" After the action of the id. we hove had news
from Item. that the enemy lost 500 ones'. two
Colonels, some other Officers. and • Clement, of
Division wounded; and that they I:ave not dared
to approach the town of Canonic where they paid
for their gasconade. We also know, that in the
►oad of Sitoo they lost their flying-artillery, Coo..
'sibling of 15 light pieces, with the exception of two
12-pounders. and two 0-inch howitzers. to Rem
they demanded a coutribution of 16,000 dollars,
end 600 dollars daily ; but the Ayuntrunienia
having refused to satisfy them, they arrested them
all, sod threatened to send them to Barcelona.
This morainic the division of Illinois entered, con-
sisting of 5,500 infaas►y and SOO cavalry. which es.
II camped in ti.e Olive...grove; but this evening it left
us for Cauunja, which has made every one tranquil.
The great tottl,er of deserters is a •ertons consider-
ation, 411 in all, thi. mouth, their number amounts
to 753: to-day 85, for the most part armed, 50 of
which come from Gerona. The enemy, to impede
so great an evil, have their encamp:ueotssurround-

not put a stop to it. .

excesses coinmitted. We remain here without ally
enemy before us, which we are sorry for. as in
fifteen days more we should have had the pleasure
of seeing their whole army desert to us
" From Tortoni they write in greater spirits than
ever. This morning a circumstance occurred which
was likely to have had disigrecable moults, had
not a stop been pot to it. Twenty deserters begun

" We are now a little more at ease with respect
to our situation here. Sehastiani has retired. and
the *Finnish hr id-quarters have advanced, and some
patties have reached Lorca. Blake is very active,
and enjoys the confidence 4.1 every one. In Cata-

would have suffered much more had General lbar-
rola acted properly ; he is arrested, sod will pro-

it will be the deter:tinted conduct or O'Donnell and

from B iscelona the I.lth instant. having the 9.1111 e
dry received a reinforcement of between 12 and
15,000 men, upon Iglialada. in the rear of the Pa-
triots stationed at the Llobeegat. From Igualada
they fell down anon the Cull de Santa Christina,
which they forced on the 17th and lath. Early in
the morning of the 18th,, 8,000 men entered Rests,
by which they obliged the Patriot• stationed ■t
Faket and Tulsa to abandon their positions. and
to save themselves by running into Tarragona in
the best manner they caiild. It was not known at
Torment' on the POI§ where General O'Donnell
war. The consequence of the above it, that the
enemy have become masters of the Ebro. is-.d sur-

Their force on this vide the Ebro is stated to be
