Reports regarding the incidents and conse-
quences of the battle which was fought be-

greatly in the matter of statement according
Is they come from Madrid and Spanish gov

Information, through Perpignan.
All the accounts, however, agree with re-
pect to the main point-that Igualada was
attacked by the united Carlist columns under
Prince Alphonso, and that fighting of most
desperate character ensued and was continued
during space of eighteen hours, portion of
the population assisting in the defence of the
town, while part of the people sympathized
With the Carlists.
