SUNDAY, APRIL 7.

DOWNING-STREET, APRIL 6.

Captain Camac arrived this morning Vvith Dispatches from Lord
Viscount Wellington to the Earl of Liverpool, dated Villa Secs,
14th, and Louzao 16th ult, of which the following are extracts..

made prisoners a.detachment of the enemy's cavalry
which were upon the road.
We found the 6th and Bth corps formed in a very
strong position near. Carat Nova this morning, and
the Light Division attacked and drove in their out-
posts. But we could dislodge them from their posi-I
tons only by movements on their flanks. According-,
ly I moved the 4th Division under Major-General
Cole upon Papella, in order to secure the passage of
the river Esa, and the communication with Espinhel,
near which place Major General Nightingall had been
in observation of the mcvements of the '2d corps since
the 10th ; sand the 3d Division, under Major-General
Picton, more immediately round the enemy's left,
while the Light Division and Brigadier-General
Pack's Brigade, under Major-General Sir W. Erskine,
turned their right ; and Major-General Alexander
Campbell, with the 6th Division, supported the Light
Troops by which they were attacked in front. These
Troops were supported by the Cavalry, and by the
Ist and sth Divisions, and Colonel Ashworth's Bri-

Villa Seca, March 14.
The enemy retired from their position which they
bad occupied at Santarem and the neighbourhood in
the night of the sth inst. I put the British army in
motion to lollow them on the morning of the 6th.
• Their first movements indicated an intention to col-
lect a force at Thomar, and I therefore marched upon
that town, on the Bth, a considerable body of troops
formed of part of Marshal Sir William Beresford's
corps, under Major General the Hon. William Stew.
art, which had crossed the Tagus at Abrantes, and
afterwards the Zezere, and of the 4th and 6th and
part of the Ist division of infantry and two jarigades
of British cavalry. The enemy, however, continued
iris march towards the Modego, 'having one corps,
the 2d, on the road of Espinhel ; General Loison's
division on the roacref*Anciao, and the remainder of
the army towards Pombal. These last were follow.
ed and never lost sight of by the light division and the
Royal Dragoons and the Ist Hussars, who took from
them about 200 prisoners.
On the 9th the enemy collected in front of Pombal
the 6th corps, with the exception of General Loison's
division, the Bth corps, and the 9th corps, and Gene.
cal Montbrun's division of cavalry. The Hussars,
which, with the Royal Dragoons and light division,
were immediately in front of the enemy's army, dis-
tinguished themselves in a charge which they made
en this occasion under the command of Colonel
Arenschidlt. A detachment of the 16th Light Dra-
goons, under Lieutenant Weyland, which had been
in observation of thd enemy near Leyria, made priso-
ners a detachment, consisting of thirty dragoons, cm'
that morning; and had followed the enemy from Lei-
ria, and arrived on the ground just in time to assist
their friends the Hussars in this charge. I could not.
collect a sufficient body of troops to commence an ope-
ration upon the enemy till the 11th. On that day,
the Ist, 3d, 4th, sth, and 6th, and the light divisions
• of infantry, and General Pack's brigade, and all the
British cavalry joined upon the ground immediately
in front of the enemy, who had come.enced their re-
treat from their position during the night.
They were followed by the light diiision, the Hus-
jars and Royals, and Brigadier General Pack's bri-
gade under the command-of Major General Sir Wil-
liam Erskine and Major General Slade, and made an
attempt to hold the ancient castle of Pombal, from
which they were driven ; but the 6th corps and Ge-
neral Montbrun's cavalry, whidi formed the rear-
guard, supported by the Bth corps, held the ground
en the other side of the town, the troops not having
arrived in time to complete the dispositions to attack
-them before it was dark. •
Upon this occasion Lieutenant Colonel Elder's
Battalion of Portuguese Caeadores distinguished
themselves.
The enemy retired in the night ; and on the 12th
the 6th corps, with General Montbrun's cavalry, took
up a strong position at the end of a defile between
Redinha and Pombal, with their right in a wood upon
the Soure river, and their left extending towards the
bigh ground above the river of Redinha. This town
was in the rear.
I attacked them in this position on the 12th with
the 3d and 4th and light divisions of infantry and Bri-
gadier General Pack's brigade and the cavalry, the
other troops bein- in reserve.
The post in the wood upon their right was first for-
ced by. Sir William Erskine with the light division.—
We were then able to form the troops in the plain
beyond the defile ; and the 3d division under Major
General Picton were formed in two lines in the skirts
of the wood upon the right ; the 4th division under
Major General Cole in two lines in the centre, having
General Pack's brigade supporting their right, and
communicating with the 3d division ; and the light
division in two lines on the left. These troops were
supported in the rear by the British cavalry, and the
Ist, sth, and Gth divisions were in reserve.
The troops were formed with great accuracy and
celerity, and Lieutenant General Sir B. Spencer led
the line against the enemy's position on the heights,
1 from which they were immediately driven, with the
loss of many men killed and wounded, and some
prisoners.
Major General Sir William Erskine particularly
mentioned the conduct of the 52d regiment and Co-
lonel Elder's Cacadores in the attack of the wood ;
and I must add tli:a i have never seen the French in-
fantry driven from a wood in a more gallant style.
There was but one narrow bridge, and a ford close
to it over the Redinha river, over which our light
troops passed with the enemy, but as the enemy com-
manded these passages with cannon some time elapsed
before we could pass over a sufficient body of troops
to make a fresh disposition to attack the heights on
which they had again taken post. The Sd division.
crowd however, and manoeuvred again upon the
enemy's left flank, while the. light infantry and ca-
valry, rtipptirted by the light division, drove • them
upon their main body at Condeixa.
• The light infantry of Major General Picton's divi-
sion, under Lieutenant Colonel Williams, and the 4th
C,asadores, under Colonel de Regoat were principally
• Once:veil in this operation.
We Maud the whole army yesterday, with the ex-
.-eeption of the second corps, which was still at Espin-
bel, ill.a'very strong position at Condeixa ; and I ob-
served tNitt they were sending off their baggage by
the road of Ponce de Marcella. From this circum-
stance I concluded that Colonel Trant had not given
up coimbra ; and that they had been so pressed in
their retreat that they had not beep able to detach
troops to force him from the place? I therefore
/Parched the $d division, uncle; Major General Pic-
ton, through the mountains upon the enemy's left,
towards the only road open for their retreat ; which
had the immediate effect of dislodging them from the
strong position a Condeixa ;_and the enemy encamT
• ped last night at CAUL' Isioya in the mountains, about
4 league from condeiza,
ill4M4it!lT f°IPRIFiCIEC4 CPIPOr4 ant
-

