The itfpatch if IVhich the ftlloiving is an extract, was this morning received at the office of the Right Hon, Henry Duniat y bis Majfiys fecrctary of ft ate for the borne department. .9 I R y ?Nmy d J • itch of the 24th September, I bad the bono:-1;• inform *ou that the enemy held been more itil.ve tign previous to that period ; tb, y occuuou • ally cannonaded our dijj'erent pojis, and bad ap proached bodies of nun to various points to attrdcl our attention. On the 30tb Sep.ember, at night, tbiy entered upon a daring and desperate proj.tf that met ivitb a mofl unaccountable faccef, "which fortu nately ivas nottfhng duration. The po[i of far on being the point at ivhich the enemy deter mined to male an attack to render tbemfelves maflert of Tta lon ; they carried tbeir deftgn into execution on the night of the $C tb September. The picquet of sixty men being driven from the Pas dc la Afafque, about day break, retired to the redoubt of Fur on ivhich theyfound abandoned by the Spanish garrison that bad been placed in it. 'The. enemy sometime after Uok possession of the redoubt and of the ivhole summit of ibis almofl inaccejjible mountain. By the poffefjion of the redoubt oj Far on, their communication ivas op;r, with La Valette and ivith Le Garde, ivhere the head quarters of General Garder.e are ejlablifh ed; from both which places they received conftderable reinforcements. 7he fort of Faron uuhicb is below the redoubt, having made the ftgnal of being pressed by the enemy and in want of immediate fticcour, Go vernor Elpbinpone aided Capt. Torrinuno ivi'.b 93 men of the regiment to the garrison of that pofl. At about J o'clock in the morning of the Ift October the report came to Toulon that the enemy ivas in of ike ivhole summit of the mountain of Faron. The absolute necefjity of an immediate at tack of this pofl being obvious, the mofl practicable means of regaining the summit of the tnovntaiu in tie face of an enemy, it-bo ivere hourly receiving reinfir cements, and -who ivere prepared for tbeir defense, became the only fuljeil of difcufjion. Admi ral Grairnay Brigadier General Seuleado of the Spanish troops, Brigadier General Prince de Pigna telle commanding the Neapolitan troops, Lieut. Col. Chevalier de Revel, Governor Godal, FJpbm- Jione and myfelf having affemb/ed at the Government Floufe, and having consulted intelligent persons ac quainted ivith the poffble qcceffes to the Mountain on the ftde of Toulon, it ivas determined to make the attempt on the iveflern ftde. The troops of the gar rison baiting been afJembUd on parade during the time of our deliberation, I detached Capt. Bereford of the 6<)tb regiment ivith 50 men, to fo>t Faron, to co-operate under the command of Governor Elph injlone in cafe any opportunity Jhould offer of making a diverfton on the fide tf the redoubt of Faron, in favour of our main attack, if iveJhould be so fortu nate as to reach the summit of the Mountain, ivbieh is 1,718 feet above the level of thefea. The B'itifh troops upon guard at the gate of the tout, bavi.;\ been relieved, J ivas enabled to collect 250 Britijb rank and fie, to ivhich I added 140 cbaffturs, and 16 3 grenadiers, of tb" Pidmonttfe troops (the remainder being dispersed in dfiant ports.) Ibis corps composed the column uuder my ; cammand, defined to ascend the face of the mountain from the fort of Grand St. AntAne. (I haa also ordered-SQG Neapolitan troops of the regt.de Bur gogne,tojoin my column ; but from the difference i)flanguage,fome rniflake occur ed in the delivery of the orders, and those troops did not join me.) The column of admiral Gravitia, ivhich took its route to wards the Vall on dc Valdourdin, to afcaid by that pass, mas composed f tivo companies of Pidmon tefe, )haffeurs 3 183 Spanish rank and file, and 400 Neapolitan grenadiers, and a detachment of 100 men of the regt. de Boulogne ; brigadier ere tier als Squierdo and Pignateli, -went with ibis column. The two columns marched from Toulon at 8 o clock. At the redoubt of Grand St. Ant'ine, I formed the troops under my command, in alternate buudreds of Britijb and Pidaontefe, Jireftin* them to keep in small platoons, as nearly in a line as pojfiblt, during their afent, and to form to the firji party that Jhould arrive at thefummit. An advanc ed party of ZOO of the enemy, appeared at the top of the mountain y and gave their fire at a great difiance, retiring immediately and allowing the troops to gain the height 'with no other objlacle, than that n bid the rugged andaltr.ojlperpendicular acclivity presented; the labour and fatigue of the ascent, bring considera bly increased by the great heat of the day. 