Operations in the Crimed.--In order to form
a correct notion Of the operation of the Allies
on the 9Th Of June, against the Russian works
at Sebastopol, it is desirable to refer to the de-
scription Of these works. Every one is aware
that the ground before Sebastopol is intersecied
by ravines descending to the sea these ravines
being divided from each other by ridges, up
on which both the Russian works and the prin.
eipal batteries Of the besieging armies are
erected.
The ravine farthest to the northeast, and on
the extreme right Of the allied position, in
front of what is now called the 1nkermann at
tack, is that descending to the Gardening Har-
Dor 1t Twas al one timo intended by the Allies
TO take possession of the whole north ridge
down to the Careening Harbor but the Rus
slams crossed the rayine with great deiermina-
tiun, and established two works on the lower
slope Of it-one ai 500 yards and the other ut
400 yards from the second parallel
These rcdoubts have probably ere this fallen
into the hands Of the Allies, for Pclissier's dis
patch of June 9th says, "The enemy have com
plctely abandoned the right shore Of the Ca
reening Bay" This is an important position,
commanding the ships in port, and almost in
tercepting The entrance to the town, The next
ridge is that on which tho Maakon Tower
stands, and, opposite to 1t, at a distance Of
about mile and half, the Victoria redoubt
has been erected by the Allies
The Victoria attack carried on by the French
is directed from this point against tho lower and
adjoining works. Descending nearer to the
tower, and about 600 yards in front of il is the
Mamelon, which is described as commanding
the tower itself The conquest and occupation
Of this hill by the French is the result of the
comics. Of June :. Tho Malakoff Tower it,
self, being one of the few works in masonry on
the land side Of Sebasiopol, was long since re-
duced TO ruins, but it is now enclosed by very
| high sen-circular parapet Of earth, pierced
with 10 embrasurcs, and surrounded by a ditch.
From the tower to the Careenne Bay there
runs long line of parapct, broken at half way
by battery Of l6 guns on two faces, and thus
lanking the curtain between this point and the
tower. Another battery Of II guns, on the
hill above Careening Bay, is connected with
this work by further parapet, which extends
to the sea. We apprehend that the works TAX
en- on the 9TH June are outside this line The
Redan is separated from the Malakoif Tower
by what is termed the Middle Rayine, and
stands upon the ridge between tho WoronzoiI
Ravine and this middle ravne.
On the ridge also stands the allied Crown
battery, fronting the apex of the Redan, which
was further defended by an obdiiis, and by a
strong party of riiemen lodged in stone quar-
ry in front Of the work, and which quarry was
carried by the British on the 9TH of June. Sc
bastopol. it is to be remembered, is not for
tress, but town defended by a.chain Of forts
and field Notifications
i From the description, it will be noticed that
the several attacks of the hesieging armies arc
advancing pdri paSsu on parallel lines, and that
tho recent operations Of the French and Eng
lish, although distinct, assist each other, and
arc essential TO the success Of the common en-
terprise-the plan Of the allies being to inclose
this Russian line of Notifications within anOth-
or line which shall gradually advance until the
besioged arc driven into the sea
Gen. Pelisser's first dispatches are quite
dramatic.
