THE Restoration of PEACE and TRANQUILLITY to the QUEEN'S DOMINIONS in INDIA makes it the grateful Duty of the Viceroy and Governor General in Council to direct that a Day be appointed for a solemn THANKSGIVING to ALMIGHTY GOD for His signal Mercies and Protection .

War is at an end ; Rebellion is put down ; the Noise of Arms is no longer heard where the Enemies of, the State have persisted in their last Struggle ; the Presence of large Forces in the Field has ceased to be necessary ; Order is re-established ; and peaceful Pursuits have everywhere been resumed .

The Viceroy and Governor General in Council desires that THURSDAY the 28th of July be observed as a DAY OF GENERAL THANKSGIVING for these great Blessings , and as a Holiday, throughout BRITISH INDIA, by all Faithful Sub- jects of the QUEEN.

Especially His Excellency in Council invites all Her Majesty's Christian Sub- jects to join in a humble Offering of Gratitude and Praise to ALMIGHTY GOD for the many Mercies vouchsafed to them .

The Bishop of Calcutta will be requested to prepare a FORM of PRAYER, to be used on the Day above-mentioned by the Congregations under His Lordship' spiritual Authority.

By Order of the Governor- General in Council,

W. GREY , Secretary to the Government of India.

8th. If a Packet be not sufficiently pre -paid with Stamps but nevertheless bear Stamps equal to a single Book - rate, it will be forwarded charged with the deficient Book - Postage together with an addi- tional Book -rate; but any Packet which shall not bear Postage Stamps equal to a single Book - rate will be detained and charged with the Letter Postage .

9th.No Book -Packet weighing more than three lbs can be sent to or from the East Indies or to New South Wales .

10th. The Colonial Book - Post extends to those Colonies only which are so marked in the Table of Colonial and Foreign Postage.

11th. In no case can a Book - Packet be sent to the Colonies (except at the letter rate of Postage,) through a Foreign Country .

SPECIAL Notice is directed to the subjoined Clauses of Rules , the want of attention to which has occasioned the Post Office much inconvenience .

2nd. A separate instruction will be required for every change of address , and no instruction will be attended to for more than three months after its receipt.

Srd . Under Section XXIII. , of Act XVII. of 1854 , Forward Postage will be charged in addition to all other Postage due or paid thereon upon every letter without exception , which may be re -directed inany Post Office. For example, if a letter posted in Calcutta and addressed to Hooghly is, under instructions which may have been received from the addressee, re- directed in the Calcutta Post Office and sent to Barrackpore, Forward Postage will be charged in addition to the Postage which would have been due, had the letter been despatched to Hooghly according to its original address .

4th. The practice of giving instructions to the Officers of the Post Office to intercept and re - direct letters, not only imposes much labor upon them, but in large Offices seriously retards the delivery and despatch of the Mails . A register of instructions regarding changes of address will be kept in every Post Office, but it must be understood , that it is impossible to guarantee that they shallbe aftended to, except in the case of letters received for delivery.

THERE is only one delivery of letters at the General Post Office on Sundays, and Banghy Parcels are neither received nor despatched on that day.

LETTERS and Newspapers despatched to and from the United Kingdom by private Vessels are liable to the following rates of Postage which must be pre -paid by Stamps :-

Rs . As . Pie. 040 Letters not exceeding oz . in weight

080 Ditto exceeding oz . but not exceeding 1 oz .

And so on adding 8 annas for each oz . or fraction thereof which includes Inland Postage .

Newspapers not exceeding 4 oz . in weight, ld. or 9 pie must be pre - paid in cash, and no Inland Parcels conveyedby the above opportunity for the UnitedKingdom are liable to Letter rates of Postage . Postage is required upon such papers .

Notice.

n Council further directs that unpaid or insufficiently paid letters addressed to any partment and not superscribed " on the Public Service only be refused , or if opened isk and cost of the opener."

THE following Extract of an Order of the Government of India, No. 884 , of the 13th July 1855 . "No Public Officer is authorized to send Covers on the Public Service by Post, without payment of Postage, unless he is at the time on active duty and in charge of the Office by virtue of which the privilege is enjoyed.

ALL Banghy Parcels being registered before despatch it is needless to have a Banghy Parcel specially registered by payment of the Fee of 4 annas as no additional precaution can be taken of a specially Registered ParcParcel which is not taken in the case of every ordinary Banghy Parcel .

UNDER the orders of Government, no fourth delivery of letters by the Post Office is allowed . Mails which are received by Steamers from Suez at so late an hour in the day as not to admit of the letters being taken out for delivery by 6 r. M. are detained till the following morning , but parties who have registered their names under the usual fee, are entitled to receive their letters and Marseilles News . papers so soon as the Mails are sorted, and which is generally about 24 hours after receipt of the Mail , at the Post Office .

THE Exemption allowed to Officers with the Army from the charge of Forward Postage on re -directed letters has been continued by the Governor - General " until further orders . "

Forward Newspapers . Extra or Forward Postage is chargeable on every Newspaper re - directed at the Post Office of original address and forwarded to another Post Office .

MAILS for Akyab , Rangoon, and Moulmein are made up on the 3rd and 19th of each month, for transmissionby the Contract Steamers or by Government Vessels , which sail on the morning of the 4th and 20th, unless the Contractors choose to postpone the departure for 48 hours , of which they have the power on making a requisition.

" 3. InIncommunicating thethe decision to which after consideration in Council , I have come, with respect to these proposals , it is scarcely necessary to remark that nothing but urgent Financial considerations would have led the Home Authorities, in their . Despatch of 22nd June 1858, to impose any general restriction on the progressive, development of those measures for the extension of Education throughout India, which had been brought into operation under their instructions . Those considerations , as you are well aware, exist in still greater force at the present time, than at the date of the orders re- ferred to; and they compel Her Majesty's Government to limit their sanction of any new expenditure to cases, if not of absolute necessity, at least of very exceptional interest and impor- tance."

As however the amount is so small , and as so large a part of the year has expired, for which the grant was made, it is not necessary Low to interfere with it."

Lieutenant A, H. Millett , Commandant of the 2nd Jezailchees , has obtained one month's leave of absence, from the 22nd ultimo, to enable him to proceed to Calcutta, preparatory to applying for Furlough to England.

"5. The case of the Mission School at Nynce Tal rests on special and peculiar grounds; and as it appears that the Managers had entered into engagenients in dependence on aid from Go- vernment , in accordance with the established Rules, Her Majesty's Government are constrained to sanction the proposed grants."

No. 4132 .

"3. The other proposals which you have sub- initted, however desirable for the most part, the objects to which they relate are not such as Her Majesty's Government can sanction, under the existing Financial pressure ; and the consideration of them must accordinglybe reserved for a future occasion."

I have, &c.,

His Excellency the Governor General in Coun- cil is pleased to accept the resignation, by Lieu- tenant 4. H. Millett, of the 69th Regiment Na- tive Infantry, of his appointment as Commandant, 2nd Regiment Jezailchees, and to place his ser. vices at the disposal of the Military Department .

rejected his intelligence , but I decided on remaining at the village to make further inquiries. 4. I had directed the men to carry one day's No. 990 of 1850.- [His Excellency the Go- vernor General in Council is pleased to direct the publication of the following repoollowing report from Brigadier Showers , C. B., Commanding Agra and Muttra Districts, of his operations against the Rebels at Patun.

His Excellency in Council desires to record his approval of the manner in which these operations were directed , and regrets that the miscarriage of the documents should have delayel their publica- tion.

cooked provisions in their haversacks ; and had planned, if I should find the Rebels at Patun , to drive them on to my Columns at Gurhpara and Billakhera , and expected to rest at night at the latter place. Ihad therefore neither tonts nor cooking things with me, and the Rebels who were really at Muthanuh, thinking from the absence of an encampment, my forco was a party of the Gwalior Troops , assembled on one of the hills to attack us .

No. 533 .

5. The men were well dressed , and thay came down in skirmishing order with so much regularity that I was at first doubtful whether they did not belong to another British force who had mistaken us for Rebels .

When I was satisfied they were Rebels, I direct- ed a party under Brevet Major Nixon, of the Rifle Brigade, Camel Corps , to proceed through a gorge in the hills, and then to advance up and attack them . At the same time a party of the 4th Sikh Cavalry under Lieutenant Fane, Commanding that Corps , was ordered to proceed round the Hill to take the Rebels in rear, after the party under Major Nixon should have driven them back.

7. As it was possible the Rebels' skirmishers might have been supported by a strong force behind the Hill, I directed Lieutenant- Colonel Ross, of the Rifle Brigade, Commanding the Camel Corps, to proceed with the remainder of his men in support of Major Nixon , while I went with the rest of the Cavalry up the brow of the Hill to the left , in the hopo of coming up with a party of the Rebels who had disappeared in that direction. Major Nixon , however , with his Riflemen and Sikhs did his work so rapidly , that nothing was left for the supports to do . On my reach- ing the top of the IIill not a Rebel was in sight . They had disappeared among the thick jungle , and left no trace by which I could judge of the direction they had taken. I was therefore obliged to give up the pursuit and wait for further information .

