T A K v m 0 _IN IA Ja- G I A 1 - NT ELL COENti'lL CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 6,000 bales, including 1,000 taken for export and on speculation. The market closed quiet but dull. Railway Shares were firm. There is more firmness in the tallow trade, seve ral hundred tons that were upon the market hav ing been cleared off. The amount of bullion held by the Bank of England during the week to the 9th inst. was not much below what was previously in its coffers, but considering the arrivals and the limited exports, there should have been an increase, save that this is the period of the year when a larger metallic cir culation is needed for the payment of wages in the agricultural districts. A reduction, therefore, in the specie held by the banks 'is not necessarily, at this season, the result of foreign requirements. The notes employed wore increased also, and private parties drew fairly upon their balances, but there was a decrease in the discounts not so far confir matory of the fuller employment for money. The deposits of the Government were larger. The fol lowing were the changes compared with the pre vious account : Active circulation Decrease Bullion Decrease Rest Decrease Public Deposits X 19,621,950 229,715 13,321,819 46,552 3,694,814 5,251 4,342,706 Increase 346,279 Other Deposits Decrease 636,614 Seven-Day and other Bills Increase 26,652 Government Securities 10,996,955 Increase 16,926 Other Securities 14,719, 4 92 Decrease Notes unemployed 7,008,160 . Increase 171,575 There was an improvement yesterday afternoon in the rates of exchange upon the principal Conti nental cities. Paris, 90 days, was at 25 27i to 30, Amsterdam at 11 17 to 17/, Hamburgh at 13 6 to 61, Frankfort at 1184 to 118 k, and Trieste at 11 36 to 42. Mexican and South American dollars are ss. 2id. per ounce, and Carolus 6s. 3id. The following is from Sydney " We lately observed that the number of miners en gaged at the various gold diggings of this colony had decreased, and that their earnings had been in vested in the majority of cases in the purchase of land, either for building or for purposes connected with agri culture or grazing. We have since learnt that farm lands offered to the public by the Government, by public auction, and refused, during the three years ending December 31, 1853, have been selected by pri vate purchasers, and that in the counties of Westmore land and King alone small farm lands to the amount of 24,0001. were bought during the past year. The official maps of these counties, showing the lands which are now alienated, present very different and far more agreeable features than they exhibited two years ago. " The progress of the survey of the district of Port Curtis continues to excite much interest. We believe that this settlement is generally regarded as an eligi ble field for the extension of our squatting system ; but its claims as a commercial port and an agricultural dis trict seemed to have been overlooked. Protected by Curtis and Facing Islands, Gladstonepresents a site for a mercan tile and maritime depot and entrepot, second, we are as sured, only to Port Jackson in these seas. According to the plans in the Surveyor-General's Office, which we have been politely allowed to inspect, ships of any tonnage can anchor safely at Gladstone. The arable lands in what is called the Mount Larcomb country, and which are between Gladstone and the mountain coast range are said to 'be of the highest character. So fully have been the Government impressed with the fact that this tract of country is especially adapted for agricultural purposes, that they have excluded from the squatting regulations the counties of Clin ton, Deas Thomson, and Livingstone. The cha racter of the coast range is decidedly auriferous ; very fine 'specimens of gold procured from Liley's Creek have been receive d at the Surveyor-General's Office ; and whether as regards our commercial, agri cultural, or pastoral interests, the opening of Port Curtis must be regarded as a great fact in the history of New South Wales." The exports of gold from London direct, during the week to Thursday last, comprised 194,250 ounces of silver, and 6,847 of gold, all to the Continent. In public securities very little is doing. Consols bring 95/ to 4 for transfer, and 95i 4 for account, being rather weaker than yesterday. India Stock has been firm at 228. Exchequer Bills are ss. pre mium, the smaller descriptions only being dealt in. Foreign Stocks have been very dull. The only transactions have been in Spanish 3 per Cents., at 37a ; in Chilian 6 per Cents., at 104 i ; in Sardinian, at 88 ; and in Turkish Scrip, at ss. premium. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :--Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to 6 ; Mexican, 24l to 241 ; Peruvian, 70 to 72 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 51 to 53 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 40 to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 98 to 100 ; ditto, 41 per Cents., 88 to 90 ; Spanish Now Deferred, 18i to 181 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 37i to 38 ; ditto Certificates, 5 to 5i ; ditto Passive 4 to 41. Railway shares have been rather fluctuating. In one or two instances there is greater buoyancy, including the North-Western, North-Eastern, and the Great Western. In the foreign. lines there have been a few sales a t barely previous rates. The Joint Stock Bank Shares have been firmer ; Crystal Palace c ontinue heavy, and South Austra lian Land are a shade higher. ---. 7 _ BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES.

