OFFICIAL DISPATCH.
COPY OP A DISPATCH IPRO,I BRIGADIER-CENEEAL 'MAD-
DEN TO HIS EXCELLENCY MARSHAL. DER WORD,
DATED MERIDA, SEPT. 17, 1810.
• My last letters will have informed your Excellency
that the brigade of cavaliy which I command, hav-
ing been jr.ined by two squadrons of the regiment of
cavalry, No: 3, was united to the army of the Mar-
quis Romana. On the 11 th instant, in consequence
of an order which we received; we all marched to
Fuente de Maistro, against the enemy, who, it was
said, had quitted the neighbourhood of Seville, and
had marched by the high road from Seville to Bada-i
joz. On the evening of the same day we arrived at i
los Santos, and the following day at Calrzadilla (a
small village, a league distant from Fuentes de Ca-
nos, where eneral Carrera was posted, with the
Spanish cavalry). On the morning of the 16th, 1 re-
ceived
a letter from General Carrera (as I had in-
formed
him of my arrival), acquainting me that thel
French, to the number of 10,000 infantry, 1800 ca-
valry, and some pieces of artillery, had continued
their march against him as far as Monasterio, and
that they were already in sight. I received his letter
at half-past seven in the morning, and at eight we
were ready, and set off to join him. Our march 1
should have been by the high road to Fuente de
Cantos, but an Aid-de•Camp of General Carrera
having arrived just as we commenced our march, and
informed me that a body of the enemy had marched
by Bienveaida upon our left, and threatening our
rear-guard, I thought it prudent, for our mutual se-
curity, to march at a little distance from the road,
and luckily an elevated point, upon which I ascended,
enabled me to discover, not only the whole. country,
but even the French army and the Spanish cavalry.
Although I was at the distance of half a league, by I
the help of a glass I could clearly discover that the
French were marching different columns of infantry,
flying artillery, and a large body of cavalry ; a large
-number of sharp-shooters covered their columns and
kept up a heavy fire upon the Spanish cavalry, which
had then formed in two lines at the foot of the Fuente
de Cantos. The Spaniards had advanced at the same
time a considerable number of light infantry, who de-
fended themselves with great -courage, supported by
a piece of flying artillery; but as the fire and superior
force of the enemy had obliged the first line of the
Spanish cavalry to make a retrograde movement, and
as this movement was not made as rapidly as the at-
tack of the enemy, some confusion f9llowed, and the
six pieces of artillery were lost.
This loss, and the rapid movement of the French
not allowing the Spaniards to form regularly between
the two lines, both lines were thrown into the greatest
disorder, and the French pushed forwards some squa-
drims of cavalry, in pursuit, which was also done in
great disorder. Having observed this, and not dis-
covering that the enemy were oa the road ti Bierre-
nida, I decided immediately on succouring General
Carrera, and marched towards his position. Having,
however, arrived at another height in my front, and
observing the same irregularity in the pursuit of the
Spaniards, without any hope that the Spanish cavalry
could form, I determined to attack the ten squadrons
of French cavalry (five of them formed in line, the
other five in pursuit), although we had only six squa-
drons, having left the other two in our rear ; I there-
fore posted these six squadrons at the back of tho
summit of the mountain, sending Captain Dodweu
forward with the advanced guard, with orders to re!
tire upon the summit of the mountain, which service
was regularly executed by that officer. I had also
met, by chance, with a small body of Spanish ca-
valry, whict I likewise posted at the back of the
mountain. This stratagem had the desired effect ;
all the French cavalry which were composed of 550
of the 2d regiment of hussars, 400 of the 10th ditto,
and 180 of the 21st regiment of horse chasseurs, mak-
ing about 1100 men, commanded by General Brict,
advanced furiously upon us, when 'I immediately
changed my plan, attacked them suddenly, and I
had the happiness to see that their chosen troops, in
the moment of victory, could fly before 763 raw
soldiers (as appears by the inclosed list), whose in.
vincible courage did not permit them to consider the
danger to which they were exposed by attacking for
the first time, the veteran troops of France. We fol-
lowed the French up to their lines, and even under the
fire of their *ninety, which they played upon us with
grape. In this attack waosaylost three prisoners, Ensign
Dener, and two soldiers of the 10th regiment of
hussars ; but although our attack and retreat was so
rapidly effected, we could only take twelve horses, as
the French had 10,000 infantry, a superior body of
cavalry to ours, and a large park of artillery to pro-
tect them and destroy us, had we ventured farther.
It was, not possiLle to verify what number of the
enemy were killed ; but if your Excellency will ima-
gine six squadrons of cavalry, regularly formed, mak-
ing a sudden attack upon troops in disorder, the num.
riser of the killed must be considerable. We saw many
'dead on the field, and every information from the pri.
!loners, agree in this point. The consegnences of this
ration have been most important, as your Excellency
will perceive from the inclosed Proclamation of the
Martinis Romana ; and the different General Officers
assure me, that we preserved the principal part of
their army, and that we delivered 400 Colonels, in-
ferior Officers, and soldier's of their cavalry, who had
been take-a prisoners in the attack of the moraing,
'and who, by our attacking the French, were enabled
to escape. lam sorry to acquaint your Excellency,
that our loss in this action, although small, consisted
of the very distinguished young officer, Lieutenant
Jose de Costa, who is supposed to have been killed,
and 27 inferior officers and soldiers, many of whom
we only suppose to be missing for the present. We
did not lose a single man in our retreat, excepting
those.who had lost their horses, and who are included
in the above number. .