SIR,

WHEN halted at Goonah , waiting the final instructions of Brigadier- General Sir Robert Napier, K C. B. , regarding my return to Agra , I have the honor to report, for the information of the Right Hon'ble the Commander - in- Chief, that I received re- Hable information that a party of Rebels , under Feroze Shah and three local Chiefs , were in the village of Patun about 50 miles distant.

8. 1 beg to enclose copies of the Reports of Major Nixon, Camel Corps , and Lieutenant Fane, Command- ing 4 ing 4th Sikh Cavalry ; and I have to commend the activity and perseverance with which the attack was made , and the pursuit kopt up by these Officers , and the Officers and Men under their Command . I have also to bring to the notice of the Right Hon'ble the Commander- in- Chief the alacrity and steadiness with which all my little force moved forward in the hope of coming up with the Rebels .

Ihave, &c. , (Signed) Sr. G. ID . SHOWERS , Brigadier, Comdg. Agra and Muttra Districts .

2. I moved off with my Force at 4 P. M. the samo evening, and reached Kuchnar Serace, thirty miles off, the next morning. During the afternoon the in- telligence 1 had previously received of the position of the Rebols was confitmod. I divided my Forco into three Columns .

By this time Captain Nixon , with the Ritles , had crowned the heights on my left , driving their skirmishers across the valley below, and the Horsemen of the party were seen going off at a gallop on tlus opposite side of a deep Yullah .

One man belonging to the village informed me they had gono to Muthanuh , threo milos distant, and situated deeper in the jungles . As the inhabitants of Patun were known to be in favor of the Rebels, I [ 1646 ]

through the jungle by which they could be pursued, I returned with the skirmishers to Camp . The sup- ports coming in half an hour afterwards .

I followed immediately, but on account of the dense jungle only succeeded in capturing five or six Ponies , and seven Camp Followers , (one of whom was said to be a Sepoy . ) The main body I afterwards heard had broken into two parties , the mounted men flying along the foot of the Hills , and the Footmen up the ravine to the left .

The whole country was a mass of heavy jungle, but Kote Duffadar Hurree Singh , whom I had detached (with four Sowars to beat up a ravine , came across two of the fugitives , sabred one and shot the other. As one of the captured Camp Followers reported to me that the Rebels had encamped the night before at a village called Muthame , I went there and found traces of their having been there very recently . In fact from the marks I should say they left only to attack us at Patun .

They returned this without any damage to us , and those directly opposite to our skir- mishers retired quickly over the brow of the Hill, those to my left escaping by the ravines , and through the long grass and thick jungle in a North - Easterly direc tion. I pursued the Rebels who had retreated to my front, as quickly as the stoopness of the Hill and bad nature of the ground would admit of. On reaching the other face of the top of the Hill , I perceived about 100 of the enemy in a body 900 yards from me, in the Plain beneath which was covered with jungle. They were mounting their horses , and I again opened fire, emptying several saddles and producing an immediate flight . They retreated very rapidly through the jungle to the South -East, when, owing to the exceeding thick- ness of the jungle, I lost sight of them, but continued to advance with my skirmishers so as to support Cap- tain Fane, who was pursuing with the 4th Seikh Ca- valry , in case my assistance should be required.

Adil Mahomed Khan having influential friends in the Koorwae District , it was necessary to taken circuitous route to avoid villages supposed to bo friendly to him . On the same account we had to refrain crossing the Betwa till we reached Bhairkairie. This lengthened our route so considerably that we did not reach this place till about half an hour after day- break, when we found that the enemy had left a few hours before .

Not being able to get any information from the villagers, I divided the Cavalry into three parties to week for the enemy's tracks. The party which I accompanied consisting of 40 of Mayne's Horse, under Lieutenant Bradford, caine upon some fresh foot prints on a jungle path leading towards Konda.

His Excellency in Council desires to record his appreciation of the spirit and gallantry on this occasion of Lieutenant Roome , who commanded, and of Lieutenant Bradford, of Mayne's Horse ; and his approval of the conduct of all concerned in this affair.

Weproceeded along this road at a canter, and when we had gone about four miles , came suddenly upon a strong body of the enemy's Cavalry which we at once charged cutting up many. They then fled in the Dau- murrie direction. Wepursued forsomemiles , killing some thirty- five and taking three or four prisoners . The remainder only about twenty then dispersed in the jungles in every direction, and our horses being too tired to pursue further, we returned to this place. The enemy were well mounted and well dressed (some in the scarlet of late Gwalior Contingent) and armed with percussion carbines and pistols .

SIR, I HAVE the honor to forward, for the informa- tion of the Right Hon'ble the Commander- in - Chief , Report of a success gained over the Rebels , under Adil Mahomed Khan, in the Basoda District , by Lieutenant Roome , of the 10th Bombay Native Infan- try, whom I had sent out in Command of a small Column.

Our prisoners report that Adil Mahomed Khan , Surferar Khan , and other Chiefs of note were with this party. I very much fear, however, that the former effected his escape as a personage of apparently some importance managed to get away in spite of our endeavours to prevent him. He was exceedingly well mounted , yet I am confident that had our horses been a little fresher , we would have succeeded in catching him.

Ibeg to recommend Lieutenant Roome, to His Lordship's favorable notice , as a most promising Officer, of much spirit and intelligence. His exertions in the field were continued when he should have been in Sick quarters , and I regret to learn that he has suffered severely in consequence .

Lieutenant Bradford, in charge of the Detachment Mayne's Horse, has, on several previous occasions , been very favorably reported to me.

I have called on Lieutenant Roome for a more particular report of the services of the Native Officers , with a view to bring them to His Lordship's notice .

Although the Regiment has been so lately raised, the men have never lost an opportunity of distinguishing themselves .

Icannot speak too highly of the behaviour of Mayne's Horse. These men had marched since yes- terday morning a distance of sixty- four miles before coming upon the enemy, and yet they could not have charged with greater dash had their horses been fresh from the stables: this may partly be accounted for by the gallant manner in which they were led by Licu- tenant Bradford , of whose excellent soldier - like qualities the General is no doubt aware , and whom I beg to bring again to his favorable notice. The fol- lowing Native Officers particularly distinguished themselves by their gallantry in hand- to-hand con- flicts. Ressaldar Indur Sing, Jomadar Gujur Sing, and Duffadar Luximon Sing . Gujur Sing was wounded by a carbine bullet in the breast, but nothing daunted, cut down the man who fired at him . I am happy to saythe wound is slight and he is doing well .

Ihave, &c. , (Signed) R. NAPIER, Brigadier General , Comdg. Gwalior Division .

FROM LIEUTENANT F. ROOME , 10th Regiment Bombay Native Infantry, Commanding Field Force,

TO MAJOR TODD,

I regret exceedingly that circumstances prevented me from bringing into action and thus rewarding the men of the 10th Regiment Native Infantry the fatigues and privations they had undergono . I cannot say too much in favor of the cheerfulness with which they, and indeed the whole Forco bore every hardship , marching day and night , till the object for which we set out was accomplished .

Adjutant General , Gwalior Division . Camp Roechea, 16th May 1850 .

The valuable services rendered to Government during this mutiny by Sir Soobah Ram Chunder Bajce Row are well known to the General , but not only were his exertions on this occasion as untiring as over, but his gallantry in action was most conspicious, he having been closely engaged several times.

SIR, 250 10th Regt . N. I. 250 Camel Corps. I HAVE the honor to report, for the informa- tion of General Sir R. Napier, 200 Mayne's Horse , K. C. B. , Commanding Gwalior Division, that having hoard that

Wamand Row Mhadow, Tehsildar of Basoda, deserves great credit for the accuracy of the informa- tion he procured .

Adil Mahomed Khan was collect ing a Force in this neighbourhood for the purpose of attacking Basoda, I left Mungrowlie for this place with Force as per margin .

I enclose a Casualty List, which I am happy to say isvery small .

To deceive the enemy as to my intentions, I had already ordered supplies , &c. , to be collected at Natarran andAijdah , giving out that I was going that way .

"I started yesterday at 1A. M. , halting during the heat of the day at Bhoraso, which I left again at 4 P. M.

The Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry, formed in Calcutta in the summer of 1857 on the footing of a Volunteer Corps receiving pay, was, in Octo ber of that year, movedItowards the scene of the disturbances . Reaching Raneegunge, it proceeded in pursuit of Mutincers to Gya, and thence marched to Patna and crossed into Tirhoot, in which District it was employed watching a body ofRebels . Early in 1858 the Regiment entered the Goruckpore District and took up , alone at first , a bold position at Ahmora, distant only five miles from an overwhelming Rebel force, themselves only two hundred in number ; and they held for the greater part of that year, with the Goruck- poro Field Force, important posts , and were , during that time, repeatedly engaged with the enemy.

diately arranged an attack No. 1051 of 1950.- Her Majesty has been pleased to appoint the under-mentioned gentlemen' to be Cudets of Engineers, Cavalry , and Infantry and Veterinary Surgeon in Her Majesty's Indiar Military Forces at the Presidency of Bengals They are accordingly admitted into the Service,

for the following morning, 18th June 2. The Sunputtree Pass leads, like the Khungra Pass , from the Trans Rapter country into Deokurh (Nepaul), but it is accounted a very difficult one, and is only used by the cowherds of the District, who [ 1730 ]

FORWARDED to the Secretary to the Government of India, Military Department, for the information of His Excellency the Governor-General in Council , with Lord Clyde's approval.

By order of the Commandor - in - Chief. - pasture their cattle according to the season either on the Nepaul or British side of the mountains . It is approached through about six miles of the densest Terye Forest, and is simply the bed of a mountain torrent paved with huge houlder stones . A few resó- lutemen could hold it against an army . The Rebel encampment was in a small open clearing on the edge of the torrent about four miles from the commence- ment of the forest .

ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE Head Quarters, Simla, The 7th July 1850 .

3. The Troops marched from Musha at 2 A. Μ. , in the strictest silence , and entered the forest unchal- lenged soon after day break . After proceeding about three miles into the forest , the advanced guard was seen by a Picquet of the enemy and concealment being no longer an object, the Troops were urged forward in view to allow the Rebels as little notice of our approach as possible.

No. 1051 of 1859. His Excellency the Gov- ernor General in Council is pleased to admit Subadar Nehall Sing and Huvildar Moosa Khan, of the 5th Punjauh Rifles, to the 3rd Class of the Order of Merit , for their distinguished conduct in action as brought to notice in the Despatch pub- lished in Government General Order, No. 1053 of this date.

4. The Rebel encampmont was found deserted, and here I left the Cavalry , their services being no longer required owing to the nature of the road. With the Infautry I pushed on in pursuit as fast as possible. The tracks left by the Robels showed both Cavalry and Infantry, and numbers of the latter were soon overtaken and slain , but I felt that the real prize was the Cavalry, and as the difficulties of the road in creased at cach step, made certain of eventually over- taking them . Finding that we gained upon them , they attempted to elude us by turning up the bed of a ravine to the right of the road , ignorant that there was no exit at the other end . Here they were over- they taken, and every man slain , upwards of 25 horses , and 30 ponies laden with baggage, falling into the hands of the Punjab Rifles .

No. 1055 of 1859.- His Excellency the Governor General in Council is pleased , subject to the ap- proval of Her Majesty's Government, to authorize the appointment of Regimental Majors to the Command of Regiments of Her Majesty's Indian Forces other than their own, whenever such ap- pointment may be considered by the Commander-

in-Chief to be expedient on publie grounds . This Order is applicable to the three Prest- dencies .

5. The pursuit was continued in all directions for fully five miles beyond the Rebel encampment, and great slaughter made. I am confident that upwards ofone hundred Rebels must have fallen. When the Troops were utterly exhausted by the combined effects of distance , heat, and the suffocating atmos- phere of the Terye Forest after heavy rain the pursuit ceased, and the Troops marched back to the Camp at Musha, which they reached about 3 P. M.

No. 1056 of 1859.- His Excellency the Gover- nor General of India in Council is pleased to make the following promotions:-

6. The behaviour of the men of the 5th Punjab Rifles was beyond all praise, and it was emulated by that of a small party of the Oude Police (Millett's Jezzailchees) which happened to be at Musha on a special service, and which I took with me to stop a road by which I thought it probable the Rebels would try to escape. I beg to solicit the 3rd Class of the Order of Merit for Havildar Moosa Khan , of the 5th Punjab Rifles, who particularly distinguished himself in this affair, and also for Subadar Nehall Sing , of the same Regiment , who in my presenco slew three of the Rebels in single combat.

7. I have no Casualties to report .

8. In conclusion, I venture to hope that the affair now reported , in conjunction with that of the Khungra Pass on the 14th instant , will prove to the remaining Rebels the utter hopelessness of prolonged resistance , inasmuch as they have seen that the British Troops can and will attack them in their selected fastnesses of the frontier fange of hills , undeterred alike by dread of the rainy season and of the deadly Terye Forest .

Accordingly I marched on the night of the 19th June to Bunhonee, late a Police post, fourteen miles , and leav- ing the baggage at that village made the following arrangements consequent on information there re- ceived .

SIR, IHAVE the honor to forward, for the information of Major-General Sir J. H. Grant, K. C.

I beg to recommend that the mention made of Subadar Hubeeb Khan, of the 5th Punjauh Rifles, should be brought to favor able consideration.

With the Infantry , and 20 men 1st Punjaub Cavalry, I marched under cover of the forest and parallel to the hills in view to cut off the Rebels from their retreat to Deokurk and fall upon their rear ; but their picquets had seen us before we en- tered the forest , and thus my intentions were to a cer- tain extent frustrated, the main body of the Rebels being in retreat, coveredby a strong rear guard, when we reached their encampment . The Punjab Rifles , however, supported by the Moradabad Levy and the party of the 1st Punjaub Cavalry followed the Rebels with the greatest spirit, and inflicted consi- derable loss upon them, driving them in confusion through the Pass for upwards of four miles . The pur- suit never slackened for a moment whilst the Rebols held together in a body, and when they broke and dispersed in the dense forest, they were followed in all directions by small parties of the Punjaub Rifles and Moradabad Levy, some of which did not rejoin for many hours afterwards .

Soon after penetrating the jungle, which was nothing more than brushwood, the enemy's picket, Infantry, was discovered at a distance off, and a party of Cavalry gallopod to the front in full hopes of cutting it off, when unfortunately it was pulled up by a deep ravine , the other side of which the enemy's picket had been posted.

On moving on to Pipree to the enemy's encamp- ment , I found it deserted; and it was evident from a quantity of things , arms, accoutrements , and large sup- plies of rice and flour strewn about on the ground that he had been alarmed and had taken a hasty departure . On being assured by a herdsman that the Rajah mounted on an Elephant with the majority of his force had gone Westward, I pressed on the Cavalry, who however could make no way, owing to the dense part of the jungle and a serpentine ravino impeding progress; while the enemy, concoaled, opened fire upon them.

The enemy having been entirely dispersed, and the track of the Elephant having been lost , I collected my Force and retired through the jungle making for Pipree . On destroying the enemy's huts as well as every thing found thereabout , and a Tiger fastenedby achain near the Rajah's dwelling , I moved off and reached Camp at 1-30 р . м.

The enemy's loss was about fifteen men, and it would have been certainly greater , but for the dense jungle and the knowledge of it, which particularly favored it , I am happy to say I had only one Horse wounded .

Having received intelligence that the Rebels to the number of (500) five hundred wore occupying Indhoorkhee , and that in consequence the Dak to ( walior was closed, I deter- mined to make an attempt to opon the road.

The enemy on our appearance manned the Fort walls, as if with the intention of making a stand there. They however precipitately abandoned them, as we drew nearer, and fearing lest they should slip altogether out of our hands , I advanced with the Cavalry at a gallop .

The ground being utterly unsuited for Cavalry, I retired out of fire , and the Infantry which had by this time arrived, advanced to the attack under the able guidance of Lieutenant Cock , they drove the enemy from oneposition to another, pursuing them from the distance of nearly a mile and a half, when finding from the nature of the ground that this ineffectual skirmishing might be interminably continued, and i [ 1792 ]

No. 1117 of 1859. The under - mentioned Offi- cer is permitted to proceed to Europe, on Furlough , on private affairs:-

Learning that the position which was held by the enemy was totally impracticable for Cavalry, and having further ascertained the jungle was more open to the East and West, I despatched the Sowars in two detachments as per margin, one to each flank , with orders to be on the alert, patrolling the edge of the jungle, and to cut up any fugitives that might attempt to escape in those directions . Proceeding about 5 miles further through jungle of so dense and thorny a nature that it was with great difficulty that we made any way at all, we came upon their advanced picquet and drove it in without loss on either side; pushing on with every possible despatch we surprized their Camp situated on a very rocky and difficult hill , well-known as one of their favourite resorts ; after a short stand made at a wall of rocks , about 6 feet in height, which they had raised across the path, they fled precipitately through thejungle in every direction; owing to the early hour at which this took place (viz. , about an hour before sunrise ) and the notorious denseness of the Jhoejhun jungle, I was unable to pursue them as efficiently as I could have wished, but many I believe were shot down and wounded during their flight . My own Casualtics were one Sepoy, Mattadeen Doobay, of the 5th Com- pany 31st Regiment Native Light Infantry, killed. The completeness of the surprize maybe imagined as more than 100 pairs of shoes , together with bedding, of every description , were left scattered over the ground of their late Camp, the paths of the jungle on every side were strewn with clothes and weapons, which they abandoned in their flight . Part of them attempted to escape on the East of the jungle and were attacked by the Ressaldar of the Police, whom I had detached to that point ; three of them were killed, and the rest effected their escape back into the jungle, where it was impossible for Captain Elliott Hyndman, For two years , of the 27th Regiment Native under the new Re- gulations.

