DESPATCH
From Lord Hsconnt WELLINc7 RON f WEI
LEsLEr) to Lord CAsTLEREAsH, dated
DELETosA, Aug. 8, 1909.
My LORD,
apprized your Lordship on the LIST
inst. OF the advance of a French corps towards
the Puerto de Banos, and of the probable EN-.
oarrassments 20 the operations of the army,
which Its arrival at Placentia would occasion !;
and these embarrassments having since ex
listed to degree so considerable as to oblpe
us to fall back, and to take up defensive
position on the Tagus; am induced to trou-
Bile you more at length, with an account of
what has passed upon this subject.
When entered Spain, had a communi
cation with Gen Cuesta. through Sir r Will
son and Col. Roche, respecting the occupa-
ton of the Puerto de Banos and the Puerto
de Perales, the former of which, it was at
last settled. should be held by a corps to be
formed under the Marquis de la Reyna, to
consist of two battalions from Gen. Cuesta's
army, and two from Bejar and that the
Puerto de Perales was to be taken care Of
6y the Duque del Parque, by detachmenls
from the garrison Of Cindad Rodrigo
'hN NoPuSiS1 VI tuC HARRISON or

the latter but had so little doubt of the eff
fectual occupation of the former, that in wri-
ting to Marshal Beresford on the 18th july.
de sired him to look to the Puerto de Perales
but that considered Banos as secure as an
pears by the extract of my letter, which
inclose. On the 30th, intelligence was re-
ceived at Talavera, that twelye thousand ra
tions had been ordered at Puente Duenos for
the 2Sth, and twenty four thousand at Los
Santos tor the same day, for French corps.
which 1t was believed was OH its march to-
wards the Puerto de Banos Gen Cuesta
expressed some anxiety respecting this post,
and sent me a message. to propose that Sir
wilson should be sent there with his
corps.
Sir Robert was on that day at TaIayera

be sent TO BANGS without loss of time.
could not prevail with Gen. Cuesta, although
he certainly admitted the necessity of a re-
enforcement when he proposed that Sir Ro
bert should be sent to Banos and he was
equally sensible with myself, of the benefit
TO be derived to the cause, from sending Sir
Robert back to Escalons. Atthi time we
nad no further intelligence of the enemy's
ADVANCE IMAM that the rations we're ordered !;
and had hopes that the enemy might be
deferred from advancing, by he intelligence
OF our successes on the 28th, and that the
troops IN the Puerto might make some de
fence: And that under these q circumstance
u was not desirable to divert Dir Robert
Wilson from Estaios4.