as an advanced guard in front of Toy d'Aronce oi
this side of the river.
I immediately made arrangements to drive in the
advanced guard, preparatory to the movements which
it might be expedient to make to cross the Ceira this
morning.
Brigadier-General Pack's Brigade had been de-'
cached in the morning through the mountains to the
left, as well to turn the enemy in his position at Mi-
randa de Corvo, as in view to any others they might
take up on this side of the Ceira. The light division,
under Major-General Sir W. Erskine, was ordered to
possess some heights immediately above Foy de
Aronce, while Major-General Picton's division was
moved along the great road to attack the left of the
enemy's position and of the village.
The 6th division, under Major-General Campbell, 1
and the Hussars and 16th Light Dragoons, supported
the Light Division and the Ist Division of the Ilth
and Royal Dragoons, the 3d.
These movements succeeded in forcing the enemy
to abandon his strong positions en this side of the
Ceira, with considerable loss. The Colonel of the
39th regiment was made prisoner.
The Light Troops of General Picton's Division
Under Lieutenant-Colonel Williams, and those ofl
Major-General Nightingall's Brigade, were principally
engaged on the right, and the 95th Regiment in front
' ,of the Light Division ; and these troops behaved in
the most gallant manner. The Horse Artillery like-
wise under Captains Ross and Bull, distinguished
themselves upon this occasion. The troops took much
baggage and some ammunition carriages in Foy de
Aronce.
1 I had been prevented from moving till a late hour
in the morning by the fog ; and it was dark by the
time we gained possession of the last position of the
enemy's advanced guard.
In the night the enemy destroyed the bridge on
the Ceira, and retreated, leaving a small rear guard
' on the river.

