Alter 2 to 1 bad been taken about Oulston, and 3 to

about the forthor at 3 to 1, and the principal layer, who'
was desirous of going on to a considerable extent, offered
to back Baroncino against Oulston for 500 even. This
had the effect of giving Baroncino a decided lead.

FAILURE OF THE ATTACK UPON THE BASTION KORNILOFF.

The attack on the bastion Korciloff, the principal point
in our line of defence, was made in considerable force.
At a given signal, made from the redoubt Kamtchatka
and from the ravine, the French columns, 12,000 strong,

preceded by a dense body of riflemen, threw themselves
impetuously on all. the lines of the fourth section. Tho
greater portion however was directed against the bastion
Korniioff. Here, however, in consequence of pre'ara•

tions made by General Jonferoff, everything; was in
readiness to receive the enemy. A sharp fire of artil-
lery and musketry put a stop to the advance of the hos-
tile columns, when they were within the distance of a

hundred steps from the moat.
The enemy, thus put to flight, sought refuge in the
ravine and in the trenches. Twice, however, they drew

up again in order, and endeavoured to approach the
moat of the bastion. In these attempts they were held
in check by our murderous fire, were finally repulsed,
and fled in the greatest disorder to the trenches. Our
artillery and the fire of our battalion made fearful havoc
in the French lines. The ground around the Malakhoff,
Mamelon, and the whole space up to the enemy's
trenches, was covered with the killed.

ATTACK UPON THE BATTERY GERVAIS.
The enemy, after their first attack upon the bastion
Korniloff, leaving the ravine, flung themselves despe-
rately on the battery Gervais, and in spite of the vio-
lence of our fire took possession of it. The first bat-
talion of the Poltawa regiment, which was in charge of
the battery, after an obstinate hand-to-hand fight on the
parapet, was obliged to yield to the overwhelming num-
berg of the enemy.
The French, pursuing the battalion, took possession
of the little houses and the ruins on the north of the

Malakhoff Mamelon, and advanced as far as the docks.
Here, however, the enemy, carried away by a momen-
tary success, received a check. Lieut.-General Khrou-
loff, the commander of the line which was made the ob-
ject of attack—a vigilant and. experienced officer, who
watched carefully the progress of the fight—hastened to
the spot where the danger was most imminent. Placing
himself at the had of the sth company, which was armed
with the muskets of the Seosk regiment, which was re-

turning from the works, and, rallying the battalion of
the Poltawa regiment, which was retreating, he led them
against the enemy, whom he attacked with the bayonet.
At the same time Lieut.-General Krouleff brought up,
under the orders of Lient.-General Pavloff, six compa-

nies of the reserved regiment Jakoutsk, two of which,
under the orders of Major Novachine, attacked the
enemy in front, whilst a battalion under the command
of Colonel Alennikoff reinforced the brave company of
the Seosk regiment. A bloody combat took place by

the houges and ruins. The French in ambuscade there

defended themselves with obstinacy ; it was necessary

to take each house by assault. Our soldiers clambered
up each house, tore off the roof, and crushed with
stones those who were lying in ambuscade there, or,
after breaking in the doors, killed or took prisoners the
enemy who were inside.
The battery Gervais, one of the guns of which had
been turned against us, was retaken by a bold attack of
a company of the Seosk regiment, supported by a bat-
talion of the Poltawa regiment, and by six companies
of the Jakoutsk regiment. The French, in spite of con-
siderable forces which they had concentrated on this
point during the affair, were repulsed by our troops,
and pursued to the trenches,
After having formed ag.i.in three times, the enemy en-
deavoured to get possession of the battery Gervais, but
were not successful. Each one of these attacks against
this battery was successively repulsed by the troops sta-
tioned there for its defence, assisted by the third batta-
lion of the Eletsk regiment.

Out of the whole fifth company armed with the mus-
kets of the Seosk regiment, which covered itself with
glory in this brilliant affair, there remained after the
assault but 33 men. The brave Captain Ostwosky, chief
of this company, fell at the commencement of the action,
and was replaced by Lieut. Keller.

FAILURE OF THE ENGLISH ATTACK AGAINST BASTION NO. 3.
At 3 o'clock in the morning the enemy advanced from
his nearest trenches in three columns against the salient
angle of bastion No. 3, the first ranks carrying ladders,
gabions, and ftsscines. The chief of the 3d section, the
brave Vice-Admiral Panfiloff, received the assailants by
a discharge of grape from the guns of the bastion, and by
a fire of musketry from the chasseurs of Briansk. The
English threw away their ladders and other materials

for the assault, and retreated to their trenches in disorder.