'The column of General Gravina, gained the top of the mountain soon after us, luithaut having met it'ith any refinance. Capt. Mtncrief ivho led the right divifton of my column,pufhed across the mount, in, and pojfejpd himfelf of the pass de la Alafque, n-hich had been abandoned by the enemy. The top of the mountain of Faron, is interfered by a funejjibn of transversal heights, of steep af-evt from t/,e \vtjl, and rijing fuccefftvely to the eajlernmoj} extremity of thi mountain, where the redoubt of Faron is placed. 'en Chsfnut T I S E R. R CON'TIXI' ED. TOULON, O&ober 3 lit cs [Whole No. 499.] IVe found the enemy drawn up on the frcni of this I.JI ridge. The rock to the north, on the rr Oi oj tbt'pojit;or y takets by the enemy, ends in a preci pice (Wo ve the fallen tie bavures ; hje gr>vnd which lay between the right of the enemy and the coltitr.ii under my ctvwiuhd t is a low ridge / forming the narrow head oj a deep valley, which defends to the fonthward\ widening itfelf by a gradual turn to the eajiward, fa as to form ajleep fide to the left funk oj the enemy s p'jiiion, and ending on the fji ftrnmit of an interior ridge of the fountain dirc£i!y above the tour as Toulon. The enemy were formed in a fine on the front of tije eminence, and with.n mullet jb-jt of our pojittou. In front if (he right of the enemy s principal l'nc % and on the cr.Jj oj the ridge wbub forms the head oj the valley, they Bad an advanced <juard of about 50 men ; in the rear of their right jlaok, which did not reach up to the precipice, a body of about ICO men were placed on Echtllon ; a cOnjiderab > body was plated on toter.ee behind the icjt oj their line ; and in front of their left funk was placed an adven led guard, fmita? to that on the tight ; in the rear balj way between the redoubt arid the firjl line, o (hong cot at/in «*«'/.r placed in rejnve ; and the pa rapet of the redoubt was li ed with men. The pojl oj the enemy commanded very conftderably over every part oj the position which we were obliged to occupy, '7be left column, under my command, arrived frjl in pr cj nee of the enemy. I placed the greatejl part oj it under cover of a riftng ground, behind the tiof roxv crefl oj the valley over which I was to pass, when the attack jtoud be made The column of General Gravna J'oqn after also in pr eft nee f the enemy the farmed his line on an height, which extended beyond the left oj the enemy*s po/ftjcn y and was feperatedfrom the height on which I bad ta ken pojl by a branch of the great valley, running to the wefiward, and forming a dip between the pojls occupied by our reff>et?ivc divifons. I immediaU ly sent notice of our being in preface of the enemy (by an ofjic er, who teas obliged to make a cOnjiderab 'e circuit Jto Governor Elpb.nfone, who was at tort l'arnn. A brifle fire begun by the advanced polls of t!>e enemy, took place at this time between them andgeneivl Gravina's line, and a fire alio commenced 011 the fide of Fort Faron by the corps under the command of Co', del Pen to, again ft the Potence, (or return line) of the enemy's position, which could not however, at that time, produce its effects, and was soon after very judiciously dil'continucd. At I could plainly perceive from the polt 1 occupied, that no imprefiion couid be made from a fire across the deep part of the valley, and that there was a deiedl in the disposition of the enemy's left, I went to the right, to communicate mv obler vations to Gen. Gravina ; and it was then agreed that the corps under the command ot that general should its lighv, into the valley, and march, under cover of the ascent on the left of the enemy, to attack them on that flank, which they had injudiciously placed upon the extreme fi-mm it of the hill, so as not to have the command of the' whole descent as they might have had, by placing themselves a little below the brow. It was agreed al so, that the left column under my com mand, (hou'idjendeaver to attract the atten tion of the enemy during (his movement, and that when Gen. Gravina should have attained a certain point, [ ihould move forward, and the general attack be made. On my return to the left (General Gra vina having already began his movement) I produced my whole force to the view of the enemy. Ihe operation answered cur utrnoft wilh. Ihe enemy marched reinforcements to the right of their line, and appeared in expectation of an immediate attack from my column. During this period Gen. Gravina proceeded down the valley, and came unperceived up the fide of the hill occupied by the enemy ; the line of march round this steep and rocky ascent being explored, witii infinite intrepidity and judgment, by Serjeant' Moriio, of the Spaiiilh marines, and 3 foHiers of hs corps to within pistol shot of the enemy's line. 1 he whole' creil of the mountain of Fa ron being a hard grey rock, without vegi tation and in fonie parts broken into Oiarp and Jooie pieces, which render walking very difficult, the march of General G-a vina's column was neee.Tariiv flow.
