The enemy made a fortic On the night of the 20th, upon the troops of General Hamilton's divifion ^ which mvcftcdtheplaceon the right of the Guadiana, but were imme¬ diately driven in with lofs. We loll no men on this occaiion. The movements of Lieut. Gen. BirT. Graham and of Lieut. Gen. Sir R.

This breach was cffeclcd in the evening of the Oth, and the lire ol the face of the baftion of Santa Ma¬ ria and of the flank of the baftion La Trinidad being overcome, I de¬ termined to attack the place that night. 1 had kept in rcferve, in the neighborhood of this camp, the 5th divifion, under Lieut. Gen. Leith, which had left Caltile only in the middle of March, and had but late¬ ly arrived in this part of the coun¬ try, and I brought them up on that evening. The plan for the attack was, that Lieut. Gen. Piclon Ihould attack the cafde of Badajoz, by efcalade, with the 3d divilion ; and a de¬ tachment from the guard in the trenches, furnifhed that evening by the 4th divifion, under Major Wi fon, of the 48th regiment, mould, attack the ravelin of St. Ror[ueupon the left; while the 4th divilion, under the Hon. Ma¬ jor Gen. Calvillc ; and the light divifion, under Lieut. Col. Bar¬ nard, fhould attack the breaches in the baftion* of La Trinidad and of Santa Maria, and in the curtain by which thev are connected.

Walk¬ er, which he was to turn into a re¬ al attack, if circumitances Ihould prove favorable ; and £$rig. Gen. Powcf, who Irrvefted the place with h.i'i Fbrtuguefc: brigade on the right of the Guadiana was directed to ni^kc rile attacks on the tctc du pont? the fort St. Chril'loval, and the new redoubt called Mori Cccur. The attack was accordingly made at to at night. Lieut. Gen. Picton plTcedin?;, by a few min¬ utes, the attack by the remainder of the troops. Major Gen. Kempt led this at¬ tack, which went out from the right of the ift parallel; he was unfortunately wounded in crof- fiitg the rivei Rivcl»tH, l>«ln\\ the inundation ; but notwitli^anding tliis circumflancc and the obi'ti- nate reliilancc of the enemy, the caille was carried by efcalade, and the 3d divilion eftablilhed in it, at about hair pail: eleven. While this was c:oimr on, Mai. Wilfon, of the 48th regiment car¬ ried the ravelin of St. Roque by the gorge, with a detachment of 200 men of the guard inthetrench- cs,and with the afiiilancc of Maj. Squire, of the Engineers, cftabliih- cJ himfclf within that work. The 4th and light diviiions mo¬ ved to the attack from the camp alono- the left of the river Rivelas and of the inundation. They were not perceived by the enemy 'till they reached the covered way, and the advanced iruards of the two divifions defcended, without diJhcuky into the ditch protected by the fire of the parties ilationed on the glacis for that purpoie ; and they advanced to the allault of the breaches led by their gallant officers with the utmolt intrepidi¬ ty ; but luch was the nature of the obilacles prepared by the enc- mv at the top and behind the brea- ches and fo determined the refiir- ancc, that our troops could not ef- tablifll thcmfelvcs within the place. Many brave officers and foldicrs were killed or wounded by explc- fions at the top of the breaches ; others who iucccedcd to them were obliged to give way, having found it impofiible tojjenetrate the obilacles which the enemy had pre¬ pared to impede their progrefs. Thefc attempts were repeated 'till after 12 at night, when linding that fuccefs was not to be attained, and Lieut. General Piclon was ef¬ tablilhed in the Cafde, I ordered that the 4th and light diviiions might retire to the ground on which they had firit afiembled for the attack. In the mean time, Major Gene¬ ral Leith had pulhed forward Ma¬ jor Gen. Walker's brigade on the left, fupportcd by the 33d regim¬ ent, under Lieut, ('.ol. Nugent, & the .15th Portuguese regiment, un¬ der Lieut. Col. l)e Rcgoa ; and he had made a falfe attack upon the Pardeleras, with the8th Cacadores. under Major Hill. Major General Walkci forced the barrier on the road of Olivcnca, and entered the covered wav on the left ot the bal- lion of St. Vineente, cloic to the Guadiana. He there delccnded Into the ditch, and eiealaded the face of the baft ion of St. Vinccnle. Lieut. Gen.