gade in reserve.
These movements obliged the enemy to abandon
all the positions which they successively took in the
mountains, and the two Corps d'Armee composing
the rear guard were flung back upon the main body
at Miranda de Corvo, upun the river Esa, with con-
siderable loss of killed, wounded and prisoners.
In the operations of this day the 43d, 511 and
95th Regiments and 3d Cacadores, under the com-
mand of Colonels Drummond and Beckwith, and
, Major Patrickson, Lieutenant-Colonel Ross and Ma-
jots Gilmour and Stewart, particularly distinguished
themselves ; as also.the Light Infantry Battalions of
General Picton's Division under Lieutenant-Colonel
Williams, and the 4tli Cagadores under Colonel de
Regoa, and the Troops of Horse Artillery under the
command of Captains Ross and Bull.
The result of these operations has been that we
have saved Coimbra and Upper Beira from the ene-
my's ravages, and we have opened the communica-
tions with the Northern Provinces, and we have
obliged the enemy to take for their retreat the road
by Ponte de Murcella, in which they may be annoyed
by the Militia acting in security upon their flank,
while the Allied Army will press upon their rear.
The whole country, however, affords many advan-
tageous positions to a retreating army, of which the
enemy have shewn that they know how to avail
themselves.
They are retreating from the country as they en-
tered it, in one solid mass ; covering their rear on
every march by the operations of either one or two
Corps de Armee, in the strong positions which the
country affords; which Corps de Armee arc closely
supported by the main ;body. Before they quitted
their position they destroyed a part of their cannon
and ammunition ; and' they have since blown up
whatever the horses were unable to draw away.—
They have no provisions excepting what they plunder
on the spot ; or having plundered what the soldiers
carry on their backs; and live cattle.
I am concerned to be obliged to add to this ac-
count that their conduct throughout this retreat has
been marked by a barbazity seldom equalled, and
never surpassed. Even in the towns of Torres Novas,
Thomar, and Pernes, in which the head quarters of
some of the corps had been for four months, and in
which the inhabitants had been induced by promises
of good treatment to remain, they were plundered,
and many of their houses destroyed on the night the
enemy withdrew from their position ; and they have
since burnt every town and village through which
they have passed. The convent of Alcobaga was
burnt by order from the French head quarters. Th 4
Bishop's Palace, and the whole town of Leyria, in
which General rouet had had his head quarters,
shared the same fate ; and there is not an inhabitant
of the country of any class or description, who has had
any dealing or communication with the French army,
who has not had reason to repent of it, and to nom-
plain of them. 1
This is the mode in which the promises have been
performed and the assurances have been fulfilled,
which wete held out in the proclamation of the
French Commander in Chief ; in which he told the
inhabitants of Portugal, that he was not come to
make war upon them, but with a powerful army of
'one hundred and ten thousand men to drive the Eng-
lish into the sea. It is to be hoped that the example
of what has occurred in this country will teach the
people of this and of ether nations what value they
ought to place on such promises and assurances, and
that there is no security for life or for any thing
which renders life valuable, excepting in decided re-
sistance to the enemy.
I have the honour to inclose returns of killed and
wounded in the several affairs with the enemy since
they commenced their retreat.
I have received the most able and cordial assistance
throughout these operations from Lieutenant-Gene-
ral Sir Brent Spencer, and Marshal Sir W. Beresford,
whom I had requested to cross the Tagus, and who
has been with me since the 11th instant; from Ma-
jor-Generals Sir William Erskine, Picton, Cole, and
Campbell, Major-General Slade and Major-General
the Honourable C. Colville, and the General and
other Officers commanding Brigades under their or.
dens respectively.
- I am particularly indebted to the Quarter-Master-
General Murray for the assistance I have received
from him, and the Deputy Adjutant-General the
Honourable Colonel Packenham, and the Officers of
the Adjutant and Quarter.Master•Generars depart-
ment's: also to those tf my personal Staff, who have
siren cal every assistance in their power.

