Copy of a letter from Admiral Lira Kurn, K.B.
to JOHN WILSON CHOKER, Esq. dated on board the
Royal Sovereign, in H.tnio.tze, 18th September, 1813,
with copies of its inclohures.
SIR—I lave the highest satisfation in transmitting
to ;their Lordships the accompanying dispatches
(which I have just received by Captain Bloye from
Captain Sir G. R.. Collier) giving an account of the
fall of St. Sebastian and the surrender of the French
garrison ; and the professional skill and perseverance
of the offiCers and men who have been employed in
co•operat;on with the army before that place has been
so eminently conspicuous, and particularly that of Sir
G. R. Collier himself, thiVl Beg to recommend him,
and the several officers and petty officers whom he
inames, to their Lordships' notice. I have the honour
to be, itc. (Signed) KEtTit, Admiral.
P. S.' Captain Bloye landed at Falmouth, and as
he may be able to give their Lordships mucl useful
information, I have directed him to deliver this
dispatch.

Surveil!ante, off Si. Sebastian, September 9.
MY LORD—It is with sincere phasure that Ido
myself the honour to report to your Lordship the
fall of St. Sebastian, the northern Gibraltar of Spain.
Yesterday, at 10 A. rd. the breaching and mortar
batteries opened a most ruinous fire against the Cas-
tle of La Moue, (situated on the crown of the hill)
and the abjoining works.
In a very short time'General Rey, the governor,'
sent out a Rig of truce to propose terms of capitula-
tion, which were concluded at Gve in the evening,
when the Battery du Gouverneur and the Mirador
Were immediately taken possession of by our troops.

The garrison, still upwards of seventeen hundred,
became prisoners of war, and are to he conveyed to
England from Passages.
At this season of the year the possession of San
Sebastian becomes doubly valuable ; it may be con-
sidered the western key of the Pyrennees, and its
importance as to the future operations of the Allied
Army is incalculable. The tpwn and works have
sufferered considerably, and it must be a long time
before the former can recover its original splendour.
I cannot, however, avoid congratulating your Lord-
' ship on its fall on any terms, as the gales now blow
home, and the sea is prodigious & all the squadrons
were yesterday forced to sea, with the exception of
the Surveillante and President.
The former good conduct and gallantry of the
seamen landed from the squadron, under Lieutenant
O'Reilly, of the Surveillante, and serving in the
breaching batteries, have been most conspicoously
maintained. Lieutenant Dunlop, as well as Mr.
14ersh (having sufficiently recovered from his wound)
were also at their fOrmer poll.
The Surveillante's twenty-four pounder, mounted
on Santa Clara, and dragged np by Captain Smith,
of the Beagle, were admirably served by a party
landed from the Revolutionnaire, Magicienne, and
Challenger ; their fire had totally silenced the ene-
my's guns opposed to them. Captain Smith speaks
in high terms* the general zeal evinced by all un-
der his orders. The most perfect cordiality was
maintained between the ufficers and seamen under

Captain Smith and the party of the 9th vgiment
• -
under Captain Cameron.
The Caplain: and Commanders of the vessels
named in the margin,* have all been usefully em-
