BAYONNE, MAY 3.

The following details relative to the siege of As-
torga, may be relied on as authentic. General Loi-
son, on arriving in front of that city, sent in a sum-
mons, which had no effect. The General, having
no artillery with h'm hot field-pieces, could not Un-
dertake ch:cisive operations. He resolved, therefore,
to wait a few days before breaking ground. This'
delay lnsp.r:,(4 the besieged with such insolence, that
their C( ram: nder would not receive a letter which
+.; subsequently alliessed to him by the Duke of
Abrantes. His Excellency resolved upon a prompt
chastisement of their temerity. He ordered a part of
the. division Cl.iusel, and the division Solignac, to
cemmence the operations preparatory to the siege.
11•ey were terminated with the utmost celerity.
The moment the heavy artillery arrived from Val-
ladolid, a cannonade of 48 hours took place, when a
procticable breach was effected. The besieged then
bent a flag of ti uce to the General, who gave them!
for answyr, that he would order an assault, if they
did not setTendc- within one hour. The flag of truce
returned, and at the expiration of the hour, no an-

of picked mer to mount the breach, under the corn-
!rand of his A He-de-Camp, Captain Legrave. Our
