additional proof of that heroic patriotism and attach-
ment to its Sovereign which distinguish and charac-
terize it. On the 30th of November, in the dusk
of the evening, the enemy, being above .12.,000
men in number, made their appearance in the quar-
ter of Torrero and Casa Blanca, having come by
Muel and Muria, on the roads from Madrid and
Valencia. Parr of them took post•on the road, on a
height situated between the hermitagelof Soledad
and Santa Barbara, and commanding Li 'Casa Blan-
ca ; the rest ascended, under cover of the ravine de..
la MUerie, which covers Torrero, and took posses-
sion of the CarthUsian =mastery of Conception.—
They had a considerable body at Albion, and we
Were informed that 3000 men were advancing'by
• way of Tauste and Castejon de Buldejussa a Zuera;_ •
in order to ettack•u:s at four points. The whole of
the garrison were immediateiy ordered under arms,
and the heroes of Saragossa also took up their mus-
kets. All the posts were occupied, and the whole
of the inhabitants went out:with alacrity and'enthu-
siasin to be spectators of the glorious anion which
was impending. On the Ist of December, at day-
•break, the enemy were dialodged from the Carthu-
sian.nionastery, and compelled to fan back through
the ravine, when they took p6st in five eoltutant. on
the heighta that command Torrero, with the decided.
intention of tbaking their attack in that quarter.—,
They mareeuvred until 10 o'clock A. M. at which
hour they commenced their most, decisive and vigor-
ous attack in the direction of Cast Blanca. , It was
received on our side with a very brisk fire of mus-
ketry • and cannon,. Which lasted until two e'cloCk,
when the whole of the enemy's army in Soledad fell
back, shamefully ..abandoning Torrero. It was. ap-
prehended that at this very mottwnt they were pro-
ceeding to make an attack, with the whole of their
force,Th the direction of Casa Blanca ; and such was
,stationed at than point,
