The communication widi the Northern Gate is direet front the Village of Ldbadd, ar,d here the ground is level with that of die Fort, but the road to Labada leads through the Mountains for about 30 miles from Etechpoor, and it was obvious, that the difficulty and labour of moving Ordnance and Stoles to Labada, would be very great. However, after'making inquiry at Elechpoor, it appeared both to Col. Stevenson and me, that this point of attack was, Upon the whole, the most ad vantageous, and we accordingly adopted it. Cirl. Stevenson had equipped his Corps at Assur gbur for the Siege of Gautlghur, for which service It had long been destined ; and I therefore deter mined that he should make the principal attack by Labada, while X should cover his operations with my own Division, and all the Cavalry, and, if pos. sihle, assist them by other attacks to the Southward and Ws-stl.vard.. On the 6th instant, th e Ist Battalion of the zd Regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel Chalmers, and two Companies of the 94.rh, and the Ist of the 6 , h, under Captain Mainland were detached, the former to drive in the Enemy from the Ground which they occupied to the S. , utlo.vard of the Forts and the latter to seize the fortified Village of Da. .margaurn, which covers the entrance- of the moun tains by the Road by which Colonel Stevenson was In pass towards Labad. , , and to protret the parties #tor forward to reconnoitre, and repair the Roads in the Niountaiko llcth these Detachments suc ceeded. on tile Th, both Di visiurs marche from Eleehpoor, Cntunci Steverson into the M,untains n . _ _ .Jtevenson into L I g ly D t " --4r g a6 rTf: anti rn Di v i s i on towards the ....outo,in face of the Fort y of G-auileur. From that d4Y till d 'e . 12' ii, on which Colonel Steverson brake ground near 1 . abatia, the Troops in his Di -7":')" ,% err throt;gh a series of laborious set vices, such as I 'never befor e witnessed, with the utmost cheerfulness and pers e v erance. The heavy Ord nance and Stores were dragged by hand over moons taint and, t h rough ravines, for nearly the whole distance,' by road s , w hi ch i t had been .previously necessary for the Troop s t o make for themselves. On the tzth at night, Colonel Stevenson erected two Batteries in front of the North face of the Port, one consisti ng of to iron eighteen pound ers andthr ee iron twelve w-r u n ders, to breach the outer Fort and third wall, and one consisting of two brass twelve-pounders, and two five half inch howitzers, to destroy and clear the defences on the point of attack. On the same night the Troops of my Division construaed a Battery, or iron an brass T welve.po f unders on the Mountain unde two r the Soulhern Gate, with a view, if possible, to breach the wall near that gate, or at all ouches to d raw the Enemy's attention to that quarter. Un fortunately the iron guns could net be moved into the hatterv," notwithstanding the exeon of th e T roops, ant i the fire of the brass guns s rtipro.. duced but little effcCi. Tie fire of - all theie batteries opened on the 13th in the mornitig, and on the 14th at niehr, the breaches i n t h e walls of the outer fort w ere prafticable : all the arrangetitents were made for stint-wog on !his d a y I Ith K , Lieut.-C o l.

Stevenson's ision, supp. r eed by tiif• 94th Regiment, and Liu. tenant-Col. r eed by widi Lieut.-al. Maclean's Brigad e in a Reser - .'ve. ' A. the same hour I inatio two attacks from the. Southward; to dram the Enf-lny's attention to tlia quarter, one under Lieut._Col. Wallace, consisti - n g (I t -, til e 74th Regi ment, five Comnanins of the 73th, and -the ist Bat.

Gare, and one under Lieui.-Col Chambers, consistint z . of five Companies of the 78th, and the ISt 8311411011 Of the 10th Re giment on t h e North-west Gate.--: These fast of no set vice, excepti ng t attacks could be to draw the Eneroy's attention from 'that from the North, unless they should succeed in blowing open the Gates, till they should communicate with De tachments from Col. Stevenson's Corps, as they had no Other means of entering this Fort. All the Troops advanced about ten in the morn ing, The Detachment under Lieut.-Col. Chahners arrived at the N. W. gate at the moment that the Enemy were endeavouring to escape through it from the Detachment of Col. Stevenson's Cp, w hail b een sent to communicate w i t h Col. r Chalmershich; and he entered without difficulty. The wall in the Inner Fort, in which no breach had been made, was then to be carried ; after some attemptsthe upon the Gate of Co mmun i cat i on be . tween loner anti O utward F ort, a place was found at which it was possible to escalade the wall. Captain Campbell, with the Light Infantry of the 94'h Regi ment, fixed the - ladde rs against this place, escaladed the wall, opened the gates for the storm ing. Party, and the ' Fort was shortly in our pos. session., 114 " Rnf nr3 'Garr' slated of Rai Garrison w as . numerous; it con. tr s and of a great part of Bury Sing'i Itt•Tolar Battle of Argatitf.aeno com mand e d n , an t whic h _ had escaped from the self ; they were all arledd4l%,,ibtly, Bury Singhim; muskets and bayonets: vast n um be rs Company' s • ne were killed, particularly at the different gates.

These two latter were sent 'from my Division to assist Co. lonel Stevenson. Upon the occasion of mentioning the name of Captain Johnson, I cannot omit to in form your Excellency, that throughout this Cam paign that Officer has performed the most impor tant service in the department of the Guides en trusted to his charge ; and I have no doubt but that his surveys will be a valuable public acquisition. Although the most laboriouS and most brilliant part of this service did not fall to the lot of the Troops of my Division, I have to apprise your Ex cellency that they performed that part allotted to them in a manner perfeftly satisfadory to me ; and Lieutenant-Colonel Wallace, and Lieutenant Colo nel Chalmers, and Captain Beommon, commanding the Artillery, have received my Thanks for the manner in which the two former led their Divi sions to the attack, and the latter exerted himself to forward the service of his Department.

THE Gazette of Saturday contains the Official Account of the Surrender of Surinam to His Majes• ty's Arms. It appears from the Letter of Major. General Sir CHARLES GREEN, that the attack was attended with difficulties which perhaps could only have been surmounted by the enterprising spirit aild perzevering courage of our Soldiers and Sailors.