Shares in most descriptions of mines are flat and unsaleable. During the week, shares have changed hands in the following : DIVIDEND MlNES.—Alfred Consols, Altgoed Consols, Callington, Drake Walls, Kenneggy, Lews, South Cara don, Trehane, Trewetha, Wrysgan, Welsh Potosi, West Caradon, Wheal Arthu r, r, General Mining Company for Ireland, Lackanaore,Mining Com pan yand.

In Foreign Mines the transactions throughout the week have been unimportant, and the quotations have remained without fluctuation worthy of notice. GOLD.—The Rodney, from Sydney, has arrived with 20 7,950 ounces of gold, valued at 31,8001., and 6,5001. in 20 sove reigns. H ON G KONG.—According to the telegraphic accounts 20 from Hong, , Kong, yesterday afternoon, which reach to the 22d of July, the rate of exchange has experienced a s light decline both at Canton and Shanghai, thus lessen- 40 ing the inducement to send silver from this country. 40 At Canton the quotation by the previous mail was 50 ss. id., and it is now ss. id., while at Shanghai it has 25 receded from 60. 7d. to to 6s. sd. The exports of last 20 season's tea to date were 78,000,0001 b., and of silk 61,800 bales. Trade at Canton was aimost totally suspended, 100 owing to the arrivals of tea having been intercepted by 100 the insurgents, who were expected at the city daily. A 20 panic prevailed among the population, and they were leaving with their families as fast as possible. The 20 receipts of new Congou had been only thirty chops, o f which twenty had been settled. Five ,c li p . 5 0 pers had been desp atched, havin g be g un to load 1 5 (in 0 before the panic, but it was doubted if other ships 100 would get away for some time, as scarcely any business could be transacted. From Shanghai the dates are to 20 the 15th of July. The new silk i 3 described as being 50 v ery bad and very dear, and the arrivals were under 20 2,000 bales, against 10,000 last year. Contracts were 25 being cancelled, and foreigners were withdrawing their money from the country. At the same time large pur- 100 awes of common silks were being made by Chinese 12 capitalists in the interior. Tea in Shanghai was very dear, and it was apprehended that the old duties would 25 be rigorously enforced, by which a ♦very large sum in 25 specie would be absorbed within the next 4Q days, to the • 5 ...0 injury of trade, SHARE MARKETS BRITISH t'llosing Prices this day. 22 - 22 41 - 5 9 - 9:3 11 —lO d 17 - 18 7 - 6 96 - 97 661 - 67 15i - 16:I 10 - 12 i* I'd 7 - 76 17 - 18 12 -12 i 70 - 72 61 - 63 23i = 24; 89 - 90 71 - 73 L 24 - 127 91 - 93 74 74-3 72 - 76 83 - 85 9 - 11 9 -11 73 - 5A - 5 8 - i 83 103 105 1041 • loti if p I - 6d 85 86 9 8d 8 7 d 25 - 26 ni 72i 42 - 44 d par 8 6 2 2i 5i - 6} 50 - 52 32 .., ... 33i 8 10 1 —7; 78i 79 5i bid 3 3id 1, —1! 56 5} 50 1 p P 4 —73 i 31 - 36 97 99 63 65 74 8 aid 13i - 144 66 664 33i - 34 2 - 1 - 33 - 33 4,} - 24 - 3b 4 = ii FOREIGN. 3d d p P 2 2 d 32i 32$ - gd - 3p 1 Q - 5 0 7 - 6 ... ~ ~.. 9 -- 7ci 9 7d i iP A 41, 17 -18 2d par La 1p P - i ld • • par 1d par 2 4P clis 2 i - 1 - 1 .•• """*. par --- p ~. .-.. • • 7 - 34~ - 34 12 -- 8 -- 9 18i -- 19Ip 48 50 37 39 ... pm 23 —23 k par 1 p d••• 8 SA ••• -... ... - pm ..•1 •••• ••••• 3 6 - 7.-p1 16 - 17 BANKS. 84 - 85 ... -- ..• 1 id 30 - 3 2 21 2i d 21i 22 38 - 40 42 - 44 44 - 46 674 - 6EI 74 - 8A WOOLLEN TRADE.

