bad been suffered to cross the Ebro, without oppo-

to approach, withiu musket-shot, to the part which
they supposed to be sold to them, and even there
the gun only loaded with powder was fired, in order
to confirm them iu their supposition, that they might
approach without any apprehension of danger. But
alien they were per featly. within the range of the
above battery, the five pieces of cannon, loaded
with grape-shot, opened on them a most tremendous

the enemy's troops; at the wine time the Arrago-

among them consternation and dismay, and put

tbt.us completely to the rout; this success did

compelled them to make a prreiiiitate retreat.--
Thus, the attempt of our ferocious enemy to re-
duce the capital of Arragion has again failed of
success, uor will they ever be able to attain that
aim. Palafos commands here—he coinmands
Arragunese ; the enemy will never aueceed.--
