The retreat of ESPARTERO from Estella has been followed by

other disasters. The Carlists passed the Ebro, and sacked the town of Amedo, some distance south of the river; carrying off all the respectable females of the place. ALAIX also was surprised and defeated by another body of Carlists. Since these defeats, more energy has been displayed by the Queen's officers, and the Pretender's forces have been checked in their progress.
