GENERAL SIMPSON'S DESPATCH OP THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. SEBASTOPOL, SEPTFMBEIL 9. My Lord,-1 had the honour to apprize your Lordship in my despatch of the sth instant, that the Engineer and Artillery Officers of the Allied Armies had laid before General Pelissier and myself a report recommending that the assault should take place on the Bth instant, after a heavy fire had been . kept up for three days. This arrangement I agreed to, and I have to congratulate your lordship on the glorious results of the attack of yesterday, which has ended in the possession of the town, dockyards, and public buildings, and destruction of the last ships of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea. Three steamers alone remain, and the speedy capture or sinking of these must, speedily follow. It was arranged that at twelve o'clock in the day the French columns of assault were to leave their trenches, and take possession of the Mal akhoff and adjacent works. After their success had been assured, and they were fairly estab lished, the Redau was to be assaulted by the English ; the Bastion, Central, and Quarantine Forts, on the left, were simultaneously to be attacked by the French. At the hour appointed our Allies quitted their trenches, entered and carried the apparently impregnable defences of the Malakhoff with that impetuous valour which characterises the French attack ; and, having once obtained possession, they were never dis lodged. The tricolour planted on the parapet was the signal for our troops to advance. The arrangements for the attack I entrusted to Lieut.-Gen. Sir William Codrington, who car ried out the details in concert with Lieut.-Gen. Markham. I determined that the Second and Light Divisions should have the honour of the assault, from the circumstances of their having l defended the batteries and approaches ofthe Redan for so many months, and from the in timate knowledge they possessed of the' ground. The fire of our artillery having made as much of a breach as possible in the salient of the Redan, I decided that the columns of assault should be directed against that part, as being less exposed to the . leavy flanking fire by which this work is protkted. _ It was arranged between Sir William Cod rington and Lieut.-General Ma!kham that the assaulting column of 1000 men should be formed by equal numbers of these two divisions, the columns of the Light Division to lead, that 2nd to follow. They left the trenches it the preconcerted signal, and moved across the ;round, preceded by a covering puny of 200 Luca Ind a ladder party of 320. On arriving at the crest of the ditch, and the ladders placed, the men immediately stormed the parapet of the Redan, and penetrated into the salient angle. A most determined and bloody contest was here maintained for nearly an hour, and, although supported to the utmost, and the greatest bra very displayed, it was found impossible to maintain the position. Your lordship will perceive, by the long and I lists of casualties, with what gallantry and f-devotion the officers so nobly placed them ves at the head of their men during this sanguinary conflict. I feel myself unable to express in adequate terms the sense I entertain of the conduct and ;allantry exhibited by the troops, though their ievotion was not rewarded by the success that they well merited ; but to no one are my thanks more justly due than to Cul. Windham, who gallantly headed his column of attack, and was fortunate in entering, and remainit troops during th Were, übseouently to this iut I was hich I ender unable to organise a second assault, intended to make with the Highlander npbell, who had hi- rye, to be supported b, third division under I with them to renew the bland I rations endured by many of the regiments during a long winter campaign aro too well known for me to comment upon.
