THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5, 1860.

day. The Chinese opened fire during the day, and were re-
plied to by Capt. Milward's Armstrong guns at 2,000 yards
range with good effect, and the firing gradually ceased.
During the night batteries were constructed for the heavy
guns and mortars, and for one field battery, also for two 8-
inch guns, which were brought up by great exertions from
Pehtang during the night; and the ►hole were placed in
position by daybreak of the 21st August.
It had been arranged with the Admirals that the gun-
boats should et oss the bar that morning, and should engage
the outer North Fort and the flank of the outer South Fort,
at the same time that the attack on the inner North Fort
was commenced by the land forces.
At five a.m., however, the Chinese opened fire upon the
troops from all their forts within range, and we were thus
forced to reply an hour earlier than had been intended.
The Artillery was disposed as follows :—A French 24-
pounder battery of six pieces, one English 8-inch gun, and
two Armstrongs, played on the inner South Fort to keep
down the fire they might otherwise have poured on our
right flank. Twe Armstrong guns and two 9-pounders
fired from Tangku across the river at an entrenchment
_ _ _

which flanked the French right ; three 8-inch mortars were
in the centre at 600 yards range, and to their left rear an
Armstrong battery, two 32-pounder guns, and two 8-inch
howitzers, all of which played on the fort we were attack-
ing. In addition to this, two 9-pounder guns, four 24-
pounder howitzers, the remaining two Armstrong guns,
and a rocket battery were placel in the open ground about
800 yards in front of the fort.

The storming party of infantry consisted of a wing of the
44th, under Lieut.-Col. MacMahon, and a wing of the 67th,
under Lieut.-Col. Thomas, supported by the other wings
of the two regiments, and the Royal Marines, under Lieut.-
Col. Gascoigne. A detachment of Royal Marines, under
Lieut.-Col. Travers, carried a pontoon bridge for crossing
the wet ditches, and Major Graham, R.E., conducted the
assault. The whole were commanded by Brigadier Reeves.
The fire of the artillery was most effective, the guns of the
fort (of which many were of very large calibre), were spee-
dily silenced, and at about 7 a.m. the magazine blew up
with a terrific explosion. A few minutes later the maga-
zine in the outer Ninth Fort was also exploded by a shell
from the gunboats.
The field guns were all advanced to within 500 yards of
the fort, and redoubled their efforts.
The fire of the fcrts having almost entirely ceased, a
breach was commenced near the gate, and a portion of the
storming party was advanced to within 30 yards to open
a musketry fire, the French infantry being on the right,
the English on the left.
The fire of the artillery being thus partially compelled to
slacken, the enemy emerged from their cover, and opened
a heavy fire of musketry on our troops.
The French, under Gen. Collineau, immediately pushed
on to the salient next the river, crossed the wet ditches in the
most gallant manner, and established themselves on the
berm, from whence they endeavoured to escalade the walls;
this, however, they were unable to effect from the vigorous
resistance of the Chinese.
The efforts of the Sappers to lay down the pontoon bridge
were unavailing, no less than 15 of the men carrying it
being knocked over in one instant, and one of the pontoons
destroyed.
At this juncture Sir R. Napier caused the two howitzers
of Captain Govan's battery to be brought up to within 50
yards of the gate, in order more speedily to create a breach,
and a space sufficient to admit one man had just been made
when our storming party, now joined by the head-quarters'
wing of the 67th, under Col. Knox, who had partly crossed
by the French bridge and partly swam over, forced their
way in by single file in the most gallant manner, Lieute-
nant Rogers, 44th Regiment, and Lieutenant Burslem,
67th Regiment, being the first to enter, when they assisted
in the regimental colours uf the 67th, carried by Ensign
Chaplin, who first planted them on the breach, assisted by
Private Lane, 67th Regiment, and subsequently on the
cavalier, which he was the first to mount . At the same mo-
ment the French effected their entrance, and the garrison
was driven back step by step, and hurled pell-mell through
the embrasures on the opposite side.
Here the same obstacles which had impeded our advance
obstructed their retreat; in addition to two wet ditches and
two belts of pointed bamboo ■takes, there was swampy
ground, and a third ditch and bank.
The storming parties opened a destructive fire on them
from the cavalier, and this was enhanced by the canister
fire of Captain Govan's guns, which had been moved to the
left of the fort for this purpose.
The ground outside the fort was literally strewn with the
enemy's dead and wounded—three of the Chinese were im-
paled on the stakes. A few fugitives reached the outer
North Fort, which opened fire to cover their retreat, and
was answered by the Armstrong guns with good effect.
About an hour after this the whole of the forts on both
sides of the river hauled down their war banners and hoisted
flags of truce. General Montauban and I sent each an
officer to asktheir meaning, and summon them to surrender,
but they only received an evasive and insolent reply, and
were defied to come on to the attack.
♦ccordingly two fresh regiments, the 3d Buffs and the
Bth Punjab infantry, having been brought up, I advanced
to attack the outer North Fort. Two 8 .inch guns were
placed in position against it; the other siege guns could not
be brought up.* The field batteries were placed at 800
yards' range on an arc encircling the left and front, the
French guns on our right. Not a shot was fired by the
enemy, and the allied infantry pushed on, crossed the
ditches, and scaled the walls, without meeting any opposi-
tion; the garrison of 2,000 men being made prisoners.
This fort was stronger than the first. They are all con-

