In the battle of Thoulouse there was little employment for the cavalry , and we proceed to close the account of their actions in the Peninsula , by noticing the inconsiderable but very gallant affair in which Major Bridger , with a squadron of the 12th Light Dragoons , having fallen in with a strong picket of French infantry , not only threw them into complete disorder by his resolute charge , but contriving to prevent the of the detachment , marched the whole of them prisoners escape of any into the British lines .
