A Dispatch, of which the following is an extract,
has been this day received at Earl B4tfluist's Office,
addressed to his Lordship by Field Marshal the Mar-
quess of Wellington, dated
St. Jeah de Luz, Pebrusey co, Inia.
In conformity with the intention which• I corn.
municated to your Lordship in my list dispatch, I
moved the right of the army, under Lienten int-f3e-
neral Sir K. Hill, on the bath ; he thove in the
enemy's picquets on the Joyeuse river, and attacked
their position at Halette, from whult he obliged
General Harispe to retire, with loss, towards St.
Martin.
I made the detaehmqnt of General Nl;na's troom
in the valley of Bast4h, advance on the came d. 7
upon Baygorey and Bidarran and the direct coma ,
municatitas of the carmy with St. Jean, Pied de Par;
being cut off -by Lieutenant-General Sir Itoslalad
that fort has been blockaded by the Spairila
troops above-mentioned.
On the following morning, the 15th, the troops
under Lieutenant-General Sir Rowland?* Hill con-
tinued the pursuit of the enemy, who had retired to
a strong position in the font of Garris, where Gene'
ral Harispe was joined by General Paris's divibineg
which had been recalled tram the march it hail cum.
menced for the interior tf France, and by other
troops from the enemy's centre.
General Murilla's Spanish division, after driving
in the enemy's advanced posts, was ordet cd to move
towards St. Palais, by a ridge parallel to that on
which was the enemy's position, in order to turn their
left and cut off their retreat by that road, While tile
21 division, under Lieut.-General Sir W. Stewart,
should auack rat front. Those troops made a motet
gallant attack upon the enemy's position, which was.
remarkably strong, but which was carried without
very considerable loss.
Much of .the day had elapsed before the attack
could be commenced, and the action lasted till after
dark, the enemy having made repeated attempts to
regain the position, particularly in two attacks, which
were most gallantly received and repulsed by the
39th regiment, under the command of the Hon. Colo.
nel O'Callaghan, in Major General Pringle's brigade.
The Major-General, and Lieutenant-Colonel Bt Lice,
of the 39th, were unfortunately wounded t we took
ten officers, and about 200 prisoners.
The right of the centre of the army made a corre-
sponding movement with the right on these days, and
our posts were on the Bidouze River on the evening
of the 15th.
The enemy retired across the river at St. Palais in
the night, destroying the bridges, which howevc r
were repaired, so that the troops under Lieutenant-
General Sir Rowland Hill crossed on the 16th
and on the 17th the enemy were driven across the
Gave de Mouleon. They attempted to destroy the
bridge at Arriverete, but they had not time to corn-
pleat its destruction ; and a ford having been disco-
vered above the bridge, the 92d regiment, under the
command of Lieutenant-Colonel Cameron, supported
by the lire of Captain Beane's troop of horse artillery,
crossed the ford, and made a most gallant Attack ur.
on two battalions of French Infantry posted in the
village, froth which the lager were driven with 110:0

■

I

ar-
S lerable lose. The enemy retired in the night acrossl
the Gave d'Oleror, and took up a strung position in
the neighbourhood of Sauveterre, in *Nth they Were
joined by other troops.
On the 18th, our posts were established 'on .the
Gave d'Oleron.
In all the actions which I have above detailed to
your Lordhhip, the troops have conducted thems Ives.
remarkably well ; and- I had great satisfaction in ob.
serving the good conduct of those under General
Murillo, in the attack nr Hellete on the 11th, and in
, driving •-i the enem . advanced posts in front of
their posirion,'at Garris, on the 15th.
Since the 14th the enemy have considerably
weakened their force in Bayonne; and they have
Withdrawn from the right of the Adour, above the
town.

I have received no intelligence from Catalonia
since I addressed your Lordship last ; hut I have this
day received a report from the Governor of Pamplo-
na, stating that the fort of J.ica had surrendered to
General Mina by capitulation, on the 17th inst. I
am not acquainted with the particulars of this event,
but I know that the place contained eighty-four
pieces of-brass cannon.

