MAY 27.—We learn from Gerona,' that on the

4th instant an attempt to carry by assault the fort of
Mataro, built in the old garden of the Capuchins,
was made by thi insurgents under the command of
Milans. They were suppotttd by two English ships
of tlte line, a frigate, and six corvettes. The Com-
mandant received a summons to surrender, signed
Mans, in the name of Lacy, importing, that if the
fort was not immediately s.turendered, 10,000 men
were ready to mount to the assault. The Comman-
dant, Chevillard, refi:ed, that a French officer never
surrendered as long as be had powder and ball; and
that if the escort of the flag of truce did not retire in
ten minutes, it should be fired upon. On this unex-
pected reply the attack commenced : the cannon
placed by the English near the Capuchin convent, at
the extremity of the town, opened their are, hut did
no damage, except to some houses used as barracks.
.A. battery, consisting of two large pieces of artillery,
and placed on the side of the mountain, only injured
the town witkent touching ti:e frt. The enemy suc-
ceeded in, a ffeciing a breach : at midnight they at-
tempted an assault on all points, hut were yip loud)/
repulsed. At last, hard presed by his Excellency
the Commander-in•Ctiief, they were compelled In te-
inibark, afer losing a t umber of men ; and the
Trench gained possession 01 the battery.
