hoff in addition to that which appeared in the
morning papers.
The Loadon Daily News thus speaks Of
the dispatches published by the government
Although it is well understood that the gov.
eminent is in possession of fuller intelligence
than that communicated in Lord Panmuro's
despatch published yesterday morning, NO
further official statements have been given to
the public.
We believe that when the details are pub
lished. it will be found that the check expe-
rionced by the allies commenced with the
sprnging of mine by the Russians, at a
moment when the assaulting columns were on
the point of establishing themselves within
the Russian line A.
! A considerable number Of Russian troops
lost their lives with the French and English
by this explosion.
In the recoil which followed, our allies,
pressed by force of numbers, receded to the
Mamelon and beyond it, and the Mamelon
batteries were, for time, in the power Of
the enemy. 1t was at this period that the
English suffered most, being exposed in the
position taken on the 7th to the flank fire and
the guns on the Mamelon. The enemy was
not suffered to remain in this regaincd work,
but was driven back by the French to the
enciente, our gallant allies remaining masters
of the Mamelon.
