GENERAL ORDERS.
Adjutant-General's Office, Regiosa, Oct. 2, 1211.
Na. I.—The Commander of the Forces is desirous of drawing
the ittention of the army to the conduct of the ..141 Battalion sth
Regiment, 77th Regiment, and the 21 sr Portuguese ltegiment,
and Major-Geueral ARlNciime's Portuguese artillery, under the
command af the lion. Major-General Co Leta az ; anl of the 11th
Light Dragoons and let Hussars, under Tlajor-General Aarae,
in the affair with the enemy on the 25th ult.
No. C.—These troops were attacked by between 30 and 40
squadrons of cavalry, with 6 pieces of catmon, supported by a
division Consisting of 14 battalions of infantry, with cannon. The
Portuguese artillerymen were cut down at their guns before they
quitted them, but the 2d battalion sth reeintent, attacked the
' cavalry which had taken the guns, and retook them; it the same
time the 77th regiment were attacked in front by another body
of cavalry, epon which body they ads armed and repulsed them.
-No. S.—Whilst these actions were performed, Major-General
Akxan's brigade, of which, then only three squadrons on the
Mend were engaged on the left, with numbers Infinitely supe-
xiessto themselves. 'These squadrons, charged repeatedly, sups
pAtingeach other, an took above 2A prisuuers; and notwith-.
standing the issinimse superiOrity of the enemy, the post would
PV.PI l?'stert Maintitined, If the Cnntmander of the Forces had npt
'oraiire4• tile troops to withdraw from it, seeing that the action.
,•,,
ufinald become still more unequal, as enemy's infantry were
t4ly to be engaged in it, before the reinforcements ordered to
kali 'appeal of the post could arrive.
''No. 4.--The tames then retired withthe samedetermined spl-
.
rest,g,ead lb the same goes' ordee with which they had maintalbed'
digit post. The second battalion, sth regiment, and 77th reale
meat, in one square; and the 21st Portuguese regiment in an
that, supported by Major-General ALTt/e1 cavalry, sod the
Portuguese artillery. 'I he enemy's cavalry charged three Acer
of the square of the British infantry, but were beaten off ; and
finding, from their repeated fruitless efforts, that these brave
troops were not to be broken, they were content with following
them at a distance, and firing upon them with their artillery, till
die troops joined the remainder of the third division, and were
afterwards supported by a brigade of the fourth division. Al-
though the 21st Portuguese Regiment were net actually charged
by the cavalry, their steadiness and determination were eonsplu
cabin, and the Commander of the Forces observed with pleasure,
the order and regularity with which they made all their move-
ments, and the confidence•they chewed its their Officers.
No. 3.—Tie Con:mender of the Forces lass been partkelar In
stating the detail of this action in the General Orders; as, its bit
ophsiew„it affords memorable example of what may be effected
by steadiness, discipline, and confidence. It is impossible char
any troops can at any thne-be exposed to the attack of numbed
relatively.greiter than theta which attacked the troop* tentloo.

IiotACT OF A L ETTrE PROSE Gig NALDO, DATED SEPT. 2.5 i
5 'O'CLOCK, P. M.
" Our troops have fallen back on the position
Hind upon, and will lie on their arms to-night. The
11F1*
h are very superior in cavalry, and their horses
linter in capital condition, and very fine men also,
e sth Foot behaved this morning in a most gallant
-Style ; they killed above 500 of the enemy, whilst .
Ihey had only two wounded, one a Captain. The
bench charged them, and did not fire, and they kept
them off very well. They retook the artillery which
Major Arentschild had lost, I believe an entire bri-
gide ; lint these brave fellows suffered terribly after-
-wards from the French artillery. The enemy's ca-
valry were not very dashing coesidering their great
superiority. One of their officers, however, died Vice
a hero; for, whilst he lay on the ground, wounded,
he drew his sword against a German hussar who call-
ed on him to surrender. He collared the officer and
threw him on the ground : still he made feeble efforts
to resist, when the hussar shot him dead. I have
seen about 20 wounded brought in. The 11th dra-
goons have suffered much ; but they cut through and
through the French cavalry in the most gallant stile,
although they were but a handful. We were rather
taken by surprise, for the moment the enemy appear-
ed, they charged, and took the guns from the Portu-
guese. It was a very grand sight to see the troops
change their positions ; and the day was particularly
favourable. The heavy cavalry and flying artillery
arrived after the business was settled."
The Carlow regiment of Militia, on their arrival in
England, will march to Chichester, for the duty of
that city.
That fine regiment, the Leitrim Militia, from the
excellences( its appearance, great steadiness, and the
pitch of discipline it has auained, has become a great
favourite during the short time it has been at Canter-
bury, and called out the praises of General Mews,
the Commander in Chief of the District.
Tuesday sennight, that gallant regiment, the 7th
Hussars, u. !erwent a minute inspection in Dublin,
by a General Officer, previous to their leaving be-
hind, to share in the glories of the Peninsula.
Tuesday se'nnight, the volunteering from the Gal:
way Militia commenced at their head-quarters in Li-
merick, when. 15 privates entered into the line.
