I.7ISWNING.STRRET, SEPTEMBER 19..
Major WYernicam arrived this evening 'with a dis-
etch from Field-Marshal the Marquess of Wxuarro-
ow, dated Lezaca, the 10th-of September, of which
e following is an extract : ,
A battety was constructed in the hoftwork, with
reat difficulty, against the worked the de of San
bastian, which opened on the morning -of the Bth
nstant ; and I have the pleasure to inform you, that
the garrison surrendered before. evening. I enclose
Lieutenant-Geneial' Sir Thomas Graham's report,
and the terms of the capitulation agreed upon with
the gartiscin, and, returns'of ordnance, ammunition,
#c. in the place. The loss of the garrison during the
siege, is stated to have amounted to two-thirds of their
numbers at its commencement.
I beg leave again to draw your Lordship's atten-
tion to the conduct of•Lieutenant-General Sir Thos.

Graham, and of the General'Officers and troops under
his command, in the arduous operation of which I
am now reporting the successful close. Under the or-

donnance recently issued by the French Government,

the difficulties of the oper'ations of a siege,. and the

length of time it must take, are greatly increased,
and they can be brought to a conclusion only by the
storm of the breacl of the body of the place. The
merit of success therefore is proportionably increased,

and k will be found, that the operations did not last

longer than has usually been required for a place

which possessed three lines of defence) including the

convent of St. Bartholomew.

During the operations against the castle, the navy
took charge of the attack from the island of Santa
Clara, by which the enemy was much annoyed in
his . position in the castle. Captain Sir George
Collier, and the officers, seamen, and marines, have
continued to afford every assistance in their power,
and Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Graham parti-
cularly mentions Captain Bloye, of the Lyra, and
Captain Smith ; and LieutenamColOnel Dickson,
commanding the artillery, has reported his obliga-
tions to Lieutenant O'Reilly, of his Majesty's ship
Serveillante, who commanded the seamen employed
in the batteries.

Since my last the enemy have collected their troops
towards their left, but have again resumed their old
positions since the fall of San Sebastian.
It api:ears by a report from the Duque del Parquet

that when the third Spanish army were recently
crossing the Ebro, at Amposta, after the Allies }ad
retired from bel6re Tarrag<ma, the enemy made a
sortie from Tortosa, on the 19th ultimo, along the
left bank of the Ebro, with about four thousand
men, and -attacked the third division of the army.
The Duque del Parque detached troop, from the
right bank, under the commaild of Din Francisco

Ferray, the Ct:ief of the Staff of the Army, and the

enemy were immediately repulsed with considerable
loss. It appears that the troops conducted themselves
remarkably well on this occasion, and the Duque
del Parque highly applauds the conduct of the Chief
of the Staff.
Extract of a I.etter from Lieuti

Sir Taos. GRAHAM

to the Marquess of WELLIN Grox, dated Ernanl, Sept. 9.

I have the sat4faction to report to your Lordship,
that the Castle of San Sebastian has surrendered ;
and I have the honour to transmit the Capitulation,

which, tinder all the circumstances of thi case, I trust
your Lordship will think I did right to grant to a
-garrison which certainly made a very gallant defence.
Ever since the assault of the 31st ultimo, the ver-
tical fire of the mortars, &c. of the right attack was
occasionally kept up against the Castle, occasioning
a very severe loss to the enemy ; and yesterday mor-
ning a battery of seventeen twenty-four-pounders in
the hornwork, another of three eighteen-pounders, gill
znore on the left, having been completed by the extra-
ordinary exertions of the officerkof artillery and engi-
neers, aided by the indefatigable zeal of all the troops;
the whole of the ordnance, amounting to 54 pieces,
including two 24-pounders, and one howitzer on
she island, opened at 10 4.14. against the Castle, and
with such effect, that before 1 P.w.„ a flag of truce
was bohted at the Mirador Battery by the enemy ;
and'after some discussion, the terms of the surrender
were agree oa. Thus, giving your Lordship another
great result of the campaign, in the acquisition to the
Allied Armies of this interesting point on the coast,
and near the frontier.
Captain Stewart, of the Royals, Aid-de-Camp to
Major-General Hay, who so greatly distinguished
himself during the siege, is unfortunately among the
killed since the last return.
I om tted in my last report to mention my obliga.
*lns to the gleat zeal of Captain Smith of the Royal
t 1 nha undertook and executed the difficult task
of getting guns up the steep scarp of the island into
a battery which was manned by seamen under his I
command, and which was of much service. Captain
j3loye, of the Lyra, has been from the beginning con-
stantly and most actively employed on shore, and I
feel greatly indebted to his services.
Besides the officers of artillery formerly mentioned,
who have continued to serve with equal distknction,
I should not omit the names of Captains Mo4rison,
Power, and Parker, who have been constantly in the
breaching batteries, and in the command of cum-
panics. I beg leave to repeat my former recomcnen-
