English will form the main force to be opposed to an attack
I proceeding from the town.

12 o'cLoor.
The object of the French in opening fire on the left is still a
mystery in our' camp, even in very high quarters. With
respect to the turn-out this morning, it appears that the
French gave us warning. The Russians were seen assembling
towards the right, apparently with a view to attacking the
same positions from which they were repulsed on the 16th,
They threw up some rockets as signals, and retired. It is to
be presumed that they expected to catch us napping, and, on
finding themselves mistaken, thought proper to abandon their
design.

"Mr LORD,—In my despatch of the 18th inst., I w-as un-
able to give as detailed an account of the part taken by the
Sardinian troops, in the battle of the Tchernaya, as I could
have wished, not having received General La Marmora's re-
port, of which I have now the honour to send you a copy.
" The killed and wounded of the Russian army exceeds if
anything the number I originally stated.

"An armistice was granted to enable the enemy to bury
their dead, and vast quantities were carried away.

" The fire from the batteries of the allies has been very
effective, and the result attained has been sufficient to enable
the works against the place to progress satisfactorily.
" I beg to enclose a list of casualties to the 19th inst.

" Major MacGowan, 93rd Highlanders, who was reported
by me as missing in my despatch of August 11th, I have since
acertained was attacked whilst posting his sentries in advance
of the trenches, wounded severely, and made prisoner.
