retreating short distance, during the whole
time Of which they were skirmshng, they returned
to the charge end with the utmost GOODNESS and daring
moving more TO the left, tired TO storm the breast
work at another point. In this they were unsuc-
ceeful in their first attempt. The troops reserved
their fire until the Russians closed and giving one ire
mendous volley prepared to receive those who might
strive to the breastwork with the bayonct. But
so the effect OF their volley that the enemy
seemed paralyzed Their officers tried TO lead them
up but The men though they fired fast seemed disn-
clined to follow. They were wayering fast when
second force of Russians about 500 strong came upon
the field The reinforcement made fresh effort TO
force our trenches conentng themselves with Skin
mshng to cover the retreat Of the attacking party.
The English quilted their brcastwoTk but fired

this they suffered loss from fire, which from
our sheltered position they quite unable to return
at least with any effect After about quarter of
hours Diminishing in this manner the enemy fell back
and got under cover OF the Redan.
As usual, the instant the attack was rcpulsed and
the Russians clear off, their batteries opened fire upon
the portion of orr lines which the sorties had been
made. They poured in regular yolleys of round shot,
grape and shol. The heavy dark sky which lowered
everything seemed perfect aurora borealis with
tie iucessant nshes Of the guns. Tdis retaliation
was fully expected. and ell our troops lay down until
the iron hail had passed. Only one man was XII by
about half or honr the cannonade ceased and except
an occasional gun from the enemy, or large mortar
from Ourselves and the French, all Sevastopol and the
allied trenches were wrapt in perfect silence.
MAY l1.-Again last night we had another sortle
upon working parties in the left attack. 1t was
but slight affur-in fact more skirnish with sharp
shooters than q sortie. About sixty of the enemys
r1emen issued from the Redon and tried to annoy the
troops engaged in completing advanced trench.
After about half an hours contest-a contest which
never rose higher than dropping fire of musketry-
the Russians retreated. After their retreat the Re1an
opened with shell and round shot, and maintained
such heavy fire that our working parties were
PEELED to desis from their labor and retire under the
cover of our works. For the rest of the nigh they
were unable to continue the trench. Weos! an in
formed, twelve men killed and wounded-four killed
and eight wounded. Five Of the latter were wounded
severely either by round shot or spinters of shell.
No officer was hurt. Beyond this cannonade there is
nothing in the way of fighting TO report. The Rus
SLAMS are strengthening their batteries which are
getting up guns and ammunition to destroy This,
though very concise summary of what the Allies and
Russians doing just now, think Is all that Is to be
told.
