Francisco.— I therefore determined to sterna the place, notwithstandiag that the approaches had not been brought to the crest of the glacis, and the countersearp of the-ditch was still entire. The attack was accordingly made yesterday eveuing in five separate co- Ittmns. consisting of the troops of the 3d and light division', and of Brigadier-General Pack's brigade, The two right columns, conducted by Lient.-Colonel O'Toole, of (belief Cacao's's. and Major Ridge..of the sth regiment, were destined to protect the advance of Major-General 31•Kitinon's brigade, forming the third, to the top of the breach in the tausse Bray wall, and all these, being composed of troops of the 3d division, were under the direction of Lieut.-General Pitton. The fourth column. consisting of the 43d and 524 regiments, and part of the 95th regiment, being of the light division, under the direction of Ma jorsCieneral Craufurd, attacked the breaches on the left, In front of the suburb of ht. Francisco, and covered the left bf die at tack of the principal breach by the troops of the 3d division; mid Brigadier-General Pack was destined with his brigade, forming the sth calcine, to make &Table atincit opoo the south ern face of the fort Besides these five columns, the 94th reed aunt, belooging to the 3d division, descended into the ditch in two colunuri,ou the right of Major-General M'Kinnon's brigade, with a view to protect the descent of that body into the ditch, and its attack of the brenek in the Fame Braye, against the ob stacles which it was kin,* the enemy would construct to op pose their pnsgress'.. . • All these attacks ernithetied; and lliiiatiler-General Pack even surpassed my expeciations, hiviag coaverted his false at tack into a real one ; 'mirth's advanced guard;' under the com mand of Major Lynch, having followed the enemy's troops from the advanced works into the Fausse Braye, where they made prisopers of all opposed to them. Major Ridge, of the 2d battalion of the sth regiment, having escaladed the Fause Bmyesraft, stormed the principal breach in the body of the place, together with the 94th regiment, commanded bi Lieute nant-Celottel Campbell, which had moved along the ditch at the sane time, and had !termed the breach in the Faure Braye, both in front of Majoe-hene al M'Kinnnn's brigade. Thus these regiments not only effectually coVered, the advance from the trenches of Major.Geoeral M'Kinnon's brigade by their first movements and operations, but they preceded tken do the at tack. Major-General Craufurd and Major-General Vandeleur, Mid the troops of the light divition on the left, were likeeise very forward ins that side ; and in• less than half an hour from the time the attack commenced, our troops were is possessien of, and formed on the ramparts of the place, each body ennti guous to the other. The cnerns then eubmitted, having sustained considerable loss in the contest. Our loss was also, lam con. corned to add, severe, particularly in officers of high rank and estimation is this army. Major.heneml M'Kinnon was unfor tenatcly blown up by the accidental explosion of sue of the enemy's expence magazines, close to the breach, after he bad j saliently and successfully led the troops under his command to the attack. Major-General Craufurd likewise received a severe wouni %%bile he was leading on the light diiision to the storm, mid I am apprehensive that I shall be deprived for some time of hisassistance. Major-General Vandeleur was likewise wounded in the same manner, bat not so severely, and he was able to continue in the field. I have- to add to this list Lieutenant-Col. Colborne, of the 524 regiment, and Major George Napier, who led the storming party of the light division, and was wounded on the top of the breach. I hare great pleasure in reporting to your Lordship the uni form gond conduct, spirit of eaterprise, and patience and per. Entrance in the performanee of great labour, by which the ge neral officers, officers, and troops of the Ist, Stl, 4th, and Light Divisions, and Brigadier-General Pack's Brigade, by litmus the siege was carried on, have been distinguished during the Late 9 : erations. Licetenant-heneral Graham assisted me in superin tending the conduct of the details of the siege, besides perform ing the duties of the genera/ officer commending the first division ; and I am much indebted to the suggestions and susistance 1 re ceived from him for the success of this enterprise. The conduct of all parts of the 3d division, in the operation* which they per formed with so much gallantry and exactness oa the evening of the 19th, in the dark, afford the strongest proof of the abilities of Lietitenapt-General Picton and Major-General Mac Kinn6n, by wham they . they were directed and led ; but I beg parti cularly to drew your lordship's attention to the conduct of Llentemust-Colonel O'Tnole of the 24 Cacattores, of Ma p, Ride- of Id battalion sth Foot, of Lieutenant-Co lonel Campbell of the 94th Regiment, of Major Manners of the 74th, and of Major Grey of the 2d battalion sth Foot, who bas been twice wounded during this siege. It is but jug- Mee also to the Sd division to report, that the men who performed the sap belonged to the 43th, 74th, and 88th regiments, under the command of Captain M'Lcod, of the Royal .Engineers, and aptain Thompson, of the 74th, Lieutenant Beresford. of VIE! 88th, and Lientenant Metcalfe of the 4.i , h, and they dis tingetsited themselves not lea in the stone of the place, than they had in the perfornethee of their laborious duty during :lie siege.. I have already reported in my letter of the 9th inst. my the viaduct of Major-General Craufurd, and of Lieut.. Colopel Culberne, and of the troops of the light division in the storm of the redoubt of St. Francisco, on the evening of the Bth last. The conduct of these troop; was equally distinguished throughout the siege, and in tS.e storm, nothing cored exceed the gallantry' with which these brave officers and troops ad. canted aid aecomplished the difficult operation allotted to them, notwithstanding that all their leaders bad fallen.. In parties. torte request your Lordship's attention to the coedect of Ma jar-General Cranfurd, Major-Cenral Vandrleur, Lieutenant. Colonel Barnard of the 95th, Lieutenant-Colonel Colborne, Major Gibbs and Major Napier cf the 52d, and Lieutenant- Colonel 51' Le od of the 43d.

