is PARIS, NOVEMBER 10;
N They write from Bayonne, November 3, that thi
column of Quesada, which was in the defiles from

Lavela and Guipuscoa, and which was not able.'not-
withstanding the orders which it had received from

_ .
the Regency of Urge), and the Junta of Bayonne, to

form the germ of a corps, nor even to maintain itself,
supposed devoted to the interests of the insurrec-
tionists, and where everything was refused to it, has
been obliged to retreat with greater celerity than it

had :{dvaticed; but the Constitutionalists, who hail
opened their ranks to let it advance into a country
from where retreat was nearly impossible, placed
themselves in such positions as to wait for their of -

ponents under every advantage. What was foic+
seen arrived. Quesada has re-tppeareJ in Navarre.
and had a serious engagement on the 27th with the
' troops of Espinosa, at Los Arcos, near Longrono.
The fight lasted four hours; but at length th Ccn.
stitutionalists remained masters of the field.

" The troops of the Faith retired towards Estella,
with a loss not yet accurately ascertained, but which
some persons, on the authority of private letters, say
amounts to 700 killed, wounded, and poisoners. The
Chief, Redondo, who was wounded, is since dead.
The Constitutionalists lost sixty killed, and I'4)
wounded. The Army of the Faith continued its pain-
ful retreat, or rather flight, to Ochagavia,Lumbierg,
and Vera. It is in the most deplorable state, wanting
everything. It is continually pursued.

Bayonne, General Quesada entered, after having le t
all his materiel, having been convletely defeate.:
General Espinosa.
" The Supplement to the Gazette of Barcelona, of
October 29, contains an account of the decisive au-
vantages which General Mina has obtained over the
Baron d'Ettotnes. We translate it literally.

" Towards midnight of the 23g and 24th, 40C f:e-
tious, or the greater part of those who garri•oned
Castelfollit, profiting by a heavy rain, and an excess:.ve
dark night, marched out,' one by one, at the heights
which are at the sear-guard of the exterior tower, and
succeeded in assassinating two of our sentinels, wile
were pi evented by the noise of the storm and the dark-
ness from distinguishing them, and without allowing
themselves to be stopi.ed by the alarm given by the
third sentinel. Our troops thus seeing themselves in
the horrible uncertainty of firing on one another, were
obliged to cease firing altogether, that they might not
perish by the hand of one another. But as the breach
was practicable, and the artillery of the tactious was
dismounted, under the uncertainty whether all had
actually taken flight, an assault was immediately or-
dered, and the principal fortress and other foots wet e
got .possession of without difficulty; but when we
reached the fortress, only sixty men were found these,
with many women and children. All, with the ex-
ception of the women and children, underwent the
rigorous law of war. The fugitives, half dead,
joined, seven hours after, the main body of the
dons at Savanhya.
" We have found a considerable quantity of all
sorts of stores and provisions, with nine pieces d
cannon, great and small ; all which has been sent to
Calaf and Cervera.
" The main body of the factious, under Erolles, Ro-
rnanillos, Rotnagosa, and Miralles, assembled on the
25th near Tora, with the view of attacking the litee
column of Garrea, which occupied that point and
protected Castelfollit and the other operations. 11:a
plan of the factious was to regain Castelfollit, o. :10
least their guns and stores, of which they
extreme need.
" General Mina, apprised of their plans, left
quarters on the 26th, at five in the morning, with a
corps of 9.500 men, and took position near Castelfoliit.
The battalion of Corunna supported alone for sorns
time the attack of the factious, whose number might
amount to 5000. OM- General made all the effors
of an experietited soldier to draw them to the attaeg,
but finding it in vain, determined on attacking.th•in
in the position which they had chosen, though it w•l'
very advantageous, as they occupied the diagonal lw
from Sora to Savanhya. For two hours the warnu,c
fire was kept up on both sides. This was truly th''
first pitched battle that we have had in Catalonia.