Louzao, Mardi 16.
Major-General Cole joined Major.Geperal Nightin-
gall at Espitihel, on afternoon of the 14th, and
this movement, by which the Esa was passed, and
which gave us the power of turning the strong po-
sition of Miranda de Corvo, induced the enemy to
abandon it on that night. They destroyed at this
place a great number of carriages, and buried and
otherwise destroyed or concealed the ammunition
which they had carried ; and they likewise burnt
much of their baggage, and the road throughout the
march from Miranda is strewed with the carcases
of men and animals, and destroyed carriages and

°rinse h Mire-rot from his Excellency Marsha!-General Lord
WextittoroN, dated Head-quavers, Villa Seca, the 14th of
March, 1811, to his Excellency Senior D. Moo xi. Pumas.
FO&JAZ. .
After giving an account of the operations to this
date, the same as in the London Gazette, his Lord.
ship proceeds thus : .
44 I am much concerned to have to inform your
Excellency, that the town of filadajos surrendered on
the 11th instant to tile enemy. Though I have not
yet learned all the circumstances of this event, I can
have no doubt with respect to the fact. From the
intoment when the enemy entered Estremadura, and
employed his forces against that place, my attention
was called and directed to the means of saving it.
64 Antecedent to the unfortunate battle of the 19th
of February, I determined to reinforce the Spanish
army, in order to oblige the enemy to raise the siege
of that place, and I should have carried into effect
this my determination, had I been joined by the re.
reinforcements which I expected to arrive in the Ta.
gus about the end of the month of January. The
battle of the 19th February destroyed the Spanish
troops on whose aid and co-operation I had depended.
It was, in consequence, impossible to detach a suffi.
event number of troops to effect the object I bud in
view. I determined, however, after the arrival of the
reinforcements, though the enemy should not have,
retired from his position on the Tagus, to attack him,
should the state of the roads permit. —The reinforce-
ments arrived in the beginning of March, but had
not then joined the army ; and in the night of the
.sth, the enemy retired from the position he occupied.
On the 6th instant, I desired General Leite, the Go.,
vernor of Elvas, to communicate to the Governor of
Badajos, by means of signals, or in any other man-
ner which might best suit, that Massena had begun
to retreat, and that he might be assured that I would
succour him as soon as possible ; in the mean time I
trusted that he would defend himself to the last ex-
tremity. I had in consequence made every arrange.
ment to detach a body of troops when the enemy
should leave the Tagus and the Zezere, and accord.
ingly, with this view, troops marched from Thoraar
on the 9th, as they did also from other points, that
part of the corps of Marshal Beresford which had
taken 'post on the other side of the Tagus, and the
vanguard of which had advanced to within three
marches of the fortress of Elvas.
a On the morning of the 9th, I received at The.
mar intelligence of the most favourable kind from
Badajos ; by which I was induced to believe, not only
that the place was not in any actual danger, but that
the fire made on the enemy was much superior and
effectual to that received from him ; and that, with
the exception of the loss sustained in the death of
General Menacho, it had suffered very little ; that
there was no want of provisions or ammunition; anti
that it was in fact in so good a condition, that it was
probable it might hold out a month. General Imaz,
a person of equal reputation with the late Governor.
succeeded to the command, and the greatest confi-
dence was reposed in him; but he surrendered to the
enemy on the day following that on which he received
my assurances of succour, at the same time that i
urged him to defend it to the last extremity.
a It is useless to make any reflection on the lam
here stated. The Spanish nation has lost in the course
of two months the fortresses of Tortosa, Olivenza, and
Badajoz, without any sufficient cause ; and at the
same time Marshal Soult, with a corps of troops
which never was supposed to exceed 20,000 men, be.
sides the capture of the. two last places, has made pri.
soners and destroyed above 22,000 Spanish troops.

SECOND DISPATCH.
After :.taring the movements up to the 16th, as
given in The London Casette, his Lordship thus pro.
ceeds :
" The destruction of the bridge of Foy de Aronce,
the fatigues which the troops had suffered tor several
preceding days, and the want of provisions, induced
me net to continue on this day the march of the army.
a After I had sent off to your Excellency my for-
mer dispatch of the date of the lath, I learned scale
further particulars of the surrender of Badajos. It
