and to the left of the Mamelon ; Breton's brigade
in the parallel in the rear.
" Twobatteries of artillery, which could be served
et lct bricole, were placed behind the Brancion Re-
doubt (Mamelon), ready to occupy the enemy's
positions in case we succeeded in carrying them.
"The division of the Imperial Guard forming
the general reserve of the three attacks was drawn
up in a body in the rear of the Victoria Redoubt.
" I selected the Lancaster Battery for my post,
from which I was to give the signal by star rockets
for the general advance. Notwithstanding great
difficulties of ground, notwithstanding the ob-
stacles accumulated by the enemy, and although
the Russians, evidently informed of our plans, were
on their guard and ready to repel an attack, I
am inclined to think that if the attack could have
been general and instantaneous on the whole ex-
tent of the line—if there had been a simultaneous
action and ensemble in the efforts of our brave
troops—the object would have been achieved. Un-
happily, it was not so, and an inconceivable fatality
caused us to fail.

" I was still at more than 1,000 metres from the
place whence I was to give the signal when a vio-
lent fire of musketry, intermixed with grape, ap-
prised me that Ihe combat had commenced seriously
on the right. In fact, a little before 8 a.m. Ge-
neral Mayran fancied he recognised my signal in a
shell with a blazing fuse sent up from the Brancion
Redoubt. It was in vain that he was informed of
his mistake.

" This brave and unfortunate General gave the
order for the attack. The Saurin and De Failly
columns immediately rushed forward ; the first
rush was magnificent, but scarcely were these heads
of colums in march when a shower of balls and
grape was poured in upon them. This crushing fire
came not only from the works which we wished to
carry, but also from the enemy's steamers, which
came up at full steam, and manoeuvred with great
skill and effect. We, however, caused them some
damage. This prodigious fire stopped the efforts of
oar troops. it became impossible for our soldiers to
advance, but not a man retired one step ; it was at
this moment that General Mayran, already hit in
two places, was knocked down by a grapeshot, and
compelled to resign the command of his division.
" All this was the work of a moment, and Gene-
ral Mayran was already carried off the field of bat-
tle when I sent up the signal from the Lancaster
Battery. The other troops then advanced to sup-
port the premature movement of the Right Divi-
sion. That valiant division, for a moment discon-
certed by the loss of its General, promptly rallied
at the voice of General de Failly. The troops en-
gaged, supported by the second battalion of the
95th of the Line and by a battalion of the Volti-
geurs of the Guard, under the orders of the bravo
Colonel Boudville, hold a footing in a bend of the
ground where the General places them, and boldly
maintain their position there. Informed, however,
of this position, which might become critical, I
ordered General Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely to
send four battalions of the Voltigeurs of the Guard,
taken from the general reserve, to the support of
that division. Generals Mellinet and Uhrich
marched with that fine body of men, rallied the
stragglers in the ravine of Careening Bay, and gave
a solid support to General de Failly, by occupying
the bottom of the ravine.

" General Mellinet in person advanced to the
right of General de Failly at the head of a battalion
of Grenadiers, placed the evening before to defend
the ravine and was of great service to him by
covering his right.
"The attack on the centre had not a better fate.
General Brunet had not yet completed all his ar-
rangements when the signal-rockets were fired.
The whole of the right was already premately en-
gaged for more than 20 to 25 minutes. The troops,
nevertheless, resolutely advanced, but their valour
was of no avail against the well-sustained fire of
the Russians and against unforeseen obAacles. At
the very ontset General Brunet fell mortally
wounded by a ball in the chest. The flag of the
91st was cut in two by a ball, but it is needless to
add that its fragments were brought back by that
gallant regiment.
" General Lafont de Villiers took the command
of the division, and intrusted that of the troops
engaged to Col. Lorencez. The latter held firm
while the remainder of the division occupied the
trenches to provide against the eventualities of the
combat.