The Emancipation states that an extraordinary convocation of the two Chambers will take place on the 17th October, and that the King will open the session in person. The Ministers will retain their portfolios until the opening of Parliament, when the question of confidence will be frankly put by the Cabinet. It appears that the present Minister had ad interim 'counselled the formation of a Par liamentary Cabinet, composed of members of the two Legislative Assemblies, but this combination, being considered impracticable, was abandoned, and Ministers retained office.

BouLoGNE; Sept. 15.—The contemplated ma noeuvres on the line of road from St. Omer, by Escoeuilles and Desvres, yesterday, terminating to day in the attack and capture of Boulogne itself, have not taken place ; and, it is now said, stand postponed tiil th e E mperor ' s re t u rn from the south of France. As f ar as conc l us i on s can be safely drawn from his movements, he intends to do something of the kind, but when exactly, or how, no one can say. It does not at all follow that the circumstances which connect his name, rather ludi crously, with the idea of an attack on Boulogne should have a n y influence in deterring him from making such a demonstration ; for he has more than once tak en occasion tolife sh a show that he is not at all ashamed o f ac t s in h uni versally condemned as . t the time foob. Meanwhile, however, the mixed population of this favourite watering-place have breathing spaceafforded them from the terrors of the impendingsiege, but it is due to them to stale that never did inhabitants of threatened town or city display greater composure with such a prospect of assault and military violence imminent. Whether this p rocee d s f rom a well founded confidence in the security of the English affiance, or from any other cause, must of course remain doubtful. The Emperor, although his plans are changed, or have perhaps been misapprehended, has not been idle. Yesterday at an early hour he again visited the camp of Helfaut, near St. Omer, and reviewed his troops in the presence of Lieu tenant-General de Wedell, the general-officer de puted by the King of Prussia to witness the mili tary evolutions of the army of the north. The re view, apparently, had for its sole object VS give General de Wean an opportunity of seeing Helfaut, and the extent and quality of the force in cavalry and infantry stationed there, or within and around St. Omer. The infantry were first minutely in spected, and defiled past the Emperor on the fine open ground in front of the camp. Then the ca valry to the number of 32 squadrons—one half of Cuirassiers and the other composed equally of Lan cers and Dragoons—were manoeuvred for some time by his Majesty with splendid effect upon the bruyere, a piece of level ground about a mile and a-half to the west of St. Omer, and well adapted ' for such movements. It is somewhat difficult to determine which sight was the most imposing— that of the foot soldiers drawn up on an elevated plateau, with a noble prospect extending over many leagues in front, and behind a huge en campment of more than 20 years' standing ; or the mounted men, a vast and glittering array, the bare sight of which, as it swayed and surged to and fro along the plain, must have stirred the heart of every spectator. .The camp at Helfaut is the most striking in every way of the five in which the Army of the North is now assembled. Situated on the summit level of the heights which overlook St. Omer, it is hardly possible to conceive a position more healthy, or better adapted in every way for the purpose to which it has been applied. An obelisk monument to the late Duke of Orleans stands in front, the inscription almost obliterated by the names of soldiers rudely carved over it. The huts are more substantially constructed than those around. Boulogne, and are different in plan, being larger, more commodious, and, in fact, forming to all appearance a town on the top of a hill, regularly laid out in rectangular streets, of uniform, substantial, well-thatced cottages, with a swarming population, made up exclusively of soldiers. One may fancy the effect of such a scene—so different from anything to which English men are accustomed.. But it is not during the day, or even while reviews and exercises are in progress, that the remarkable spectacle which this camp pre sents is seen to the greatest advantage. It is when the evening closes in and parade work is over— when the men turn out in front of the camp and 1 form themselves in happy groups to pursue their L favourite sports—when foraging parties wend their way down the zig-zag road into the val ley, singing gaily to while away the time, and when the ruddy glow of the camp fires begins to divide the picturesque effects upon the eye with the declining light. The Prussian General must have been struck with all that he saw at Helfaut ; but, beyond the arrangements of the camp and its commanding site, the appearance of the soldiers must have impressed him. So intelligent and full of alacrity, these sturdy little men seem to have &bout them every requisite for successful campaigning ; and what an English man remarks most in them is their great sobriety. We have not yet seen among them a single case of drunkenness. The Emperor's review of the cavalry was unfor tunately marred by heavy rain, which came on shortly after the evolutions had commenced. The different regiments were drawn up by squadrons in two exended lines, the Dragoons and Lancers in front, and the Cuirassiers behind, when the Impe rial cortege arrived. The usual preliminary inspec tion over, a series of brilliantly executed move ments of the ordinary parade character followed, and the