FOREIGN-OFFICE, MARCH 11.
A Dispatch, of which the following is a copy, has
been received 4t this Office from the the Right Hon.
Lord BURGIIERSH, dated—

Troyes, March 4,181 f.
MY LORD—Troyes is again occupied by the Allies.
The defeat of the enemy yesterday, the rapidity with
which he was driven from all the positions defending
the approach of.this town, secured us the unopposed
possession of the place.
I stated to. your Lordship, in my last dispatch,
that, after several successful affairs with the rear
guard of the French army, General Frimont had es-
tablished his headquarters at Vandoeuvre.
The Prince Royal of Wurtemberg pursued the ad-
vantages he had obtained over the corps of Marshal
Macdonald, at La Ferte and Clairvaux, on the 28th,
took possession of Bar-stir-Seine ton the Ist, and fol-
lowed the retreat of the enemy to La Maison4Blanche
on the 2d.

By a reconnoissance male on that day it was as-
certained the French army was in position along the
Barce, on the right of the Seine, and at La Maison
Blanche on th left of it.

Prince Schwartzenberg determined to attack on
the 3d. The corps of General Wittgenstein WAS
directed by Piney to turn the left of the enemy at
the village of Laubrussel, and to threaten his com-
munication with Troyes, by marching in the direc-
tion of St. Parre.

General Wrede was to wait the movement of Ge-
neral Wittgenstein, was then to attack the bridge of
La Guillotiere, and to move upon the enemy's front.
The Prince Royal of Wurtemberg was at the same
time to attack the enemy's position at La Maison
Blanche.

The circuitous road by which the corps of Gene-
ral Wittgenstein was directed, prevented its arrival
on the flank of the enemy till near three o'clock in the
afternoon.
The Prince Eugene of Wurtemberg (who com-
mands one of its divisions) immediately commenced
the attack by moving along the heights towards Lau-
russet, Clllvtiig Ltir clictigy trclinc tansy end •a Surma
by storming aid carrying the village.
General Wittgenstein supported this attack by all
tle artillery of his corps. Count Pallets, upon the
right, began already to threaten the enemy's rear.
At this moment Prince Schwartzenberg directed
five battalions of Bavarians to pass the Barce, near
Courteranges, establish themselves in the wood on
the right of that riser, and place themtelves in com-
munication with the Russians at Laubrossel: This
movement wn‘; immediaidy carried into execution.
Geueral Wiede stormed the ()ridge of La Gull.
lotiere, drove the enemy from it with loss, and thus
carried the whole of his position.
Threatened on every side, Marshal Oudinot retired
his army along the road towards Troyes. Several
successful egarges were made upon him in his retreat,
by the cavalry of General Wittgenstein. Teti pieces
of cannon, .54. officers, and 3000 prisoners, are the re-
sults of the action.