structed on the same plan, being redoubts with a thick

rampart heavily armed with guns and wall-pieces, and
having a high cavalier facing seawards, the guns of which
were all turned in towards us ; they have two unfordable
wet ditches, between which and the parapet sharp bamboo
stakes were thickly planted, forming two belts, each about
15 feet wide, round the fort, an abattis encircling the whole,
and further covered by pieces of water, which force an ad-
vance to be made only on a narrow front.
Towards evening the garrisons of the South Forts were
observed to be evacuating them, and detachments of Eng-
lish and French were passed over in ships' boats, and oc-
cupied them. There is not now the trace of an enemy near
us, and the whole of the forts and entrenched camps are in
our hands, containing about 400 guns, many of which are
of very large calibre.
It is difficult to account for the confusion and uncertainty
which seemed to pervade the enemy when the first fort
fell , but it now appears that the general in command was
killed, and the second in command either killed or missing;
and the confusion caused by this, together with the severe
lesson received in the first fort, rendered them incapable
or unwilling of further resistance.

I cannot conclude this despatch without expressing my
sense of the very valuable services of Major-General Sir
Robert Napier, who conducted the attack, and whose as-
sistance has been most useful.

The service of the artillery under Brigadier-General
Crofton was most excellent ; its effects I have already
described.

The engineering operations were conducted by Lieut.-
Colonel Mann; and, lastly, I must bring to notice the gal-
lant conduct of the storming party, which was commanded
by Brigadier Reeves, who, himself severely wounded in
three places, did not quit the field until he had conducted
his men into the fort.

The wounded were removed as soon as possible to Taku,
where every arrangement for their temporary reception was
made by Dr. Muir, the principal medical officer.
M any others, both officers and soldiers, behaved in a man.
ner deserving of being mentioned, but want of time does not
permit me to treat of it in this despatch, and on a future
occasion I shall do myself the honour of bringing their
names to your notice.

I would also wish to inform her Majesty's Government
how cordially and sincerely our French allies have co-
operated with us, as well as the admiration I feel for their
gallant conduct in the field.

General de Montauban has always shown every disposi-
tion to act thoroughly in concert with me, and to co-operate
in every manner in his power.

The services of the gunboats will doubtless be brought to
notice by the naval commander-in-chief, and I beg here to
record what a valuable and efficient colleague I have found
in Admiral Hope, whose unwearing exertions throughout
the whole campaign, and in discharging the onerous duties
of transporting this large force to the seat of war, have
contributed greatly to the success of the operations.

I have, &c.,

Head Quarters, Ist Division, Camp,
near Sinho, August 24.

Sir,—l have the honour to report that, in obedience to
the orders of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, the
Ist Division, under my command, marched from Pehtang
about half-past ten a.m., on the 12th fist.

On reaching the enemy's second picket-house, which is
about 900 yards from their entrenched position, skirmishers
of the Ist Royals were sent to the left, and some of the 31st
to the] right, and shortly afterwards Colonel Barry's bat-
tery of Armstrong guns, and Captain Martin's battery of
9-pounders (the whole under the command of Captain Des-
borough), opened fire on the enemy's entrenchment at a
distance of about 800 yards; after a cannonade of twenty-
five minutes, the enemy's cavalry were seen moving to their
left from the entrenchments.

The guns then advanced to within 500 yards, and played
on the enemy's position, as also on the cavalry, who were
moving to their right; the fire of two Armstrong guns
quickly dispersed their cavalry, and in a few minutes the
advance was sounded, and the enemy's position found to be
abandoned.

The enemy now retired to the entrenched village of Sin-
ho, but Sir Robert Napier's division having turned their left,
the cavalry of the enemy, in large numbers, escaped behind
this village towards the Peiho forts.
The Armstrong guns, at a range of from 2,000 to 2,500
yards, made good practice on the fugitives.

* The guns of the cavalier of the captured fort were
waned and turned on it.

This engagement having been entirely that of artillery,
only one man of this divisi.,n was wounded.

I have, &c.,
(Signed) J. MICHEL, Major-General,
Commanding Ist Division

Camp, Tang-ho, August 24.

Sir,—l have the honour to report for the information of
his Excellency the Commander- in-Chief the result of the
operations of the force under my command, employed in the
advance from Pehtang, and the attack of the Tartar post
at the Sinho entrenchment.

