Morning chronicle and commercial and shipping gazette
Sous un titre qui a varié (Morning Chronicle, Quebec Morning Chronicle, Quebec Chronicle), un journal de langue anglaise publié à Québec qui met notamment l'accent sur l'actualité commerciale et maritime. [...]
Fondé en 1847 par Robert Middleton et Charles Saint-Michel, ce journal est d'abord connu sous le nom de Morning Chronicle. Son programme éditorial est tourné vers les intérêts britanniques, ce qui plaît aux conservateurs et aux impérialistes. Toutefois, cela n'en fait pas une publication politique pour autant puisque l'on y évite les longs éditoriaux et les sujets polémiques, probablement pour se différencier du Quebec Gazette, ancien employeur de Middleton et féroce concurrent. Le contenu est plutôt centré sur l'actualité (majoritairement en provenance d'autres journaux anglais et américains), sur la vie commerciale et maritime, ainsi que sur la littérature (peu présente pendant les premières années). La ligne éditoriale du journal est définie comme suit : « [.] in the management of The Morning Chronicle we shall, therefore, begin by simply declaring, that, as we glory in our connexion with the British Empire, it will be our undeviating aim and unremitting endeavour, to create and foster a cordial attachment to those time-honoured institutions which have made her so illustrious in the annals of the world ». (May 18, 1847, p. 2)

[Traduction]
« [...] la direction de The Morning Chronicle, par conséquent, débute en déclarant simplement que, comme nous sommes très fiers de notre relation avec l'Empire Britannique, notre but sera sans détour de créer et d'entretenir un attachement aux honorables institutions britanniques, qui se sont grandement illustrées à travers l'histoire mondiale ». Sous Charles Saint-Michel (1849-1860), le journal devient le porte-parole des aspirations de la bourgeoisie commerciale anglaise et les sujets politiques prennent une part plus importante. L'esprit protectionniste, rattaché au torysme, teinte la rédaction. Durant la période de la Confédération, le Morning est utilisé comme tribune pour faire la promotion des idées de John A. Macdonald. Toutefois, l'attrait premier du journal reste avant tout la vie relative au commerce. En 1874, une fusion avec The Quebec Gazette met fin à une concurrence jugée ruineuse. Fondé en juin 1764, c'est l'un des plus vieux journaux d'Amérique du Nord. Une nouvelle entente survient en 1924. Pour mettre fin à une concurrence qui les affaiblit, le journal alors connu sous le nom de Quebec Chronicle and Quebec Gazette et le Quebec Daily Telegraph (fondé en 1875 par James Carrel, il défend les idées populaires et est reconnu comme étant libéral) s'associent et deviennent le Chronicle Telegraph. Les nouvelles prennent une place prépondérante dans les colonnes de la « nouvelle » publication. À partir de 1934, le journal est connu sous le nom The Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph. Il paraît toujours aujourd'hui. Voici les différents titres que le Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph a connus depuis ses débuts : Disponibles en ligne : The Morning Chronicle (Jan. 1847 - Nov. 1850) The Morning Chronicle and Commercial and Shipping, 1850-1888 The Morning Chronicle (Feb. 1888 - May 1888) The Quebec Morning Chronicle, 1888-1898 The Quebec Chronicle, 1898-1924 Non disponible en ligne : The Chronicle Telegraph (1925-1934) The Québec Chronicle-Telegraph (1934 à ce jour)

and I shall have, I^rv*anroni an' great as tho number is, to name to you those Fifth Divisions of the samo Corps are on their way thither.Bagtcheserai and Sim-pheropol, where the chief stores of the Russian armiesare both well fort died.But if Mar-ahal Pelissier succeeds in forcing these points, the Russian army is undone.Once deprived of these magazines, it must either retreat upon Perekop, or lav down its arms.In the last encounter the Russians are stated to have had sixteen generala and 19,000 men killed or wounded.A portion of the Allied Cavalry is said to have received orders to embark for Eupato-ria ; and the Russians, anticipating an attack, were axtehding their lines towards Bagtcheserai.A correspondent of the Paris Pat tie, under dale of Sept.\u201826th says; Sinoa ihë retreat,the Russians have continued to fire shells at us, ami it would bo a mistake to suppose that our artniee in Nebasto|K)l are IieyonU range of tho batteries on the northern shote, and on the Plateau.The hells from Fort Constantine reach beyond Stmlitzka Bay, and they can very easily throw their projectiles into the town.As to the batteries of the other forts, some of the guns are re powerful, that they can carry shot right over the town and do execution in the advanced siege works; but although the Russian fire does not cesse, it is not very active.The Artillery and Engineer* are every where at work.Fort St.Nicholas which was left almost intact, has been fortified, and its cannon already replies to the enemy.Any attempt ol the Russians to return lo'the place is wholly out of the question.\ti you who have distinguished themselves among so many valiant soldiers.I cannot yot do so, but I shall fulfil this duty in one of my next despatches.Deign to accept, Monsieur le Maréchal, tho expression of my respectful devotion.\u2014 The General in Chief.Prmssier.Head-Quarters, Sebastopol, Sept.14.M.le Maréchal,\u2014I have tho honor to address to your Excellency, as I promised in my despatch of the 11th, my report on the taking of Sebastopol by assault.The moment of this assault seemed to have arrived.On the left our engineers had some time before carried their works within from 30 to 40 metres of the Flagetaff and Central Bastions.On the right, our approaches, pushed forward very actively under the protection of the sustained artillery fire winch had l»een opened since the 17th, were only 2.5 metres distant from the salient of the Malakhoffnnd the Lesser Redan.The artillery had finished nearly 100 batteries, which were in a perfect state, completely provisioned, and haring in all 360 cannons in our left attacks and *ir>0in otlr right.