Although. it did not fall to the lot of the troops of the lit and 4th divi..ions to blew thew operation, to their succesefut close, they distingeished themselves throughout their progress, by the patience end perseverance wit which they performed the labours of the siege.

The Adj.-Gen. and the Deputy-Qaarter-Master-Gener. ral, and the officers of their several departments, gave me every assistance throughout this service, as 'cites those of my person ' al staff; and I hare greet pleasure in adding, that, notwith standing the season of the year, and the increased difficulties of procuring bßpplies for the troops, the whole army have been ', well supplied, and every branch oldie service provided for dur ing the late operations, ` by the indefatigable exertions of Mr. Commissary-Genera Bisset, and the - Officers belonging to his department.

The capture capture of Ciudad Rodrigo, is unquestion ably as-great an achievement as has been performed by Lord WELLINGTOM, since he was appointed to the command of the armies in the Peninsula; and, when we couple it with the late gallant affairs of General HILL, it etches both admiration and regret in our minds—atboiration of the undaunted courage of our brave countrymen— , regret that their noble exertions should promise- so little benefit to the tined fim ,slate Crutpleirot Perbiat aze, told in, this deiX • Morning Post, that.-- , " Lord WEL LINGTON has forty-two thousand effective fire .loicks ready to receive the enemy." But what what is 42,000 fireloeks to an army of 100,000, which the French Marshals can now bring against him, in consequence of Secures troops being re- i lieved by the capture of BLAKE, and the fall of Va lencla?—Goverrrment are said to have received in- formation, that 11441010 NT was rapidly advancing .towards Ciudad Rodrigo, and that when Lord WEL . - LINGTON'S dispatches left the army, it was expected I a general action would soon be fought. The Post says " now that Rodrigo 'has fallen, MARMONT may not have an object to justify him in risking a battle. We wish he may think otherwise." Have Me l a little patience rsin Post, and you will e that if the mere conveyance of provisions into Ciu , dad Rodrigo, was an object sufficient to induce MA.II - to risk au engagement, the re-capture of that place will he-considered by that General as a much more powerful incentive. If Lord WELLINGTON I I would not, or rather could not, atop last year to! fight the French Marshals, we see no reason why he should - stop to engage them this. We may be ac cused of Jacobinism, the best. argument which the I ! Ministerial writers have in reserve, for wishing, in opposition to the Ant, that MAnxoNT may not , attack Lerd WELLINGTON, and we hope his Lordship has more prudence than to wait such en attack. But when we express this wish, we Ido it, not from any doubt of the valour of our troops, , or the courage of their gallant leader ; but from a conviction, that the force under 'Lord WELLINGTON' is unequal to that which 111.4nmoArr can bring into the „field; and, therefore, to wish that his Lordship 'should run the risk of sacrificing his army when,from thefear ful odds against him, there is no hope of his eating off victor,displays much more ofjacohinism, than the anx iety we have uniformly expressed for the fate ofour army should they be unfortunately drawn into a general , engagement with the main body of the enemy's troops. The object of the French Marshals has all along been to bring Lord WELLINGTON to this. On the other hand, - it has been his Lordship's study to avoid it.—We trust he will never be induced to depart from this line of policy whatever the hireling prints of IViinisters may say, or even though Ministers themselves shoulti urge him ou to the fatal combat. Yesterday two Anholt Mails arrived, some of the letters received by which concur with the statements in the French Papers, in expressing an expectation that hostilities will be renewed between the Turks and Russians. It is said that the causes•of difference which existed between the British Ministry and the Spanish Govern ment have been adjusted, and the changes which it was wished by this country might take place, are ex pected to be affected before the arrivhl of Mr. Vaug han at Cadiz.
