SATURDAY, AUGUST 2 6, 1854. 
NEWS OF THE WEEK. 
The first blow has fallen on the assailant of national rights, 
and the English aud French flags float over Bomarsund. 
Full details of this important capture will be found in 
another portion of our columns ; but, told in the briefest way, 
the narrative is this. The toAvn of Bomarsund was burned 
by the Russians some weeks back, lest it should afford 
shelter to the besiegers. There were, therefore, left only the 
four forts, mounting in all about 150 guns. On the 7th of 
this month, the disembarkation of troops Avas efifeoted, 
and up to Sunday, the 13th, batteries Avere being pre- 
pared and other arrangements made for the attack, some 
firing taking place on both sides. On the 10th the 
Penelope got ashore, but Avas saved by her guns being 
thrown overboard. On the 13th, the bombardment 
began in earnest, aud by four o'clock on that day a flag of 
truce Avas hung out. Two hours Avere asked, in order to 
bury the Russian dead. One was accorded, and avos used by 
the Russians to obtain reinforcements and ammunition. At 
eight in the eA’ening another truce Avas asked, but refused, 
on the ground that, after what had occurred, the enemy 
deserved no consideration. Tho bombardment continued all 
night, and at half- past five in the morning the French 
stormed the western fort. On the 15th, the eastern tower 
was attacked by the English batteries, and this being 
the day of the fete Napoleon, a royal salute Avas fired, 
the honours being paid with shotted guns. At six 
the fort surrendered to the English marines and sailors. 
On the 16th the " long fort” was battered and the smaller 
one also; and at hnlf-paBt twelve on that day, tho aged 
governor, General Bodisco, surrendered, and about 2,000 
men were made prisoners. General Baraguay d’Hilliet -8 
returned the old man his sword, with a compliment to tbo 
valour which had defended the place. The united loss of 
the French and English is something over 100. The cap- 
ture was brilliantly performed, the allies working together 
in a spirit of honourable and cordial emulation ; and the 
value of the conquest is great, inasmuch as it affords France 
and England a pied « terre for the rest of the Baltic cam*
