since their retreat the Russians have con-
tinued to FIRE shells at us, and it would be
a mistake 10 suppose that our army in Sc
vastopol is beyond the range of the enemy's
batteries of the North side and on the pla-
teau. The balls from Fort Constantine
reached beyond SaraklaTey bay. They can
easily throw them into the town from the
batteries of the other forts. Some of the
guns in them are so placed, that they car
Ty shot right over the town and on the ad-
vancet siege works But although the Rus
sian fire docs not cease, it is not very active.
The artillery in Serastopol are every
where at work. Fort ST. Nicholas which
was left almost intact has been fortified and
its cannon already reaches to the enemy.

the place is wholly out Of the question.

tend the Crimean operations.
