NOTE OF THE SUPREME JUNTA.
SEVILLE, July 90.
The Supreme Junta has the most entire
satisfaction to inform the public, that by a
dispatch received this day, by express from
the Most Excellent Segnior d. Francisco
Xavier Castanos captain general OF the
forces of .Andalusia, of which literal eX-
tract is hitherto annexed. a most convincing
proof is given of the military talents with
which the operations have been conducted,
inasmuCh as the results exactly correspond
with the well digested plan which had been
formed. So fortunate have they been, that
from the very first encounter, the Enemy has
continued 70 fly with the utmost disgrace,
and his fight has been complete rout
this effect having been produced by events
which he certainly could not have preven-
ted
"MosT SERENE SEIGNIoRs,
&c In my dispatch of the 18th, l acquain-
| ted YOU with the state of our operations and
| proceedings. On the 18th general Reding
wrote to inform me, that at nine in the
morning he had entered Baylen with his
own division and that of the Marquis De
Compeigne, which had ordered to join him
and that the enemy were retrearing from
that place to Guarranan, having left behind
only a grand guard, which was put to the
rout. ! Instantly wrote to Reding 70 attack
Andujar, in flank with the two divisions,
whilst I should attack - in front. l was
preparing to execute my plan at day break
| this morning, when, 1t two O'Clock, / was
appraised that the enemy were evacuating
Andujar, and making precpitate flight by
the road to Madrid. l cannot conceal my
surprise, that the inhabitants of Andujar did
not give inc the slightest notice Of this move
ment.
| Finding that the enemy we're making
their escape from me, | ordered La Pena,
| with his division and some renforcements,
| tn harrass their rear; disposition SO much
the more proper, as | had just received
letter from general Reding, informing me
that he had marched from Baylen at three
in she morning with the intention Of making
his attack upon Anduj ar at eleven so that
in consequence of his active and opportune
| movements Dupont will find himself placed
between these two divisions and that of ee-
neral La Pena. fatter myself that the re-
suit will correspond with the well combined
dispositions o. the plan
Your HighneSs may hourly expect intel
ligence of the intended attack to day, for
which every thing is prepared.
81 occupy this city with the division of ge-
neral Jones, where / have taken position
adapted to circumstances. The enemy have
lett oOU SICK C 1t Is believed that Gen. Nedel
was killed in the affair of Mengibar.
81 have also received advice from COM
mandant Cruz, that he had proceeded with
MS sharpshoorers TO Los Banos. in order to
cover the movements of the respective divi-
siors; and if Col. Baldecanos has followed
| my instructions to him, most favorable op-
portunity will occur of occupying Despena-
| perros; since, in dispatch which We have
intercepted, dated the 10th, from the Chief
of the staff of the French army at Baylen,
to the commandant of Santa Elena, the lat
. ter is directed to march TO Guarraman, lea
wing only 500 men at that point.
May God preserve your most Serene
iiiShness many years.
