At daylight on the morning of the 21st of June the ROYAL DRAGOONS left their bivouac, and advanced to support the attack of the infantry on the heights in front of _Vittoria_. The face of the ground was so rugged that the operations of the cavalry were impeded, and for some time the services of the ROYALS were limited to supporting the columns of attack: towards the evening they, however, advanced to charge, but the enemy fled in confusion, leaving behind them cannon, ammunition, baggage, and the military chest of the army. The ROYALS moved forward in pursuit, and bivouacked about three miles beyond _Vittoria_: their loss was only one man and two horses killed, and one horse wounded. On this occasion the regiment was commanded by Major Purvis, Lieutenant-Colonel Clifton being in command of the brigade. The ROYALS advanced in pursuit of the enemy on the following morning, and on the 2nd of July they were at Suista and other villages near _Pampeluna_, which place was blockaded by the allied army. They left that quarter, however, on the 18th of July, for Sanguesa, a town of Navarre, on the river Arragon, twenty-five miles from _Pampeluna_. Towards the end of that month the French army advanced to relieve _Pampeluna_, when the ROYALS were immediately ordered to return to the vicinity of that place, and they were formed in column at the foot of the mountains during the battle of the _Pyrenees_. They remained with the blockading force near _Pampeluna_ until the 10th of August, when, forage becoming scarce, they again proceeded to the plains of the Arragon, where they remained, together with General Mina's division of Spaniards, as a corps of reserve and support to the blockade, until after the surrender of that fortress. They were subsequently stationed at Villa Franca during the winter. [Sidenote: 1814] In the mean time the main army had entered France. On the 3rd of February, 1814, the ROYAL DRAGOONS marched to Tauste: from whence they proceeded, in the beginning of March, through the Pyrenean mountains, and entered France on the 9th of that month. For a short period they were stationed near _Bayonne_, which place was blockaded by the allied army; but they subsequently advanced up the country, and on the 10th of April were at the battle of _Toulouse_, when they were employed in covering the light brigade of guns, and in driving the piquets of the enemy under the walls of the city, which was immediately besieged. The French, having retired, the ROYALS were ordered forward to Villa Franche, and afterwards to Gardouch. These brilliant successes of the British troops were followed by the abdication of Buonaparte, and the restoration of peace.
