SAN SEBASTIAN, Marten 10, 11 r. m. —A t thiTe this morniing
ed
Legion, marched out, and proceeded to the foot of
fied
post of Alza. Immediately after day-light they arrived
t the
top of that eminence, and by a well-directed fire dislo,4g:d the
l
enemy from various houses they had occupied ; and aftei-vv!s
fired upon and drove the Carlists from a small redoubt .149
had on the edge of a wood.
At half past six A.m. the important position of Ametzagana
was taken by General Chichester's brigade of the British Le
gion, without firing a shot. The Carlist troops in the plaae
abandoned it on perceiving the British troops mounting the
height. This is a most important acquisition, and will nog
be held. The parapets and ditches by which it is surrounded,
rendered it capable of a most obstinate defence. There all
spacious barracks for the accommodation of a vei.v large bod;
of men; these barracks, or guard-rooms, are what is cane(
splinter-proof, being tiled, and moreover covered with thicl
planks. There are regular guard-beds for the men.
This point having been secured, the heights of Garlx.Nra, amwhat is, I believe, called La Altura de la Yenta, were
carried
as well as a very high rocky hill beyond, which commands t"
high road from Oyarzun to Astigarrag-a, on which the enem:
have a strong position. The British foot and marine at-tiller)
did good service during the day. Some excellently-directo
spherical case-shot were thrown into a parapet and a woo(
where the Carlists were assembled in great numbers ; and de
tachments of sailors and marines from the different men-of
war and men-of-war steamers were most efficiently employe,
on the rocky hill and the Altura de la Venta above described
It was a truly gratifying sight; the blue-jackets brought U
a long six-pounder bodily on their shoulders, slung upG
spars ; the carriage was brought in like manner, whilst
number of the remainder of the men carried the ammuvitior
Commodore Lord John I-lay directed these operations perzroi
ally with his usual coolness and judgment ; and he was cm,'
zealously seconded by Captains Henderson, of the Phaini)
Dacres, of the Salamander, and the Honourable F.
Pelham, of the Tweed, accompanied by officers 4
their respective ships. Throughout this fatiguing da
these gallant officers wrought with that energy an
judgment for which British naval officers are so eirn
neatly distinguished. The Royal Marine battalion, for
was on the field in reserve ; their appearance and bearing wei
admirable, and on one or two occasions, when their servio
were-likely to be brought into play, they showed the utmo
alacrity. Both the British seamen and marines advanced mull
the British flag.
To revert to the rocky hill. A very heavy fire has bee
kept up during the day, upon and from that point The 71
regiment of th British Legion were ordered up to defend i
which it did most gallantly. I regret to say that six officer
of that regiment are wounded, and several men—l think abor
thirty. Amongst the former, I fear Lieutenant (or Captain
Duncan is mortally wounded,
The Royal Marine Artillery, also, was actively employ(
at this point. Lieutenants Clapperton and Muttlebury, 4
this distinguished corps, are wounded; not however severer;
I believe. The former was hit in three parts of his body.
The number of wounded is considerable. There had bee
36 British (including two sailors) brought into town, ai
554 Spaniards, at six o'clock this evening, at about whii
time I left the field ; and many more were then being brougl
in. I should think that altogether there must be about sew
hundred. A great majority of the wounds are, howeve
slight. Mr. Randolph, midshipman (passed for lieutenant
late of the Castor, and attached to Lord John Hay, w
sharply struck in the thigh by a spent ball.
At nightfall the firing ceased. Our right rests upon tl
River Urumea, commanded by the important post of Ametz
gana; and on our left on the rocky hill commanding ti
high road from Oyarzun to Hernani. General Evans re-
mains for the night at Alza. He directed the operations
the day with his accustomed gallantry and military talent.
The Carlists must have lost many more men than the Chri
Linos. The spherical case-shot thrown by our artillery in
a wood through which they were advancing and retread'
successively must have killed and wounded great number,
the road to Hernani was covered with wounded being carri(
to the latter place.

IRELAND.

DUISLIN, MARCH 15•

GENERAL ASSOCIATION.-At the usual weekly meeting ye
terday of this Association, the principal subject of discussion lc
the following resolution, which was eventually withdrawn
the mover, Mr. Doheny, at the suggestion of Mr. Barrett I
" That this Association immediately record its convittic
that the public Newspapers, in attributing to a Christian I
late language so insulting and irritating as that contained it
reported speech of the Lord Bishop of Exeter, have offer
an outrage to the people of Ireland, degraded the name of
ligion, and have imputed to the Right Reverend Prelate,
implication, the very charge which is reported to have be
made against the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin."
The Justice-rent was announced, for the past week,
amount to 1831. Is. 7d.
Captain R. Macnamara was admitted to bail yesterday
fore the Magistrates of the Head Office of Police, the 1
mainder of his sentence of imprisonment having been remitt
by the Lord Lieutenant. The fine of 1001. was paid to t
High Sheriff—the security entered into was himself in 1,001
and two sureties in 5001. each to be of the peace for sev
years. Capt. Macnamara seemed to be very much debilitat
from illness.

We copy the following paragraph from the Mail, the org
of the Orange party :—" Some failures are reported to he
taken place in this city in the course of yesterday and to-di
and public credit has sustained a considerable shock. Tral
we believe, was never at st) low an ebb in Dublin as at t
present moment ; and amongst the lower classes, particular
the poor weavers in the Liberty, distress prevails to an uni
ralleled extent. The want of a Court to which any of t
nobility and gentry can resort, and their consequent abseil
from the Irish metropolis at this, the usual period of their I
journ in Dublin, is one of the primary causes that has led
the universal depression of trade, and the extensive misery tI
prevails ;' but doubtless the reaction produced by the ruinc
system which first overrun the whole country, with a fore
circulation, and which circumstances made it necessary shut
be followed by a sudden contraction, is not without its eel
in producing the evil so sensibly felt."

Lady Canning, we regret to hear, died on We
nesday night. This event creates a vacancy in the borough
Warwick, the lion. Charles Canning bring now called to t
House of Lords as Viscount Canning.
'The Tories have, it is said, resolved to put the ll'
H. T. Liddell in nomination for the vacancy created in No'
Durham by Sir H. Williamson's retirement. Col. Becks'
is mentioned as likely to be the Liberal candidate, of whose st
cess there can be no doubt.
