" I had, on the morning of thq
of acquainting you with the fall of this
shall sow.endeavour to give you some e _
proieedings which have fortunately led to so Nippy:
a result...--Finding.that our battery had no effect on.
'the enemy's stockade and covered gateirayi it was
determined to attempt the place by escalade at day-
light on the morning of the 15th. For this purpose
the little detachment was forms* into three different
•
parties. 't .12
,4 The first, or main body, unw- Captain Farqu-
harson and Dominicette, and Lieutenant Capon, con-1
sisting of 140 rank and file, and several seamea,froae,
the Prince of Wales and Sylph, destined to mum
'the first instance, the stockades and covered gateway,
and ultimately the fort by escalade.
" The second party, under Lieutenant
i 4 i 141114
ton, of 60 rank and file, intended principallpokinapt,
a diversion.
" The third party, of SO men, directed by Caffein.
Taylor, and for the same purpose of diversion..
" The battery was put in charge of Lieutenant
Dashwood, of the Engineers, their being no artillery
Officer wish the detachment.

' "'The men bivouacked under their different leaders
for the evening.
" The main bodfritoved off during the night with
the most perfect silence, and occupied a chowkee in
the fact of the hill, where it remained till day-light:
The second took up a concealed position opposite the
N. E. face of one of the enemy's stockades : and the
diird occupied s ravine en the S. E.
" At day-light the battery coinmencedits fire upon
the gateway and stockade ; and the 21:1 and Sd divi-
sions moved with their ladders towards the fort,
commenced a heavy fire, and made every demon-
stration to attack, which the enemy endeavoured to
prevent by a smart fire from the ramparts ; this was
the signal for the main body to advance, which it
immediately did, after leaving a reserve of 50 men
in the chowkee, and carried the stockades with the
most undaunted gallantry. The diversions were ad-
mirable; so completely did we take them by. sur-
prise, din our battery had- fired twelve shots before
they returned one; and our main body was close
upon them unobserved, just as had been planned.—
AU accounts agree, there were 750 men opposed to
us; I wish I could give you any adequate idea of the
road which we had to ascend, with two long !adders
of 18 feet each, and six shorter ones; on getting
within the full range of their fire, we were obliged
to abandon one of the largest, in order to clear the
path for the rear sections.
For ten minutes, I think, we made ao impression
whatever upon the stockades ; at last, the lower side
of the second gave way ; at this time, not more than
twenty of us had got over, and we were fearful it
might overwhelm some of the seamen who were
pushing to get forward ; fortunately 'not a man was
hurt by it, and its fall, though of little clearance to
road, inspirited the men to push forward upon
the second cross one. The stones and fire, from the
tower and covered gateway above, was now very
' hot but our advance had got to the wall and a fry
into the gateway. The ladders were twice knocked
away, and we could not force the gate ; at length, a
few of the men succeeded in getting up the hill a
little on the right, and fired well ; the ladders were
again placed, and in a trice we had the pleasuse of
seeing the rascals Hying in all directions ; we pur-
sued them towards 111uddungur, on the left, and
scaled after them ; such steeps and heights as the
fellows fled over you could scarcely imagine. If we
had had but men to have formed a fourth party on
the S. W. side, not a man of them would have esca-
ped. There cannot be less than 50 of them killed,
upon a moderate calculation.
"Our plan of attack, which was drawn up by Cap-
Cdr. Farquharson, after reconnoitering the roads and
obtaining the best information he could as to the
stockades and interior of the fort, was well conceived.
and (I trust I shall not be considered presumptuous
an-saying) happily executed, as it perfectly succeeded
in every respect. The men all behaved well, and
some with the most uncommon hravery*'

His Highness Mons-ud-cleen, one of the sons of the
late Tippoo Sultaun, has fangs a victim to the pre-
vailing disorder, cholera morius. We are sorry to
state, that the prevailing epidemic had not subsided.
From the 17th of February to the 224 of March, the
native physicians employed by Government repeat
that 4,493 natives had been attacked by it, of whom
555 had died. Instances of a fatal termination among
do Europeans attacked by do disorder were rare.
On Saturday,. the 28th of March, Calcutta was
visited by one ol* most severe gale{ experienced
for a long time. klleimmenced about half-past six
s. N. and blew from the southward with dreadful
fury for nearly half an hair. We are extremely con-
cerned to state, that Mr. Astameate, of the Ciiil
Service, and Itjt. CAutrixto, a partner in the firm
of PALMER and Co. unfortunately lost their lives in
attempting to rocs the river at the commencement
of the gale ; al td Mr. M. C. HOFFMAN, second Offi-
cer of the Ceres, *as drowned by the upsetting of a
boat. During the storm a number of ships drifted
froin their anchors, and considerable damage was
done to their masts and rigging. Several boats also
were ()versa, and many oldie natives drowned. The
lightning was particularly vivid, and the thunder at
one period awfully loud.

