their large tents and substituted the san 'es. a

to leave their several encampments Tor W.
purpose OF forming and concentrating ne@ w w
entrance 10 The plain. Just before daybreak tae
advanced body were within thousand yards OF ne
square redout the side of the hill TO the north OF the
opening forming the valley OF Chorgun. The cavalry
French and Ottoman troops stretched back as far as
Balaklaya.
Gen. Canrobert commanded on the field, but Cen.
pelser superintendent the operations from project
ing hight on the right flank near tue Canrobert re-
doubt. The force altogether comprised about 90 900
men and included the division of British cavalry,
Sardinian division and about 5000 Ottonans. Day
light sooner exposed the approach of the allied
force than the enemy IN all dreciions Tue large
redoubi attacked at the point OF the bayonet just
the first tiDts Of morning were visible but contrary
to all expectation, the Cans had been all removed.
A few detsehments alone guarded the work. On
pushing up the hill to a shelving plain where tue
enemy had cat series of ziZZsgs and intrencbmens,
il was equally found to be abandoned. The troops
which had retired made slight opposition from, the
side Of neigkboring hight bat few discharges
of shells and grape Compelled them to fly. At
the time that this transprcd the left Of the
Chemaya, other troops had advanced on the right,
and gained possession of low mamelon and ridge
commanding the village ITSELF No opposition was
offered, and few rounds of grape and some shell
discharged into the woods aeOve the village to
complete the disorder of the troops who were
escaping. Inc enemy kept up very active IRE
from the batteries on the side of the Inkermann
Mountain, but the shells usually barst about half
way in the air, and the shot, though falling
as for as the redoubt near Chorgnn, failed to
do any execution. Seine prisoners were taken,
ard also number Of horses, and some sheep and
cattle. Such was the hurry in which the troops quar-
tered in the village escaped that many had left por
lions of their dress behind and in few instances,
tices Of considerable value 1t is stated that part of
the force quartered during the Winter at Tchorgun
had only been lately Withdrawn to the ntrenched po
son of the army Of the north, and that some OF the
troops had left Immediately after the departure OF the
expedition toward Kertch.
After fully accommodating the nights around Tchor
eun ard also tie lie of bills in direction toward
Khutor Mackenzie on one side and Ksmara on the
other the French General withdrew his main body to
the Cbersonese side Of the Tcbernaya, occupying
however with bis outposts the high points near the
opening of the valley of Tchorgun and commanding
possession of portion Of the river. 1t is an import
ant advantage to gain, for the preeen the supply OF
water, and moreover this advance is step in the
the direction to which the future movements of the
several armies will be carried
The state Of the ground between the Turkish bat
teres and the Tchernnya shows at once that the Rus
SLAMS never had serious intention of defending this,
their lookout position. Small numbers of troops only
have been quartered in traversed this part OF their
late territory. The grass Is in full growth; ON the
banks of the river there shrubs and trees and only
here and there few earh-huts the black marks OF
a picket-fre show that attachments of troops
he We now and then occupied small camping grounds.
No particulars have been received Of the later
rnOyemeDt.
