London Gazette.-Dispatches from Lord Wellington.

The enemy made a sortie yesterday from the gate called La Trinadad, on the right of our attack, with about two thousand men. They were almost immediately driven in without effecting any object, with considerable loss, by Major-General Bowes, who commanded the guard in the trenches. We lost upon this occasion & yery promising officer, Captain Cuthbert, Aid-de-Camp to Lieutenant-General Picton, killed; and Lieutenant-Colonel Fletcher was slightly wounded, but I hope that he will soon be able to resume his duties. I have not yet got the returns, but 1 believe that our loss, since the commencement of these operatious, amounts to one hundred and twenty men in killed and wounded.

On the same day that Badajoz was invested, Lieutenant General Sir Thomas Graham crossed the Guadiana with the 1st, 6th, and 7th, divisions of infantry, and General Slade's and General Le Marchant's brigades of cavalry, and directed his march upon Valverde aud Santa Martha, and thence towards Llerena; while Lieutenant-General Sir Rowland Hill, with the gd and Lieutenant-General Hamilton's divisions, and Major-General Long's cavalry, marched from his cantonments near Albuquerque upon Merida, and thence upon Almendralejo. These movements induced General Drouet to retire from Villa Franca upon Hornamos, in order, I conclude, to be in communication with General Darican's division, which was about La Serena.

I have heard from Sir Thomas Graham and Sir Rowland Hill to the 19th inst. The former was at Los Santos and Zafra, with General Slade's cavalry at Villa Franca; and the latter at Almendralejo. Lieutenant-General Sir Rowland Hill took three officers and a few hussars prisoners at Merida.

I have reports from the neighbourhood of Ciudad Rodrigo of the 17th instant. The enemy had sent a small detachment to Bejar, principally with a view to plunder; but there was no appearance of any immediate movement. The 6th division had moved from Talavera, through the Puerto del Pico, on the 8th and 9th instant; and the fourth division, on the same days, from Toledo through the Guadarrama; and the first division only remained on the Tagus, near Talavera.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE.

DOWNING STREET, APRIL 14, 1812.

A Dispatch, of which the following is an Extract, has been this day received at the Earl of Liverpool's Office, addressed to his Lordship by General the Earl of Wellington, dated Camp before Badajoz, March 27, 1812.

The operations of the siege of Badajoz have continued since I addressed you on the 20th, notwithstanding the badness of the weather, till the 25th instant. Ón that day we opened our fire from 28 pieces of ordnance in six batteries, in the first parallel; two of which were intended to fire upon the out-work called La Picurina, and the other four to enfilade or destroy the defences of the fort on the side attacked. I directed Major-General Kempt, who commanded in the trenches on that afternoon, to attack La Picurina by storm, after it was dark that night, which service he effected in the most judicious and gallant manner.

The attack was made by 500 men of the 3d division, formed into three detachments; the right under the command of Major Shaw, of the 74th; the centre under the Hon. Captain Powys, of the 83d; and the left under Major Rudd, of the 77th regiment. The communication between the out-work and the body of the place was entered on its right and left by the right and left detachments, each consisting of 200 men; half of each of which detachments protected the attack from sallies from the fort, while others attacked the work in its gorge.

It was first entered, bowever, by the centre detachment of 100 men, under the command of the Hon. Captain Powys, of the 83d regiment, who escaladed the work at the salient angle, at a point at which the pallisades had been injured by our fire. The detachment which attacked the work by the gorge had the most serious difficulties to contend with, as it was closed by not less than three rows of strong pallisades, defended by musketry, and a place of arms for the garrison, musket-proof, and loop-holed throughout. When the attack upon the salient angle, however, succeeded, the whole got into the work.

The enemy's garrison in the out-work consisted of 250 men, with seven pieces of artillery, under the command of Colonel Gaspard Thiery, of the Etat-Major of the Army of the South; but very few, if any, escaped. The Colonel, three other offcers, and 86 men, have been taken prisoners, and the remainder were either killed by the fire of our troops, or drowned in the inundation of the river Rivellas. The enemy made a sortie from the ravelin called St. Roque, either with a view to recover

La Picurina, or to protect the retreat of the garrison, but they were immediately driven in by the detachment stationed in the communication to protect the attack. Major-General Kempt mentions.in high terms, in his report, the cool and persevering gallantry of the officers and troops; of which indeed the strength of the work, which they carried, affords the best proof. He particularly mentions Lieutenant-Colonel Hardinge, of the staff of the Portuguese army, who attended him on this occasion, Captain Bennett, his Aid-de-Camp, and Brigade-Major Wilde, who was unfortunately killed by a cannon-shot after the work was in our possession ; likewise Captain Holloway, Lieutenants Gipps and Stanway, of the Royal Engineers, who conducted the several detachments to the points of attack, and Majors Shaw and Rudd, and the Hon. Captain Powys, who commanded the several detach ments. These three officers were wounded, the latter on the parapet of the work, which he had been the first to mount by ladders.

I have to add to this account the high sense I entertain of the judicious manner and gallantry with which Major-General Kempt carried into execution the service which I had entrusted to him.

We thus established ourselves in La Picurina on the night of the 25th, and opened the second parallel within 300 yards of the body of the place in which twa batteries were commenced last night.

It is impossible that I can do justice to the zeal, activity, and indefatigable labour of the officers and soldiers with which these operations have been carried on in the most unfavourable weather.

The Guadiana swelled so considerably, that, notwithstanding all precautions, our bridge of pontoons was cair.ed away on the 22d instant. and the flying bridges were so much injured, as almost to become useless; but still the operations have been carried on without interruption.

Since I addressed your Lordship on the 20th, General Drouet has had his troops on the line between Medellin on the Guadiana, and Zalamea de la Serena, and Llerena, apparently with the view of keeping the communication open between the Army of the South, and the divisions of the Army of Portugal, stationed on the Tagus.

Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Graham made a movement to Llerena on the 25th at night; but the enemy, consisting of three battalions of infantry and two regiments of cavalry, having heard of his march, retired into the mountains during the night.

Lieutenant-General Sir Rowland Hill has likewise sent a detachment to La Guarena, and proposed to march himself this morning upon Medellin, in order to cooperate with Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Graham-I enclose the return of the killed, wounded, and missing, from the 18th instant.
