BAvoNate, SEPT. 20.-On the 'morning of the 13th General
Oraa marched out of Mendabia with a column of 5000 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
' di7lltim little harm.- He immediately resolved to detach a body
of 2000 infantry to the heights of the Hermitage of San Gregerio,
which wet e in the-possession of the Carlists, and Which welt (le-
fendedby. the 6th battalion of Navarre, and 250 of the Algerine
deserters. 'The attack began by the Christinos sending on seve-
ral detatchinents in front of the,-force under cover of their fire.
These detatchments were repulsed by the Carlists. The engage-
ment soon became general, the vollies being sustained in turn
by the companies for nearly two hours. The determined cou-
rage of the sixth battalion of Navarre, and the Algerines, how-
ever, compelled the Christinos to cease the attack, and to re-
tire to Los Arens, leaving 30 dead on the field; their: wounded
amounted to $0 men. The Carlist loss was 20 killed and 60
wounded. The Christinos pillaged on. the same day, several
houses, which had been deserted by their occupants (on the ap-
proach of the troops,) who had ilea to the mountains. On the
I,lth Oraa marched with his columns towards Arroniz, where the
CarliA General Dun J. Garcia was stationed with the Ist. 2d,
and 31 battalions of Navarre Guides; the 4th reformed, and the
7th, 9th, 11th, and 12th regiments, the sth regiment of • Biscay-
aus, the 34 of Castile, anitthree.squadrons of cavalry, with two
pieces of artillery, were also under General Garcia's command.

Lebean, the first nembering 1500 infantry, 701) horse, and two
guns, the second the two battalions of Ale•iers, five battalions of
troops.of the line, one of Chapeigoris, and a squadron of
horse, marchal from. Leda and Larrago to join Orates column
in the real from Sesma to Arruniz. The three generals marched
iu front to t ;it last p6int.
At nine in the morning the fire began at the entrance of
Arroniz ;7it 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 Montejura. The village.
of Arroniz• was pillaged, and several houses were burnt. Two
pieces of Artillery were • placed by the Christiuos on the Her-
mitage and on the heights of Arroniz. The numerous 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, arnongst whom were ten. officers of
all grades, and'-10,) wounded, amongst whom are 12 officers and
a colonel.:. They have lost also about 5)) prisoners. It is said
that the loss of the Christinos is 160 men killed, of whom five
are officers, and at least three hundred wounded, who were
transported to Lerin and Puente la Reyna on the 19th of this
month.

On the night of the 14th the constitutional troops entered the
villages of Dicastello, Afellano, Maniac, and Alberin, in the
valley of Solana. On the 15th, after. havingpillaged the houses
of the families which had fled, they burnt ten houses in Mimi-
ani, and went to Oveza, about a league and a half from Estella,
iii hopes to explore, on the 16th, the villages of Cirangui and
Manera, and some other points of the Carlist line. On the 13th
and 14th, the tribunals and Carli?t juntas quitted the town of
Estella, with all their most precious effects. A detachment of
5(1 men only remained in the fortress of Piu; all the sick and
wounded of the hospital of Troche 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-
peared before the Carlists in Estella. General Garcia gave
them the reward which he had promised for such an attempt.
General Iturralde went to surrender himself 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
ou the 16th. He had but three battalions with him.

tary of General 11iva, announced that he was at the point of
death at the departure of the courier.