Cavalry to pursue . The main body of the Rebels retreated in the direction of Jheejhun, where they ought to have been metby Captain Scott, of the 17th Regiment Madras Native Infantry, with his Detachment ; but owing to some mistake as to procuring Guides , I regret to say, that their retreat in direction was unmolested . On re- assembling my men on the hill of Kalee Paharee, where the enemy's Camp had been , I saw a small force of about fifty men as well as I could judge, for they were more than a mile off, advancing towards the hill from the North - East ; from the regularity of their movements, as well as from the glittering of their fixed bayonets , I supposed them to be the Detachment of the 17th Madras Native Infantry, although coming from a different direction to that in which we expected them ; but this morn- ing a letter from Captain Scott states that, owing to the reasons stated above, he did not move from his original position at Pipera . I can therefore only con- jecture that it was the party of Rebel Sepoys who are said to accompany Desput in all his wanderings . I consider that the effect produced on the Rebels by this affair willbe most beneficial as showing them that the densest jungle and most favorable position afford them but little more shelter than the open plain . Their numbers , I am informed, were from 4 to

500 men , and it is supposed under the Command of Desputhimself, as papers directed to him and some bearing his signature , together with one or two articles which were identified as belonging to him , were found in their Camp.

They are said tohave carried some wounded with them in their retreat .

OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR- GENERAL
      OF THE POST IN INDIA,
        January 1st, 1859.
     THE following Conditions are to be observed in sending Book -Packets by Post :-
      Ist. The Postage must be pre -paid in full, by means of Postage Stamps affixed outside the Packet
 on its cover .
     2nd. Every Packet must be sent cither without a cover, or in a cover open at the ends or sides , so
 asto admit of the enclosures being removed for examination.
     3rd. The Packet may contain any number of separate books or other publications, prints , or maps ,
 and any quantity of paper, parchment or vellum ( to the exclusion, however, of letters whether sealed
 or open) and the books or other publications , prints , maps , & c . , maybe either printed, written or plain,
 or any mixture of the three . Further , all legitimate binding , mounting , or covering of a book ,
 publication , &c. , or of a portion thereof, will be allowed , whether such binding , ze. be loose or attached;
 as also rollers in the case of prints or maps , markers (whether of paper or otherwise) in the case of
books ; and in short whatever is necessary for the safe transmission of literary or artistic matter or
 usually appertains thereto.
     1th.  The Packet must not contain any letter, closed or open , or any enclosure sealed or otherwise
closed against inspection, nor must there be any letter, or any communication of the nature of a letter ,
written or printed in any such Packet or on its cover. Entries , however, merely stating who sends the
book, & c . , or to whom it is given , are not regarded as a letter .
     514.- No Book- Packet can be received if it exceeds two feet in length , width , or depth .

614.-Any Packet which shall not be open at the ends or sides, or shall have any letter or any communication of the nature of a letter written or printed in it or upon its cover willbe charged with Letter Postage.

7th. If a Packet be found to contain any letter, whether closed or open , or any enclosure sealed or otherwise closed against inspection , or any other unauthorized enclosure, the letter or enclosure will be taken out and forwarded to the address on the lacket , charged with full Postage as an unpaid letter [ 1816 ]

together with an additional Book -rate ; that is, with the Postage chargeable on a Book weighing not more than half a to the remainder of the Packet, if duly pre - paid with Stamps, will then be forwarded to its address .

8th. If a Packet be not sufficiently pre-paid with Stamps but nevertheless bear Stamps equal to a single Book- rate, it will be forwarded chargedurged with the deficient Book - Postage together with an addi- tional Book -rate; but any Packet which shall not bear Postage Stamps equal to a single Book - rate will be detained and charged with the Letter Postage .

9th . No Book - Packet weighing more than three lbs can be sent to or from the East Indies or to New South Wales .

10th. The Colonial Book - Post extends to those Colonies only which are so marked in the Table of Colonial and Foreign Postage .

11th. In no case can a Book- Packet be sent to the Colonies (except at the letter rate of Postage,) through a Foreign Country .

SPECIAL Notice is directed to the subjoined Clauses of Rules, the want of attention to which has occasioned the Post Office much inconvenience .

2nd. A separate instruction willbe required for every change of address , and no instruction will be attended to for more than three months after its receipt .

3rd. Under Section XXIII . , of Act XVII . of 1854 , Forward Postage will be charged in addition to all other Postage due or paid thereon upon every letter without exception, which may be re -directed in any Post Office . For example , if a letter posted in Calcutta and addressed to Hooghly is , under instructions which may have been received from the addressee , re- directed in the Calcutta Post Office and sent to Barrackpore, Forward Postage will be charged in addition to the Postage which would have been due, had the letter been despatched to Hooghly according to its original address ,

4th. The practico of giving instructions to the Officers of the Post Office tointercept and ro-direct letters, not only imposes much labor upon them , but in large Offices seriously retards the delivery and despatch of the Mails. A register of instructions regarding changes of address will be kept in every Post Office, but it must be understood , that it is impossible to guarantee that they shall be attended to, except in the case of letters received for delivery .

THERE is only one delivery of letters at the General Post Office on Sundays , and Banghy Parcels areneither received nor despatched on that day .

LETTERS and Newspapers despatched to and from the United Kingdom by private Vessels are liable to the following rates of Postage which must be pre -paid by Stamps:

Rs . As. Pie.

040 Letters not exceeding oz . in weight

080 Ditto exceeding oz. but not exceeding 1 oz .

And so on adding 8 annas for each oz . or fraction thereof which includes Inland Postage .

Newspapers not exceeding 1 oz. in weight, ld . or 0 pie must be pre- paid in cash, and no Inland Parcels conveyedby the above opportunity for the United Kingdom are liable to Letter rates of Postage . Postage is required upon such papers .

Notice .

THE following Extract of an Order of the Government of India, No. 884 , of the 18th July 1855:- "No Public Officer is authorized to send Covers on the Public Service by l'ost, without payment of Postage, unless he is at the time on active duty and in charge of the Office by virtue of which the privilege is enjoyed . All letters superscribed as on the Public Service only' must, even though the Postage thereon be not paid, be received and opened by the Officer to whom they are addressed, but ifany such, or partialty paid letter so superscribed , and addressed to any Officer except a Secretary to Government be found when opened , to relate to the private affairs of the Sender, the Postage will be debited to him and he willbe further liable to be dealt with under Section XLVII. , Act No. XVII . of 1851 .

Ilis Honor in Council further directs that unpaid or insufficiently paid letters addressed to any such Officer or Department and not superscribed " on the Public Service only' be refused , or if opened that it be at the risk and cost of the opener ."

LETTERS arrivingat the Presidency Towns , by Mail Steamers will be immediately sorted for delivery according to the address alone, without any reference to instructions which may have been received regarding change of address ; such changes will be left to be discoveredby the Delivery Officers , and be corrected in the forward and unclaimed Departments of the Office.

Forward Postage will be charged in addition to all other Postage duo or paid thereon, upon every letter, without exception, which may be re - directed in the Post Ollice .

Letters , & c ., received by the Steamer willbe delivered at the Window of the Post Office only to partieswho have registered their names . Applications to the Post Office on the day of the Steniner's arrival to intercept and re -direct letters, ze. , cannot be attended to, as they are found not only to impose- much labour but seriously retard the delivery and despatch of the Mails .

[ 1847 ]

ALL Banghy Parcels being registered before despatch it is needless to have a Banghy Parcel specially registered by payment of the Fee of 4 annas as no additional precaution can be taken of a specially Registered Parcel which is not taken in the case of every ordinary Banghy Parcel .

UNDER the orders of Government , no fourth delivery of letters by the Post Office is allowed. Maile which are received by Steamers from Suez at so late an hour in the day as not to admit of the letters being taken out for delivery by 6 P. M. are detained till the following morning, but parties who have registered their names under the usual fee, are entitled to receive their letters and Marseilles News- papers so soon as the Mails are sorted, and which is generally about 2 hours after receipt of the Mail , at the Post Office .

THE Exemption allowed to Officers with the Army from the charge of Forward Postage on re -directed letters has been continued by the Governor- General " until further orders ."

Forward Newspapers. Extra or Forward Postage is chargeable on every Newspaper re -directed at the Post Office of original address and forwarded to another Post Office .

