About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1838. Excerpt: ... To Charles Stuart, Esq. 'My Dear Sir, Elvas, 20th May, 1811. 'I enclose the copy of a memorandum which has been put into my hands by Major Dickson, of the artillery, regarding the march of certain guns demanded for the service of this garrison from Lisbon. I trust that the movement of these guns has not been suspended, as their early arrival is very important; and I shall be obliged to you if you will make inquiry upon this subject. I am not able to give you any details upon the battle of the 16th, as I have not seen or heard from the Marshal. Our loss is very large; but we must expect loss whenever we engage the British troops with the Spaniards as allies. 'The Spaniards, by all accounts, behaved remarkably well; but they were immoveable; and their want of discipline, and of the power of manoeuvring, appears to me to have created a necessity for using the British infantry in all parts of the field, and to have thrown upon us the great burden of the battle. This was exactly the case in the battle of Talavera; and, only that the Spanish troops were more distant from the fire, 1 suspect it was the case at the battle of Barrosa. 'I have received your letter of the 17th, and return the newspapers. 'Believe me, &c. C. Stuart, Esq. 'WELLINGTON. 'P. S. I think it very desirable that, if possible, no flying details of the battle of Albuera should go home till Sir William Beresford's report shall be sent. I conclude that the account that there had been a battle went by the mail yesterday, which is of no importance; but where there are many killed and wounded the first reports are not favorable; and it is not doing justice to the Marshal to allow them to circulate without his. 'W.' To Lieut. General Sir Brent Spencer, K.B. My Dear Spencer, 'Elvas, 22d May, 1811...
