SEVILLE, Dec. 12.—The accounts we• continually receive
from Old Castile, gad which bring the details of the late ac-
tion of the Duke DEL Peanut, are most honourable to our
troops, though the enemy remained in possession of the field
of battle, and our army was obliged to retire-to the Pins de
Francis. The division of the vanguard alone performed
prodigies of valour, and caused the gamy tbe loss of MO
men. This less may appear very great to those who are le
norant that our troops made three complete discharges within
the distance of half pistol shot. Our loss is mot more than
MOO men in killed, weended, sad prisoners.
