Lost Peninsular War unit

Hi all, Can anyone tell me which division the British 2nd battalion, 58th regt was with in 1812, specifically around the time of the siege of Burgos? Oman says that by 1813 they were part of the third provisional battalion along with the 2nd 24th, but my notes don't show anything for 1812. They'd been out in the Peninsula for a few years by that point Any thoughts would be very welcome. Many thanks Z
