From the LONDON GAZETTE, September 10.
Admiralty Office, September 10.
y\ LETTER from Capt. Sir Sidney Smith, of his Ma
jedy’s (hip Tigre, to Evan Nepean, Esq. Secretary
to the Admiralty, with its enclosures, of which the fol
lowing are copies, were yederday received at this office.
C°fy cf a letter from Capt. Sir William Sidney Smith,
cf his Majfly’s Jhip Tigre, to Evan Nepean, Esq.
dated of Mount Lebanon, June 16, 1799.
Sir Morton Eden has forwarded a duplicate of your
letter of the 4th of May, informing me of the failing of
the French fleet from Bred. I take for granted this fleet
is bound for these seas to support Buonaparte’s operations,
not knowing that his expedition to Syria has completely
failed, as the enelofed duplicates will inform their I.ord
diips.
My Lord, Tigre, May 9, 1799.
I had the honor to inform your Lordfliip by my letter
of the 2d infl. that we were bulily employed completing
two ravelins for the reception of cannon to flank the ene
my’s neared approach.es, diflant only ten yards from them.
They were attacked that very night, and almod every
rnght since, but the enemy have each time been repo He'd
with very conddcrable loss; the enemy continued to batter
in breach with pvogrefiive'fuecels, and have nine several
times attempted to dorm, but have as often been beaten
back with in.menfe daughter. Our bed mode of defence
has been frequent forties to keep them on the defenfive,
and impede the progress of their covering works. We
have thus been in one continued battle ever since the be
ginning of the liege, interrupted only at short intervals by
the excelkve fatigue of every individual on both Tides.

the centre of this column with evident effect, andche hi ■

and made a lodgment in the second dory cf the north S I
tower, the upper part being entirely battered down Z I
the ruins m the ditch forming the afoent bv which’fo I
mounted. Daylight flrewed us the French dandard on til I
outer angle of the tower. The fire of the befiegedwa 1
much flat lined m ccmparifon to that of the befiegm aad 1
our flanking fire-was beceme cf less tfila, the enemy hav 1
ing covered themselves in this lodgment and the arioach I
to it by two tra writs across the ditch, which they had con- I
ftruidcd under the fire-that had been opposed to them dur. I
ing ti e w ole.of the night, and which were now fiencom! 1
poled cf fond b- gs and the bodies of their dead built'm I
with them, their bayonets only beirg visible above them, I
ii.ilkm Bey’s troops were in the.boats, though as yet bat
halfway on fliore. This was a mod critical point of the I
-contdl,. and an effort was necessary to preserve the nhr.
for a short “time till their arrival. >; P
I accordingly landed the boats at the Mole, and took
the crews up to the breach armed with pikes. Theenthufi
atiic gratitrilt of the lurks, men, women, and children,
at fight of such reinforcement at such a time is not to be ‘
deferihed. ’ y ■
Many fugitives returned-with us to the breach, Which
we found dei,:ndea oy a few brave Turks, whose miff de*
dn*Aive mifiile Weapons were heavy flones, which, striking
ti’.e alfoilants on the head, overthrew the fofiemoft down
the slope, and impeded the progress of the reff. A suc
cession, however, afeended to the assault, tie heap'd
ruins between the two parties serving as a fcreaflwprk for
both, the muzzles of theirmufkets touching, andthefpear
heads of the danclards locked. Gezza Pacha, hearing the
Englifli were on the breach, quitted his Ration, where,
according to tire antient lurkifli cuflom, he was fitting to
reward such as fliculd bring him the heads cf the enemy,
and- didributing miifket cartridges with his own hands.
Ihe energetic old man coming behind us pulled us down
with violence, faying, if any harm happened to h*is Eng* /
lid: friends all was 1011. This amicable’tojrtefl as to who
diould defend the breach occafionecl a rufli of Turks to the
spot, and thus time was gained for the arrival of the fiifl
body of Haffan Bey’s troops. I hid now to-iombat the .
Pacha’s repugnance to admitting any troops but his Alba
nians into the garrison of his feragl e, become a very im
portant pod, as occupying the terre plein of the rampart.
1 lit re’ w ere not above 200 of the original 1000 Albanians
left alive. I his was no time for debate, and I overruled
his objections by introducing the Chifßick regiment, of
1000 min, .aimed with bayonets, difdplined after the
European method, under Sultan Selim’s .own .eve, and
- by his Imperial MajeAv’s express commands at my
ciifpofal. Ihe garrison, animated by the appearance of
luch a reinforcement, was now all on foot, and there be
ing consequently enough to defend the breach, I proposed
to the Paffia to get rid of the objc of his jealousy, by
opening his gates to let them make a sally and take the
alfoilants in flank; he readily complied, and I gave direc
tions to the Colonel to get pofftflion of the enemy’s third
parallel, or neared trench, and there fortify hittifelf/by
(hiding the parapet outwards. This order being clearly*
undtrftood, the gates were opened, and the l urks ruflied
cut, but’they were not equal to such a movement, and
were driven back to the town with loss. Mr. Bray, how
ever, as usual, p rote fled the town gate, efficacioufly with
grape from the 68 pounders. The sortie had this good
that it obliged the enemy to expose themselves a
bove their parapets, lb that our flanking fire brought down
numbers of them, and drew their force from the breach,
lo that the lmall number remaining on the lodgment were
killed or difperl'ed by our few remaining hand grenade*
thrown by Mr. Savage, Midshipman, of the Theseus.
The enemy began anew breach by an incessant fire di
rected to the southward of the lodgment, every (hot
knocking down whole flicets of a wall much less solid than
that of the tower on which they had expended so much
time and ammunition.
*1 he groupe of Generals and Aids du Camp which the
(hells from the 68 flounders had frequently difperfod was
now reassembled 011 Richard Coeur de Lion’s Mount. Bu
onaparte was diflinguWhabJc in the centre of g semicircle;
his gediculations indicated a_ renewal of attack, and his
dispatching an Aid du Camp to the camp shewed that he
waited only for a’ reinforcement. I gave directions for
Haffan Bey’s ships to take their Aation in the shoal water
to the southward, and made the Tigre’s signal to weigh
and join the Theseus to the northward. A iittie before
