PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

EILBOA, SEPT. 22.
Since the departure of General Alava, on Saturday last,
for Madrid, little of importance has occurred in the British
Auxiliary Legion. It is now divided into four brigades, viz.
The English Brigade, consisting of the Rifle Corps, the
6th Regiment, and the 9th (Munster) Regiment, under the
command of Brigadier-General Reid. •
The Ist Brigade, consisting of the Ist Regiment of In-
fantry, the 3d Regiment of Grenadiers, and the 7th (Irish)
Light Infantry, under the command of Brigadier-General
de Lacy Evans.

The 2d Brigade, consisting of the 2d Regiment and the
Bth ( Highland) Regiment, under the command of Brigadier-
General Chichester.

The 3d Brigade, consisting of the sth (Highland) Regi-
ment and the 9th (Irish) Regiment, under the command of
Colonel Charles Shaw.

When the whole of the troops shall have arrived, one or
two other brigades may be formed. The artillery and cavalry
have not yet reached this city.
The Carlists continue in this neighbourhood. Don Car-
los was, at noon on Saturday, at Ochandiano, with one bat-
talion of Guides, and was going on Sunday to Durango.
The Biscayan rebels were on Sunday at Zornosa, and
said to be about to move, but not known whither. The
Carlist battalions of Navarre, Guipuscoa, and Alava, as well
as those under Cuevillas, to the number of 14, with 400
cavalry, arc stated to have been on Saturday at Quincocez,
coming from Espeja as if with an intention to attack Espe-
leta's division a second time, but he now proceeds with more
caution. That division spent Friday night at Villasanta.
The column under Castaneda was about to move towards
the valley of Mena. Cordova, with the greater part of the
Queen's army, remain at Puente Lai% on the Ebro.
The Carlists are stated here to have lost much courage
since the arrival of the British legion, and the defeat of the
column on the frontier of Catalonia. The change of Mi-
nistry at Madrid is also considered favourable to the cause
of the Queen, for much confidence appears to be put in the
integrity of General Alava, and in the abilities of aenor
Mendizabel.

There are daily desertions from the (arlists to this town.
Yesterday eight more came over, and in the evening more.
I saw two this morning, who assured me that the greater
part of the Carlists, who have been forced to enter the
ranks, are only anxious for an opportunity to return with
safety to their homes—an opportunity which the presence
of the British troops insures to many of them. There are
also several corps of volunteers who have offered their ser-
vices to fight under the command of the British Generals.
General Evans, like many of the officers, has been during
four days slightly indisposed. The change of climate and
the damp weather account easily for the indisposition. He
wail, however, on Sunday afternoon sufficiently recovered to
be able to make a military promenade. on the tops of the
mountains and hills immediately to the north of the town.
There are several vessels of war now cruising on the coast
to intercept the ships coming with ammunition and volun-
teers to Don Carlos. The Spanish Admiral, Chacen, who
has several vessels of war and gun-boats under his orders,
is much talked of for not preparing an expedition' and
taking possession of Bormeo, a small port now in the pos-
session of the Carlists, and within seven leagues by land of
this town. But this old Admiral, who has never shown.
much enterprise, is rather a weight upon the proceedings
of the Queen's troops than an advantage. His removal,
and the appointment of a bold daring young sailor, would
be productive of much benefit.
TUESDAY EVENING, SEPT. 22.
The mail having been delayed for four hours, I have an
opportunity of stating, that on Sunday last three soldiers of
the British Legion, who had been taken prisoners by the
Carlists, were shot at Zornoza. The six musicians, who
were also taken, are in prison, as not having been taken
with arms in their hands. One of the lads belonging to
those musicians has been made bugler to General Maroto.
The Water Witch has arrived, and brought intelligence
of a steam-boat and another vessel of war being about to
come in to strengthen the squadron here.
A few Carlists have been seen on the hills in the neigh-
bourhood, but no force of consequence has appeared.
The country people appear anxious to give supplies to
the legion. Various offers have been made to M. Faxardo,
the Commissary-General, of meat and other provisions.
The certainty of being treated with justice and kindness
by the British chiefs has already gained the good-wii
of many.
