About 11 o'clock at night the enemy attempted a general sortie on this side, in which ‘be eppears to bave employed no less than fifteen battal- ions, stated by the Ruasian prisoners to be each one thousand strong. These troops, divided into two columns, advanced in a body, and with savage howlings attacked the head of the roadway we have formed in fromt of our parailel for reaching the ambuscades pre- viourly occupied by the enemy, ambuscades which it is our intention to connect strongly one with another, so as to make of them a place d’armés. Repulsed three times and three times led back by their officers, the were compelled to sbandon their plan of oecupy- ing this point, which was defended by some companies of the third regiment of Zousves, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Banon. The combat there was ob- stinate, and has cost usdear, but has inflicted on the enemy losses far greater than ours, and proportioned to She eae CRREL RD. Oa! atieeel ae me trench, Japin, of the Ist regiment of Zouaves, directed the ef. forte made at thts spot, and fourht personally with rai energy. He was covered with blood from two wounds which he received in the head, but which fortuaately are not serious. The efforts of the enemy, who could only pull down empty gadions at this spot, being without ef- were next directed the Jeft of our parallel, towards the ravine of Kerabelnia, where he was warmly reosived by a fire of musketry, and was unable to pene- trate. He then suddenly threw himself upon the right of the Englvh parallel, contrived to cross the works, 3 found himself in the rear of our feft, which for an instant was exposed to a murderous fire in reverge. General Autemarre, who commanded in the trench, made the necorsary dispositions with his accustomed Viger and composure, The 4th batts'ioa of infantry ebanrours, coming up to assist, was sont lato the ravine, where it threw itself valiantly upon the enemy, who, being himeelf exposed, suffered considerable loss, and ‘was repulsed to return n9 more, Further to the left, the English, who had not been ale to collect more forses, then left them much.nferior in pumber to the assailants, attacked the enemy with their wonted courage, and. after a warm struggle, com- pelled him to retreat, Still further to the left the Eng- lish had been attacked by a sortie, having the appesr- ance of a diversion, and which they very #oom reckoned wi This operat'on of the besieged has differed completely from ali those whieh he has hitherto attempted against our works. In order to insure its success, and notwith- standing the strength of the garrison, coasiderable as that is, be brought up from without two regiments (eight battalions) of fresh troops (thoxe of Daieper and Ouglitch). Iwas a species of general assault against our liner of commuvication, and the combination ap- peared uncommonly well devised for obtaining a great result. The importance of this failare on the part of the besieged ought to be estimated by the greatness of the object he had in view. The prison- ers we have made state that his loss has bsen enormous; and, taking into account the masaes’he em. posed, we think that this combat, irregular as all noo- urnal combats are, and the firing at which lasted seve- ral hours, must have cost him st from 1.000 to 1,200 men. The ground in front of our paratiels is strewed with the dead, and Gen. Osten-Sacken haj demanded of us an istice, which has been grante: and fixed for to-morrow, in order that the lust honors may be paid to the fallen. Onur own loss, of which Gen. Borquet has only been able as yet to send me an approximate estimate, is very sensible, and cannot be lesa than 300 or 320 killed and wounded, We have especially to regret the death of the Chef de Batail'on of Engizeers, Dumas, a superior officer of great merit and promise, who fell gloriously. He was killed by bayonet stabs, after being already wounded at the head of the work: You, Marshal, knew a esteemed him; your regret wili equal our owa.

LORD RAGLAN’S ACCOUNT. BEFORE 3ERASTOPOL, Marsh 24, 1955, My Lorp—On the morning of the 224 the French troops in the advanced parallel moved forward, and drove the enemy ont of the rifle-pits in their immediate front, but nothiog of any importance occurred during e day. Early in the night, however, a serious attack was made upon the works of our allies in front of the Victoria redoubt, opposite the Malakhof tower. ‘The night wes very dark, the firing which took place, and which was very heavy, could searcely be heard in the British camp; it ia. there- fore, diffenlt to speak with certainty of what occurred from anything that could be heard or observed at the moment. It appears, however, that the Russians, after attack- ing the head of the Ap which the French are carrying oa towards the Mamelon, fell with two heavy masses oa their new parallel, to the rear of which they succeeded in penetrating and momentarily poaress'ng themselves of after a gallant resistance on the part of our allies, Having broken through, they passed along the paral- Jel and in rear of it, until they came in contact with the troops stationed in our advanced parallel extending into the ravine, from the right of our advance, where it con- nects with the French trench. The enemy was here met by detachments of the 77th and 07th regiments, forming part of the guard of the trenches. who, although thus taken suddenly both in flank and rear, behaved with the utmost gallantry and comers. The detachment of the 97th, which was on the ex- treme right, and which, consequently, firet came in con- tact with the enemy, repulsed the attssk at the point of the bayonet. They were led by Captain Vicars, who, unfortanately, Jost his life on the