display terminated with a grand charge. One man was unhorsed, and broke his leg in the fall. In two other cases the horses came down with their riders, but recovered themselves again. Taken singly, French troopers have rather an insignificant appearance as compared with those of our service, and our regiments may fairly claim considerably greater perfection and precision of drill and training, but there the balance of contrasts stops or turns against us, and in numbers especially we are completely overwhelmed. There must have been from 4,000 to 5,000 cavalry.on the bruyere yesterday, and a striking sight it was to behold so vast an array of mounted men, now formed into one dense mass, and now whirled by squadrons into ex tended columns—retiring, advancing, taking ground one moment to the right, another to the left, and still through all preserving the firm, compact, un wavering line of their ranks. Some objections have been taken, apparently with good reason, to the mode in which the French cavalry hold their swords in charging. They rush on at the assault with the arm uplifted and the body left very open, instead of being in an attitude in which they can most readily avail themselves of an opponent's fence. I t is a splendid force, however, and looked grand yesterday in spite of the weather. In so large a body of men the shouting of orders swells to such an extent as almost to resemble cheering, and several times it was difficult to resist the impres sion that the different regiments were giving the Emperor a hurrah as ho passed. The tricolor streamers of the eight squadrons of Lancers, when massed together, had a wonderfully pretty. effect ; nor were the Dragoons in their brass hel mets, and the Cuirassiers in their glittering panoply of steel, less splendidly attractive. What will " the pomp of war" become when the diminishing value of cavalry, as an arm of the service, is at length recognised. If the extreme limits of the range, accuracy, and rapidity of firing with projec tiles like the Minie are still undetermined, may the heart of humanity not hope that a time will shortly come when with rare exceptions the horse may be exempted from all but his natural service to man, and no longer be obliged to share with him the carnage of the battle-field ? It was past five o'clock, and they had both been well soaked by the rain, before the Emperor and his guests, dismounting and resuming their seats in the Imperial carriage, returned to Boulogne. The troops at the same time, and without defiling, returned to their quarters. They wear in wet weather long cloaks, of a light fawn colour, which are not so conspicuous as those used in our service, and yet in a body of men look remarkably well. At a distance they might be taken to be waterproof, but in reality are not so. Although beyond the mere display of cavalry and infantry there was nothing in the actual details of what occurred yesterday near St. Omer worthy of any lengthened notice, it is not improbable that a deeper meaning than meets the eye lurks beneath the Emperor's courtesies to General Wedell. In the present state of European politics, the King of Prussia may be sincerely desirous to know all that he can with reference to the five great camps com posing the French army of the North. Napoleon, also, may be anxious to make the King thoroughly appreciate the military resources which he com mands, and which at very short notice from St. Omer he can pour across the Rhine.

The Emperor, accompanied by Lieutenant-Gene ral de Wedell, has just ridden out on horse-back to review the troops at the camps of Honvault and Wimereux. The Prussian General was attended by Colonel d'Olberg and Captain de Francois, the officers in his suite. The Emperor was accompanied by a brilliant staff of Generals and Aides-de-camp, and followed by an escort of the Cent-Gardcs in full costume. The crowds in the street are never wearied of admiring so imposing and magnificent a cavalcalo as that which accompanies the Emperor in his re views and inspections at the camp. The hotels are still full, and English and Parisian visitors find abundant occupation in visits to one or other of the camps of the army, three of which, Equihem, Hon vault, and Wimereux, are within an easy distance of Boulogne, and delightfully placed upon the cliffs, commanding a view of the opposite coast of England.

The town still swarms with mili tary, and the cafes present a busy and animated scene at night from the number of French officers who stroll over from the neighbouring camps to enjoy their cigar and a cup of café noir. The Imperial Guard are encamped in handsome marquee tents on the other side of the harbour, and the peculiar roll and beat of the French tambour, and the martial trumpet call, are constantly borne over the harbour to the houses on the quay, from the windows of which the Imperial Guard can be distinctly seen at their musters and inspections. The weather during the last month has been unin terruptedly fine, and during the high tides of the last week sea-bathing has been enjoyed by the visi tors under every advantage. But the weather has now broken, and the disappointment which might otherwise have been felt at the postponement of the grand feigned battle, in which the first and se cond corps d'armee are to be united is somewhat diminished by the reflection that the torrents of rain which have fallen yesterday and to-day would have rendered it impossible for the majority of sightseers to assist at the manoeuvres. The Prus sian General Wedell is unfortunate in respect to weather, for it began to rain smartly as soon as the troops turned out to-day, and the rain continued to fall during the whole time the Emperor was at the camp.