MAILS for Akyab, Rangoon, and Moulmein are made up on the 3rd and 19th of each month , for transmission by the Contract Steamers or by Government Vessels , which sail on the morning of the 4th and 20th , unless the Contractors choose to postpone the departure for 48 hours, of which they have the power on making a requisition.

The rates of Postage are as follows:-

The Military Commission, appointed for the trial of the Ex- King , assembled at Delhi on the 27th of January 1859 , under the Presidentship of Colonel Dawes , of the Bengal Artillery, an Officer of high character and attainments .

8. Her Majesty's Government entirely approve of your proceeding in bringing the Ex -King to trial . The investigation partook rather of the character of u Court of Enquiry than of a judicial tribunal . Whilst the Commission was precluded from passing sentence upon the prisoner , it was empowered.to extend its en- quiries beyond the primary object of ascertaining the guilt or innocence of the accused. It was properly held that the opportunity of obtaining reliable infor- mation respecting the origin and progress of the Mi- litary rebellion both from the witnesses examined and from the documentary evidence produced at the trial, ought not to be neglected ; and that therefore the Court should be restrained by no legal formalities , from taking evidence upon any point, the elucidation ofwhich might be alvantageous to the public interests. The investigation was, therefore , as much of a political as of a judicial nature , and the information elicited was as varied, as it was interesting and important .

CampGarispom, Zuh June 1850.

SIB,

On our return as the Column approached the village ofGoonapoora, somo Rebels who were hid in the houses fired out and shot a Duffadar of the Camel Corps I at once formed the Infantry into three storming parties under the respective leaderships of Lieutenants Harris, Newport, and myself. We lost no time in attacking. LieutenantHarris' and my party stormed the village, and Lieutenant Newport's a hill at the back of it . We drove the Rebals out of the village , I towards Lieute nant Newport's party ; but owing to the admirable cover they had , and the denseness of the jungle, they escaped with the loss of about ton of their number. We then returned to the village of Goonapoora, which we found full of grain and other supplies , sufficient for ayear's consumption, of which we took away as much as we could , destroyed the remainder and burnt the village . I should beg to draw the General's attention to the admirable behaviour of the men of all Arms composing the Force , who , because of the baggage not being able to follow us on account of the badness of the roads, had to remain the whole day and night in the rain, wet , hungry , and fatigued, bearing every pri- vation with the utmost cheerfulness . My thanks are specially due to Seci Sooha Ram Rao , for the correct- noss ofhis information and the great trouble he took to obtain it, and his indefatigable zeal in procuring sup- plies for the Force. I may also add that as usual he kept in front with the Skirmishers. I ought to say that I sent a copy of the terms offered, toAdil Mahomed and that he ordered my messongers to be beheaded, they inanaged however to escape with the loss of their horses , and roturned to me late on the night of the 22nd. In fact I set out for the attack in less than two hours after their return . I enclose & Casualty List.

Ihave the honor to request you will forward through Colonel Boyle, Com- 160 10th Regiment 1B N. I. manding Brigade at Dropoor , 193 Habres, Mayne's Horse. to General Napier, Command ing Gwalior Division, this my Report of a successful attack on Adil Mahomed, on the hills near Goonapoora . I left this place yesterday morning at one A. M., with a force as per margin , and proceeded by a jungle track over several ranges of hills, till I arrived at their encampment; this I found burnt to the ground and deserted, but in the bushes we took two prisoners who told us that Adil Maho- med was encamped on the hills with two thousand men, of whom eighty were mutinied Cavalry Sowars, and seven hundred Teelingas , or mutinied regular Sepoys, and the remainder Budmashes and Villaities. I ought to say that we had heard from a woman we met on the road , that the Patell of Goonapoora had advised her to leave, as it was the intention of the Rebels to have a fight with the English Force com- ing to attack them. Taking all this into considera- tion and also the smallness of my Force , I advanced to the attack of their Camp with the greatest caution . I threw out a portion of my Infantry as Skirmishers , keeping the remainder as a support. In this order we reached the enemy's position , but found that , at the cleventh hour, their carriage had failed them and they had retreated . Perceiving from the fresliness of their tracks that they had only lately left , I sent on Lieutenant Blair with the Cavalry in pursuit , and followed myself with the Infantry to support him, should the enemy make a stand as I expected .

Lieutenant Blair after a gallop of about a mile through thick jungle , came upon a large body of the enemy which he at once charged. They were regular Sepoys and Sowars mounted on horses and ponies , and though many of them made a desperate resistance, yut the Detachment of Mayne's Horso, under Lieutenant Blair's able leadership , managed to out up a great number of them. The Infantry were not altogether idle, for the Skirmishers put up one of the nullahs , a few Re- bels who had escaped the Cavalry , and shot or bayonet- ted them altogether .

"His Honor entirely agrees with you in what you state regarding the notion that seems to pre- vail that the Rule 38 for the guidance of Running Pilots is not imperative, and that Pilots are allowed a discretion whether to obey that Rule or to dwregard it . A Rule which may either be obeyed or disobeyed at the option of the persons for whose guidance it is professedly made, is in fact no Rule at all . As you observe all exceptional cases in which the general directions of the Rule are not to be observed, are provided for in the Rule itsell; and the only discretion left to Pilots in the duty of }

judging whether the case is one coming under the general directions of the Rule, or is one of the ex- ceptional cases specially provided for by the Rule." It is of importance that this misconception of THE Steamer Hoorungotta will, until further notice, leave Dinaporo on the 15th and Fyzabud on the 5th of every montlı. Passengers intend- ing to embark at Dhooree Burhul should be ready there on the 19th of the month for the upward voyage, and on the 6th for the downward .

the nature of the Rules laid down for the guidance of Pilots should be corrected; and that the Service should be made to understand that they are never at liberty to disregard any Rale ; and that they willbe held strictly responsible hereafter for dis regarding any Rule ; though of course all Rules must be applied in a rational manner to the case inhand."

In regard to Mr. Cox you have pronounced (as if clear from the evidence) that the caso did not come within the exceptions provided for by the Rule . It follows that Mr. Cox acted in direct disobedience of orders . He is very fortunate on this occasion to have escaped unpunished for so serious an offonce ; but he and all others must understand that disobedience of orders will not pass unpunished again .

About twelve o'clock mid -day, intelligence was brought from Alipora that the Rebels under Burgoor and Chutter Sing were collected at Gonda on the banks of the River Desanne some 500 strong. We immediately struck C'amp and marched vid Alipora on Gonda ; the strength of my Detachment being as per margin , that of Major Davies' as near as I can say as per margin also .

We arrived at Gonda about 4-30 P. M. , where we found the Rebels as reported encamped on the left bank of the river with dense jungle in their rear . I immediately ordered Skirmishers to the front under Ensign Holland, 21th Native Infantry , and drove the Rebels through a densejungle some two miles I should say on to another Ghat further up the River , of the existence ofwhich we were unaware . At this place they re-crossed the river and commenced a sharp fire upon us , hut more particularly on the Cavalry who when in the open : however we drove them out of their posi tion and then the Cavalry under Major Davies took up the pursuit .

The success was complete , the Rebels were com- pletely defeated and dispersed with . I am glad to say no Casualty on my side . A Sowar of Major Davies' I regret to sayhad two fingers cut off while attacking one of the Rebels with his spear. About ten or twelve of the enemy were killed , amongst whom was Jowahier a foster brother of Burgoor Sing's and a man of very determined appearance, Many others were wounded but hard to state how many on account of the dense junglo and nullahs inuumerable which favored their escape .

I cannot spenk too highly of the conduct of the Officers , Non -Commissioned Officers and Men under Command during this day's work , and more particularly my thanks are due to Ensign Holland for the steady way in which he lead the Skirmishers , driving all before him , and eventually enabling the Cavalry to take up the pursuit when Infantry were of no further use , and to which I attribute the great success of the day .

OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR - GENERAL) OF THE POST IN INDIA, January 1st, 1859.

THE following Conditions are to be observed in sending Book-Packets by Post:-

1st. The Postage must be pre - paid in full, by means of Postage Stamps affixed outside the Packet its cover.

on 2nd. Every Packet must be sent either without a cover, or in a cover open at the ends or sides , so as to admit of the enclosures being removed for examination .

3rd. The Packet may contain any number of separate books or other publications , prints , or maps , and any quantity of paper, parchment or vellum (to the exclusion, however, of letters whether sealed or open) and the books or other publications , prints, maps, &c . , may be either printed, written or plain, or any mixture of the three . Further , all legitimate binding , mounting , or covering of a book, publication , &c. , or of a portion thereof, willbe allowed, whether such binding, &c . be loose or attached; as also rollers in the case of prints or maps, markers (whether of paper or otherwise) in the case of books ; and in short whatever is necessary for the safe transmission of literary or artistic matter or usually appertains thereto .

