Visit to St. Sebastian; 'The siege has been suspended for some time past owing to lack of ammunition; a large supply, however has just arrived and vigorous measures are expected immediately to be recommended ... Lord Wellington was on the heights here yesterday. His headquarters at Lesec (Lesca). He has ordered the great boats round; and cannon is to be brought to the heights this looks like remaining in our present position. The French will not I think venture to attack us here as the position I should consider with British troops impregnable the only possibility of advancing would be at low water and if he did not succeed in that interval he would be in a scrape' etc
