Extract eta letter, recei0ed by the Oroono-
10, dated Lisbon, Jan. "a, 1912.
The following is copy OF lettc.' from
Cudad Rodrigo, which 1 transmit for your
Information.
CUIDAD RODRIGO, Jan. 90, 1912.
81 have the pleasure to inform you, that
Cuidad Rodrigo was taken by storm at o.
clock last night. There we're two breaches
practicable, one of which was assaulted BY
Gen. Picton's division, and the other by Gen.
Crawford's, whilst Gen. Pack made a false
attack on the other side of the town. There
was very considerable resistance made tn
Gen. Picton, but Gen. Crawford finding the
other breach more practicable, though not so
wide made glorious assault, while the G.
nemy's attention was called off by General
Packs pretended attack, and carried it at
the point of the bayonet. Gen. Crawford *
Gen. Vaadiieur arc wounded. We have not
lost many men. The French Governor of
this place, and the whole of the garrison that
escaped our bayonets, are made prisoners.
This is triumphant close of the campaign.
Marmont is said to be still in motion; but as
soon as he hears of this event, it is expected
he will make ret-ograde movement
Cuidad Rodrigo, is town of Spain in the
province of Leon, situate on the river Aqua
da, 40 miles s. West of Salamanca, and 81
from Almieda. 1t is on the frontiers CT Por-
tugal, about 170 miles from Lisbon, is strong
" fortified, and commands the passes from
Portugal to Estramadurai in Spain.-- The cap
ture of this place is thought tobe ofvery great
Importance, as it was the only fortified place
in that quarter in the hands of the French.
