LENCT THE MINISTER OF WAR.

" Oacoirms, Sam 5,1823.

44 Mosatton Ls MmtscHAL—The works that I
was obliged to construct yesterday, in order to fortify
the different posts we had occupied, prevented our
Generals from concluding their reports in sufficient
time to enable me to forward them to-day to your
Excellency by the estafette, who is obliged to leave
here early, in order to arrive in due time at Tolosa.
" I have, however, to state that we are now in the
Fauxbourgs we have taken; notwithstanding the
proximity to die town, and the continual fire of the
enemy.'

" In my report of yesterday on the attack whith
was made in the morning, I omitted to mention the
cavalry'; namely, a squadron of the 3d hussars,
which was with General Pecheux, and particularly a
squadron of the 3d chasseurs, who followed in the
attack made against the Rocheappea, to support the
infantry against the sorties which were made on that
point. This squadron, which acted as tirailleurs, was
long exposed to the fire of grape-sbot, which it stood
with the utmost firmness, having only one chasseur
severely and another Slightly wounded—the Chief of
the squadron, d'Alloigny, who received a contusiosu

44 Theartillery was directed with great precision/
and though at rather too great distance, maintained
its attack on the Fauxbourgs. It will continue to fire
from time to time, until the opening of the trenches,
which I hope will take place in a few days. The
gabions and the fascines, as well as the artillery
will be wholly brought up after to-morrow.
Oar soldiers will certainly open the trenches with
great resolution, for in open day they brave the
grape-shot.. Although I. will not permit them to es'
pose themselves uselessly, yet their ardour is so great
that when our artillery begins to play I doubt not
but the siege will proceed very rapidly.
" The wound of Colonel S. Gilles, which it was
feared was dangerous, is doing well, and I hope I
shall preserve this brave Officer at the head of Isis
regiment.—l have the honour to be, &c.

- Our arrivals from Bayonne this morning, bring
rather speculative rumours than authentic intelli-
gence. The news of the capture of the Trocadero
had reached Bayonne, but no details are given. The •
affair before Pampeluna is alluded to ; and it is said
that the garrison made a sortie, in which the French
suffered severely. Of BALLAITIMOS the reports are ,
the most contradictory. It is said he complains of, .
having bad his conduct misrepresented, and that he
had, only agreed to a cessation of hostilities on the as-
surance that negotiations for peace were far ad-
vanced.

_

The surrender of Cosurina is now ascribed to the
treachery of the Governor, who was formerly is
America with Morillo, and is his particular friend
the works of the ph!ce had not at all suffered, aad the (
garrison had not above fifty killed.
Detachments of sick from the army continue to
arrive at Bayonne. The military hospital there now
contains 600, though some have been sent to the
hospitals in the neighbouring towns.

Bremen Papers to the sth instant, Brussels Papers
to the 10th, and the Austrian Observer to the 28th

HAMBURGII, AUGUST 22.
Our Tariff of Customs is at length definitively set-
tled, at least for three years ; the Citizens, in their
Assembly yesterday, having adopted, by a majority
of votes, the new proposal of the Senate, viz. " To
leave the Import Duties hitherto existing unaltered
for that period, and to reduce the Export Duties of
li and per Cent. to ti."

Windsor will be the future residence of his MA-
JESTY during the Summer and Autumn ; the Spring
and Winter will be passed in London and Brighton.
We understand that his MAJESTY has given in-
structions for the renovation of the ancient Palaces
of Holyrood and Eltham ; and has also expressed
a desire that a grant should be made out of the proper
funds, for the repair of the ancient Cathedrals of
Glasgow and St. Andrew.
