THE CARLIsrs HAVE NO GENERAL

Suppose that Don Carlos and Cabrera collected
together their forces, which number 10000 in
Navarro, 1000 in Blscay 1000 In Alava, 10000
in Catalonia and 5000 IN other provinces,
making total or 10000, and descended

the columns, the battalions and companies which
are scattered everywhere chasing the CarlistsS
There are 1000 regular troops at Vittoria, under
Bregur, at this present moment. Gardin and La
PortIIa together have 1900. At Tafalla, Tudela,
Logrono and Pampeuna are $500; Miranda 500; San
Sebastian, Irun and Bilbao $780, At Burgos, VAL
