My Lorpv,—I have the honour to transmit 
to your lordship, the return of the killed and 
wounded in the actionof the 5th instant, and 
I have the satisfaction to add, that the 
wounded in general are dvinz walt 
By the best account that can be collected 
from the wounded French officers, the enemy 
had about 8000 men engaged. Their loss by 
reports from Chiclana, in killed, wounded, 
and prisoners, is supposed toamount to 5000 ; 
I have no doubt of its being very great. 
_T transmit too a return of the ordnance in 
our possession, and ajso the most accurate 
note that can be obtained of prisoners, most of 
whom are wounded. They are so dispersed 
tn different hospitals, that an exact return has 
not been obtained. 
. Ihave the honour to be, &c.

have been daily employed in carrying off the

the enemy’s wounded that could be found, 
among the brushwood and heath were brought 
in.
