The following is thu continuation Of the
operations of the siege of Rosas:
| On the 2Sth, at ~ O'Clock at noon, sum-
mons was sent, to which no answer was re-
turned.
Information has been received, by % de-
serters, that the city had suffered very con-
sderaby; that an insurrection had broken
out among the inhabitants who wished TO
capitulate, and that this captulation would
already have taken place, if the English had
not abused the liberty they have to escape
by sea, and thus oblige the fortress to hold
out. 80.
a very brilliant and honorable action, for
his majesty's troops, has made us masters of
the town adjoining the fortrcsses. The con-
sequence is, that we are at a very small dis
tance from the citadel, and precisely ON the
side which was formerly blown up by the
explosion of a powder Magazine, and the
wall of which is but badly repaired
a breach battery Is established opposite
this bastion; 1t was established on the 28th,
III the evening, as had also been another bat
terry opposite the Same front These works
are going on brskly; but from the nature of
the ground such considerable difficulties
occur, that the battery cannot be in state
for firing until the 5ih day
A battery has also been established on tho
port. in the town, the FIRE of which being di-
| rected against the marine gate of the fort,
