FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

SPAIN

.(From the Standard.)
We have accounts from Bilboa to the 6th instant, at which
time the garrison .still held out. On the morning of the sth,
Espartero made a movement to relieve that town, but Eguia
and Villareal being- on the watch, seized the opportunity, and
gave the Christino Gerieral battle. The action lasted the whole
of the day, at the elose.of which, Espartero was forced to retire
from all his position;, though he had been protected by the fort
of Desierto, the steam-boats, ctialoupes, Btc. His numerical
loss is not mentioned, but it is said to be very great, of which
there can be no doubt, considering the murderous fire which
the Carlists kept up for so long a time. Many of the Christinos
were drowned in endeavouring to swim away to a place of safety.
While this combat was going on. the Izarrison made a sortie, but
they were immetljately repulsed with considerable loss. - A fe-
male messenger was arrested as she was leaving Bilboa esth a
dispatch for General i;spartero. This communication was from
General San Miguel, *llich stated that if Espartero did not go
to the assistance of Billloa in two days, he should be obliged to
capitulate.—his provisions and ammunition being nearly ex-
hausted. The next letter will. no doubt bring the issue of this
long pending contest. The revolutionary feeling is fast spread-
ing in Catalonia, which seems likely to lead to another separa-
tion. ShoUts of " the Sovereign People," have been echoed
and re-echoed at Barcelona, accompanied by the vocalisation of
"patriotic hymns," and other demonstrations of a like ten-,
dency.
The debates in the Cortes are becoming very animated. The
sittings of 'the 4th and sth were entirely occupied with discus-
sing the report of the committee on the extraordinary measures
demanded by the government. Much opposition was manifested
the various speakers to the proposition, which seemed to
raffle the temper of Senor Calatrava, who expressed great sur-
prise that the asked-fot grant of " extraordinary power" should
be resisted in the way it had been. Senor Calatrava did not
attempt to conceal the fact that the disturbed state of the
country demanded it; and without the Cortes would yield to
the government solicitation, ministers must at once resign. The
discussion had not terminated when the report left Madrid.

AGMY OF THE NORTH—DIVISION OF THE ADVANCED GUARD.
OSUNA, Nov. 27.—1 wrote to you from Arcos, on the 26th, to
acquaint • you 'in a few words with -the news of the victory ob-
tained over Gomez and his whole force on the 25th ; I then
hoped to give you a detailed account on the following day of
the action; but you will conclude, from the date of the present
dispatch, that I have had scarcely time enough to arrive here,
even by forced tuaches. At the head of the cavalry and the
`3d division, I am pursuing Gomez, who has with him only 4(X)0
or 5000 men, worn-out with fatigue and the rapidity of their
flight. He is gone to pass the night at Estepa, and I hope to
be able to' come up with him to-morrow. His soldiers, who
formed a corps of 14.000 men, are now wandering about in all
directions, and falling into the hands of the National Guards,
and the authorities of the different boroughs.
GENERAL NARVAEZ.

(Private Correspondence of the Morning Post.)
CA MP BavoirE B maim, Dac. s:—Eks day dawned this morn-
ing ( Monday)' it was seen that the Christinos had removed their
grand bridge of boats between Portug,aletta and the sands of
Algorta, not in imitation of Pizarro when he disembarked his
conquering army on the shores of America, but simply with the
design of laving it across the His Nervia higher up, opposite the
Convent of Desierto, more convenient for his escape into that
stronghold. Lest they should escape without a battle Villareal
and Egtria- descended into the plain at. sunrise, and, throwing
forward their guerillas, commenced an attack on the whole
Christino force then in possession of the Palacio of Asua, and
all the north-east side of that village, and also of Sondica,
Logue, and Erandio. I have just returned, after witnessing
the day's operations, and have only light and time left to inform
you that the Carlists have gained a complete victor_y—have
driven the Christinos successfully out of Asua, Sundica, Brandin,
and Lugua; in short, up out of the valley occupied by them
since Wednesday, to take refuge in the precipitous heights of
Ondis and Lejona, opposite the convent of Desierto, where a
itew bridge is prepared for them, to recross to the Portugalette
side. They have (as we learn from several Christino officers
who have passed within these few days to the service of the
mountain King) 1.2,000 infantry, 150 cavalry, and five pieces of
cannon, viz., one piece of twelve pounds, belonging to the forti-
tiCations of La Desierto, and four four-pound held-pieces, but
they have not fired a shot front one of the five, keeping them
on the heights of Algorta and Lejona to protect their retreat,
and very naturally fearful they would be captured in the valley.
Orrasa is also in command with Espartero, Escaleta leads the
first division; the Baron de la Met- the second. Carandolet
led the cavalry with his usual bad success. The Carlists had
none here except the 1-Ith Lancers, who formed General
Eguia's body-guard ; but with these Lord I.anelagii gallantly
charged the Christino tirailleurs, and returned unhurt al-
though his horse was wounded. I have seen thirty-three
prisoners brought in, who surrendered in a strong auntie
(farm-house.) which they held till 25 others were killed in it.
I know not how many more have fallen or taken ; but 1 hear
that the Carlist loss is very slight, although they were very much
exposed. the generals and their staffs as much as the rest. The
horses of Villareal and Goni also felt the fire. These moan-
taineers are really fine fellows. I saw several of these guerillas
stand to-day to fight single-handed with the Christino Lancers,
who charged them. The latter suffered severely. One serious
charge was made against a crowd of guerillas, who were ad-
vancing against A randia. Villareal and his staff happened to
be there at the moment, and when the guerillas were retreating
as usual to their own battalions, the General and his officers
waving their swords, shouted to them to stand and face them,
as they did. The guerillas replied with "Vivas," stood their
ground every man of them, unformed as they were, and took
such good aim at the lancers that several men and horses fell,
and the rest retreated instantly. From that moment the Car-
lists
carried everything triumpantly. It is expected that Es-
partero
will retreat to-night or to-morrow morning to Desierto.
MONDAY NIGHT, Dec. 5 —I open my letter to say that while
the Carlists were beating Espattero on his own ground in the
volley, the garrison of Bilboa made a sortie on the site of Bego-
but, after having taken two houses and set them on fire,
were repulsed and driven into the city with loss, by the valiant
Alavere, in reserve upon Sopelana.
SAN SIMIASTIA x, Dec. 6.—The contractors who-, under gua-
rantee of the Provincial Deputation, have hitherto supplied the
wants of General Evans's 9030 or 1003 men, have declared that
