CARREGUY.

TOTAL DEFEAT OF TWO DIVISIONS OF THE
QUEEN'S TROOPS.

You may rely on the following news :—On the 27th and
28th of October, Zumalacarreguy attacked two divisions
of the Queen's troops in the plain between Salvatierra and
Vittoria. After fighting from sunrise to sunset, the two
Christino divisions, composed the first of 3,000, the other
of 4,000 men, were completed routed. General O'Doyle,
the commander of one of the divisions, and his brother,
were taken prisoners, and instantly shot. The Carlists took
1,500 prisoners ; 700 Christinos were killed, and more than
700 wounded. The whole of the ammunition and baggage
fell into the hands of the victors, along with the colours of
the 6th regiment of the line and seven pieces of artillery.
The greater part of the arms of both divisions were taken
by the Carlists. The Christinos fled in disorder to Vitto-
ria, followed by their opponents, who dragged them from
the very walls of the city.

Zumalacarreguy, in a despatch to Don Carlos, speaks
highly of Zabala and Valdespina, who were constantly to
be seen in the hottest part of the battle. He further states
that it his intention to attack the main body of the enemy,
commanded by Oraa, on the 29th or 30th, and that he has
placed fifteen battalions, and two regiments of cavalry, in
advantageous positions. " Should I," adds this brave fel_
low, " be this day victorious, the road to Madrid is ope,
your Majesty."

The enthusiasm of the Carlists canr:jt be described.
Women and children gather musketc and form themselves
into companies.

Don Carlos has p^ toned all the prisoners. He left
Onate, the,ever:ig of the 29th, at the head of three batta-
lions, in r....-cter to reinforce Zumalacarreguy in his intended
P`..uck on the 30th. He took the road of La Sierra Aran-
zazu. A battalion of Carlists, about 1,000, were employed
the whole of the 29th in picking up the arms of the Queen,
left on the field of battle.

This affair took place in the open plain and not in the
defile of the mountains. It is probable you will have more
details to-morrow.

The Carlists have again blockaded Elisondo.
VAL CARLOS, Nov. 4, Nine, p.m.
Don Carlos, on the 29th, decorated Zumalacarreguy with
the Grand Cross of Ferdinand. The King placed the
riband himself on the neck of the chief. Don Carlos was,
on the 3d of November, about two leagues from Bilboa, at
the head of 6,000 men. Espartero was blockaded in the
city. The greatest consternation reigns amongst the inha-
bitants.

I have just learned that the second division of the
Queenites, on the 28th, was commanded by Gen. Osma.
The Carlists have now 3,000 guns for which they have
as yet no men. Recruits are pouring in hourly, and three
additional battalions are to be formed.

I can state as true that Zumalacarreguy captured, in the
affair of the 27th, at Fuen Mayor, 1,300 muskets, two mil-
lions of reals, which had been sent from France, and suffi-
cient cloth to clothe 4,000 men.
Zumalacarreguy intends attacking Elisondo. The
Queenites having confined in the house of Misericordia, at
Elisondo, seventeen Carlist families, the insurgents have
taken as many Liberal prisoners, and demand 28,000 dol-
lars ransom.

The Carlists have taken from the Qucenites, since the
11th of October, 400 horses.

Lorenzo, with his division, crossed the French frontiers
yesterday, to make (as he says) a short cut to Pampeluna.
We can get no tidings from Mina. Several desertions
have taken place in the Queen's troops since the defeat of
Osma and O'lloyle.

BAYONNE, Nov. 3.
I transmit to you the following letter, written by a Car-
list, and dated Onate, 29th ult. : _

" Not only is the report of the defeat of the 27th con-
firmed, but we hear of another, which was experienced on
the following day, by 3,000 Christinos, who were coming up
to rescue the prisoners taken on the 27th. The army ef
Charles V. pursued the enemy as far as Vittoria. 'the
field was already strewed with GOO dead, when. Zumalacar-
recrbui ordered his men to give quarter. it was impossible
to keep back the Carlists, who like horses and made
prisoners at the very gates f-Ji Vittoria. The battle took
place in the plain exten'llng from Salvatierra to that city.
The loss of the enemy in those two days, is said to amount
to upwards of 2,000 men, several pieces of artillery, ammu-
nition, arms, and the colours of the Gth regiment of the line.
The prisoners were marched off in different directions, and
this evening a detachment of 203 of them arrived here with
their own drummers beating at the head of the column. The
Chief of the division, O'lloyle, and several other officer'
were immediately shot.

" His Majesty has appointed Zumalaearregui Grand
Cross of St. Ferdinand, To-day we sang aTc Deum, in
commemrabion or the victory."
Two companies of Carlista placed themselves in an am-
buscade in the mountains a Espinal, on the road leading to
Arieta, by whicil the officer sent with despatches by Ge-
nnfiai lien was to pass on the 30th ult., with an escort of
100 men, Tile moment the detachment came up, the
Carlists opened a fire on them, and killed the officer and
eight of the men. This occurrence is said to have made an
unpleasant impression on the General.

On the 30th the sth and 7th ba it o?

The insurgents call General Mina the fiftlrilibl4rtlavarre.
Intelligence received this evening states that the 3d bat-
tal'on of Navarre, with two pieces of artillery, had been or-
dered to lay a regular siege to the house of Misericordia of
Elisondo, and that Zumalacarreguy was expected in the valley.
The Junta was this morning at Lesaca, with 100 infantry
and 20 horses.

BAYONNE, NOY. 4.

It appears that Zumalacarreguy, with the 3d and 4th
battalions, escorting 300 prisoners, arrived yesterday at the
in
tends
to of Beunsa, in the valley of Imaz. To-day he
to pass through Santestevan, for he has ordered 2,000 ra-
tions of bread, wine, and meat, to be held in readiness for
him in that place. He brings with him two pieces of ar-
tillery, with which he intends to batter the house of Mise-
ricordia of Elisondo. This expedition may have a double
object : first, by making himself master of that place, he
will get rid of the garrison ; and, secondly, he will claw the
attention of the Queen's troops to that quarter, and thus
allow the Pretender, who has been of late mach harrassed,
to enjoy some repose.
Ten days ago two emissaries from Catalonia presented
themselves at the head-quarters of Don Carlos, and en-
treated of the Prince to furnish his faithful subjects of that
principality with arms and money, pledging themselves that
in a few days 10,000 men would be ready to take the field,
for his cause, in the mountains of that province.
Mina intends to change, altogether, the system of war-
fare hitherto followed by his predecessors. On his way to
Pampeluna, he arrested the parish priests of the valley of
Bastan,Erro,andEsteribar, and brought them off as hostages.
The Carlists have established an hospital at Isalba,
within a league of Ochogavia, in the valley of Salazar.
The Junta has issued orders to the Clergy of Navarre to
levy7a contribution of 260 reals, in their respective parishes,
for the use of the army. On the other band, the Chris-
tinos, not being able to exact the payment of certain sums
which the late General-in-Chief bad given directions to
raise in different districts, have arrested a ntimber of clergy-
man, and removed them to the head-quarters.
Zabala and Valdespina have made their submission to
Don Carlos, and have begged, ac, a favour, to be allowed to
serve him as simple voluntee:s. Both are to be employed
as Aides-de-Camp to tlyb Prince.
Zumalacarreguy kas written a letter to his friends here,
confirming the statement contained in the Carlist bulletin ;
he adds, that General Osma was present at the affair of the
27th anti. 18th. The Carlist Chief invites the Committee
to give up, for the present, sending any more arms, as he
had taken 3,000 stand in the late engagements.
