French Attack on Corunna Reported in 1809 Dispatches
Letters from Plymouth and Corunna recount French forces 8,000 strong attacking Corunna on the 14th and 16th. Sir Robert Wilson and Colonel Light wounded. Spanish troops under Quiroga retreated to fortifications. Conflicting accounts from passengers aboard the Argenta and Augusta note varied casualty estimates and uncertain outcomes. The reports also mention French occupation claims near Ferrol and Caranta, with skepticism about a clear French victory at Corunna.
