The Moniteur adds :

" Oar Artillery fire has re-opened on Sebastopol.
" A mistake in a previous despatch has caused the
belief that the bombardment has recommenced, but it
is not so.

" This fire is that of our cannon, which, as is well
known, has powerfully contributed, since it has re-
commenced, to the facilitation of our siege works
and approaches directed against the line of works of
the Malakhoff."
