No. 600 of 1858.-The Right Hon'ble the Go- vernor General is pleased to direct the publication of the following letter from the Adjutant General of the Army, forwarding aDespatch from Briga- dier Douglas , C. B. , Commanding the disturbed Districts of Behar and Ghazeepore, narrating the final dislodgement of the Rebels from the jungles of Jugdeespore in Shahabad, and their pursuit into the Kymore Hills .

FROM BRIG VOTER DOUGLAS , C. D. , Comdg, the disturbed Districts of Behar TO THE ADJT - GENL. OF THE ARMY , SIR, and Ghazeepore, Army lead Quartera, Allahabad , Mohuneea, 31st October 1858.

In continuation of my letter of the 27th instant , I have now the honor to report , for the in- formation of the Right Hon'ble the Commander - in- Chief , the further operations , since the 14th instant , of the various Columns acting in Shahabad under my orders .

The Governor General cordially concurs with the Right " Hon'ble the Commander- in- Chief in the unqualified approbation His Excellency has expressed of the perseverance and constancy of Brigadier Douglas , C. B. , and of the prudent measures adopted by him in attaining this ob- ject . His Lordship also highly approves of the conduct and gallantry of the other Officers , and of the whole of the men engaged in these opera- tions.

To explain the relative position of the Rebels and my own Columns , I must premise that the enemy , estimated at 4,000 Sepoys of the old Bengal Army, and from 400 to 500 Cavalry , were, on the 9th instant when I commenced my movement from Dinapore' distributed over the District in five large divisions as follows:-

R. J. H. BIRCH, Major - Genl., Secy. to the Govt. of India, Mily . Dept., with the Govr . -Genl .

Oneat Jugdeespore .

Another between Buruhpoor and Chungaen, a por- tion of these said to be entrenched, with two guns in position, at Burulipoor .

A third at Pecroo, south of Jugdeespore.

No. 1475 . FROM THE ADJUTANT GENERAL OF THE ARMY , TO THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVT . OF INDIA, Military Department ,

with the Govr .- Genl .

SIR, I have the honor , by order of His Excellency the Commander - in-Chief, to forward for submission to the Right Hon'ble the Governor General, a despatch from Brigadier J. Douglas , C. B. , which that Officer narrates the final dislodgement of the Rebels from the jungles of Jugdeespore in Shahabad, and their pursuit into the Kymore Hills .

A fourth . at Karee Sath , ( north- east of Jugdees- poor.) And the fifth at Balawur (11 miles due east of Jugdeespore .) To operate against these several bodies, and with a view of driving them towards the common centre, Jugdeespore , I had issued orders for the following movements . On the 13th October four Columns were to move from Buxar, and driving the enemy before them , to form in conjunction with the Force under Colonel Turner , advancing from Sasseram , a connected line from the Ganges to the Soane , and thus close the enemy into the jungle on the west and south sides . These four Columns were composed and commanded as follows :-

Lightfoot , 81th Regiment (strength as por margin) to march to Puhareepore on the direct Arrah and Buxar road.

2. His Excellency would take this opportunity of bringing to the especial notice of the Government the perseverance and constancy of the Brigadier Commanding, who, after a most harassing and anxious campaign of many months , has at length obtained complete success by the prudence of his measures , and the indefatigable exertion of himself and the Troops under his command, in carrying them into execution .

The third under Captain Snow, 84th Regiment, to Peeharee Chuk .

The fourth under Major Carr, Madras Rifles , to Ekil.

3. It has been his lot to contend against a hostile country, as well as against the bodies of Mutineers and other Rebels who found harbourage in it . The difficult duty of clearing the District , delayed for a long time by the impossibility of acting in a satis- factory manner , while the District was absolutely flooded by the late rains , could not be attained by sudden or hasty measures . It was necessary for the Brigadier to proceed gradually and surely , enclosing the enemy in a system of posts , which at last he was able to press forward simultaneously, and so put an end to the struggle in Shahabad.

The above Columns were directed to be in position by noon on the 15th instant, driving all before them towards the jungle, and to form a connected line of Infantry, with advanced Cavalry posts in the intervals . Colonel Turner was to form three posts to the south, thus completing the chain from the Ganges to the Soane, and he himself with a Movable Column was to drive in the southern division of the enemy at Pecroo. Colonel Walter was to take up his position to the east of Jugdeespore, he having previously driven into the jungle the Balawur division of the Rebels .

ADJT - GLNL'S OFFICE ; ALLAHABAD, } The 18th December 1558. S

The operations up to the 14th October, including the skifinish on that date near Karee Sath, have [ 26 ]

already been reported . On that day the guns of the Rebels were heard from the direction of Buruhpoor, and the report from Colonel Dunsford received next day (forwarded herewith ) shewed that the portion of the general plan entrusted to him had been prompt- ly and skillfully executed . The same success had at- tended Colonel Turner's and Major Carr's Columns , as also that of Colonel Walter and my own , as previ-

ously reported . Finding that complete success had attended these operations on

The above rough sketch of the movements and distribution of my several Columns (most minute details , too long to enter into here, had been issued to, and acknowledged by the several Officers Com- manding) willwill show that I entertained no unreason- able expectation in hoping to hem the Rebels into their stronghold by noon on the 18th instant, and then , by a simultaneous assault on all sides, to end the cam- paign in Shahabad at one blow.

The whole of the arrangements , with one exception , were completed almost beyond my expectation , con- sidering that my chain of posts extended over about sixtymiles .

the night of the 15th in- stant, 1 sent orders for the whole of the posts to close towards the jungle. These had to be con- veyed through acountry swarning with the enemy, the road ly- ing in some places actually through their picquets inthe jungle.

west; a connected line of posts was jor Lightfoot's Column on the at once establish- ed along the Railway embankment, passing through and closing the north of the jungle . My Cavalry and the mounted Rifle Detachment of the 10th Foot were pushed on to the village of Roophan further south, about two miles east of the village of Dawapand were employed the whole day in skirmishing with detached parties of the enemy , who appeared in the skirts of the jungle, either from a wish to break out towards the Soane or to discover our intentions . During the afternoon , I pushed forward , in support , a Company of the 35th Regiment under Command of Captain Browne, who , in conjunction with the Cavalry and mounted Riflemen, hold the enemy in check during the night . I purposely kept their attention engaged in this quarter, to give time for the comple- tion of the closing movements of any converging Columns , with all of whom I was in frequent communi- cation . At 1. P. M. , I sent orders to Colonel Walter and Coloßel Turner, ( the former then actually at

Colonel Walter, who had been directed to take up his position at Musondhee, 8 miles cast of Jugdeespore , unfortunately found it necessary ( in consequence of the unfavourable reports he had received of the inun- dated state of the country) to make a circuit of some 30 miles vid Arrah , and hence did not reach his post until late in the afternoon ; the gap thus left open was only too readily taken advantage of by the enemy. Colonel Turner from the south, and Colonel Dunsford from the north -west, encountered considerable opposi- tion in their advance on Judgeespore , as is shewn by their several reports; my own advance was almost without opposition , and we arrived at Jugdeespore to find it evacuated by the enemy, whose rear guard left their entrenchments on one side , as we entered them on the other . The Rebels had fled , abandoning two guns and their immense earth - works (surprising from their extents and the time and labour evidently expended on their construction) , having finally made out a feoble resistance. For some time no trace of the main body could be discerned, as none of Mr. Money's nunicrous spies had returned with informa- tion . About 3. P. M. , receiving what appeared reliable information that the enemy had fled south , leaving Colonel Dunsford's Column to garrison Jugdeespore, 1 pushed on with my own and Lightfoot's Column to- wards Jhitowra, and meeting Colonel Turner, I direct- ed him to proceed at once to Suhar on the Soane, to anticipate any movement of the enemy across the river into Behar. It subsequently transpiring that the enemy had turned eastwards , I therefore , at 8 r . M. , despatched Major Sir Henry Havelock with all the disposable Cavalry and mounted Riflemen of the 10th Foot , directing him to march rapidly through Arrah , and then proceed up the left bank of the Soane ; at 10 P. M. , I despatched Colonel Walter, with his Infantry only, to follow the Cavalry towards Nan- Sagor, moving direct on that place, and thus taking a more northerly line than that on which the Rebels were marching ; they would have a force both north and south moving parallel to them, while Major Sir H. Havelock's Force , moving along a good road the whole way , would, I anticipated , be in time to turn them off from the Soane. Orders were also sent to the 4 Companies of Madras Rifles on the right bank of the Soane to be on the alert . Halting during the night of the 18th at Narainpore, I marchod at day- break on the 19th, to Arrah (where I left the Madras Battery guns and the mortars) with a view of crossing the Soane at Koelwar ghat if necessary .

tance , when the darkness of the night , and the heavy nature of the ground, rendering further pursuit use- less , I halted and bivouacked in front of the village of Mujhowlee. In this affair the enemy's precipitate flight and the lateness of the day saved them from severe loss , but they loft some 30 Sepoys dead on the field. 22nd October, information having reached me that the enemy had fled south through Huldheea, I accordingly moved at 7 o'clock A. M. in that direc- tion. Here I found Major Sir Henry Havelock , who , having passed the night at Lethan, had marched at day-break for Huldheea .

After he had halted 2 hours , I sent him south to Looloonee . In the meanwhile the Rebels , on the even- ing of the 21st , enabled by their superior local know- ledge , and having the whole country in their inter- ests to elude us , had doubled due west, making for Dinareh and Kochas, a party of them moving through Bhanpore. This , however, was not ascertained for some hours afterwards , and supposing that they had gone south, I regained the direct Sasseram road, and marched to Bickorumgung, whilst Colonel Walter was ordered to move parallel to me, 3 miles distant on my right flank . The Cavalry meanwhile had moved from Looloonee, nearly due west to Bhanpore, and thence to Dinarch, and Major Sir Henry Have- lock sending back his information to Colonel Walter, that Officer followed in support towards Dinarch . Resting 4 hours at Dinareh, the Cavalry pressed on to Kochas, and hearing that Major Havelock had reached that place, and thence proceeded south , I marched on the morning of the 23rd from Bickrum- gunge to Khuradee , which I reached about 8 r . M. Colonel Walter halted that night about 4 miles to the south of Kochas . The final skirmish between the Rebel Force and the Cavalry had now taken place near the village of Gourie , 13 miles north of the Grand Trunk Road, with only partial success , and without having turned them off their line of march for the hills . After this , their flight was continued due south to the Grand Trunk Road, but they were so closely pursued by the Cavalry, that they had no time to do the slightest damage . Colonel Turner , now at Jehanabad on the Grand Trunk Road, was warned too late of their approach . He made an attempt to cut them off , but his guns and Cavalry coming un- expectedly on an impassable nullah , he was compelled to abandon the pursuit . The Column under my command arrived at Jehanabad on the morning of the 24th, about 12 hours after the Cavalry, and was followed that same evening by Colonel Walter ; both Columns halted. Colonel Turner had already despatch- ed the Cavalry under Sir IH . Havelock towards the hills, te which point he was himself about to follow ; they returned next morning , not having been able to overtake the Rebels . 1 then directed Colonel Turner to take his Column along the left bank of the Soane to watch the Passes in the Kymore.hills , and to pre- vent the enomy crossing into Palamon. I also de- tached 3 posts from my own Column to watch the passes on the Shahabad side of the hills .

Although it has been to me a source of some regret that my plans for surrounding and compelling the enemy to fight in his entrenchment of Jugdeespore , which had been concerted after the most careful and anxious deliberation , should have been frustrated by the unavoidable absence of one of my Columns on the morning of the assault , yet I venture to flatter myself that the pursuit which subsequently followed was sustained by such unwearied energy and vigour, and was marked by a success so signal , that I was more than conpensated for my previous disappoint- ment , and I have no hesitation in saying that this pursuit would have been still more destructive to the enemy , had they not been artfully screened by the inhabitants , every individual of whom , throughout the length and breadth of the District , ystematically attempted to mislead and deceive us , and it was only by the most rigid and searching enquiry that we were enabled to keep on the trail of the fugitives During the night I heard that the Rebels , headed and turned by the Forces which had been sent in pur- suit, had halted during the night of the 18th, at Bul- lageon , about ( 6) six miles cast of Jugdcespore, and had moved the next day to (Hud- hunee, towards which place 1 followed them on the 20th sending orders to Colonel Walter, who had remained the whole of the 19th near Gudhunee ,to follow up the enemy, who, on my ap- proach, turning south- east from that place to Sheopore , had eventually gone due south towards Baruth . Having first been misledby false inforination to Sheopore , I myself regained the Peeroo road, and marched so as to move on the right flank of the enemy, and halted that night at Peeroo, (33 miles ' march) . Sir Henry Havelock meanwhile , having also heard at Nan - Sagor , at 3 A. M. , that the rebels had passed the night of the 19th at Ghud- hunee, had marched at 7 A. M. , direct for that place, and thence after ine to Sheopore , from which place I now despatched him in pursuit of the enemy towards Baruth. His report will describe the successful skirmish at Nonadee , in which, by his co- operation , Colonel Turner's Column was enabled to hem in and kill 400 of the Rebels , besides 100 more who made direct for the Soane, retracing their steps on finding themselves cut off from the main body , and who were ridden down and sabred almost to a man by his Cavalry near Pooruhura. Colonel Walter , fol- lowing the main body due south , bivouacked that night to the south of Nonadee near Sukreta, where Colonel Turner's and Sir Henry Havelock's Forces wore also assembled . 21st October, intelligence reach- ing me during the night that the enemy had gone to Suhejnce , I marched from Peeroo in pursuit at 5 4. M. but about 6-30 л. м . , I ascertained that they had turned west , and were supposed to be making for the south of the jungle ; it was some hours before certain information could be obtained. I then learnt that the enemy had gone to Koath Kas, for which place 1 immediately marched . The Cavalry had now reached Suhejnee , from which place Sir Henry Have- lock rode over to my Force for orders . About noon Idesired him to proceed to Koath Kas . This he did, and reaching it about 4-30 P. M. , engaged the Rebels , whom he found cooking , and drove them through the town in an casterly diruction , killing and wounding agreat many . About this time, 5 P. M. , the Column under my command , which had been marching all day, came in view of the enemy , who, pressed by the Cavalry from the wost, were in considerable commo- tion, and ovidently preparing to move off from the strong position they had taken up . A walled village, surrounded by a deep moat, and a succession of en- closed gardens covered their left , and a mass of dense topes of trees flanked their right . A small party of the enemy's Cavalry were drawn up to my right front , and appearod disposed to threaten the baggage, which 1 immediately closed up, and forthwith prepared for action . A strong body of about 400 Rebels , who 'were occupying a tope of trees on my left, evincing a resolute determination to hold their position , 1 orderod up Captain Simeon's guns , covered by a Company of the 84th undor Major Lightfoot . A smart fire was poured upon the guns, The Artillery prae- tice was excollent, and several shells , bursting in the very midst of the Robols, threw them into confusion, and the Company of the 84th rushing forward at this opportune moment , speedily cleared the enclosure, and drove the Robels headlong before them . In the moantime, the 35th Regiment , in skirmishing order, advanced rapidly on the main body, who were retir ing by our right , still pressed closely by the Cavalry . 1 continued following the Rebels for some little dis- [ 28 ]

SIR,

A LARGE body of insurgents being report- ed in the neighbouring hills (said to be 1,500) who aremuch disturbing the Country , it occurs to me that we should hardly be performing our dutyto Govern- ment without attacking them .

Putna is a fortified town and hill , with a deep jungle on one, and some jungle on all sides . It was stormed in May last by a Detachment 31st Bengal Native Infantry , uuder Captain Finch and Lieute- nant Fellowes ; but the town was not destroyed , as it should have been . It is one of the resorts of Jah- gurh Bundeelas, and will probably be re -occupied by them in a week .

I have, &c. , (Signed) F. WHELER, Brigadier , Comdg. SaugorDistrict .

If, therefore, you will favor me with your co- opera- tion to the extent of 100 Rank and File , halfEuropean and half Native, I think our united resources willbo sufficient for their discomfiture and dispersion , and in such a cause I feel assured, the Brigadier Command- ing at Saugor will fully approve of such a proceeding .

As leader of the advance party, we may fairly attri- bute to you our success in the first place; and the steady conduct of your Officers and Men , under the sharp fire they encountered, I myself witnessed .

FROM THE MAJOR-GENERAL COMMANDING M. D. A., TO THE ADJUTANT GENERAL OF THE ARMY , Head Quarters , M. D. A. ,

Camp Kurai, 26th October 1858.

SIR,

Colonel Curtis, on the right, did not come up with any body of the enemy, who wore on his side princi- pally Cavalry, and was unable to advance very far, as the enemy threatened our long line of baggage . Cap- tain Sir W. Gordon Commanded a body consisting of the 17th Lancers , and 3rd Light Cavalry under Cap- tain Oldfield pursued for about 6 miles , and as usual did his duty very efficiently and well , cutting up num-

bers of the enemy. Captain Mayne, with about 60 of his Horse, did thorough good service, pursuing the enemy for 9 or 10 miles, and killing about 150.

I HAVE the honor to inform you, for the information of His Lordship the Commander - in - Chief, thathaving arrived at Lullutpoor on the 22nd instant, with Force as per margin, information was brought to me that the enemy had been checked at the Syrus Ghat of the Betwah, and had rapidly returned to Jaclone . This place is about 8 miles South South - West of Lullut- pore.

