addressed to the French army by its Com
mander-inChief:
Soldiers In the battle of the 18th our ca
giles were carried to the works which form the
very precincts of Sebast0pol but it was neces-
sary to abstain from carrying to the furthest
contest whose incidents l had rot forseen
would be 50 bloody, and you returned to your
lines In order, the enemy not daring to leave
his entertainments or disturb your return.
Our actual situation is that Of the day before
the combat. My confidence in your ardor and
Ia our success Is the same. The arrivals of
every day suffice, and more than suffice, to re-
place these among you who have gloriously
fallen, ana whom IL your hearts you have sworn
to ayenge.
We have gained ground, and in COMPRISING
the enemy more and more we strike him with
more certainty. He cannot subsist, f II up the
gaps in bis ranks, or provide himself with mu-
clifton, bat at the price Of unheard of efforts
while We, masters of the Sea necessarily and
beautifully renew eur means.
Soldiers You Will show yourselves moro
patient and energetic than ever in this obsti-
nate contest. which will decide the peace of the
world, and III which you have already given
proofs of self devotion, bravery and patriotism,
aiornius your flag with immortal glory.
