The following is an abstract of a detailed account

tno'rable 'l9th of Septen)Ger':'—.

" The enemy continued to pby: upon the three
breach`s of S. Loci?, San Cristobal, and Alemanes,

for more tha❑ a month after they were praolicable.

TIY4 censequunce was, that the walls were de-
molished and levt,lled to a, great extent, and
the houses 'educed to a 'heap of ruins. They
kept up an -incessant fire of cannon, mortars,
and 'howitzers, on the 17th, Otii, and 19th,
On the latter day they collected the greater part of
their force on the heights of .Carripadura and Mon-

with which our brave fellows were aduated, at th-et
sight of the vile slaves of the Usurper,• that on some
occasions they did not stop to make use of their
Muskets. They armed themselves with the stones
which they found in the breach, and hurled theta
upon the assailanti. According to the information
of the prisoners, deserters, and other data, the ene-
my's loss in killed only, amounted to eight hundred,
including three Colonels, and a number o finferior
Officers.

The instant the Governor 'D: Mariano Alvarez
was apprised by a signal trot, the Tower of the
Cathedral, and verbal messaeeS from other quar-
ters; thai the enemy were advancing, he made'
his dispositions to receive them; with his charac-
teristic cOolness; prompti:ude, and intrepidity.—
The genera te was beaten at four in the after ff
-
noon, the alarm bell was rung; the .General sent
his ciders in every diree.lion, and the troops prqceed-
ed to occupy their respettive pOsts With an alacrity
and discipline, which would have made an impres-
sion on Napoleon himself, had he seen them. The
breach and quarter of the Alemanes were reinforced
by the greater part of the regiment of Ultonia, coni-
manded by D. William Nasch, end a part of Baza's;,.
commanded by D. Miguel de. Hart) both of them
distributing their troupes° as to-co-operate alternate-
ly with the reserve posted in the centre of the works
in that quarter, and composed of a' part of Bourbon,
commanded by Delose de la ILjesia,eo men from each
of' the other tegiments, and, the General's company of
reserve. At the breach of Santa Lucia were posted
the General's guard, consisting of a part of the regi-
ment of Uttouia, detaChments from the regiments
of Bata and Bourbon, the second battalion of Bar-
celoua) the filet of Gerona, the first of Vique; and
the other corps, having their TeserVe stationed at the
gate of, St. Pedro. The breath of St. Cristobal was
Occupied by part of the second battalion Ut Vique
and the second of Talarn, reinfenced by detach-
ments front the second of Barcelona, the first of Ge-
rona, the grenadier company of Hibera; and the
ecclesiastic company of Crusaders. The gate of
"Saracinas was guarded by a detachment' of
the :first of Talarn, 'and some corpS- of rem
serve 'Stationed near it. A pert of the regiment
of Baza guarded the gate of France. The rest
of 'ate garrison, with the companies of regulars,
those of the Crusade, and the mass of the inhabie
tents, defended the walls and ramparts of the city;
The illustrious Junta of the Distrid assembled at
their usual place of meeting, to attend to the course
of events, and atiord the necessary aids in their de-
partment. The company of Santa Barbara, \consist-
ing of ladies, distributed .themselves at the different
pointSe-nost convenient for assisting thi wounded 3
and a proclamation was issued to invite L'ee voluntary
aid of such other females as might be disposed to
join in their charitable labours.
" Thii column of the enemy, that approached by
the foot of the Tower of Gironella, Making a despe-
rate effort, amidst repeated cries of advance, suc-
ceeded in mounting the extensive breaches of Ale-
:manes and S. Cristobal, and, in the first moments,
a few of them penetrated es far as the contiguous
houses. At this instant a party of the heroes of
Uhonia came up, and, with the utmost intrepidity,
planted themselves in the breach; after killing the
French Officer, who, by gestures and shouts, Was
urging on his troeps to vi6tory. A strong detach,.
meat of Bourbon opportunely arrived, and Imme-
diately

Governor. These united corps, led on by that ve;.
term Officer Don Bias de Fournas, completely re-
pulsed the invincilles, end the greater part of those

