At half-past seven in tke afternoon, all our bat-
teries opened for the first time, and the town was
set on fire by the first general Hight of shells.
It was afterward; on fire in another quarter.
The navy also threw some shells, and the firing
enntinued on shore twelve hours, without producing
as overture on the part of the garrison.
Tbe enemy's fire was very slack during the
eight, and progress hu been made in the new works
