In addition to the ordinary Turkish garrison, stationed upon the fortifications, and the crews of the boats and armed vessels, computed at about ^hree thousand, the Bashaw had called in to the defence of the city more than twenty thousand Arabs. On the 3d of August, the squadron was, at noon, within two or three miles of their batteries. The commodore observing that several of the enemy's boats had taken a station without the reef of rocks, which covers the entrance of the harbor about two mile...s from its bottom, resolved to take advantage of this circumstance, and made signal for the squadron to come within speaking distance, when he communicated to the several commanders his intention of attacking the shipping and batte- ries. The gun and mortar boats were immediately manned and prepared to cast off. At half past 1 o'clock, the squadron stood for the batteries — at 2, cast off the gun-boats; at half past 2, signal for the bombs and boats to advance and attack, and in 15 minutes after, signal was given for general action.
