pulsed with loss ; and the general, 

 and the officers and troops, have, 

 on every occasion, conducted theni- 

 . selves well. Don Carlos D'Espana 

 'was severely wounded on the 10th 

 of Septemher, as reported in my 

 •dispatch of the 19th of that month : 

 but having reported that he was 

 able to continue to perform his 

 duty, I considered it but justice to 

 allow him to continue in a com- 

 mand of which he had to that mo- 

 ment performed the duties in so 

 satisfactory a manner ; and I am 

 happy that it has fallen to his lot 

 to be the instrument of restoring 

 to the Spanish monarchy so im- 

 portant a fortress as Pamplona. 



Not having yet received the 

 details of the terms of capitulation, 

 I must delay to forward them till 

 the next occasion.

■ MostExcellentSir; — Glorybe to 

 God, and honour to the triumphs 

 of your excellency in this ever- 

 memorable campaign. 



I have the honour and the great 

 satisfaction of congratulating your 

 excellency on the surrender of the 

 important fortress of Pamplona, 

 the capitulation of which having 

 been signed by the superior offi- 

 cers intrusted with mj' powers, and 

 by those delegated by the general 

 commanding the place, I have, by 

 virtue of the authority which you 

 conferred upon me, just ratified. 

 The garrison remain prisoners of 

 war, as your excellency had de- 

 termined from the beginning that 

 they should, and will march out 

 to-morrow at two in the after- 

 noon, in order to be conducted to 

 the port of Passages. 



Our troops occupy one of the 



gates of the citadel, and those of 

 France the place. 



May God guard the precious life 

 of your excellency. 



Dated from the camp in front of 

 Pamplona, 31st Oct. 1813. 

 (Signed) Carlos Espana. 

 His Excellency Field Marshal the 

 duke of Ciudad Rodrigo.

 Luz, and on the left of the Nivelle,

 in the Sarre, and on the heights 

 behind the village, and their left 

 consisting of two divisions of in- 

 fantry, under the comte d'Erlon, 

 on the right of that river, on a 

 strong height in the rear of An- 

 houe, and on the mountain of 

 Mondarin, which protected the ap- 

 proach to that village ; they had 

 had one division under general Foy, 

 St. Jean Pied de Port, which was 

 joined .by one of the army of 

 Arragon, under general Paris, at 

 the time the left of the allied army 

 crossed the Bidasspa on the 7tii of 

 October ; general Foy's division 

 joined those on the heights behind 

 Auhoue, when lieutenant-general 

 sir Rowland Hill moved into the 

 valley of Bastan.

 the natural strength of this posi-
