V That on the 11th of January there was a bloody
engagement between the forces of the enemy, an I
those of Espoz y Mina. The flying cavalry, tx?.-
longing to General Mendizabal, were also in the
engagement, which ended in the defeat of the
enemy; who left sou [ten dead on the field of
battle, whilst otirs amounted, to 150. General
Reille, Govenor of Pampluna, with nearlj, the whole
of the garrison, who marched out to succour his
friends, escaped only by the swiftness of ba horse
and his troops, in the most disordered state, retkirn-
ed to the fortress. It was a glorious day fOr out
army, and certainly very flattering to General
dizabal. This General has traversed all the pro-,
vinces within his jurisdiBion, in every part otwhich'
he was received with joy by the inhabitants, will,
.ordered the bells to be rung, and rent the air-with
cries of God save King Ferdinand It is impossible
to describe the enthusiasm and feelinGs of the people,
who loudly demanded arms."
CORUNNA, MARCH 13.—Extraa of a letter frond
Brigadier F. Espoz y Mina to General Mendizabal.
Sanguesa, Feb. 7.
" After the aaion of Jantiary 11th, on the right
bank of the Ebro, I marched with a small corps of
infantry against the enemy's garrison at Lodo'.a,
which I compelled to retire to its strong hold, iA11,4
my troops took from their magazines about 2,000
fanegas of barley. In the mean time, my-second its
command, Cruchaga, scoured the country with (131
rest of the cavalry as far as the walls of Patnpolnna,
where the vile slaves of the tyrant of Europe were
obliged to take refuge.
I then made derangements to march- against
General Sourhei and his brigade. He was (pi,
posted at Sanguesa, with the 3d reOmeo: of
iiz-
fantry of the line, some .gems d'arma and Poles,
amounting in all, to 1600 infantry, m it h 170 horse.
I came upon him in the morning of the sth instant,
and began firing, very unexpedly oti his Nei.'
One company:of the 4th bit aliou, sutst-orted by ,
two others, forced the triage, with a ;slour which
was admired by the enesity ; -whi:e other' parties of
troops entered the town on another side. Son;i: r
attempted to recover his troops from the stirpsi,,e
into which they had : but at er a ttivere
moment, he was obl:ged -10 'erne to.vards•Sos;
across a plain, two league, in length. I foll Owed
him wnh the cavalry astd infantry; tied though tl,O
enemy attempted to pr,,ltTt theinselVes,b by forming
a squale several times, they were ultimately drivett
within the yvall; of So-s, so much panic struck, that
they tremble at the vety name of the division of..
Navarre.

"'General 'So-tiller 'received two -balls ; one
One and s,..veral other dJd
remained on the field of baffle; and I am ce.t.iia
thai the enemy most- have:lo•d9oo men in killed
and wounded. AL. loss is also crinsilmible, b: ing
at least 30 killed ar,d 200 tous,ded of the infantry,
among whom are several officers. I must, in jus.
Lice, inform yon, thfrit all the officers attached to my
suites and that of Col. Cr uchaga, have eith,,rbeen
wounded, or had their.hrirses killed under them."
•
(Here he mentious the names of Officers
wounded).
" It is impossible to describe the bravery,---I
miqht rather say the ferocity,---of both officers and
men. Your Excellency saw term in the action of
;he i Ith of Jaitoary, but you could ricit have form,
ed an ich.,a of the valour they distilayed on the sth
of February. I roust i'ahicularly recommend the
regiment of liimars, who last 103, in men' and
horses: among them Lieutenant Flich, a Prussian,
who received two balls, and lost his horse, particu<
larlytiistinguished himself."
