here mistaken for Spaniards, and the) f(11 upon ti
flank and rear of our troops. We Nstaimd sow
loss, and Lieutenant-Colonel Pelly, of the Pith dra..
goons, having had his horse shot, was taken pm
soner.

The delay occasioned by this misfortune enable
the enemy to bring up a very superior body of (.1.
valry, which was charged by I.l!ajoi-Gen. Bock's at
Major-Gen. Anson's brigades, ❑ear the Yenta del
Pozo, but unsuccessfully, and oar rear-guard uas
hardly pressed. The enemy made thrir charg.-5 ea
the two. light battalions of the King's German L.-
gion, formed in squares, but Were always ret,ulF,d
with considerable loss by the steadiness of these two
battalions. They angered no loss, and I cannot
sufficiently applaud their conduct and that of Col.
Halkett, who commanded them.

! The exertions and conduct of Lieutenant-General
Sir S. Cotton, and of the Officers rind Staff attacked
to him throughout this day, were highly meritrrlious;
and although the charge made by the cavalry was not
successful, I had the satisfaction of observing great
steadiness in their movements. Major Bull's troop
of horse artlitet7, under*Majer Dowoman and Cap.
tabs Ramsay, distinguished themselves.
The army continued its march on the 24th, and
took tip its ground on the Carrion, with its right at
Dumas, and its left at Villa Muriel, and the Ist
;battalion Ist Guards joined us from Corunna.
I halted here on the 25th, and the enemy attacked.
our left at Villa Muriel. They were repulsed, how.
ever, by•-tite-fiftieNlivision of infantry, under the
comma—nil of Major-General Oswald, in the absence
of Lieutenant-General Leith, on account of indis•
position.

I had directed the third battalion of the Royals to
march to Palencia, to protect the destrucion of the
bridges over the Carrion at that place ; but it ap•
pears that the enemy assembled in such force at that
point, that Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell thought
it necessary to retire upon Villa Muriel, and the
enemy passed the Carrion at Palencia. This ren-
dered it necessary to change our front, and I directed
Major-General Oswald to throw back our left, and
I the Spanish troops upon the heights, and to maintain
the Carrion with the right of the fifth division. The
bridge of Villa Muriel was destroyed; but the enemy
discovered a ford, and passed over a considerable
body of infantry and cavalry. I made Major-Gen.
Pringle and Major-General Barnes attack these
troops. under the orders of Major-General Oswald;
in which attack the Spanish troops cooperated, and
they were driven across the river with considerable
loss. The fire upon the left had been very severe
throughout the day; from which we suffered a great
deal; and M. General Dan Miguel Alava was un-
fortunately wounded while urging on the Spanish
infantry in the pursuit of the enemy.

I broke up this morning from the Carrion, and
marched upon Cabecon del Campo, where I hate
crossed the Pisuerga.

The enemy appear to be moving in this direction
from Diens. I propose to halt here to-morrow.
P. S. I have the honour to inclose returns of toe
killed and wounded.
