Journal sent by General Francisco Copons y Navia to the first Duke of Wellington, detailing the operations undertaken by the Spanish First Army under his command, from 2 June 1813 to 20 June 1813, in relation to those of General Sir John Murray, who landed with a British force at Salou in Catalonia on 3 June and laid siege to Tarragona. Murray was obliged to re-embark on 12 June and was later court-martialled for unnecessarily abandoning all war material and munitions. He was exonerated in 1815. The journal, in two volumes, is accompanied by a letter of 21 June 1813, from Headquarters at Valls, to Wellington.
