to death under the silent attack, of disease, with
none of the inspiring attendants that should
brighten the last «.omei|ts of the warrior, ia a fate
cheerless and gloomy. And such liaa been the

VICTORY OF MINA.
The following account received at Boston, ap.
pears in such a ah .pc that we are inclined to placi
some reliance in it, particularly as the situation of
Mina by our previous advices led us to expdet a
speedy rencontre. These dates from the nor
thern pert of Spain are much later than before re-
cetved It ie to be regretted that no papers were
received by this arrival, but the Journal as kept
by the captain affords mure authority to his state
ment, than would be attached to the usual verbal
reports. St Andero, the port from whence the
Canton sailed, is situated on the Bay of Biscay, in
the province of Astrereas—latitude 43 30 N.
The Canton arriv ed at St. Andero the
2Pth of A'prii, on which day Gen- Louga
entered the place at the head of 300 militia,
in opposition to the constitution, and im
mediately pulled down the atone on which
was inscribed, “Long live the Constitu
tion,” and set up another in its place, on
which was engraved “Long live Ferdinand
VII."
On the 3d of May, 3000 French troops
under Gen. Dabria, entered. St Andero
destined to Madrid. Two days after, they
quitted St. Andero, leaving the Spanish
General Louga to keep out the Constitu
tionalists- At 10 o’clock at night, One of
Louga’s spies brought intcliigenco that a
party of Constitutional troops were within
six leagues of the place. Louga imme
diately embarked his troops in boats, and
crossed tu the opposite side of the Bay
leaving upwards of one hundred stands of
arms
On the 8th Gen. Louga again entered
the town with his men, supported by a-
body of French troops in hia rear. On the
lOlh the French troops entered the town
to the number of 15.000, and at 6 P.- M.
lets it and marched towarda St Antonio, t
attack that place in co-operation with a
French squadron, which was blockading it.
St. Antonio is about six leagues asst of St.
Andero, and is a very strongly fortified
place. The garrison consists ol 3000 con
stitutional troops, commanded by good offi,
ccrs, ail of whom have sworn neverto sur
render.
On the 15th or.e of the brigs of the
blockading squadron, whirh consists of
two ships of the line, or.e frigate, one cor
vette, and three brigs, came into the harbor
of St. Andero and left again- on the 18th
but in going out lost both masts by the
hoard in a gust of wind. She was towed
iff by the boats of the squadron,
On the 20ih, intelligence was received by
post, confirmatory of a previous report of
the defeat of the French army near Catalo
nia, by llie Spanish forces under General
Mina. The battlo was fought within a tew
leagues of Catatonia. The two armies
were said to consist of 23,000 men each.
The loss, of the French it stated at 5,000
men, and that of the Spanish at 9,300
Captain F. further states that he saw a copy
of the (Spanish) official account of the bat
tie, which represented the French to have
been completely defeated.
On this day (2Qtb) the men under Gene
ral Louga were all token prisoners by a
party trom St. Antonio, which also captur
ed a detachment of the French troops,
about 200 in number, together With from
400 to $00 mules, laden with ammunition
and stores uf various kinds, with about glO,
000 in mosey, ail intended lor the French
army, which was supposed to be besieging
Su Antonio.
On the 24ib it was reported at St. Ande
ro that the Constitutional troops were within
two leagues of tbat place, and, m conse
quence, all those opposed tp the conttttu
nun immediately left and crossed to the
opjjSosite Ihore.
The Canuin left the harbor at 4, P. M-
and at -3, P. Jaw’the'French squadron

