Mr.. Charles Myers, Hamstead-Hill, near

inGisposed, and was reduced TO the lowest
stare Of weakness, insomuch that his recovery
apDeared extremely doubtful. His complaints
which seemed to be affections OF tire breast
and lungs, and general debility occaslohed
thereby, yielded little, bat rather progressed
snder the treatment Of several eminent phy-
sicians; when by the use Of HanlitoE,s L

Of the English, who were upon the heights of
sisting of 5000 infantry and GOO cavalry

dispositions. The infantry advanced, beat
the charge, and the English were entirely
routed. The difficulty OF the ground did not
permit the cavalry to charge, and only 200
prisoners were taken. We had some fifty
men killed or wounded. General Colbert ad-

the post of Piedra Fella. He there took
$500 English prisoners, five pieces of cannon,
and several caissons. The enemy was OBJ
lIged to destroy quantity of baggage and
stores. The precipices were filed with
them. Such was their precipitate fight and
confusion, that they left behind them in their
carriages quantity of gold and silver. The
property that has fallen into our hands, is
estimated at two millions of livres.

torga, is covered with dead herscs belonging
60 the English. with travelling carriages,
artillery. caisons and warlike stores. There
were found at Astorga, magazines Of sheets,
blankets aud the tools and implements of
pioneers. As to Romana's army, it is redu.
ced almostto nothing. The small number
that remain, are without coats, shoes, pay.
food, and it is no longer to be considered any
thing. The Emperor has charged the duke
OF Dalmatia with the glorious mission of pur.
suing the English to the place of their de.
barkation, and of driving them into the sea,
at the point of the sword. The English will
learn what it is to make an inconsiderate
movement in presence of the French army.
The manner in which they have been dri-
ven from the Kingdoms of Leon and Gallcia,
and the destruction of part of their army,
will, no doubt, teach them to be more cir
