Oicet, Dec. so,
• " On the morning of the Bth, when. I We., dis-
tributing brandy to the troops, I received accounts
that the ecemy had just marched from Otot; 'which
they had entered on the evening of the 6:ll.,,Scarce-
ly had the news spread among my troops, when an
uniform cry was heard among them--' We want
neither bread nor brandy, but only our cartridges'to-
kill the French.' I took advantage of their claim-
siasrit, and marched them to meet the enemy. In
an hour and a (Imola we had already reached Cat-
telfullit, my clivmston basing marched three leagues
in that short time, My troops came up with, part
of the enemy's rear, and routed it. The enemy, in-
stead of continuing their, retreat, colletled th. it
force, took up a strong position in time plain of Poi-
lige, protected by their artillery and cavalry, and
coolly waited for my attack. I bent all my endea-
vouts to turn ibex position ; and for that purpose

ordered Don &Irvin Llovera with his battalion to
match to the right, detaching at the same time other
parties to reconnoitre a wood and iom Llovera, if
they found 'nothing to prevent it. (He then Men-
tions the divisions which he posted in the centre
and on the right) The enemy endeavoured .to
counterati this plan, by attacking the centre, which
1 opportunely leiotbrced with some CO'[)' lines.
His cavalry charged, and Were thrown into disorder,
This attempt having proved abortive, and 'perceiving
that his flanks were in danger of being turned by
our columns of the right and left, he retired 'to,
new position close to S. Jayme. This retreat ,of the
enemy, and the sight at the loss Which his leilst•
ance had canned loin, excited new enthusiasm -1n
our troops, i.Vho charged them with intrepidity :
entnpelling them to leave this new position, and re-
tire upon a battalion which they had in the plain, of
Argelsuguer atid which rested on, the honses,of that .
village. Ica+used 28. horsemen ,of S, Narciso, the
only ones 1 had, to •advance with tidy Alutaiit,
Capt. D. Narciso Masanas ; and the approach of this
small force, which they had not hitherto seen, made
the enemy abandon their position, and retire to a
wood in their rear, on,the other side of a small rieer•
where many circumstances concurred itr,forating a
fine position, There the combat was renewed with
unequalled intrepidity on our side, and with extra-
ordioary obstinacy on that of the enemy, who.n
neither their advantageous position, not the sopelior
number of their force, and the Constant arrival of
rinforeements, could prevent from relinquishing
