ness to take with him, he can only offer the
consolation Of soldier, that of rejecting on
the serious and important charge committed
tothem in the protection of this valuable
part Of his majesty's dominions; and the
security of which he has no doubt of being
fully insured as far as exertion and the most
exemplary conduct can avail. The major
general noticed with great pleasure the anx-
iety of many individuals to proceed with
the expedition, at the same time he felt the
most severe reluctance at not having 1t IN
his power to comply with their wishes and
his own inclination.
"The alacrity evinced by all the depart
ments, and every officer, non.commissioned
officer, and soldiers in expediting the en-
barkation, affords pleasing presage of what
may be expected from their Judgment and
ardor
"The French general has declared that
I" he was determined to defend his post TO
the last extremity !; and the troops under his
command partaking of his sentiments, he
depended too much upon their bravery and
attachment to doubt of success" The ma
jor general commanding thinks it perfectly
sufficient to make this known to.those who
serve good king and a just cause, and to
bear in their recollection the illustrous Nell
sons communication to the navy" England
expects every man to do his duty."

Ten thousand Spaniards were sabred

as well as they could. All the artillery,
twenty five pieces, 6 standards, have fallen
into our hands between 10 and 1900

The greater part OF the staff of Cuesta, and
the superior officers, fell in this action the

:" The army of Cuesta and part Of that of
Andaiusia, are annlhilated by this event.

have fought under him.
Our loss, compared with that of the enc
