The riflenieu advanced iidinirably. but fri-iii their position they could not do much to reduce the fire of'tlie guns on the flanks and below the re,-entering angles. The brave- ry and coolness of Capt. Fyers, ii ere never more brilliantly displayed, or urgently called for. As they came nearer, the ene- my's fire became less fatal. They crossed the nbaltis without difficulty; it was torn to pieces and destroyed by our shot, and the men stepped over and through it with ease. The light division made straight for the salient and projecting angle of the Rcdau, and came to the ditch, which is here about I5 feet deep. The party detailed for the purpose placed the ladders, but they were found lo be too short ! ! ! However, hadl there been enough oftlieni, that would notl have mattered much but sonic had been left behind in the hands o_fdead or wound- ed men, and others had been broken, so; that ifone can credit the stntcinents made! by those who were present, there were notf more than six or seven ladders at the sali-t em. The men led by their oflicers leaped 4 into the ditch and scrambled up the athei- side, whence they got up the parapet al-.l- inost without opposition, for the few Russians who were in front ran back and got behind [ their traverses and‘ breustworks as soon as ‘, they saw our men on the top, and opeiied o fire upon l.lleIll.i ’ PANIC AND INPATUATION Oi‘ THE ll|ll"l'l3ll. Iamcntablc as it no doubt is, and inercdi-j blc almost to those who know how the British ; soldier cncrally behaves before the enemy, the f men, w icn they got on the parapet, were seized , by some strange infatuation, and began firing, instead of following their oflicers, who now be- , gap to fall fast, as they rushed on in front and , trlpd to stimulate their soldiers by their exam— 1 pic.

The atomic columns of the Second Division issuing out ofthc fifth pcr_sl.lc.l rushed up immediately sitar the Light Division, but or B’ O of the 90th and the when they came up close to the apex, Brigndigr W_iIidliain very judiciously brought them llya lllgflf detour on the right flank of tlic.Liglit ivision. sons to come ii. little down on the slope of the proper left face of the llediin. The first emhrasuro to.‘ which tlioyicamc was in “"1108. bur,‘ iuoving on to the next, the men leaped into the ditc:-., and, with the aid of lod- dcrs iind of e.-icli .~ther's liands, scrambled up on the other side, climbed the parapet, or pour- ed in through the oiiibi-asuro which was unde- fcnded. Col. \Viud~hain'was the first or one of the very firstincn in on this side, and with him entered Danfel Miilionoy, it gr.-iiadier of t.l_io_ -llst, Kill.‘aiiy and Uorncllis of the same ro- giinunt. . As .\la.honcy entered with at cheer, he was shot through the head by it lliissisii rifle- uiun and fell dit-iidiicross Col. Windham, and at the some moment Killoany iiud Corncllis were both wounded. The latter claims the reward of £5 offered by Col. llerbcrt to the first man of his division who entered the lledan. Running parallel to the faces of the lludan. there is an inner parapet iiiteiidud to shield the gunners at the einhi-.n~'iiros from the cfiects of any shell which might fall into the bed of the ' work, and-' strike i.;cm down, ifthis high hank were not there to protect thi-in front the splin- ters."

As our men on- tered through the einbrasiircs, the feiv Russians who were between the salient and this breast- work retreated behind the latter, and got from the traverses to its protection. From it they ouigcd ii. quick fire on tho arapcl of the sali- out, which was crowded )y the men of the Light Division, and on the gaps through the inner parapet of the lledan, and our men. with an infatuation which all otiicers deplore, but cannot always remedy on such occasions, began to return the fire of the eiieinywil/tout advancing or crosriiig lieliiml I/ie lrarcrscs, loaded and fired as quickly as they could, but did but little ox- ecutien, as the Russians were well covered by the brezistwork. 'l'hcrc were also groups of Russian riflcnien behind the lower traverses near the base of the lli-dan, who kept up ii. gal- iiig fire on our incn. As the alarni of an assaiilt was spread, the enemy came rushing up from the liiirrocks in rear of the llcdnn, and increas- ed the force and intensity of their fire, while our soldiers dropped fast and ciivournged inc Russians by their immobility and the weakness of their fusilude, from which the enemy were we I protected.

Tliis was all going on at the proper left face of the .dan, wliilc nearly the same scene was being repeated at the salient. Every moment our men were diminishing in numbers, while the Rus- sians came u in" swarms from the town, and rushed down from tho Miilakofl, which had now been occupied by the French. Thrice did Calo- nel Windham sen s to Sir E.

A beginning—:ind 8 good one—hns been made; it is almost incredible what u change has taken place within these few years, and the progress that has been made and the spirit exhibited, is a good warrant, that the march ofiinprovcnient will boonwsrd. There was not the same display at the flower stands as we could have wished to have wit- nesscd.
