Tub: MINISTER. rOF NVAIt.
Bu aGOs, Sept. ld.
fc nasten to send to your Excellency a copy
of the ,capitulation of Santona,- which -I have „just.
approved. The conditions are the more advan-
tageous, as the superior•officers, and others who
acknowledge the Itegency, will not preserve
their enjoyments, rank, hottoars,ltistinctions, and
pay, unless Ihe King or the Regency consent.
cannot on this occasion too highly praise Gen.
Schaeffer, who does not cease to give .proofs of
his zeal and great-Military talents. •
" According to, 'this Capitulation, the o'ffiters;
and -soldiers .who shall not 'acknowledge the
Regency shall be sent to France by sea ; but
few of the men will adopt this course. 'The greater
part of the garrison is composed of militia, who
desire 'to,-return to their 'homes, and I do not
doubt but that. many of the soldiers will offer 'to
serive in the 'Royal troop. 44 Accept, &c.
(Signed) Co OWS, Prince °flit:HUI:NU° HE,

[Then follow the articles of capitulation, 19 in number, which
were concluded on the llih. liy the two firditil agreed that
an officer 'shall leave 'the; place on the lath (as the French
General had proposed), and should not be obliged, to return till
the 26th : 'he shill 'go to Btirgos, where Prifice Hohenlohe
shall give him a safe conduct to lqadrid, where he may speak
with whomsoever he pleases. If on his return he confirm die,
fact stated by the French General, viz. the convention between
Ballastero* and Molitor, the capitulation of Perrol, Corunna,
and Vigo, the Governor shall 'begin 'to deliver the place to the,
French the very day the officer returns. The 15th article pro-
vides, that Spaniards, not soldiers or functionaries, who have
taken refuge in the place, shall receive passportslo return home;
and by the 16th, no Spaniard, Whether military or other, shall
be molested for ihe political opinions Ise has manifested 'to the
day of the occupation by the French troops.]
i REPORT 'OP MARSHAL LAERISTON TO TEE MINISTER
OF WAR.
" Head-Quarters, Orcoyen, Sept. 18.
I informed your nuellency, in my report of the 14th, of
the opening of the trenches'on the 10th before the citadel of
Pampelurta: this first operation having entirely succeeded, I
directed my attention to the erection of batteries, and suspended
ihe labours of the engineers who'were ready to proceed beyond
the parallel.
"'The artillery had great diffictilties to &ermine. The rain
had made tie roads so bad, that the conveyance of the cannon
and all the train was difficult. The artillery.men, with theirusual
'zeal, worked night and day in erecting batteries in the trenches
under the fire of the citadel. Iln concert with General BouCher,.
I had especially endeavoured to direatheprinelpal preparations
for the attack, to batter all 'the parts of the front attacked with
50 cannon, 16 or 'l2.pountlers, in II batteries, independently of,
31 mortars or howitzers; and 15 bateriesrfreviously erected. 'On
the 45th, the enemy had redoubled his tire to destroy the'new
batteries that were erecting, and even succeeded in damaging
two of them. Notwithstanding these obstacles, all was ready
in time, and !tottered the 'firing to begin on the Pith, in the

•
morning.
In the night attire 46th, the eugincershaving workmen. at
their disposal, completed various operations (which are describ-
ed) to facilitate the attack. '
" On the lath, at day-break, the combat commenced between
our artillerymen and those of the garrison. The superiority of
our fire over that of the place, which .was balanced at the first.
was soon manifest. Before 9 or 10 o'clock, most of the ets.
brasures of the citadel were damaged ; those of the Arran!'
tavalier of the Royal bastion ennobled to pieces as it were mule:
our fire : every shot in the stone-work had the iflect of grape -
shot, from the splinters of the stones. 1n our trenches,.on the'
contrary, our epauletnents resisted, and though many Irani,
Struck, yet most of them were buried in the earth, without
doing mischief. The enemy began to answer the fire less vigor.'
ously, having, as we have since learnt, already a great num-
ber of gunners hors de combat. Ours increased their efforts in
proportion, and constantly fired with precision,, without preci-
pitation or confusion. The result of such a contest could not
long be doubtful. The silence of the citadel slackened our
fire, which soon ceased entirely, for want of aliment. About ,
.4wer o'clock the Spanish flag was hoisted on a part of the
rampart whence it was easily to be seen ; soon after it was re•
placed by a white flag. I gave orders to 'cease the fire every
where, but to continue the works in the trenches. In the night,
an important communication was, in fact, effected, and loop-
holes were made before the bead of the aig-zags, to place there,
two together, some chosen marksmen, with orders to keep up a
constant fire on the gunners of the place.
These precautions, which might have proved not useless,
became so by the event. Gen. Dahnemont, commander of the
trenches, sent me id the evening a letter from the' Governor, who
desired to send to me officers with a flag of truce, to treat of a
capitulation. ' I replied that I was ready to receive them.--
After some explanation, I sent them back to the town the chief
of my staff, Major-General St. Cyr N'ugues, whonr I charged
With my instructions and my full powers to conclude and sign.
He returned On the 17th, in the morning, with the capitulation
which I have had the bormur to send to your Excellency,
signed in duplicate. But by virtue of my' orders, and of the
last article, be caused, aa to: left the place, the gate of Secours,
Of the citadel, and'of IA Tactment, to be occupied by some
Chosen companies. I have since sent a battalion into the citadel.
General Daitirement establishes order in the city, and prepares
barracks fur the entrance of our troops. The garrison, who are
prisoners of war, amount to 3,400 men. without loss
of time, send It, under a good escort to St. Jean Pied de Port.
I have made it lay 4.43W11 Its anris. My preceding reports bay-
ing been addresaed to' your Excellency, it will be easy for you i
to judge of the whole of the operations of the siege of Pampe-
lune, which was preceded on-the Sclof September by a brilliant
action of infantry ; commenced on the 10th, by opening the
trenches in a manner that does }mow to the engineers ; ter.
urinated on the lath by a tire of artillery vigorously and skill
fully directed, which destroyed in a few hours the defences of
the place. Against is more numerous garrison, anti which might
have hoped for succour, our army, notwithstanding our im-
mense trader iel in artillery, could certainly not have•undertaken
the siege. The infantry, by its Seal and valour, . has made up
;for all we wanted. I can say, that.the troops of every descrip-
tion have merited my praise and ,the approbation of his Royal
Highs ess the Prince fieneral.inbehier.Accept,