4th. The Packet must not contain any letter , closed or open, or any enclosure sealed or otherwise closed against inspection , nor must there be any letter, or any communication of the nature of a letter, written or printed in any such Packet or on its cover. Entries , however, merely stating who sends the book, & c . , or to whom it is given , are not regarded as a letter . 5th. No Book - Packet can be received if it exceeds two feet in length , width, or depth .

6th. Any Packet which shall not be open at the ends or sides, or shall have any lettor or any communication of the nature of a letter written or printed in it or upon its cover will be charged with Letter Postage .

7th. If a l'acket be found to contain any letter , whether closed or open, or any enclosure sealed or otherwise closed against inspection , or any other unauthorized enclosure , the letter or enclosure will be takeout and forwarded to the address on the Packet, charged with full Postage as an unpaid letter [ 2036 ]

together with an additional Book - rate; that is , with the Postage chargeable on a Book weighing not more than half a lb the remainder of the Packet , if duly pre -paid with Stamps , will then be for warded to its address .

8th. If a Packetbe not sufliciently pre - paid with Stamps but nevertheless bear Stamps equal to a single Book - rate, it willbe forwarded charged with the deficient Book- Postage together with an addi. tional Book - rate ; but any Packet which shall not bear Postage Stamps equal to a single Book - rate will be detained and charged with the Letter Postage .

9th . No Book - Packet weighing more than three Ibs can be sent to or from the East Indies or to New South Wales .

10th . The Colonial Book - Post extends to those Colonies only which are so marked in the Table of Colonial and Foreign Postage .

11/h. In no case can a Book - Packet be sent to the Colonies (except at the letter rate of Postage,) through a Foreign Country .

SPECIAL Notice is directed to the subjoined Clauses of Rules , the want of attention to which has occasioned the Post Oflice much inconvenience . 2nd. A separate instruction will be required for every change of address , and no instruction will be attended to for more than three months after its receipt . 3rd- Under Section XXIII . , of Act XVII . of 1954 , Forward Postage will be charged in addition to all other Postage due or paid thereon upon every letter without exception, which may be re- directed in any Post Office . For example , if a letter posted in Calcutta and addressed to Ilooghly is, under instructions which may have been received from the addressee , re -directed in the Calcutta Post Office and sent to Barrackpore, Forward Postage will be charged in addition to the Postage which would have been due , had the letter been despatched to Hooghly accordingaccording to its original address .

4th. The practice of giving instinstructions to the Officers of the Post Office to intercept and re - direct letters, not only imposes much labor upon them, but in large Offices seriously retards the delivery and despatch of the Malls . A register of instructions regarding changes of address will be kept in every Post Office , but it must be understood , that it is impossible to guarantee that they shallbe attended to, except in the case of letters received for delivery .

THERE is only one delivery of letters at the General Post Office on Sundays , and Banghy Parcels are neither received nor despatched on that day .

LETTERS and Newspapers despatched to and from the United Kingdomby private Vessels are liable to the following rates of Postage which must be pre - paidby Stamps :-

Кя . Ая . Ріе.

Letters not exceeding oz . in weight

Ditto exceeding oz . but not exceeding 1 oz . 040 080

And so on adding 8 annas for each oz . or fraction thereof which includes Inland Postage.

Newspapers not exceeding 4 oz . in weight, ld. or 9 pie must be pre - paid in cash, and no Inland Postage is required upon such papers . Parcels conveyed by the above opportunity for the United Kingdom are liable to Letter rates of Postage .

Notice.

The following Extract of an Order of the Government of India, No. 884, of the 13th July 1855 :- " No Public Officer is authorized to send Covers on the Public Serviceby Post , without payment of

Postage , unless he is at the time on active duty and in charge of the Officeby virtue of which the privilege is enjoyed. All letters superscribed as on the Public Service only' must, even though the Postage thereon be not paid , be received and opened by the Officer to whom they are addressed, but ifany such, or partially paid lettpaid letter so superscribed, and addressed to any Officer except a Secretary to Government be found when opened, to relate to the private atlairs of the Sender, the Postage will be debited to him and he willbe further liable tobe dealt with under Section XLVII ., Act No. XVII . of 1851.

His Honor in Council further directs that unpaid or insufficiently paid letters addressed to any such Officer or Department and not superscribed " on the Publie Service only be refused, or if opened that it be at the risk and cost of the opener. "

LETTERS arriving at the Presidency Towns ,by Mail Steamers willbe immediately sorted for delivery according to the address alone, without any reference to instructions which may have been received regarding change of address; such changes will be left to be discovered by the Delivery Oflicers , and be corrected in the forward and unclaimed Departments of the Office .

Forward Postage will be charged in addition to all other Postage due or paid thereon , upon every letter, without exception , which any be re- directed in the Post Office .

Letters , & c. , received by the Steamer will be delivered at the Window of the Post Office only to parties who have registered their names . Applications to the Post Office on the day of the Steamer's arrival to intercept and re - direct letters , &c. , cannot be attended to , as they are found not only to impose much labour but seriously retard the delivery and despatch of the Mails .

[ 2037 ]

ALL. Banghy Parcels being registered before despatch it is needless to have a Banghy Parcel specially registered by payment of the Fee of 4 annus as no additional precaution can be taken of a specially Registered Parcel which is not taken in the case of every ordinary Banghy Parcel.

UNDER the orders of Government, no fourth delivery of letters by the Post Office is allowed. Mails which are receivedby Steamers from Suez at so late an hour in the day as not to admit of the letters being taken out for delivery by 6 r. M. are detained till the following morning, but parties who have registered their names under the usual fee, are entitled to receive their letters and Marseilles News- papers so soon as the Mails are sorted , and which is generally about 24 hours after receipt of the Mail , at the Post Oflice .

THE exemption allowed to Officers with the Army from the charge of Forward Postage on re - directed letters has been continuedby the Governor- General " until further orders ."

Forward Newspapers . Extra or Forward Postage is chargeable on every Newspaper re - directed at the Post Office of original address and forwarded to another Post Office .

MAILS for Akyab, Rangoon , and Moulmein are made up on the 3rd and 19th of each month, for transmission by the Contract Steamers or by Government Vessels , which sail on the morning of the 4th and 20th, unless the Contractors choose to postpone the departure for 18 hours , of which they have the power on making a requisition .

ments ; the Corps of the same description , in which are united the loyal men of the 17th , 37th and 50th Regiments ; and the few remaining men of several Corps, aboabove enumerated , who did not join in the Mutiny of their misguided com- rades, and are now about to be gathered together and re -armed.

19. DuringDuring the first few months of the Mutiny of 1857, in which the greater part of the Bengal Native Army rose in arms against the (Government, it becaine necessary to deprive of their Arms sich of the Native Regiments as, without overtly committing themselves, evinced un unquiet temper , and such also as, from the vircumstances of their position , were a source of uncasiness to the public, so long as they possessed the means of doing violence .

27. Finally the attention of the Government has been engaged with the case of the Regimenta at Barrackpore and Berhampore , and of the 25th Native Infantry at Benares ; and the determi- nation of the Government with regard to these Corps is now announced for general information.

In the North - Western Provinces and in the Punjanb the following Regiments were disarmed ; the 4th , 5th , and 8th LightLight Cavalry; the 4th, 16th, 24th , 27th , 33rd , 35th , 30th , 44th, 47th , 49th, 58th , 59th, 64th , 65th , 67th Regiments Native Infantry; and besides these , the 4th Troop 3rd Brigade Horse Artillery, the 10th Light Cavalry ; the 5th , 26th , 45ch, 51st, 57th , 62ud , 69th Rogiments of Native Infantry , having been in the first instanco disarmed, subsequently mutinied .

20. On like considerations the disarming of the Native Infantry Regi- ments at Calcutta and Bar- rackpore took place . The Calcutta Na- live Militia.

The 2nd N. I. (Grongdiers.)

28. The 2nd Native Infantry, (Grenadiera .)-This Reginent is one of the oldest in the Bengal Army. It was raised in 1762 , and during nearly a cen- tury , it has occupied an honorable position in the Line . In October 1761 , within two years of its formation, it took part in the Battle of Buxar ; it was employed in the Campaigns in Gazorat from 1778 to 1784 ; it was greatly distinguished in the successful Defence of Candahar in 1842, and at the Capture of Ghuznee and of Cabool in the same year; it won for itself an Ilonorary Color, on which the word " Ghuznes" is inscribed, and the distinction of being made a Grenadier Regi- ment ; it was engaged in the Battle of Maharaj- pore in 1843, and in the actions at Moodkee and Ferozeshuhur in 1815. It bears all these hono-

rable names on its Colors. 29. But the high reputation of this Regiment has been tarnished, and its name disgraced by the taint of disloyalty.

