We 111 all alfo hear of a battle at Bill)". The Spanifh army having f.llen back to join Romanas and the Afturian divifions, marched forward on the 6:h, With an avowed intention of attempting to ditlodge the enemy from Bilboa. We have no later news than the afternoon of the 6th, when the Spjniatds Were in full march for Bilboa. Their forte increafed by Romana and the Afturian ar. iry, is eftimated at between thirty and forty thoufand men. When the enemy at tacked Blake at Soronofia, they had twenty five thoufand men. It is probable that they would be increafed fo as to equal thr forienow under Blake. In the mean time Caflanos has changtd his portion, and united his army with tint of Palafox. They ext-nd from SanguefTa, to VilUfranca, and cover Araon. Theii force is ftted to be about twrnty tbouOmd. The pro1 te&ion of the capitol will he confided to BritiOi troops, and the Rftramadura levies, amounting tn between fifty and fixty thouiand men.
