Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dispatches of Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington, K. G. During His Various Campaigns in India, Denmark, Portugal, Spain, the Low Countries, and France, From to 1818: Compiled From Official and Authentic Documents According to this memorandum, Almeida should not have been abandoned till it was necessary; and yet it appears, by your letter of the 9th instant, to have been so little necessary, that General Pack left in that neighbourhood one regiment of his brigade, which is there still. ´There can be no reason whatever why that regiment should now remain at Almeida. The place, and every thing it contained, are destroyed, and the regiment should be directed to join the brigade; but as I have had a good deal of correspondence with the Government upon the subject of Almeida, and they have taken some pains and incurred some expense in preparing to repair the place, it is desirable that I should have a copy of the orders sent to General Pack, and his official report of the mode in which he executed them; and that the necessity for abandoning and destroying the place should be made clear. Upon this last point, it would be desirable to have in detail the reports of the enemy´s situation on the 6th, 7th, and 8th, and the situation of Barbacena´s cavalry and of our posts. ´I requested Colonel Murray to write to you yesterday respecting the passage of the Tagus by the troops under your command; since which I have received Captain Grants letter of the 7th, from the enclosures in which, it would appear that the passage of the Tagus by the army of Portugal, although a probable operation, is not absolutely decided. I request, therefore, that the following disposition may, for the present, be made of the troops under your command, instead of that directed in Colonel Murray´s letter of yesterday. The Light division, and one brigade of cavalry, at Niza, as therein directed. The 1st division, the right at Villa Velha, the left in the villages between Villa Velha and Castello Branco, and one brigade of cavalry in front of Castello Branco, towards Salvaterra. The 5th division in the cantonments, as directed in Colonel Murray´s letter of yesterday. I have seen Mr. Kennedy regarding your supplies.