Aftsr reforming, the enemy advanced afresh ; but be-
ing again repulsed, they retired, and directed themselves
to the right towards the Boudistcheff battery, and began
to destroy the palisades on the side of the bastion of the

Yanovsky battery. Our troops leapt on the parapet,
and after pouring upon the enemy a shower of projec-
tiles, forced them to retire into the ravine, followed by
a murderous fusillade of grape from the two last batteries.
At this moment two fresh English columns made a third
attempt to possess themselves of No. 3 bastion. They
had already succeeded in removing a part of the palisades
before the salient angle, but here also they were stopped
by our grape and the fire of our battalions. The assail-
ants also made an attempt on the right side of the bas-
tion, but being finally repulsed they retreated into the
Laboratoire Ravine. In the advance against the No. 3
' Bastion, and in the retreat to the ravine, the enemy were
crushed by the grape and balls and shells of the Niconoff
Battery. The first battalion of the regiment of Briansk
Chasseurs (now commanded by Aide-de-Camp General
Prince Gortchakoff), one battalion of the reserve of the
Volhymnia and Minsk Regiments, and two companies
of the Okhotsk Regiment, stationed on the banquettes
on the right of the third bastion, directed a well-sustained
fire of musketry on the columns which attacked the
right face of the bastion.
REPULSE OF THE ATTACK ON THE BATTERIES OF
PERESSYPE.

Simultaneously with the assault on the Bastion No.
3, the English attacked our batteries of Peressype. At
daybreak, just as the secret posts appointed for night
service were relieved by the Rifles, our advanced posts
were attacked by a body of English troops. 37 riflemen
and 12 sailors, who were at their posts, had time to fall
hack in good order, according to their instructions. The
English then dispersed among the houses and gardens at
the bottom of the ravine. We then opened a well-sus-
tained fire of artillery from the batteries Brylkine, Stahl,
and Perekomsky. The English columns endeavoured to
seize two of these batteries' but were held in check by
their fire, and retreated in disorder into the Laboratory
Ravine, leaving a heap of dead on the spot.
Our infantry, which occupied the batteries of Peres-
sype, under the orders of Col. Malevski, greatly assisted
by its well-directed fire in the repulse of the enemy.
During the attack of the English against the Brylkine
Battery. several of their sharpshooters rushed on our
Gribka Battery, where several of them were taken pri-
soners. At six o'clock in the morning the assault was
repulsed along tho whole line. From all the French
and English batteries a storm of projectiles was poured
on the fortifications of the city ; along the whole line a
most active fire of musket' y was kept up. Afterdinner the
cannonade began to grow feeble, and in the evening it was
completely extinguished. Our loss during the bombard-
ment and assault from the 17th to the 18th of June,
amounted to 2 superior officers, 14 subalterns, and 781
rank and file killed ; 4 superior officers, 43 subalterns,
and 3,132 rank and file, wounded ; l' general, 5 superior
officers, 29 subalterns, and 815 rank and file, contused.
Besides these there are 2 generals, 12 superior officers,
57 subalterns, and 879 rank and file, who were slightly
woun led, without, however, being obliged to quit the
ranks. [acre follows a list of the names of the more
remarkable among the slain and wounded.] The loss of
the allies must have been considerable. The day after
the assault the Generals-in-Chief, Lord Raglan and
General Pelissier, requested a suspension of hostilities
to bury their dead—along the whole extent of the line
of assault were ranged on either side unarmed troops
between the line of defence and the most advanced
trenches of the enemy. Our soldiers removed the slain
from the space where the attack had taken place and
placed theni between the French and English lines,
whence the enemy carried them further. They were
occupied in clearing the space until the evening. The
number of killed collected only close up to our line of
defence amounted to 2,000. The loss of the enemy dur-
ing the whole of the assault may be estimated at 10,000
or 13,000 hors de combat. Our prisoners—besides those
who have since died of their wounds—amount to 1 supe-
rior officer, 18 subalterns and 270 rank and file, French;
1 superior officer and 5 rank and file, English. The
heroism and self-sacrifice which the whole garrison
showed in fulfilling their duty, from the general to the
simple private soldier, surpasses all praise. The infan-
try, the sailors, and the artillery rivalled each other in
bravery, and were all animated with the same object—
that of driving back the enemy from Sebastopol ; and
they all acquitted themselves with equal coolness, equal
courage, and equal contempt of death. The field artil-
lery, which was on our line of defence, contributed
much to our success. [Here follow the names of those
officers and soldiers considered worthy of mention
having distinguished themselves in the defence.] The