6. The Infantry followed about 5 miles , clearing villages of the enemy, and occasioning them some loss ; the result of the day's proceedings was the cut- ting off , and driving to the North , about 3,000 of the Rebels ,of which about 350 were killed : one half of the remainder threw down their arms, and the remainder were so spread over the face of the country as to make 20 II .

It will be seen by the Map that the enemy , on the night of the 23rd, were 8 miles nearer , Kurai by the jungle route ; and as this could not be traversed by the Force under my Command, so the enemy were , in fact ,at least 20 miles nearer to Kurai than ourselves . 9. The Infantry, by 1 o'clock P.

If it be intended to send a letter by way of Marseilles, it must be so marked and an addi- tional Postage of 2 annas for every quarter of an ounce paid upon it .

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

on its cover. 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, will be 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 Look, & 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 .

Oth.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 will be 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 Packet, charged with full Postage as an unpaid letter , together with an additional Book - rate ; that is, with the Postage chargeable on a Book weighing not more than half a lo 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 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 .

[ 54 ]

9th .-No Book - Packet weighing more than three Ios 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 .

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 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 shall be attended to, except in the case of letters received for delivery .

Act No. XVII . of 1854 .

G. F. EDMONSTONE , Secy, to the Govt. of India, with the Gour. - Genl .

While the conduct of the Officers and Men en- gaged in these operations has given the Governor General the highest satisfaction, His Lordship re- grets that it has been accompanied by the loss of [ 64 ]

suit, had followed the Rebels in the direction of Kooelee, that he had suddenly come under the fire of that Fort, and requested support .

R. J. H. BIRCH , Major- General, Secy. to the Gort. of India , Mily . Dept. , with the Govr . -Genl.

It being still early in the day, and Captain Steel having arranged with the Karinda of the Chowdry of Lorbela for the demolition of the Fort of Rehora, I considered it an object to have an additional day to dismantle that of Kooelee before rejoining the Bri- gadier ; as also more advisable to support the Pun- jabees than to withdraw them from such a distance.

No. 1682 .

FROM THE ADJUTANT GENERAL OF THE ARMY, TO THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVT. OF INDIA,

I therefore resumed my march, and about half past twelve o'clock arrived before Kooelee, which , accord- ing to the information I received, was held by from 100 to 200 Robels , of whom some 50 or 60 were said to be regular Sepoys .

Military Department , with the Governor General . A similar offer of terms was made but rejected . Avillage between the road by which we approached and the Fort was then cleared by the fire of the 2 mortars and of 2 Companies of the Madras Fusiliers , whom I placed on the bank of the river to watch the ghat, and also prevent the Rebels from doubling back . I then moved, with the mortars and the remainder of the Fusiliors , round the village to the West face of the Fort, of which I obtained a viow at a distance of about 350 yards .

SIR, I HAVE the honor , by direction of the Com- mander - in- Chief, to forward, for the information of the Right Hon'ble the Governor General , a letter in original , from Lieutenant - Colonel M. Galwey , C. B. , 1st Madras Fusiliers , Commanding Field Detachment , dated 24th ultimo, with annexments , reporting the capture of two small Forts in the vicinity of Maho- nah ; and I amto express Lord Clyde's regret that Captain Scott, of the Madras Engineers , who had already achieved a good reputation as an Officer should have fallen in these operations.

While a fire was kept up by the mortars and the supporting Company of Fusiliers , the place was more closely reconnoitredby Captain Scott , Field Engineer , and myself, until we discovered the approach to the gate, and a position from which the Artillery fire would be more effective .

TO THE MAJOR OF BRIGADE , with Brigadier Horsford, C. B. Camp Kooelee, 24th November 1858 .

To this latter the mortars and the two guns were brought , and the latter in a short time opened a prac- ticable breach in the wall in front of the gate , but as this only served to disclose the fact of the approach being strongly flanked by defences, on which the Ar- tillery with me could have little effect, and as I did not consider the speedy possession of a place of this nature worth the sacrifice of life it must have entailed, I decided on suspending operations till I should re- ceive further instructions from the Brigadier, and withdrew the Troops to Camp , which had been pitch- about a mile from the Fort, and from which pio- quets were thrown out to prevent the egress of the Rebels on this side the river . ed

About midnight , information reached me that the Rebels had evacuated the Fort , crossed the Goomtee , and fled to Kyarnowgong . The forıner intelligence I found this morning to be correct .

SIR, I HAVE the honor to report , for the in- formation of Brigadier Horsford, C. B. , that agreeably to instructions received, I marched from Mahonah with the Troops as per margin, at day- break yesterday , and at about half past eight o'clock arrived before the small Fort of Rehora , situa- ted on the right bank of the Goomtee, about nine miles fromMahonah.

Itgrieves me deeply to have to report the loss on our part of Captain Scott, Field Engineer, who was shot while endeavouring moro nearly to reconnoitre the gate . I need not dilate on his value, as it was well known to the Brigadier, but must express my sorrow at being unable to return him my thanks for his zealous and active services during the day.

Ihalted the Troops , while Captain Steel, the Civil Offi- cer with the Detachment , sent Her Majesty's Procla- mation into the Fort, with an intimation to the Rebels , of whom there were about 200, ( fifty or sixty being Sepoys of the regular army) that on their laying down their arms they would be

I have nothing further to report than that the con- . duct of both Officers and Men was admirable, although they were under arms for a protracted period without being allowed that full play to their efforts which would have secured them instant success . The Artil- lery and the supporting Companies of Fusiliers work- ed gallantly and steadily under a harassing fire .

Captain Steel, Assistant Commissioner, afforded me every assistance in his power .

I have the honor to enclose a return of Casualties , as also of the captured munitions of war.

spared. An answer was shortly received to the effect that the Fort and all the munitions of war it contained would be surrendered without opposition. Captain Steel accordingly entered the Fort, followed by the Detachment of the Punjab Rifles, but found that many of the Rebels were escaping with their arms, some across the Goomtee, which runs close under the wall of the Fort, and sometowards Kooelee , a Fort about two miles higher up the river. The Punjabees poured a fire into them, and followed the latter along the bank of the river in the direction of Kooelee , while I took the Horse Artillery Guns , supported by Cavalry and Infantry, round to intercept the fugitives , but owing to the numerous ravines intersecting the high bank, did not arrive in time to do more than throw a few shells into such bodies as were still within range on the opposite side .

From intelligence which I received about noon yes- terday, the Brigadier determined to make a night attack, and attempt a surprise . The Rebels , at least dehra and then moved on to Dahar, from thence after 250 in number, yesterday morning plundered Bur- dark to Sulya in the same valley, about 12 miles from this place ; not a word was said to any one, but at half- past seven a sinall Force was quietly got under arms , and marched off without noise ; the intelligence was perfect, although we were afraid the moon, which was bright , would betray us ; but we took no bag- gage , so were enabled to move quietly. When we reached Dahar, it was about 11 P. M. , and we found the enemy had left their quarters at Dahar , after night fall, and gone to Sulya, but were still there so we moved on quietly till, on the East of the village, on the bank of the Soorah river , we saw their watch fires in the open, under 3 or 4 largo Pepul trees . The Brigadier immediately extended part of the Force in skirmishing order , and the whole rapidly, but silently, advanced . The only sentry they had awake was bay- oneted without a murmur, and the enemy did not per- cave us till we were within 20 yards of them ; and to complete their confusion a withering volley from about 100 Rifles was poured into them , and with a cheer we rushed on with the bayonet . About 50 at least of the enemy were killed ; how many more I cannot say, as we followed them up sharp into the jungle, and several lenders sunk in the river. The surprise was so complete , and their confusion so great, that they did not attempt to fire a single shot, but tried their bestto get away . They were all Sepоув of the 40th , 37th , 72nd, 5th, 18th, and other Corps, and a Subadar of the 72nd was killed. We took 116 muskets and matchlocks , the latter of which we broke them (?) away, having no carriage , 153 swords , their cooking pots and 16 ponies, all their clothes , they had not time to put on their shoes , a number more ofmus- kets are scattered in the jungle , and several are known to be in the river. They took away very few, if any weapons with them, and I think that party maybe considered as fairly dispersed .

Finding that the main body appeared, by the noise and dust , to betoour right , I wheeled to the right, and followed for about a mile, when we came upon a body of the enemy in a tope of trees , with a bank in front, who appeared deterinined to make a stand, and who opened a very sharp fire , by which 2 Drivers of the Ar- tillery were unfortunately wounded.

This party were evidently Sepoys, as their fire waz that of drilled men .

As it was impossible to charge , owing to the ground in which they were , we gave them several rounds of case, which had the effect of at once starting them , and we afterwards found several dead bodies in this tope.

We then pushed on , the enemy being all now in full flight, dropping their arms , baggage, lotas, slip- pers , &c. , on the way, and all makingnakingig straight towards theGoomtee .

No. 620 of 1859.-The Right Hon'ble the Governor General is pleased to direct the publi- cation of the following Despatch from Lieutenant- Colonel Sir William Russell ,illiam Russell, Baronet, Her Ma- jesty's 7th Hussars , reporting the particulars of an engagement with the Rebels under Bance Ma- dho, near Jugdespore, (Oudh) on the 20th No- vember last.

R. J. H. BIRCH , Major- Genl ., Secy. to the Govt. of India, Mily . Dept. , with the Govr. - Genl .

The country had become very difficult for Cavalry and Artillery, without Infantry, and it was nearly dark . On again overtaking them, and coming within about 200 yards of a large body of them in full flight , our Artillery gave them eight parting rounds of caso , which appeared much to expedite their movements , and as it was now a quarter past 6, the sun had set , and it was dark, we at once started for Camp .

TO THE BRIGADE MAJOR, Brigadier Horsford's Field Force.

Idid not consider the ground in which we were , over which we had been riding for the last three miles , as at all safe for Cavalry and Artillery to picquet in for the night, and therefore decided at once on return- ing to Camp.

Camp Hydergurh , 30th November 1858 .

SIR, I HAVE the honor to report, for the in-

From the information we received, we must have . been about a mile and a half or two miles from the river, and I do not believe there was any chance of the enemy stopping until they were well on the other side of it, from the rapidity with which they were going when we left them.

As far as I could ascertain , the number of the enemy killed must have been about 50 men .

formation of the Brigadier, that yesterday after noon, November the 20th, immediately on receiving the order, the Force as per margin paraded and left Camp. exactly at 3 P. M. , to pursue the force of the Sabres under Major F. W. Horne . ... 235 enemy under Banee Madho , which was re- ported to have crossed the Jugdespore Road about 8 miles from

Camp, on its way towards the Goomtee .

The Sowars of Hodson's Horse under command of Lieutenant T. J. Watson behaved very well. They cut up some of the enemy , and I regret to say that 3 of them were wounded ..

The Force arrived in Camp at past 10 P. M. , hav- ing marched about 23 or 24 miles .

My orders being to pursue them towards the river, hasten their movements , and compel them if possible o cross , and not to let them fall back on Jugdespore , talso to avoid all the nullahs near the river , 25 Sowars were sent forward to obtain information .

The Force proceeded rapidly for about 6 miles on the Jugdespore Road, when we came upon the traces of the enemy, where they had crossed the road ; we at once turned off to the left , and followed their tracks for about 3 miles at a gallop .

My thanks are due to Major F. W. Horne, who com- manded the 7th Hussars , and gave me every asнів- tance ; to Major the Honorable D. McD . Fraser, who commanded the Royal Horse Artillery , for the energy and skill he displayed in the management of his guns over a very difficult country ; to Lieutenant T. J. Watson , of the 46th Native Infantry, Interpreter to the 7th Hussars , who commanded the Detachment of Hodson's Horse in a most efficient manner, and was of great service to me in obtaining information .

I have, & c. , The Sowars who had been sent on, now returned and brought us good information, and we also heard from some villagers that the enemy had halted , and were taking their dinners in some topes of trees , a short distance in our front .

The ground had now become very difficult for Artillery and Cavalry to move rapidly over, being full of very wide ditches, and parts of it very jungly and wooded.

After going about a quarter of a mile further we found a large body of the enemy in a tope , who at once open- ed fire on us with their muskets and matchlocks, and their Cavalry came out to the front of the tope .

The increnso in the amount of the Bank Establishment, compared with that exhibited in the Statement for the Half-year ending 30th June 1858, arises from the increase to the Salaries of the Native Officers in the Accountant's and Depositor's Departments , as noticed in the last Report .

The sums expended upon Buildings and Repairs amount to Rupees 111.

The NET PROFIT on the business of the IIalf-year is equal to a Dividend at the rate of Rs . 10-3-23 . per annum on the Capital Stock.

Frauds have been discovered to have been perpetrated by some of the subordinate Native Officers of the Bank Note Exchange Department, in surreptitiously introducing lost and stolen notes intoparcels of notes intended for cancellation, and taking therefrom notes of a like amount . The guilty parties have not yet been detected, but those Officers upon whom strong suspicion rested ofbeing accessories to the frauds , have been dismissed , and a more efficient system of check to such practices introduced . The full amount Rs . 20,100, thus fraudulently abstracted , has been recovered from the Khazanchee, who has the appointment of, and is responsible for, the fidelity of the Officers of the Department ..

Legislative Council of India .

THE 8TH JANUARY 1859 ..

THE following Act, passed by the Legislative Council of India, received the assent of the Right Honorable the Governor General on the 30th De cember 1858 (communicated to the Legislative Council on the 8th January 1959 ) , and is hereby promulgated for general information :-

Act No. XLI of 1858 .

An Act to amend Regulation X. 1820 of the Bengal Code (for the collection of Stamp Butics.)

WHEREAS , by the General Rule laid down at the end of Schedule A annexed to Preamble . Regulation X. 1829 of the Ben-

Proviso as regards Deeds &c . tobe here- after executed.

II . Every Deed , Instrument, or Document specified in the said Schedule, which is or shall be contained in more than one sheet or piece of paper or other material , shall be deemed to be sufficient- Stamp on Deods - contain contained in more than one sheet of ore paper, ly stamped if any one or more of such sheets or pieces of paper or other material shall bear the requisite stamp, or stamps equal in value to the re- quisite stamp, whether the signatures or seals of the parties and witnesses shall or shall not be upon such sheet or sheets . The above provision shall apply to Deeds , Instruments, and Documents exe- cuted before this Act, as well as to Deeds, Instru- ments, and Documents which shall rereafter be executed. Provided as regards Deeds , Instruments , and Docu- ments which shall be executed after the first day of January 1859 , that every sheet or piece of paper or other material which shall contain any part of such Deed, Instrument, or Document shall be stamped with a Government Stamp of the value of at least one anna .

III . In any case in which a Deed, Instrument , or Document has been rejected

Review of judg ment in certain cases in which Deeds & c . have been rejected as not stamped.

by any Court upon the ground that the same was not stamped within the meaning of the above-mentioned Rule, anyparty injured by the decision may gal Code, itisdeclared that, ifany Deed, Instrument , or Document specified in that Schedule shall not be contained in one sheet or piece of paper or other material , it shall suffice that one sheet shall bear the stamp, provided that the seals or signatures of the parties and witnesses be thereupon : and where- as the said Rule has boen productive of inconve- nience, and there is reason to believe that many Deeds , Instruments , and Documents have bren executed since the said Regulation camo into effect in respect of which the said Rule has not been complied with; and it is expedient to repeal the said Rule, and to provide for the recoption in evi- dence of such Deeds as aforesaid ;It is declared and enacted as follows:-

I. The above Rule is here-

Part of Schedule A Regulation X. 1829 repealed.

obtain a review of judgment if the application be made within six months from the passing of this Act, and if the Courtto which the application is made be satisfied that the Deed , Instrument , or Document , if admitted, would have led to [ 122 ]

a different decision upon the merits of the case.

5. I have no reason to think that there has been any exclusion of Christians , as such from the Public Service in any of the other Presidencies . It will nevertheless be proper to communicate to the several subordinate Governments the result of the enquiries made in Bengal, and the approval which the general principle there acted on has re- ceived from me in Council .

IV. Nothing in the last preceding Section shall extend to any case in which a final decision was given more than six years before the Operation of Sec- tion III limited . passing of this Act .

No. 133 .

W. MORGAN, Clerk of the Council .

Home Department .

No. 130 . Port William, the 15th January 1859 .

Messrs H. Morris , H. LePoer Wynne, C. W. P. Watts and A. Brown, appointed by the Right IIon'Hon'ble the Secretary of State for India, Members of the Civil Service in the Bengal Establishment , reported their arrival at the Presidency, the first - named Gentleman per Steam- ship Bengal which reached the Sand - heads on the 1st instant, and the other three per Steam- ship Simla which reached the Sand-heads on the 10th idem.

Notification . The following Despatch , No. 36 of 1858, dated the 30th November, from the Right Hon'ble the Secretary of State for India, is pub- lished for general information : -

No. 139 . The 18th January 1859 .

The Hon'ble the President in Council in plea- sed to grant to Captain R. Murray, Deputy Su- perintendent of Electric Telegraphs in the North- Western Provinces and Punjanb , leave of absence for three months from the 15th October last , in- stead of eight weeks , as notified on the 17th ultimo, preparatory to his applying in the Military Depart- ment for Furlough to Europe .

CECIL BEADON, Secy, to theGovt. of India .

