DAYS later news. We extract the following from

The Allies had made an unsuccessful attempt on
the 18th of June to storm Sebastopol The most
contradictory reports prevail with regard to the
transaction. By some accounts the English report
is set down at four thousand men, but this is be-
leved to be exaggeration. The following are the
only official notifications of the event:
Lord Panmure regrets to have to announce that
he has received information that the English troops
attacked the Redan, and the French the Malakoh
Towers. at daylight on the morning of the eight

The Russian account of the successes of the AL.
lies in the sea of Azof is published. Gortschakof
confirms the success claimed by the Allies but says
that operations against the sea of Azoff-that not
having the means to oppose the hostile fleets, the
garrisons had orders to blow up the batteries and
retire-that the grain stores burned by the Allies
were mostly private property, and do not material
ly affect the supply of army, inasmuch as, antici
pating such an attack, supplies were mostly con
veyed by land, notwithstanding the facility offered
by sea.
