LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 11. 1855.

The Allied Powers seem to have at length
shaken off the apathy by which they were so long
oppressed, and to ha7e now resolved to carry on
the War with vig )ur and energy. The result has
been the most brilliant, and in one quarter almost

bloodless, triumphs. In our impression of Sa•

turday we announced the attack and capture of
the White Works and the Mamelou Tower. We
are now enabled to state in addition that they
took on the occasion no less than 62 guns, in-

o luding 8 cohorns, and 400 prisoners. The
•ontest, although exceedingly fierce, was but of
1 nief duration. At 6.30 p.m. on Thursday the
signals for assault were given, and within a single
hour the national standard of France floated over
the Mamelon and the two redoubts in Careening
Bay. These important positions remained in
their hands, and, should they be enabled to retain
them and to turn the captured artillery against

their former possessors, it requires but slight pre-
tons ions to extraordinary prescience to declare
that the Malakhoff Tower must shortly share a
siinilar fate, and that the desperate resistance of
th a garrison of Sebastopol itself cannot be much
lo urger protracted. General PELISSIER has thus
m ere than vindicated the high military reputation
• had previously enjoyed, and proved that our
ga slant allies are so fortunate as at last to have
gc " the right man in the right place." Since
he i succeeded the brave but less energetic CAN-
-11( )SERT in the supreme command of the French
ar my not a moment has been lost in pushing on
th A operations of the siege, nor has there been
a single failure to damp the ardour of his
n( stile followers. Everything attempted has been
ac complished in the most complete and satisfactory
m anner. It only enhances the glories of the army
of France to state that the Russians have displayed
gi vat gallantry, and *tiered the most obstinate
rc tsistance at every point, but all in vain. Despite
t! ieir proved valour they were unable to withstand
tl ate terrific onslaughts of the assailants, and hence
tl re decisive victories which it is our pleasing duty
to ► record—victories which must at no distant
p( u•iod terminate in the capture or destruction of
tl an south side of Sebastopol, and the scanty rera-
n: snt of the Russian fleet which inow finds shelter
b xneath its walls.
From the French despatches we learn, although
• ar own do not allude to the subject, that the
• Inglish troops were not idle on this important
o =talon. General PELISSIER declares that
• our Allies"—i.e. the English—" with their
u s'ral resolution, earried the works in the quarries,
a' ad established themselves there." Our accounts
at a.te that " We have lost 400 men in killed and
• rounded," and that is probably only the English
563 on, the eventful occasion. It was but the
meceding day that the bombardment of the town
a aid outworks was reopened, and no time was
a flowed to repair the damages, which the Rus-
s is ,ns had on previous occasions succeeded in
'acting during the ni •
ghts. This the vigorous
ac ivity of PELIBSIEB. prevented. Not a moment
wi s allowed for restoration ; no breathing-time
T granted. The
defenders were as-
ss g ,unded at the apparently desperate character
of the attack, which, however, proved irrn-
aistible, and the Mamelon
remained "
the hands of our Allies. Nor were they contented
with this glorious achievement. General PELIS-
BIER is manifestly one of that energetic school
who consider that " nothing ,is done while any_
Lhiug remains to be accomplished"—who
will
of be contented with any triuniph, if all
bat is practicable has not been attained. He
' therefore followed up his first success, and also
"took possession of the two redoubts of Careening
Bay. The spolia opima in the shape of 62 pieces
of heavy ordnance, together with 400 prisoners,
remained in his hands.