DEAL, Sept. 13.—Yesterday, as Master Henry Col lins, son of Mr. John Collins, surgeon, of Piccadilly, and grandson of Lieutenant Batt, R.N., was bathing in the sea, he perceived that a boy a few yards from hi ll was out of his depth, and that the tide, then running very fast, was carrying bins rapidly away. Young Col lins, although only a learner in the art of swimming, instantly struck out, fortunately reached the boy just as he wa, , , sinking, brought him to shore, and then, with great presence of mind, made every endeavour, by rub bing the chest, &e., to restore animation, which was suspended ; fortunately, he succeeded, and, after a time the youth was enabled to proceed home. The construction of the additions to the Palace of Industry in the Champs Elys6es is shortly to be com menced- The paved road of the quay of the Ch amps Elys4es, from the Pavilion of Ermenonville for a consi derable distance towards Chaillot, has been enclosed. It is on this ground that is to be raised a supplemental gal lery of from 800 to 900 metres in length, and of a total superficies of from 30,000 to 40,000 metres.

The Invalide Russe gives the following, under the head of additional details respecting the defends of the fortifications of Aland : "In completion of the details already given relativ e to the the capture of the fortifications of Al an d, an ac count has just been received from Lieutenant-General Rokassovsky, commander of the troops in Finland, con taining a detailed narrative from the Honorary Coun cillor Westerius, formerly superintendent of the maga zine cf provisions of Aland, who was at the principal island during the whole time of the siege of the fort. M. Westerius was sent by the commander on the 7th of August to purchase from the inhabitants of the neigh bouring village forage and provisions for the support of the place. In returning on the next day to Skarpans, he perceived that the route to the forte had already been intercepted by the enemy, and, wishing at all events to avoid being made prisoner, M. Westerius concealed himself until the 19th of August, in the villages and woods of Aland, and ultimately succeeded in reaching Finland, having passed across the lines of the cruisers in a fishing boat. Having on the 28th August reached Helsingfors, he gave to the authorities the fol lowing account of the siege and defence of the fortifica tions of Aland :—ln consequence of the bombardment of the principal fort of Aland on the 21st June last by three English ships of war, the commanaer of Aland ordered the construction of a fresh land battery on the south-west coast of the bay of Lumpar, which was effected in the course of the month by the soldiers of the garrison of Aland, under the command of Captain du Kransold, chief of the detachment of artillery of the island. At the same time there were sent from the fort five guns of the rampart, for which the workmen had made new carriages, under the orders of Sub-Lieu tenant Pistchouline, of the artillery garrison of Aland, and in accordance with the directions of Captain du Kransold. When this battery was ready, a certain number of picked men, taken from the Finland batta tion of the line No. 10, from the garrison of artillery of Aland, were ordered to work the battery, under the command of Lieutenant Schimanovsky and Sub- Lieutenant Pistchouline. Detachments of the 3d and 4th companies of the battalion of Grenadier Riflemen, under the command of the Guard do Eurnjelm, Adju tant of the Governor of Abo, were ordered to defend this battery. Ultimately, after the entry of the Anglo- French fleet, to the number of more than 30 vessels, in to the bay of Lumpar, it was demolished, the guns were destroyed, and all the men were sent to the principal fort, and a portion of the riflemen were stationed in the three towers. All . this was entirely completed on the th of August. " According to the statement of M. Westering, the garrison of each tower was composed of about 90 men of the Finland battalion of the line No. 10, and about 25 men of the artillery and engineers, with three officers ; and, in addition, in the tower C, were Captain of Ar tillery de Tesche ; Lieutenant de Salberg, of the bat talion of the line ' • Ensign de Bolfras, and Sub-Lieu tenant Couradi, of the battalion of Grenadier Rifle. men. In the tower U, Lieutenant of Artillery Zvereff, Second Captain de Melart, and Sub-Lieutenant de Bluhm, of the battalion of the line. Also in the tower Z, the Lieutenant of Artillery Chatelain, and Captains de Knoning and P6remilowsky, of the battalion of the line. " At the same time—that is to say, during the month of June, according to the instructions of the comman dant, there were constructed, under the superintendence of the head of the engineers, in the principal fort, a masked earth battery, covering three Paixhan guns, all the openings being walled round, internal