• Towards the evening, by good luck, quite unex-
• pected, the wind had changed suddenly, and blew
with such violence from the east, that the fleet, af-
ter having passed the night in vain efforts, was
obliged to lnff and bear away on the 22d. In the
course of the night the commander in Chief visited
the coast and made himself the various dispositions of
' the troops.
1 At the same time Gen. Ilarispe, at the head of the
! 2d division, had advanced before
.Al,coy, in pre-
; acme of the Army of Murcia i the first brigade -to
Castella, under res• orders of General Delort, and
the second to Ibi, commanded by Colonel Mesilop. i
General Ilarispe, foreseeing the attack, had cho-
sen a. central position, where the troops were to
• rendrzous and receive it. From the former even-
ing the movements of the enemy were known, and
the necessary arraugernents made.. On the 21st,

Delort, who, porsnant to his instructions, retired

the cantps.of I3iar and Oluir. No sooner was the
first shot fired than Colonel Mesilop, whose troops
were ready, and under arms, marched to join Gene-
ral D!lort, when he was himself attacked by a corps
cf 6000 men, commanded by the English General
Roche, whri had come by Xixona. With the as-
sistance of the guns in the little fort 'of Ibi, with the
voltigeurs of the 44th, and a handful of cuirassiers,
he stops the progress of the enemy as'they are pass-
ing a ravine,. and repulses them ; but, faithful to his
orders, he leaves some companies to- cbserve the mo-
tions of the enemy with the garrison of the fort, and
proceeds immediately to the field of battle, while
General Harispe Is calling in from Alcoy the re-
serve of the artillery and the cuirassiers/ and the.
flank companies of the 116th.
• General O'Donttel had made a brisk attack. Ge-
neral Delort, who had taken up an advantageous
position, kept up a heavy and severe fire with his
artillery. The 21th dragoons, when they arrived on
the right, hung upon the left wing of the enemy,
who were much harassed in consequence, and
brought up two field pieces against the cavalry as
they marched. In the mean time, Colonel Mesilop
having arrived en the left, General Delort did
