The FOURTEENTH were in flat-bottomed boats, pulled by the Lascars of the Indiamen in which they had been conveyed. The impetuosity of the men could not bear delay ; but, leaping out of the boats, and wading ashore, they soon drove the enemy from their position, at the point of the bayonet. Lieutenant- Colonel Burnett was ordered to pursue, with all pos- sible speed, to endeavour to get possession of the bridge which led over the river between the town and the beach. So closely were the enemy pu...rsued by the FOURTEENTH, and particularly by the Light Company. , that many threw away their arms and accoutrements, and fairly ran for it: they succeeded in gaining the bridge; and, as soon as the men of the FOURTEENTH approached the tete-de-pont, the Spaniards blew up the bridge at the moment when many of their own people were crossing it. The destruction of the bridge obliged the Commander-in-Chief, Sir Ralph Abercromby, to change his plan, which had, originally, been to take the town by a coup-de-main.
