Di: spatch from Lieut. Ga Lord Vis. We! Hingtom 
to the Earl cf Liverpool; dated Ailverca, 11d 
of July, 1810. 
The enemy ‘passed the Agarain force on 
the morning of the 4th inst. = obliged Brig. 
Gen. Crauturd to fail beck with his advanced 
guard to the neighbourhood of the fert of La 
Conception, wivich had been occupied by a 
part of the third division of infantry. In 
making this movement, captain Kravekenburg 
and cornec Cordeman, at the nead of a small} 
body of the ist iiussars, had an oppertunity of 
distinguishing thenis.ives by making a galiant 
charge upon a <:uperio’ body ot the enemy, 
Upon mentioning the 1st hussars, it is but 
justice to imorm~ your lordship, that they 
have been with the advane:d guard through- 
out the winter, and have-performed their duty 
in the moct satisfactory manner. ~The Sd 
battalion of “Portuguese chasseurs, under 
lieutenant-colonel Elder, had also an opporta- 
nity of shewing their steadiness during this 
movement of the advanced guard, and the 
skwmishing of the enemy which attended it. 
The 1st hussars had five men and three horses 
wovaded, and-the 16th light dragoons three 
Horses killed.” .

‘Since T- wrbte’ to your lordship, this day I 
have recefved a report that’ Ciudad Rodrigo 
sutrendered to the. enemy yesterday evening. 
There was a large practicable breach in the 
place, and :-he-enemy had made preparations 
for 4 storm; when marshal Ney having offer- 
ed terms of capitulation, the. garrison surren- 
dered. The enemy took up their ground be- 
fore this place on the 26ch of Apri}; they 
javested it completely on the 1ith Jone, and 
| State of Public A Fairs in August. 
[Sept 
" operied their fire upon it on the 24th Jone; 
and, adverting to the nature and position of 
the split, to the deficiency and defects of its 
works, to the advantages which the enemy. 
had in their agtack upon it, and to the numie 
bers and formisable equipment by which it 
was attacked, 1 consider tne defence of Ciudad 
Redrigo to lee been must honourable to the 
governor, Don Andres Hervasti, and its zarri- | 
son; and to have been equally creditable ta 
the arms of Spain with the ceiebrated defence 
of other places by which this nation has been 
iNustrated during the existing contest for its 
independence. There was an affair between 
our piquets and those of the enemy this morn- 
ing, in which the enemy lost two officers and 
thirty-one men, and twenty-nine hors<s pri« 
soners. We have had the misfortune to lose 
Neutenant-c.lonel Talbot, and eight men of- 
the i4th light dragoons killed, and twenty= 
eight men wounded.
