Soito, 7th June,lBll.
MY Lonn—in My letter of the sth instant from
Villa Formosa, I did myself the honour of acquaint-
ing your Lordship that I had just returned from the
heights in front of Gallegos, from whence I disco-
vered-a body of the enemy of about three thousand
Men, consisting of five hundred cavalry, and 2500
infantry, with artillery, entering Ciudad Rodrigo,
from the Salamanca road. I requested Colonel
Waters to remain on the heights until sunset, to
notice whether any more of the enemy followed those
which I have mentioned, and he reported to me that
they were succeeded by another column; but I have
strong reason to think, from what I shall relate to
your Lordship, that they must have marched large
bodies of infantry and cavalry into Ciudad Rodrigo
in the course of the night.
According to your Lordship's instructions I con-
ctntrated the troops rather more in their c.uiton-
ments, upon hearing a few days before that the ene-
my were moving in the direction of Ciudad Rodrigo,
and took the other necessary precautions for failing
back.

The enemy advanced, as T thought it probable, at
day-break on the morning of the 6111, in two co,
lumns ; one taking the direction of Gallegos, and the
other that of Carpio are,' Espeja. The former was a
heavy column of cavalry and infantry, with several
guns, and the latter c,asisted of about six thousand
infantry ; but in saying this I should observe, that,
from the nature of the country, the rear of these co.
lumns could not be discovered. They had also up.
wards of two thousand cavalry, and ten gang,
which moved across the plain in front of Fuentes de
Ilonor.
From the nature of the country being so perfectly
open, and the probability of the enemy bringing a
large portion of his cavalry upon this point, I
deemed it most prudent to withdraw the light divi-
sion under Brigadier-General Craufurd, which ac-
cordingly fell back from Gallegos and Espeja, at two
o'clock in the morning, upon Nave d'Aver.
Observing the rapidity of the enemy's advance, and 1
the superior number of his cavalry, the light division,
With the Horse Artillery attached to them, was di-
rected
to retire further back upon Alfayates, the
first and fifth divisions gradually faking back from '
Aldea de Ponte and Nave d'Aver to the heights just
behind Soito, and the sixth division from Mealhada
de Sordo to Rendo, the cavalry remaining in front of
Alf aye tes.
It is with great pleasure I have to mention the very
admirable conduct of the Royals, under the com-
mend of Lieutenant-Colonel Clifton, and one troop
of the 14th Light Dragoons, whick being all that
were employed in covering the front from Villa de
Egua to Espeja, were assembled at Gallegos, and
retreated from thence agreeably to my directions.
The force which they were opposed to your Lordship
is in possession of in this letter ; and notwithstanding
all the efforts of General Mentbrun, who commanded
the French cavalry, to outflank the British, pressing
Ceem at the same time in front with eight pieces of
cannon, their retiring to Nave d'Aver merits the
highest admiration.
En offering my sense of their conduct, and of the
very stubborn manner in which they retired, 1 detiv-u
ver pat satisfaction in acquaintieg your Lordship
j that - or-Genefal Slade directed in person the
w taf the affair, and by his movements foiled the
d ns of the.enerny, and the British cavalry main-
tained.* anual their high character.
The Major-General in his report to me speaks in
much praise of Major Dorville, of the Royal Dra-
goons f Captain Purvis, of the same regiment, and
of Cain Dowson, of the 14th Light Dragoons,
who had opportunities of distinguishing themselves
much.
I ant not able to judge exactly of the designs of the
Alillen4, but I know that they left Salamanca with
eighteen thousand infantry, and with upWards of
three thousand cavalry, and thirty-four pieces of attn.
ltry, on the road to Ciudad Rodrigo.
In concluding my statement of the movements of
yesterday, I beg leave to add my acknowledgments
for the choice made by. your Lordship, of the Hon.
Colonel Pakenham, and of Lieutenant-Colonel Delan-
cey, at the head of their respective departments, with
this portion of army : their zeal and good judgment
is already known to your Lordship.
The loss of the cavalry upon this occasion, I am
happy to say, amounted to no more than ten rank
and file wounded, and nine missing ; and six horses
killed, ten wounded, and four missing.
I hate the honour to be, &c.

The Dispatches brought by Major ARMSTRONG
ikons Cadiz, which we inserted in our Paper of Satur-
day, represent that place as in ti:greatest tranquillity.
The following private,letter comprizes almost evety
article of interesting information from that quarter :

" CADIZ, JUNE 15.

" Admiral ICEATs has sailed from thls place with the British
Beet under Ms orders, in pursuit of a French squadron which has
Made its escape from L'Osient, and le probably bound to the !Vie-
digennaean.
" The 47th reziment, commanded by Colonel SICEILRIT,
sod-about 50 men of the 95th, with half a company of Artillery
'meow embarking on board the Regulus for Tarragona, width
by oar last amounts tad out, but was much distressed, and It is

feared, without afsittadce, Would be Alrited to Wunder. The
wind being due East is again't their sailing.
" Marshal Vtcro a, with a strong detaelmhent of troops,
marched a few days ago to joib Sonvr, leaving a sufficient num-
ber of men to keep a temporary possession of the works. If the
siege tbouid be raised, it would set at liberty 14,000 good troops,
British and Spaniards, for the purpose of co-operating in their
rear. I should imagine that it would be raked shortly, as all
the olive gieroes near Seville, and the pine forests near Cadiz,
have been burnt. The French dared not do this before, fearing
to exasperate the people; but now they are going, they do as
much harm as they can." _ _

No expedition had sailed from Cadiz, but boats
completely manned and provided were ready toembark
the garrison at an hour's notice, either to attack the
enemy in his entrenchments, or to accelerate the pur-
suit in the event of his flight. It is however considered
by the best informed impossible to prevent his escape.
It had been determined to act offensively as soon as
the enemy should llisappear, and to destroy, as a mea-
sure of precaution, all the works occupied by the
French on the bay, whether recently constructed or
ancient fortifications.

