From the London Times Of the 93rd.l
In the present state of the siege of Sebasto-
pol all that tho allied Generals can hope to
effect is to subdue and occupy some of the
outer works which the Russian engineers
under the command Of General Todebcn. have
constructed with so much skill. hardihOod,
and efficiency Accordingly, the principal
efforts of the French are directed against the
/ Flagstaff Battery. our fire is mainly directed
against the Great Redan. and the French at
! tack on the extreme right is occupied with
the works in front of the Malakoff Tower
OF these three points Of attack the first is the
most advanced, and that which most nearly
threatens the interior Of the town. We do
not anticipate that the effect of the fire which
commenced on the 9th of April will lie the
immediate reduction Of the place itself, and
we shall be we'll satisfied if this attack leaves
the allied armies in possession of some of the
advanced works which are the main defcncrs
Of Sebastopol, and have hitherto proved the
most formidable obstacles to the success OF
the siege. A decided advance Of this nature
would be the surest pledge Of our ultimate
success.
