French Headquarters, on June 23d, says:

attacked the breach with good effect at only 80 /
metres distances and on the 2Oh that the operations
did not advance as rapidly as was hoped, in CON

the most solemn silence, three columns Of attack, !
each consisting Of 200 grenadiers, hanked by 100
light troops, followed by three divisions, Of 80 men
each, Of sappers and miners, mounted the broken
wall and gained firm footing.
Their ascent was not at first perceived but the
alarm was speedily given, and the Romans on the
top Of the breach and on the side parapets poured
IN several volleYs Of muskelrY. The column OF
attack nohly pushed their way, and in a short
time full possession Of the ground was obtained
where the breaches had been made in bastions Nos.

grenadiers carried everything al the poiHt OF the
bayOnet and secured many JOG prleOneTs, the
loss in killed and wounded on the part Of the gar
Tison not being yet aseerained. At II O'Clock the
position was won, and instantly 800 men, each

passed was literally ploughed up, yet very little
injury was done, and only captains and thirty
rank and file were killed or wounded. The lire
