AINIIOA, JtNE 28.-1 noticed in my last the intention of
General Garcia to attack the Chrittino military line, extend-
ing from V..lcarlos, on the frontiers of France, to Pampeluna.
On the 24th, at three o'clock, a.m., this operation was pot
into execution by a vigorous attack on the Blockhouse, situate
on the height of Tirapegui. After a determined resistance,
the garrison, composed of R battalion of the French Foreign
Legion, were compelled to retreat on Zubiri. The Carlists
instantly razed this petty fort. About four o'clock, p.m.,
General Garcia having learned that a strong column of Chris_
tines, under the command of the Baron de Meer, was rapidly
advancing to the relief of the French Legion, thought it
advisable to send the artillery,
,to Traisos, in the valley of
Ulzarna, whilst he attacked the Christinos in front. A
sanguinary engagement then ensued, in which the Christinos
lost 450 men hors de combat, and the Carlists about 300. The
Christinos retreated on Larrasoana, and Garcia returned to
Olague, the head-quarters he had marched from in the morn-
ing. ,Since the 24th there has been no fresh attacks, owing to
the arrival of General Espeleta, the new Viceroy of Navarre,,
at Pampeluna, and a strong reinforcement. General Garcia
is also strongly fortifying his division; already two pieces of
24 and one mortar have been added to his park of artillery,
and three battalions of Castilians arc daily expected in the
valley of Ulzama.
The accounts from Vittoria are highly interesting. On the
25th Cordova and.six battalions of infantry, several squadrons
of cavalry, and six pieces of artillery, marched from that city
in the direction of Logrono, taking the road by Miranda.
The same afternoon 300 cavalry went in the same direction.
The division commanded by General Rivero, which quitted
Vittoria on the 23d, took the road to Logrono by Laguardia.
General Espartero remained in Vittoria with the rest of the
forces. We hear two different Christino official reports as to
the future intentions of Cordova, particularly as. regards his
sudden march from Vittoria, or rather the abandonment Of
his cherished project of once more getting possession of Ar-
laban. By some it is said that the greater part of the Chris.
tino force is directed to Navarre, and the object of forelog the
Bastin and the Dos Hermanas, thus opening tho VO,a4 at two
principal points to the high road of GuiptiMit, At the same
time that these movements are being made by Generals Cor-
dova, Bernelle, and Espeleta, Evans is to march forward, and
thus place the Carlists between two fires. The other version
is, that Cordova intends marching into Arragon, to put down
Cabrera if he can, and then to enter into Saragossa, either as
a frietal or enemy—which report is true, a very few days will
show ; at all events, we arc likely to have some serious engage-
ments along the frontiers.
All these marches, plans, operations, and movements seem
to trouble the Carlist Commander. in. Chief but very little ; his
troops are so concentrated that within a very few hours he
can transport them to any given point 1 hut, as if to prove his
total disregard for the ouruhlued operations of the Spanish,
Anglo- Spanish, French, and Portuguese troops, he has ac-
tually—so lam most credibly informed—sent a strong divi..
sion into the Asturias I

Evans is luxuriously reposing on his laurels at St. Sebas-
tian. Yesterday there was a skirmish between the outposts
on the heights, but of so insignifieant a nature that it is hardly
worth noticing. But although I bare nothing to say of the
military movements of General Evans, much may be said, and
a neat deal, I doubtorill be said in England'of his numerous
'Orders of the Dag," One of these precious documents
which I have now before me, and which ought to have been
published in London some days since, contains the following
passage :—" That as the legion is now acting in concert with
the English Royal marines, all British subjects who shall be
found, arms in hand, aiding or assisting the insur-
gents, will be considered as rebels to his Majesty the
King of Rrwiand, and be subject to the penalty of
death, which, in all probability, will be put in force
according to the laws of England." I have translated
this from the Spanish, and therefore will not undertake to an-
swer for its being couched in the actual terms made use of by
General Evans. lam not aware how far General Evans may
be warranted in point of law in going the length he does;
but this much is certain, that it is a disgrace to England that
Englishmen fighting under the Spanish cockade, paid by the
Spanish Government, should be subject to English penal mili-
tary laws, and not entitled to any of the benefits of the regu-
lar British army. A soldier belonging to Evans's legion will
be shot for desertion, because the legion is acting in eeniriert
with the -royal marines ; but a soldier of the 'woo corr;s
wounded, even by the side of the same RIPAIe4, will..not be
entitled to any pension, &c., from chi, British Coverment.
The children and orphans of men killed may /starve on the
highway, or the wounded soldier rot-3, .beg his bread from door
to door, Lord PalmerstoP Would send or them to the
Spanish Government 1 but should any portion of the Legion
desire to change their employer, and prefer Don Carlos to
Isabelia--."t according to i*rit)sh law," so says Col, Evans,
they are to bt. shut 1. This is justice with a vengeance. It
is to be Impel some notice will be taken of this order of the
day in the Tiouses of Parliament.
Dan Carlos, oh the 25th, was at Villa Franca, and the head-
quarters of Gen. Villareal, the same date, at Salinas.
In ease you should not, ere this, have received Evans's order
of the day, I enclose it,
