aThe battle OF Medelin has been the most
bloody one fought this war--the enemy had
"a cannons, we 10; theirs very badly served
ours discharged for the space of two hours
and an half, continual shower OF grape
Our infantry charged with bayonel up to the
very walls of the houses of the village in
pursuit of the enemy. Theimperial guards
fed, as well as general Victor at the head
of his staff The marine battaIions and the
Spanish guards, have covered themselves
with glory-they threw away their muskeis,
and Selling hold of their bayonets by the
handle, they fell upon, stabbed, overthrow
and pent up, the invincibles. If our caval-
ry had not fallen back, it would have been
the most memorable battle of the campaign.
Nevertheless, the enemy has now seen to
his sorrow, what we are. Much blood has
been split: eleven thousand dead on both
sides, covered the banks OF the Guadlana:
they have lost upwards Of seven thousand,
and we nearly four thousand men.
"As the right wing was abandoned by the
cavalry, all the centre, composed OF the IN
fantrv, had considerably the advantage, and
was advancing in pursuit Of the enemy, 1t
was necessary to retreat, to avoid the enemy
from outaanking the army. At o'clock
in the afternoon of Wednesday, the 29th
Of March (the day of the battle) the enc
my's cannonading ceased, and both armies
have retired to their respective positions,
leaving the field Of battle in the middle,
neither of the armies remained masters OF
it.
Although we have not gained much
vet we have lost nothing by it; on the con-
trary, we have obtained some advantage.
namely, that of making head against the e.
nemy, and causing them to fly The re-
treat of the cayrlay it appears, was owing to
mistake, at least withrespect to those re-
riments who followed that Of Maria Loui-

ders to retreat. Gen. Cuesta retreated with
his army toVlllanueva to rest his troops !;
he afterwards proceeded with his staff to
Campillo, TO re-unite hisscavalry, partially
dispersed, and he informs having already
accomplished this.
