SARDINIA.

TURIN, Sept. 27.—The Piedmontese Gazette, of
this day, publishes a despatch from General la Mar-
mor-a, dated Kadikoi, Sept. 11, giving a detailed
account of the final attack on Sebastopol on the
Bth. The general tenour of this is of course the
same as has already been gathered from the despatches
of the French and English chiefs. The following
extracts contain the 'only remarks bearing on the
part taken by the Sardinian army in this glorious
affair :

" To the west of the Military Port the attack confided
to the Ist corps, De Salles, was to be directed first on
the Central Bastion, and aftewards on the Flagstaff Bat-
tery. These two attacks were therefore to depend, the
one on the success of the other ; nor were they to com-
mence until after the issue of the principal attack on the
Malak boff.

" The division Lavaillant formed the leading column
of attack against the Central Bastion. The brigade
Cialdini of the Royal troops, with 100 men of the Sap-
pers, wag placed under the orders of General de
Salles, and destined to form a head of column against
the Flagstaff Battery, which was to have been the last
attacked. The division d'Autemarre formed the reserve
of these two attacks. • The works of approach, driven
with so much tenacity along the line during so long
a siege, and notwithstanding the great difficulties that
were encountered, whether from the nature of the
ground or the superabundant Russian artillery, were
joined to the left attack within 50 or 60 metres of the
works of the place ; and towards the right, at the dis-
tance of 100 or 150 from the grand Redan, they ap-
proached to 30 or less of the fosse of the trenches of the
Malakhoff."

After describing the capture of the Malakhoff
and the failure of the Redan, he says :
" Inasmuch as the Malakhoff was conquered, accord-
ing to the arrangements of the French General-in-Chief,
orders were transmitted to the first corps, De Sa,lles,
to commence the attack on the left. The troops of this
corps destined for the assault wore immediately, joined
in position, and disposed in the extreme trenches ; the
divi iou Lavaillant opposite the Central Bastion, the
Brigade Cialdini opposite the Flagstaff Battery, the
division of D'Autemarre in support.

" But the north wind which blew that morning, rais-
ing dust and smoke, prevented them for a long time
from perceiving the signal rockets ; and it was not until
2 o'clock the conquest of the Malakhoff was confirmed,
and they recognised that the signal for the attack on
the Central Bastion was given."

That attack having been only partially success-
ful, and the French artillery having re-opened a
fire which lasted until half-past four, General la
Marmora says :

" The lateness of the hour nresented the assault

being renewed with fresh troops, and then was also
countermanded the order to attack the Flagstaff Bat-
tery, to which the Briga le Ciaidini of our troops was
to have proceeded—an attack which bad become im-
possible.
" I seize, however, the opportunity of testifyinc, to
your Excellence the confidence with which the Royal
troops awaited the order of attack."