22. The 32nd Native Infantry , after the mutiny of two detached Companies of this Re- giment who murdered one of their (Officers , willing- ly gave up their Arms at the order of their Com manding Officer, and in that condition joined the Brigade at Barrackpore .

30. From the very commencoment of the Mu- tinies, in the carly part of 1857 , the 2nd Grena diers have been mixed up with the combination of the Army against the State . There is no overt act of disloyalty which can be proved against the Regiment; but its conduct has, from the first, been the subject of well-grounded suspicion .

23. At Berhampore the 63rd Native Infantry and the 11th Irregular Cavalry were likewise dis- armed ; and at Benares , the Left Wing of the 25th Native Infantry .

31. It was to the 2nd Grenadiers that the trea- sonable letters were addressed by the Mutincers at Delhi , the bearers of which paid for their under- taking with their lives.

32. To restore its Arms to a Rogiment so cir- cumstanced is , notwithstanding all its former dis- tinguished services , impossible :-and the Governor General in Council direets that the 2nd Grenadiers shall be disbanded, and its name erased from the Line .

33. The disbandment of th's Regiment will be carried into effect in the follow ng manner: ---

21., Front that time to the present, these Re- gimentshave continued to perfom such duties as have been required of them . ne of them , the 70th Native Infantry, having towards the close of the year 1857 volunteered for service in China, was re-armed and despatched thither. Its con- duct in that Country has been without fault . Another Corps of the Barrackpore Brigade has ceased to exist ; the remnants of this Regi- ment , the 34th Native Infantry, aftor considerable diminution by dischargerge andand casualty, having been incorporated last year with the 2nd Grena- diers .

34. Returns having been obtained of the cha- racter and services of evory Native officer and man in the Regiment, those who are of had or indifferent character, 84 in number of all ranks, will be disunissed from the Service and sent away from Barrackpore at the rate of about forty men a week, with subsistence allowance, calculated according to the distance of their respective homes .

35. The remainder of the Regiment,, consist- ing, after numerous discharges , of 411 of all ranks, men of good character, and against whom individually no fault is chargeable , has been di- vided into thred classes :-

25. So long as the disturbances continued to prevail in Bengal and in the Upper Provinces , it was impracticable to take any measures with regard to the disarmed Regiments in the Presidency Division and elsewhere. But as the Provinces quieted down , and as opportunity served, Regi- ment after Regiment , of the few remaining em- bodied and unarmed , has been finally dealt with as each appeared to deserve ; some have received hack their Arms ; others have been disbanded and have dispersed quietly to their homes .

18/.-Men who have served upwards of 20 years; 2nd.-Men who have served upwards of 8, but less than 20 years ; and

3rd. Men who have served less than 8 years , These will allbe discharged, and sent away, in convenient numbers , in the same manner as the 26. Of the former class are the 4th Native Infantry, (Right Wing ) , the 33rd, 58th and 59th Regiments ; the 47th and 65th Native Infantry, which were ro- armed and sent on service to China ; the Loyal Poorbenh Regiment , composed of the faithful remnants of the 3rd, 36th and 61st Regi- [ 2098 ]

men who took their discharge last year from the Barrackporo Brigade

Government had any reason to suspect it of disloyal- ty, but as a precaution . The RegimentRes bore this measure in a soldier - like manner,anner , and has through . out exhibited an orderly and quiet temper .

36 The whole will be granted subsistence allowance for their journey, according to the distance of their homes ; and on arriving at Stations near their homes , where there may be Treasuries , they will receive a certain amount of Pay, without Batta :

16. This Corps served in Affghanistan in 1842 ,at Candahar, at Glaiznee, andat Cabool ; and won for itself the honor of being nude a Light Infantry Regiment . It served also with distinction at Maharajpore , in 1813, and at the decisive action at Subraon in 1816.

Those of the first class , six months' pay; those of the second class , four months' pay ; and those of the third class , two months' pay .

47. The Governor General in Council , în re- liance on the loyalty of the 43rd , bas resolved that it shallbe re - armed; at the same time its worn -out men will be dealt with under the Pen- sion Regulations, and the few in it who are men of bad or doubtful character will be discharged with subsistence allowance .

37. Incorporated with the 2nd Grenadiers since last year, are the remains of the late 34th Native Infantry, in all, 71 men of all ranks, These have had no concern with the conduct of the 2nd Grenadiers ; they are men who remained loyal when their comrades of the 34th joined in the Mutiny . The Governor General in Council has determined that they shallbe re - armed and remain in the Service .

48. The Corps will be removed to another Station, as soon as the measures now being adopt. ed for relieving it shall have been carried out . 49. The men formerly of the 34th N. I. above mentioned as incorporated with the 2nd Grena- diers , will be transferred to the 32nd and 48rd Regiments , in equal proportions .

38. The 25th Regiment Native Infantry . This Corps was raised in 1795 , as a marine Regiment , and has done much good service beyond Sea. It served with distinction at Juva in 1811 , and took part in the actions at Chillianwalla and Goojeerat, in the Campaign of the Punjauh , in 1849 .

39. The temper of this Reginment, during the Mutinies , has not been such as to deserve the confidence of the Government ; and His Excellen- cy in Council considers that the disbandment of the 25th Native Infantry is necessary.

50. The 63rd Regiment Natire Infantry. This Regiment , which in 1857 was disarmed as a precautionary measure, and has behaved in an exemplary manner under that privation , will have its arms restored to it . The Governor General in Council has reason to believe that the 63rd , which was known for many years as a steady Regiment , willjustify by its future conduct the confidence now placed in it .

51. The Regiment will be relieved , shortly, under the arrangements for that purpose already in progress .

40. The Regiment will be dispersed in the same manner as the 2nd Grenadiers . The men of bad and indifferent character , 199 of all ranks , will first be dismissed, in convenient numbers at a time, with subsistence allowance for their jour ney homewards; and the remainder, who are men character, in number 882 of all ranks , having been divided into classes according to length of service, will be discharged with subsis- tence allowance, and will eventually receive a donation of six, four and two months' pay respec- tively.

52. Before this Corps receives back its arms those who are worn - out , in number 25 of all ranks , willbe dealt with under the Pension Regu- lations ; and those of bad or doubtfal character , amounting in all to 121 men, will be discharged with subsistence allowance for their journey home. 53. The Calcutta Native Militia. This Regi ment was raised in 1795 , and has always borne an excellent charader. IHeretofore it has been a local Corps . It rem ined untainted during the Muti nies, and has continued steadily perform the duties required of it , both before it was disarmed and since that period . It was disarmed solely as aprecaution , and it delivered up its arms, as has before been mentioned, cheerfully .

41. Besides the men of good character , whose number is given above, there are in this Regi- Subadar and six Havildars , who were promoted for eminent service to Government during the Mutinies . These men will be re - armed and retained in the Service, in consideration of their loyalty. They willbe attached to Regi- ments under the orders of the Right IIon'ble the Commander - in -Chief .

54. The Governor General in Council has determined that this Regiment shallbe again en- trusted with its arms, after having its worn -out men separated from it under the Pension Rules , and its men of bad or doubtful character discharged with subsistence allowance ; and IIis Excellency in Council has further resolved that , in respect of Pay and Pension , the Calcutta Native Militia shall be placed on the footing of a Corps of the Line .

42. The 32nd Regiment Native Infantry. This Corps, now considerably below its complement, consists of men who keptkept aloof from the Mutiny and murder, of which two Companies of the Re- giment were guilty in 1857;-who gave up their arms with alacrity, at the bidding of their Com manding Officer;-and who, from that time to the present , have conducted themselves with soldier - like propriety

55. The designation of the Regiment will henceforwardbe " The Aliporo Regiment . " The proffer of general service made by this Corps is accepted by the Government .

18. To this Regiment the Governor (General in Council will restore its arms, as a mark of his confidence in their fidelity. At the same time the worn-out men belonging to it will be invalided or otherwin favorably demmt with; and the men of bad or doubtful character willbe dischargel with subsistence allowance .

41. The Corps will be removed from Barrack. pore, as soon as it can be relieved, under arrange- ments now in progress for that purpose .

56. The 11th Regiment Irregular Cavalry. This Regiment was disarmed at Berhampore at the same time with the 63rd Native Infantry , although not without a show of disposition on the part of some of the men. to resist that measure. But it contains in its ranks many excellent men, who have rendered good service to the State ; and its subsequent conduct has been soldier- like and cre ditable.

15. The 4d Native Light Infantry. This Regiment was disarmed in 1857, not because the [ 2099 ]

57. The Corps was raised in 1816 , and served with distinction at Mooltan and at Goojerat in 1849, in the Campaign of the Punjab .

Lieutenant Hector Munro, of the Regiment of Artillery For twelve months under the, new Regulations .

My report of the Blat ultimo will have informed you, for the information of His Excellency the Conumander - in - Chief, that the Rebels had deter. mined to defend the Fort of Rathghur in order to prevent my Foros from relieving Sangor, and putting down rebellion in the Saugor and Bundlecund Districts.

and reached without being discovered, the edge of the open ground in front of the East curtain of the Fort , which Major Boileau had selected for the breaching Batteries .