¦\u2018\u2019The English on their side, although stopped by difficulties of the ground, had arrived at about two hundred metros from the Great Redan, and thev had about 200 guns ill their batteries.The Russians, improving the timo, raised on the Malakhoff side a second enremte, which it was important i*ot to allow them to finiah.Finally, the army of relief was notoro-______________ieva the Place and attiiak our poattioas, which we taxi rendered stronger ami in which we were prepared to repulse all tho efforts of the enemy.It was then agreed between General Simp-sou and myself that we should deliver a de-ciaive attack.The generals commanding the artillery and engineers of both armies were unanimously of opinion that this should be our next measure.The 8th of September was the day fixed for the purpose.As I have already had toe honour to point out to your Excellency, Üie proper coerae was to attack the enemy in the principal points of this vast enceinte, so that he might not be able to direct all his reserves against one single attack ; and to make him uneasy respecting the town, from which the bridge started whereby he was to retreat.On the left, General de Salles, with the 1st corps, reinforced by a Sardinian brigade, the assistance of which had been otiered to me by General de la Marmora, was to attack the town.In the centre the English were to seize the Great Redan; and, lastly, on our right, General Bosquet was to attack the Malakhotf and the Little Redan, the salient points of the enceinte of Karabelnaia.The following arrangements had been made for each of these attacks.On the left General Lavaillant\u2019s division (2nd of the 1st corps, Brigade Couston ; 9th Battalion ol the Chasseurs a Pied, Commander Rogié : 21*t of the line, Lieut-Colonel Villeret ; 42nd of tho line, Lieut-Colonel de Mallet.Brigade Trochu ; 46thoi the line, Lieut-Colonel La Banneur ; 80th of the line, Colonel Leterrade) which was charged with the duty of attacking the Central Bastion and its lunettes, was placed in the mostadranced parallel.On its right was the division of General d\u2019Autemar-re (Brigade Niol ; 5th battalion of Chasseurs a Pied, Commander Gamier; 19th of the line, Colonel Guinard ; 26th of the line, Colonel de Sorbiers.Brigade Breton ; 39th of the line, Colonel Comignan ; 74th of tho lino, Colonel Guvot de Lespart) which was to penetrato in the track of Leraillant\u2019s Division, and seize the gorge of the Flagstaff Bastion, and the batteries which had been raised there.Tho Sardinian Brigade of General Cialdini stationed at tho side of General d\u2019Autemarre\u2019s Division was to attack the right Hank of tho same bastion.Finally, General Bouat\u2019s Division (4th of the 1st corps.General Lefevre ; 10 Chasseurs a Pied, Commander Guiomard ; 18th of tho line.Colonel Danliii ; 79th ol the line, Colonel Grenier.2nd Brigade, General Roquette, 14th of the lino, Colonel dé Negrier ; 43rd of the line, Colonel Krouita) and General Pate\u2019s Division (3rd of the let corps.General Beu-ret\u2019s Brigade ; 6th Battalion of Chasseurs a Pied, Commander Fermier de la Prévotaiso ; \u201828th of the line, Colon»*! Lartigues ; 98th of the line, Colonel Conseil-Dumesnil.General Bazaine\u2019s Brigade, 1st Regiment ot tho Foreign Legion, Lieut-Colonel Martoriut *lo Chabneres) formed the reserve of Levuillanl\u2019s division.Besides these, and in order to be prepared on this side for any eventualities which might arise, I had ordered the 30th and 35th regiments of the line from Ka-miesch and placed them under the orders of General de dalles, who had posted them on the extreme left ; thus strongly securing the possession of our hues on this side.Before Karabelnaia, as 1 have already said, our attack was to be made in three directions\u2014at tho left or.the Malakhoff and its redoubt ; at tho right on the Lesser Redan ; and in the centre on the curtain which unites these two works.Evidently the Malakotf system of works was the most important point.Its capture must necessarily entail the ruin of the defences of the placo in succession, and I had added to the troops of General Bosquet all the infantry of the Imperial Guard.The left attack on the Malakhoff was con-tided to General M*Mahon (1st division of the 2nd corns), 1st brigade, Colonel Decaen ; 1st Zouaves, Colonel Colineau ; and 7th of the hue, Colonel Decaen ; 2nd brigade, Gen.Vinoy; 1st battalion of Chasseurs a Pied, Commandant Gambler ; 20th of the line, Colonial Onanne ; 27th of the line, Colonel Adam, who had in reserve the brigade Wim-plecn ; 3rd of Zouaves, Colonel Pollies ; 50th of the line, Lieut-Colonel JNicolas : and the Tiraillaura Algériens, Colonel Rose, detached from Camou\u2019s division, and the two battalions of the Zoaaves of the Guard, under Colonel Janinn.The attack on the right of the Redan confided to General Dulac (brigade Saint Pol) 17th Chasseurs a pied, «commandant de For- russac ; 57th of tho lino, Col.Dupuis; 85th, Colnel Javel ; 2nd Brigade, General Bisson; lOth of the line, Commandant do Lacontrie ; 61st of thcline.Colonel de Taxis, having in reserve the Brigade Marolles; 15th of th«* line, Colonel Guerin ; 96th of the lint, Colonel Malhorbo, of the division d\u2019Aurelles, an>l the battalions of Chasseurs n pied of ganl, Commandant Cornulierde Lucinioere.Finally, General de Molterouge (Brigade du General Bourbeki, 4th Chasseurs a pied, Commandant Clinchant ; 86th of the line Colonel de Berthier; 100th of the line, Colonel Mathieu ; 2nd Brigade, Colonel Picard ; 94th of the line, Colonel Kerguem) commanded the attack in the centre at the Curtain, having in reserve the Voltigeurs, Colonel Motera et Douay, and the Grenadiers of the Guard, Colonels Blanchard, and Dahon, under tho direct orders of General Millinet, having under him Brigadier Generals Ponte-vés and Do Failly.With reference to the situation of the troops our trenches have been divided into three portions, each of which was to contain in its advanced part nearly the whole of the attacking division ; and the reserves were to be placed some in the old trenches, which were well adapted to hold them, and others in tho Karabelnaia and Careenage ravines.It was of tho first importance, in order to deceive the enemy, that the assembling of all these troops should take place without observation, and for this purpose all the lines of communication leading to our advanced place d\u2019armes had been examined with great care, and wherever they permitted the enemy to see our men, the protecting crests were raised so as to give sufficient covering.