bailie. 20 TIIK I5ATTLK OF INKKKMAN. CHAF. I'ly iilso, that night, within the lines of the ^^' fortress. The column of General Tauloff was beyond the Tchernaya encamped on the Old City Heights ; and there too, though not yet command- ing, General Daunenberg was present in person.* With a corps, which included the troops com- manded before by Liprandi, Prince Gortschakoff was in the plain of Balaclava, and had his head- quarters at Tchorgoun. The enemy's So lay all these forces at midnight; Imt two froiirof hours later, a movement of troops would begin ; and at daybreak, the liussian army was to be in its ordained line of battle. On the extreme left of this line, Prince Gortscha- koff's corps — a force numbering about 22,000 in horse, foot, and artillery, with no less than 88 guns -j- — was to be facing towards the west, upon a front which, beginning at a point nearly mid- way between Kadikoi and Kamara, and cross-
- The Old City Heights (called by Russians the lukernian
Heights) are on the south-west of the JIackciizie farm, and overhang the ruins of Inkerraan. t This force was for the most part, though not exactly, the same as that conimanded by Liprandi at the battle of Balaclava. See ' Invasion of the Crimea,' vol. v. of the Cabinet Jldition. General Todleben ('Defense de Sebastopol,' [). 449) considers that the strength of Prince Gortschakoff 's cavaliy and infantry (which had been 22,444 when ascertained by the last 'State') must have been reduced by the 5th of November to little more than 20,000 ; but, whether that large and apjiarently arbitrary deduction were admitted or not, there at all events would have to be added the artillerymen serving no less than 88 guns, and therefore the number stated in the text would appear to be fully warranted.
