in the aet by James the tenant to the
farm, who made iionse resistance against the

happened, and he, with his accu,toinedahwrity; took.,
f-Turil Carrick a party of dragoons, and continued
'

;SevILLE, Nov. 25.—The head=quarters of our
artily of La Mancha are in Carolina. The action of
Ocana commenced in a manner which affoidecl every,
hone of a' favnnrable issue ; the soldiers repeatedly
promised the General' in Chief not to forsake him,
and every thing bore the most glorious aspect. The
division of Lacy repulsed the enemy several times
with 'fixed bayonets, and behaved with the_utmost
gallantry; but at the very moment when victory
seemed to be ours, one of those unfortunate acci-
dents which render the fate at arms so precarious'
and uncertain; • snatched it from our hands. The
guards, the battalion of Murcia, the Carbineers,
and some other regiments, performed prodigies of
valour.
Our army of La Mancha behaved most gallantly
in the bWle of Ocana ; a'nd after having made great
havoc among the enemy's hoops-, and sustained very,
corisideiable losses, it fell back
,to the
,banks of the
. Guadiana.. It will probably rally on that point, and'
make head against the enemy, whoin the say*,
loss be has suffered will perhaps prevent from attack-
ing

.again. -
The two parks of artillery which are attached -to
the two divisions of our army.nfLa Mancha have ar-
rived safe, at the head-quarters in Carolina, without
one single carriage being missing.. .
