BOSTON, September 6.

By Capt. McAuley arrived at Philadelphia, as mentioned in our last, we have the following additional Articles from the Havannah, viz.

"That our People did not fire a Gun on the Enemy, from their entering Moro Castle to the Time of Capt. McAuley's sailing; but he was informed from good Authority, that it was determined to make a general Attack, on the 10th instant, by Land and Sea: for which purpose Batteries were erecting, and eight Sail of the Line had Orders to enter the Harbour, with others to cover them, and that he, on the 10th, being within Hearing of the Guns, actually heard the Firing begin about nine o'Clock in the Morning, and continued all Day: That the first Division of the New York Troops arrived at the Havannah, the Night before they stormed the Castle; but in going thro' the Bahama Straits, the Enterprise Man of War, and five of the Transports were lost, but all the Troops and Ships Crews saved: That the second Division, from the West Indies arrived one day after the storming of the Castle, five of the Transports being taken, with about 100 Soldiers on board, by Some French Men of War, and carried to Cape Francois: That there was the greatest Harmony betwixt our land and sea Forces, the Admiral having done every Thing in his Power to forward the Service, and the Seamen were of the utmost Use in securing the Batteries, &c. and the Duty were exceeding hard, yet it was undertaken with the greatest Cheerfulness by all concerned, and executed in the most speedy Manner imaginable: That the Fleet had made several Prizes, among which were, three Frigates, and a Sloop of War: That on the Landing of our Army the Inhabitants of two of the Villages, left their Houses and Effects, and had not returned to them, tho' the General had forbid any Plunder to be made for a Number of Days, and issued Proclamations, encouraging them to come back: That our Army and Navy were in high Spirits, hoping soon to be Masters of the whole Place: And on the other Hand, the Spaniards were as obstinate and brave as they had been thro' the Siege, and resolved to keep the Place, or lose it Inch by Inch."

The Spanish Force at the Commencement of the Siege, was 12 Ships Of the Line, 9 Frigates, 2 new Ships on the Stocks, 4000 Regular Troops, and with Marines, Sailors, Negroes, all together, were supposed to be about 18 or 20,000 Men.

The British Forces were 23 or 24 Ships of the Line, 16 Frigates and Bombs, 12,000 regular Troops, which with Marines and Sailors, &c. were supposed to be about 23 or 24,000 brave Men. Our Troops have hitherto suffered but very little, in Proportion to those of the Enemy, in Action, but the Fatigue, together with the Climate, has occasioned a considerable Sickness among them, tho' very few but what recover in a few Days, or perhaps a Week.
