RAMON, COUNT DE MORELLA, and DUKE DE LA VICTORIA, a celebrated Car list general, B. in Catalonia, Spain, in 1810. He early distinguished himself in the civil war between the Car lists and Christ i nos, 1835-8, and became notorious for the bloody vengeance he wreaked upon all the Christ i nos who fell into his hands, in retaliation for the execution of his mother by Gen. Mina. In 1838, he was created Count de Morella by Don Carlos, in commemoration of his capture of that fortre , and of his distinguished services to the cause generally. Compelled, in 1840, to take refuge in France, he was arrested and imprisoned at Ham, but regaining his liberty, he strongly opposed the abandonment by Don Carlos of his claims in favor of his son, the Count de Monte mol in. In 1846 he repaired to London, in the hope of doing something for the Car list cause. He next attempted to effect a rising in the N.E. provinces of Spain, but without succe . After the French revolution of 1848, he again landed in Spain, raised the Car list standard, and, with but few followers, fought the battle of Pasteral, June 27, 1849, when, having been badly wounded, he was again obliged to take refuge in France. After living some years in retirement, C. joined the Car list movement in Spain, 1873-75, and in March of the last-named year gave in his adhesion to the new king, Alphonso XII. D. 1877.
