The Carlists have been going up in the world. General
Dorre- garray has certainly won something like a real victory at Eraul, in the province of Navarre. We have an Englishman's account of the victory sent to the Pall Mall Gazette, and he declares it to have been complete, sixty-four prisoners having been brought into camp and three guns captured, though two of the guns had to be abandoned, owing to their weight. The Royalists estimated their whole loss at 300. This happened last week. Since then the Carlists have claimed another great victory on the 9th in Arragon, and the Royalists claim one, place not exactly men- tioned, on the 8th. It is said that General Velarde refused battle in Catalonia, fearing the superior forces of the Carlists, and has gone to Igualada. The engagements are all on a toy scale, and if there were any real army in Spain would be of no importance. But, as it is, the waxing of the Carlist force is not of good omen.