The enemy was driven to the village of St. Parre;
his rear-guarfl only remained there, the rest of his
force defiled during the night through this town. At
nine o'clock this morning. General Wrede advanced
upon the enemy, who retired, and upon being sum-
moned to surrender this place, capitulated, on being
allowed half an hour to evacuate it. Prince Schwart-
zenberg, as soon as the stipulated time was passed,
directed all the cavalry to pursue upon the road to-
wards Nogent. The Cossacks and Bavarians made
several most gallani charges ; Prince Schwartzen-
berg himself conducted their advance, which was
done with great spirit and activity. Several priso-
ners were ttie result of the affairs ; the enemy was
driven beyond Les Greys. The Prince Royal of
Wurtemberg carried the position of La Maison
rilanche, with little opposition. His corps is already •
in the ne;glibnurhood of this place ; his cavalry
upon the road to Sens. It i, most gratifying to me
to have to report to your Lordship the successes of
the troops under the orders 01 Prince :a artzenberg.
Although struggling with ,the pri Vations necessarily
attenda,,t on au army, where front the rapidity of its
movements the establishment of magazines has been
impossible, yet the exertions and enterprise both of
officers and men are unabated. In the actions of
these last days, the Prince Marshal has expressed his
warmest approbation of the conduct of his army.
General Wittgenstein and GeneralWrede have par-
ticularly received his thanks. To the Prince Eugene
of Wurternburg, not only for his coltduct on these
late occasions, but for his ga/lantry enterprise in
ewvary action in which be has seen him engaged against
the enemy, Prince Schwartzenberg has returned his
warmest acknowledgements, and the most cordial
tri"ote of his admiration.
Your Lordship is already informed, that the head-
quarters of Marshal Blucher were at La Ferte on the
28th of February ; no advices ,have since been re-
ceived from him. To keep up the communication
with that officer, and to threaten the rear of Bona.
parte now marching against him, Prince SChWeitt-
Zenbvrg has directed Count Plutoff to move upon Se-
canoe. In his progress to that place, he has already
captured the town of Ards, with the French g4l rlsm-
-which occupied it. ._t have the honour to be, Bcc•

MONDAY, MARCH 14.

WAR DEPAR TivIEN r.
DOWNING-STREET, MARCH 14, 1814.
Dispatches, of IN hich the following are copies,
were received last night from General Sir THOMAS
GRAHAM, K. B.

Head-quarters, Cakaolin, March le, 1814.
MY LORD—It becomes my painful task to report
to your Lordship, that an attack on Bergen-op-Zoom,
which seemed at first to promise complete success,
ended in failure, and occasioned a severe loss to the
Ist division, and to Brigadier-General GOre's brigade.
It k unnecessary for me to state the reasons which
determined me to make the attempt to carry such a
place by storm, since the success of two of the co-
lumns, in establishing themselves on the ramparts,
with very trifling loss, must justify the having in-
curred the risk for the attainment of so important an
object, as the capture of such a fortress.
The troops employed were formed in' four columns,
as per margin*. No. 1, the left column, attacked
between the Antwerp and Water Port Gates. No. 2
attacked to the right of the New Gate. No. 3 was
destined only to draw attention by a false attack near
the Steenbergen Gate, and to be afterwards appli-
cable according to circumstances. No. 4, right ea
lumn, attacked at the entrance of the harbour, which
could be forded at low water, and the hour was fixed
accordingly at half past ten P. M. of the Bth instant.
Major-General Cooke accompanied the left column.
Major-Gneral Skerrett and Brigadier-General Gore
both accompanied the right column ; this was the
first which forced its way into the body of the place.
These two columns were directed to move along the
rampart so as to form a junction as soon as possible,
and then to proceed to clear the rampart and assist
the centre column, or to force open the Antwerp Gate.
An unexpected -difficulty about passing the ditch
on the ice, having obliged Major-General Cooke to
change the point of attack, a considerable delay en.
sued, and that column did nl)t gain the rampart till
half-past eleven.
Meanwhile the lamented fall of Brigadier-General
Gore, and Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. George
Carleton, and the dangerous wound of Majos-Gene-
ral Skerrett, depriving the right column of their able
direction, it fell into disorder and suffered great loss
in killed, wounded and prisoners. The centre column
having been forced back with considerable loss by
the heavy fire of the place (Lieutenant-Colonel Mar-
rice its commander, and Lieutenant-Colonel Elphin-
stone commanding the 33d regiment, being both
wounded), was reformed under Major Muttlebury,
marched round and joined Major-General Cooke,
leaving the left wing of the 55th to remove the
wounded from the glacis. However, the Guards too
had toftered—liell verety aurtng tne ntgnt, fly toe
galling fire from-the houses on their position, and by
the loss of the detachment of the Ist Guards, which,
having been sent to endeavour to assist Lieutenant-
Colonel Carleton* and to secure the Antwerp Gate,
was cut off, after the most gallant resistance, which
cost the lives of many most valuable officers.
At day-break the enemy having turned the guns
of the place, opened their fire against the troops on
the unprotected rampart, and the reserve of e 4th
column (the Royal Scotch) retired from the Water
Port Gate, followed by the 33d. The former regi-
ment getting under a cross fire from the place and
Water Port redoubt, soon afterwards laid down their
arms.