The braVe Governor was incesantly occupied
during. the conflia, in visiting the aitferent posts,
aways regarding that as the scene of honour where
the enemy seemed to make their most vigorous efa _
forts. When the Anal retreat of the enemy was
ascertained, he went round to the different carps,
and thanked thegallant: officers and men for their gallant:
exertions, and also ,the Ladies of Santa Barbara,
who heroically repaired to the breaches to administer
relief to the wounded, and to see them conveyed' to
• the hospitals.
" The enemy, after their first encounter with
'our soldiers, could not begot to return to the charge
but under the blows of their Officers' sabres ; end as
often as they were repulsed, they fled in disorder/
Without any distinaion of officer or private.
" The Sub-Lieutenant D. Antonia Biverh, and
Lieutenant D. Jose Camps, with a small paly of
our troops, passed the night in searching along the
foot of the walk, and in the fields, for the enemv's
wounded, and in conveying them to our hospitals.—
They found one that had bee,n stripped naked by
a miquelet,. who conceived he waa dead. His story
was, that he feigned himself dead to avoid being
killed by his own countrymen, or ours - He says,
it is very common with the French to dispatch
such of their wounded as they cannot bring away
with theni 3. and their officers impress upon them,
that our migtielets and peasants never give quarter?.

THE THEATRE.—The operatic Drama of The
&Ile, and the farce of Is he a Prince, were repte.-
sewed last night at Covent-Garda-, Tneatre. The
house was not very well attended at first. At the
petwd of half-price a body of the 0. P. squadron
aneared, hut not in great strength. Some of them
displayed medals struck in honour of the occasion,
but there was no other display of the grand initials
of the oppo;hion. As the pit was not crowded,
.there was more. titan usual room for the volunte,.-
rriormer3 10 shew their activity, and 11)(7 chiefly
employed themselves in running along the benches.
Two Or three persons who appeared anxious to re-
new the disturbances were taken into custody.—
The usual groans and Cheers, with one of the latter
in honour of Lord CoLIANGWOOD, and a short
dance, terminated the entertainments before the cur-
tain, and the au,fiente then quietly dispersed. • The
last at of the opera and almost the whole or the
farce were interrupted by . sneezing, coughing, and
other symptoms of infirmity, that fortunately de-
pended on the Will of the sufferers.
A pigeon match. for a sake of two hundred guineas
took place yesterday on ley Common, between
three noted shooters Loin Buckingharn•lr re, Messrs.
Holt, Sullivan, and Cunningham, acid there from
Bedfordshire, Myssrs. Cooke, Grove, and Fanshaw.
The match was 2 t birds, *Seven having been
lotted to each candidate. The following was the
order of the shooting : •

that had penetrated beyond the-breach were kith:A
upon the spot. Another column, reinforced by the
WestphalianS, made a second attempt ; but thy;
iu-
stant they came into contact with our brave fel.-
loxs, who stood firm as a wall upon the. breach,
they were panic struck, and such as survived
shock took flight. The enemy advanced a third and
fourth time, with a degree of fury borckt ing upon
frenzy ; but the only result of their repeated etK,irs
was to aggrandize the glory of Gerona. Dun Bias !
de Fournas, in his report to the Governor, states the
number of the assailants at 2500. The conflict, in
all, lasted two hours. The French and Spanish Offi-
cers were repeatedly engaged man to man. A
number of the French were crushed to death by a •
part of the wall falling on them. The report says,
that 300 of them, including a Colonel, lay dead
upon, or close to the breaches : those found in the
breaches belonged to the 56th regiment.
" Whilst these events were passing at the breaches
of Alemanes and S. Cristobal, the column which. •
approached by the road of Alonjuich, attacked the
breach of Santa Lucia, where 1). Rudulfo Marshall
commanded. The enemy, under cover of a brisk.
fire, twice attempted to penetrate, hut were as often
repulsed, with great loss. A Colonel, who had
the hardihood to plant himself on .the br4ach, paid
the forfeit of his life. D. Rodulfo Marshall was
severely wounded in repulsing the enemy. A
party of our troops posted in the church-steeple,
greatly assisted the defenders of the breac.7, by
keeping up an incessant fire from the loop-holes and
battlements.
" The fort of Calvario was, at the same time, at-
tacked by a column of between 200 and 300 men,
who .oshed forward to the foot of the three breaches
made in it ; but they met with so gallant a reception,
that they instantly fled, carrying off with them a
number of their wounded, and leaving behind them
scaling ladders and grappling irons.
In the mean time, a Jose Camps, Lieutenant
of the Second of Barcelona, sallied out of the gate
