There we're many rumOrs circulating in
: Paris regarding The cause of the defeat
One of these attributes it to the errors of
the British commanding officers. first, in not
passing the fascines which had been provi-
ded for filling mp the trenches in the Re-
dan, and secondly in not having immediate
iy appriSed the French commander that they
would necessarily retire.
The British, on their side, say that they
took the Redan, but could not hold it be-
cause the French failed to silence the Mala-
koff
:. Prince Gortsctakoff had teIegraphed to
st. Petersburg that the Allied corps which
had crossed the Tchernaya again returned
10 the left bank of the river on the night of
the 22d, and that the Russians had observed
a great movement among the Allied squad
rons.
Gen. Pelissier telegraphed from the Cri-
mea on the 26th that nothing new had ia
ken place, that the Allies were pushing
their approaches against the Malakoff, and
fastening the destruction of, and advancing
batteries which would complete the invest
ment of the port that they were also draw
ing closer with the left attack.
Lord Paimure states that the French and
English both were proceeding with their ap-
proaches against tue Russians works, and
and were erecting batteries which were to
be armed with heavy guns that the Rus
slams continued to repair the damages done
during the last attack; that the Allies re-
tain possession of the Russian Round Fort
in the Cemetery, from which the Russians
were driven on the 18th, of the Mamelon
in the gorge of the valley which divides the
i English left attack from the right of the
south of the harbor, which had been remov-
! ed. (D
I The Paris correspondent of the London
Times speaks Of a communication which had
taken place between the French and Eng
lish Governments, arising out of the al
legged inergetic support given by the Eng
lish to their colleagues in the attack of the
18th.
j Lord Raglan was sick and had asked to