Major-General Cooke then despairing of success,
directed the retreat of the Guards, which was con-
ducted in the most orderly manner, protected by the
remains of the 69th regiment, and of the right wing
of the 55th (which corps repeatedly drove the enemy
back with the bayonet), under the Major-General's
immediate direction. Ihe General afterwards found
it impossible to withdraw these weak battalions, and
having thus, with the genuine feelings of a true soh.
diere devoted himself, he surrendered to save the lives
of the gallant men remaining with him.
I should wish to do justice to the great exertions
and. conspicuous gallantry of all these Officers, who
had the opportunities of distinguishing themselves.—
I have not as ye: been able to collect sufficient in-
formation.

Major-General Cooke reports to me his highest
approbation generally of all the officers and men em-
ployed near him, particularly mentioning Colonel
Lord Proby, Lieutenant-Colonels Rooke, command-
ing the Coldstream Guards, Mercer, of the 3d Guards,
commanding the light companies of the Brigade (the
latter unfortunately among the killed), Majors Mut-
ticbury and Hog, of the 69th and 55th, as deserving
of his warm praise. He laments, in common with
the whole corps, the severe loss to the service of these
distinguished officers, Lieutenant-Colonel Clifton,
commanding the Ist Guards, and Lieutenant-Colonel
the Honourable James Macdonald, of that regiment.
These officers fell, with many others, at the Antwerp
gate, all behaving. with the greatest intrepidity ; and

.

Lieutenant-Colonel Jones, with the remainder of the
detachment, was forced to surrender.
The service of conducting the columns was ably
provided for by Lieutenant-Colonel Carmichael
Smyth, of the Royal Engineers (he himself accom-
panied Major-General Cooke, as did also Lieutenant-
Colonel Sir George Wood, commanding Royal Ar-
tillery), who attached officers to lead each column,
viz. Captain Sir George Hoste, and Lieutenant Ab-
bey, to the left; and Lieutenant Sparling to the
right, and Captain Edward Mitchell, Royal Artillery,
who volunteered his services, to the centre column,
each having a party of sappers and miners under his
command.
Lieutenant Abbey was dangerously wounded, and
Captain Michell was covered with wounds, in the act
of escalading the scarp wall of the place, but I. trust
there are good hopes of his not being lost to the set.-
vice.—Your Lordship will readily believe, that though
it is impossible not to feel the disappointment of our
ultimate failure in this attack, I can only think at
present with the deepest regret of the loss of so many
of my gallant comrades.
I have the honour to be, &c.

