SIR SIDNEY SMITH.

Extract of a dispatch from Captain SIR W. SMITH to Rear Admiral LORD NELSON, dated H.M.S. Le TIGRE, Bay of ACRE, 9 May 1799.

" I accordingly landed the boats at the Mote, and took the crews up to the breach armed with pikes. Many fugitives returned with us, and the governor, JEZZAR PASHA, hearing the
English were on the breach quitted his customary station to join us there. __ The energetic old man coming behind us, pulled us down with violence, saying if any harm happened to his English
friends all was lost. This amicable contest was to who should defend the breach, occasioned a rush of Turks to the spot; and thus time was gained for the arrival of the first body of HASSAN BEY'S troops."

To JOHN SPENCER SMITH, Esq. L.L.D. F.R.S. &c &c &c This Print executed under his obliging patronage is respectfully inscribed by his most humble servant ANTHONY CARDON