I. • X have now only to speak of the zeal and courage
of the troops I had the honour to command in this
action. It would be, impossible at this moment to

CANALS., DE MEDINACELI, SEPT. 48.
Colonel D. Juan Martin, on the 14th instant, had
an encounter with the enemy in the vicinity of Ci-
fuentes, of which an account is given in the follow-
ing letter to the Superior Junta of Guadalarara :
. • " Cogolludo, Sept. IS, ISIS.
" MOST EXCELLENT Sallon--I received information
on the 14th, that the enemy, considerably reinforced,
had put themselves in motion from Brihuega, in a
direction towards the town of Cifuentes, where I was
with a great part of the troops under my command.
I immediately sent forward some advanced parties,
and ordered three companies of cavalry, under the
command of D. Vicente Sardina, D. Saturnino Al-
buir, and D. Jose Monddeu, to take post on the flat
grounds of the Soledad • a battalion of musketeers,
under the command of 6. Nicolas de Isidro, on the
heights of the castle ; and another of volunteers, on
the ridge of S. C'ristobal. All the troops waited for
the enemy with calmness, and were anxious to come
to bloWs.
6' About two in the afternoon our advanced parties
came in sight of those of the enemy, and attacking
them with intrepidity, drove them back, and forced
them to retire. The French Commander, on seeing
his piquets driven in, reinforced them with cavalry
and infantry, supporting them also with one piece of
cannon ; in consequence of which, I also reinforced
my parties,•who fought the enemy with great ardour,
and retarded his march for more than an hour. At
last, however, our troops were compelled to retire ;
for the enemy bringing up all his force, advanced with
rapidity against Cifuentes, varying his operations ac-
cording to the positions of our troops. As the posi-
tion of our cavalry was not advantageous, I ordered
it to pass on by the town. and take post in the rear ;
so as, by covering our flanks, to supportany point where
it might be necessary. It was about four in the after-
noon when the battalion of musketeers opened a very
brisk fire on the French infantry, and though they suc-
ceeded in driving them back more than once, yet they
at last retired in order to prevent their being sur-
rounded, and joined the battalion of volunteers ; for
the enemy's cavalry having advanced, while the fire
of their cannon was not suspended for an instant, he
succeeded in entering the town on the side of the gar-
dens. Ile French cavalry continued advancing on
the side of Canredondo, while the infantry, supported
by the cannon, advanced on the opposite side, doubt-1
less with a view to cut as off. But our cavalry, who
observed this motion, advanced to meet that of the
enemy, and attacked it with so much ardour, that,l
notwithstanding the roughness of the ground, they
were not only forced to abandon' heir design, but pre-
cipitately
fly till they got under the protection of their
infantry.
" The intrepidity of our troops on this beeasion
was such, that in spite of the brisk fire which was
opened upon them, they advanced even up to the
bayonets of the enemy. On the approach of night
the enemy retreated to Cifuentes ; whilst I did the
same with my troops to Canredondo, in order to give
them some rest and refreshment, leaving 200 infantry
and 100 horse upon the heights, in sight of the former
town.
" My intention was to have attacked them next
morning; but though I put my troops in motion for
that purpose I could not accomplish it, the enemy
having fled at day-break, after having plundered and
set fire to the town in different quarters, wreaking
upon the houses that resentment which the troops of
the, tyrant must feel upon seeing themselves humbled
by a few bands of brigands, as they call them ; but
bands, which, though they treat contemptuously in
their bulletins, they regard with respect, and fear in
the moment of attack.
eg On the morning of the 15th, I entered Cifuentesi
and was struck with horror at the sight of a confla-
gration so extended and devouring, which in a short
time would have reduced the whole town to ashes;
some of my soldiers found every where the remains
of the combustible materials employed to set it on fire.
,g The troops with which we fought on this occa-
sion amounted to between 900 and 1000 infantry, and
about 400 horse, commanded by a General and two
Colonels.
66 Our loss is trifling, while that of the enemy mast
be very considerable ; as we learn from trust-worthy
persons, that they have lost more than 150 killed and
severely wounded, besides 12 horses, without reek-
oning the prisoners and deserters. On our side I can-
not notice individuals, since all have distinguished
themselves. May GOD preserve, &c.