• cc ThefpAtai garrison of Pompeluna left it this morning at
five o'clock, for St. Jean Pied de Port, with an escort of two
battalions and a squadron, to protect it against the armed
lunteers and the iuhabitants, who are greatly exasperated ; fcr

in tile-last ante lean inany horrora have. been committed IV]
Put/vaunt.

" The garrisbn amounted to 3,1100 men'; 3,433 of whota,
including three hundred 'Officers; are gone off. Many have;
,taken their wives with therm—The wounded, who were able,,
have chosen to go with-the garrison.; onehundred and seventy
sick -and wounded remain in the hospitals. 1 know not'
how many were killed during the siege. -About. 200 of the
royal gitard who Were compilleitto servehaVeheentischarged,"
and I shall send them to Madrid. Fifty soldiers and 7 officers
of -the Armyof tile Faith Were inTthe prisons. In the garrison,
were .150 gunners of the corps of artillery, and above-100 of the.
militia of the city, 'very well exercised, at 4 2 or 300 auXiliaries,
Of the infantry, who had been long trained to this kind of ser-
vice : but when our bre commenced, it Was so well-directed and
so murderous, that it soon threw theft.' into confusion. They
were terrified at the development of our trench,and-cluilhed by
our-artillery, the fire of whiCh was such, that in four hours it
forced the garrison of the citadel and all the gunners to take re-.
(lige in the town, abandoning loaded guns, some of which were
even primed, and which they had not dared to discharge. Seven.
bombs fell on the powder magazine, which was happily proof,
but all the other buildings are very much damaged. As the
embrasures of the citadel are fated with stone, every bill that
struck one, wounded several of the gunners and attendants.—
According to the report of the Spanish officers of the garrisOn,
the signal gun was so well dircted'tbat it killed three gunners
at their piece.—Accept, &c.

":Marshal LAORISTON."
Irlere follow two dispatches, one from Marshal Moncey,and
:he oilier 'from General Rottemberg, to the Ministeiof 'War,
relative to the surrender of the Spanish division of 2,000 com-
Manded by Brigadier Fernandez, who, having been foiled in
all his endeavours to reach Figteras, capitulated on the 10th to
General Dams. There was some difficulty about 120 de-
serters, to whom General Damas, to prevent futther effusion of
blood, promised their lives, but nothing more.]

The Journal dr Debats Rives the following
intelligence in a !Otter from :Port St MaTy., dated
Sept. 14

The Prince Gene??lissino, who went to'Cliiclana to inspect
the batteries and the preparations-for an attack onSanti-Pietri,
has returned here to hasten the completion of the formidable
batteries which are constructing at the point of the Matagorda
and the Isle of St. Lotus in order to destroy Puntales.
It appears that the Ministry is changed at Cadiz. It is said
that the new 111initner for Foreign Affairs has again had re-
course to Sir W. VCourt, to whom he addressed, at Gibraltar,
a melanCholy epistle .on the situation of Cadiz. Sir Williams
communicated to the Duke of A.ngoldeme the new propositions
made by the besieged, but his Royal Highness replied that .it
was no* too ktte, and that he had henceforth resolved; though
with regretoto take by force what he had not bees'able to ob-
tain by rep/on.
Admiral Doperre is expected between the 15th and the 20th,
and limo ediately 'on his arrival the gene-pit attack will take
place.
The Madrid r latelte is quoted for the number
of French troops which have entered Spain by
the way of Trun,and which is stated to be-9.5,780.
Or this number, 161 are stated to have returned
to France in liealth, and 686 sick. The number
el Spanish prisoners sent into France is said to
'tie only 287. The artillery which entered by this
frond is said to consist' of 109 pieces of cannon,
I and 35 howitzers. _

The Restaurador hes published the following
list of the French fleet before Cadiz, viz.t—
Sures or TILE Liam—The Centaure, of il6 guns, 38 and
24 pounders; the Colosse, 80; the Trident, 80.
FRIGATES.—The Guerriere, 60 guns, 36-pounders ; the
Venus, 68; the Antigone, 44 ; the Galatie, 44 ; the Nereide,
44 ; the Thentis, 41; the Cybele; 44.
COIIVETTES.—TIie Bayadere, of 24 guns, 24.pouna carro-
nacles ; the Egerie, 20; the Mosaic, 24.

Thitas.—The Zebre, 16 earronades, 24-pounder• -; the Drs.
gon, 18 ; the Antelope, 18 ; the I4ynx, 10; the LilYoise,l6.

To this list are to be added the gun:.boats, bomb, and
howitzer vessels, making altogether more than 200. All these
light vessels mount guns of large calibre, calculated to silence
the enemy's fire.

It is.
stated, on the authority of the Restau-
rador, that the capitulation concluded between
IV/olitor and nallasteros has been annulled by the
Duke of Angouleme, on account of the defection
of the troops of the latter) and their readiness to
join ltiego.
