allotted TO the army of the North, aud Gen
erai Cafarclli, who had been here on the
nth, had placed in the castle garrison OF
the troops of that army, consisting, as is re-
ported, OF two Thousand five hundred men.
The enemy had taken considerable pains
to fortiiy the castle of Burgos, and had oc-
cuPied with a teamwork the hill of ST. Mi
chaePs which has considerable command
over some of the works of the castle, at the
distance of 500 yards.
They had likewise occupied other parts
OF thar hill with feches and other works for
the protection OF their pickets and out
posts.
AS soon as the 1st division crossed the
Arlanzon on the 10Th, the enemy's outposts
were driven in by the light infantry battal,-
on OF Colonel Sterling's brigade, under the
command of the Honorable Major Cocks,
SUPPORTED by Brigadier General PACK bril-
gade, and the eneiny's outworks ON the hill
or St. Michael's with the exception of the
n0rnwork, were occupied by our troops,
which were posted close TO the horHwork.
AS soon as it was dark, the same troops,
with the addition of the 42d regiment, at
tackled and carried by assault the homework
which the enemy had occupied in strength.
In this operation Brigadicr- General Pack,
Lieutenant Colonel Hill Of the LIST Portu-
guese regiment Colonel Campbell of the
! 10th, Maj. Williams of the 18th Cacadores,
Maj. Dick of the 42d regiment, and the hon
orable Maj. Cocks of the 10Th regiment,
commanding the light infantry battalion,
distinguished themselves; the latter, in
particular, led the attack of the enemy's
posts IN the morning, and entered the horn
work by Its gorge at night. We took three
pieces OF Cannon and one captain, and sixty
~ two prisoners ;but am sorry to add that
our own loss was severe, as appears by the
inclosed return.
1t was impossible to ascertain the exact
state OF the works of the Castle of Burgos,
till we had obtained possession of the hill of
St. Michael's.
Since the 10Th. we have been employed
IN establishing ourselves on the hill of St
Michaeis, and in constructing those works
which are best calculated to forward our flu
ture operations.
