BEFORE SEyAsTOPOL, June 9.-My Lord, have
thp great satisfaction Of informing your lOrdsp that
the assault which was made upon the quarres III front
of the Redan from advanced parallel IN the right
attack the evening OF the 9TH instant was attended
with perfect success, and that the brave men VINO
achieved this advantage with a galantry ana deter
mipaiion that does them infinite honor, maintained
themselves on the ground they had acquired, nOtwith-
standing that during the night and ~ the morning oil
Yesterday, the enemy made repeated attempts TO drive
Them out each attempt ending IN failures altnOuShs sup
uored by large bodies of troops aud by heavy DIS
charges of musketry, and every species OF offensive
missile.
The French on our right had shortly before moved
out ofheir trenches and attacked the Ouyrages Bancs
and the Mamelon. These they carried without the
smallest check, and their leading column rushed Tor
ward and approached the M0akOh tower, but this 1t
had not been contemplation TO assa and the troops
were brought back and finally established IN the enc
mys works from which the latter did not succeed IN
expeing them though the fire of musketry and can
non which was brought to bear upon them was tre-
never saw anything more spirited and rapid than
the advance of our allies.
am happy TO say that the best feeling prevails be
twes the two armies, and each ls proud OF aud Goa
fdcnt in the gaanty and high military qualities OF the
other. a., OF
that our batteries reopened that afternoon Inc nre

given for the assault of the works have enumerated
and the n suit was most triumphant.
Tho trools employed in stOrmlng the quarrles were
conlpoeed of detachmens from the Light aud Second
Divisions, and at night they were supported by the

The command of these troops was ntrusted to Col.

arrangements and guided as TO the points OF attack
aud distribution of the troops by Lieutenant Coone
Tyden of tie Royal Engineers, the d Getting engineer
officer of the ri, LIT attack.
Although nothing could be more spirited than the
attack of the quaIres, or more creditabe 70 every
officer and man engaged in the operation, yet can
not refrain from drawing your lordShps especial AZ
tention TO the energy and determination winch they
all displayed in maintaining and establishing them-
selves after their first success IN them. Ihey were
repeatedly attacked during the night ana again soon
after daylight on the sth, and was IN resisting these
repeated Efforts the part of the enemy that great
portion of the heavy loss the army has to deploe was
sustained.
The mode in which Colonel Shirley conducted this
very arduous service and carried out his orders en-.
titles him to my highest commendauon l have great
pleasure in mentioning the following officers VINO are
stated TO have distinguished themselves on the occa-
son. viz: Lieutenant Colonel Campbell, OF the yOth,
who commanded the storming party; Major Mills,
ROYAL Fusileers; Major NIliers, 47h; MAJOR Arm

Corr oral Quinn, 47th, VINO took Russian oincer prs
oner in the most gallant manner
also feel il nv duty to solicit your lordships no

den Of the Royal Engineers he has been lndeiatSaOls
in the discharge of his peculiar duties iron tne com
mencement Of the siege. and he has always been al
hand 10 aid in the rcpulse of the enemy when they
have assaulted our trenches. He euiogzes the con-
duct of Captain Browne of the Royal Engineers, Lieu

Notwithstanding the frequency of the endeavors OF
tie Russians TO regain possession Of the quarres aud
the Interruptions 10 the work 10 which these attacks
gave rise, Lieutenant Colonel Tylden enabled TO
effect the Judgment and TO establish the communication
with the advanced parallel and this rebounds greatly
10 bic credit and that of the officers and men EMPLOYED
as the working party; and cannot omit this opporu-
nifty to express my appreciation of the conduct of the
Saprts throughout the operation.
der General Dacres, and those Of the Naval Brigade,
under Captain Lushngton, X. NJ IN serving the guns,
cannot be too warmly commended. The accuracy OF
their hfe Ii the theme of universal admiration, aud
the constancy with which they applied themselves to
their arduous duties under all Circumstances, how
ever dangerous, cannot be too strongly placed upon
record.
II is deeply to be amented that this success should
have entailed so heavy loss is shown in the &C
conpaDying returns, which however are still incom-
Ptto; but have assurance Of the principal medical
officer that many Of the wounds are slight and that
by far the greatest portion Of the sufferers are pro-
