On the Bth, the enemy was dislodged from the
strong country near Sestri.
On the 12th, Major-General Montresor's divi-

and on the 13th established himself in the advanced
position of Sturla. The country war extremely

walls.
On the 17th at day-break the attack began.
The 3d Italians under Lieut.-Colonel Cerevignic,
attacked with great spirit a height in front of Fort
Tecla, drove away the enemy and took three moun-

A part of the 3d Italians, moved op the hill
