Capture Of The .Nami,lon and Qugrrg.--
From the correspondence Of the London
Times we take the following account of the
successful attack on the Mamclon, on the
1th Of June;
The fire on our side, which had oontInu.

sudden access Of fury about three o'clock.

the need Of support become manifest, and
gun or two again dashed from the embras-
ures against them, thnn there was another
run in, another sharp baynet fight inside. and
this time the Russians went out, spkIng
their guns. Twice the Russians made head
against the current, Tor they had a large
mass Of troops in reserve, covered by the
guns Of the Round Tower. Twice they
were forced back by the onsweepiug flood

uncertain fight waxed and waned inlide the
Enclosure. Then the back door, # one may
use humble metaphor, was busit OPEN
The noise OF the conflict went away down
the descent on the side towards the town,
and the arena grew larger. 1t was apparent
that the Russians had been reinforced, by
the space over which the battle spread
When the higher ground again became the
seat Of action, iEeu there came the second
rush Of the French back upon their supports,
for the former one was a mere reflux or ed
dy of the stream. When rocket after rock
et went up oninously from the French gen
erals position, and seemed TO emphasize by
their repetition some very plain command,
we began TO get nervous. II was growing
darker and darker, too, so that with our glas-
ses we could with difficulty distingui the
actual state Of affairs. There was dispute
I for some time as to whether our allies were
going in or out Of the work, and the staff
themselves were by no means clear as to
what was going on. At last, through the
twilight we discerned that the French were
/ pouring in. Alter the interval Of doubt, our
ears could gather that the swell and babbe
of the fight were once more rolling down
the inner face OF the hill, and that the Rus
SLAMS were conclusively beaten. "They are
all well into it, this time" said one to anoth>
er, handing over the glass. The muskei

There was no more lightning Of the heavy
guns from the embrasures. A shapeless