\t\u2022 At tho left attacks as well as those of the right, detachments of engineers and of artillery, furnished with tools had been appointed to proceed at the head of each column of attack.The ianpers were to be ready with the auxiliaries of the advanced guard of each attack, to throw bridges in the use of which they had been exercised, and the materials for which had been placed forward in the first line.The gunners were to be furnished with hammers, and all kinds of tools proper to spike or unspike guns as the case might be, and to turn against the enemy those! which should be conquered.Moreover, in the first battalions of each attack, a certain number of men were to bo furnished with handy tools, such as they could carry in their waist belts, and fit to open passages, fill up ditches, to turn traverses, and, in a won! to accomplish those important works wbich require to be executed on the instant.Moreover, reserves of field artillery, had been prepared, so as to be able to comn up rapidly and tako part in the action.At the left attacks a field battery was to be placed in a quarry, near the \u201c enceinte,\u201d with its horses attached.Two other batteries of tho First Division, were to be held ready at tho Clocheton.Finally, a fourth battery was to be in waiting at the left extremity of the Lazaret.At the right attack a reserve of 2*1 field guns was to be placed, 12 in the old Lancaster battery and 12 at the Victoria redoubt.-Working parties were posted in points indicated, ready at the opportune moment to prepare tho way for the artillery.In order to bo ready for every event, the 1st Division of Aurelle\u2019s Brigade was posted »o as to be ablo with tho aid of tho batteries and redoubts existing in that direction to repulse any attempt which the enemy might make on the counterforte of Inkermann.On the side of our lines General Herbillon, ha«l onlers to occupy the poeitioit of the Tchernaya with his infantry, cavalry, and artillery, to act at a momenta notice.1 had besides ordered General Korton\u2019i Brigade of Cuirassiers to be near him.(îeneral do la Mormora had been previously informed of these arrangements.Gonerat «T\u2019Alonvillè had onlers to retire in th# night of the 7th from tho valloy of Baidar and take a position ot concentration near the bridge of Krentzen, which would be advantageous in case of any attempt made by tho army of relief.General ffirapson afcd I hod .by common cotisent fixed tho hour of attack at 12 o\u2019clock.make a desperate attempt to succour the place, it would have been impossible for it to make a vigorous movement against our lines before the end of the day.In any caae whatever the result of the attack we should have until tho morning to advise upon it.On the morning of the 8th the artillery of our left attacks, which from day break on tho 5lh had kept up u violent firexonunued to crush the enemy with its projectuea.At the right attack our batteries also fired rapidly, but kept up the system which they had adopted several day» before, in expectation oftnat which might take place.Towards eiuht o'clock the engineers threw upon the Central Bastion two mtnes of projection, each charged with a hundred kilogrammes of powder, at the same time they exploded before our approaches on the front of the Malakotf three mining chambers charged in all with 1500 kilogrammas of powder, in order to destroy the lower galleries of the Russian miners.As tho possession of the Mulakoff works must decide tho day, the other attaoks were subordinated to it, and it was agreed with General Simpson that tho English should not attack the Great Kedati outil 1 should have given a signal that we were sure of the Ma» lakoff.In the same way General De Salles was not to attack with his troops until a moment which I was to indicate to him by another signal.A little before noon all the troops were in readiness, ami in perfect order on the points indicated, and the other arrangements had been punctually executed.General do Salles was ready ; General Bosquet was at the light-irig-jK>st winch he had chosen in tho 6th parallel ; and I, with General Thiryof the Artil-ery, Niel of tho Engineers, and Martiinproy, the chief of mv staff, was at the Brancion redoubt, which 1 had chosen for my head-quarters.All our watches had been' regulated.Aj noon pjeci&ely all our batteries 0eased to thunder, iu order that they ini^hl be adjusted to a longer range, so as to reach tho reaerves ol the enemy.At tho word of their chiefs, the divisions of Generals M'Mahon, Dulac, and Do la Motterouge, left the trenches.The drums and the clarions l'est and souuded the charge, and to the cry of \u201c Vive l\u2019Empereur!\u201d a thousand times repeated along the whole lino, our intrepid soldiers precipitated themselves upon the enemy\u2019s defences.It wa.** a solemn moment.The lin-t brigade of M*Mahon\u2019s division, the 1st Regiment o Zouves loading, followed by tho 7th of the line, and having tho 4th Chasseurs a 1\u2019ied on its left, sprang to tho left face ami the salient ol the Malakofi work.The breadth and depth of the ditch, the height and steepness of Hie slope, rendered tfie ascent extremely difficult to our men ; but finally they gained the parapet, manned with Russians, who, in default of muskets, picked up whatever came to hand \u2014mattocks, stones, or rammers\u2014and used them as weapons.Then took place a hand to hand struggle\u2014one of those exciting combats in which notning but the intrepidity ol onr soldiers and their chiefs can give them tho victory.They immediately «prang into the work ; they drove back the Russians who continued to resist, and, in a few seconds afterwards, the flag of France was finally planted on the Malakofi.At tho right and centre, with that