The martial attitude of these magnificent squadrons
betrayed an impatience which the successful and
prompt issue of the day did not permit me to
satisfy.
The English and Sardinian batteries of position
and the Turkish battery sent by General Osman
Paella near Alton fired with much skill and success.
I have thanked Osman Pacha for the promptitude
with which he sent to me, under Sefer Pacha (Geo.
Kosoielski) six Turkish battalions, four of which
during the day occupied the neighbouring passages
of Tchorgetin.
Nothing remarkable occurred during the entire
day on the Sebastopol side. Generals de Sallee and
Bosqnet were ready to repulse energetically any at-
tempt on the part of the besieged.
I transmit to your excellency together with this
report the copy of a plan for the battle of the 16th,
found on the body of a Russian General, who is
thought to be General Read, who oommanded the
enemy's right, end was specially charged with the
attack of the Traktir-bridge.
Deign to accept, &c.,
The General in Chief,

On the 15th of August, at nightfall, General Read
will descend with all his troops from Mackenzie
heights in the track of Lieutenant General Liprandi,
and will form his two division. into a column upon
the height occupied by the new redoubt, near the
great road, having on his left the second division
commanded by General Liprandi.

He will leave all his baggage in the camp, and will
have at hand a sufficient number of waggons in which
the foot soldiers may deposit their knapsacks. In
these waggons he will have placed culinary utensils
and brandy. The men must on no account have with
them lees than four day.' provisions, a pound of meat,
cans of water, and camp kettles. Each regiment
will have a chest of ntoeeaary stores, and two ambu-
lance carriages. The remaining ambulance vehicles
will be under the orders of General Zouroff, to whom
is committed the service of removing the wounded.
The cavalry and artillery will take with them
whatever forage they need. The best place for de-
positing this will have to be afterwards determined.

The head-quarters for the 15th will be on 1
Mackenzie 's heights. General Read, having first con-
centrated his troops on these heights, will send an
officer to the general-in-chief to announce his arrival.
On the 16th, during the attack, the general-in-chief
will be en the slope of Mackenzie heights, near the
new redoubt.

At four o'clock on the morning of the 16th, while
the 17th division forms on the Telegraph height,
General Read will advance, form the 7th and 12th
divisions of infantry in order of battle out of range
of the enemy, and place the regiment of Lancers in
the rear as a reserve, with his Cossacks. He will
combine his movement with that of General
Liprandi, and advance towards the Tchernaya so as
to be able to cannonade the enemy on the heights of
Ftdiouchine, prepare to cross the river, and finally
take possession of the heights of Fediouchine upon
the receipt of orders to that effect. For this purpose
he should have near his 7th and 12th divisions of
infantry detachments of sappers and regimental de-
tachments, well exercised beforehand in the use and
management of flying bridges, to throw them
promptly over the equeduct, and afford a passage to
the infantry and artillery.
vi.

...
As soon as orders to advance on the heights of
Fedionchine shell be received the troops are to pass
the Tchernaya to the right and left of the bridge ;
the damage embed by the artillery will be made
good by the uppers; the bridges will be thrown
under the orders of superior officers commanding the
special detachments.
_.

....
Having taken possession of the bills to the left and
in the centre, General Read will form in order of
battle, baying hie front turned partly towards Mount
Saponne and partly towards the enemy, covering his
troops by artillery in both directions. The mamelons
to the right he will occupy with troops of the first
line, after driving off the enemy.

VIII.

One of the chief cares of General Read will be to
provide that the depth of water in the Tchernsya
shall be lowered by the sappers and the bridges
thrown over as quickly as possible, to enable the
cavalry and artillery to get &arose the river without
delay.
11.

After taking the height; of Fedionchine, General
Read will remain there awaiting the orders of the
general-in-chief, in the case of an attack on the
southern part of Mount Gaofort being judged abso-
lutely necessity.

x.
The combat having ended, General Read will take
measures for fortifying the heights of Fedionchine.
