REPORT OF COUNT DORSENNE, COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF
THE ARMY OF THE NORTH OF SPAIN, TO THE PRINCE
OF WAGRAM,
Ciudad Rodrigo, Sept. so.
MONSEIGNEPR—As soon as I was informed that
the English army had recrossed the Tagus, and was
approaching the Coa, I resolved on marching against
the insurgent army of Gallicia, with the design of re-
taking Astorga, and driving back into the mountains
these ill organized corps. I had acquainted the Mir-
ghat Duke of Ragnsa with my intended movement,
that, should the English army march to the assist-'
ance of that of Gallicia,- he might take measures for
~following it ; but the English army gave itself no
trouble to support that of G4icia, which was beaten
and dispersed. I retook Astorga, which was repair-
ed and provisioned. I repaired to Salamanca ; I
collected (thanks to the activity and the talents of
the Commissary Voland, whom I cannot too strong-
ly recommend to the favour of his Majesty) about
1500 carriages, laden with provisions for Ciudad
Rodrigo.
The Duke of " having communicated to me

Ragusa .
that he was coming with a part of his army to co-
operate in the revictualling of Ciudad Rodrigo, I
did not think it necessary to avail myself of the lati-
tude which your Highness gave me, to summon to
my aid the army of reserve ; I contented myself with
sending for the division of Souham, and leaving in
the its marked out by - 1r Highness the

cantonment , you. ,___
three other divisions of that army corps.

for definitively driving the English from the Penin-
