The last accounts from Spain mention an extraordinary achieve- ment
of a Brigadier-General FLisma, an Irishman in the Royal service, who, it is reported, surprised a numerous body of Carlists, and after a severe action, took 2,000 prisoners, his own force amounting only to 500 men. The battle was said to have been fought at Yebenes, a village in the province of Toledo. The same accounts were received at Madrid and Bayonne, from which latter place they were transmitted by telegraph to Paris.
