| Goulas’s Brigade (three batts.) | 2,574 |
| Nicolas’s Brigade (four batts.) | 2,891 |
| Two Italian battalions | 1,300 |
| 3rd Provisional Cuirassiers | 409 |
| 2nd Neapolitan Chasseurs | 388 |
| Artillery | 250 |
| 7,812 |
But as the Italians, Goulas, and the cuirassiers had all been engaged several times, and had suffered serious losses, we must deduct 800 men at least, in order to get the figures of July 17. Foy gives only 6,000.
[313] Not on the twenty-fifth, as Napier says (i. 83), following apparently the dates given by Cabanes. I have followed Arteche here, as his search into times and seasons seems more careful than that of any other authority.

[316] For a good narrative of these operations see Lord Cochrane’s autobiography, i. 262-5.
[317] It is very odd, as Arteche remarks (ii. 611), that none of the contemporary Spanish narratives mention the name of Bolivar. They only speak of La Valeta and O’Donovan as heading the defence.
[318] The Barcelona Volunteers under La Valeta led; the Ultonia, under Major Henry O’Donnell, supported.
