Certain intelligence of the movements f Don S ',BASTIAN has
been received, On the 24th of May he rrachea Huesca, a coil-
'
siderable town in Arragon, North of the Ebro. IRRIBARREN, at the head of the Christine troops, attacked the Carlists on the same day ; but was repulsed, with the loss of 400 men, and forced to retire to some distance. He was also severely wounded; and EUERENS went from Saragossa to replace him. General LEON, a gallant Christine officer, was killed in this engagement. Doti SEBASTIAN, who was also slightly wounded, after his success commenced fortifying Huesca; but subsequently abandoned it, and marched in the direction of the South-east to Barbastro- with the intention, it is supposed, of establishing himself in Catalonia. The Queen's troops immediately occupied Huesca. ESPARTERO remained at Hernani when the last accounts were despatched ; though it was said that, at the earnest solicitation
of Colonel WYLDE, he was about to renew active operations. There is nothing in this intelligence to warrant the expectation that the civil war is drawing towards a close: it appears to have been removed in part from Biscay and Navarre to Arragon, to be carried thence into Catalonia.