same impetuous dash which hail overthrown so many obstacles and forceil the enemy to fly.the divisions Dulac and de la Motterouge, led by their chiefs, had seized the Little Redan at the Careening Bay and also the Curtain, forcing their way even as far as the second enceinte that was being constructed Everywhere wo were in possession of the works attacked.But this first ami brilliant success had near cost us very dear.Struck by a large splinter from a bomb in his right side, General Bosquet was compelled to quit The field of battle.I confided the command to General Dulac, who was admirably seconc-ed by General do I.iniers, chief of tho staff of the 2nd corps.The engineers who accompanied the storming columns were already at work ; they fill ed up the ditches, opened passages, and threw across bridges.The second brigade of General M'Mahon advanced rapidly to reinforce the troops in tho Malakotf.I gave the signal agreed upon with General Simpson for the attack on the Great Redan, and short ly after for the attack on the town.1 lie English had 200 metres to cress under a terrible lire of grape.This space was soon strewed with dead ; nevertheless, this did not stop the march of the storming column which advanced toward** tho capital of the work.It descended into the ditch, which is nearly five metres deep, and despite all the efforts ot the Rtissi.ins, it scaled the escarpe, and carried the salient of tin* Krdan.There, after the first brunt ol the engagement, which cost the Russians dear, the English soldiers found in front of them only a vast oj'.en space, crossed by the hails of the enemy, who kept himself close behind some distant traverses I hose who came up hardly replaced those who had boen disabled.It was not until they had sustained for nearly two hours this unequal contest that the English decided on ev icuating the Redan.They did so with so firm an a»pcct that tho enemy did not dare follow.In the meantime,on the left, nt the appointed signal,lhe columns of Lovaillant\u2019adtvision, commanded by Generals Couston and Trochu, dashed headlong against tho lelt Hank of tho Central Bastion and the left lunette.In spite of a shower of balls and projectiles, and after a very sharp contest, the spirit and vigour of these brave troops triumphed nt first over the enemy's resistance, and, nolwith standing the accumulated difficulties in their front, they forced their way into the two works.But the enemy, having fallen back on his successive traverses, kept his ground everywhere.A murderous firn ol musketry wasopened from every ridge.Gunsuumask-ed for the first time and field-pieces brought up to several points, vomited grape and decimated our men.Generals Couston and Tro-ebu, who had just been wounded, wersoblig-ed to give up their command.Generals Ri vit and Breton were killed ; several mine chandlers, fired by the enemy, produced a moment of hesitation.At length an attack in their turn by numerous Russian columns compelled our troops to abandon the works they had carried, and to retire into our advanced tilacrs (Varme*.Our batteries on this part of the attacks, skilfully conducted by General Letxruf, aided so devotedly and intelligently, as on all occasions, by Rear Admiral Rigault do Gen-onally, changed tho direction of their firo while increasing its intensity,and compelled tho enemy to take sholter behind the parapets.General do Salles, causing d\u2019Autemarre\u2019s division to advance, was preparing during this time a second and formidable attack ; but as wo had secured the jxissessirn of the Malakolf, I sont word to him not to lot it advance.Our possession of this work, howevo*, was energetically disputed.By means of the batteries from the maison on croix, of the guns of his steamers, of field gun* brought to favorable points, ami of ihe batteries on the north side of the roadstead, the enemy «leliiged us with grape, and with projectiles of every kind, and committed great ravages in our ranks.The powder magazine of the Russian Postern Battery had just exploded, thereby increasing our loss, and causing tho eagle of tho 91st to disappear for a moment.A great many superior officers and othors were either wounded or killed.Fhe Oeuvrais de Saint Pol and do Marolles died gloriously, and Generals Mollinet, do 1\u2019outovea, and Bourbaki, had bœn wounded nt tho head of their troops.Throe times the division of Dulac and do la Motlorouge soiz.-od tho Redan arid the curtain, and three times they wore obliged to fall back before a terrible firo of artillery and tho «lenso masses arrayed in Dont of them.Nevertheless, the two field batteries of reserve from tho Lancaster battery descended at a trot, crossed the trenches, and boldly stationed themselves within half-range.They snreeeded in driving away the enemy\u2019s column* and the steamers.A part of these two divisions, supported in this froroic struggle by the troops of the Guard, who on this day covered them-solvos with glory, made good their footing in the enfiro left of the chrtain, from which the enemy eould not drive them.During the renewed combats of the right and the centre, the Russians redoubled their efforts to reconquer the Mnlakoff.This work, which is a soft of earthen citadel of 350 metres in length and 150 metres in width, armed with 62 guns of different calibre, crown* a mamelon which commands the whole interior of the Karabelnaia quarter, takes in reverse the Redan, which was attacked hy the English, is only 1,200 metres from the south harbor, ami threatens not merely the only anchorage now remaining for the ships, hut the only means Thus timing the first hour* of the strife of minor importance.The cnralry aantrias wars Uteefro emiie*, the Russians conatantly re- j*oetod »i 8-3*.At lIJKihs a-cood dlrtaloa and i*aw cyr m#m on tha top, and opansd flrs upon uuwed theu attempts ;

