Upon this we proceeded at full gallop to the ford at St. Martha ; on our arrival there we met BEAN'S troop of horse artillery and PANE'S • ca 'valry, and immediately pursued : in about half an hour we came up with and charged him, killed 130, and took 150 ['tisane's, who marched in here last night ; the miinber• of wounded left in the colleges is considerable. The (,ieneral's coach, full of baggage, fell into our hands. • The enemy left this with about 3500 infantry and 600 cavalry. Our loss is inconceivably small, considering that we receivedseveral vollies, being only two men, and five horses wounded. EXTRACT OF AN OVFICIAL DISPATCH PROM 31141.1.

The same accounts add, that all the troops have left Senabria, except one battalion which will im ntediutely take the same road.. Their direction appears to be to the Ilatteza, to join the army under General Gtitort, who on the 29th ult. made a general movement, in order promptly to take a position on the bank of the Orbigo, where the advanced guards have already.arrived. In Leon are the Generals SALAZAR and:Kits:so, with 800 infantry and 700 cavalry. Mayorgo, Castro Gonzalo, and Nraldiras are the enemy, and ‘1 ith respectable forces to.obServe our troops.
