I also ordered foul companies . of Bar hastro and the tiraillcurs to proceed to the van-guard, and re coo.mitre the ground on the right, the left, and the centre; but observing that the attack. was well sustained on different points, I determined that the companies of Barbastro, as well at the grenadiers, should support the van guard. The resistaace of the enemy was most obstinate; but after an action of three h..!lrs and a half, in which they lost from $5O to 400 men in kined, %% minded, and prisoner.:, they were obliged to retire pre (ipiiatelv, leaving on the field of battle knapsacks, Nils, and pine iomnunition waggon. Part of the regiment of Barbastro, with the Colonel at its head, and the tirailleurs, passed the stone bridge, charging with the bayonet those who rem ained,.and routing them in every direction. In consequence of this, I pro ceeded to take possession of Bilboa, which, without suffering 'lnv thing, was witness of the action, and caused to revive in its irlinhitants, an inexpressible joy and satisfaction at seeing them selves free from the cruel oppression in which they had lived during the inCamous domination of the French.