s, j j The detachments of the engineers and artillery, who during the combat were gallantly fighting or actively engaged in their spacial work, quickly set about carrying out tlm works that wereprasaingin the interior of the fort under the direction of their officers.According to my orders, Generals Thiry and Niel instructed Generals Benret and Froosard, commanding the artillery and engineers of the 2nd corps, to take all necessary steps for est&blishing onrsofres firmly in the Malakoff, and cn that part of the curtain which was in our power, so that we might* in case of need, resist a night attach of the enemy.and be in a position to drive him next day from the Little Redan of the Careening Bay, the Maison en Croix, and all this portion of fiis defences.These arrangements became, however, unnecessary.The enemy, hopeless of retaking the Malakoff, took an important resolution\u2014ho evacuated the town.Towards the close el the day I had a sus \u2022 picion of this, for I had seen long lines of troops and baggage defile along the bridge and reach the north bank, and the conflagrations which arose in every direction soon removed all doubt.I should have liked to push forward, gain the bridge, and cut off tho enemy\u2019s retreat ; but the besieged was at every moment blowing up one or other of his defences, his powder magazines, and his establishments.These explosions would have destroyed us in detail, an*l so they rendered the idoa impracticable.We remained in position until the day should arise ujtou this scene of desolation.The sun in rising lighted up this work of destruction, which was very much greater than wo had been ablo to imagine.The last Russian vessels anchored the evening before in the roadstead were sunken ; tho bridge was disconnected ; the enemy had only reserved his steamers, which carried off the last fugitives and some infatuated Russians who were still walking amongst tho fires in this unhappy city.But presently these men, as well as the steamers, were driven to seek refuge in the indentations of tho bank north of tho roadstead.Thus terminated this memorable siege, during which tho army of relief has been twice defeated in order of battle, and the offensive and defensive means of which have attained to colossal proportions.The besieging army had, at its various attacks 800 guns in battery, which have fired more than 8,-600,000 times, and our approaches excavated in tho course of 336 days, in rocky ground and presenting an extent of more than 90 kilometres (20 leagues), hare been executed under the constant lire of the place, and dis turbed by incessant combats day and night.Tho day of Sept.8, on which the allied armies proved themselves superior to an army almost equal in number, not invested, entrenched behind formidable defences, provided with more than 1100 guns, proteced by the guns uf the fleet, and of the batteries north of the roadstead, and still disposing of immense resources, will remain an example of what may be expected from an army, brave, disciplined and inured to war.Our losses on this day were five generals killed, four wounded and six contused, 24 superior officers, 20 wounded, and two missing ; 116 subaltern officers killed, 224 wounded, eight mis^fhg , 1489 sous-officers and soldiers killed, 4,259 wounded, and 1,400 missing \u2014total 7,551.As you see, Monsieur le Maréchal, these losses are numerous ; many of them are deeply to be regretted, but yet they are less than I had reason to fear.Every one, Monsieur lo Maréchal, from the general to tho soldier has\u2019udnriously douo his (liny, and the arn.y, of wtiich the Em-j>eror may be proud, has deserved well of the country.I shall have many rewards to claim, and many names to make known to your excellency.That will be a task that would be out ol\" place here.It had been arrange*! that the fleets of Admirals Lyons and Braut should come and bring their broadsides to bear at the entrance of the Sebastopol roadstead, so as to effect a powerful diversion.But it blew a heavy gale trom the north-oast, which, while it annoyed us very much on land, rendered tho sea exceedingly rough, and prevented the ships from leaving their moorings.The English and French bomb-ketches were,nevertheless, able to act, and they fired most successfully into the roadstead, the town, and the various maritime forts.As at all times, the sailors who had landed and the shipgunners, were the worthy rivals of the land artillery, and distinguished themselves by the vigour and precision of their fire.The English army conducted itscll with its habitual intrepidity.It prepared a second attack, which, doubtlesé, would have triumphed over tho unexpected obstacles which had met their first ; but the possession of the Malakhoff properly led to tho countermanding of this second attack.The Sardinian Brigade of General Cialdini, which General do la Marmora had placed at my disposition to reinforce the first corps, boro the terrible fire which cut up our trenches with the firmness of veteran troops.Tho I\u2019iodemontcse burned with desire to come to blows with the enemy ; but the attack on the Flagstaff Bastion having being postponed, it was impossible to satisfy the ardour of these brave troops.As at all times, our wounded, and even those of the onemy,have been the objects of most zealous, intelligent, and complete care.We owe to tho good organization of all our hospital services, and to tho devotednoss of those to whom they are committed, the satisfaction of being able to save a great number of tho wounded.1 cannot terminate this rsnort without bringing to the knowledge of your Excellency how much upon this occasion, as upon all othors, I have had to praiso the conduct of Major General Hugh Rose and Lieutenant George Foley, Commissioners of her Britannic Majesty to the Commander-in-Chief of the French army, in the numerous communications which I have had during the action with General James «Simpson, the Comman-der-in-Chief.\u2014Accept, &c.\t1\u2019kmssier.LanstnuMe a* it no doubt Is, sad laereilble almost to those «bo koow bow tbe British soldier geuorsfif behavos before the enemy, tbe Tho hour chosert was in many respects advantageous.(t gave us a\tHHPI 'Middettly surprising the enoZnÿ, lufd CitMn tho of yetrent open to tho Rnwiaus, namely, the Russian anny of reuef had Weu wchned to bridge thrown across the roadstead from on»» bunk to the other.THE DETAILS.(Fromtht Special Corretponienl 'if the Times.)

