The Moniteur publishes the following:
| The Minister Of War has received from
! Gen. Canrobert commander in-chief of the
army in the East, the following report, da-
ted head quarters before Sebastopol, Octo-
Der 2Sth, 1854:
| Monsieur Lcdru Rolin: Yesterday, at
sunrise, we opened fire, in concert with
the English navy, and matters were doing
well, when the explosion of powder mag
azine, which unhappily was large one,
created some disturbance to our attack
| This explosion had bad effect, as our bat
teries were accommodating around the spot
When it took place the enemy took advan-
| tage of it to open their fire, and after con-
sUlting the General commanding the artile-
ry, l deemed it advisable TO suspend our
fire to repair our damages, and to compete
with our right by new batteries near the
English lines, that being our system of at
tack. This delay is dearly TO be regretted,
but it cannot be helped, and l am taking
every means to render it as short as posi-
bic. The city has withstood the fire much
better than was expected.
On the 9th, our troops took possession
of the plateau and the front of the point Of
attack called the Masked Bastion, and which
we now occupy. This evening we will con-
struct masked battery OF twelve guns, and
if possible, second battery at the extreme
right, above the decivity. All our means
of attack are concentrated on this bastion
and will, hope, soon clear it, with the as.
sistance of the English batteries, which at.
tack it ON the left flank.
Yesterday, about A. NJ, the allied fleet;
attacked the exterior batteries Of the place
but have not yet received the official &C,
count of that attack so as to give the result
The English batteries are in the best posi-
bic condition. They have received nine
new mortars, which will have great effect.
Yesterday, in Russian battery situated
on the left Of the tower, an explosion took
place, which must have done great injury t
them, for since then the fire of that battery
has been very slack, and this morning only
a few guns were able 10 fire from it.