LISBON, NOVLMBER 6.
Numerous bodies of excellent troops arrived
England last Sunday. They are perfecdy eq
every point of view, to the gallant corps whi
Britannic Majesty had before detached for the,
of this country. We are assured that the French
evacuated the Asturias, on account of the combined
operations of Renovales, and the Commanding
cers of the different corps stationed in the said
cipality.
As no memorable events have hitherto taken
between the armies, we have it not in our post
communicate to our readers any interesting inform.
tion relative to military. operations. It is reported,
however, that General Silveira intends to compel ,
meida to surrender ; an undertaking which could
prove to him a difficult task, considering the'
which he has collected under his orders,
with a good train of artillery ; while the garrison
Almeida is by no means numerous. It also
certain that Abrantes is occupied by a force fully
ficient to defend that important post. LordWk"
ton, with his accustomed indefatigable energy,
caused every point of his line to be furnished,
necessary troops to obstruct and check every
of attack which may be made by the enemy.

Circular Lettets have been addressed to the Mem-
bers of the Privy Council, requiring their attendance
on Monday next, fot the purpose of examining his
Majesty's Physicians ; that proceeding having, as it
is said, been rendered necessary by the continuance
of his Majesty's indisposition.
It is also said that, in the event of the Medical Re-
port being unfavourable, some measures of import.
ance are ready to be submitted to Parliament, which
are not likely to meet withnny opposition, or to occa-
sion any immediate change among the Members of
Government : the report adds, that:ne Commoner
will be raised to the Peerage, lot. a time at least.

flat hat, with black feathers hanging over his face.—
He travels with the utmost expedition, and with such
dispatch and 'secrecy, that he is often at Fontainbleau
when the inhabitants, and even Ministers, think that
be is in Paris. * Whenever he walks in public, his
suspicious eyes are on the watch, turning from side
to side, as if he dreaded the dagger of the person
neat him. -