the «ky wa* of a leaden wintry grey.Ksrly in the morning a strong force of cavalry, under the command of Colonel Hodge, was moved up to the front and formed a chain of sentries in front of Caihcart\u2019s Hill and all Along our lines.No person was allowed to pass this line, unies* he was a staff officer or was provided with n pass.Another line of sentrie* in the rear of (hem was intended to stop «trsgglers and idlers from lialak-Iava, and the object in view was prohahly lo prevent the Russian* gathering any intimation of Our Attack from the unutuftl accumulation of fwopln on th* look out hills.At !1.30the Highland Brigade, nnder Brigadier General Cameron, from KamAra took up its position in reserve at tbe right attack, and tho Guards, also in reserve, were posted on the same side of the Woronaoff The first brigade of the fourth division Served the trenches of the left attaok th* night before, and remained in them, The.second brigade of the fourth division was in resorvs.Tho Guards, who served the trenches on the left attack, and only marched ont that morning, were turned out agaiu after arriving In their oamp.The iliird dlfiftfott.massed on the hill side before their camp, were also in reserve, in readiness to move down by tbs left attack, in cose their services were required.General Pelissier during Hit night collected about 30,000 men about tbe Mamelon to form the storm* ng columns forth* MAtakefT and LiUM Redan and to provide th* necessary reserves.Tbe French were reinforced by 5,000 Sardinian*, who marched up from the Tchernaya last night.It was arranged that th* Freuoh were to attack tire Malakoff at noon, and aa soon as their attack togas, that we were to assault the Redan.A t tho *amo time a strong oolman of French was, f an derstand, to make a diversion on she left, an it menace the Ha* of tbe Bestkm du Mat, hut I do not helievejlt was intended to operate seriously against this part of the town, the puesMutoO of which, in a military point of view, would be of teivitaesr the assault, and was borne to tbe pa rallcl oo a litter, in which he remained till all was over.It was, as I have said, a bitter cold day.and a stranger would have been astonished at the aspect of the British generala as they viewed the assaol I.The Cotnuandec lo Chief, Gen.Siiupsgn, aat in tbe traaob, with bis go** U'1* **ycs Ju*t fecfgg th* cold aoA dust, utul his cloak drawn up over hi* head to protect him against both.(îeneral Jones wore a red night cap, and reclined on bis litter: and Sir Richard Ai rev, tbe the Quarter Matter General, had a while packet handkerchief tied over hi* cap and ears, which detracted «ooiewhat from a martial and belligerent aspect.The Duke of Newcastle was stationed at Cathcart\u2019a bill in the early part of the day, and afterwards moved off to the right to the picket houae, over the Wurontoff Road.All the amateur* sad gentlemen, who rather abound here juat now, were iu a state of great excitement, and dotted the plain in eccentric attire, which recalled one\u2019s old memories of Cowes, and yachting and lea-bathing,-were engaged in a scries of subtle manenuvrea to turn the lank of unwary sentries, and to get to tbe front, sud lLoir success was moat creditable to their antei prise and ingenuity.The Tartars, Turk*, and Kupatorisns were singularly perturbed for auch placid people, and thronged every knoll which commanded the ¦mallcst view of the place.At 10-45 GeneralPellssler and his staff went up to tbe French observatory on tbe right.Th* French trenches were crowded with men aa cloae as they could pack, and we could see our men through the breaks in the clouds of dust, which were most irritating, all ready in tbeir trenches.Tbe cannonade languished purposely toward* noou ; but the Russians catching sight of the cavalry and vroops in front, began to shell Catb-cari's hill and the heights, and disturbed tbe equanimity of some of the spectators by their shells bursting with loud 11 thuds\u2019\u2019 right over their heads.A few minutes before 13 o'clock the French, like a swarm of bees, issued forth from their trenches close to the doomed Malakoff, swarmed up its face, and were through the embrasures in the twinkling of an eye.They crossed the seven metres of ground which separated them from the enemy at a few bounds\u2014they drifted as lightly and quickly as autumn leaves before tho wind, battalion after battalion, into the embrasures, and, in a miaule or two, after the headoflbcir «pluma issued from the ditch, the tri-colour was floating over the Korniloff Bastion.The musketry was very feeble at first, indeed, our allies took the Russians quits by surprise, and very few of the latter wore in the Malakoff ; but tbey soon recovered tbeouolves.and from twelve o\u2019clock till past seven in the evening, the French bad to meet and defeat the repeated attempts of the enemy to regain the work and the little Redan, when, weary of the fearful slaughter of bis men, who lay iu thousands over th* exterior of ibo works, the Muscovite general, despairing of success, withdrew his exhausted legions, and prepared, with admirable skill, lo evacuate the place.Of Ihe French attack or.the left 1 know nothing, but that, if intended iu earueat, it was not successful, and was followed by some loss to onr allies.As soon as the tricolour was observed