Para. 1. In your letter , dated the 14th August (No. 100) 1858 , you report that , in " order to test theaccuracy of an opinion which the Lieutenant- "Governor of Bengal believed tobe gaining " ground both in England and in India to the " effect that Native Christians were excluded from "einployment in the Public Service in this coun- " try, as such, and because they were Christians, "without reference to their fitness, " Mr. Halliday had called on the principal Officers employed under his jurisdiction for a report as to " the employment " of Native Christians in the Public Service or " their exclusion from it . " And you forward an abstract of the replies made to this reference, a copy of which you caused to be placed on the Editor's table at Calcutta, with a view to its ob- taining the publicity desired by the Lieutenant- Governor .

Foreign Department . No. 157 . Fort William, the 17th January 1850 .

Captain D. C. Vanrenen, Revenue Surveyor, 1st or Eastern Division, Nagpore Survey , has obtained leave of absence on Medical Certificate for six weeks to proceed to Bombay preparatory to applying for further leave to Europe.

No. 158 . The 18th January 1859 .

2. It is evident from the replies made to the enquiries of the Lieutenant- Governor, that no grounds exist for the impression which it was the object of Mr. Halliday to remove ; and that the true explanation of the comparatively small num- ber of that class who are engaged in the Public Service, is to be found in their small number in respect to the rest of the population, their generally low standard of qualification , and their pre- ference either for trade or agriculture, or, in the case of those better educated, for employment in

The leave of absence granted to Mr. F. Cooper, Deputy Commissioner in the Punjab, in General Order of the 31st ultimo, No. 4333, is cancelled at that Officer's request .

No. 159 . The Reverend Mr. Crofton , Chaplain of Thayet- myo , has been appointed to officiate at Rangoon .

No. 160 .

connection with Missionary operations . 3. This result of the enquiries of the Lieute- nant- Governor is such as I should have been pre- pared to expect , and is quite satisfactory . As far as can be judged from the replies of the different Officers, the principle on which they have acted is that the applicant best qualified for the vacant situation should be appointed, whatever might be his Creed. This is the correct principle which ought to guide Public Officers in the selection of individuals for subordinate employment , and it is accordingly unnecessary to issue any fresh orders for the guidance of the Public Officers in the Bengal Presidency in this matter .

The Hon'ble the President in Council directs the publication of the names of the following Assistant Commissioners in the Punjab , who have passed for the Higher Standard at the Examination of No- vember 1858 :-

Lieutenant T. F. Forster .

دو R. O. T. Nicolls . C. C. Minchin ,

دو دو W. M. Lane .

E. H. Paske .

4. It is proper, however, that any misappre. hension which may exist on this subject among persons unconnected with the Public Service should be corrected ; and I trust that this object will have been sufficiently attained by your having caused the abstract of replies to be thrown open to the conductors of the Public Press .

SIR,

No. 86 .

Foreign Department , Allahabad , the 10th January 1859 .

I have the honor to inform you , for His Lord- ship the Commander- in - Chief's information, that hav- ing marched on the 18th instant from Balabeit to Narhut, for the purpose of covering Tehree , I received information at midnight that the enemy had marched from Lullutpoor to Sindwaho, and were that night at that place and the neighbouring villages , evidently with an intention of turning the protected ghats of the Jamni River , and passing to the East .

waho, Force as per 2. At 4 A. M. , 19th October, I marched for Sind- margin, expecting to reach it before the Rebels had passed Mr. C. J. H. Richardes , Deputy Commissioner of Paneeput , having been transferred to the North- Western Provinces , the Right Honorable the Go- vernor General is pleased to sanction the follow- ing promotions , recommended by the late Chief Commissioner :-

beyond it ; however the dark- ness of the morning , and the impossibility of finding the road prevented our arrival , until about half past 8 л. M. , when I found the Rebels (aware of our approcah from a bugle having been sounded contrary to orders) drawn up on a hill beyond Sindwaho , on the road Captain Adams, Assistant Commissioner 1st Class, to be Deputy Commissioner 3rd Class .

Captain Nicolls, Assistant Commissioner 3rd Class, to be Assistant Commissioner 2nd Class .

4. As I did not intend to permit them to proceed to the East, so I rapidly advanced with a portion of my Cavalry parallel to their extreme left .

G. F. EDMONSTONE , Secy, to the Govt. of India, with the Govr. -Genl .

5. The enemy, aware of my intention, came down in strength and boldly attacked the Cavalry ( 8th Hussars and 1st Bombay Lancers ) ; but were gallant- ly charged and driven back by those Regiments and 17th Lancers .

General Orders by the Right Hon'ble the Governor General of India .

6. The Horse Artillery , having now arrived on the ground with the rest of the Cavalry, were played upon by the enemy's guns .

Military Department, Allahabad, the 6th January 1859 .

7. At this moment the Infantry were required ; and Captain Cameron with the 92nd Highlanders , Colonel Hope with 71st Regiment , both in line , and Captain LeMarchand's 9-pounder battery came up on our left flank , followed by the 19th Regiment Native Infantry on their left rear, and drove the enemy up the hill .

8. The enemy then tried to turn both Hanks , and the Horse Artillery and some Cavalry were so hardly pressed on the right by the enemy, posted in a field of high corn , as to enforce the necessity of bringing up the 19th Native Infantry, and grape was eventu- ally necessary to drive the Rebels back .

No. 621 of 1859. The Right Hon'ble the Go vernor General is pleased to direct the publica- tion of the following Despatch from Major -General Michel , C. B. , Commanding Malwa Division, No. 373, dated 22nd October 1858, reporting an en- gagement with the enemy between Sindwaho and Marownee, on the 19th October 1858 .

9. The 92nd Highlanders also had to wheel to their left , and resist a flank attack on our.extreine left .

His Lordship desires to record his entire con- currence in the approbation expressed by His Excellency the Commander- in - Chief, in regard to these operations.

10. The 71st Regiment still advanced steadily to the front up the hill under Lieutenant- Colonel Hope, and drove the enemy back ; and the 4 guns of the enemy were captured by the combined movement of the 71st and 92nd Regiments .

R. J. H. BIRCH , Major-Genl ., Secy. to the Govt . of India, Mily . Dept. , with the Gorr. -Genl.

11. The enemy now retreated at all points , and a general pursuit was made ; the heaviness of the ground, being nearly all cultivated land and its broken [ 129 ]

nature, caused the pursuit to be slow . The enemy constantly rallied, or rather got massed, and Lieute- nant- Colonel Blake with his Horse Artillery , and Cap- tain LeMarchand with his Horse Battery , were fre- quently obliged to open fire to compel their retreat.

17. On one occasion, after the enemy's Cavalry had been repulsed, Lieutenant-Colonel Curtis's Column of Cavalry were brought to a check by a deep gully ; some few got across , gallantly led by some young Offi- cers of various Corps , who all had personal encount- ers with the enemy, and whose merits are recorded by Lieutenant -Colonel Curtis. In all these records 12. The pursuit was continued about 9 miles , and was eventually checked by the extreme difficulty of the country and its jungly nature, and the division of the enemy's force into small parties .

15. Colonel DeSalis specially records the steadiness ofthe Horse Artillery under Lieutenant-Colonel Blake, when attacked by the enemy's Infantry in close proxi- mity in some high jo waree crops .

20. In recording the general good conduct of the Troops , I may state, that as on the Cavalry the whole of the loss of the day fell, so they did their duty well and gallantly. But I cannot refrain from ex- pressing my admiration of that spirit of chivalrous endurance , which , during a rapid march of at least 20 miles over broken country, enabled our Infantry to keep almost up to the Cavalry, nor from recording a fact which shows the spirit of the British Soldier , that, notwithstanding the heat, when the firing com- menced , all the sick of the 71st and 92nd Regiments could not be restrained, but fell into the ranks , and so remained to the close of the day.

21. The result of this day's operations was the capture of 4 guns , and 500 of the enemy left dead on the field. The Nawab of Banda's palki, bloody, and evidently just evacuated, was captured during the pursuit.

No. 622 of 1859. The name of Lieutenant H. N. D. Prendergast , Madras Engineers, late Assistant Engineer to the Central India Field Force, who had received three severe and dun- gerous sabre wounds, in the action on the 1st April last, between that Force and the Rebels under Tantia Topec , on the Betwa River near Jhansie, having inadvertently been omitted in the return of Casualties annexed to Major-General Sir Hugh Rose's Despatch, dated the 30th of April 1858, published in General Order Gover- nor General, No. 213, dated 30th June 1858, the Right Hon'ble the Governor General is pleased to direct that that Officer's name shall now be inserted in that Return , next below the name of Captain J. G. Lightfoot , 2nd Company Reserve Artillery .

Cavalry on the left flank of the tope, and pushed for- ward two Companies of the 23rd Regiment to a mound that partly commanded it . The enemy kept up a heavy fire of musketry upon the guns and Infan- try , and after some time retired in rear of the village, closely followed by my Cavalry and Artillery. The two Companies of the 23rd wheeling to their right, were joined by the one in the village, and, together with two Companies of the 7th Police Infantry , finally drove the enemy out of it, two again threw himself into a tope surrounded like the first by a mud wall ; however the effective practice of the Artillery and of the Infantry pressing on from the village , compelled him after firing heavily for some time , to retire ; when I desired Captain Jones to charge with a Squadron of the 1st Seikh Irregular Cavalry, which he did , until brought up by ajheel in his front through which the pursued passed into some high khêts .

Order Books tobe corrected accordingly.

The enemy's Infantry retired in considerable force in the direction of Simree , about three miles from Berah . At a short distance from the road , he sudden- ly came upon a strong rear guard of iny Column un- der Major Miller, Her Majesty's 80th Regiment, who immediately opened fire with his guns and Infantry, effectually dispersing the enemy and driving him off to the South - West .

No. 623 of 1859.-The Right Hon'ble the Governor General is pleased to direct the publica- tion of the subjoined Despatch from Colonel F. Evelegh , C. B. , Commanding Field Force, re- porting an action with the Rebels near the village ofBeerah in Oudh, on the 17th November last .

R. J. II . BIRCH , Major - General,

Secy, to the Govt . of India, Mily . Dept.,

with theGovr. - Genl .

I had an unusually strong rear guard on that day , as Major Bulwer , 23rd Fusiliers , was escorting a large convey ofhackeries, containing a month's supplies for my Force, from Poorwah , a day's march in my rear . I received information on the night of the 16th in- stant that, having made forced marches , he was only eight miles from me, and I therefore directed the rear guard , in the event of hearing firing to the rear, to fall back and support Major Bulwer's escort .

Campat Ginwarra , the 18th November 1858 .

SIR, هر

Artillery.

The enemy's force consisted of about five thousand men, all Sepoys , and four guns ; they were more de- termined, and held their ground better than I had before seen them do, and their fire was at times heavy. We killed about one hundred and twenty men, and took three guns and a gun carriage from which I concluded that the fourth gun had been thrown down some well. The fire of the two guns Bengal Horse Artillery under Majer Bruce, and of the two guns Royal Artillery under Lieutenant Cuthbert, was excel- lent, and materially assisted in driving off the enemy's force .

I HAVE the honor to state for the informa tion of Major- General Sir Hope Grant , K. C. B. , that I marched from Camp, at a village called Bahad- gunge, on the morning of the 17th instant, with the Column as per margin, under

three quarters of a mile beyond it , for the purpose of allowing the hackeries containing the Siege Train Am- munition to close up , when I heard firing to my right rear. 1 immediately proceeded in that direction , fol- lowed by some Cavalry , and found the enemy in force firing into the rear of my Column. On arrival at the ground I ascertained that the enemy's Infantry was posted in a tope surrounded by a mud wall, with guns and Cavalry in rear, about seven hundred vards from the road, and that he also occupied the village of Berah, about four hundred yards to the right of the tope..

My thanks are due to Major Bulwer, Her Majesty's 23rd Regiment, Commanding the escort of hackeries in my rear, for the zeal and activity he evinced in pushing forward to join my Column. Captain Jones brings to my notice the good conduct on the field of the 3rd Squadron 1st Seikh Irregular Cavalry, which charged and took two of the enemy's guns .

I directed two guns Bengal Horse Artillery to open upon the village and tope , one Company Her Majesty's 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers to extend to the left of Berah , whilst another Company of that Regiment and somo Police Cavalry under Lieutenant Chamberlain, turned its right flank . After firing soте roundsthis small Force advanced, and was joined by two guns Royal Artillery and by some Cavalry under Captain Jones . I then placed the four guns and

the road, and preparing to move off to the westward, I ordered to the front two guns of the Horse Battery under Captain Cadell, whom I had cabled up to join me, by a forced march , the previous evening ; 200 of Her Majesty's 13th Light Infantry under Captain Browne, and 100 of the Regiment of Ferozopore under Licute-

SIR, IHAVE the honor to acquaint you, for the information of the Right Hon'ble the Commander- in-

tenant -Colonel Brasyer , C. B. , and the chief portion of the Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry under Major Richard- son, who were in front of the Column ; and directed [ 133 ]

Honorable V. A. Montague , and Lieutenant Bolton, Sub -Assistant Commissary General . Mr. Wingfield, the Commissioner, was present in the field, using every exertion to procure intelligence.

5. We had been out since the morning , nearly nine hours, I ordered the Troops to return and en- camp at Doomureeagunj , where the enemy had some entrenchments and very strong ground, and could have caused us great annoyance and delay if they had held the place with any boldness .

6. I beg to recommend to the particular favor of the Commander - in - Chief, the Officers and Men of all arms of the Force, for their gallantry and cheerful zealous exertions , under many hours of fatigue.

7. On the afternoon of the 26th , I sent an express ordering Captain Howlett, 27th Madras Native In- fantry, with his Detachment, about 500 strong , posted at Intwa, 12 miles North of Doomureeagunj , to march that night to join me, his Detachment being weak , and from its distant position from me , inviting attack . He arrived yesterday morning, at day break , and is posted close to the bank on the other side the river Raptee, covered and protected by two 9- pounder Guns , and Rocket of the Pearl's Naval Brigade, which I ordered into position, at the ghat, on the afternoon of the 26th instant.

8. Every exertion is being made to procure boats for a bridge, to be ready to cross over, and act in co- operation , according to such orders as I may re- ceive from Major- General Sir Hope Grant , K. C. B. , but will attack and disperse any body of Rebels to be got at in our vicinity, as at lutwa now held by them .

this party to move off to the left in the direction the enemy were reported to be . The guns and Cavalry were pushed on at once , and Captain Cadell carried along his guns with great spirit and rapidity, with the Cavalry. While I was proceeding with this party, 1 received an urgent message from the Officer of the Advance Guard of the Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry, that a large body of Infantry and Sowars were advancing down upon us , from the Doomureeagunj Road . 1 im- mediately returned to order up the other two Horse Battery Guns , 100 of Her Majesty's 13th Light In- fantry, 30 Marines and Seamen of the Pearl's Naval Brigade, 50 of the Regiment of Ferozepore, and some of the 6th Madras Cavalry from the rear of the Column. This party, under the immediate Command ofMajor Tyler , Her Majesty's 13th Light Infantry, had not advanced far up the road, when I discovered the enemy had broken and fled, some towards Doo- mureeagunj , where it appears they got over the Rap- tee, and part up the river bank to the left . In the meantime , the first party on the left had come up into action with the enemy, rapidly driving them out of heavy cultivation and groves towards the West and the winding river to the North. A small gun with limber was captured, and about 80 killed ; nearly all Sepoys cut down by the Cavalry and shot by the guns and musketry, Captain Cadell's guns doing heavy exe- cution, besides a number shot and drowned in the Raptee ; and by reports since received , the enemy must have perished in great numbers in their endea- vours to cross the river , for a large party were driven up the river bank by a reinforcement I was bringing up to the Troops on the left , as, from the fire continu- ing, I was apprehensive that Bala Rao had pushed up some Troops from Bithoriah Ghat, which had not crossed the Raptee . A party with one gun came up the river on the opposite bank and opened fire on our Troops , but Captain Cadell opening upon them , their fire soon ceased .

2. I regret very much to report that Captain Giffard, Second in Command, Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry , was killed, being shot while gallantly leading a charge . This excellent Officer is a great loss to his Regiment and the Service .

9. On the afternoon of the 22nd November, in Camp at Captaingunj , intelligence was received that Bala Rao had left Bungaon, and Mahomed Hossen for the North, in the direction of Bansee. At 4 o'clock the next morning , I marched for Doomureeagunj , arriving in time, on the 26th , to prevent my Detach- ment at Iutwa being obliged to fall back, and the probable advance of Bala Rao on the town of Ban- soc. He is now with his army at Kumsar and Pokur Bitwa, near Biskohur, on the borders of Oudh , with intention, it is supposed , of moving on to Toolseepore , where another Rebel Force, of about

3,000 or 4,000, is said tobe collected. 10. I beg to annex a Casualty List , which I am happy to say is light .

During my temporary absence, Lieutenant- Colonel Cox, Her Majesty's 18th Light Infantry , and Officiating Deputy Assistant Quarter Master General , took the immediate Command on the left of the field. with his usual ability and judgment .

On arrival there , I found that they had all left that morning in the direction of Bunkus- sea ; but whilst proceeding to reconnoitre, 1 suddenly came upon their main body, (said to be about 4,000) both Cavalry and Infantry , on the edge of the jungle, from which they opened fire with 8 guns upon us . I immediately brought up the 2 guns of the picquet under Lieutenant Maxwell , Royal Horse Artillery, which speedily silenced one of the guns , and being joined soon afterwards by the other guns and some Infantry, I advanced the latter in skirmishing order to clear the jungle, the Rebels' guns having by this time ceased firing .

