improbable, and exaggerated,

were destreyed in the harbor; also, that the
quarantine batteries were silenced, and ,

} Three regiments OF English light cavalry
were exposed to the cross fire of the Russian
batteries and suffered immensely. The

admirable bravery. On the next day this
position was attacked by 5000 Russians,
; well from the side OF tho town as from Bal
! aklava, and repulsed the enemy with great

the 2jih Gen. Lcprandi attacked a detached
camp of English, and took four redoub,s,
which protected their position, and took II
guns. At the same times a powerful cavalry
attack was made which would probably cost
the English half their light cavalry. Lord
, Curdcncgan who commanded, escapes with
difficulty, but Lord Dunkellin was Ia ken prs-
oner. Greek accounts from Odessa, confirm
this and say that the English cavalry lost 500
certain.
