Excerpt from The Most Striking Events of a Twelvemonth's Campaign With Zumalacarregui in Navarre and the Basque Provinces IT is now twa years since the insurrection of the Basque Provinces commenced, and the remnant of an expiring faction, as it was termed, hunted like a band of robbers amongst the mountains, repenting that it had ever embraced the cause of an outlawed Prince, has already swelled, as all sides admit, into an imposing party.