waving over the parapet of the Malakoff through the smoke aud dust, four rockets were sent up from Cbapmau'a attack one after auotiier, signal for our assault on the Redan.They were almost borne back bv the violence of the wind, and tbe silvery juts of sparks they threw out, on exploding, were nearly invisible against the raw grey sky.At present I bave no time to describe the Redan, nor the appearance of Sebastopol, now that one can walk through ita tlaming streets.In order to give aa idoa of the plan of the attack, I send you a copy of the \" divisional after order,\u201d in accordance with which it wa* arranged, and for the take of comparison there is appended to it a eopy of tbe essence of the orders issued for the attack of the Irtth of June.It will be seen thaï the difference between the two plans relate lo details, and not to principle.When the order was received on the 7th, tbe general remark was\u2014\" This looks like another 18tb of June.\u2019\u2019 In fact, tbu mucking columns were not strong unnugh, the supports were not strong enough, and were also too far behind, and the trenches did not afford room for a sufficient number of men.Now, it will be observed that, where we attacked the Redan witb| two divisions only, a portion of each being virtually In reserve, and not engaged in the affair at all, the French made their assault on the .Malakoff with four divisions of the second corps d'armée, the first and fourth divisions forming the storming columns, and the third and fifth being the support, with reserves of 10,000 men.The French bad probably not less than 30,000 men in the right attack on the 7tb of September.Tbe divisional orders for the Second Division were very much the same as those for tbe Light Division.Tbe covering party consisted of 100 men of tbe 3rd Huffs, under Captain John Lewes, who highly distinguished himself, and 100 men of the 2nd battalion of the Rifle Brigade,! I believe under tbe command f Hammond.Tho scaling-ladder of 160 of the 3rd Buffi, under whose gallantry was very conspicu tho affair, in addition to the 160 the gallant and lamented Weltfo the force of tbe Second Division of the 3rd Buffs, 300 of the 41 si (Welsh), 200 of the G2nd, and a working party of 100 men of the 41st.The rest of Windham s Brigade, consisting of tho 47ib aud 40ih, were in reserve, together with Warren\u2019s brigade of the eatue division, of which the 30th ami 55lh were called into Action, and suffered severely.Brigadier Shirley was on board ship, but a* soon as he hoard of the assault he resolved to join his brigade,and be accordinlgy came up to the camp that very morning.Col.Unett, of the 19th Regiment, waa the senior officer in Brigadier Sbuley\u2019s absence, and on him would have devolved the duty of leading the storming column of tho light division, had the latter not returned.Colonel Unett, igaoraut of Uio brigadier\u2019s intention to leave shipboard, had to decide with Colonel Windham, who should .take precedence in the attack.They tofskd, and Colonel Uueit won.He had it in his power to say whether he would go first or follow Col.Windham.He looked at the shilling, turned it over, and aaid, \u201c My eheice is made ; I\u2019ll be the first man into the Redan.\u201d But fate willed it otherwise, aud be whs struck down badly wounded ere vet he reached tho abaitis although he was not leau.ng the column.Scarcely bad the men left tue fifth parallel when the guns on the flank of the Redan opened on them as they moved up rapidly lo the salient, in which there were of course no cannon, os the nature of such a work does not permit of tholr being placed in that particular position.In a few seconds Brigadier Shirley was temporarily blinded by the dust and by earth knocked into his cyca by a shot.He was obliged to retire, and his place was taken by Lieutenant-colonel Bunbnry, of the 23rd Regiment, who was next in rank to Colonel Unett, already struck down and carried to the rear.Brigadier Van 3traubenr.ee received a contusiun on the face, and was also forced to leave the field.Colonel Handcock fell mortally wounded in the head by a bullet, aud never spoke again.Captain Hammond fell dead.Major Welsford was killed on tho spot.Captain Grove waa soveroly wounded.Many officers and roan were bit and fell ; and of the commanders of of parties, only Acting Brigadier-general Windham, Captain Fycrs, Captain Lewes, aud Captain Maude got, untounched, into tho Redan, and escaped scatheless from tbe volleys of grape and rifle balls which swept tbe flanks of tbe work towards the salient.It was n few minutes after twelve when onr men left the fifth parallel.The musketry commenced at once, and In less than firo miaules, during which the troops had to pass over about thirty yards from the nearest approach to the parapet of the Redan, thev had lost a larga proportion of their officers, and were deprived of the a\u2019d of tbeir leaders, with the exceptions r>or Captain y consisted ain Maude, throughout 97th, under The part of is led of 260 ^\t\u2018b* officers, armed only ttotr aword*.had 1ml# chance; \u201eor hJ ,7 h who ceirud pistols much opportunity m'0\"* ttoai »a such a rapid contest.\u2018Hiey f,u bL-T* tree.»nd many a gallant soldi»/ with ^hiÜ* The bixfica of English and Ktusisns locked jn J' embrace which death could not relax but h !

