LIST Of May,. announce an engagement on the
frontiers of Sallcia between the Spaniards and

of numbers charged them, and compelled them
to re cross the frontier. The Militia carried
away by their ardour, penetrated, on their re-

number of them were made prisoners. Ii is
supposed that this affair would necessarily lead
TO commencement OF hostihtes.
