Admiral Bruat, of the French fleet before
Sebastopol, is always brave, but like some we
wot of in civic life, absolutely desperate when
he has the govt. 1t was in one OF these at
lacks that he conceived and executed the darp
ing scheme Of exploring the channel before
Sebastopol in a small boat in the night. He
visited all parts Of the harbor, made accurate
observations, and touched with his own hand
the walls of the Notifications which command
the entrance OF the port. But day broke be-
fore he had left the harbor, and disclosed the
slams, and it was under fearful shower of
proiectles OF every description, that the boats
made their way out. Fortunately not ma
was injured, though the long-b boat Of the
CharlemPgne was somewhat damaged by tho
enemy's shot. This bold attempt, so success
fully executed, has since been the principal
subject Of conversation and praise in the fleet.