" To the left, General d'Autemarre could not go
into action before Brunet's division, nor could be
explain the hasty fusillade he heard in the direction
of Careening Bay ; but at the signal agreed upon
for the attack he threw forward with impetuo?ity
the sth Chasseurs-b-Pied and theist battalion of the
19th of the Line, which, following the ridge of the
Karabelnaia Ravine, arrived at the intrench meat
which connects it with the Malakhoff Tower, scaled
the intrenchment, and entered into the enceinte
itself. The sappers of the Engineers were already
placing the scaling ladders for the remainder of the
19th and 2Gth Regiments, who were hurrying up
by order of General d'Autemarre to follow his gal-
lant column. For an instant we believed in suc-
cess. Our eagles were planted on the Russian
works. Unhappily, that hope was promptly dis-
pelled. Our allies had met with such obstacles in
their attack on the Grand Redan, they had been
received with such a fearful shower of grape,
that, despite their well-known tenacity, they
had already been obliged to beat a retreat. Such
was the spirit of our troops that, despite this cir-
cumstance, they would have pushed on and charged
down upon the enemy, but the want of simultane-
ity in the attack of our divisions permitted the
Russians to fall upon us with their reserves and
with the artillery of the great Redan, and the
enemy did not lose a moment in advancing all the
other reserves of the Karabelnaia against our brave
Chasseurs . a- Pied.

" Before so imposing a force Commandant Gar-
nier, of the sth Battalion, already struck by five
balls, endeavoured, but in vain, to maintain the
conquered ground. Compelled to give way to num-
bers he re-crossed the intrenchments. General
Niol came up to support his brigade reinforced by
the 30th of the line ; a new offensive movement
was attempted to assure the success of the new
effort, and on a message from General D'Aute-
marre to the effect his reserve was reduced to
the 74th of the Line, I sent him the rep*.
ment of Zoimves of the Guard ; but on the ar-
rival of those hardy veterans of our African cam-
paigns, as the movement had no longer auy desir-
able ensemble for so vigorous a blow, with a single
division without support either on the right or on
the left, and cut up by the artillery of the Redan,
the attack upon which had been relinquished by
our allies, I at once saw that all chance of success
was over. Another effort would only have led to
useless bloodshed. It was half past 8 o'clock, and
I ordered a general retreat to the trenches. This
movement
was
.carried out proudly, with order and
coolness, and without the enemy following us on
any point. A portion of the Russian trenches re-
mained even occupied by some of our men, who
evacuated them gradually, without the enemy dar-
ing to turn theiradvantage to account against them.
" Our losses have been great. We took care at
the very commencement of the action to carry off
most of our wounded. But a certain number of
those glorious dead remained lying on the glacis or
in the ditches of the place. The last duties were
rendered to them the following day.
" Besides General Brunet and General Mayran
(who died during the night) we have to deplore the
loss of an officer beloved and appreciated by the
whole army, the young and brave Lieutenant-
Colonel of Artillery De Laboursiniere, killed while
scaling the reverse of a trench obstructed by troops
on his way from one of his batteries to the Brancion
Redoubt. It is a great loss. In him were the
germs of future promise. A number of brave
superior officers have been wounded while showing
the most noble example. The officers of the staff
and of the troops worthily performed their duties,
and the conduct of the men was admirable every-

" We had 37 officers killed, arid 17 taken pri-
soners ; 1,544 non-commissioned officers and pri-
vates killed or missing. On the evening of the
18th, 96 officers and 1,644 men went to the ambu-
lances.

"Many wounds at first thought very serious will
ultimately prove not to be so. The bearers of these
honourable scars will shortly rejoin their colours.

" These losses have not shaken either the ardour
or the confidence of these valiant divisions. They
only ask to make the enemy pay dearly for this
day's work. The hope and the will to conquer are
in every heart, and all count upon it that in the
next struggle fortune will not play false to valour.

'• Commander-in-Chief."
