ley a solid vain, with turrets at intervals for AM*
ieetry ; one of which is very high, and of consider-*
able extent, and is marmot provided with two
pieces of artiilery. °berrying that the enemy were
• making preparations for 'distance, I instantly or—
dered the 6th regiment of the line, with the batta-
lion of the ;tli, to advance upon the town ; whilst
General Mazzuchelli, with the let regiment of
Ii ht infantry. and a company of royal chasseurs,
should approach Austalrich, by making a detour to
i I the right.
Calorie! Eugene, and column, were received
with a Ineik fire of great guns from the fort, and a
still brisker discharge of musketry from the town.
The only retu n which Colonel Eugene mode, was
to beat a charge, and to rush forward, with the
vapidity of lightning, to the town. We found the
gates slant ; a moment's indecision might have been
destructive ; the Colonel therefore set fire to the
gate, and ordered his voltiguers to chub the nails,
which they instantly did.—the voltiguers scrambling
up upon each other's shoulders, umidst a shower
of balls. In this manlier was the quarter of rite.

storm ; but, when the troops entered the town, they
experienced fresh difficulties. The turreti poured
upon them, from all sides, case shut end greiordes,
cud' from every Louie they were assailed with a
destructive fire of musketry; awl all this ;IS IMP...
ported by the troops under Quadratic), alto had
posted himself between the fort and the tows'. and I
also by a fire of musketry from the garrison of the
castle, consisting of 6.)0 men, under the command
of the Governor, Guliau Gatrada. No obstacle,
however, could impede the iiilvairee of our ticiops ;
they rushed into the toe ii, and put to the sword
tl every one whom they found audio. arms.
At the instuet that Colonel Eugene made him-
*elf master of the left side of the town, General
llanuchelli had got round to the right side, and
was alreadj close under the walls, where he also
bad to toutaiii a heavy fire of musketry, and the
cannonade from the fort. The walls in that quer•
ter being too high for climbing, General Mazzu-
chelli instantly procured ladders, which were found
in the houses in the suburbs, and by means of
which, notwithstanding the well-supported fire he
*as exposed to, he ventured mein the assault.
In consequence of this double movement, the
insurgents, and also the troops of the line, who now
sow the town forced on both sides, respectively
formed a junc.ion on a level piece of ground in the
centre of the place. I then ordered a battalion of
the 2d light troops to advance. Without being in.
the smallest degree daunted by the fire of case-
,
shot directed against them, they also succeeded in
t clambering over the wall, and attacked the plain in
front, at the instant the other etitpe attarkr.l it on
the twits. The resistance was •obetinste, but it
was surmounted by oar courage, ,iii ill that were
opposed to us were put to the reword.
1..
I also ordered a battalion of the 4th to advance,
for tilt! purpose of supporting Colonel Eligene, who
was threatened to be surrounded by a column that '
descended from the mountains, with the apparent in-
tention of toakii.^: themselves masters of the ex-
tremity of the woes on the left, which, by Colonel
Eugene's forward moverueat, had Leta left without
the means of defence.
The battalion of the 4th regiment, led on lay the
brave Major San Andria, attacked, at the point of
the bayou, t, the troops who were udvancing from
the mountains, and who hall formed so part of the
troops previously mentioned. This battalion also
forced their wwy into the town, notwithstandin
the fire kept op on them by the fort, in order to
support tho column adverted to, which neveribe-
less disappeared with the rapidity of lightning.
To ''nn up all, I have the honour to inform your
Excellency, that the result of my enterprise has
completely answered your wishes; the enemy hav-
ing been beaten at all points; all their encamp-
ments carried and burnt; their considerable maga-
sines of salt-fish, oil, cud brandy, with 18 oxen,
belonging to Blake's army, and intended for the
supply of Gerona, having been taken or desttoy.
nl ; cud every part of the town, Ithleh 'the inha-
bitants atteniptegi to defend, having been burnt.
The remains of the forte of 2000 men, which
occupied bee city, could not have effected their
escape, had not Brigadier Quadratic taken refuge
in the castle.
According to a very probable calculation, tho
enemy must, at least, have lost between 8 and 900
men in killed, without including the wounded,
who had time to take refuge in the castle. On my
side, I hid 35 killed, including two officers, end
ti 4 wounded. among whom are several officers.
Of those who have distinguished themselves,
shall, for the present, cootine myself to mentioning
only the names of General Muzzuchelli, Col. Vll-
late, who commanded theadvauce, and Col. Eugene,
all of whom gave proofs of unparalleled intrepidity
and complete experience. •
The tern'or impressed upon the enemy by the
different enterprises of the army, was so great,
that neither Blake with his army, nor Colonel
Ultonia with his corps, dared tocpproack to relieve
Ilestalrkls, though they were only four or five
leagues from it. I have the honour, &c.

