and willingness in the management of the troops he had under
his charge, maneuvering them with the greatest boldness and
rapidity in firing. During the four hours that the action lasted

were fired from seven cannon; for, although at first, the number
was eleven, two had been taken by the enemy and two dismounted.
I recommend the sergeant of the royal artillery, Brevet-Alferes
Don Francisco Castro, who likewise fought and was injured; and
the lieutenant-colonel of the army, Don Ignacio Elizondo, com-
mander of the left wing, who conducted himself with the greatest
courage and bravery. In addition to the movements which this
report records him as leading, he worked hard to encourage the
troops under his command, and distinguished himself particularly
by the success with which he led out his cavalry against the enemy,
managing in every particular with the greatest skill. I recom-

Alcala, Don Manuel Zozaya, Don Miguel Paredes (who was
wounded), Don Jose Maria Torralba, Don Jos6 de Jesis Rodriguez,

Andr6s Farfas, who volunteered to join the expedition and was allowed to
do so by Arredondo, is included at this point in the copy sent to the viceroy
in 1817; but, since the name occurs earlier in the list, this repetition must
have been by oversight.
