Dispatches from the War Office on the San Sebastian siege
A long dispatch reports Allied actions in Spain including the attacks on San Sebastian, the Army of Spain under Soult, and the subsequent retreat to Elizondo. It praises British and Portuguese regiments, notes key commanders such as Dalhousie Picton Cole and Pringle, and details losses, maneuvers, and logistics across July 25 to 29. Wellington commends officers and troops and transmits the report via the Hereditary Prince of Orange.
