WAR DEPARTMENT, DEC. 20.

Lord Paurnure has received froria the Field-Marshal
Commanding-in-Chief, the reports of which the follow-
ing are copies, addressed by Lieutenant-General Sir
Harry D. Jones to General Sir James Simpson, K.C.B.

Head-Quarters, Sebastopol, Sept. 9.
Sir,—The long and eventful siege of Sebastopol hav-
ing been brought to a successful termination, I beg leave
to draw y•mr Excellency's attention to the services of
the officers of Ro)al Engineers who have been employed
in carrying on the siege works.
Many of these officers have been continuously on duty
since Bth October last, and have been in the trenches 76,
97, and 108 days and nights.
I beg leave to mention the name of Lieutenant-Colo•
nel Chapman, C. 8., who has been employed with the
army since the arrival of the first detachment at Galli-
poli ; and since March last, when Colonel Gordon was
wounded, and unable to perform the duties of the siege
as senior officer of Engineers, he has had to make all
the necessary arrangements for the daily carrying on of
the duties ; this has been performed by him in the most
zealous and'energetic manner, under great exposure to
fire, to my entire satisfaction. Major Bent has been doing
the duty of Director of the Left Attack since March
' last ; the duties of that officer was very onerous, and
these he has performed in a most zealous and praise-
worthy manner. During the above period Major Brent
must have been under fire twice, if not thrice, in every
twenty-four hours. Captain Brown, who was recently
severely wounded, performed for some time the office of
Director of the Right Attack, and so has also Captain
Cooke.

Captain Ewart, the Adjutant to the Sappers and
Miners, has carried on the duties of the parks, which are
extremely troublesome, and requiring greet attention, in
the most zealous and satisfactory manner.
I do not trouble your Excellency with the names of
the Subalterns of Engineers, as they are not eligible for
promotion under the existing regulations.
Nothing could exceed the zealous and praiseworthy
manner in which they have invariably performed their
duties.

Several have been more than once wounded, and many
have died from wounds, or from sickness caused by ex-
posure to the great heat in the trenches.
I wish to bring prominently under your notice Major
Bourchier, my Brigade-Major, who has rendered me very
great assistance throughout the whole siege, and Lieut.
Cowell, my Aide-de-Camp, who has, during the siege,
proved himself most useful by his professional knowledge
as an officer of Royal Engineers, and by his general mili-
tary acquirements. Of the Assistant Engineers, I can-
not speak too highly in praise of the zeal and intelligence
they have displayed, and I beg leave to enclose the
names of those who, from their long service at this siege,
I consider deserving of promotion.—l have, &c.,

Royal Engineers.

Uxtract from Lieutenant-General Sir Harry Jones,
K.C.8., report to General Simpson.
Head-quarters, Sebastopol, Sept. 20, 1855.
Sir,—This long siege of 337 days having been brought
to a successful termination, I am extremely desi-
rous to bring under your Excellency's notice the
services of a most gallant and zealous body of Offi-
cers. I allude to the Subalterns of the Royal Engi-
neers, who, from the constitution of their corps, in
which promotion goes by seniority, are never promoted
into other branches of the service, which was the reason
why I did not include in my recommendatory list the
names of those individuals who have particularly distin•