Monday sc'nnight two companies of the Marquis of
Salisbury's. regiment, the Hertford Militia, under the
command of Lientenant-Colonel Fowt.a, arrived in
Limerick, from Cork, on their route to Ballinasloe ;
the remaining four companies have not arrived in Ire-
land, though they sailed with the above division from
I an English port.
The gallant Lieutenant LETHAM, of the 3d or Old
Buffs, who so nobly distinguished himself is Portugal,
and saved one of the colours of that regiment at the
battle of Albnera, notwithstanding that he was at-
tacked and most cruelly wounded by four Polish Lan-
cers, is arrived in Ireland, and is now at the seat of
Ouven Lemur, Esq. of Hellen Park, County Tip-
perary. He is in good spirits, and is daily recovering
his health and strength. •
At a Quarter Assembly held at the Assembly
House, Dublin, on Saturday last, the Freedom of that
City was unanimously voted to Lord MARCH, son of
his Grace the Duke of Rictionen, for his gallant con-
duct in fighting the enemies of his country in Spain and
Portugal ; it was ordered to be presented, with an ad-
dress, in the most respectful manner, accompanied by
a sword, value 20 guineas.—The Freedom of the City
was likewise presented to General COLE and Lieute-
nant-Colonel Gooctr, for their active services and va-
liant conduct in the late battles in Spain.—AnAddress
was then ordered to be presented toCaptain FERNS, son
of Sir JOHN FERN s, with a Sword, as a token from the
Corporation of Dublin, for his highly distinguished
valour in the battle of Albuera. Sir JOHN FERNS,
in his rising to return thanks to the Corporation
for this mark of approbation of the conduct of his
son, gave a detail of the gallant Officer's suffer-
ings : he was wounded in seven places—two sabre
;.wounds—two gun-shot wounds, and the rest from
the Polish lancers; he was taken prisoner, and lax
two days in SOULT'S camp nithout his wounds being
Tressed ; and on Seour's retreat was robbed, stripped,
and left for dead on the field, where he was found by
the Arinsh Army.
'MturanvHowoun.—At the expedition to Wal-
, eheren, twelve of the French cannon were found
; spiked in Fort de Batz, when John Skinner, a Gre-
nadier belonging to the First Regiment of Foot
I Guards, applied to his Commanding Officer, Colonel
Rainsford, to allow him pet mission to make an at-
• tempt in working the spikes out, and having made
„himself a tool with the assistance of some sand, he
completely succeeded in unspiking them. This was
considered such a meritorious act, that it was repre-
sented to the Duke of York, the Colonel of his Regi-
ment, and his Royal Highnesthaving consulted with
the Officers, directions were given for an elegant die
to be struck for an appropriate medal, to be present.
ed to him, which took place on Sunday fortnight, it
r Knightsbridge.. The two companies of Grenadian
were called cut, who surrounded John Skinner, when
Colonel Rainsford addressed him in a neat and an+
able speech on his meritorious conduct, and presented
him with a very elegant silver medal. On one side
John Skinner is represented on a cannon. Under-k'
' is his name, and the words " Presented by the Duke
of York and the Officers of Smi Fink Regiment of

COVENT GARDCM.—Last night the Comic Opera
of The Woodasaa was represented, in which Mr. Ste- •
celiac, in the part of Wilford, received much weli.de-
serted applause. Mrs. CHILD also, in Eerily, displayed
eminent and improved talents, which became•pecu-
Early conspicuous in the duet between her and SIN-
CLAIR, of ~ Together let us range the Fields." The
Farce was The Romp, and the house, though not full. •
was respectably attended. ,
LYCEVM.—Mrs. DICICONS, last night, made her first
appearance before a metropolitan audience since her
secession from the Covent Garden Company, its the
character of Clara, in Smaimerr's admirable opera of
The Deanna. She was in fine voice, and gave a moss
pleasing and impressive delineation of the character
she sustained ; indeed we know net, though we have
seen her its the same part many times, whether we
ever saw her to more advantage. The house was
eery, fashionably crowded, and it is almost needless to
add, that loud plaudits marked Mrs. DIEICONN'S per-
sonation of Clara.
A song has been written on the late battle between
Cribb anti Malineux, the burderrof which is very pro-
perly " Witach ! row de dove." •
Thursdayfast, the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and
Council of Glasgew, having taken into consideration
the late great rise in the price of grain, and the low
rate of wages wnich the manufacturing clesses are
able to earn, resolved to present a petition to the
Pftrece REGENT, praying his Royal Highness to adopt.
audit measures as may prevent the farther un9ecessary• •
consumption of the first article of subsistence in d.s-
edlation.
A letter has been received from Wingoe Sound, by
which it appears, that a fleet of '2l ships had sailed.
from thence, under convoy, for the Baltic. Nearly
200 sail were at Hanno Bay, which were to take their
departure; at latest, in the middle of October, and aU
the ships of war, both in the Baltic and in the North
Seas, were making active preparations for their return '
home.
Letters from Heligoland by the Mail of the 18th
instant, report, that a considerable impressment of
seamen had taken place in the Elbe for the Antwerp
fleet, and that the garrison of Hemburgh had been
encreased by about 1000 men, who were shortly to
proceed for the northward. ' We are likewise told,
that considerable movements of troops had taken
place in Hanover, and other parts of the kingdom of
Westphalia.
