General Drouet had for three days
been in motion, it does not appear
that his movements were OF any I'M
portance. 1o,
Ihaye received a dispatch, dated
on the 18th inst. at Cuellar' from
Major General Clinton, by when
he informs me that a detachment ol
the army styled the army Of portu-
cal had made movement from tne
neighborhood of Burgos in the d.
recfion Of Valladolid, but / suppose
that the movement was made only
with the view Of obtaining some pro-
visions. / enclose to your excellen-
CIV his lists of the killed. and missing
in the battle of the nth inst. at Ma
iaIakonda, and of our loss in the
attack upon the works of the Retro.
