French retreat and French advances near the Douro
Dispatches report the enemy evacuating Ciudad Rodrigo and retreating toward the Douro after leaving Madrid and troops along the Tagus. They crossed the Douro by the bridge at Tordesillas and abandoned Valladolid with grain and stores at Arevalo and Zamora. Castilian reports say five artillery pieces shipped from Santona helped breach Castro, enabling an assault and capture before the garrison withdrew to the castle and sailed to Boromoes aboard Lyra Royalist and Sparrow. May God preserve you many years.
