Official Report cf Commodore Sir Sydney Smith to the
Ottoman Porte, refpefting the jiege cf the to~.: n oj’
Acre by the army of Buonaparte.
Confiantinople, May 23.
Buonaparte, after quitting Lalahie. employed eight days
in crofling the defart. In this inarch he ioft a great rhf.riy”
men and horP.s by bad provisions and the want of vater.
as well as oy tlie iword of the Arabs, who never ceale to
harass him.- On leaving the defart he . >k poflVflion of
J.ruifla, and • afterwards ot Gaza, Lid ia, and Ramie,
whitu were ill defended Wy the Toops of Giiez-:ar Pacha.
011 the 3d.of March he was close to J if)t, which he took
by aiTault on the 7th, after having,battered in breach. The
Turks made vigorous relifhnc.e, and the French were in
a manner obliged to lay fiegc to every lioufe. The whole
garrison were jput to the (word; but tliis afLult coff Bu
aparte almofi 1200 men. Oh the 17th of Mar< h cue Ge
neral entered CaifFe, and on the 1 Bth lie inveflcd •> . John’
of Acre. Commodore Sir Sydney Smith left Gmit.tntin
ople on the 19th of February, arrived off Alexandria on
the 3d of March, after flopping fome days at Rhodes,
and taking on his paff.'ge the French gun boat ia Mari
anne. On the 3d Commodore Trowbridge failed for Si
cily, and Sir Sydney Smith took upon linn the chief com
mand of the naval forces. On the 7th Sir Sydney pro
ceeded towards the coast of Syria, and on the 1 ith arrived
before CaifFe; on the 15th he fleered for St. John of
Acre, to concert with Ghczzar Pacha, having got the
flart of the I rend: bf two da) s, which he employed in
making preparfttons for the defence of the place. On the
16th, about Bin the evtmin.:, after a chafe of 3 hours,
the. Commodore took, off Cape Carmel, tb* Fn-n h I
flotilla, under the command of Lydoun, Chef de Division-, !
laden with heavy cannon, ‘ammunition, platfenns, iia j
other articles neceflaiy for Buonaparte’ army to under- |

lmmetllately mounted-on the ramparts ot Acre, against the 1
lines and batteries of the enemy, .as well as on gun vessels.
Ihe latter were employed with the greateilfuccefs against
the enemy’s flank, and forced them to Uacken their lire. I
Ihe nature of the ground*, however, permitted the French ■
to carry their trenches within half a mulket fliot of the ;
ditch of the place.
On the 24th of Tvlarcli Commodore Smith took h c -
bec from Damietts-fadcT with Tice, Hour, and biicuit, for
Buonaparte.
On the 30th of March the French, having formed a
breach in the northeast part of the town, endeavored to
take it by a {fault, but were vigorously repulf'cd by the
garrison with considerable loss. The ditch was filled with
dead bodies. The troops of Ghezzar Pacha afterwards
made three fuccefsful forties; the object of the lift was to
dtftroy a mine, which the enemy hed conitrucled under
the covered way to the northeast, in order to fill up the
ditch nearnhe old breach. The English took charge of
this enterprise, and, while 2000 Turks effected the ionic,
they jumpvd into tlie mine, and, fuiduig that the works
were net quite fini/hed, tore down the supports, and de
stroyed the whole conftruftion. The Engliih in this bold
attempt loft only Major Oldfield of the marines and one
private; Licuts. Wright and Jauverin of the navy, Mr.
Beatty, an officer of the marines, and 20 loldiers, were
wounded. Alter that an uninterrupted fire was kept up
from the place, the artillery being served by the Engltfli
and Turkifli artillerymen, who had set cut from Conttan
tinople on the sth of March. The enemv’s fire then ceaied
entirely; as Buonaparte wiilied to reserve his ammo ufion
for a lafl effort, which gave no une'alinefs to Col. Phillip
eaux, the chief Engineer in the place.

Repa tentative Arene mounted tlie tribune, and spoke to
the following effect: “ Citizens, brothers, and friend-!
