: After jthe battle of Albuera,! undertook the siege
of Dadajoz, believing that the means at nay, dis

the end of the second week in June, at which time

. expccieu me rciniorcemenis irom ri.nc li uuiicis
ot Castile, for marshal boult woukl arrive, but in
the. calculation of these means I have been de
ceived.
It was now evident from the report of the engi
neers, and my own observation, that the place
would not be reduced but by. the erection oi works
which would require much time and labour, in
their construction. An' assault upton the works be
fore the town, if it had succeeded, would not have
availed, unless we could obtain possession of Fort
Sti Christopher, ibr want of room to form the
troops, to attack thein trenchments within.
On the mormnff of the 10th I received an inter,
ccpted despatch from the, Duke ofDalmatia (Soult)
ta4he Duke of Ragusa (Marmont) ot which I send
you a copy. This letter clearly shews that the
enemy's design, was to concentrate all his forces
in Lstremadura, and I had reasons to believe that
the corps under rreneral Drouet, which had march
ed from Toledo on the 28th and 29th cn Afay, and
which was expected at Cordova, on the 5th and
6th mstant, .would on the 10th form a junction
with Soult, towards which it was marching ac
cording to all my advices. The movement of
this corps would alone have made it necessary to
have raised the siege of Badaioz. In addition ;
On the same morning I received information from
mind of the destination of the army of Portugrl
( tate Masseiia a j which was rapidly moving south
and was expected to' arrive at Aferida on the 1 5th
jnsian unuer ,au inese circumstances, i ae
termincd to raise the seige. Here Lord Wei
lington notices the conduct of the officers and sol
diers during the seige, and in the assults.
The whole nOmber killed from the commence
ment to the raising the siege 148, wounded 358
rrantlator. .
,1 have not understood that the enemy had mov
cd from his position in Llerena : I suppose the
arrival of the 9th corps had been delayed beyond
what was expected, and it is probable that Soult
will not move from that place, until he is well in
formed of the motions of the army of - Portugal
1 hat army left - Tormcs on the 3d, and its ad

In my letter of the 5tjlt inst. from Villa Form
psa I had fie .honoured inform your. Excellency,
that I had just returned frbm : the heights near
Gahecosu from- whence- t dismvered a bodr nf
the .enemy's troops, Composed tf SOO cavalry and
2 00 infantry, , with artillery entering Ciudad
K odngo, by the road from Salamanca. I request
ed col. Waters toremain on vthe heights" to ob
stirye if any other troops of the. enemy followed,
a nd .from :his information. I have reason to he.
i ucv that another body of infantay,. cavalry,, and
aitillery entered Oadad Rodriga, in the course of

jAccording tb tour Excellency's instructions, as
soon as I beard ,of the,: enemy's movements to-
wards Ci qdad. Kodrigo, , I concentrated the troops
Vnder jny command, and ' made j the necessary
preparations. for a retreat. T he enemy,-as I had
expec ted, Advanced at the brfeak of day in two
colmuns, the one In the direction of Gahegos, and
the other- in that of. Carpio, . and Espeja. The
first iivas a heavy colurnn of cavalry, and infantry,
with some artillery t the second consisted of 6000
infantry at least, but nerhapsv much more, as
from the nature of the ground, the rear guard of
these colomns could not.be perceived, they had
upwards of 2000 Cavalry "and ten pieces of art'dle
fy, which marched through Tthe plain which gave
the enemy's cavalry the advantage I ordered the
light dragoons under brig. gen. Crawford, to re
treat first from Gahegoand Espejai to Naves d'
Aver Observing the rapidity of the, enemy's
fhovementSr I ordered the. lieht division and the
borse artillery, to. fall back tijxjn Alfayates ; the

manner.' -The Royals under Col. Clifton,; and the
