General. Latirisabel, having opened ,

My division halted on the eastern

towards the heights of Borrosa.
As I considered that position as

and the alacrity with which this manceu
cnted served as a favourable omen,
impossible in such intricate and dit

time to restore it entirely.
But before we could get ourselves

time his right wing stood on the
edge of the wood, within cannon

reach of the easy communication by the sea beach,
must have involved the whole Allied Army in all the
danger of being attacked during the unavoidable
confusion of the different corps arriving on the nar-
row ridge of Bermesa nearly at the same time.
Trusting to the known heroism of British troops,
regardless of the numbers and position of their ene-
lily, an immediate attack was determined on. Ma-
jor Duncan soon opened a powerful battery of 10
guns in the centre. Brigadier-General Dilkes,
with the brigade of Guards, Lieutenant-Colonel
Browne's (of the 28th) flank battalion, Lieutenant.
Colonel Noreott's two companies of the 2d Rifle
corps, and Major Acheson with a part of the 67th
foot (separated from the rigimeut in the wood)
formed on the right.
Colonel NVheatley's brigade, with three compa.
hies of the Coldstream Guards under Lieutenant.
Colonel Jackson, (separated likewise from his hat.
gallon in the wood), and Lieutenant-Colonel Bar.
toard's flank battalion formed on the left.
As soon as the infantry was thus hastily got to-
gether, the guns advanced to a more favourable pa-
!Rion, and kept up a most destructive fire.
The right wing proceeded to the attack of Gene.
ral Rufin's division on the hill, while Lieutenant.
Colonel Barnard's battalion, and Lieutenant-Colo-
net Bushe's desachment of the 20th Portuguese were
warmly engaged with the enemy's tirailleurs on our
left.
General Laval's division, notwithstanding the
havoc made by Major Duncan's battery, continued
O) advance in very imposing masses, opening his
fire of musketry, and was only checked by that
of the left wing. The left wing now advanced
tring ; a most determined charge by the three com.
panics of guards, and the 87th regiment, supported
by all the remainder of the wing, decided the defeat
of General Laval's division.
The eagle of the eighth regiment of light Watt-
try, which suffered immensely, and a howitzer re.
Warded this charge, and remained in possession of
Major Gough of the 87th regiment. These attacks
were zealously supported by Colonel Belson with
the 28th regiment and Lieutenant Colonel Prevost
with a part of the 67th.
A reserve formed beyond the narrow valley,
across which the enemy was closely pursued, next
shared the same fate, and was routed by the same
ineans.
_ _

Meanwhile the right wing was not less successful :
the enemy, confident of success, met Gen. Dilkes
on the ascent of the hill, and the contest was san.
• .
usury ; but the undaunted perseverance of the
de of Guards, of Lieut.. Col. Browne's bat.
cation, and of Lieut.. Col. Norcott's and Major
Acheson's detachment, overcame every obstacle,
sad General ltufin's division was driven from the,
heights in confusion, leaving two pieces of cannon.
No expressions of mine could de justice to the
conduct of the troops throughout. Nothing less
than the almost unparalleled exertions of every
lifficer, the invincible bravery of every soldier,
and the most determined devotion to the honour of
his Majesty's arms in all, could have achieved this
brilliant success) against such a formidable enemy,

so posted. _
In less than an hone and a half from the com-
mencement of the action, the enemy was in full
retreat. The retiring divisions met, halted, and
seemed inclined to form : a new and more advanced
position of our artillery quickly dispersed them.
The exhausted state of the troops made penult
impossible. A position was taken on the eastern
side of the hill ; and we were strengthened on our
right by the return of the two Spanish battalions
that had been attached before to my division, bot
which I had left on the hill, and which had been
ordered to retire.
These battalions (Walloon Gaards end Ciudad
Real) made every effort to come back in time, when
et wee known that we were engaged.
I understand, too, from General Whittinghant,
that with three squadrons of cavalry he kept in
check a corps of infantry and cavalry that'attempled
to turn the Baum, Height by the sea. One aqua.

attack of the hill, I left Major Ross with the de.

Sra,--An expedition having been determined
upon by the Spanish Government, to which Lieu.
tenant. General Graham has consented to give his
personal assistance, together with that of a consi-
derable portion of the troops under his command,
I have felt it my duty, after fully stating in Coun.
oil the uncertainty and risk to which, at this season
of the year, all measures connected with naval ope.
rations on the coast are subject, to lend the Expe-
dition all the aid and assistance in my power, and
body of troopii, exceeding 3000, including ca.
very, various military stores and provisions, are at
ptesent embarked, either in his Majesty's ships St.
Albans, Druid, Comas, Sabine, Tuscan, Ephira,
Steady, and Rebuff, in such transports as I could
avail myself of, or in Spanish men of war, and
small transports of our Ally • and the whole, Loge.
titer with a numerous fleet of Spanish transports, in
which a body of 7000 troops of that nation are
embarked, ars-waiting in this bay a favourable op-
portunity to proceed into the Straits, with a view
to force a landing between Cape Trafalgar and Cape
de Plata, at Tarifa, or at Algesiras, in failure of
the two former places. General La Pena is the
Commander le Chief of this Expedition ; and as
the object is to unite the Spanish forces at St.
Roche with the troops sent from hence, with a view
to make a combined attack. on the rear of the ene-
my's line before Cadiz; at the same time some de-
monstrations, and an attempt to open a communi-
oation with our troops are to be made from this
quarter,'whicb is thought to require my particular
attention ; I base, therefore, placed the execution
of the British naval part of the Expedition under

though the Imvlacable and Standard weighed, the
pilots refused to take ilaern to their appointed sta.
lions, and, in the opinion,sof the best-informed, the
weather was of too threatening a nature to venture
a landing, and which, as the army was engaged by
noon, according to the telegraph, would Out have