His Majesty's ship ZEALOUS has arrived at Ports-
mouth from Lisbon, but we have not learned the date
of her sailing, or that she brings any news.

The following Bulletin was yesterday shewn at St.
James's Palace :

" WINDSOR, JULY 6. 1811.
it His MAJESTY is in some respects a little better
this week. (Signed)

" H. HALFORD. BAILLIE.
" W. DEBERDEN. " R WILLIS."
The Queen's Council on Saturday made their guar.
terly Report of the state of his MAJesry's health,
which will be laid before Parliament this week.
The Doke of PORTLAND has taken Bath House,
Piccadilly, for three years.
The Princess of WALES intends giving a splendid
dejeuenne a la fourchette to the fashionable world in the
course of the present week ; about 600 cards have
been issued. The FRENCH PRINCES were invited,

but politely declined the honour thus intended them.
Covent Garden Theatre was elegantly filled on
Saturday evening to see Mrs. Jononx perform Belinda,
in the natural comedy 'of All in the Wrong : and,

though the performance was admirable, it excited our
surprize that so many persons should come from all
parts to see a comedy that seems slow to be univer-
sally rehearsed in every quarter of the globe.
The Directors of the Bank of England issue their
Ss. tokens to-morrow. The tokens for Is. 6d. are in

preparation, and will be shortly issued.
A letter from a gentleman in Havannah to a mer-
cantile house at Barbadoes, mentions that the former

port had been placed on the same tooting as Cadiz, iH
regard to foreign merchandize, and its re•ezportation
to the Spanish colonies in the Westerr. Hemisphere.

Letters from Barhadoes to the Ist June, state that
a Deputation had arrived there from St. Bartholomew,
to solicit the interference of our Naval and Military

Commanders in preserving that Island to the lawful
Monarch of Sweden (Count Gottorp), the inhabitants
appearing inclined to submit to the existing authority
of the mother country under the Crown Prince. One
of the Swedish Officers had a long conference with
Admiral Sir F. LAFoREY.

The report of the engagement between the advan-
ced guards of the French and Allied Armies on the
15th ult. does not seem to be well founded. A letter
from an officer of rank has been received front E!•
vas of the same date, and he says not only that there
had been no battle, but that the armies were not near
to each other. The packet did not sail until the 17th,
and the Telegraph at Elves communicates with Lis-
bon in 36 minutes. It would have been impossible,
therefore, that information of such an occurrence
should not have been transmitted before her departure.
Sir JOSEPH YORKE sailed on Friday, from Ports-
mouth, with the VENGEUIt, 74., Capt. B.ttowN; DAN U.•
MARK, 74., Capt. BISSETT ; EDINBURGH, 74, Capt.
Rou.as ; PYRAMUS frigate, Capt. DASHWOOD ; and
the ROVER sloop, Capt. FINLEY. Sir Jowl! has
sealed orders (to be opened to the westward of Scilly)
it is conjectured he is gone to Bermuda and Halifax.
A regiment from Guernsey, and several General Offi-
cers will follow him to lower the pride of the Yankies.l
The HOTSPUR, Hon. Capt. PERCY, arrived on Sa-
turday at Portsmouth, from the Mediterranean with
a convoy. She left Malta on the 20th April. The
AMPHION, AcTIVE, CERBERUS, VOLAGE, and the Co-
rona and Bellona prizes were lying there. The two
latter, with the A SIPHION, were to sail on the Ist May
for England. At Palermo, on the Sth of May, she
left the Calloeus, 80, Admiral CH ARLES BOYLES ;---
CUMEEnLAND and l'Espoin. On the 2Jd of May, at
Minorca, she left the RODNEY, 74., Admiral FREE..
M ANTLE; WA RSPITE, BOMBAY, ELI' YALUS, and SPIDER
brig. Off Malaga, on the Ist of June, she spoke the
Tuscan and Richmond. She arrived at Gibraltar on
the 4th, and sailecragain on the 6th ult. for England,
she spoke PAime cruizing in the Gut I and left the
PKA It LEN at Gibraltar, which had arrived from iht
West Indies, with General MAITLAND on board,
j bound to Sicily. The HOTSPUR is under quarantine.
Before the Horseutt left Gibraltar, a fleet was in
in sight from the Rock, supposed to he the SuccESs,
Capt. AYSCOUGH, with the homeward-bound convoy
from Malta. The Lord Nelson, one of the HOT•
setnt's convoy, spoke in lat. 42. long. 11. 8. the Rolla
transport, which sailed from Lisbon on the 4th tilt.
with 31 sail, in charge of the Mer.pome:se. Seventeen
sail of transports arrived with the Horseva.
Accounts from Heligoland to the Ist instant, were
received on Saturday. They state that the flag of
truce which conveyed the dispatches to Count GOT-
TOR?, did not return to the Elder till the 25th. Soon
after its departure, G usravus Antmentis got on board
another vessel, and put to sea, steering the same course.
On overtaking the Dane, the Count had a long con-
ference with the Captain, whom he is represented to
have urged very earnestly to convey him to Deamark,
but which the latter peremptorily refused, as being
contrary to his instructions. The Count subsequently
returned to Heligoland, where the prevailing belief
that some kind of negotiation was on foot, which
would shortly open the ports of Holstein and Jutland
to cur comtnerce, had so favourable an influence, that
colonial produce rose 16 percent."
