According to the last iutelktence from Cadiz,

Our combined army has defeated the French in
Chiclaua, Henna, and Puerto-teal; iu conse-
quence of the said action, many wounded arrived
jn St. Lucar, arid our conimuilication by laud with
Cadiz is open.
It is also s-lid, that our army intends to make a
descent on Santa Maria, where the enemy has estab-
lished his head-quarters, anal that it would already
have been effected. but fur the boisterousness of the
weather.
General Ballasteros contiours to occupy the
Sierra Moretti, and to harass the enemy ; General
Carrera is this day to arrive in Corra with his