IV. At about 5 A. M. , on the morning of the 4th , I left a strong guard of the 50th Madras Native Infantry to guard the standing Camp, and with the Guns and Cavalry, Detachment 43rd Light Infantry , and 110 Bayonets of the 50th Madras Native Infantry, marched to attack the enemy in his very strong posi- tion near Tola Kanjharan . On nearing this place , I halted the Troops and proceeded with Captain Saw- ers and Lieutenant Johnson to reconnoitre , when we were fired on from the village by what afterwards proved to be a picquet of the enemy, which retreated as we advanced . Seving a large body of the enemy on an eminence at about 1,000 yards distance, on our left front, the guns were brought up , and a few rounds of spherical case caused them to shift their position . Having cleared the village , we came to ground, which extended for a considerable distance, in which it was quite impossible for either Cavalry or Artillery to act , being a perfect net- work of deep ravines , covered with jungle, in the midst of which, hear the river Dessaun, was the enemy's Camp ; leaving therefore the Artil. lery with a small guard of Infantry and the Cavalry for their protection, we proceeded across this extremely difficult ground, covered by a skirmishing party of the 50th Madras Native Infantry, on both flanks, ex- changing shots with the enemy from time to time.

After about an hour's march we arrived at the river, just in time to see the last of the Rebels crossing to the opposite side , the Enfields of the 43rd now made some excellent practice both at the crossing the river, and subsequently in following the Rebels through the jungles on the other side . The enemy here lost both men and horses , the exact number of which could not be ascertained, owing to the density of thejungle, and the depth of the ravines ; several horses and ponies were captured and a quantity of miscellaneous baggage also fell into our hands , showing how hard the enemy had been pressed, and in what haste he had retreated . The jungle and steep ascents alone saved him from destruction, for the Europeans could not make way through such ground, to keep pace with Natives , who moreover knew every path. So as the daywas far advanced , and as I considered that a good blow had already been struck , and as more- over the men were much fatigued . I sounded the assembly, and we returned to Tola Kangharan, where Ihalted an hour to refresh , and return.d to Camp , where we arrived at 4 P M.

I HAVE the honor to report , for the in- formation of the Brigadier Commanding , that accord- ing to orders received on the 4th instant, I marched that night on the village of Larcherra, with the Troops as per margin . On arrival at Cossepoora, about two miles from our destina- tion at 9 A. M. on the 5th instant , I received informa- tion , that the main body of the Mutineers and Rebels , about 2,000 strong, under Chutter Singh, was encamped on the left bank of the "Dessaun" river, on the heights above Larcherra. pushed rapidly on. On arriving opposite the village, I directed Lieutenant Pope, Commanding Madras Ar- tillery, to throw a couple of shells in the direction of the enemy's advanced picquet , at the same time sending a Troop of the 12th Lancers across the river to cut off any who might endeavour to escape into the open country. The village was descrted. I then passed over with the remaining Troop of the Lancers and the guns ; finding from the nature of the ground that it was impossible to act without Infantry, I recrossed and encamped about a mile from the river bank .

Finding themselves unmolested, a party came down to the water - side, and commenced firing on our grass - cutters and horse -keepers , one of whom , I regret to say, was killed. Early the following morning, being reinforced by a Company of the 3rd Madras Europeans under Lieutenant Burge, I sent a party of them on elephants across the ford , under cover of the guns, the remainder with the Cavalry crossing at the same time a little higher up . When these were all over, I directed the guns to follow, and immediate- ly threw the Infantry into the jungle in skirmishing order , to sweep as far as possible the enemy's posi- tion, the Cavalry and Artillery moving along the valley, to cut off retreat in that direction . The In- fantry dashed in most gal- lantly, and soon exchanged shots with the Rebels , driv- ing them, before them through the brushwood ; not having a sufficient Force to cover both sides of the hill at one time , the greater number escaped and crossed the river, as was afterwards ascertained , in the direction of Alipoora , with a loss however of between 60 and 70 killed . A quantity of powder and cartridge paper was taken by the 3rd Madras Europeans in a building above the village.

I HAVE the honor to report , for the infor- mation of the Major-General Commanding the Field Force , M. D. A. , but whose address at present 1 do not know, that on my arrival at Teekree on the 23rd instant, I received information that the Rebels under Tantia Topee and the Rao Sahib were at Kurgaon, about twenty miles East of the Grand Trunk Road, and thirty miles from the Sindwah ghaut . On the following morning , I moved to Grelwana sixteen miles from Sindwah, so that I could cut them off from that route if they made for Khandeish , or move rapidly back along the main road if they tried to turn my left flank . 2. On the morning of the 24th instant, I was join- ed by 50 men of Her Majesty's 71st Highland Light Infantry under Lieutenant Lewis , who had been brought 70 iniles in thirty hours by Lieutenant Barras , of the Camel Corps , Captain Ballard , Assistant Quar-

On arrival at Than, we learnt that the whole of the Rebels had passed that place during the night , towards Rajpore and Bhurwannee, and I determined to pursue at once, the traces of their gun wheels and elephants serving to guide us on the proper line . After eight miles rapid maching, we overtook the rear guard of the Rebels streaming out of Rajpore ; I allowed them five minutes to clear the town , for if they had attempted to hold it, my small Force could never have dislodged them . I then pursued at a rapid trot with the Camel Corps and horsemen, desiring the Infantry, who were on foot , to follow as quickly as they could . The road lay through a jungle in which the Camels could not move, but as I had no baggage I resolved to disregard all stragglers who took refuge in it, and push steadily on their rear, passing quantities of abandoned stores, bullocks and baggage. After about five miles of this pursuit , during which several Rebels were cut down by the Seikh Horse , and shot by the Highlanders , we could see that the Rebels as they arrived at a nullah , which crossed the road at right angles someway ahead, formed upon its further bank ; when five hundred yards from this spot . I dismounted the Infantry who were on Camels , and was proceeding to attack , when to my surprise the remain- der of my men, who were on foot, appeared a fow hundred yards in rear, having kept up with the Camels at more than five miles an hour . Joined by them I advanced, but the Rebels hardly waited to exchange shots ; so the men remounted their Camels and we continued the pursuit for a couple of miles , when the Rebels again appeared, formed up in a strong position, where the road ascended the slope, lined on both sides with thick jungles , and was overlooked by a rocky ridge which covered it, and which they lined with musketry, placing their two guns in the centre of the road . I sent out skirmishers and formed the remainder as well as the ground could permit ; the enemy opened with musketry and grape , and as their position could not be turned, and every delay might give them confi- dence, I ordered the men to charge , who rushed straight along the road on their guns , which were carried with

Captain Ballard and Lieutenant Bonnor followed for two or three miles , with some Seikhs and Holkar's men, but as the whole road lay through jungle , I or- dered them to rejoin , and when the men had refreshed themselves, we returned with the captured runs to baggage by a short route .

Officers noted in the mar- gin, for Bururiah , which we reached about 8 o'clock A.M. The enemy did not ap- pearto expect us , but their outlying picquet gave them early warning. I at once formed line , with skirmish- ers out, and immediately advanced to the attack . The enemy were principally in two large woods , with the Soanee River running close to the wood on their left, with heavy forest and jungle close on the other side. The enemy opened fire of guns and musketry on our line, but were rapidly replied to from Captain Sotheby's two guns in the centre , and from Captain Cadell's two Horse guns on the left , and the two guns under Captain Highmore on the right, and from the skirmishers . The enemy early gave way and were greatly favored by the large woods and cultivations, enabling them to get their guns over a ford of the Soanee, on their left , into the forest ; other Infan- try and Sowars retired Westward, fording the river considerably higher up . The enemy were driven out ofboth woods and pursued for nearly two miles front of our line on the right, crossed after- wards at the same place where the enemy had crossed their guns , driving some of their Infantry and Sowars well into the forest . About a mile beyond the two large woods first occupied by the enemy we came on a bend of the river Soance , the enemy keeping up a fire of musketry from the thickets , but were soon silenced by the Naval Brigade and Madras Horse Battery Guns, and the rifle and musketry firing. Aford was found to our left , and I ordered Lieutenant Colonel Brasyer with a Division of his Scikhs and two Companies of the 13th Light Infantry under Captain Brown , to push over and clear a village and the nearest part of the forest covered at the ford, where the country was more open, by Captain Sothe- by's two guns and a party of Bengal Yeomanry Ca- valry, while Captain Cadell, with his guns from the right , fired over the river and covered the movement, driving out and dispersing the enemy in that direc- tion; the party having effected the object , was to re- turn without delay . This was most effectually and ably carried outby Lieutenant -Colonel Brasyer , and the enemy completely driven back and dispersed in tion th retreat .

My best thanks are due to the Officers I have named; Captain Sotheby was most zealous and active , pressing well forward with his guns ; and Captain Cadell, Commanding No. 2 Madras Horse Light Field Battery , who has lately joined my forco, I have found a very zealous and active Officer, always quick , and ready with his guns whenever their fire could be made effective ; also to all the Officers and Men of all arms engaged for their very zealous , active , and cheerful services throughout many hours of consi- derable fatigue; and to Doctor Young , 13th Light Infantry; Doctor Garden , Bengal Yeomnury Cavalry ; and Doctor Dickinson , Regiment of Ferozepore .

missary General , who afforded me most useful service inconveying orders and instructions ; they are also due to Mr. Wingfield, the Commissioner , who was present in the field throughout the day, and obtain- ing all the intelligence possible to be procured.

ed Bala Rao, who was on the other side of the river Raptee , in closo hearing of our guns, he marched off keeping the enemy to the Westward ; and it so alarm- from Kumsar, that night , towards the North -West beyond Biskohur , out of the Bansco District into that of Toolseepore, to Pipureca . Mahomed Hoossein has gone Westward to Atrowlah . I am happy to say we have none killed ; there are

12 wounded . A Casualty List is duly annexed . I re- turned with the Troops to Camp at 3 P. M. My Force is crossing the Raptee to- dayby bridge of boats, and will be over by the evening .

Ihave, & c . , It was difficult to ascertain the loss of the enemy but it was probable about a hundred ; several of the Infantry and Sowars and their Horses were killedby the party on the right of the line, when they first got to the edge of the forest , (Private John Bulger, Her Majesty's 13th Light Infantry , suddenly coming on four of the enemy in the wood , shot one, and bay- onetted three) and during an advance and at the time, and after Lieutenant- Colonel Brasyer crossed the river at the close of the action .

Ibeg to recommend all engaged to the particular favor of the Right Hon'ble the Commander- in - Chief.

The Forre under me has captured in all about 40 camels and 300 horses and ponies . The losses in the river must have been large, and many men and women are reported to have been drowned . Considering the nature of the ghat , and that the passage was mostly effected at night in great haste , this must have been the case.

A Mr.Hume being of opinion that the enemy might still be intercepted between the Jumna and Chumbul , I marched to Luknan this morning to support him . portion of my Cavalry with him have crossed the Jumna at a good Ferry near here ; they will cross the Chumbul for a last effort to intercept him, as he was reported to be halting on the other side of the Chum- bul this morning , imagining himself secure . I was unwilling to leave the Doab myself upon the chance , but thought myself justified in giving this much assistance.

In continuation of my re- port to you from " Ooreyah," I beg to state that , yester- day the 10th instant, hear- ing at 7 p. M. from Lieute- nant Angelo , whom I had detached with a patrol to- wards " Etawah ," that he had fallen in with large bodies of the enemy, with 16 elephants and a great number of camels laden with plunder, and had captur- ed a gun of Native make , I despatched orders to Lieutenant, Thain, who had joined the force with Mr. Hume, Collector of Etawah, to the North of "Puhpoond," to move obliquely upon the Etawah road, and marched myself at midnight along it . Ten miles from " Ooreyah " I came upon Lieutenant Angelo, and detached him to the left with the whole of Towannah Horse to follow the enemy's trail ; while I marched 5 miles further along the road , and at dawn ofday struck to the left down a road which another large body of Rebels had followed. After trotting a few miles, shots being heard on our right I rode for the spot, and found that Lieutenant Angelo had crossed my line of march , and was at the point of

passage. The road was a dry water-course , at the bottom of one of the ravines which in great numbers intersect this District . The enemy in large numbers were scat- tered over the plain, on the opposite bank , with camels , elephants and many horses . The banks of the river and sandbanks were studded with horses and camels , hopelessly struggling in the quick - sand, many of them having nearly disappeared in the two or three hours I was on the bank . This bank was strewed with bales of goods and various articles, with many saddles and swords and some firo arms ; camels and horses in con- siderable numbers were captured .

I BEG to state for the information of the Commander - in - Chief, that I have halted here this day (Sunday ) and intend marching for Cawnpore to- morrow vid Puhpoond and Russolabad . Mr. Hume, Collector of Etawah , has crossed the Chumbul with the Force which accompanies him. I reinforced him with 170 Allahabad Police and the Oudh Mounted Police . The rest return with me. He captured one of the enemy's stragglers, who confirms the reports about their losses, both in the fight with Mr. Hume and also by drowning in the passage of the river . A circumstance which was most unfortunate has only just come to my knowledge. Lieutenant Angelo, when he first came upon them about mid -day on the 9th sent me a note by a Police Sowar who never deli- vered it . This ought to have been with me at Ooreyah before 2 o'clock, in which case I could have had my whole Force upon the point of passage before dark, as Iwas only waiting to know where they really were . I could not have failed to inflict on them the most serious loss.

Ihave, & c . , (Signed) P. E. HERBERT, Brigadier, Comdg. Caunpore and Futtehpore Districts.

P. S.-The elephants crossed mostly the following morning .

I find that I have made a mistake in the day of the month , and fear my other letters have been wrongly It was onFriday morning the 10th , I should not have hesitated to follow but for the state of the opposite banks , as I felt sure I should have lost many horses . The enemy moved off pretty rapidly ; they appear to have been very leisurely in their movements across the Doab up to " Puhpoond," whore , Mr. Ilume informs me , that they received a letter from Cawnpore informing them that a Force had marched to cutthem off from " Ooreyah Ghat; " upon this they left in great haste . This accounts for the alarm shown at Lieutenant Angelo's appearance, when crossing the Ooreyah and Etawah Road. They had attacked the Force with Mr. Hume with great deter- mination on the Oth, and boon repulsed with great gallantry.

He was desired to assume Command of the Troops in the Goruckpore District , under Brigadier Row- croft , B. N.

It is with no ordinary feelings of satisfaction and of thankfulness to the Officers and Soldiers of the Army , who have displayed such unwearied constancy, per- severance, and fortitude in giving execution to my orders, that I have it consequently in my power to an- nounce to your Excellency that on the 1st January , the last day of clemency permitted under the Procla- mation of Her Gracious Majesty the Queen, it was reported to me by the Special Commissioner attached to my CampCamp in a Civil capaccapacity , that the law and civil administration had been re-established in every District of Oudh, similar reports having been made respecting Goruckpore and Behar a few weeks pre- viously.

+ The Major General'sReport of this transaction has been already submitted to your Lordship .

On the 31st December 1858 the Rebels were engaged for the last time by me, as a Military body in Oudh, anddriven across the border. The force actually with me is encamped close to it . The Begum with her immediate followers having been as yet deaf to the offers of Her Majesty's clemency , has sought an asylum in Nepaul , while nearly every Chief or Talook- dar, I may say almost without an exception , whose hands have not been imbrued in murder , has surren- dered, and is now in the course of making an amica- ble arrangement with the Chief Commissioner of Oudh .

effect to his instruction in his usual brilliant manner , crossed the Gogra on the 25th November , and en- gaged a large body of Insurgents under the Rajah of Gonda and Mehndee Hoossein , taking six guns and utterly routing the enemy with , but small loss to himself. † Gonda was then oc- cupied by Sir Hope Grant, and Brigadier Roweroft was gradu- ally pushed forward across the Raptee to Heer in the Goruck- Western Frontier of that

pore District ; this latter movement driving the Rebels who had so long annoyed the District , into Toolscepore in Oudh to the North of the Raptee .

The disarmament of the people and the dismantling of the Forts of the country have proceeded rapidly under the protection of the Columns and Garrisons left in different parts of the Province , as the general advance of the long line pressed further onwards, until at length it was arrested by the mountains of Nepaul , the Frontier of Her Majesty's ally.

It had now become necessary for Sir Hope Grant to stop his forward movement until the advance along the line had been made , otherwise that which we most dreaded, might probably have taken place, and the rebels passing round his right flank under the moun- tains might have invaded Tirhoot and Behar .

Many hundred guns and about three hundred and fifty thousand arms of different descriptions have been collected in Oudh , and more than three hundred Forts have boon destroyed..

He was accordingly warned to use the greatest care to prevent such a catastrophe, and to confine himself to that duty for the present . In the meantime the other

Aconsiderable number of the Mutineers have sur- rendered and been allowed to retire to their homes , and the population of the country is settling down in all directions in the most satisfactory manner .

I have much satisfaction in dwelling on the manner in which this Fort was captured , with a very trifling amount of loss to the Troops engaged . The Chief Engineer, Colonel Harness , Royal Engineers , has reported it to be one of the strongest as respects artificial defences that he has seen in India. But like all the others , it was without bomb- proof cover, and consequently fell easily into our hands after a few hours of well directed fire.

I refrain from troubling your Excellency with a long list of the Officers who have commanded Regiments and have filled the subordinate Staff Appointments . I wish to say that they and the men under their command, throughout the long struggle carried on without in- termission in every season of the year , ten months having elapsed since the fall of Lucknow, during which they have ever kept the field, have been distinguished by a discipline and a constancy unsurpassed in any war . The service was attended by great fatigue, by never ceasing sickness , and was performed alike during the intense heat of the summer, the languor of the Indian rains and the more bracing season of winter . But the discipline of Her Majesty's Troops nover swerved.

