towing details, under date of the 4th inst.
" At one o'clock yesterday morning I observed
a firing from the advanced posts, which so rapidly
increased as to leave no doubt that the enemy, at all
risks, were determined to force-the head of the
bridge at a moment so critical, and when every
thing indicated the most vigorous set decided attack.
I immediately disposed to reinfotee two companies
of the Royal Guards, who, with thllefkof the regi.
ment of Ordenas, which served' as a lesereepeuri

without loss of time put in motion the teedalader of
my forces, marching in eschelles by bittalions.
The battalioa of Cuadores, commanded by Lieut..
'Col. O'Daiw, teplaced that of Ordenas it their
post ; and the What whoa the briskness of

the firing assured me the enemy were forcing
the work, which was soon verified p, the
Ordenas quitting the bridge, whey ceLtbout

'hatititt-ibmik*laria, were &tatted by

superior forces, which had. forced their Way into
the works by various points. In this critical situ.
alien, I ordered the Cazadores of Ireland to re.
occupy this at all risks; nothing could equal the
valour and rapidity with which these gitliant men
executed this movement with the bayeeet, they

sign. According to the relitioe of various pal.
goners, it appears that the 95th mid nth re.
giments of the line, and the 27th Light 10.
fantry, were those employed in this desire.
ncral Villart remained to the last with the re.
serve, threatening at the same time an attack upon
the Cotilla de la Grana, to which I paid little at..
tention, because it appeared insignificant to me, as
he never donld hide his true object,- which was el.
ther, according to circumstances, to destroy the
bridge, or preserve it, and endeavour to establish
I himself in this line. •

" The boldness with which the advanced troops
fought, and the circumstances of the moment is
which the reinforcement
.uf some companies of the
Ordenas were introduced, have caused the loss of
some gallant men, killed or made prisoners ; among
the former are the most worthy Officers of the Spa.
lash Guards, Captain D. Augustin Estevan, Lieu-
tenant D. 3. Ximenes, and Ensign D. J. Revira ;
and among the second we know of some who have
bean wounded, and covered themselves with glory.
Among the French corpses we found three Officers
and although the occupation of the entrenchment
was obtained but for a few minutes, his loss meat
have been considerable.

most exact and necessary details, in order to inform
your Excellency of those who have most distinguish-

your Excellency, that notwithstanding having had
killed or wounded some superior officers, the con-