As I approached Rathghur , I received information of the assemblage of Rebok at Odepore in Scindia's Country and in my front in order to ensure the safety of tho Siege Train, which was a day's march in the rear, and not to lose time , I brought it up by a night march to my Force, and adopted precautions against surprise ..

I directed a road to be out immediately by the Sappers and Miners from the foot of the slope to this Battery: our left to open a communication down the South of the rock with the Troop of the 3rd Cavalry, investing the South of the rock, our right to open a communication down the North side of the rock with the Camp , and Rifle pits to be made at night in front of our attack, enfilading, as much as possible, the Enemy's line of defences.

In going through a pass over a range of hills , five milos from Rathghur , the Officer Commanding the loading flankers , embarrassed by the thick jungle, took by mistake the right instead of the left road , as ordered, and crossing , in consequence, the River Berna by the upper, the wrong ford got into a skirmish with the Robels posted in the suburbs of Rathghur. I had just arrived, with the advanced guard at the encamping ground ; to extricate the flaukers from a position so unfavorable to Cavalry , I advanced and covered with the Infantry Guns and supports their return to their proper position . In rectifying this mistake , I had gained a good deal of ground to the right front , and a Company of the 21th Native Infantry had taken with spirit one or two houses and gardens ; on reconnoitering . I found that they wore the commencement of the suburbs, and that to keep all this would compromise my right, and plan of attacking the Fort from the left flank.

The Enemy having porccived our position , com- menced rather a sharp fire on it from their jinjale and small guns in the curtain and bastions which 1 kept down with the fire of the 6- Pounder of the Ilyderabad Contingent, and the 5 Mortars , the former firing at the loop holes and embrasures, the latter with half charges dropping their shells on the baunuette . I beg to mention , for his devotion on this occasion, Quarter Master Thompson , Commanding a half Battery of the Artillery of the Hyderabad Con- tingent, who has completed thirty -two years of meritorious service. Twice hit, he continued to fight his guns successfully to the close of the day. I thanked

hisBattery on the ground . The two 18 -Pounders , with Elephant draught , wero brought up the hill at 4 P. M.; the 3rd Europeans dragging them up the steep where the Elephants could not go..

I therefore ordered the Troops back to their Camp . The next day I made with Major Boileau, Com- manding Engineer , and a small party of the 3rd Europeans and 3rd Light Cavalry, undor Captain Forbes , a completo reconnoisance of eighteen miles of the whole Country round the rock of Rathgur .

The feint against the Town drove the Enemy out of it into the Fort , and I ascertained that the rock , 14 mile in in length, covered and surrounded with thick jungle, slopes from the West where it is precipitous to the East , where it is accessible . The North front of the fort was the only one which was habited; the other fronts were merely fortifications . The River Beena runs under its West face.

These or Town attack kept up , fire on the line of defences

placed Captain Lightfoot's 8 inch Howitzer and two 8 Batteries forming the right night and day , an effective and buildings of the Fort .

The reconnoisance confirmed in all cssentials the information on which I had formed my prin of attack. I carried it out , by investing the same evening the rock of Rathghur as closely as the great extent , hills, thick jungle, and a difficult River would allow me. But it is impossible, unless with a very much larger Force than my own to invest completely such ground , bocause a great part of it is dense jungle, which hiding all view of the Enemy's inotions , enable him, by a ſeint, to concentrate videttes and pickets on one point, and then pass through the vacuum.

On the 27th instant , I changed the 8 inch Howit- zer from the right to the left attack, in order to enti- lade with its fire the defences and palaces of the North face.

Iwas constantly between the two attacks which were 2 miles apart. From the Town'attack I directed a Detachment of Sir Robert Hamilton had the goodness to place at my disposal 600 or 700 Troops of all Arms of the Regiment of Bhopall; and I had requested their Com- mander to invest the South-West of the Fort, as being nearest to their Country , and to take the villago ofPutten , which they did with alacrity after firing a few shots .

The next day as soon as the Officers Commanding the Artillery and Engineers, had reported that they were ready for the Siege , I attacked the Fort from the left, at the South - West end of the rock , under cover of a feint from the right , ugainst the Town, from which all possible advantage was to be derived.

Both succeeded. Leaving a Troop of the 3rd Light Cavalry at the foot of the slope to cover

the 3rd Europeans , supported by another of the 24th Native Infantry, with two Companies of the 24th Na- tive Infantry in reserve , and under cover of houses and trees and of a heavy fire from the Eedgha Battery to take a low massive tower close to the main gate, Captain Lightfoot being of opinion that a Howitzer mightbe placed in it which would batter the gate, and strengthen and shorten the cordon of investment. I had a couple of 8 inch shells thrown into the Tower, to drive out the Enemy should theybe there when the storming party gallantly led by Captain Lightfoot, who volunteered to accompany it, for which I beg to recommend him to His Excellency, entered the Tower under a heavy fire from the walls by the postern op- posite the walls from which it was only fifty yards distant;Captain Lightfoot recommends PrivateDavies of the 3rd Europeans for his gallantry and intelli- our rear, accompanied by Captain Forbes , Command he is useful , I mounted , with ing the 3rd Light Cavalry, whe is always as zealous as the Troops in the margin . under the Command of Lieutenant- Colonel Liddell, the slope, two Companies of the Brd Europeaus skirmish-

Anxious not to lose a day in relieving Saugor , I made continued marches without a halt .alt. The Troops, on account of the difficulties of supply , were, at times twenty-four hours , without rations, and four days on duty before Rathghur without a relief, defending their Camp against a numerous Enemy in a dangerous Coun- try in their flanks and rear, attacking with all their energy and taking , in three days , a Fort strong by nature and art in their front , which Scindia with a Force, of at least four times their strength , besieged for five months .

5. I moved in the order of march which I always adopt when near the Rebels , as a precaution against their system of surprises ; that is a line of flankers of Her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons on each side of the road, 50 yards in front of the leading file of the advanced guard , which with a file of Irregulars has charge of the guides, another line of Irregular Cavalry, 150 yards in echelon in front of the outward flanks of the 14th , and should thick jungle border the road, a Company of Infantry in extended order on each side to support the flankers of the 14th and the ad- vanced guard . By this means all dangerous ground is searched, surprises are almost impossible and spies lying concealed at a great distance from the road, are frequently seized.

The flankers of the Irregulars suddenly halting, reported that they perceived the Enemy in force in ambuscade on our left. Being with thể ad vanced guard, which was under Lieutenant - Colonel Turnbull, I ordered the two guns of his Troop to open their fire to the left on the Enemy ; before they could do so the Enemy opened a Musketry fire on us, killing Lieutenant -Colonel Turnbull's horse, and keeping it upwith tenacity, although I re- inforced the division of Horse Artillery with four of Captain Lightfoot's 9 -Pounders, firing grape and round shot ; it was too close for shrapnell .

FROM MAJOR GENERAL SIR HUGH ROSE, K. C. B. , Commanding Central India Field Force .

TO COLONEL GREEN, C. B.,

Adjutant-General of the Army .

SIR,

7. Lieutenant-Colonel Turnbull, with the Horse Artillery, took ground to the right with the view to enfilade the Enemy , but he could not get a slant at them . However , this movement enabled him to obtain good views of abody of Rebel horsemen , with a red standard endeavouring to gain a wood to our right and outflank us. I had directed a charge of Cavalry against them , but it could notbe executed in consequence of the Staff Officer being unable to find a passage down the high banks of the Beeua, two rounds of spherical case burst amongst this batch , they disappeared .

8. Ihad placed the 3rd Europeans in skirruishing order, in front of the flanks of the guns, their united fire diminished, but did not silence the fire of the Rebels.

I HAVE the honor to state to you, for the information of His Excellency the Commander - in- Chief, that after the capture of Rathghur, the Rebels who had retired from Chunderapore to Barodia , as mentioned in my Report of the 7th February 1858, concentrated in the latter place, having been re- inforced by such of the Garrison of Rathghur as had escaped, andby Rebels from Koraye and other places in Bun- dlecund.

2. Barodia on the left bank of the river Beena, is a strong village with a " gurrie " or small Fort, with densejungle on each side about 12 miles from Rath ghur, on the road to Koraye a strong fort 29 miles to the north of Saugor .

9. I therefore charged the Rebels out of their ad- vanced position, with the skirmishes of the 3rd Euro- peans , who, under Lieutenant -Colonel Liddell, gallantly drove them out of their own treacherous element, thick jungled twisting, nullahs, and took possession of the bank of the river, commanding the ford to Barodia, which now first became visible ; the Rebels had dis- played so much obstinacy in defending this position in order to prevent our advance across the Beena to Barodia
