the Southern fubferibers for this Gazette
do not receive it, till the intelligence has
been anticipated by papers previously re

ed that the regulations at the Poll-Office
in this city require that Printers Ihould
deposit their papers there, the day prece
ding the departure of the mail ; liewf
papers being, on account of their bulk,
sent by the ltages, which set* cis fcveral
hours before the mail is closed, occasions

Persons at a distance who wish to re
ceive this Gazette, are informed that the
terms of fubfeription cannot be dispensed
with.—One half of the fublcription mo
ney, for the half-weekly paper lately print
ed and circulated by the Editor to all parts
of the Union, is yet due, either from the
fubferibers, or collectors—and as the pub
lication of a daily paper is attended with a
heavy expense—however solicitous the
Printer may be to difleminate intelligence,
it will appear, that persisting in his former
plan of fending his Gazette to every per
son who writes for it, without securing
the fubferiptions will prove ruinous in the
extreme.
The Editor most earnestly requests these
who are indebted for his late publication,
to make immediate payment—particularly
those who have received the arrearages
from fubferibers.—Some will rccolleft that
repeated afiurances on this point, have not
been realized.

?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.

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. As
soon as he got upon the point agreed
upon, the British of my co'emn, led by
Captain Mcncrief, of the 11th regit-" t
- and preceded by Thomas Gialiam F.fq.
