GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, DEC. 3.

Downing-street, Dec. 3, 1810. A dispatch, of which the following is an extract, has been this day received at Lord Liverpool's office, addressed to his Lordship by Lieut. general Viscount Wellington, dated Cartaxo, 21st November, 1810:

THE
HE enemy retired from the posi-
tion which they had held for the
last month, with their right at So-
bral, and their left resting upon the
Tagus, in the night of the 14th in-
stant; and went by the road of Alen-
quer towards Alcoentre with their
right, and Villa Nova with their left.
They continued their retreat towards
Santarein on the following days.

The allied army broke up from their position on the morning of the 15th instant, and followed the march of the enemy; and the advanced guard was at Alenquer on the 15th, and the British cavalry and advanced guard at Azambuga and Alcoentre on the 16th, and at this place on the 17th.

In these movements they made about foar hundred prisoners.

These troops have been followed on their march by Sir Brent Spencer's division, and the 5th division of infantry under Major-general Leith.

On the 17th I received accounts from Major-Geenral Fane, from the left of the Tagus, that the enemy had consructed another bridge on the Zezere, that which had been first thrown over that river having been carried away by the floods; and that they had on

that day marched a large body of der his command; he still continues troops from Santarem towards Go- with us, aud I receive from him legno, and I immediately passed Lieut- much valuable advice and assistance. general Hill's corps across the Tagus at Valada, in boats, which Admiral Berkeley had been so kind as to send up the river to aid and facilitate the operations of the army.

Having advanced from the positions in which I was enabled to bring the enemy to a stand, and to oblige them to retire without venturing upon any attack, it is but justice to Lieutenantcolonel Fletcher, and the officers of the Royal Engineers, to draw your Lordship's attention to the ability and diligence with which they have executed the works by which these positions have been strengthened to such a degree, as to render any attack upon that line occupied by the allied army very doubtful, if not entirely hopeless. We are indebted for these advantages to Lieut-colonel Fletcher and the Officers of the Roval Engincers; among whom I must particuJarly mention Captain Chapman, who has given me great assistance upon various occasions.

Throughout the period during which we occupied those positions, every thing went on with the utmost regularity and to my satisfaction, notwithstanding that the force was com posed of troops of various descriptions, and of different nations; and I attribute these advantages entirely to the zeal for the cause in which we are engaged, and the conciliating dispo sition of the Chiefs and General Of ficers of the armies of the different nations; and I have no doubt that the same cordiality will prevail as long as it may be expedient that the armies should continue united.

Lieutenant-general Sir Brent Spencer, and Marshal Sir William Carr Beresford, and the officers of the General Staff of the Army, have continued to give me every assistance in their power.

In my dispatch of the 20th of Oc tober, I informed your Lordship, that the Marquis de la Romana had joined the allied army in their positions in front of Lisbon, with a considerable detachment of the Spanish army un

sor, had not heard of the death of Lord Dartmouth. On the event being officially made known, Lord John Thynne, the Vice-Chancellor, began to act. Lord Dartmouth was called up as a Baron to the House of Peers in 1801, during the life-time of his father, and appointed President of the Board of Controul in the same year. In 1803, Le succeeded his fa

ther in his titles. He was Lord Cham- but had immediate relief. After his berlain to his Majesty, and a Knight return to Brandon House, he was of the Garter; was educated at Ox- again seized with a violent hemor ford, and obtained the degree of M. A. rhage, which terminated his existence in 1775. In 1774, he was returned for in five days. the Borough of Plymouth: and, in 1780, for Staffordshire; and, two years after, was appointed one of the Lords of the Bedchamber to the Prince of Wales: and, in 1789, Lord Warden of the Stannaries. In 1783, he was nominated one of the Commissioners of Mr. Fox's new Board of the Admiralty, who were to be assisted by a subordinate Board of nine Directors. In the summer of 1807, he resigned the Colonelcy of the Loyal Birming

ham Volunteers, on account of ill health. While meniber for Stafford, he supported the Coalition Admini. stration, and voted for Mr. Fox's India Bill. His Lordship was a man of the mildest and most amiable manners. He married Frances, sister of the Earl of Aylesford, by whom he had a numerous family. He is succeeded by his eldest son William, born 1784. His remains were interred in the family vault in Trinity Church, Minories, The following lines were written upon him by the late Earl of Carlisle when they were boys at Eton School.

"Mild as the dew that whitens yonder plain,

He at first suffered much thro' poverty and want of employment, from which state he was at length relieved by Lord Barrington, whose Portrait he painted. Shortly after his situation began to mend, he visited his Majesty to the Grand Duke of Italy, with recommendations from Tuscany, and while at Florence, be painted his celebrated picture of the Florence gallery. He afterwards returned to England, which he again left to visit India, where he met with great encouragement; but of late he that of truth of expression, a fine deep had lived in privacy. His style is tone of colour, aud high finishing in the detail. His principal works are portraits of dramatic performers of &c. with a picture embracing por Garrick's time; viz. King, Shuter, traits of all the members of the Royal Academy, and a similar one of the Royal family.
