army, ea au officer who would do sonietiffitt seeltt
whenever as opportunity offered. He is Gra Strop-
shire family, nephew of Sir RICHARD Hat. wad of
the Rev. ROWLAND HILL. He distiaguished him-
self greatly in Egypt and in several other quartera4l
and, except General GRAHAII and Lord WELLING-
TON, is more looked up to than any other officer now
in service. But for illness, he would have comman-
ded at the memorable battle of Albuera. On the
present occasion, the French were completely taken
by surprise. General HILL sent his light troops, dis-
encumbered of baggage, and so rapid were their
movements, that when a British force appeared hs
the rear of the French, they considered it impossible
that it could be heavy. So trifling was our loss (not
amounting to more than 45 killed and wounded),
!hat General Hu.t. did not judge it necessary to de.
tail them. We hear that the Spanish troops under
Casrallos, who had long suffered from hunger and
'Other privations, behaved extremely will in this ac-
tion. So keen were the guerillas and the country in
geeeral in chace of Gen. GIRARD and the track of his
*tiny, that it was thought few of them could escape.
The advance of General HILL'S army was the Ho-
nourable General HOWARD'S brigade, of 'which the
50th Regiment in a particular ma ner distinguished
themselves, commanded by that very gallant officer,
Colonel CHARLES STEWART.
riis news has been brought to the Horse Guards
by Major HUNT. We believe that no British Officers
have been killed or setiously wounded.
