crenelated by the Arabs, sad from which we were able to
keep them is Check, whin our wordiness proceeded rapidly
in cutting down paint-trees to the number of 250. Toe
Arabs, however, at length emcee tasted themselves at the
end Odle wall. I had several times ebarged Capt. Butter,
of thin e 3rd infantry, to fop • strict observation on that la.
pretest point, sad Ise
hereplied that he weuM be responaible for
it, wham soon alter was Wink bye musket-shot. One of
his sees was abet at the same moment The Arabs then
attacked the wall at the limit of oar lisle, whi:h they were
set able to get over. They were very numerous. They
seasiied as with stones, which they threw from behind the
wall. At length they got on the too of it and disanarged their
pi tole sad mosketi. We received them with a volley of
musketry. A reran of 20 grenadine advanced under
Capt. Byks so support the infantry, sad we then took up
mother polities, which enabled us to keep the enemy at a
greater divines. Tlie arrival of this reinforcement enabled
the workmen to proceed with the cutting down the trees. A
still fanner is atonement then came up. During this time
the grenadiers, who hat been posted on a small hillock, end
the African light infantry, sustained with great bravery the
reiterated attack, of me Arab.. I most not omit to mention
that the commandant of the Zoave. sent a further reinforce-
