t ur opean method, under Sultan Selim’s ~ vn eve , and placed by his Imperial Ma ; llv’j express commands at my disposal. *Ttie virrifon, animated bv the appearance of i nch a reinforcement, was nowall on faot. and there being consequently enough to defend the breach, I proposed to the Pa cha to get rid of the objeft of his jealousy, bv opening his gates to let them make a {ally and take the alTailanfs in Hank ; he readily complied, and I gave directions to the colonel to get possession of the enemy’s third parallel, or nearest trench, and there fortify himfelf by (Lifting the parapet out wards. This order being clearly under flood, the gates were opened, and the Turks ruffled out, but they were not equal to fucha movement, and were driven back to the town with loss. Mr. Bray, howev er. as usual, protected the town gate effi caciouflv with grape from the 68 poun ders. The sortie had this good effect, that it obliged the enemy to expose themselves above rheir parapets, so that our flanking fire brought down numbers of them, and drew their force from the breach, so that the (mall number remaining on the lodg ment were killed or dispersed by our few remaining hand grenades thrown by Mr. Savage, midfhipman,of the Thefus. * The enemy began a new breach by an inces sant fire direCted to the i'outhward of the lodgment, every {hot knocking down whole flieets of a wall much less folidthan that of the tower on which they had ex pended so much time and ammunition. The groupe of Generals and Aids de Camp which the (hells from the 68 poun ders had frequently dispersed was now re assembled on Richard Cceur de Lion’s Mount. Buonaparte was distinguishable in the centre of a semicircle ; his gefticu lations indicated a renewal of attack, and his dispatching an Aid de Camp (hewed that he waited only for a reinforcement.— I gave directions for Haffan Bey’s (hips to take their station in the {hoal water to the southward, and made the Tigre’s signal to weigh and join the Theseus to the north ward. A little before sunset a mallive co lumn appeared advancing to the beach with a solemn step. The Paftia’s idea was not to defend the brink this time, but ra ther to let a certain number of the enemy in, and then close with them, according to the Turkish mode of war. The column thus mounted the breach unmolefled, and descended from the rampart into the Pafha’sgarden, where in a very few mi nutes the bravest and most advanced a mongst them lay headless corpses, the fa ta, with the addition of a dagger in the other hand, proving more than a match for the bayonet; the rest retreated precipitate ly; and the commanding officer, who was seen manfully encouraging his men to mount the breach, and who we have since learnt to be Gen. Lafne, was carried off wounded by a musket (hot. Gen. Rom baud was killed. Much confufion arose in the town from the aftual entry of the enemy, it having been impofiible, nay im polic, to give previous information to e verv body of the mode of defence adopted left the enemy should come to a know ledge of it by means of their numerous tmiffaries. The Englifti uniform, which had hith erto served as a rallying point for the old garrison whenever it appeard, was now in die dusk mistaken for French, the newlv drived Turks not diftinguiffiing between fine hat and another in the crowd, and thus many a severe blow of a fabre was psrried by our officers, among which col. Douglas, Mr. Ives, and Mr. Jones, had nearly loft their lives, as they were forcing tjiftr wav through a torrent of fugitives, '-aim was restored by the Pallia’s exer tions ’ aided by Mr. Trotte, just arrived t'i s h Halfian Bev, and thus the contest of hours ended, both parties being so fati b'Jed as to be unable to move. Buonaparte will no doubt renew the at l-c<, the breach being, as above deferibed, Perfectly prafticable for 50 men abreast ; lr > -eed the town is not nor ever has been etenGble according to the rules of art, but Wording to every other rule itmuft and •'id be defended, not that it is in itfelf but we feel that it is bv breach Buonaparte means to march to "jrconqueft,. ’Tison theiffue of this ‘,.

All the hopes of drawing the king of Prulua into a war are entirely vanished. This prince has confirmed his neutrality, and has made a formal declaration of such his intentions to count Panin, the Ruffian ambassador. This minister was at the wa ters of Calfbad, in Bohemia ; a meflage from the Prussian cabinet caused his return to Berlin, where, to his great furprize, this invaluable resolution of his majesty was notified to the count, He immediately took his audience of leave, and expressed his fears ofthe manner in which his sov ereign would confiderthis determination, bhould it unhappily produce .anv threats or hoitile dispositions on the part of Ruf fia, the evil will be much aggrivated, as it muff draw Prulfia into an alliance with the rrench ; all the powers who pretend to preserve their neutrality, will follow the impulse.
