“ Taking advantage of the superiority of their fire at short l‘ttIlgt.‘, the enemy afici- the concentrated action oftheir artillery for 30 days—wliich cost our garrison from 500 to 1,000 men per ilay——-eoinnieiicczl that terrible hoinbardincnt (lioailmriliucal tl’cnft:r) from their innumerable engines at war, and of a calibre hitherto unknown, which des- troyed our defences, which had been re- paired at night with great labour and at great loss, under the incessant tire of the enemy—the principal work, the Kornilolf Redoubt, on the MalakliolI' Hill (the key of Sebastopol) as it point doininating the whole :own, having experienced coiisidcrable and irreparable dainage. _

“ To continue under these circumstances the defence of the south side would have been to expose our troop:-i daily to iisi-lc..s butcliery, and their preservation is to-ilziy, more than ever, necessary to the Emperor of Russia.

“ For these reasons, with sorrow in my

Jicai-t, but ivitli a full coiivietion, I resolvt,-(I; to evacuate Sehasti-pol, and to take over; the troops to the north side by the bridge, constructed bef..ii-elianil over the hay and by boats. J

“Meantime, the enemy l.)8ll0ltllll|,!, on the- 27ih oi'Aiigiist (8th of Scpteriibcr), at l'.3.' 30, the i,,,|f.riiiiied works bclore them and the Kornilolf licdoubt, with its ditches filled up, resolved upon a desperate assault,, first on Bastion No. ‘.3, Koriiilolf. ands’), and the Bolkin and Scliwartz retloubis.

“ Ofthese six attacks, live were glorious- ly repulsed. Some oftlie points of ‘attack,’ like that of Bastion N_o. ‘.’.,_ on_ which the enemy hail succeeded in bringing guns by flying bridges, having at V.al'It)Il.\.I times been taken and retakeii, reiiiained tinally ours. But, the Korniloff ltedoiibt, more ilainagi-il tliiin the others by the hoiiiluirdiiii-ni, was taken bv the I-‘rencli, who brought more than -3il,i0llIl men tigaiiii-it it, and ftiillltl not he rt-taken after the great I-i-.-es we had sun-,,,.,,,i at t to cuiiiiiiciict-inent ot this coin- hnt, for it would have been 'iece~is:ii'y to ascend in the midst ofilie ruins it very steep ieii ci-t.-ss it narrow riilge above it deep ditch of the rear liice occu- cupied by the French. hitch an undertak- ing might have prevented us aeliieving the proposed object, and would have cost us, without the slightest doubt, ineatculablo losses.

" The attempt was the more needless, as for reasons already mentioned, I lllltl re- solved to evacuate the place.
