TAKING Of ST- JEAN D'ACRB.

As regards the subject of foreign intelligence, one great event has just occurred, the interest and importance of which entirely and very justly fills up and occupies the public mind. In public as in private affairs, whatever thus engromes the mind and appeals directly to our most powerfn passions and most paramount interests, posses- see the Instant elect of renbring everything else vapid and tedious; the mind refuses to admit any other notion or idea than what belongs to the engrossing object, and darts and averts from any other subject as something which stops and opposes the train and current of our

leading t hts.

It will be immediately understood that we are here ofthe glorious ca ture of St Jean d' Acre by fiilleet intelligence, and the

min“ particulars ofwhich, will be found in the other colui. of our paper. But it would be a want ofjustice to our brave seamen and soldiers, and indeed to our readers themselves, tosnEer such a splendid achievement to remain hidden in the confusion and desultory narra- tioudgahadmere document, which are necessarily written in parts and by diﬂ'erent rsone, and therefore midterm nor bllow the naiiiral order of events. What follows is a careful summary, and a digested nar- rative, of this achivement of the British arms on the wee-

eur navy and marines; the

tern coast of Syria, the present seat of war.

It ﬁrst ofall appears from these accounts that so little purpose or expectation was entertained of attacking so strong a , uni of succeeding in the assault, that on the 29th of October, all the ships in the fleet, excepting the I" no, had received orders to return to Beyrout, and were l on their course thither. On the following day, the ﬁlth of October, a eneral order was issued by com- mand of the Lords oft e Admiralty, thanking the odi— eere and seamen for their zeal and exertions—Imme- diately afterwards, whilm the ﬂeet was slowly sailing towards Beyrout, a council of war was suddenly called on board the admiral's shi , at which an immediate attack upon Acre wee decid upon. Instant orders were issued for the ﬂeet to return to that station, which was of coursaobeyed with the utmost ardour, and an alacrity truly British. At da light on Monday the2d of No- vember, the whole set, English and Turkish, com- mended by Admirals Stopford and Walker, the latter the‘l‘urhtsh admiral, arrived before the town of St. Jean d' Am shortly bebre sunset anchored opposite to

The night of the 2d November was spent in sounding and making preparation, and it was not until about noon on followin morning, Tuesday, Nov. 3, that the admiraband ir Charles Smith went on board the deem-fngete Phoenix, and immediately gave orders to commence the attack. At two o’clock, the Phceaix, under the immediate command of the admiral, opened

LONDON, Nov. 4.

Masaios Houss.—Yestcrday, Captain Stewart, who, a short time ago, made a statement to the Lord Mayor of important services which he had rendered, many years ago, to the underwriters at Lloyd’s, waited upon his Lordship, who had advised him to represent his claims to that body in a formal manner, to mention the result ofthe application.

The Captain said, that be had made no direct claim, but he had applied to have the services which he had rendered at the period he had speciﬁed in his statement into consideration through Lloyd's by the body of underwriters. he lamented to say, had been rejected, and the Secre- tary at Lloyd’s intimated that there existed no sort of claim, as salvage was not at the period of the alleged services demanded by the applicant. be appealed to the various circumstances corroborative ofthe validity of his claim for that ﬁxed determination not to entertain
