1t is stated that General Margans French Divs-
ion, on the way to attack the fort on the extreme
right, by the Careening Harbor, commenced the at
tack prematurely, and before the other division had
taken their ground. Margan fell mortaly wound
ed, and his division being thrown into disorder, the
Russians turned their concentrated fire upon the
next division as it came up under General Brunei,
and shattered it badly. Brunei also fell. Orders
were then given to withdraw the troops into the
trenches, although General Autevane had mean
time reached the Malakof Tower. The retreat
effected with good order, but with great loss
When Lord Raglan the defeat of the First
French Division, he hastily ordered an attack on
the Redan, to affect a diversion in favor of the
French, although it was previously intended that
the British should not attack until the French had
captured the Malakof nasmuch as the Malakoff S
guns quite commanded the Redan So far as civil
ians at distance could judge, Lord Raglans order
to attack was great error for the British stormng
party not being sufficiently strong to carry the
works, Were repulsed with much slaughter A Gu
rous incieent is, that Gen. Eyre with 1000 British
troops, penetrated into the suburbs of Sebastopol
ITSELF and held possession of the houses in one
street for seventeen hours but being totally unsup-
ported he retired at nightfall The inference is
that had the assault been general, or Systematically
planned the city would have fallen. or at least its
first line of defense might have been carried.
French letters of June 25th say that the army
was full of confidence. The approaches were push
ing forward to the Malakoff Tower, and French
battery of thirty guns was nearly completed, in
front of the Careening Bay to keep off the Russian
ships, their fire having caused much loss on the
18th