Aboottwelvp o’clock on a clear pleasant
day, we met the enemy. - The actioh won’,
became general, and was severely felt, es
pecially on board tbs. Lawrence, the; flag
ship, two of the enemy’s largcet„vesseli en
gaged bet, at a.abort distance, ,ibr 'nearly
two bourti part of which time the men fell
on board other faster than they could be
taken below. ‘The vessel being shallow
built, affoided np cockpit or place of shel
ter fair the wounded; they were therefore
received on the ward room floor, which was
.about onjt level with the surface' oi the wa
ter.. Bpior only rime or ten feet square,
this* floor was soon covered, which made it
necessary to pass the wounded out into
nother apartment as fast as" (be bleeding
could be staiibched either by ligatures or
tourniquet.—Indeed this wah ail tbat was
attempted lor their benefit during the en-
jgement, except that in some instances
vision was mado of a small portion ol flesh,
by yvbich a dangling limb, that annoyed the
patient, was hanging to the body. Seve
ral, after receiving this treatment, were a-
gain wounded, among whom was midship
man Lamb, who was moving from me with
a tourniquet on the arm, When he received
a cannon ball in the chest; and a seaman.
Brought down with both arms fractured,
was afterwards struck by a cannon bail: in
both lower extremitu a. '
An hour’s engagement bad so far swept
the deck, that new appeals for surgical aid
were less frequent; there was a remission at
this time, very desirable both to the wound-,
ed and m/aeli; for the repeated request of
the Commodore, to spare him another man,
had taken from me the last one, I bad to
to assist in inovuig the wounded; in . fact,
many ol the wounded themselves took the
deck again at this critical moment. Out
prospects nevertheless darkened, every new
visitor from the deck bringing tidings still
more dismal than the last, till finally ti was
announced that wc had struck. The effect
ol tms on tho wounded was distressing in
the extreme; medical aid was rejected; and
Uule else could be heard from them', than
“sink the ship”— 1 “let us all sink (Blether "
But this state ol despair was short. The
Commodore who was still unhurt, had gone
on board the Niagara,_aitd with the small
vessels bearing down'upoo the enemy, soon
brought down the flags of their two heaviest
snips, and thus changed the horrors of de
feat into shouts of Victory. But all the
wounded were not permitted to mingle in
the joy. Tho gallant Brooks, and some o
titers were no more. They were too much
exhausted by their wounds to survire the
contusion that immediately preceded this
happy trapsitipu.
.The action terminated shortly after three
o'clock; and of about one bundled men re
ported fit for duty in the morning, twenty
one were found dead, and sixty-three wound
ed, The wounded arteries occupied my
first alleniiun, all which, exccpt'whcream
putation was required, were rendered sc.
cure before dark.—(Having no asaituiU(thc
surgeon on board with me being very sick)
I deemed it safer to defer amputating till
morning, and ia the mean time suffered the
tourniquets to remain on (he limbi. No
thing more was done through the night
than to ad|ninis'ter oplates and preserve shat
tered limbi in a umlortn position.—vAt day
light a subject was op the table for, ampu.
tation of the thigh, and at eleven o’clock ail
imputations were finished. The impatience,
of this class of the wounded to meet the ope
ration, rendered it necessary to take (bem
in the same succession in which ibey fell.—
The compound and.simple.fractures were
next attended to, then luxation, laceratious
and contusions, ali’whiclt occupied my time
till twelve o’clock at oigbt. - - ' 1
The day following 1 visited the wounded
oi the Niagara, Who had lain tiUThat. time
with wounds undressed. "I found the Sur
geon sick in bed, with bands too ’feeble to
execute the dictates ol a fueling heart

The 'recovery ,of so grest s proportion
of life wounded, may, in a great nnasure,
be attributed to the following causes!,'F rut,
to the purity of the air- The patients were
ranged along orithe upper deck, with no
other shelter from llie weather that) a high
awning to shade'then}.'’ They continued
in this situation for a fortnight, at d when
taken on shore, were placed in very spa-
eiuus apartments, well ventilate^. Sec. nd-

servations which Lhasa been able to tnuko
on the wounded, of three engagements, ha vet " i
convinced me, that this state of mind has a ,
better effect tbsn has generally been suppo

was a volunteer soldier among the Kentuc

the Sect during the action. After the ac
tion he rendered, t(io wqunded every aid in
bis power, continuing with tbem- three
months. And the Commodore, seemed
quite as solicitous for their . welfare, as he
could possibly have felt for the success at ’
the battle.
