BA YONN E, SEPT. 20.--On the morning of the I.3th General
Oran marched out of Mendahia with a column of 50(X) infantry.
and 300 cavalry, together with two pieces of artillery. He pro-
ceeded to' LoS Arcos, which placed he reached, having been
subjected on his march to a constant fire from guerrillas, which
did turn little harm. He immediately resolved to detach a body
of 2000 infantry to the heights of the Hermitage of San Grogorio,
which were in the possession of the Carlists; and which were de-
fended by the 6th battalion of Navarre, and 250 of the Algerine
deserters. The attack began by the Christinos sending on seve-
ral detatehments in front of the force under cover of their fire.
These detatchtnents were repulsed by the Carlists. The engage-.
ment soon became general,'the voilies being sustained in turn
by the companies for nearly Iwo hours. The determined con-
ral:ce of the sixth battaliou of Navarre, and the Algerines, how-
ever, compelled the Christinos to cease the attack. and to re-
tireto Los Arcos, leaving 30 dead on the field; their wounded
amounted to BO men. Tire Carlist loss was 20 killed and 60
wounded. The Christinos pillaged on the same day, several
houses, which had been deserted by their occupants (00 the ap-
proach of the troops,) who had fled to the mountains. On the
14th Oraa marched with his columns towards Arroniz, where the
Carlist General Don J. Garcia was stationed with the Ist, 2d,
and 3,1 battalions of Navarre Guides; the 4th reformed, and the
7th, 9th, 11th, and 12th regiments, the sth regiment of Biscay-
sus, the 3d of Castile, and three squadrons of cavalry, with two
pieces of artillery, were also under General Garcia's command.
Early in the morning of the 14th the columns of Iribaren and
Lebean, the first numbering 1500 infantry, 7(X) horse, and two
guns,, the second the two battalions of Algiers, five battalions of
troops of the line, one of Chapelgoris, and a squadron of 300
horse, marched from Leria and Larrago to join Oraa's column
in the road from Sem' to Arroniz. The three generals marched
iu front' to that last point.
At nine in the morning the fire began at the entrance of
Arroniz; it was maintained by the Carlists for three hours, but
at last the village was taken by the Christinos, who forced all
the positions. The fire was continued by the Carlists in retir-
ing to Estella, and on the heights of Nlontejura. Elie village
or Arrnniz was pillaged, and several houses were burnt. Two
,pieces of Artillery were placed by the Christinos on the Her-
mitage and on the heights of Arroniz. The uunterous case-
shots which they fired thence annoyed the Carlists very much.-
On the left wing, the cavalry of the Queen charged twice on
the village of Igurquira, and by that means, the action becom-
ing general, the Carlists retired along- the whole line (firing by
platoons) to the wood of Trache and to the village of Ayegui,
about three-quarters of a mile from Estella. The loss of the
Carlists is 240 men killed, amongst whom were ten officers of
all grades, and 400 wounded, anongst whom are 12 officers:aud,
a colonel. They have lost also about 50 prisoners. It is-said
that the loss of the Christinos is 160 Inca killed; of:whant five-
areofficers,: and at least three hundred wounded, who were'
•transportedlo Lerin and Puente la Reyna on the 19th'of this'
moot h.

On the night orthe 14th the constitutional troops entered the
villages of Dicastello, Arellano, Aluniac, and Alberni, in the
valley of Si,lona. On the 15th, after havingpillaged the houses
of the families which had fled,.they burnt ten houses in Muni-
ani; and went to Oyeza, about a league and a half from Estella,
in hopes to explore, on the 16th, •the villages of Cirangui.and,
Manera, and some other 'Ants of the Carlist line. On the 13th
and 14th, the. tribunals and Carlist juntas quitted the town of
-Estella, with all their most precious effects. A detachment.Of
50 men only remained in the fortress of Pin ; all the sick and,
wounded of the hospital of Trache left also, except those who
were too ill to be removed. _

On the night of the 14th, several wounded Carlists, with
three battalions, came to take up their quarters in Estella.
On the 15th instant, 17 soldiers of the National Guards ap•
peered before the Carlists in Estella. General Garcia gave
them the reward which he had promised for such an attempt.
General lturralde went to surrender hitnself in the castle of
Guebarra, asking of Don Carlos the favour of being tried by a
council of war.
The Pretender arrived at Estella on the 27th, at three
o'clock in the afternoon. Villareal had entered the same town
on the 16th. He had but three battalions with him.

The letters of the 12th from Barcelona, written by the secre-
tary of General Mina, announced that he was at the puiut of
death at the departure of the courier.