December, driving BalaRao from that point to the foot of the mountains and taking two guns . Sir Hope Grant was alarmed about his flank be- ing turned to the Eastward and to the North of Goruckpore. Acting according to his instructions and with great judgment , he made that point absolutely safe, before renewing his attack on Bala Rao. That being done he advanced through the jungles on that leader, and took fifteen guns from him , almost without the show of resistance on the part of the Rebels ; the latter dispersing and seeking refuge in the adjacent hills , and Bala Rao flying into the inte- rior, as the Nana , his brother , had done before him .

All ranks have emulated one another in their exer- tions . For this we have to thank the high sense ofduty and the personal example of Regimental Commanders and Staff Officers , the watchful and provident care of the Staff and Regimental Surgeons , and the admirable spirit which animates the Soldiers of Her Majesty's Regiment , of every denomination. It is indeed a subject of pride to have had the honor of commanding such anArmy.

Thus has the contest in Oudh been brought to an end, and the resistance of 1,50,000 armed men been subdued with very moderate loss to H. M.'s Troops , and the most merciful forbearance towards the mis- guided enemy.

For the present Brigadier Horsford has been left watching the Nepal Frontier, where the Raptee debouches from the mountains . Asimilar arrangement will be made in the Toolseepore District .

I cannot conclude this Despatch without referring to the very great and cordial assistance which I have constantly received from Major General Sir W. Mans- field, K. Č . B. , the Chief of the Staff. As it seems probable that active operations will now cease, I have tording my grateful sense of what I owe to this the greatest pleasure in seizing the opportunity of Officer,and ofrecommending him in the strongest possible manner for the favorable consideration of your Excellency.

I propose to give charge of the position to Sir Hope Grant, and to return to Lucknow myself forth- with.

I desire to offer my particular acknowledgments to the Chief Commissioner of Oudh, Mr. Montgomery , for the cordiality and good will with which he has been pleased to co-operate with me in the execution of his high office. The instructions issued by him to the Officers under his orders were most eminently calcula ted to facilitate the progress and efforts of the Troops.

Sir W. Mansfield executed all the details of the various operations, which I had thought it advisable to order , with the greatest ability, and showed the most unwearied diligence in directing, as was necessary, the simultaneous movements of so many bodies of Troops , scattered often in small detachments over a very great extent of country , and his care and attention have in a great measure tended to bring about the very rapid and favorable results which have been obtained, and the course of which has been already related .

His two representatives in my Camp , Major Bar- row , C. B. , Special Commissioner, and Major Bruce , C. B. , Superintendent of the Oudh Police,, won my warmest thanks for the manner in which they have given effect to the instructions of the Chief Commis sioner..

The Officers who have more particularly worked under the Chief of the Staff during the last year, as regards the execution of their various offices in respect of the war, are Major Norman , Deputy Adjutant General of the Army, Lieutenant- Colonel Macpherson, Officiating Quarter - Master-General of the Army, and Captain Allgood, Assistant Quarter- Master General.

The merits of Major Norman are well known to your Excellency , and he has continued to deserve my highest approbation .

Sir Hope Grant's Despatches during the last six months have told the story of of the admirable part taken by him in this war . I cannot say too much in his praise. He has the rare merit of uniting the greatest boldness in action , a firm and correct judgment , and the most scrupulous regard for his orders and instruc- tions .

Colonel Macpherson has always performed his duty to my satisfaction, and he has found a very able and industrious Assistant in Captain Allgood . The latter has been with me from the time I first took the field in1857.

I desire also to recommend to your Excellency's most favorable consideration, the Officers who have commanded Brigades, at different times , in the Army ofOudh .

I have the honor to recommend these three Officers to your Excellency's favorable notice .

Some have been employed in more active situations than others , but all have acted with real zeal and de- votion to the common cause . I therefore include them in one list :-

It remains for me to solicit your Excellency's pro- tection to the Officers of my personal Staff, and of that of Sir William Mansfield.

7. Of these 23 Furloughs, 10 will be held avail- able in the first instance for Members of the Ser- vice attached to the Lower Provinces, and 13 for Members attached to the North- Western Provinces , the Punjab , and Oude .

"No. 210 . Fort William, the 26th January 1859 .

Notifications . The following Extract from a Resolution passed by the Right Hon'ble the Go- vernor General in Council on this date , showing the number of Furloughs that willbe available during the season 1859-60 , for the Members of the Civil Service, is published for general information:-

8. Of the 10 Furloughs allotted to the Lower Provinces, five will be given to applicants before the 1st March in order of seniority , and five to such Officers irrespective of seniority as the Lieu- tenant-Governor may name as particularly deserv- ing of the indulgence , provided they have resided a sufficient time in India to entitle them to Fur- lough .

9. Of the 13 Furloughs reserved for the North- Western Pro-

North-Western Provinces

Punjab

Oude ...

Total

2 2 7 3 vinces, the Punjaub and Oude, six will be given to applicants before the 1st March in order of seniority, and seven to such Offi- cers , irrespective of seniority, as may be recom- mendedby the head of the local Government or administration in the proportions noted in the margin , provided as above that their residence in India is sufficient to entitle them to Furlough.

Para . 4. The Governor General in Council is of opinion that the state of affairs in India is now such as to admit of a relaxation of the rule pro- hibiting the grant of ordinary Furloughs . Serious inconvenience would however arise in the Bengal Presidency if the entire number of 51 Furloughs were at once to be granted; and it is moreover necessary to provide specially, on this occasion , that the Furloughs allowed should be enjoyed in fair proportion by the Members of the Bengal Ci- vil Service attached to either division of the Pre- sidency, and that some Furloughs should be reserv- ed for Officers, irrespective of their seniority , who by particular services and severe exertions may appear to the Government to deserve the indul- gence.

5. His Excellency in Council is therefore pleas- ed to resolve that from the 1st March 1859 , thirty- four Furloughs (being two -thirds of the whole number) shall , after deducting those already taken on Medical Certificate , be made available for the Members of the Bengal Civil Service in the

following ma.mer. Date of probable expiry.

6. Ele -

10. If the full number of Officers are not ré- commended by the local authorities , the remaining available Furloughs allotted to applicants in order of seniority , and if all the Furloughs allotted to one division of the Presidency are not taken they will be held available for Officers of the other division . 11. Furloughs will continue to be given to ap- plicants on Medical Certificate, without reference to the above arrangement, so long as the whole num- ber of 5l Furloughs is not exceeded .

BENGAL CIVIL FUND .

At a Ilalf- Yearly General Meeting of Subscribers to the Bengal Civil Fund , held on the 26th January 1859 .

PRESENT : Messrs . E. Currie , II . B. Harington , E. Drummond, R. P. Harrison, H. D. Н. Fergusson, S. Wauchope , C. T. Buckland , E. F. Harrison and J. A. Crawford.

E. CURRIE, Esq. , in the Chair.

READ the following Report submittedby the Managers :-

The Managers submit their proceedings for the past half-year, for the consideration and sanction of the Meeting .

Subject to the approval of the Subscribers , they have admitted to the benefits of the Fund the following families :-

Mr. Loch's sıx Children per annum £520 1. The six Children, ( three Sons and three Daughters , ) of the late Mr. T. C. Loch , who died in London , on the 17th July 1858 .

Mrs Christopher ( formerly Taylor) £400

Less private mome 150

250

2. The Widow of the late Mr. W. T. Christopher , formerly an Incumbent on full allowances from the Fund, as the Widow of Mr. George James Taylor a Subscriber who died in 1833 , has been re - admitted under the old rules , from the date of decease of her late Husband , viz ., 22nd April 1858. This Lady's original incumbency lasted only for three months , viz . from 22nd September to 17th December 1833 , when she was married to Mr. Christopher and ceased to be an Incumbent . She is now re - admitted on the allowance noted on the margin .

Mr. H. F. James, who retired on an Annuity of £ 1000 on 1st May 1855 , having completed by a payment of Rupees 3,300 the prescribed balance in this Fund of Rupees 25,000, but neglected for a year to pay up Subscriptions from his Annuity under Rule 8,8, was informed that he had incurred the penalty specified in Article XXXVIII . of the Rules . IHe has since paid up all arrears with interest at 8 per Cent. , and seeks readmission to the Fund, pleading in excuse of non -payment that from serious illness he was " incapacitated from taking any active part in the management of his own affairs ." Subject to the approval of the Meeting , Mr. James has been restored to the full rights of a Subscriber .

Mr. Reginald Thornton , who left India in November 1855, and retired in November 1858 on an Invalid Annuity of £500 , having similarly incurred the penalty of Rule 38, has paid up arrears with interest , and pleads that he understood the penalty to apply only to cases when the death of the Sub- scriber before payment makes it necessary for the family to seek admission to the benefits of the Fund . Subject to the approval of the Meeting , Mr. Thornton has been restored to the full rights of a Subscriber .

Mr. Charles Grant requests that his application for the excess in his Subscription total above Rupees 25,000 to be carried to the account of commutation of future Subscriptions required under Rule 8 maybe submitted for the decision of the Subscribers . The Managers have informed Mr. Grant that his claim is inadmissible under the Rules ; but in compliance with his request lay the case before theMeeting.

By the second Resolution of the last Half- Yearly General Meeting, the Managers were requested to report whether any change is desirable in the Rules in respect to the points mooted in the first and second of the proposals brought forwardby Messrs . Cust and Temple. The Managers referred the question for enquiry to a Sub - Committee composed of Messrs. Currie , Harington, and Beadon. The Report of these Gentlemen is submitted . The Managers concur in the opinion arrived at, that under existing circumstances, no reduction ought to be made in the amount of Pensions allowed to the Widows and Orphans of Subscribers .

With reference to the third Resolution of the last General Meeting accepting the principle of a proposition to levy a penalty in cases of unequal marriages, the Managers have circulated a Vote paper which is now in the hands of Subscribers . TheAccounts for the year 1857-58 are submitted.

Managers have calculated the value of the pending Annuities which they find to amount to RupeesRupees 36,64 ,36,64,714. At the last quinquennialnial adjustment , the amount was re- ported tobe Rupees 27,66,977 , being an increase dur- ing the five years of Rupees 8,97,737 . The capital of the Fund amounted on the 30th April last, to Rupees 43,37,731 ; and on the 30th April 1853 it was reported to be Rupees 26,72,094 , being an increase of capi- tal during the five years of Rupoes 16,65,650. The capital at present exceeds the value of existing Pensions by Rupees 6,73,020 . This amount dufers from the balance at credit of the Unappropriated Head owing to the amount of 8 per Cent . capital being still less than the value of the Pensions chargeable to that lead , thereby rendering it necessary to retain a corresponding surplus in the four and five per Cent. branch of the Appro- priated Head.

Total, Rupees 36,04,714 [ 239 ]

The Managers have made up the balance of the eight per Cent . Appropriated Account to 26 lacs . The value of the Old Pensions and of the proportion of the New Pensions chargeable to this head amounts to Rupees 29,83,830 ; the deficiency is therefore Rupees 3,83,830, which is considered to be equal to Rupees 5,26,499 of capital at five per Cent . This sum added to the value Rupees 7,04,884 of the portion of Pensions under the New Rules , chargeable to the four and five per Cent. head, makes up Rupees 12,31,383 , the adjusted amount of the balance of the Appropriated Funds .

The Managers have likewise made a valuation, as required by Article XLIV. of the Assets and Liabi-

Contingent Liabilities .

lities of the Unappropriated Funds. They find the present value (as on 30th April last) ofthe contingent liabilities to amount to Rupees 37,42,516 . On the 30th April 1853 the amount, if calculated in the same manner as on the pre- sent occasion, was Rupees 31,52,220 , so that there is increase of contingent liabilities, amounting to an Rupees 5,90,296 . The Assets of the Unappropriated Funds are valued at Rupees 42,33,985 . On the30th April ported at Rupees 46,08,848 ; 1853, the amount was re- being a decrease of Rupees 3,74,863 . No comparison however can properly be made owing to the items of Subscriptions belonging to the four and five per Cent . ac- count having been different- ly valued. A comparison of

the Assets and Liabilities of the Unappropriated Funds shows a surplus of Assets amounting to Rupees 4,91,469 .

The Managers consider that the position of the Fund may be declared to be satisfactory , and they recommend that the existing rates of Subscription be continued for the ensuing quinquenial period .

The following Statements of the number of incumbents on the Fund and of the number of the fami- lies of Subscribers from 1849-50 to the present time are subjoined to illustrate the progress of the Fund:-

No. 135 of 1859.-The Right IIon'ble the Go- vernor General of India in Council is pleased to direct the publication of the following Despatch from Brigadier Douglas , C. B. , Commanding the Districts of Shahabad and Ghazeepore , reporting operations in Shahabad and the Kymore Hills , from the 19th to the 30th November 1858 .

ing to hem in the enemy, who had now separated into several independent parties , I divided my Force into seven columns of about 300 men each , with a view of intercepting the scattered bodies, and by following them rapidly . I hoped to thoroughly disorganize or compel them to accept the terms of the Amnesty and capitulate . I distributed the Troops as follows . Two columus under Licut . - Colonels Turner , C. B. , and Walter, 35th Regiment , watched the Soane . Two columns under Colonel Seymour, 84th Regiment, and Major Carr , Madras Rifles, guarded the foot of the Hills on the North , with orders to follow up imme- diately any party that might double back into Shaha- bad. Another column under Captain Gordon , 42nd Highlanders , with 150 Recruits of the 42nd and 79th Highlanders , and some Native Levies under Captain Knyvett were detached to the Mirzapore side ; the re- maining two columns , one under my own personal command, and the other under Major Lightfoot , 81th Regiment, were for the Hills. I placed a detachment under Captain Browne , 35th Reginent, at Bhugwan- pore , and held the Jugdeespore Jungle with 300 men . 1 also provided posts for the Grand Trunk Road and most important positions in Shahabad. All these arrangements being completed , on the 19th at sunrise Major Lightfoot's column and my own proceeded to ascend the Hills , the former by the laj Ghat and my own by the Doosee Ghat. The ascent was most laborious , the Ghat being precipitate, and rugged and passing through heavy jungle and over and between ledges of huge rocks , which offered a very precarious footing for the provision - animals , whose loads wero obliged to be removed and carried up by hand . This was necessarily a tedious operation and occupied up- wards of 36 hours . On entering the Hills I found the country ill adapted for military operations , water was scarce and not unfrequently bad , dense jungle covered the Hills , and the roads were mere pathways . No supplies of any kind were procurable, the villages which were few and far between consisting only of from two to six hovels , the inhabitants of which fled at our approach , and of course no trust- worthy information could be obtained. As I before stated the enemy had separated and they invariably retreated as we advanced , avoiding us in the dense jungle. In this however they did not always succeed . Captain Gordon hearing from Mr. Dennison, Magistrate ofMirzapore, who accompanied him , that a consider. able body of the rubels were at Kirkhut Ghur, deter- mined to attack them: accordingly on the 20th November with his Highland Recruits and the Mirza- pore Levy he advanced upon the enemy's position just at dawn, took them completely by surprise, killed some fifty, captured their horses , ammunition, & c. , and utter- ly routed them . This affair appears to me to rudound greatly to Captain Gordon's credit , and I have much pleasure in bringing his services to the notice of the

His Excellency in Council in concurring in the approbation expressedby the Right Hon'ble the Commander - in- Chief , desires to acknowledge the excellent services rendered by Captain Gordon, of the 2nd Highlanders , on this occasion :-

Arrah , 20th December 1858 .

