Another Bloody Battle. The Insurgents again DC
torious.-We are in possession of reliable Information
from the camp of the lnsurgent army, which states
that there had been another bloody engagement be-
tween the insurgents and the government forces be-
fore the city of Victoria. From what We can learn,
it seems that Gov. de la Cara besieged in Vic
toria by a regular force of 1000 men. The besiegers
condng in their discipline and vastly superior num-
bers, charged the breastworks OF the besieged with
thoughts of easy victory. The numbers within the
breastworks were small in comparison to their as
sailants-numbering, all told, not exceeding 700
men-but they were buoyed with a determination
founded in the sacredness of their cause and met their
enemies in the true spirit of freemen. Three differ.
ent charges were made upon the triple entrench-
ment, and each time the enemy repulsed with
heavy loss. The nsurgent statement estimates the
loss in killed and wounded on the part of the enemy,
at 400 and are told that the officers OF the regu.
lars themselves acknowledge a loss of 100 men.
The fight, informed, continued for three days,
when the night of the third day, the insurgents,
having exhausted their ammunition and being out of
provisions, abandoned the city. This they were
allowed to do without opposition, taking with them
all their artillery save two pieces OF heavy caber,
which could not be removed anu which they 81 liked.
In these engagements some or 10 officers are said
TO have been killed disabled, and among the killed
the gallant Lieut.. Col Lamadrid. of the regiment of
Tres Villas. The loss the side of the patriots is
said 10 have been very trif1ing. This whole affair
