kors of delaying the advance OF the works of the
bns;oefr. which are executed under most heavy FIRE
thin very short range Of the fortihcatiOns, and
,ryst occasion them great loss.
Already. 10 evade loss the enemy has only occupied
he trench abandoned by US on the LIST Of May by
small number Of riff men, and has not erected any
works there IA regards his fire it is directed chiefly
AGAINST tie Flagstaff and Central bastions and against
he Schwartz redoubt, situate between the two latter

TO Tie above Prince Gorchakoff adds the following
deiais:
tempted to smoke out the enemy IN the eatonnor 70
The left Of the Flagstaff baston The eectof the ex-
rosion vas 40 great that from the fortress men were
seen blown up into the AIR.
In tie night between the goth OF Aprl aud lst OF
NAV. having driven back detachment of the enemy
which had left the trenches 10 storm approaches
we made small sortie in the direction of the enton
noirs Of the enemy, situate in front of the Flagstaff
bnson to attract considerable forces to that poat,
was attended with complete success tie works Of lhc
Leseecrs destroyed, and after the second expo
son tie cros Of the wounded were heard III the second
entonI OH.
On tho LIST of Nav, at 1880 p. NJ. the enemy hsy-
ing asscubled nearly 10 900 men, left the trenches
preceded by about 600 volunteers AMI with hurTahs
Threw themselves upon the Judgments IN front OF tho
Central bastiOn. Despite a heavy fire OF musketry
md a charge with the bayone by two battaiOns o
fle OucIifcl Chasseurs the enemy occupied the lolg
men.s and then advanced against the Schwartz re-
doubt, bat were stopped by Deayy fire OF grape At
day break tho enemy returned to the trenches, leaving
only few volunteers and ritiemen IN the Judgments
tloy had token possession OF.
The lOes OF the assailans must have been very
siderable for according to the statements OF prisoners
thor reserves came up within range OF tue grape
OF our cannon; the trenches full of corpSes of the
enemy.
On the % Of May at II AM. we fred two mines, tho
cx lo,ion Of which destroyed the works of the be-
s,geIs meant 10 crown the enonnors in front Of the
Flag stih besilOn.
TO make certain of The number of men the enemy
had placed in the trenches evacuated by us the ls
OF May made O strong reconnaissance at Il. VI.
leo volunteers, supported by battalion of the Koy
van Cbasseurs and by battalion of the Vladimir
Regiment occupied tho trench nearest to u.s. aud
pell,d the French TO leave it. The reconnaissance
made us aware that the advanced trench occupied
by a considerable force OF the enemy, and conse-
oueutiy tie volunteers recalled.
Our loose in the combat the night between the
Let and 2d of May consisted in superior officer,
nine suhacfn officers, and 2S3 men killed. two
p,rior oiclrs 10 subalterns, and $40 men wounded.
On the 80 of May movement was visible in the
enemy's feet At 6A. NJ. different vessels approached
PaIaklaya; troops were embarked aud horses put on
board two Of The vessels. AT in the evening all the
steamers got up their steam, and about the vessels
with the troops embarked stood out TO in d west
north westerly direction.
In the night between the Sd and 4th of May the
enemy made further attempts against the Central
and Flag staff bastons. On our side we construed
four new batteries that space the ramparts of the
old works were strengthened, and on some points
frightened. lie mining works were actively
tinued; nowhere could we hear the enemy at work in
the mines.
On Tie 9Th of May at p. NJ, some wcll-directed
shells blew up two powder-magazines in the French
eight-guD battery established opposite the Central
bastion. The fire of the battery was silenced.
In the night between the 9Th and 9th of May We
mado ccessiu Little sores in front of the Relan.
W G took an English officer aud three prisoners.
On the,6th Of May at $3.50 A. NJ, the fire of bai-
terry near the Flagstaff nas;ion caused violent OK
plosion in the enemy's battery; the commoton it
created very great; some of the men hurled
out OF tho battery, and beams and stones thrown up
into The air.
Altogether, during the period from the 3Oth of April
to the 9th of May loss much less than during
the fsl days OF the bonbar,ment; but We have to
dellOre the loss of very dsting officers
Nothing of importance has occurred on other points
of the Peninsula.