occasion; and I am assured that no thing could be more dist nguished than the gallantry and good example which he cet to the detachment un- der his command. ‘The conduct of the detachment of the 77th was eqnal- ly distinguished; and the firmness and promptitude with which the attack, in this part of our works, was mit, were in the highest degree creditable to that regi ment. ‘These troops were under the direction of Major Gor- don, of the Royal Fngincers, who was woanted on the occasion o reverely, as for some time, I fexr, to deprive the army of the benefit of his valuable services. The attention of the troops in our advanced works having been by these transactions érawa to the right, the enemy took ocsasion to move upon, and succeetod in penetrating into, tive left front of our right attack, near the battery where two ten inch mortara have re- cently been placed, They advanced along the works nn- til they were met by a detachment of the 7th and 34th regiments, which had been at work ia the neighborhood, under the direction of Lienteoant Colonel Tyliren, of the Rosal Evgneers, who promptly made them stani to their arms, and lea them with the greatest determine. tion and ‘steadiners agninst the enemy, who were speedily ejected from the worse fairly pitchad over the parapet, with bnt little or no dringon our part Lieutenant Colonel Tylden speaks in the highest ‘orms of the conduct of the troops on this occasion, ant parti. cularly of that of Lieutenant Marah, Acting Adjutvat of the Sid regiment, whose services and activity through- ont the night were very useful to him, Captain the Hon Cavendish Prowne, of the 7th, and Lieutenant Jordan, of the 84th regicaent, were un’ortn- nately killed in this attack, after displaying the most Aistinguisbed gallantry, and Li leory, of the former regiment, was wounded, bat I hope not very s0- yerely. Lieutenant Colonel Kelly, of the 34th regiment, who commanded in the treaches, is, I regret to have to add, misting, The French, in retiring from their advanced parallel upon their supporte, epredily ralliad, and fell upon the enemy, whom they repulsed with grost loss, and fol. lowed fo far up towar!s the Mamelon that they were 4 to level and destroy nearly all the ‘“ambus- cades”? or ‘rifle concealments”’ erected along their front. I fear, however, that this suecess bas not been accom: plihed withont considerable loss on their part, altaough that of the enemy t# mash greater. Yerterday the whole of the ground hetween the posts of the two armies wan covered with their dead, amount ing fo reveral hundreds, besides those which they hal vndoubtedly carried off before daylight In the mesnwhile the enemy fn great numbers fount their way into the advanced batteries on onr extreme left, which are not yet armed, and momentarily got posession of them. ‘the working parties were, however, speedily collectei and re-formed by Captain Chapmaa, of tae 20th regi pvnt, acting engineer, and they at once drove the enemy ont of the trenches with the utmost gallantry Captain Montagu, of the Royal Engineers, who was superintending the works, unfortanately fell into the bande of the enemy.

(From the Leadon Timer, Deel 8.) This afternoon the shores of the Solent will wit ness one of those spectacles in which England is once more at home, A portion of the fleet, consisting of more than thirty vessels of war, and including a dozen sail of the line, will start to SoroRy. the Baltic, to block- je every inlet avd port of the Czar, and, if possible, find seme vulnerable point of his triple granite and iron. At any time the might of so many huge machines, sent out with the message to kill and destroy, may weil sub- due the most frivolous. Even a naval review, with its mimic thunders and its programme of trinmphs, be- comes a scene of horror exactly in proportion as we realize its true inport. What we may ree to-day, how- ever, in ambitiously and industriously grander, sterner, grimmer, more real, and more desdly, ma any like spectacle on these or any The Baltic fleet of this year is in all respects much stropger than the last; it has more steam power, mere guns, a new clues of gunbdoats.and floating bat- terien, acapted for cresks aud shoals, and, what more than Toe dee, marks 8 resolution to do something—a new commander Sir Charles Napier has ceased to com wand the Balt'e fleet, not from any deficiency in skill, in courage, or temper, but simply because he did less than the Pritish people expected to see dons. We have ourselves heen ever ly to do justice to bis actual achievements, which are not to be denied or depreciated; but, when we send out the ficest fleet in the world, we naturally expect it to do more than shut in a third-rate paval Power, and asnist an army to destroy an unfoish- ed fort, The new commanier, Admiral Dundas, has be- fore bim the services of Adwiral Napier, and, whatever bis instructions, if any, 0 doubt he knows that be has to do more thau Acmiral Napier. If he dose not acoom- lish more, be vill certainly find himaelf next Novem- Ber under orders to lewer his fing, with small prospect of ever hoisting it age! Such js the mission of the fleet the Queen sends this day on its fatal errand, It is to attempt more, to run more risk, to follow fur- ther and closer, to care rather Jess for losing ships and men, and rather more for inflicting losses and disgraces on the enemy, Ina word, the force is stronger and the duty more terrible than lest year; and if the scene to- day sbovld attract a smaller crowd of gazers than last year, they will doubtless see it leva a8 a holiday specta- le, and more as an operation of war, * * For anything we know, the departure ef the Baltic fleet may be an annual ceremony for many @ year to come.
