The —General commanding the Army of the North,
informed of this succession of events, resolved on
marching himself upon the place with a strong co-
lumn, and supporting the operationrof General Roll-
get. This movement, and that of General Soulier,
who arrived by Orosco; caused the precipitate eva-'
cnation of Bilboa, and the diipersion of the enemy's]
troops. General Soulier's column met Longa's band)
near Miravales, and completely routed it.
On the 81st of August General Caffarelli set out
from Bilboa with the intention of pursuing the ene-
my, and securing the communications with Santona.
General Rouget remained at Bilboa with some troops,
and had soon to furnish detachments which weaken-
ed his resources, In ibis situation, informed that the]
bands had again formed, he came to the determina
tion of evacuating the place. and resuming his first
position, at Durango. He was soon told that the
bands were spread over the maritime communes,
and prevented the entry of the contributions. Infor-
med that Artala, with a battalion, occupied Guer.;
nica, he set nut on the ISth of September, in the
hope of surprising him ; he in effect found the insur-'
gents in Guernica, but their flight was more prompt
than the march of our troops, and they hastily esca-
Fped Imm the place and dispersed in the mountains.
Two days after, they appeared before Guernica with
reinforcements, and made offensive demonstrations.
Several detachments, sent to reconnoitre at different
points, attacked them so briskly that they stood in
no position, and after having killed or wounded a
good number of their men, General Rouget lost all
hope of overtaking and bringing them to action ; in
consecuence of which be immediately marched back
his c,:fumns for Durango, which he entered on the*
16th ultimo. •