SIR,

I HAVE the honor to state for the informa- tion of the Right Honorable the Commander- in - Chief, that having received his orders to drive the rebels out of the Kymore Hills where they had taken re- fuge after their expulsion from Shahabad , I made arrangements for a Hill Campaign, and as in such an extended line of country it was hopeless attempt

Right Hon'ble the Commander- in -Chief. On the morning of the 24th having heard of some rebels within a few miles of my proposed line of march , sending off my Baggage under a suitable escort to my new bivouac ground, I proceeded to the point indicated by the guide, but the enemy had fled a few hours before my arrival . That same afternoon Į again heard that 300 rebels had taken up a position near the village of Sulya Duhar, about 10 or 12 miles from my Camp . Having found it almost hopeless to bring the enemy to action in the day time , 1 decided on attempt- ing a night attack , and with a body of 200 men from the 35th and 8th Regiments under Captain Tisdall, 35th , and Captain Hardy, 84th Regiment , set out about 8 P. M. , timing our march so that we should reach tho enemy when the moon arose at midnight . After pro- ceeding about 11 miles through heavy jungle, we came out into an open plain . A fire was observed to our front , under a tope of trees . I advanced towards it , extending the Light Company 35th Regiment under Captain Blyth. The order was silence and no firing as we proceeded, other lights appeared , and suddenly within fifty yards of us, one or two persons rose froma [ 268 ]

of them abondoning their arms and horses , numbers of which have been brought in by the villagers ; so complete was the enemy's dispersion that within a few days not a dozen men throughout the district remain- od banded together , and the leaders attended by only 3 or 4 followers were flying for their lives In every village in Shahabad Sepoys are to be found , but they are no longer in arms , in proof of which numbers are coming in dailyto accept the terms of the Amnesty. Of those rebels who lately infested this district , Ibe- heve that there only remains one small body of about 200 men to be disposed of; they have made across the Soane, and I have sent Lieutenant-Colonel Turner , C. B. , to try and break them up.

by Captam Holland, Captain Tulloch, and Lieutenant To the Officers Commanding columns , to my Per- sonal Staff, Sır Henry Havelock , 18th Royal Irish Regiment , Assistant Adjutant General , Major Steven- son , 79 Highlanders , Brigade Major, Captain Wilkinson , 4th European Light Cavalry, Deputy Assistant Quar- ter Master General , to Mr. Bingham, acting Magis- trate, and Mr. Dennison , Magistrate of Mirzapore, and to all who have assisted in the late operations, I return my best thanks . Colonel Longden in North Behar and Major Beamish , 35th Regiment in Tirhoot , have conducted responsible commands much to my satisfaction. The conduct of Naib Russaldar Nuweb Khan , 3rd Seik Cavalry , when in command of an out- post , as reportedby Colonel Seymour , was so gallant that I venture to recommend him for some special mark of favor. I cannot close this report without bearing testimony to the admirable Commissariat arrangements made by Captain Ogilvie , ably assisted Bates . I beg to enclose reports from Lieutenant- Colonel Turner, C. B. , Lieutenant -Colonel Walton, Lieutenant- Colonel Seymour , Major Carr, and Captain Gordon.

the ground, followed by several others who began moving silently away. Convinced that the rebels' Camp was in front of us, with a cheer and levelled bayonets, the men rushed upon the enemy ; so com- plete was the surprise, that some of the Sopoys were bayonetted as they lay, others threw themselves into anullah hardby, beyond which was heavy jungle, the proximity of which alone saved the whole body from being annihilated. The alarm was so great that not a robel attempted to stand to his arms . In my tele- gram I reported 40 killed , but I have since learnt that 64 bodies , all Sepoys , had been found, most of them bayonetted. We captured their amınunition and ac- coutrements, all their cooking pots and pans, 130 mus- kets , 9 Enfields , and some 250 swords and shields , and 20 horses of kinds This successful night attack following so closely on Captain Gordon's surprise , ap- pears to have decided the rebels on leaving the Hills . They first attempted a descent by Major Carr, but were driven back with loss , subsequently taking ad- vantage of night they stole down the Hills in small bodies , avoiding all villages and roads, and about 400 or 500 succeeded in penetrating some distance into the plains before they were discovered. Directly however that the information reached Colonels Walter and Seymour those two Officers started in pursuit, which they carried on at the rate of 25 and 30 miles a day. On the 25th Colonel Walter had a conference with some of the rebel leaders who appear- ed inclined to lay down their arms , provided they obtained for themselves exemption from all further penalties; but as Mr. Money, who was present at the interview, did not consider that such stipulation could be entertained, the conference was broken off and the enemy retreated . The pursuit was continued till night- fall. That same evening the rebels made for the Ganges , with an intention of crossing, but the steamers which had been warned to be on the alert , opened fire upon them, and every boat having been previously moved to the other side of the river their object was entirely defeated . Baffled on every side , dishcartened by the daily defection of numbers of their adherents , and hotly pressed by the pursuing columns, the rebels suddenly breaking up, scattered to their homes, many

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 on its cover .

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 , ormaps, and any quantity of paper , parchment or vellum (to the exclusion, however, of letters whether sealed oropen) 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 , & 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 inust 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 . 51/.- No Book- Packet canbe 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 letter 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 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 Packet, charged with full Postage as an unpaid letter, 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 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 los 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 .

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 willbe 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 shall be attended to, except in the case of letters received for delivery.

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 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 if any such, or partially paid letter so superscribed, andand addressed to any Officer exeexcept a Secretary to Government be found when opened, to relate to the private affairs of the Sender, the Postage willthe Postage will be debited to him and he will be further liable to be dealt with under Section XLVII . Act No. XVII . of 1854 .

His 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 . "

IRON Pillar Letter Boxes have been placed in the following localities :-

Ware-house, Wellington Square , Rada Bazar, Bonded Ware - house , Wellington Square , Mangoe Lane, Park Street , Gowkhannah , Scott Thomson's , General Treasury , Prinsep's Ghaut, Fort near Main Guard,Guard, Watgunge , Salt Golah (thaut, Matia Poruze, Ballygunge, General Hospital , Theatre Road , Strand Flour Mills, Prossono Coomar's Ghaut, College Square and Chitpore Road, and are opened three times a day at 9 A. M. 1 and 4 р. м .

Letters , & c. , intended for Calcutta posted in the above Box up to 9 A.M. and 1 P. M. will be brought in time for the second and third deliveries respectively, and those dropped into the Box after 1 P. M. and up to 4 P. M. will be distributed the next morning at the first delivery . Letters , &c . , intended for the Train Mail , found in the Pillar Box at 9 a. M. and 1 P. M. will arrive in time for 4 P. M. Despatch , and those posted after the last mentioned hour and up to 5 P. M. will be forwardedby the Express Mail Train at 8-45 P. м . Letters, &c ., for Eastern and Southern routes posted up to 5 P. M. will be forwarded to their des- tination at 8 р . м . On Sundays, the Letter Box will be cleared twice, viz. , 12 noon and 4 P. M., and letters, &c., posted after the latter hour will be brought to the Calcutta Post Office the following morning.

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

Forward Postage willbe charged in addition to all other Postage due or paid thereon , upon every letter, without exception, which may be re -directed in the Post Office . Letters , & c . , received by the Steamer willbe 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 he attended to, as they are found not only to impose much labour but seriously retard the delivery and despatch of the Mails .

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 . 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 G 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 24 hours after receipt of the Mail at the Post Oflice .

Orders by the Lieutenant - Governor , North- Western Provinces . No. 5 .

With reference to this objection, His Honor in remarks that under Rule 13 of the Bank, the Bank cannot recognize trusts, and therefore one party can- not deposit money for another, nor draw the Interest that may accrue on such deposit ; but His Honor in Council is of opinion that the existing rule of the Bank shouldbe altered so as to allow of security deposits being made in the manner prescribed by the new Public Works' Code and he accordingly resolves that the following new Rule he passed for the Savings' Bank at Calcutta .

The success of the Major General's operations has afforded the Governor General in Council great satisfaction , and His Excellency in Council desires to acknowledge the excellent services of the Officers and men who were engaged on this occasion :-

No. 6

TO MAJOR GENERAL SIR W. R. MANSFIELD , K. C. B. ,

Chief of the Staff, Allahabad.

SIR,

HIS Lordship the Commandor- in - Chief has,been informed of the Relief of Kirwee by the Troops under my Command on the morning of the 25th instant , and I now have the honor to subinit for the informa- tion of Lord Clyde report of my further operations against the Rebels .

II . The enemy had only retired to the heights of Punwarce which with several villages in the neighbour- hood Radha Govind had occupied in force, from three to four miles distance from Kirwce by the direct road which was totally impassable for guns .

III . His Troops also were reported to hold the village of " Dudrce " in his recar thirteen miles from this

place by a road over the Hills which was barely passable for our Artillery. IV. To have attached Radha Govind in his front only would have produced the same disappointing results as our Forces have so often experienced reticat after defeat, where Infantry could not have followed.

V. It was then most desirable to convey Troops well to the rear on what was conjectured wouldbe Radha Govind's line of retreat without his knowledge .

VI . From the excellent information furnished me by the Collector Mr. Mayne, and from the secrecy with which it was kept, I was enabled to mature arrangements, and without sound of bugle and Camp left standing . The Troops assembled on the morning of the 29th and moved in three separate Columnsto their respective

positions . VII . The Right Coluinn under Major Mein, Commanding Officer of Artillery , which I accompanied.

2. The Centre Column under Licutenant Colonel Hinde, Commanding Rewah Levies .

The Left Column under Captain Southey , of the Third Madras Europeans .

3. VIII. The strength of the several Columns is marginally noticed and a rough sketch of operations enclosed.

in XI . They Lieutenant -Colonel Hinde's Camp who know Radha Govind recognized him and his brother dead on

the field, when the gallant Troops of the Lieutenant - Colonel had reached the summit of the heights . XII. It is now a pleasing duty to recommend Lieutenant Colonel Hindo to the very favorable notice of Ilis Lordship the Commander - in - Chief. 2. 1 went over the position which had boon assigned to Lieutenant Colonel Hinde, and it is but justice

to praise that Officer's adinirable arrangements for attack, the gallautry of his Troops , and the alacrity with which the heights were stormed when the advance was ordered . 8. The Company of Her Majesty's 13rd Light Infantry under Captain Disbrowe worked up the heights with their well- known energy and knowledge of the duties of Light Troops , and with their Officer deserve

all approbation . 4. It was the first time the Rewah Lovies has been regularly opposed to the Enemy and from the various accounts of their conduct they deserve every praise .

| 312 ]

5. Captain Mathias , Lieutenant Cracroft and Mr. Kirke , of the Rewah Levies , behaved most gallantly.

6. It is with much satisfaction that I solicit His Lordship's attention to the names of the Native Officers mentioned by Lieutenant Colonel Hinde , and especially to that of Acting Jemadar Adjoodah Sing and Subadar Rajkoop Oosundra; the latter mentioned by Captain Pasley .

7. The Detachment 50th Native Infantry co -operated in the movement and behaved well under Ensign Gosling.

8. The Guns worked by a Detachment of the Royal Artillery were very much exposed for some time to a heavy flanking fire, whilst the enemy's battery found their range, but our guns notwithstanding were most active in silencing the musketry fire of the enemy and distracting their attention from the Infantry who steadily advanced and captured the Battery .

9. Captain Pasley has been noticed by Lieutenant -Colonel Hinde most favorably, and he with his fine and able body of men deserve my best thanks .

10. The conduct also of Dr. Macfarlane, the Field Surgeon, has called forth commendation . I well know the value of this Officer's services on all occasions and which prove him worthy of my special recommendation to the most favorable consideration of Lord Clyde .

XIII . The Left Column under Captain Southey performed its duties most efficiently, and that Officer deserves favorable mention to His Lordship, to whom I beg to recommend him.

2. Lieutenant Thompson, of the Madras Horse Artillery, in charge of the Mortars , Lieutenant Hodges , of the 1st Madras Native Infantry and Ensign Sheffield, of the 3rd Madras European Regiment, have been favorably noticed by Captain Southey .

8. My Assistant Adjutant General , Lieutenant Williams , of the Third Europeans , whom I had attached to this Column, an intelligent, zealous Officer , is spoken of very favorably.

4. It is true this Column was not so exposed to the heavy fire the Centre Column had to encounter, but its movement on the left was of the greatest importance , compelling the enemy to keep the centre road which threw them back on the Right Column , the Artillery, Cavalry and Infantry which were so opportunely and skilfully posted by Major Mein , leading to a heavy loss of the enemy the capture of two elephants, with the Radha Govind's state silver howdah and his palanqueens with a mass of correspondence. So great was the surprise of the enemy on finding the country occupied by our Troops around the village of " Dudree," that they were completely bewildered. Flying in all directions to the jungles , a body took shelter in a hill thickly studded with jungle close at hand, the activity of the Cavalry, the watchful- ness of the Artillery who were everywhere, prevented their escape, and a party of 3rd Europeans and Sappers, under Lieutenant Čampbell, killed the whole, amounting to one hundred and twenty. A small party of the 3rd Madras Europeans, under Lieutenant Hunt , used their bayonets and enfields most effectually, killing several .

XIV. I beg permission to bring Major Mein to the special notice of Lord Clyde. His arrival on his ground was so admirably timed and his disposition of his Troops so judicious that they effected all that could beexpect- ed from them .

2. The state of the ghaut which extends about a mile, at one time almost frustrated the hope of bringing up the guns to the summit, but it was effected without accident and the A Troop Madras Horse Artillery claim my every acknowledgment and cordial thanks for their skill and their energetic perseverance in surmounting obstacles which really appeared at times to baffle all further progress .

3. Captain Menegan, Commanding the Troops , and Lieutenants Stewart and Anderson, doserve the great- est praise for the celerity with which their guns were moved, and always to the proper place , to act if occasion required. Lieutenant Anderson's capture of the two clephants was a most dashing affair .

4. Captain Harrison , Artillery Brigade Major, a smart and active Officer, attracted my attention to the able manner in which I saw him convey orders to every part of the Field .

XV. Major Prior, of Her Majesty's 12th Royal Lancers , moved his Squadron most efficiently and deserves every notice , whilst his men, first employed in vidette duties, then in operations on the enemy , evinced a conduct mostpraiseworthy.

XVI. The gallant Squadron of the Hyderabad Contingent, was here as always zealous , brave and energe- tic. Captain Macintire was at their head, and his conduct was as usual most gallant .

2. Of Surgeon Bradley, Hyderabad Contingent , I cannot speak too highly . Whatever his duties have been, however heavy his medical charge, he has always been at his post , and here as elsewhere has ever merited com- mendation. May I respectfully solicit His Lordship's special notice of this Officer who has been with his Squa- dron in the Field since September 1857 without interruption .

XVII. Captain Lawder, my Assistant Quarter Master General , merits my best acknowledgments . He was inost zealous in seeing my orders carried out for the formation of the Troops and most useful to me throughout the day.

XVIII . Lieutenant Heath , of the Commissariat Department , had two days' provisions in the Field before the fight was over. He is young in the Department, but he conducted his duties most satisfactorily.

XIX . My Aide-de- Camp Lieutenant Homan, 50th Madras Native Infantry , was most useful to me during the day, as also Major Mayne, Deputy Judge Advocate General to the Division , and Lieutenant Howes , Assist- Field Engineer, who acted as my Orderly Officer .

XX. The Superintending Surgeon Dr. Davidson made all the medical arrangements satisfactorily.

XXI. 1 must not omit to mention the name of Mr. Mayne, the Collector of the District , and to respect- fully beg Lord Clyde will be pleased to bring this gentleman's name to the notice of the Right Hon'ble the Governor General.

2 Hisexcellent information, his knowledge of the country, the spirit with which he co- operated with me in preventing all possible mistakes by not only procuring trustworthy guides , but in moving with two of the Columns to their respective positions , is deserving of the highest commendation , and I beg most earnestly to bring this gentleman to the special notice of Lord Canning .

[ 313 1

XXII . In conclusion I would beg to add that no Troops could have behaved better , after the fatigues of a very heavy march sustained by the cheerful spirit of the Soldier , they at last met the enemy, defeated him with the loss of more than 800 killed, including the Rebel leader and his brother , several wounded, we captured four, guns, four clephants , the destruction of a large quantity of gunpowder, capture of numerous arms and accoutre- ments belonging to mutineers . Several horses , also amongst them Radha Govind's , which had been taken by the enemy at their attack on Kirwee, and the Troops crowned the day by a return to Camp of thirteen miles, which they reached in the best of spirits , without a casualty or scarce a straggler , at 9 r. M. , having been under arms , with the exception of two hours' rest after the action , since 2 a. M.

XXIII . The effects of the operations of the 29th is already visible , the Rebels having fled from these Districts to the South disınayed and dispirited , and I learn , with the exception of some few scattered here and there, that this part of the country is clear of them .

Whenever particulars of a claim shall have been filed under the pro- visions of this Act, it shall not be necessary for the claimantto furnish particulars under Sec- tion XX . of the said Act . If particulars of claim are filed under this Act, particulars under Act XXX. of 1858 not necesвагу.

It is by no means generally known, that the tides along the edge of the reef, and between the Islands to the North of Mauritius, run at times with a velocity of from five to six miles on the springs ; they are equally strong off the Morne, and along the Southern Coast , their direction is from S. E. to N. W. , the flood running to the S. E. , and the ebb to the N. W. , varying a point or two according to the wind.

Supreme Court to appoint a day for ascertaining the amount due to any who has filed perfeclaration under Act XXX. of 1858 .

IX. The Supreme Court of Judicature at Madras or a Judge thereof may, upon application on be- half of the Government of Madras, appoint a day for ascer- taining the amount due to of the persons who have filed a declaration under Section XIV . of the said Act, and in such case notice of the days appointed shall be given to the claimant . The day so appointed shall not be less than twenty- one days from the time when the said application shall be made .

Wherever the reefs extend to a distance from the land, the lead if carefully attended to , will be a tolerably safe guide in the night ; but should the lead be overhove when standing towards the shore haul of immediately whilst preparing for a freslı cast, or you may run your Ship aground ; from 14 to 20 fathoms is generally a safe distance from the reef, but the soundings vary considerably ; of all the vessels that have been run ashore , or lost on the Coast of Mauritius during the last few years , it is not too much to say, that the neglect of the lead was without exception the principal cause ; the strength of the currents had also something to do with these accidents , but the neglect of the lead was the most important fact elicited in

each enquiry. Where there is no Coast Reef marked on the Chart, the shore is generally bold, having deep water to within a cable's length of it .

SAILING DIRECTIONS .

if Proceedings claimant appear on claim dayfixed . X. If the claimant shall appear on the day so fixed, or on any other day to which the Court may think fit to postpone the investigation, all such proceedings shall be had for ascertaining and determining the amount due to the claimant, and for payment of the amount so ascertained, as if the day for ascertaining the amount of the debt had been appointed upon the application of the claimant under Section XIX . of the said Act, ex- cept that it shall not be necessary for the claimant to furnish particulars under Section XX . of the saidAct .

Vessels arriving from the Eastward and S. Eastward , should be careful not to bring the light on Flat Island to the Northward of N. N. W. W. until Gunners Quoin bears West , when they may pass midway between it and Flat Island, this course will lead about 24 miles clear of the reefs that extend from the N. E. end of Mauritius .

