REGENT SUCCESSES nKFoRE sRBAsroroL
In order TO form notion Of the operations Of the
allies the 9Th Of Juue against the Russaa works az Sc
bastopo Is desirable 70 refer 70 the description Of These
works Every one Il that the ground bedfc Sebas
opo Is nterseeed By ravnes descending the sea- these
ravines being divided from each other by ridges upon
which both the Russian works and the principal batteries
Of the bescging armies erected.
The rayine furthes 20 tn" northeast aud the extreme
right Of the allied position 10 front OF what Is called
the nkermann attack is that descending the Careenug
harbor II was at time intended BY The allies to take
possession OF the whole Of the north ridge down the
reening harho but the Russians crossed the ravne with
great determination, and established two works on the
lower slope of ione at 500 yards and the other at
yards from the second parallel.
These redoubts have probably this fallen into the
hands of the allies for Pessers despatch OF June save
"the enemy have completely abandoned the right ahore 81
the Careening bay This is important position
handing the ships in port and almost intereepng the
trance to the town. The next ridge is that which the
Maakoh Tower stands and opposite 20 IL distance Of
about mile and a half the Victoria redouht has been
erected by the allies.
The Victoria attack carried by the French directed
from this point against the tower and adjoining works
Descending nearer to the tower and about 500 yaras
front Of it, s The Mameon which described command
ing the tower itself The conquest and occupation Of this
Hill by the French the result Of the contest Of June
The MaakoG Tower itself being Of the few works IN
masonry the land side of Sebastopo was long since re-
duced to ruins but 1t enclosed by very high semi
circular parapet Of earth pierced with twelve embrasues
and surrounded by ditch
From the tower to the Careening bay there runs long
line Of parapet broken Mt halfway BY battery OF 6 guns
two faces and thus ilankng the curtain between this
point and the tower Another battery Of II guns, the
hill above Careening bay is connected with this work by
further parape which extends to The We appre-
bend that the works taken the 18th June outside
this line The Redan separated from the Maakoh Tower
by what is termed the Middle Ravne and stands upon the
ridge between the Woronaof Ravine and this Middle RAJ
vine.
On the ridge also stands the allied Crown Battery 'front.'
ing the apex Of the Redan which further defended by
abatis, and by strong body Of remen lodged 10
stone quarry in front of the work. and which quarry was
carried by tie british on the Tth of June Sehaatnpol
il to be remembered not fortress but town defend
ed by chain OF forts and field Notifications.
From the description il will be noticed that the several
attacks Of the besiegng armies advancing pa passu
parallel lines and that the recent operations Of the
French and English although distinct assist each other and
are essential q the success Of the common en,eprseh
plan of the allies being enclose the Russian line Of for
heatons within another line which shall gradually adj
vance until the besieged are driven into the sea
We proceed to give the official accounts Of those
operations:
