SroRMlNG OF THE MALAKoFF REDoUBr
sian redonbt by the French, The London
Times says, edi,orially:
81, appears, by the las. accounts, that the
purpose of the allied Generals is still fixed
on the prosecution of the siege by means Of
bombardment, followed by an assault.
1.-Two experimental attacks have been
made by The French in two different ways,
which serves TO show that il is not easy to
gain an advantage over our indefa,igable an
,agonis,s. ]. appears from both the Rus
sian and French reports, that in the nigh. Of
2ls. o: February, the Russians succeeded in
throwing up with grea, rapidly a new re-
doub. On the righ, bank Of The careening
harbor.
"Within fortv-eight hours Gen. Canro-
bert resolved to force the new position, and
the attack was made before the work had
been completed. A large body Of the French
troops, under Gen, Monet, sdvsnced in the
night OF the 23d, against the redoubt. The
Zousves rushed upon the iD,renchments
with the utmos. bravery, and a eanguinary
contest ensued, which cost nearly 500 Of
those admirable soldiers.
''1'he Russian infantry regiments Of Sc
Iengh inski end Vylhynla, under General
Krous,chof, defended the work with great
s,eadiness and, after severe combat, the
French column was compelled to retreat.
| This unfortunate result. has been attributed
to several cause.-the disclosure by spies
Of the French plan Of attack The fire of The
Russian vessels in the harbor, and from the
surrounding forts and want Of steadiness
on The part of one portion Of the asssilsnls,
who ere raid to have left the Zouaves 10
bear the brunt Of the engagement.
1--WE are unable to determine with certain
ty what amount of truth there may be in
these statements, but j. is undoubtedly true
that the Russians appear to have expected
the attack, and had occupied the position
with small army rather than with de-
lachment in proportion 10 its extent. On
the side of the French the force consisted
Of only half brigade Of Zouaves, 1900
strong: two batsions of Marines, $500
strong, and 400 Volunteers, in all less than
$500 men.
1.-THE Russians were 10000 strong, and
The unfortunate Zousves fell into a regular
ambuscade. Nevertheless, such was the
dsun,Iess vigor of these troops; that they
stoned the redoubt and held oDe-hslf Of i,

driven back in all directions, and the latter
