MY Lesitte•-•I have anxiously waited an °ppm tueity to inform your Lord!hip of the investineot of this pert by the enemy, with a force computed at five or six thou .and men. On thisevening of the kith instant, the veiny was first observed in motion b e tween Figueras and Castiliern, and, on the billeoviog morning, wee in complete possession of the heights thist encompass this bay. On thawisne day st none, a small Ludy of the enemy entered the town of Roam, which, in an instant, was cleared eif its itileilsitents, who either tied to their boats or the citadel fir protection ; but it well-directed tire from the Excellent And Meteor bomb, both w Ulna paint-b;ank shot of the town, obliged the enemy precipitately to retire. On the terse werpeareiree of the enemy, Colonel O'Daly, Goeeritor of this fineness, made applicatiou to me fur asnistatiec, when I immediately reinforced his garrison with the marines of the Esc:diva, with the exceptioli of lit amid twenty-five men, who bad been pre i:onsly detached to Fort Trinite and au offiver and fifty seamen. On the 7th, the enemy took possessiou of several houses and mitts in the rear of the town, us an advanced post, from which he hus beet. reperitedlydoiludgial by the cita del, and the guns and shell* of His Mirjesty's ships in the bay. On the tith, at 110411, observing a body of ali4nelets hard pressed by the enemy from their advanced poste. I .was induced to make a smite from the citadel with the seamen and nutritive, ;mil the officers commanding them, bat the very supe rior force of the eneniy, who endeavoured to sur round its, obliged us to retire, bet not till toy offi cers and men had displayed a spirit and courage which gave me the most lively satisfaction. lam sorry I am obliged by thiS little affair to read your Lordship a return of wounded men. Late on the evening of the gth 1 received from the Governor the unpleasant advice that a large breach was Ma* in the rampart of the citadel by a part of the bulwark fulling dintru, sufficiently ca pacious to admit twenty-five men abreast. I prof fered to the 4,iovernor every instance that the ur gency of the motiseut requeed, aud.directed Cap taiu Collins to inenteltately weigh and place the Meteor as ileac the shoal us possible, to &ilk the breech its the event of an attack. I sent at the same time two boats to enfilade the beach with the ' careinatles ; fortunately the lateuess of the hour precluded the enemy gaining information of the event. The following morning I sent an officer and ' a party of seamen to assist in repairing the breach, ihreeting the seamen and marines Ur the citadel to be employed en the same service. Ily every esee• bun the rampart waa placed in a state of security for the night, the defence of which was entrusted to an Officer said forty seamen, whom I sent on chore for that purpose. On the third Jay I was happy to see the repair completed, and the work as defensible as it was previous to the disaster. On the morning of the 15th instant, at eight o'clock, the enemy made a most resolute assault on the fort Triune, with about two hundred meii, and a reserve of about two thousand to support them. The enemy was bravely repulsed ; but in a moment . again advanced iii greater force, when two of the outer gates were broken open ; but by a most galling aid steady fire of tuusimetry and hand-grenades from the fort, the enemy was is second time obliged to retire with great loss, leav ing their leader, • chief of brigade, and many sitheni, dead under its walls, and the second in command carried off desperately wounded. Ex- petting a third assault would lie made, I threw in a I reinforcement of thirty marines,. with a Captain and subaltern, by means of u rope ladder, which i was effected without loss, and with nee mats but slightly-wounded, during au mersaant fire of trills.. tilleffY• I cannot speak in terms of sufficient praise of 1 the officers and men in their glorious defence of Fort T 'te, on which eccalion five marines were wounded, and one Spailiard ; but I have the Wis. • -it • -! **. .'

Duke id . Dalniatia's corps, came up with the advanced guard on the 3d. At 4 p. m. it reached the rear-guard of the English, who were upon the heights Or Prierof, 8 league before Villa F ranee, constating of 5000 in fantry and 600 cavalrv. This position was a very tine panicle, and dillicult to attack. General Merle made his dispositions. The infantry ad• vanced, beat the charge, and the English were en- tirely routed. The difficulty of the ground did not permit the cavalry to charge, and only :200 prisoners were taken. We had wine fifty men killed or wounded. General Colbert advanced to we if the cavalry could form—his hour was arrived; • ball 'track him on the forehead, and he lived but • 1 • quarter of an hour. There are two roads from Aritorga to Villa 1 Franca. The English took the right, the Spaniards the left. They marched without order—were cut off and surrounded by the Hanoverian Chasseurs. A General of Brikide and a whole division laid down their arms. . Since the i7th ult. we have taken more thatt 10,000 prisoners, among whom are 1500 English; we ha l ve taken also wore than •00 baggage wag. goon, 15 waggons of firelocks."their magaalaem and hospitals.—The English retreat in disorder, leav ing magazines, sick, wounded, slid equipage.— They will esperience a still greater los.vand if they be able to embark, it is probable it will not be without the loss of half their army.

But for the presence of His Nlajesty's skips in that Bay, and the powerful assistance which Cap tain West, with the companies of those ships, af forded the Spaniards, both on shore and by this tire front them, there is every reason to'believe the cita del of Hoses and castle of the Trinity would both leave fallen ; they were ill provided with every thing necessary to a siege ; the works of the citadel in had repair, and the garrison not sufficiently nu merous for the duties of its defence. Captain West's ability, and the valour and per severance of his officers and into, removed as many of those defects as it was possible, and gave such severe cheeks to the enemy, as made it Mee*. sary they should proceed by rules of art against a place that with their great force they intended to take by a coup-de-main, which has given ample time for the Spanish Government to reinferce the 4 urritanti, and replenish the stores, &c. of this im portant post.
