The intelligence from the seat of war in Spain this
week is very scanty. According to the last accounts, General EvArss continued to occupy his position near Ernani. The Carl 1st General, EGUI A, Wb0 had collected a large body of troops at Ernani, with the inten- tion of attacking the British Legion, suddenly marched away uith the main body of his army on the 11th instant. It is supposed that, according to a combined plan of operations, CORDOVA had effected this diversion in favour of General EVANS. The recruiting for the French auxiliary legion was proceeding rapidly, and a very large force must soon be in active operation against the insur- gents from three different quarters. We shall probably soon hear of another important battle being fought, as the Carlists are strong enough to encounter the Queen's army in the plains. The Madrid newspapers speak in high terms of the gallantry of the British troops in the affair of St. Sebastian.