iing themselves to be in perfect security, they had begun to
plan fresh predatory expeditions ; bat, just at that moment,
General Hubert having sent across the river 6o hussars, with
a sultigeur seated behind each of them, surprised the ruffians
in their rendezvous, and put more than 100 of then to the
sword. At day-break, Colonel Robert crossed the
above Estattilla, with from 7to Bon of his corps. General
Hubert adverted, at the same time, from the environs of
Cootata, at the bead of /40 hussars of the ath vultigeurs of
the 121st regiment.
" The enemy bad effected the junction of all their parties ;
but that circumstance only made the Colonel more eager to
attack them ; they consisted of 3000 men. Colonel Robert,
after the first attack, adopted the scheme of ordering his
soldiers, on whose experience lie knew he could rely, to give
over the pursuit of the enemy, atol to make a feigned retreat.
The marauders, observing these movements, and taking them
for a real retreat, nistautly prepared to pursue our troops;
hut, soon after, the I I:th regiment suddenly faced shunt,
embed upon the enemy with their bayonets, and without
firing is single musket; suit at the same instant hoe hussars
mule a charge, which strewed the field with their dead. The
iitsurgents bring driven as far as Foes, there Ttempted to
make a momentary stood, but the result was, that they
were completely routed. Their loss cons'ated of 300 killcu ;
the number of their wounded was more considerable. On our
side, we have had ten wounded. The iahabitants of rout

soldiers, too, will lie convinced, that it is only indiscipline

perincity over a fanatical rabble, who would, ash' esily, lay
down their arms, could they but set, in its full csteut, the
perfidious conduct . (their leaders.
" The Geeerabin.Chief, Count guebet, congratulates
General Hubert oa the style in which he directed this ope-
ration, in the execution of which the 117th regiment, and
tl.e sth regiment of hussar'', have given a fresh proof of their
bravery, and afforded Colonel Robert an oppui tunny of dis-
playing his wood conduct

SEMLIN. NOV. O.

Since the conquest of that part of Senna which
lies on the other side of the Moniwa, nothing of im-
portance has occnrred between the Turks and the
' f)ervian insurgents. They have only had a few akin.
raisin.* in the vicinity of Grnschwa, Jagadina, and
Liwatiza.

On the 2ntli ult. the body of Turkish troops
that were posted at Passarowitch, Ram, and Perko,
broke up front their encampments, and fell hack
in the :direction of Nissa. It is difficult to cora-
-1 prebend the motives of this measure. It is true,
that, ac:ording to the odvices from Belgrade of the
2stil of September, the Paella Knzauv Ali had
thrown a bridge over the Morawa, at Compri°, and
again placed a geriison of 2500 infantry and ca-
valry in Jagadinia, under the command of Bim
Pasha; and what leads us to' suppose that the
Turks have changed their plan is, that it is well
known to have been their iutention to direct their
operations from that tpiarter. It should, however,
be observed, that, according to advises from IVid-
din, the Turkish army has evacuated the three dis-
t►icts of Servia, on the other side of the Morawa,
in consequence of the incessant rains, which, they
apprehended would be followed by an early and
severe winter.