BERLIN, SEPTEMBER is.
The day after to-morrow we shall have the plea-
sure of seeing his Majesty the Emperor of Russia ar-
rive here. He goes on the 21st to Potsdam, &c. Soon
after, Our Monarch will set out for Aix-la-Chapelle.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince goes to Breslow,
to receive their Majesties the Empresses of Russia.

HAMBURC;II, SEPTEMBER IS.

According to Letters from the Rhine, which come
from persons worthy of credit, Prince Hardenburg,
Prince Metternich, and Lord Castlereagh, were to
meet at Spa before the opening of the Congress at
Aix-la-Chapelle. It is said that several Powers have
continued to-express an eager wish to be admitted
to the Cueigress, but have been repeatedly refused,
and referred to the original Declaration, that nothing
but the evacuation of the French territory will be
there discussed, on which the Allied Powers continue
to be all of the same opinion. It needs not to be
proved at length that this resolution is the wisest and
the best for maintaining the harmony which now
exists. The various negotiations begun at Paris on
the relations between Spain and Portugal, Spain and
its Colonies, &c. will be continued there
in-
terruption.

BATTLE OF WATERLOO.
REIIDtRG, IN HANOVERe-.The memory of the
battle of Belle-Alliance, or Waterloo, was celebrated
here, but in. such a manner as to repress every thing
like a cotnmon feeling of joy or patriotism. Hetel,
the landlord, had built a new and tastefully orna-
mented room for the bathing visitors, which was to
be first opened to the public on this occasion. In this
room the Noblesse &the neighbourhood, and a num-
ber of persons of respectability of the commonalty
(Bii-gerlietheir Standes), were invited to a dinner
end ball. The cook of the neighbouring Monastery,
Lockout, had. the charge of the arrangement of the
table, andit was disposed in the shape of A horse-shoe.
When the seats were taken, it was so contrived, that
one-half of the horse-shoe was filled by the Noblesse,
and the other by the Commoners. This division put
aft end, of course, to all social enjoyment; and im-
mediately after dinner all the Commoners left the
sksolu...-A similar event took place at this bathing-
plasm last year. For many years it had been the
praiiice of the visitors to assemble at the sound of
the trumpet to tea in the great room, where the com-
pany partook of it in common ; but last year the,
Commoners, on entering the room at the given sig-
nal, found the Noblesse already assembled in a circle,
having taken their tea, so that they were obliged to
entertain *themselves apart, and to Oman themselves
with the leavings of the others.

We have.receiVed the foilmvingletter from Buenos
Ayres, which communicates the latest and most im-
portant intelligence from that part of South America:

" BUEN'OS AYRES, JUNE► G.

" For the fast three or four weeks we have had but
little news of ar.y kind, and what there was not very
favourable : yesterday, however, the Government re-
ceived dispatches, which announce that the Patriots 1
in Chili have gained a new victory over a consider-
able body of Royalists, who had assembled them-
selves under General St. Jago, and were advancing
in aid of those, who I informed you some time ago,
were utterly defeated at Maipo. St. Jago's force ex-
ceeded 1,500 men, but they were ill armed and
equipped, and apparently did not expect that they
should be so soon fallen in with and intercepted..
" The army of the Patriots consisted of inferiorl
numbers, but of superior discipline, and better ac-
coutered : the contest was long, considering the fee-
bleness of the enemy, and to do them justice, it seems
that they fought bravely: how many were killed and
wounded I do not know, for the dispatches have not
yet been published—but it is said, that our loss is
comparatively trifling, and that General St. Jago
was taken in endeavouring to make his escape, and
of this we are certain that the victory was on our side.
As to the present state of things here little is to be
said, there have been such changes in the manage-
ment of public affairs, caused by the envy and jea-
lously of some of the members of the Government,
but none of them of much importance.

4, A little time ago there was a slight public com-
motion in this place, in consequence of some offence
taken by the people at an order regulating the sale of
provisions, but it was soon allayed, and the mercy
shewn to some of the ringleaders had a good effect ;
only two were executed, and three flogged.
I just hear that the news above given is some-
what more favourable than I imagined, but nothing
has been yet published from authority.
The Government here is using great exertions to
support General San Martin, and are embodying
with activity a considerable force to aid him in his
further attempts."
