BEAUREGARD. ‘ix, Chief of Stair. Joux M. Orny, A. A. Go) > What a French Oficer Thinks of the Attack on Charleston. A French officer who was present at the aitéck or Charleston by our fleet makes the following valuable re marks, which we reproduce here :— ‘ 4 Judging from the configuration of Charleston bay, from the position of the forte defending ite entraace, be Delleves that the turreted ,Monitcec, the mets w ‘woth’ he fully acknowledges in a sea fight, were mot @uited for "| the attack of the place. He believes that the turrets offered too large a surface to the shots of the enemy, and that the strength of the blow was, in many instances, sbMicient both to put the revolving apparatus out of order apd to render the boat unmanagesbie. He thinks that the only way by whieh the robel for- treenes might have been successfully attacked was by 1 | means of razeed batteries, perfectly tight and covered with iron all over, with no tangible object abeve deck, and two rows of guns, one ou each side, placed one foot Or two above the surface of the water. He believes that the number of guns mounted upon our Monitors was quite insufficient to silence the rebel batteries, and that it ought to have been four times as large to have been felt, in & sensibie degree, by our opponents. He believes also that if, instead of venturing our Moni- ‘tors 00 that expedition, we bad had six floating iron bat- tories constructed upon the model above described, and provided with Gfty guns each, we might have opened a breach in one of the fortresses, dixmounted most of the batteries on shore, and perhaps beco able to effect a landing on some of the points oceupied by the rebels. To that effect several iron-clad transports, carrying several companies of sharpsbooters, whose duties would have been to pick off the enemy's gunners, ought to have been aitached to the expeaition. AS an instance of the efficiency of this system of re ducing strongholds, he quotes the attack on Kinburn, in, the Crimea, by the Allies, In that attack, the first in which iron-plated vessels moved by steam were used, the French bad only three iron floating batteries, mount. @d with ove hundred aud fifty guns, and the English half | a dozen bombards and gunboats, supported, however, by & powertul feet which was simest useless. The floating batteries and the gunboats did all the work. 1u less than six hours the fortress of Kinburn and several earth- works, detended by one hundred and seventy-four guns and two thonsend men, were compelled to surrender. Tn that attack the Russians bad nearly three hundred men killed, while the Allies had only sixty men Aors de combat. Our informant does not believe that the rebela were Provided with the best tmplements of modern warfare. He thinks that if they bad been they would have sunk ail the Monitors which were five hundred yards distant {rom their guns. The Freneb pavy, he says, has now found an explosive projectile which, at that distance, goes through any iron plate, however thick, and produces an explosion sufficient to blow up & vessel of the sizeof the Monitors, It is obvious that the rebels had no knowledge of \t; for most of their shote were solid, and had pot that strength of impulse peculiar te the newly invented expksive French shot.
