" MONgEIGNEUR—Tbe General sent me a flag of truce—l refused to receive it—the breach was practicable. On the 23d and 24th the enemy continued to fire with from 30 to .35 pietes of cannon. He destroyed all the fronts of the bott , es From' the 'Aureola to St."Ehne, and opened ttN:O new breaches. I was assured that the second was practicable, and the third much less so. From the 2.2(1 he set tire to the town at several points; and kept it up by the continual throwing of bombs; the town had already suffered much. This morning, the 25th, at four o'clock, the enemy took adVantage of the pipe for the convey ance of the water (rota the fountain of the town, to establish a mine, with which' be blew up the place of arms, which entered the envered - Upon this signal, some columns of attack were put in motion., The direction of the fire from its batteries, amil the 24th, made me presume,. I should be attacked during that night, or in the morning; and `I iaade my dispositions accordingly. Every , where the enemy was received with the greatest vigour all who reached the breathes were killed or' wounded ; the columnS which had distributed themselves in the covered way were quickly driven from, and prevented from establishing themselves This deed .of arms . does the greatest ho- - nottr to 4 the garrison of St, Sebastian and I shall have the-honour of acquainting your-Excellency, in my frrit report, of the names of the brave men who. particularly distinguished themselves. I estimate that the English have lost front 14 t-0-1400 men in the breaches, or in the covered way, fvom the fire of artillery howitzers, and shells which were thrown on them near the Fausse Braye of St,-Jean's Bastion, or on approaching the br.eaches.• • The , J , English General asked me to bury his dead ; granted an hour. 1 have brought in 581 wounded, of whom 13 are officers, and those found upon the breach, or at she toot of it, be sides 237 prisoners. The enemy carried off his mgrs distant wounded. The wounded assure us, the enemy had fifty officers killed, 'of whom the Major-General commanding the first column was one. on it. 1 write in great haste to your Excellency.— 'Marshal the Duke of Dalmatia has done me the bonour of informing me, that be would put him self in motion in order to deblockade us as well as Pamplona.

At break of day I ordered the hoops to match ; the ,divisions of the left, - commanded ,by Lientenanl=Oetieral Clausel, fpllowed:the road Which leatl4 to. Pam -phina ; the advanced guard came in_coritact with the first enemy's posts before Viscaretc, and drove them to the heights before .Zuherg, where they rallied upon their line ; the difficulty of.the road, '1 `and a thick fog which began in the morning, re tarded our March, therefore it was already late when the head of the column Was able to seize the heights that are before Linscoin and D'Erro, where there was a trifling engagement ; but I-did not judge it p`roper to attack the enemy's position ti;is evening, where they have nearly 15 ; 000 men, of whom 9 or 10,000 are two English division s , and the, reuntinder Spanish. They also shored some pieces of artillery. • . . Lieutenant-General Count Reille was, after having. forced the position of Lindres, to Ma noeuvre on his right, keeping the, crest of the mountains; to successively seize upon the de houches which open from the.yalley of Bastan, and thuS oblige.the enemy to retire, which would have favoured Count D'Erlon's debottching. This morning at 10 o'clock, the guides were not will ing to conduct him in .that direction ; the fog did not adniit of their distingid s hi ng objects at ten. paces distance ; they leafed to lead the :cold-ulll5 on some precipices, which determined Count Heine to join that of the left at Espin..,i, 1 have es tablished him in the rear of Leozoin ; to -11101 TOW he will form the attack on the left, should the enemy maintain his position. Count d'Erton yesterday wrote me, that at three in the afternoon, agreeably to toy direc , tions, the divisions of the centre had attacked and carried the strong position 'of Col de not withstanding the vigorous resistanou made by the ' enemy. The second divisioo, commanded by. Gen. Darmagnac, evinced, on • this occasion, an extraordinary ardour.. After•this attack, the ene my tfiyided his troops in two ; one de seended the \Talky of Ilastar, the other took the • road of Eckbasar. Count d'Erlon 'ordered 'them tube pursued ; but he afterwasds . thought lit to. countermand that movement, and.. sinus of the centre at Col de Maya. • -The enemy still maintainekl himself upon the Atehiola mOun tains. I regret this unforeseen accident the more, as I had ordered (ouut d'Erlon to manoeuvre to approach me; 1 have just 'reiterated the same order to him. In . this battle, the English have lost many Then. We .have also tab - en from them eight pieces of cannon. They also lost many in the attack made by Count Reille the 10th regiment hh.s been al most destroyed ; a battalion of the Gth light infan try of Foy's division, charged that regiment %with the bayonet, and overthrew it. lit short, they have also lost many in the attack on the mountain of Allavisce, by Gen. Baron Clausel, in which., several officers of rank were killed ; we have made many prisoners. I am ignorant of what passed yesterday and to day on the Lower Bidassao. I have received no accounts from General Villate, wan has besides ' his instructions. I 11.eVil* knew troops better dis posed, nor sheW more ardour; the National Guards of Landis, and the Lower .

VAR's, Aoo. 5.--The intelligence from Frank fort, which announced the arrival of an English Minster ,Plenipotentiary, was preinatine. It is now certain that Lord Aberdeen has been appoint ed Minister Plenipotentiary to the Congress at Prague, by the.Cahinet of St. James's. Ile has left England to proceed to his destination. PRAGUF, JULY 24.--We learn that the Con_ gress at Prague held its first sitting on the I dth , instant. n i - RAGUE, JULY 24.—Several persons attached to his Excellency the Duke of Vicenee have al ready arriveii here, and every thing is prepared for his reception at the Grand Priory. This am; bassador is expected every moment.

It then proceeded to lay down the three following bases : Ist, that there ought to , be no interior custom-houses, from whklt it was :leduced, that the provincial rents should be abolkhed ; 2dly, that the proportion of - the contribution of every province ought to cor respond to its opulence ; ~3dly, th a t th e contrihu .tions ought to be apportioned among all the citi zens, according to their respective means. From these principles it was deduced, that the tortes ought to adopt -a direct system of ,contri bution, proportioned to the territorial and manu facturing opidenee of each district. The Cortes should,. in the first" instance, rote annually the amoun, of the contribution, -and assign to each province .its propOrtion : the provincial deputa tions will their proPortiduS tO the to'..vn ships ; and the constitutional quntantintos the proportionof vach citizen.
