War dispatch reports Spanish fortress capitulation and British losses
From the London Gazette a dispatch by Field Marshal the Marquis of Wellington notes Zaragoza fortified post capitulated to General Mina. It records 500+ prisoners, 47 cannon, and extensive artillery. Lieutenant General Lord William Bentinck’s forces are near Tarragona with casualty lists and officer names, plus an unrelated naval account of Captain Maples capturing the US sloop Argus after a brief chase and brief exchange of fire.
