This service was attended with coneid,r sale Brigs'. the route being. for a space of nearly seven miles, over deep sands. In the execution of the service on the Lake, i cannot sufficiently t merit of Lieutenant filly, of the Tigre, who had charge of this departmeGt; he was inde fatigable, and without his uncommon evrtions, on the middy whore of a shallow lake, ,it would have been imisqssible for our army to have so long main tamed its potitiwn before Rosetta. On the 13th, the enemy gave our right flank eonsielqable annoyance. by two pies in separate batteries. on the opposite bank orthe river ; of to-se it was necessary to dispossess them. Major hl•Danald, 7tith regiment, was cletseted act..ss dr_ river, in front of Abouminclour Mosque, be. ' fore day-light on the Itith, with two hundred and fifty men ; Lieutenant Robinson, of the Tigre. ac companied the Major with forty seamen, whose ser vices were particularly valuable ; he made a cir sultous marsh, aad arrived in rear of the batteries by dawn of day ; be captured acid completely de stroyed Clem, and fired several rounds into the town from their tren guns ; be than sent the guns with twelve camels and a considerable number of tents, across the river. The enemy receiving re inforcements, the Major retired, tied effeartf this service in equally good style ; although under fire from the enemy, he reins sarked the whole of his detachment in the best order, and had only losr men wounded, I have particularly to state. that mach of the gond fortune which attended this en terprise may be atr-ibuted to Cap•ain Hallowell ; by his exertions a sufficieney of small craft were di-- covered un !er water, were raised, and during the dark of Cie night of the 15-h, were 10 well prepared. that nearly the whole of the detach ment was conveyed from short to Acre at one turn. l'wenty-five armed Fellahs, who formed part of a liege body detached against us from Ceir. , , were piste Jay cal:rived nest El filmset.

We have Jose great damage to the town, and have not thrown less then three hiLidred shells from mamma alone. roe indifference, liowever, of the enemy, to the missies which are unavoidably caucecitn the inhabitants, is manifesr. Although his force he not said to 'gored three handl - es! cevaii y, eigto hondr,d Alba and vast thousand armee inhabitants, yet, (r.im the event, anJ from the peculiar nature of his lier of defence, to attempt en assault is d..eed euly not an advitahle nbaa.une.

I mutt here state the nature of the pdsitiodof s from Lace Lilko to the We is en isthmus about two miles 444 a half ia emelt, varyinm according ti the depth of water in the Lake. Ile rem of a deep clod, with high b. • cs, extend from the river heady two.C.irds across this isthmus t the banks commits' the plain on either Si le. The village of Hemet is on the soother.. side of the ca :Al, about half way across ; it. iohahisaiits were frieneils to us. On the banks of the !Cc end at Haniet are the only two reolar passes through the banks'of the a al. At run of these was posted gon, oil a priportinn of M •jor Vor Isang's de tachment. l r iris the t. rmination of the canal to tne lake is a plain, passable by cavalry. A picynet guarded this lane. f As Captain "farleton retreated, he divided his detachment ; he glireled the mares of his own tgempany to the left posi ion, and s , nt the De Rolle's; reinforced to one hundred rank and file, to Haslet village. While cr ining the plain. the latter detachment. under Captain ReinAcc's orders. was suldsnly atracked by WO cavalry, and as it should appear, was with little rppositino rout •d ; two-thirds were cut in pieces. Report of this reaching me by eleven o'clock in the finennait, detached Lieutenant-Colonel M.Lead, w two companies of the 7 5th Regiment, one of the 35 - h. a picquet of Dragoons under Captain D lancey. and a six-pounder. to reinforce the post. and take the command.
