had seen going in great numbers to the fort Of

upon the fort al three III the morning. Al ten

La Casauba, July &, 3 o'clock Z. NJ.
PRISCE.-rhe opening Of the fire before the
fort Of the Emperor was deferred till the 4th of
July, in order that all the batteries might fire
at once. though, that, by striking awe into
the enemy the very n ST day, bya
great superiority in our fire, should abrldge
the duration of the operation.
The lrenches were opened on the night of the
2pih, after which the works were uot utter
rupred moment. During the night, and even
in the hours when the workmen are generally
relieved, the enemy sart'lIery fired but little.
Daring the day, the Turkish and Arab sharp
shooters protected by the bushes, stole into
the ravines which were TO the lett OF the at
kidney wounded II pretty considerable
num her Of men ; but the troops were soon CO.
! yered by epaulments.
We had reason to expect vigorous sallies.

lowed the enemy 10 assemble without danger
before the Casauba. They did not prof, by
his advantage. However. every thing was
ready 10 give then a good reception.
The batteries had been erected with aston
| ishng rapidiiy.-Among the t~enty-sIx pieces
of artillery mounted in them, there were ten pa

At o clock IN the morning rocket gave the
signal, and the firing commenced; that ot the
enemy replied for 3 hours with much briskness
The Turkish eunners, though the Wilderness of
embrasures left them almost wholly exposed,
remained bravey at their post, but conld DOT
long contend against the skill and lntfepidty
of ours, whom Gen. La HatIa animated by his
example and counsel. Al 3 O'Clock the hrng
OF the fort was silenced ; that vi our batteries
/ continued TO ruin the works. The order TO
make a breach had been given, aud was be
ginning to be executed, when, a, 10 O'clock, a
dreadful explosion caused par, of The fort to
disappear. Torrents of flame, clouds OF dust
and smoke rose TO prodIgous height, stones
were thrown in all directions, but did not cause
any serious accident. Gen. Hurei, who COM
manded the trenches, did not lose a nome nt
TO pass over the space between our troops and
the fort, AID TO place them there in the midst
of the ruins. II seems certain, that. at nIne o.
clock, the troops who defended il, being dis.
Outraged, returned into the CITY, crying that
they were sacrihce ed TO no purpose. aud that
