Sin—ln forwarding the inclosed return of the ca..
sualties which occurred yesterday, I feel it my duty
,-to state, in addition to what I had the honour of
communicating to you before, that our misfortune,
arose from too great eagerness and zeal in the pur-
suit, after having broke the enemy's first line, each
regiment vying with each other who should most dis.
tinguish itself, which gave him an opportunity of
bringing up fresh troops and of charging us, at a
time when we were in confusion.
I beg leave again to repeat, that the exertions of
the efficers to restore girder was conspicuous ; but the
two regiments having got mixed in the charge it 'oak
some time before this object could be accomplished,
during which we lost most of the prisoners we had
taken, and suffered, I am grieved to say, severely.—
It is a satisfaction to me to be_able to add, that the
enemy lost in.killed and wounded full as much as
ourselves, and considered himself completely routed.
I have the honour to be, Scc.

FROM SATURDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.'

•WAR DEPARTMENT.
DOWNING-STREET, JULY t
A Despatch, of which the following is an extract,
has been this day received at Lord Bathurst's Office,
addressed to the Earl of Liverpool, by General
the Earl of Wellington, dated Salamanca, 16th
June, 1812.
The army crossed the Agneda on di:. 13th inst.
and marched forward in three columns, the troops
under Don Carlos d'Espma forming a fourth ; and
the whole arrived upon the Valrausa, a rivulet abont
six miles from hence, on the 16th. The enemy
shoved some cavalry, and a small body of infantry,
in front of the town on that day, and manifested a
design .to hold the heights on ►he south side of the
'Formes, but their cavalry were immediately driven
in by our's ; and the enemy evacuated Salamanca
on the night.of the 16th, leaving a garrison (•f about
NO men in the fortifications which the had erected
• on. the ruins of the colleges.and convents which they
have demolished.
By the fire from these they pratect the passage of
the 'formes, by. the bridge ; and our troops crossed
that river yesterday morning-by two fords which are
in this neighbourhood.
The forts were immediately invested by the 6th
'division, under the command of Major-General
Clinton, and having been accurately reconnoitred, it
was found necessary to break ground before theist;
this was done last night, and I hope that we shall
commence our fire to-morrow morning from eight
pieces of cannon, at the distance of 500 yirds from
the principal of the enemy's works, the possession
of which. will, I. hope, give us the possession of the
others. Major-General Clinton conducts these ope-
i rations.