On passing Gabriel Island,be careful to give a good berth to a reef that extends about a mile to the S. S. E. of it ; this warning applies more particularly to Cooly Ships , which having to be visitedby the Surgeon Superintendent at the Lazaret at Flat Island, frequently pass much too close to this reef without being aware of its existence, as in very fine weather the sea does not always break on its extreme point .

XI . If the claimant do not appear on the day Proceedings if fixed as provided by Section IX . of this Act , or upon the day to claimant do not ap- pear on day fixed . which the Court may postpone the investigation, the Court , upon proof of service of the notice required by Section IX. of this Act, shall make an order barring the claimant from proceeding under Section XIV . or any subsequent Section of Act XXX, of 1858 and from the bene- fits of the provisions of Section XXV. of the said Act; and in such case the claimant shall not be entitled to proceed under Section XIV. or any sub- sequent Section of the said Act , or to be paid under the provisions of Section XXV . of the said Aot, unless within one week from such day , or within such time as the said Court or a Judge thereof shall appoint for investigating the excuse for not appearing , the Court shall be satisfied that he had a reasonable excuse for not appearing and shall fix another day for the hearing of his claim.

W. MORGAN, Clerk of the Council.

When to the Westward of the Quoin Canno- neer Point Light will be seen ; steer with Flat Is- land Light astern , bearing N. E. by E. E. until the Cannoneer Point Light bears S. E. b . S. (which will carry you clear of the dangerous reef that ex- tends from the Point ) you may then haul up S. W. b S. till the Red Light at Grand River is seen , bring it to bear S. S. W. and steer for it on that course, until the Green Light on Tonneliers Island bears S. E. , when being on the best ground you may anchor in from 12 to 16 fathoms ; a nearer approach to the Red Light at Grand River would [ 364 ]

bring a vessel too near the reefsto the S. West- ward of the entrance of the Harbour .

Should the night be clear when running down the Coast, the Western Shoulder of the Corps de Garde Mountain will be seen in line with Grand River Red Light when the latter bears S. S. W.

with the localities ; it is far better with the admirable advantages afforded by the lights for ascertaining a vessel's exact position , to keep under weigh till day - light ; considerable risk will thus be avoided, and as no communication with the shore is permitted till vessels have received Patrique, no time is gained by anchoring in the night .

No. 289 .

Remember especially that after passing Cannoneer Point on yourway to the Bell Buoy , the Cannoneer Point Light changes from white to red, if it be brought to bear more northerly than N. E. E. this change will warn you that the vessel is too near the reefs that skirt the Coast between Cannoneer Point and Point Piment .

In further modification of the orders of the Government of India in this Department, dated Allahabad, the 11th May last, it is hereby notified that IIis Excellency the Governor General in Council has been pleased to withdraw the prohibition against the grant of privilege leave and leave of absence on private affairs .

2. Such leave will now be granted by the Government of India and by the Local Govern- ments under the rules in force , subject strictly to the prescribed conditions that , in the case of privilege leave, " no inconvenience will arise from the departure of the Officer seeking it, " and that, in the case of leave on private affairs , " the grounds of the application are sufficiently urgent to justify the concession of the leave."

By Order of IIis Excellency the Governor General in Council,

But this change from white to red, is only in- tended as a guide as far as Point Piment, after pass- ing which, the Red Light at Grand River will be your mark to the Anchorage. It is not well how- ever for a large vessel erer to approach so near the reef as to change the Cannoneer Point Light from white toto redred ; the greateat object in view in thus arranging the Light was the convenience of the numerous coasting vessels be- longing to the Colony, to whom (knowing the ground as they do) it is most useful . The best mark for keeping clear of the reefs between Can- noneer Point and Point Piment by night , is to keep the Flat Island Light open to the Westward of Cannoneer Point Light until the Red Light at Grand River is seen .

Foreign Department. No. 419 . Fort William, the 10th February 1859 . Lieutenant E. M. Woodcock joined his ap- pointment as District Adjutant Oudh Military Police on the 25th ultimo .

Should you be approaching the Cannoneer Point Light from the Westward when it shows white, und steering directly for it , there can be no change of color ; but by attending to the bearing of Flat Island Light it willbe impossible for you to run on the reef; the Barque Cornwall of 947 Tons , steering E. N. E. for Cannoneer Point Light was wrecked on the reef within of a mile of the Light House, because it was erroneously supposed that the light changed color on ap- proaching it whenever a vessel was to the Southward of it, wherewhereas it is only when it is brought to bear N. E. E., and to the Northward of that that the light changes color .

When running for the Anchorage by day, after passing Cannoneer Point with Flat Island Light House bearing N. E. b . E. E. , being Tamarind Mountain (a conical hill to the Westward of all the other high land) to bear S. W. b . S. , and steer for it until the Martello Tower on South side of the mouth of Grand River is seen in a line with the Western Shoulder of the Corps de Garde Mountain bearing S. S. W.; this will lead clear of all danger to the Anchorage, which is indicated by a floating beacon painted red and white,white, gener- ally called the Bell Buoy, which lays in 12 fathoms on the North side of the mouth of the Harbour ; Anchor to the Northward of this beacon in from 12 to 20 fathoms .

Subject to the approbation of IHer Majesty , the Right Hon'ble the Viceroy and Governor General of India in Council has been pleasedp to appoint Mr. Robert Montgomery , of the Bengal Civil Service , to officiate as Lieutenant - Governor of the Punjab and its Dependencies .

When approaching by night from the S. West ward, FlaFlat Island Light bearing N. E. b . E. , will lead between two and three miles to the Westward of the reefs to the Southward of the Port, and when the green light on Tonneliers lelard Lears E. S. E. , steer for it if the wind be favorable under easy sail ; if the night be clear the Shipping at the Bell Buoy will be seen and afford a good mark ; keep the lead going and bring the two Harbour Lights to bear as already described, and anchor .

I HAVE the honor to report for the information of the Right Hon'ble the Commander- in - Chief, that I received on the morning of the 12th instant, intima- tion from Captain McMahon, Her Majesty's 14th Dragoons, Conimanding a small force near the con- fluence of the Jumna, Chumbul , and Sindh Rivers , that the Rebels had passed into the Lohar Pergunnah of Kuchwazlıur . Believing that their course would be up the jungles of the Sindh River, I marched from Gwalior with a force as per mar- gin at 2 P. м . , proceed to Dubbra, according to the in- the enemy.

to me that the Enemy whom he estimated at 2,000 (chiefly Cavalry) strong, were encaınped in a deep glen, in a very thick jungle , about 11 miles South West of this place near Sypoor Village. This man had just returned from their Camp, on an unsuccess- ful visit to recover his property, and in revenge for being beaten and abused , gave me this, the sole infor- mation, I have hitherto been able to obtain from the people of this district regarding the Rebels' move- ments. Leaving my Camp standing in charge of 42 men, the Column was ordered at once to march, and left Camp very silently by 6 P. M. Favored by bright moonlight we arrived at the place indicated by 11 P. M., marching latterly through very dense jungle, and at once attacked the Enemy's Camp , which was situated in a deep ravine surrounded by vast jungle. Owing to the bad narrow rocky path our two Guns could not keep up , so I pushed forward with the Infantry only, consisting of 20 R. and F. Royal Engineers, 50 R. and F. H. M. 86th Foot, and 100 R. and F. 25th Bombay N. L. I. under Lieutenants Festing and Waller. We shot down the Rebel Picket , and charged completely through their long winding Camp causing the Enemy to flee with the utmost despatch, and seek shelter among the dense foliage, on all sides around their position . Owing to the great haste with which they fled merely a very few Rebels were killed, but we captured nearly 100 horses , several camels , many arms and much clothing ( with which the ground was every where covered .) We had no loss . The Rebels made no stand, and scarcely returned our fre . We passed the night on the Enemy's encamping ground, and at dawn Captain Cochrane with 100 Meade's Horse started in pursuit, while the rest of the Goonah Column returned to Arone , and has just arrived. I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated Esaughur, 21st December 1858 . Brigadier Smith from whom I have just heard, was at Kache-Kain 22nd December , and will be to -day at Seronge. I will communicate with him at once. Lieutenant Stack's escort was attacked as you sup- pose, his loss I do not know, but have heard 2 Troop- ers 1st Lancers were killed, while some camels and baggage were taken by the Enemy. We found in the Rebels' Camp last night some accoutrements belonging to 1st Lancers , such as a sword, two carbines , caps , forage, belts and clothing. I have sent messages by telegraph of my movements to Sir R. Hamilton and Major Macpherson. I have presented the guide Rupees 50, service money, as promised him for point- ing out the Rebel Camp . Pending your further orders the Goonah Column halts here.

formation I might receive, to intercept At Autree where the Force rested during part of the night , I received, at 24. M. of the 13th , when on the point of proceeding to Dubbra , an express from the Political Agent of Gwalior to the effect that his in- formation led him to believe that the Rebels would pass by Gohud to the North of Gwalior; this caused me to halt until I should receive by the morning post, precise information from Captain McMahon . At 10 A. M. , the Tussildar of Autree informed me he had just ridden in from Dubbra, the very place of my destination, and had seen the smoke of the Staging Bungalow , which the Rebels were then burning, and that they were proceeding in a South westerly direction. I ini- mediately marched South in pursuit , and at Beettiwar, where I arrived at 1-30 4. M. of the 14th , 1 was informed that theEnemy were three kos (in this country 8 or 9 miles) distant . The force had been on the move for 13 hours and required a rest . Owing to delay in getting grass and disposing of a rear party of the Enemy's Infantry , in which some of Mahratta Horse , under fire for the first time greatly distinguish- ed themselves , I did not get away until 10 A.

I continued the pursuit through Nurwar , where I left behind the greater portion of the Detachment of the 71st and the Artillery which could not keep up with me, and took on merely the Cavalry, and 38 men of the 71st Ilighlanders on Camels and 25 of the Bolundsher Horse, that were halted at Nurwar on their way to Kerara, owingto the news of the Enemy's approach ; and after a very exciting, though fatigu- ing chase we overtook the Rebels on the morning of the 17th at Ranode . Their course had boen South ofNurwar and through the Amola Pass , and their direction appeared to be along the right bank of the Sindh.

Twice we were encamped within a few miles of them , but owing to the darkness and our ignorance of the country, and to its hilly and jungly character, we could not take advantage of it . They chose the most difficult and unfrequented paths , evidently guided by somo one well acquainted with them . Once or twice we were close on their traces and cut off stragglers or took their horses , the riders throwing themselves off, and darting into the dense thickets , which almost closed up the paths ; at one moment I believed they were driven into the hands of Colonel Scudamore , Her Majesty's 14th Dragoons , who according to the instruc tions and information I had sent him , had posted his | Detachment on the right bank of the Sindh below No. 183 of 1850.-The Right Hon'ble the Governor General of India in Council is pleased to direct the publication of the following Report [ 388 ]

SIR,

The Detachment 2nd Mahratta Horse under my Command having been so recently raised, am induced to bring to the notice of Brigadier General Sir R. Napier , K. C. B. , Commanding , a little affair which occurred near Camp on the 14th instant, and trust that it will meet with the General's satisfaction.

My videttes caught and brought in a Rebel , a straggler from the force marching under Feroz Shah , who nformed me that about 20 or 30 others were not far off. I immediately sent out a small party under Moortaza Khan , the Woordie Major, to watch them . As soon as he came upon them , they numbering upwards of40 Infantry retreated to a small rocky hill inaccessible for Cavalry, but not before two of their number had been killed and five wounded . They watched them in this place for some time, and having received the order

o march they retired to Camp . The Woordie Majer speaks highly of the conduct of the whole of his party, but more especially of that ofSowar Shadee Ram, who was severely wounded by a Musket ball . The Detachment succeeded in capturingcapturing several staud ofArms .

ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE ; Allahabad, The 15th January 1859.

No. 642 .

TO THE ADJUTANT GENERAL OF THE BENGAL ARMY , Allahabad.

Dated Camp Kirwee , 28th December 1858 .

SIR,

No. 184 of 1859. The RightRight Hon'ble the Governor General of India in Council is pleased to admit Jemadar Jehan Khan , of the Towana Horse, temporarily attached to the Maharatta Horse, to the 2nd Class of the Order of British India, with the title of " Bahadoor, " in consider ation of his conspicuous gallantry brought to notice in Brigadier General Sir . R. Napier's Des- patch, published in the foregoing General Order .

I HAVE the honor for the information of the Right Hon'ble the Commander- in -Chiefto ac- quaint you that on the evening of the 23rd instant, I received at Mahoba at 7 o'clock P. M. , an express from Kirwee to the effect that between 5 and 6,000 Rebels , 600 of whom were Sepoys , had attacked the Palace, surrounded it and were keeping up a very heavy fire from all sides .

I started at 9 o'clock with the Head Quarters of

ATroop Horse Artillery .

One Squadron H. M. 12th Royal Lancers.

the Division and marched to Kirwee, a distance of 88 miles in 37 hours . I found that the Rebels hearing of our approach had aban- doned their intention of

2nd Hyderulbul Contingent. making a second attack ; their first having been repulsed, and had fled to the Hills close in the vicinity ofKirwee.

No. 185 of 1859. The Right Hon'ble the Go- vernor General of India in Council has much sa- tisfaction in publishing the following letter from Major General Whitlock , Commanding Saugor Field Division, submitting the Report of Captain Woodland, of an attack by the Rebels on the Palace of Kirwee, in repelling which that Officer and his brave Garrison well earned for themselves the commendation bestowed on them by Major General Whitlock .

[ 391 ]

The Rewah Levies under Lieutenant-Colonel Hinde from Bandah, reached this place a distance of 48 miles in 38 hours .

6 P. M. , when finding all their offorts ineffectual they suspended operations , but from the fact of four sca ling ladders having been found after the Enemy had finally retired, it is evident that their only object was to concert a second and more resolute attack, in which they were fortunately baffled by the timely arrival on the morning of the 25th instant of the Force undor the immediate Command of Major General Whitlock .

The Dotachments of the 3rd European Sappers and Miners and 50th Regiment N. I. which marched from Mahoba at the same time with Division Head Quarters , arrived here last night . They would have come in at the same time with the Rewah Levies in the morning, but that I had directed them to halt ten miles from this, a sthere was then no necessity for their forcing one . As the Enemy carried off their killed and wounded I am unable to estimate the number of casualtics they sustained, but I am happy to say that only one Match- lockman belonging to the Tahsildar of the place , was killed on our side .

I cannot speak in terms of too high praise of the cheerfulness , alacrity, and spirit displayedby every grade on the occasion, and I have no hesitation in stating that the safety of the Palace and the Garrison which held it, may be attributed to the opportune arrival of the Artillery and Cavalry, as I have ascer- tained that the Rebels after their first repulse had taken forcible possession of a Gun from a neighbour- ing Rajah to bring before the place.

I am much indebted and beg to return my best thanks to Captain W. S. Richardson, H. M.'s 43rd Light Infantry, whose zeal and activity were most conspicuous throughout the whole affair' Jemadar Shikh Mustapha , 1st Regiment Native Infantry , Color Serjeant Green , H. M.'s 48rd Light Infantry, and Scrjeant Smith , of the Royal Artillery, also merit my highest praise . To the above I would also add the name of Assistant Apothecary Isaacke as deserving of commendation.

I now perform a very gratifying duty in submitting the report of Captain Woodland, 1st Regiment N. I. , the Officer Commanding the Garrison , for Lord Cleyde's information, and beg to bring this Officer most prominently to His Lordship's notice . Captain Wood- land's gallantry and perseverance in holding the Palace with so small a force are most creditable to him and will, I trust , be considered worthy of his Lordship's favorable consideration .

In conclusion, I beg to point out that the Troops were under arms from midnight of the 20th instant till 10 A. M. of the 25th instant , during whole of this time the strenuous and unremitting exertions of all Ranks , Native and European, entitle them to the highest praiso .

Captain Richardson , of H. M.'s 43rd Regiment Light Infantry , was most active and energetic throughout, and I beg to bring his name also to his Lordship's notice.

Jemadar Shikh Mustapha, 1st Regiment M. N. I. , ap- pears to have been indefatigable in the performance of his duty, and Captains Woodland and Richardson speak in the highest terms of this Native Officer's services.

The Major General from his local knowledge of the place will appreciate the difficulties that had to be overcome, not only was the discipline portion of the Enemy vastly superior to our sinall Garrison , but the ineligibility of the place for purposes of defence, the necessity that existed of prev ously de- molishing the surrounding houses (in whichi labor we

were actually occupied on the approach of the Enemy,) the inferior description of orduance with which we Color Sergeant Green, H. M.'s 43rd Regiment Light Infantry, and Sergeant Smith , of the Royal Artillery , have merited favorable mention of their names in Captain Woodland's Despatch .

THE 21ST FEBRUARY 1859 .

His Excellency the Governor General of India in Council is pleased to notify for general informa- tion the Financial measures which have been resolved upon, in order to provide means for carrying on the Public Service in the coming Year 1859-60 .

On the 16th of January 1857 , a Five- per - Cent Loan was opened, in supersession of the Four-and- a-half-per - Cent Loan opened on the 30th of August 1856 , which had been found, in the then state of the Money Market, not to afford sufficient inducement to Capitalists . On the 30th of April 1857 , the Financial position of the Government of India was excellent . The Annual deficit which had been experienced for several years , and which in 1853-54 had amounted to Rupees 211 Lacs, chiefly in consequence of the great extension in late years of Public Works , was reduced for the Year 1856-57 to the small sum of Rupees 18 Lacs , and this Financial restoration had been accomplished without the stoppage of those great works of material improvement of which India is so much in need. But as the Government had raised but a small amount in the way of Loan, after the closing of the Five- per- Cent Public Works' Loan in October 1855, the Cash Balances in India had fallen so low that the opening of an effectively drawing Loan had become indispensable .

