234 ANNUAL REGISTER, 1812. 



Scovell of the former; and to 

 Lieut.-Colonel Waters, at present 

 at the head of the adjutant-ge- 

 neral's department, and to the offi- 

 cers of that department, as well at 

 head-quarters as with the several 

 divisions of the army ; and Lieut.- 

 Colonel lord Fitzroy Somerset, 

 and the officers of my personal 

 staff. Among the latter I particu- 

 larly request your lordship to draw 

 the attention of his Royal Highness 

 the Prince Regent to his Serene 

 Highness the Hereditary Prince of 

 Orange, whose conduct in the 

 field, as well as upon every other 

 occasion, entitles him to my highest 

 commendation, and has acquired 

 for him the respect and regard of 

 the whole army. 



I have had every reason to be 

 satisfied with the conduct of the 

 Mariscal del Campo Don Carlos 

 d'Espagna, and of Brigadier Don 

 Julian Sanchez, and with that of 

 the troops under their command 

 respectively ; and with that of the 

 Mariscal del Campo Don Miguel 

 Alava, and of Brigadier Don 

 Joseph O'Lawler, employed with 

 this army by the Spanish govern- 

 ment, from whom, and from the 

 Spanish authorities, and people in 

 general, I received every assistance 

 I could expect. 



It is but justice likewise to draw 

 your lordship's attention, upon this 

 occasion, to the merits of the offi- 

 cers of the civil departments of the 

 army. Notwithstanding the in- 

 creased distance of our operations 

 from our magazines, and that the 

 country is completely exhausted, 

 we have hitherto wanted nothing, 

 owing to the diligence and atten- 

 tion of commissary-general, Mr. 

 Bisset, and the officers of the de- 

 partment under his direction. 



I have likewise to mention that 

 by the attention and ability of 

 Doctor Mac Gregor, and of the 

 officers of the department under his 

 charge, our wounded as well as those 

 of the enemy left in our hands have 

 been well taken care of; and I 

 hope that many of these valuable 

 men will be saved to the service. 



Captain Lord Clinton will have 

 the honour of laying at the feet of 

 his Royal Highness the Prince Re- 

 gent, the Eagles and colours taken 

 from the enemy in this action. 



I inclose a return of the killed 

 and wounded.

Madrid, August 13.

 a state not likely to take the field 

 again for some time, I determined
