VICTORY IN PORTUGAL.

Yesterday Captain Bonet, Aid-de-Camp to Lord
WicuaNgrow, arrived at Lord LIVERPOOL'S Office, in
Downing-street, with dispatches from Lord WEL.,
merom. Captain Bracts was landed at Portreath,
in Cornwall, from his Majesty's ship GLEANER, whence
he proceeded to Truro in. a chariot, provided by Lord
DUNSTANVILLE, and thence to London in a post-
'chaise and four. These dispatches announce an im-
portant victory gained by the Allied Army on the-
27th ult.--a victory enhanced by the circumstance of
the Portuguese troops having sustained the principal
brunt of the action, and acquitted themselves in a
manner that would have done credit to veteran troops.
We shall not take up the time of our Readers with
any remarks. The Official Bulletin sent to the Loan
MAYOR last night, and the Gazette Extraordinary
published this morning', both of which are subjoined,
are full and explicit :

BULLETIN.

" Downing•itreet, October 14.

gg MY LORD—I have the honour to acquaint your
Lordship, that Captain Bumf, Aide-de-Camp to
Lord WELLINGTON, arrived at my office this evening,
with the intelligence of the French army, under Mar-
shal MASSENA, having crossed the Cris on the 25th,
in the neighbourhood of San Combados ; the ad
vanced guard of the British army retired in conse-
quence to the position fixed upon on the top of the
Sierra de Buzaco, where the whole of the British
army were then posted. The enemy were occupied
during the 2Gth in collecting the whole of their army,
and at six o'clock in the morning of the 27th, made
two desperate attacks on the position of the Allied
Army, the one on the right, the other on the left
of the highest point of the Sierra de Buzaco. The
attack upon the right was made by the two divisions
•of the 2d corps of the French army on that part of
the Sierra, occupied by the 3d division of infantry.
One division of French infantry arrived at the top
of the ridge, when it was attacked in the most gal-
lant manner by three regiments ; two of British and
one of Portuguese, which drove the enemy's division
from their advantageous ground they had obtained.
Theother division of the 2d corps of the enemy attacked
further on the right; but this division was likewise re-
pulsed before it reached the top of the ridge by a British
regiment and a brigade of Portuguese infantry. On the
left,the enemy attacked, with three divisionsof infantry
of the 6th corps, that part of the Sierra occupied by
the light division of British infantry, and by a bri-
gade of Portuguese infantry. One division of in-
fantry only made any progress towards the top of the
hill, and they were immediately charged with the
bayonet, and driven d6wn with immense loss.—
The loss sustained by the enemy in his attack of the
27th has been enormous ; the General of division,
MERLE, and Genetal M.tVEAN are stated to have
been wounded, and General SnaoN was taken pri-
soner by the .52d Regiment, with three Colonels, 33
Officers, and 250 men. The enemy left 2000 killed
on the field of battle, and the prisoners and deserters
represent the loss in wounded as immense.
ge The enemy did not afterwards renew the attack,
but moved a large body of infantry and cavalry from
the left of his centre to the rear, on the -road which
leads from Montago over the mountains towards
Oporto. Lord WELLINGTON having .reason to be-
lieve that the enemy would endeavour to turn the
fl arks of the combined armies by that road, had cliL.;
rected Colonel THANT with his division of militia to
march to Sardao, buthe was unfortunately sent round
to Oporto by a General commanding in the north ;
an.: no!withstane!ing the efforts he made to arrive in
time, he did not malt Sardoa till the 28th at night,
after the enemy was in possession of the ground. As
it was pplyible No in the course of the night, of the
2ath the enemy world throw his Whole army upon
that road, Lord WELLINGTON was induced to with-
draw froth the Sierra de Buzaco, and the whole army,
‘vith the exception of the advanced guard, was, on
the 30th, n the left of the Mondego.

gg Lord WELJANGTON speaks in the highest terms
o he con3uct -of ev::ry part of the army, and repre-
vnis the Portuguese troops as worthy of contending
in the same ranks v. 411 British trows, in the interest-
ing cause which they afford the best hopes of. saving.
The loss of the British amounts to, 1 Major, I Cap-
tain, 2 Lieutenants, 1 Ensign, and 97 lank and file,
killed ; 3 Lieuteaant•Co onels. 5 Majors, 10 Captains,
and-430 rank And file, wounded ; and 1 Captain mis-
sing. The loss of the Portuguese amounts to 4 Cap-
tains, 2 Lieutenants, 2,Subalterns, and 82 rank and
file, killed ; 5 Captains, 18 Subalterns, and 478
wounded.—l have the honour to be, my Lord, your
Lordship's Int.st obedient humble servant,
(S;gned) "LIVERPOOL.
