[" Arrived here this afternoon, brig Sphinx,

81 have not seen any papers brought by
this arrival, but Capt. X. informs verbally,
that Marshal Soult, having been sent by the
Emperor 10 take command OF tie forces
which had fed from Spain, had collected an
army OF about 900 men, with which he
had entered SPAN by the pass OF ST. Jean Pr
ed de Port that in consequence OF this, the
combined army had raised the seigcs OF Pam
peIuna and ST. SebastiaDs, before the tornser
Of which they had had % 900, and before the
latter, ION which several Intellectual assaults
had been made,) f2,o0o men aud were con-
centrating their forces; that TWO days before
Capt R. sailed, Information was received
from Soult, that his headquarters were cs-
t,bished at Pampeluna. In regalDlng pos
session OF the passes the French had lost a.
hon, 5000 men loss of the allied army not
known but 2 or 500 English prisoners had
been sent into Bayonne. King Joseph left
Bayonne for some part OF France, few days

THE ATTACK ON SANDUSKY,
Further interesting particulars.

Further interesting particulars.
We are sorry to perceive, that all the ao
counts hitherto received concur in represent
ing the conduct Of the British on this occs
sion, 40 affording ample proof of the charac
teristic barbarity and the ssnguinary dispos'
ton of that nation, which has been called D
men protesting to be Americans, the "br|
wark Of religion," and the I" shield OF or
pressed humanity" From sources entitled
credit, we learn, that when Col. Elliott dd
manded the surrender OF the Fort, nc state
that unless his demand was promptly accedd
to, a general massacre would ensue. An
when Col. Short, who commanded tho bri
ish regulars destined to storm the Fort, IA
formed his troops in line parallel with th
ditch, he ordered them in the hearing OF ou
men, TO leap the ditch, cut down the pieket
and give the Americans no quarter. In
barbarous order, which none but sa'as
would give, was not, however, permitted
go unpunished for the words were hart
out Of the mouth Of the British commando
when the retributive justice OF p ovidt.
arrested him and the wretch was Obliged
sue for that mercy which he had deterw Inc
not 10 extend TO others. IL may be observe
mere, In nooor OF tne Cha' @SsS' VI s'S ~Ah
rican soldier, that although our little bar
were we'll aware Of the fate which the encr
had prepared for them yet they were .
sooner subdued, than the Americans forg
their crimes in their sufierings ; and Il
wounded in the ditch, whose groans and COZ
slant calls for water we're heard by cur ua<
in the Fort, were supplied with ths, neeess
ry article, on the night succeeding the di
com6iure of the enemy, by the generosity
the Americans, who, with considerable hs
ard, vcotured to risk their lives 10 order
alleviate the sufsrings OF the very meo W,
had plotted their en'ire destruction.
