Plymouth to the Admiralty.
By the letters of this morning, we now find that
the Manchester packet arrived at Falmouth on &aw
turdar, in sit days from Corunna, with Mails siA.
Dispatches from the Marquis of WELL niarox.—•
There is no direct telegraph communication with
Falmouth—this accounts for
_the transmission of the
news from Plymouth.
The following is an outline of his Lordship's op
rations : The allied British, Portuguese and Spanish
troops under his Lordship's command, attacked tie
outworks of Burgos on the 19th ult. and carried the
with the loss of 400 men, British and Portugusse.--•
The French instantly retreated towards Vittoria, lest'
ing 2000 men in the castle, which was to be attack
on the Tuesday following, and no doubts were obit
tained of success. The main body of the British aril
were in pursuit of the French.
The French army had arrived at Vittoria on MC
retreat. The French finally quitted Bilboa on the
Bth. &HAT also continued to retreat. •
One letter which we have seen gives the follooial.
