Outrageous Robbery.-rhe indignation
which the event has occasioned, and the
incorrect manner III which it has been
narrated, have induced inquiries, which
have resulted in the following facts, which
we publish on the best authority.

10 the Philippine Company, before that

ceeds Of his cargo, was intercepted, rob

having repeatedly declared that it was

The troops in our centre, notwAhstaAo-

our troops, 10 the most audaCious style,
executing their movements with the best
discipline, surrounded the whole oi the
enemy's corps. The squadron oi the

forts Of The Spanish general were una

destroyed Il corps Oh cavalry in re-
serve, waited for ours, with their lances

above SO men, with some officers OF cav

Gen. Sautander, with the advance and
the guides OF reserve, proceeded Instantly
in pursuit Of the lugitives to this place !;
and gen. Anzuategui with the rest Of the
army, remained during the night on the
field of battle; the advantages obtained
by the republic in yesterdays glorious
victory, are incalculable.
Our troops never gained more deci-

opposed TO troops better disciplined, or
better commanded.
Nothing is comparable to the intrepid

made prisoners, the main body of the
enemy to him we are 10 great measure
