MOST EXCELLENT SIR, Major general Cote formed a jundlion with major general Nightingale in Efpinhal, in the eve nng of the 14th tuft, : this move¬ ment, by which the river Efa was pafled, enabled us to turn the ltrong po(t of Miran¬ da de Corvo, and induced the enemy to a- baodon it th3C night. They deftroyed in that place a gieai quantity'of caitsand wag¬ gons ; they hid and rendered nftlefs the am- - munition that they had ; they did the fame with a great part of their baggage, leaving the road from Miranda ftrewed with dead men and animals, as Well as with baggage and waggons rendered nnfcrviccable. We yeilerday again found the enen'.y^ ar¬ my completely farmed in a very it range po¬ rtion upon the rivtr Ceira, having a corps of the van oppoiiie Foz de Aronce on this fide of the liver. j i.iticv.ii!..1^.1 v itt.».iu tin. ».,...» n*rtt^- iiifowfi- t\>n8 >n ordei to drive b ck their van, piepar- ntovy to the movement1;which might he jud¬ ged ncccfTary f»r tin* purpofe of palling the pver Ceiia thi-* morning. liiijr gen. Pack had in the morning been deUched with 'he brigade aerpfs the moun¬ tains, and on the !eit lide, not only for the ntlrpofe of turning ihe enemy in their pofitioa <if Miianda de Cotvo, but alfo with the view ofdoiug the tame in any others ihat the en¬ emy might take on this, fide of the Ccira.— Th* dhifio.n of light troops^commanded by major gen. fir W. Erfkinc had been ftmt to take poifffion of fume heights (ituatcd im¬ mediately above the Foz de Aronce, while the divifion of major gen. PiSon proceeded along the loyal io:id for the purpofe of at¬ tacking the left of the pofnion in the place and out of it. The 6th divifion commanded by major gen. Campbell, the regiment of buffers, and thai of dragoon*, N°. 16, fup- ported the light divifion, the 14th regiment the ill divifion, & the royal dragoons the 3d. Thele movements had the cffeA of forcing the enemy to abandon their ftrong pofition on this tide of ihe Ceira with a ve«y confid- trab'e lofs. The colonel of the enemy's re¬ giment N°-. 39, was taken prifoner. The light troops of gen. Pifton'a divifion, ' commanded by col. Williams,and the brigade of gen, Nightingale, hal the principal (hare in the right, and the regiment, N°. 95, in frnt of the %Ut divifion, all whi< h troops exhibited the utmoft bravery. The flying artillery commanded by captains Rofs and Bull, alfo d.flinguiflied themfelves. Our troops took a confiderable quantity of baggage, and f-veral waggons of ammunition i.i Foz de Aronce. I was prevented from putting the army in motion, in confluence of a thick fog,which laited until very late in the mornmg, and it was dark when we took poffeffion of the lait pofition of the enemy's van. During the night the enemy deftroyed the bridge of the river Ceira, and retreated leav¬ ing a fmall guard beyond that river. The diflruaion of the bridge of Foz dc Armce, and the fatigue which the troops had fuffered on the preceding days, with ths want of provisions, have induced me not to march the army any further this day. Since 1 fent to your excellency my former defpatch, dated on the 14th infant, I have learned more particulars relative to the fur- fendw of Badajoz. It appears that the ene¬ my had on the r>»h made a breach in that place, which was near 18 feet long, but was I)* no means practicable. On the fame day the governor acknowl¬ edged the fignal,& recetptofthe meflage that I had feat to him, on the 10th he feJfttUd hnftflhte** htwl on the nth he furrciulercd the ph.ee, the garrifon remaining- prifoners of war, and marching out with the honor! of war to the number of 9000 men, while the enemy's army amounted only to 9600 in¬ fantry, & 2000 cavlry. The garrifon w;»s in no want of either provifions o: ammunition. In Uly letter of the 6th mil. I requeued the governor of Elvas to urge the governor of Badajoz to be fihnt relative to Maflcna'» re¬ treat, in order to ptevent its coming to the knowledge of the enemy by means of dokrU ers,as I expeend to find him ftifl in tru- vi¬ cinity of Badajoz ; but he divulged the in¬ formation as ioon as he received it, faying at the fame time that he did not believe it. He alfo communicated if to the French general. As foon as lie da; oz fm rendered, the ene¬ my directed their operations againlt Campo Major, in which direction they have moved.

To thele recollections every Briton turns back with exultation. They diffipate the gloom which has fo long hung over the deilinies of Europe ; and, if fol¬ lowed with courage and wifdom, inflead of proving only a brilliant and traniient meteor flitting through the darknefs of the horizon, like the ruddy ftreaks on the ealt, they will harbinger a day of comfort and deliverance. It greatly adds to the value of thefe ex¬ ploits, and to the pleafure of reviewing them, that with the exception of the battle of Bar* rofa, they have been achieved with a lofs af- tonifhingly trifling Our laurels are fcarce- ly tinged with blood.

Fewer than 400 men defended Anholt a gain ft 4000 Danes, and captured more than their own number in prifoners, with the lofs of but two men killed and thirty wounded. And, Maf- fena, after wafting his aimy by fuknefs and want, has been forced to a retreat as deft mo¬ tive as a general battle, by an army which never moved out of its pofition. The effec¬ tive ftrength of the Britifh force baa thus been preferved. It has infli&ed lofles with¬ out feeling them, and remains adequate to puifue the career of vidtory which has bcea fo gloiioufly opened. previous to thnr adjo'irnnv»t.
