BAYONNE, MAY 30, HALF-PAST 12 o'CLocx, P.M.—
The Carlist expedition which arrived on the 24th at Hu-
esca was attacked the same day under the walls of that
town by Irribarren. The affair was brisk. Irribarren was
grievously wounded ; the commandant of his cavalry was
killed. 400 Christinos were placed hors de combat. The
Carlists entered Huesca, after having experienced a more
considerable loss. The Christinos took up a position at
Almudevar.

On the 25th Bucrens left Saragossa with six battalions
and 500 horse, and has replaced Irribarren.
The Governor of Sos announces that on the same day
the expedition had attempted to open for itself a passage,
but had been thrown back upon Huesca, where it re-
mained blockaded.
The Carlists in Navarre have taken Lerin. They attack
(at this moment) Lodosa.
In the course of Wednesday afternoon the French
Government received the following additional intelli-
gence from the Spanish frontier :
" BAYONNE, MAY 30.—The Carlist army left Huesca
on the 27th, and took the road to Barbastro. The Chris=
tino troops entered Huesca the same day.
PEAPIGN•N, MAY 30.—An officer of Rochmore's
cavalry approached our outposts, and cried out from Spain
that 26 battalions of Navare and 2,000 horse had captured
at La Conque de Trampe 1,000 Christino cavalry, some
infantry, and a battery of artillery, and that the Carlists
occupied Benevarre and Montaguana. This news requires
to be confirmed." _ _

In the truth of the concluding observation we en-
tirely concur. The dispatch from Perpignan has all
the appearance of a stock-jobbing hoax.
The following is General IRRIBARREN'S account
of the late engagement between the Carlists and
Christinos, at Huesca, in -which the Viceroy was
wounded :

" Early this morning I commenced the march from
Guerrea y Alcala, with the object of preventing the enemy
from taking possession of the pass of Cinca, and of ad-
vancing upon him in the direction of Barbastro. The neces-
sity under which I lay of providing rations for the troops
detained me in Almudevar, and the enemy, who had
marched all night, as I heard from the peasantry, entered
Huesca. This was confirmed to me on my arrival, and
it appearing to me honourable to the arms of her Majesty
to offer the enemy battle, I took up a position within gun-
: shot of that city. They fired a few grenades upon our
infantry and cavalry, but did not dare to come without
the walls, although it was not my intention to attack
the to..vn. The ardour of my troops, who saw the
cowardice of the enemy, induced them to rush forward
upon their advanced guard under a most. dreadful fire.
The loss of the enemy was considerable from the re-
peated discharges of our artillery. Our loss is also sen-
sible, although inferior to theirs. We have to deplore the
death of the brave and worthy commander of the Division
de la Ribero, Don Diego Leon of Navarrete, who fell glo-
riously at the head of a single division of cavalry, contending
against the overwhelming force of the united infantry and
cavalry of the enemy. I also had the honour of being
wounded, and in consequence have given notice to General
Bucrens to take the command of the troops in my place, as
I found myself compelled to draw back to this position to
have my wounds attended to.
" For General IRRIBARREN,
" Brigadier FELIX CAMERA.
" Zaragossa, May 25, 18.37."
In the cour-e of the action the Infante Don SE..
BASTIAN had Noise shot tinder him ; and is reported
to have conducted himself during the engagement with
uncommon coo!ness. Not so his Royal Uncle. Don
CAItLOS dislikes the smell of gunpowder, and has a
life•preserviug horror of balls, bullets., and cold steel.
Nature never intended him for a hero, and he is not
ambitious of assuming a post which might expose him
to the perils of one.
In the meantime ESPARTERO is ruining the Con-