The troops left their billets at four a.m. of the 12th inst.,
and moved out in the following order :—An advanced guard
of 200 men of the 3d Buffs, with two Armstrong guns of
Milward's Battery, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel
Sargent, 3d Buffs. Four Armstrong guns, Milward's Bat •
tery ; 23d Company Royal Engineers ; 3d Buffs ; Bth Regi-
ment Punjaub Infantry ; 44th Regiment ; Rolton's Rocket
Battery ; Royal Marines; Madras Sappers and Miners ;
Right Wing 67th Regiment ; Reserve Ammunition ; Hos-
pital Stretchers, &c. ; Rear-guard; Left Wing 67th Regi-
ment.

CAVALRY BRIGADE.

2 squadrons King's Dragoon Guards.
Probyn's Horse.
3 guns, Stirling's Battery,

Fane's Horse.

The head of the column moved at 4a.m., but though two
days' hard work had been devoted to repairing the roads,
the deep tenacious mud rendered them so difficult that it
was not till half-past seven that the rear of the column
cleared the gate of Pehtang.
According to his Excellency's instructions, the force
above enumerated struck off from the causeway by a track
to the right, at half a mile from Pehtang. The Com-
mander-in-Chief was himself a witness of the extreme
difficulties which had to be overcome in extricating the
troops from the inundated town of Pehtang, and advanc-
ing them through the deep mud, in which gun-wheels
were frequently imbedded axle-deep. It cost two hours'
hard labour to the troops to traverse the first two miles.

I advanced by brigades in line of contiguous columns at
quarter distance, my front covered by the advanced guard
of 200 3d Buffs, and Milward's Battery, under command of
Lieutenant-Colonel Sargent. The cavalry was formed on
my right.

A considerable halt was necessary to enable the rear to
struggle through the heavy ground, and close up, for I was
aware that I was liable to attack from the north as well as
from the enemy in front.

Observing the approach of the allied columns to the
direct attack of the entrenchment on the causeway, and
perceiving the enemy in great force both in that entrench-
ment and in front of the village of Sinho, I marched
directly towards them, taking their position in flank, and
threatening their line of retreat.

On arriving within 1,500 yards, Milward's Armstrong
guns opened on the enemy. These were the first shots fired
with that weapon in war, and the range and accuracy of
their fire excited the admiration of the force. The Tartar
horsemen were surprised by the fire, but not shaken. After
some hesitation they streamed out in a long line through a
passage across the marsh which separated us, and forming
with great regularity and quickness, enveloped my force in
a great circle of skirmishers. The northern portion formed
by the cavalry, known to be in that direction, who hitherto
kept out of sight, seemed suddenly to rise in position from
the plain.

As soon as the enemy's movements were clearly defined,
I sent to Brigadier Pattie, commanding the cavalry, direct-
ing him to detach a troop to protect my right rear, and to
take the opportunity to charge which the enemy so boldly
offered him.

I then had the satisfaction of seeing the admirable charge
of my cavalry, by which the Tartar horde, in front of them,
was driven from the field in disorder. Milward's Battery
had continued to play upon the enemy as long as it was pos-
sible to do so without injury to our advancing cavalry.
About this time Stirling's half-battery, which, being
unable to follow the movements of cavalry in such heavy
ground, had been left with an escort of 30 of Fane's Horse,
under Lieut. Macgregor, was charged by a body of Tartar
cavalry of very superior numbers. Lieut. Macgregor gal-
lantly led his small party against the enemy and defeated
them, many Tartars being killed, and Lieut. Macgregor and
many of his men being severely wounded.
Whilst this was going on my attention had been diverted
from my right front to a large party of Tartars, who were
steadily approaching the Buffs, on the left front, apparently
regardless of the fire of two of Milward's guns, under
Lieut. Harvey, of the Rifles, of the advanced guard, and of
Bolton's rockets. They advanced to within 450 yards, and
bore unflinching for a considerable time such a fire as would
have tried any troops in the world. The 4th brigade, under
Brigadier Reeves, being similarly attacked at the same
time, replied with a steady fire, which did considerable
execution.

At length the courageous endurance of the enemy began
to give way, and they fled from the field with precipita-
tion.

I then advanced my force towards the western end of the
village of Sinho, and joined the allied columns.
At no time 'throughout the day had we opportunity of
coming into contact with the enemy's infantry.
Trusting that the objects intended by his Excellency have
been carried out by the force under my command, I beg to
bring to his notice the excellent conduct and discipline of the
troops of all arms during a very trying day.
I am much indebted to the brigadiers commanding the
several brigades of cavalry and of infantry, and to tho officer
commanding the field artillery, all of whom performed the
duties entrusted to them to my entire satisfaction.
I received the most valuable assistance from my divisional
and personal staff, whose labours were unremitting.
I beg to subjoin a list of officers whom I desire earnestly
to recommend to his Excellency's favourable consideration.
