EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER BEFORE

ST. SEBASTIAN'S, 19TH AUGUST.
" A large convoy is arrived at Passage, with
' the battering train to serve against this place, and
the siege will now go on with full vigour.' Sonlt,
we find, suffered more than was at first conjectur-
ed in men, and his troops still more in spirit, and
we think he will not snake any farther attempts to
disturb the sieges of St; Sebastian or Pamplona,
All is quiet in our front, nut the least annoy
-
side having been attempted by the garrison.
In ten days we promise to make a more serl4.
.ous impression than hitherto we have. We
have paid dearly fur our knowledge, but now
we are pretty fully, acquainted with the ene-
my's defences.. The springing of the mine in the
late assault was merely a feint, butit had. the ef-
fect .of leading the enemy to that point, and for
a moment the real point of
,attack was. left open
to us ; but.when the gallant Itoyuls had ascended
the breach, ;it was. discovered that they had to
leap down nearly, seveuards into the enemy's
works- This was i lmpossible ; and whilst in a ss-
tuation pausing what to do, the' enemy returned
to the real point of attack, and brought the guns
which flanked the wall directly upon our troops ;
the result I need not tell.
The blockade by land is closely kept up,
whilst the squadron being now increased.by some
light vessels, notwithstanding the gales by which
they have all been in repeated peril, and many
of them nearly lost, so entirely, check communi-
cation by boats even, that the garrison can se Weely
have a hope of relict or supply. The naval ser-
vice here no one can believe the anxiety or ,
fa-
tigue of ; the Commodore's ship sets'the example,
st) that we cannot complain the boat duty id
dreadfully fatiguing, besides which we arc always
required to be prepared for a gale, which is ac-
companied by the swell,of the whole Bay of Biscay.
The marine barometers of the Commodore have
saved some of this squadron
,two or three inntss ;.
it seems their changes are every halt hour reported
by an officer to him, and upon these the whole
squadron act. It is a public misfortune that such
things are not allowed by the country, as I ant
convinced by what I have seen, many a ship Might
be saved ,by their use; some now here certainly
ve.''—(Morni4 Post.)

13asAn.----This day the Lord-Mayor ordered the
price to continue the same as last week.
It is nut irrelevant to
this season of the year to
remark, that the leaves of the herb plantain, plan-
tago' major, have been found to relieve the swell-
ing and pain occasioned by the sting of the bee,
wasp, and hornet.
A powder mill, at Cosawes Wood, in the pa-
rish Of Gluvias, Cornwall, belonging to ,

siderable explosion. No lives were lost ; pre
man was slightly scorched.
On Sunday night, about half past nine o'clock,
a large meteor, or ball of fire, passed over Gins-
-ow, in 0 direction :from nearly south to north ;
its duration might be about half a minute, and its