Bergen-op-Zoom, Marclilo, I 814.
Stn—l have now the honour of reporting to your
Excellency, that the column which made the attack
'on the Antwerp side got into the place about eleven
o'clock on the night of the Stle by the clock of this
town ; but at about half-past eleven, by the time we
were regulated by, a delay having occurred at Bourg-
bliet, occasioned by my finding it necessary to change
the point of attack, on account of the state of the ice
at the first intended spot. Every exertion was made
by Lieutenant-Colonel Smyth and Captain Sir G.
Hoste, of the Royal Engineers, in getting on the lad-
ders and planks requisite for effecting the enterprizes
and in directing the placing them for the descent into
the ditch, the passing the feet in the ice, and ascend-
ing the ramparts of the body of the place ; during
which operation several men were lost by a fire from
the rampart.
After we were established on the rampart, and had
occupied some houses, from whence we might have
Ween much annoyed, and had sent a strong patroie
towards the point at which Major-General Skerrett
and Lieutenant-Colonel Carleton had entered, I de-
tached Lieutenant-Colonel Clifton with part of the
Ist Guards, to secure the Antwerp Gate, and to see
if he could get any information of the column under
Lieutenant-Colonel Morriee. Lieutenant-Colonel
Clifton reached the gate, but found that it could not
be opened by his men, the enemy throwing a very
heavy fire up a street leading to it. It was also found
that they occupied an outwork, commanding the
bridge, which would effectually render that outlet
useless to us. 1 heard nothing more of this detach-
ment, but considered it as lost, the communication
having been interrupted by the enemy.
Lieutenant-Colonel Rooke, with part of the 3d
Guards, was afterwards sent in that direction, drove
the enemy from the intermediate rampart, and reached
the gate, when he found it useless to attempt any
thing, and ascertained that the outwork was still oc-
cupied. We were joined in the course of the night
by the 33d, 55th, and 2d battalion of 69th regiment,
but the state of uncertainty as to what h.id passed at
other points, determined inc not to weaken the force'
now collected, by attempting to carry points which I,
we could not maintain, or penetrate through the
streets with the certain loss of a great number ot men,
particularly as I heard that the troops at the Water
Port Gate, under Lieutenant-Colonel Muller, were
very seriously opposA. I sent the 33d to reinforce him.
The enemy continued a galling fire upon us, and
at one time held the adjoining bastion, from the
angle of which they completely commanded our com-
munication with the exterior, and brought their guns
at that angle to bear against us. They were charged
and driven away by Majors Muttlebury and Hog,
with the 69th and 55th, in a very spirited and gal-
lant style.
Finding that matters were becoming more serious,
and being still without any information from other
points, excepting that of the failure of Lieutenant-
Colonel Morrice's column near the Nourd Gate, 1
determined, at the suggestion of Colonel Lord Proby,
to let part of the troops withdraw, which was done
at the ladders where they entered.
About day-light the enemy having again possessed
themselves of the before-mentioned bastion, they
were again driven from it by Majors Muttlebury
and Hog, with their weak battalions, its the same
gallant manner. I soon afterwards began sending
off some more men, when Lieutenant-Colonel
Jones, who had been taken prisoner in the night,
came to me (accompanied by a French Officer,
who summoned me to surrender), and informed
me that Lieutenant-Colonel Muller, and the troops
at the Water Port Gate had been obliged to sur-
render, and were marched prisoners into the
town, when I also learnt tie tate of Lieutenant.
Colonel Clifton's detachment, and of Major General
Skerrett, Major General Gore, and Lieutenant Colo-
nel Carlton, and that the troop; which had followed
them had suffered very much, and had been repulsed
from the advanoeti point; along the rampart where

saner.

they had penetrated to. I was convinced that s
longer continuance of the contest would be an useless
loss of lives, and without 3 crospect of relief as we
were situated. I therefore consented to adopt the
mortifying alternative of laying down our arms.
I have now to perform the just and satisfactory duty
of conveying to your El:celleney, my sense of the me-
rits and good conduct of the officers_and soldiers in
this bold and arduous enterprise : I hare only a
knowledge of what passed under my own observatior,
and I lament that the loss of Major General Ski..
rett, from his dangerous wounds, and of the caes
sueerior officers employed at the other points of attack,
prevents sae from giving such detailed praise of t 1
merits of the officers and soldiers, as I have no dnutA
they deserve.

I beg to repeat my sense of the distinguished err,.
duct of Colonel Lord Proby ; Lieutenant C9larels
Rooke and Mercer, commanding the Sd Guards, ;tut
light infantry, distinguished themselves by their acti-
vity and bravery ; and Majors Muttl bury and Hog,
of the 69th and 55th regiments, deserve my warm

son to know that Lieutenant Colonel Clifton conduc-
ted his detachment in the most gallant and office--
like manner, and I have to lament that h:s death de.
prives me of receiving kis report of the conduct o!
Lieutenant Colonels *Donald and Jones, and 0 e
officers and soldiers of the Ist Guards, ur.der
