I arrived within z . ,0 or 300 yards of the gateway, wheri• a piquet of the Tank Battalion on my right fired upon us ; but, as it did not immediately alarm the Garrison, I continued Moving on Without raking the smallest notice 'of them. ; . . After having advanced to within too or 120 yards of the.,passage s• the garrison commenced a smart fire froni the • raMpartsi, and, at the same time, I perceived .a number ,of the Battalion running, along the top of the glaeis, endeavouring. to. ,gairt the gateway, upon whom I opened aheaiy fire of musquetry, and , defeaied their purpose, as well ,as upon the men. whomecupied the. rampart. I pro. seeded on to the first gate, and,blew it open; con.' tinuing my fire of musquetry on tilt worksi and dislodging the people who occupied them. The second gate was nod phut, being.out of repair. The‘ third and fourth gates were also blown opeti, when I entered the town, and, havirig ordered' par, ties to secure the ramparts, .I pushed on to a small gateway on the - South side of the fort,,through • which the enemy were ,making their esCape, and; on gaining the ramparts, I kept up a fire upon the fugitives, driving them from the ditch, and forcing them to the plain, where I saw Major Tiovefon att. tacking them in all quarters. The Nubjeed Battalion fled in the-direEtion I ex. peded, and met . with the same reception as their brother fugitives from the for!, front the 3d Regi. ment of Cavalry. Enclosed I have the honour to" transmit, for the purpose of being laid before his Excellency the Commander.in.Chief; a Return of the killed and wounded of that part of the detachMent etni')lo:yed yesterday morning. From this his Exceliencywill perceive, that the loss of. trim and hories in the Cavalry has been considerable,. frOin the very , obiiti. nate resistance of the enemy, who periisted in te. fusing quarter on condition of laying doWn their arms,. I have also the honour to enclosoa Refurn of the gum found in the Fort; and Captain. Ratan being now employed in examining a magazine con taining a considerable quantity of gunpowder, shot, &c. as soon as that is completed, a Rettitn of them shall be immediately forwarded. From every information I have received, the' et+ my's strength was from woo tot too; fighting men. Of these there were from 4.0 to SO ,killed, and many wounded on the works in passing throng() the gate. ways, and in the town, during my approach, and on my arrival on the Southern side. Major Doveton's Repoit of thrhe killed and wounded by the 3d Regiment of Cavalry states them to hi from 350 to 400. On getting possession of Rarnpoora, I found the ramparts to be much thicker thaostated in a former letter, In Some parts they are fd4 fee; thick, and in none less than i S or 20. Lieutenant Smith having, been direCted to snake a sketch of the Fort, and take seClions in diii:rent places, I shall add nothing more on that sUbje#, except that Captain -Wood has given dire ions for the repairs of the gates, and for some other little alterations to be done by his own people. Besides the military stores, there is a very small quantity of grain, and a few bullocks, of public property, in the Fort. . These I have ordered to be secured ; and I have likewise done. every . thing in my power .for the protection of the inhabitants, with whose houses the Fort is full. For §otne time they were exceed. ingly alarmed; but I am happy tr► observe, this morning, a considefable degree of t onftdence, and which it will be my duty'to augment. Having thus detailed the whole of my proceed ings, for the:information of his Excellency the Corn. .mandor in Chief, I now come to what I consider not only as a p,trt of my duty, but to me a very pleasing one indeed; and :that is, to acquaint you, that the crmduft, and behaviour of • every individual employed yesterday morning was such as to merit my most hearty approbation and thanks. Nothing could possibly . have Surpasied it; and in that li g h t I beg you will represe n t it to the Commander in Chief. I feel myself, in a particular manner, indebted to Capt. Raban, of the Artillery, and Capt. Wood, of the Etigineers, for their ready co-operation and advice during the whole, of the service. Lieut. Hay, of the Artillery, is.fully itititled to my notice for the effectual manner in'which he direfted the fire' of the r 2.-pounders in the rear 'of the column ; as likewise is my Adjutant, Lieut. Manby, for his altivity in conveying my orders. To the. whole of the Commissioned, Non-commissioned Officers and Privates, Europeans-and Natives belonging to the Ordnance Department, my best thanks are most fully due. beg you will likewise state to His Excellency, that the precision, gallantry, and activity, with which my instruaions to Major Doveton were car. Tied into effea by the 3d Regiment of Cavalry, re. fleet the highest credit on the whole of this valuable corps ; the only thing I have to "blunt is, the heavy loss they have sustained. The European Commissioned Officers of the Na. tive Infantry, from the able manner in which they commanded their respative Div44ions, were not less entitled to my warmest, encomiums than the Native Commissioned, Non.commissioned Officers, and Privates are, for the - attention and implicit. obedience observed by them throughout the whole of the attack., In these terms 'I beg leave to re.' present the behaviour of the Companies of the Bth and 25th Regiments', and you may confidently as. sure His Excellency, that no Troops whatever would have behaved better in a similar situation. I have only further to add, that nothing could be better managed, or more gallantly performed, than the blowing open ihrgates of Rampaora, by Ser. jeans O'Laughten, and the party of European Ar. tillcry attached to the leading To-pounder.

I was influenced by a desire to spare the blood of MY people. I shall always lie ready, to make the Suite sacrifices. My fame, my happiness, I have placed in the welfare of the present generation. I was desirous, as far as lay , ip My 'power, to render philanthropic.and magna. ninoui ideas the prevalent , ones of the present age. It beloeg& to me, in whom those sentiments cannot be ascribed to weakness ;',it belongs to us, to the best natured, the most enlightened, and most be. nevolent people, to remind the nations of Europe, .that they wake together bat one family, and that, every undertaking 'which they eiteCtite in their civil divisions, militates agaiast ,the general Welfare.— Gentle Men, Deputies _Of the Legislative Body, I depend upon, your assistance as Well as upon the , valour of my army." CONSTANTINGPLR, DEC. 30.—The departure of the. French Ambassador . continues to be the general • subjet of conversation.,. The particulars of the last ,conference which took place between the and ~Ottoman, Ministers have . goe . into circulation.— Marshal Biloxi, pr:vious to his departure, is said to have delivered,a Copy of the Note communicated by, _M. TALLEYRAND to ,I4ALIE.EFFENDI, the Ambassadtar of the„Porte, at Paris. The Note ex. pretties 'touch astonishment that the Porte had refused . to acknowledge the. Emperor NAPGL.EON,, dering that. France had been from time imtnetuotial the faithful friendand all'', of the Ottoman Emperor. The causes _which have occasioned ' thii refusal are sebsequently'detaileid. It is asserted that a fa6iOn exists in the •,Turki s h ;Government, the views and conduct of which were diretily in opposition to the interests of the Parte ; that this faction had con stan;ly evaded all the advantageou s proposals which had been made on the part of France, and that it hzid entleavour,ed to form an intimate connexion between the Porte anti a certain fewer. It concludes by advancing, that the present conalna of the Porte but, ill accords with tharpride which has invariably characterized her, since she places herself, without any soilicient motive, under the contronl of a Foreign , Power. , • Roatt,!

In case, as their true interest re. quires, they should side with France and Spain, they will be required to shut their Ports against the Eng. and prohibit the importation of any ,English . . commodities. It is added, that the Courts of Florence and.
