Sebastopol no longer exist. The evening
preceding our solid occupation of the
Malakoff, the Russians decided to evacu-
ate the place, after having destroyed and
blown it up by mines. Having passed
with nay troops, can assure you that ev-
erythiag in the Csrabelnaya is blown up,
and from what can see the same must be
the case in the ont of our attack. This
immense success reflects the highest honor
On our troops"
Everything is quiet in the Tchernaya.
