From authentic letters received yesterday
from the army of Estramadura, we learn,
that the battle of Albuera vas great victory,
notwithstanding that it cost us dear; the
French lest from II to 13,0tOmen s. abandon-
ed the field Of battle leaving ON it the killed
and wounded the allies lo$ from TO 5000
men-The three allied nations behaved very
heroicaIy and had an equal share beth in the
glory and i'll the loss, with respect TO the list
of the killed and wounded, aud the other cir
cumstances of this memorable battle, we re-
commend to our readers TO wait for the Off

The Geographic advice Of the 18th differed
little from that of fSth,as is clearly per
ceived in the supplement- % our Gazette, pub
lished the day before yesterday for the first
said, that the enemy had Eaken q new positi-

the armies preserved the same positions thi:
difference, though, is nothing to one who
chooses to reflect, because the enemy, in or
der to attack us, left his position and being
repulsed, re-cccupied the same one, or took
another, which, by the circumstance OF its be-
ing in sight Of olr army, must consequently
be in the ghnorhood--therefore, there i:
not avery material difference betW cen the TIVE
accounts.
The following telegraphic advice has beer
received, dated May 10:
