Windsor-Castle, Sept. 22. This day Captain Singleton
arrived here from Portugal, with the following letter from
the Marshal Count de la Lippe, to the Earl of Egremont.
My Lord, I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship, that
having detached Brigadier General Burgoyne with his regiment
and 17 companies of Grenadiers, to make an attack upon
Valencia d'Alcantara. . . [21 lines describing success of
the action.]
The loss of the British troops, who had the principal
share in this affair, is luckily but inconsiderable; and
consists in Lieutenant Burk, of Colonel Frederick's, one
serjeant, and three private, killed; two serjeants, one
drummer, and 18 private wounded; ten horses killed.