and the l\tk'111*\ton the proper left of the M«lakoff, was raging furiously.Clouda of smoke and dual covered ito scene, but the rattle of musketry wss incessant, and betokened the severe nature of the struggle below.Through the breaks in the amok* (tore c*«M be *e»n now and then a tricolour, surmounted by an eagle fluttering bravely over the inner parapet of the Malakoff.The storm of bat\u2019le rolled fiercely round it, and beat aga'nat it ; but it wa* sustained by strong arms and atout hearts, and all the assaults of the enemy were directed ra vain against it» We could see.too.onr noble allies \u2022 warming over into the Malakoff from their \u2022plendid approaches to it from the Mamdon, or rushing with swift steps towards the right, where the Russians, continually teinfoired \u2022ought in vain lo beat back their fo*§ and to re- Sin the key of iheir position.Tbe struggle w*s II of interest to ua all, but ita issue was never doubled.It would to untrne to aty that the re-ault ofour assanlt waa not the source of detn grief and mortification to ue, which oil the glo» rioua success.-* of our allie* could not wholly al-leviate.Even tbos* who thought any attack on the Redan urelere and unwise, inasmuch a« tbe possession of ihe Malakoff would, m their opinion, render the Rcdau untenable, could not but regret bitterly that, aa we had given tbe assault, we had not achieved a decisive triumph, and that ao much blood bad been, if 0ni V glorjoualy, at least fruitlessly, poured tortb, » he French, indeed, have been generooe enough to say that oar troops behaved with great bravery, and that they wondered how we kept tbe Redan so long under auch a tremrrdoua fire, but British eoldiera are rather accustomed to the-nil admirart under such circumstances and praise like that gives pain as well as pleasure.Manr soldiera, of th* opinion to which 1 have all tub d think that w* should at once have renewed ih« attempt once made, and it is but small coaso'a-tion to know that General Simpson intend'd to attack the Redan the following morning, nus-much a* the Russians anticipated our probable success, and by retreat deprived us of the chanca of retrieving our reputation, and at the s»mr time acknowledged, by their desperate withdrawal,the completeness of the success achieved by our allie*.Our attack lasted about an honr and three-qaartera, aa well as I could make out, and in that lime wa loat more than at Inkermann, where the fighting lasted for seven hours.At 1 46 p m.which waa about the time we retired, there waa an explosion either of a tumbril or of a fougasse between the Mamelon and the Malakoff, to tho right, which seemed to blow up several Frenchmen, and ;aoon afterwards the artillery of the Imperial Guard swept across from tbe rear towards the Little Redan, and gave us an indication that onr allios had gained a position from which thev could operate against the enemy with tbeir field pieces.From the opening of the attack the French batteries over Careening Bar had not ceased to thunder against the Russian fleet, which lay ailrntly at anchor below, and there was a lively cannonade between them and the Inkermann batterie* till late in tho evening which waa interrupted now and tlien by tho intervention of the Redoubt Victoria, the English Redoubt, and the 1st* Srlinghinsk and Volhynla Redoubts, wbich engaged the Russian batteries over the last end of tbe harbour.At one o'clock wounded men began to crawl up from the batterie* to the oamp ; they could tell ua little or nothing.\" Were we in the Redan ?\u201d \u201d Oh, je* : hot « lot of them was killed, and the Rusaiana were mighty atrong.\u201d «ome were cheery, olhera desponding ; all eeemed proud of their wound* Helf-an-hour more, and tho number of wounded increased : they came up hy twoa and threea, and what I had observed before aa a bad sign\u2014the number of etragglera accompanying them, nnder the pretence of rendering assistance, became greater also.Then the ambulances and tho oaooleta (or mule Huera), camo In sight along tho Worxonzoff-road filled with wounded.Every ten minutes added to their numbers, and we eould see that every effort was made to hurry them down to the front ns soon as they were ready for a fresh load.The litter bearers now added to the length of the melancholy train.We hoard that tbe temporary hospitals In front were fall, and that the surgeons wore beginning to gel anxious about accommodation for the wounded.It may here to observed, that oo tho ocaiion of the 18lh of Jane, most of these tempo-rare hospitals, which «re intended to afford immediate eld in cases requiring operations on the set, wsro under fire, and a shell burst in the very tent in which Dr.Paynt* and his assie-lants were operating the ground around it being continually torn up by round shot.On this or casinn more oara was taken in determining tho sitae of the tenta.Anotlier bad sign was that the enemy uaver ceased throwing np shell to the front, many of which burst high In the air over our heads, while tbe pieces flew with a moef un->leaaant whir around us.These shells were mended for our reserves ; and, although the fbaea did not burn long enough fqr such a range, and they all burst at a considerable elsvation, they caused tome little Injure and annoyance to th# troops in the rear, and hit some of our men.Th# rapidly-increasing numbers of wonnd-\u2022d men, some of whom had loft their arms behind them, give rise toeuspicion of the truth;
