The Englifh and Gafcons now mounted their horfes, and went in purftiit of the Spaniards; who were flying in difipay, as far as Najara* There was much daughter md effufion of blood at the entrance * D« Sauvage will have It Navarete ; but I think it mufl be Najara, for they would never run away towards Navarete, but on the contrary towards their own homes. The battle was fought between Najara and Navarete. A river runs by Najara, none by Navarete. The Ebro is not far datant ; but, If they had croffed that river, there would have been mention made of Logrono j and beCde*, th.ey would then have been in an enemy's country. of 5«5