as well as ex ternal, the latter not being armed with guns. "During the construction of the battery of Lampar four pieces of the garrison field artillery of Aland, under the command of Captain of Artillery Schvetoff, were divided into two detachments, one of which took post at the limit of the force of Schvetoff, and the other near Mougstekt, each supported by detachments of Grena dier Riflemen. There Aexisted on these two points old batteries in ruins, which the soldiers reconstructed. In the night between the sth and 6th of August these four pieces were taken from their positions and placed in the fort, with men to work them and troops to defend them. In the evening of the 7th of August, 24 artillery horses were sent to Gerad, the officer of the Crown at Aland, that they might be fed by the inhabitants. " Such was the situation of the fortifications when, on the 24th of July, there arrived seven of the enemy's vessels in the Bay of Lumpar. This number succes sively increased, and amounted in a few days to more than 30. At the same time the enemy surrounded the fortifications on the other sides. His vessels remained quietly at anchor, and were only occupied in sounding until the 7th of August. On that day it was remarked that the enemy's vessels were being towed into the bays of Lumpar and Wargata, and it was presumed that troops intended to land were on board, and this idea was confirmed the next day ; that at 2 o'clock in the morn ing the enemy landed troops upon two points—viz., to the west of the village of Ivanwik, and to the east of that of Hutta. The Riflemen advanced from these points in large masses, and the two troops assembled together at Finby, situated three verts from the fortifications. There the bivouacked, and the head of the French troops took his position in the village. " According to probable reports which reached me on the same day as the landing of the troops at Aland, the enemy began the assault upon the tower C, but was re pulsed with loss. He then began to construct his bat smtaon n t h e r e . siege su b b s e y ei umeenatnlys in rollerst r e and d ce t d o i b n r a in p g ar h t i i s cu g l u a u r a fire upon the tower, endeavouring at the same time to the night,between the B th and 9 th of August he opened erect a new battery nearer to it, but what he had suc ceeded in raising during the night was destroyed at day break by our balls. Eventually, having discovered an appropriate position, where he was sheltered, the enemy constructed a battery, and when it was finished he fired day and night upon both sides of the tower, with a view to make a breach, so that it was seriously and danger ously damaged in every part. Upon this the garrison which defended it, foreseeing probably the impossibi lity of holding out much longer, decided upon re turning to the principal fort, but was prevented by the enemy, who unexpectedly made an assault upon it, sur rounded it, and cut off all retreat. Both officers and soldiers (as I have heard) were desirous of forcing a passage at the point of the bayonet, but they could not overcome the advantage of superior numbers, and were forced to surrender. A few hours afterwards the tower, which was much shaken, tumbled to pieces. Among its officers, the artillery Captain de Tesche was wounded with a bayonet in the leg, and Ensign de Bolfras, of battalion of Grenadier Guards, rece i ve d injury on t t h h e e C. the en emy ra i se d s h d "After r f rtohnel capturea blow w o i f t h t h a e s tower batteries against the tower 11, the bombardment of which was commenced on the 12th of August , and was continued without intermi ss i on during 3 day s. That tower, in which two large breaches were made by the balls, without reckoning the other damage done to its interior by shells, havi ng on l y the means of firing four times more, was at length forced to capitulate. 4, I am not aware of the cause of the reduction of the tower B. I only know that the garrison capitulate d on the 15th of Au gus t , at 11 o'clock in the evening. " I have not received precise information as to the reasons for the capitulation of the principal fort, but the following are the reports which I have collectieidoupnoont the subject, the authenticity of which,however, guarantee.

It it is said that on or side the number of killed was 53, and that of the garriso t n our r unded 68, and that the enemy lost from 500 to 600 men. The garrisons of the principal fort and of the three towers were embarked in Anglo-Preach vessels. Such of the prisoners as were sent to be sent to England were despatched on the 17th August, and the others, among whom was General Bodisco and his wife, were sent to France on the 18th of August. It was also re ported that, with the consent of the enemy's chief offi cers, the wives of some of our officers have accompanied heir husbands." 19 4i 26 11i a 9k I
