N.B.—The force of the two flying columns of Col. Cruz-Murgeon and the Conde de Valdecañas is not ascertainable. They were both composed of new levies: Arteche puts the former at 2,000 foot, and the latter at 1,800 foot and 400 horse. Other authorities give Cruz-Murgeon 3,000 men.
It should be noted that Castaños’ field-army does not comprise the whole number of men under arms in Andalusia. Most of the regular regiments had left behind their third battalion, which was being completed with recruits, and was not fit to take the field. Of all the regiments only Burgos, Irlanda, and Ordenes Militares seem to have gone forward three battalions strong.
2. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE FRENCH GENERALS.
(a.) GENERAL DUPONT TO GENERAL VEDEL.
Je vous prie, mon cher général, de vous porter le plus rapidement possible sur Baylen, pour y faire votre jonction avec le corps qui a combattu aujourd’hui à Mengibar et qui s’est replié sur cette ville. Le sixième régiment provisoire et deux escadrons, l’un de dragons et l’autre de chasseurs, sont réunis à votre division.
J’espère que l’ennemi sera rejeté demain sur Mengibar, au delà du fleuve, et que les postes de Guarraman et de la Caroline resteront en sûreté; ils sont d’une grande importance.
Lorsque vous aurez obtenu ce succès, je désire que vous réunissiez à Andujar une partie de vos forces, afin de combattre l’ennemi qui se trouve devant nous. Vous ne laisserez à Baylen que ce qui sera nécessaire pour sa défense.
Si l’ennemi occupe Baëza, il faut l’en chasser.