In May 1857 the Revolt of the Bengal Native Army broke out, and it became necessary by adequate measures both in India and at Home, to provide the means of making those extraordinary exertionstions by which , under the blessing of Providence, the Indian Empire has been saved, and tranquillity has been restored .

The Government at IIome undertook all the charges which had to be met at Home, both the ordinary IIome charges of each year, and the extraordinary Home charges which the despatch to India of a large English Force, and the provision of an immense supply of the Munitions of War, (a vast quantity of which had been lost or destroyed, ) rendered necessary and it assisted the Indian Exchequer , at the moment of greatest pressure, by the remittance of a Million Sterling in Bullion . These objects were met by the issue at Home of temporary debentures to the amount of Eight Millions Sterling. The Government of India had the task of providing for the main part of the extraordinary War charges , which of course had to be disbursed in India ; and for the Barrack Accommodation of many thousand additional Europeans ; as also for the restoration of the Treasure which had been plundered ; and this it had to do, when nearly all the Revenues of one of the Local Governments had been swept away.

The Five -par - Cent Loan, which would have been adequate for ordinary wants and in ordi- nary times , was found to be inadequate at this time of extreme pressure . Accordingly it was necessary to induce Capitalists to come to the assistance of the State, by an enhancement of the terms ; and the Governor General in Council resolved to borrow at Six - per- Cent .

He was aware that this could not be done without in some degree affecting injuriously those Holders of the Paper of former Loans, who had not purchased for purposes of permanent investment : but this is the condition of all such Holders of Government Stock in all Countries , whenever a great exigency forces upon the State the necessity of raising a large sum in a limited time. The Governor General in Council, however , was desirous to save such Holders from loss, as far as that could be done consistently with the paramount object in view . Therefore, instead of simply opening a Six -per- Cent Loan, which would have brought down the price of Four and Five per Cent Paper to a low point, he threw open the existing Five-per-Cent Loan to subscriptions half in Cash , and half in Four- per -Cent Paper. This arrangement for many months answered the purpose, the market price of the Paper former Loans was but little affected by the operation ; and the expectations of Government were fully met by large and regular subscriptions through the medium of the then existing Holders of Four-per - Cent Stock , or those whowho purchapurchased of them for the express purpose of subscribing to the Loan. From the opening of this conversion Loan to the present time upwards of Eight Crores have been paid in in Cash .

Latterly, however, whether from the partial exhaustion of such Holders of Four- per - Cent Paper as are able and willing to convert it , or to sell it at such a price as will induce the Capitalist to buy it for the purpose of conversion, or from some other cause, this conversion process has failed to afford the income which in the present temporary exigency is necessary for the Public Service . For many weeks paat the subscriptions to the conversion Loan have fallen to less than half what they were ; and they have shewn no prospect of improvement .

In this state of things, the Government of India, having the Public Service to provide for, had no choice but to adopt some change of measure by which it could hope to obtain the requisite funds before the Cash Balances should become exhausted . The Governor General in Council did not doubt that the rate of Six - per - Cent , which Government were paying, was ample Interest to induce the Capitalist to subscribe . But it was apparent that from some cause or other , the requisite funds , even at that rate, could no longer be procured exclusively through the medium of Holders of Four - per - Cent Stock . There was therefore nothing to be done but to look for subscriptions either through the medium of some other class, or from Capitalists generally .

In this state of things the Governor General in Council resolved, on the 26th of January last, to adopt a new arrangement in respect to the open Loan, from the commencement of the approaching Financial year . Accordingly he gave notice of the closing on the 30th of April next of the Four -per- Cent conversion arrangement . By this warning all remaining Holders of that Stock for whose benefit it may be to take advantage of that arrangement will still have full opportunity of so doing. Up to the end of the Current Commercial Year, Holders of Four- per- Cent Paper will still have it in their power, on subscribing to the open Loan, to obtain Six - per - Cent for the Cash subscribed .

In order to throw open the door, in some manner, to the general Capitalist, Treasury Bills , bearing a somewhat lower rate of Interest , were issued ; and the Governor General in Council , looking to the very large extraordinary expenditure which must still remain to be incurred in the coming year, made application to the Right Hon'ble the Secretary of State for India for assistance in the way of Bullion Remittances from IIome, to the extent of Three Millions Sterling .

It had been the wish of the Governor General in Council to await the answer of the Secretary of State which may be expected by the 1st of May ; as also to allow time to show practically what may be expected as the result of the above - mentioned measures , beforo determining upon the course to be adopted on the 1st of May for the service of the coming year . But the late fluctuations in the Stock Market, though the manifest result of an unfounded and happily short - lived panic, and the representations of the Mercantile Community, who are of opinion that in the present state of the Market uncertainty as to the future Financial operations of Government would be a great evil , have induced His Excellency in Council to anticipate the determination of this question, and to announce at once the arrangement which it is his intention to make in India for the service of the Year 1859-60 .

Reductions in the present enormous War Charges will be made as early and to as great an extent as may be safe . Measures willbe taken for the permanent increase of the Indian Revenues as largely as may be consistent with sound policy . But the full benefit of these operations will not be felt in 1859-60 .

TheGovernor General in Council hereby announces that the amount of money for which he will look to the Indian Market to be raised by Loan in order to provide for the service of 1859-60, is Five Crores of Rupees . When this amount shall have been realized, the Loan of 1859-60 will be closed , and no further Loan will be opened in India during that year .

In pursuance of the principle adopted on the 20th of July 1857 , the Loan to be opened on the 1st May next willbe a Five-and - a- Ilalf- per-Cent Loan, to which subscriptions, will be receivable in Cash or half in Cash and half in Five- per- Cent Paper .

If this Loan should not produce the required amount,amount, the Governor General in Council will re- commend to the Right Hon'ble the Secretary of State that the deficiency should be supplied from England. No Loan carrying a higher rate of Interest will be opened in India in the course of the your 1559-60 , unless under instructions from the Home Government .

Financial Department.

FortWilliam, the 21st February 1859 .

On the 16th of January 1857 , a Five -per - Cent Loan was opened, in supersession of the Four-and- n-half-per- Cent Loan opened on the 30th of August 1856 , which had been found, in the then state of the Money Market, not to afford sufficient inducement to Capitalists . On the 30th of April 1857 , the Financial position of the Government of India was excellent . The Annual deficit which had been experienced for several years , and which in 1853-54 had amounted to Rupees 211 LaLacs , chiefly in consequence of the great extension in late years of Public Works , was reduced for the Year 1856-57 to the small sum of Rupees 18 Lacs, and this Financial restoration had been accomplished without the stoppage of those great works of material improvement of which India is so much in need . But as the Government had raised but a small amount in the way of Loan, after the closing of the Five - per - Cent Public Works ' Loan in October 1855 , the Cash Balances in India had fallen so low that the opening of an effectively drawing Loan had become indispensable .

InMay 1857 the Revolt of the Bengal Native Army broke out, and it became necessary by adequate measures both in India and at Home , to provide the means of making those extraordinary exertions by which, under the blessing of Providence , the Indian Empire has been saved, and tranquillity has been restored .

The Government at Home undertook all the charges which had to be met at Home , both the ordinary Home charges of each year, and the extraordinary Home charges which the despatch to India of a large English Force , and the provision of an immense supply of the Munitions of War, ( a vast quantity of which had been lost or destroyed, ) rendered necessary and it assisted the Indian Exchequer, at the moment of greatest pressure , by the remittance of a Million Sterling in Bullion . These objects were met by the issue at Home of temporary debentures to the amount of Eight Millions Sterling . The Government of India had the task of providing for the main part of the extraordinary War charges , which of course had to be disbursed in India ; and for the Barrack Accommodation of many thousand additional Europeans ; as also for the restoration of the Treasure which had been plundered; and this it had to do, when nearly all the Revenues of one of the Local Governments had been swept away.

The Five-por - Cent Loan, which would have been adequate for ordinary wants and in ordi- nary times, was found to be inadequate at this time of extreme pressure . Accordingly it was necessary to induce Capitalists to come to the assistance of the State, by an enhancement of the terms; and the Governor General in Council resolved to borrow at Six - per- Cent .

He was aware that this could not be done without in some degree aflecting injuriously those Holders of the Paper of former Loans, who had not purchased for purposes of permanent investment: but this is the condition of all such Holders of Government Stock in all Countries , whenever a great exigency forces upon the State the necessity of raising a large sum in a limited time. The Governor General in Council , however, was desirous to save such Holders from loss, as far as that could be done consistently with the paramount object in view . Therefore, instead of simply opening a Six -per- Cent Lan, which would have brought down the price of Four and Five per Cent Paper to a low point, he threw open the existing Five - per - Cent Loan to subscriptions half in Cash, and half in Four -per - Cent Paper . This arrangement for many months answered the purpose, the market price of the Paper of tormer Loans was but little affected by the operation ; and the expectations of Government were fully met by large and regular subscriptions through thethe medium of the then existing Holders of Four-per- Cent Stock , or those who purchasewho purchased of them for the express purpose of subscribing to the Loan. From the opening of this conversion Loan to the present time upwards of Eight Crores have been paid in in Cash .

Latterly, however, whether from the partial exhaustion of such Holders of Four -per- Cent Paper as are able and willing to convert it, or to sell it at such a price as will induce the Capitalist to buy it for the purpose of conversion, or from some other cause, this conversion process has failed to afford the income which in the present temporary exigency is necessary for the Public Service. For many weeks past the subscriptions to the conversion Loan have fallen to less than half what they were ; and they have shewn no prospect of improvement .

In this state of things , the Government of India , having the Public Service to provide for, had no choice but to adopt some change of measure by which it could hope to obtain the requisite funds before the Cash Balances should become exhausted . The Governor General in Council did not doubt that the rate of Six - per - Cent , which Government were paying, was ample Interest to induce the Capitalist to subscribe . But it was apparent that from some cause or other, the requisite funds , even at that rate, could no longer be procured exclusively through the medium of Holders of Four -per -Cent Stock. There was therefore nothing to be done but to look for subscriptions either through the medium of soine other class , or from Capitalists generally .

it may be to take advantage of that arrangement will still have full opportunity of so doing . Up to the end of the Current Commercial Year, Holders of Four - per - Cent Paper will still have it in their power, on subscribing to the open Loan , to obtain Six -per- Cent for the Cash subscribed .

In order to throw open the door, in some manner , to the general Capitalist , Treasury Bills, bearing a somewhat lower rate of Interest, were issued; and the Governor General in Council , looking to the very large extraordinary expenditure which must still remain to be incurred in the coming year, made application to the Right Hon'ble the Secretary of State for India for assistance in the way of Bullion Remittances from IIome, to the extent of Three Millions Sterling .

It had been the wish of the Governor General in Council to await the answer of the Secretary of State which may be expected by the 1st of May ; as also to allow time to show practically what may be expected as the result of the above-mentioned measures, before determining upon the course to be adopted on the 1st of May for the service of the coming year. But the late fluctuations in the Stock Market , though the manifest result of an unfounded and happily short - lived panic, and the representations of the Mercantile Community , who are of opinion that in the present state of the Market uncertainty as to the future Financial operations of Government would be a great evil , have induced His Excellency in Council to anticipate the determination of this question, and to announce at once the arrangement which it is his intention to make in India for the service of the Year 1859-60 .

The Governor General in Council hereby announces that the amount of money for which he will look to the Indian Market to be raised by Loan in order to provide for the service of 1859-60, is Five Crores of Rupees . When this amount shall have been realized, the Loan of 1859-60 will be closed, and no further Loan will be opened in India during that year .

In pursuance of the principle adopted on the 20th of July 1857 , the Loan to be opened on the 1st May next will be a Five - and - a- Half-per-Cent Loan, to which subscriptions will be receivable in Cash or half in Cash and half in Five- per - Cent Paper .

If this Loan should not produce the required amount, the Governor General in Council will re- commend to the Right Hon'ble the Secretary of State that the deficiency should be supplied from England. No Loan carrying a higher rate of Interest will be opened in India in the course of the year 1859-60 , unless under instructions from the Home Government .

The issue of Treasury Bills , on the terms notified on the 26th of January 1859 , will be closed on the 30th of April ; a new issue of Treasury Bills will be notified from the 1st of May, bearing Interest at the rate of 2 Pie per Centum per diem.

The sum ,which may be received upon these Notes will not be counted as a part of the Five Crores which the Government desire to raise by Loun .

FROM MAJOR-GENERAL HUGH ROSE, Comdg. Field Forces , South of the Nerbudda, TO MAJOR-GENERAL SIR WILLIAM MANSFIELD , K.C.B. , Chief of the Staff of the Army in India, Dated Poonah , 13th October 1858 .

SIR,

The vigorous and successful operations of the Central Indian Field Force in June last had a widely spread effect in pacifying the Provinces, not only of Central India, but of the North-Western Government; and the Governor Generalin Council cordially thanks Major General Sir H. Rose , and the Officers and Men of that distinguished Field Force and other Troops , placed under my com- I HAVE the honor to report to you for the information of the Commander -in -Chief in India , the operations against Gwalior of the Central India mandby His Excellency .

SIR,

After the capture of Calpee the first reports made 2Troops 3rd Born Lt. Cavalry , 150 Hydrabad Cavalry . No. 18 Light Field Battery . 8Companies 25th Bombay N.I. to me by Lieutenant -Colo- nel Robertson, Commanding the Column of pursuit, were to the effect that the scat- tered partics of the routed Rebel Army, without guns, tents, &c. , were making , in the utmost disorder , for the Sheer Ghat via Jaloun, a ford across the Jumna, 85 or 40 miles to the North -east of Calpee. Subse- quent accounts from the same Officer stated that a great part of the Rebels had, after leaving Jaloun , made a turn in a more Westerly direction , which was contrary to the one Sir Robert Hamilton felt persuad- ed the Rebels would follow ; he was certain that they would make for Oude and cross the Jumna at the Sheer Ghat ; or the ford to the West of it , near

Juggurmanpore . In this uncertainty Lieutenant-Colonel Robertson, with good judgment, took up a position with the pursuing Column, which enabled him not to be the I HAVE the honor, by desire of the Com- mander - in - Chief, to enclose , for submission to Ilis Excellency the Right Hon'ble the Governor Gene- ral, a Despatch dated 13th October last, received [ 2 ]

dupe of a feigned move to draw him off the real chase , | but to follow the Rebels by the shortest line, should they move Westwards or Northwards .

with abundance of Warlike Stores into the hands of the enemy . In short , the Rebels who had fled, in the most disorderly flight and helpless state from Calpee, were now completely set up with abundance of money, a capital park of Artillery, plenty of material, and Scindiah's Army , as their allies .

1Wing Her Majesty's 80th Regiment . Ashort rest having enabled my EuropeanEuropean Troops to recover a little, I rein- forced Licutenant-Colonel Robertson with the Troops detailed in the margin . 2 Squadrons Her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoous .

Gwalior itself , without the Fort, was a prize of no ordinary value , comprising the Old City, and the " Lushker," that is the ancient Mahratta Camp, con- verted into a handsome and flourishing City, both to- gether containing a population of 1,70,000 souls , Subsequent reports from Lieutenant- Colonel Robert- son stated that he had reason to think,hink, that all the Rebels had decidedly taken a WesterlyWesterly direction,direction and that they had been reinforced by 800 Oude Cavalry under Ruheen Ali Nurut , of Bareilly.

But other circumstances combined to render the loss of Gwalior the most serious event which had occur- red since the rovolt .

Lieutenant-Colonel Robertson followed the line to the West taken by the Rebels, from Jaloun towards the Pohooj and Scinde Rivers, and got into communication with the Rajah of Rampoora, to the West of the Pahooj , a faithful friend of the English ; Lieutenant- Colonel Robertson's intelligence and knowledge of the Natives , and their language, enabled him to obtain some very valuable information from this person ; and that Officer reported to me , in two expresses , that the Calpee Rebels had certainly taken the road to Gwalior .

Scindiah, the Maharajah or Prince of (Gwalior, is our very faithful ally ; and with one exception he is the most powerful of the independant Princes of India . The centrical and geographical position of the Gwalior States and their extent , give their Rulers great political and Military power over the whole of India . The main artery of communication and the electric line from Bombay to Central India, Agra , and the North- Western Provinces , traverse for hun- dreds of miles Scindiah's dominions .

Scindiah's Troops , who went over to the Rebels were the best organized anddrilled of all the Native Levies .

To render this state of things still more erabarras- sing , Gwalior fell into Robel hands, at the most unfavourable time of the year for Military operations ; on the eve of the great rains, and when the heat of summer was at its maximum .

No. 4 Light Field Battery 2 Troops Her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons .

1 Wing Her Majesty's 71st Regument. 1Wing Her Majesty's 86th

So little was at that time the great intrigue of Tantia Topee against Scindiah's power even suspected, that the best authority for intelligence could not bring himself to think that Lieutenant -Colonel Robert- sonwas not mistaken in his information . However, not many hours after the arrival of Lieutenant -Colonel Robertson's last express , Sir Robert Hamilton received similar intelligence ; when I instantly ordered off Brigadier Stuart , with the Force detailed in the margin, to reinforce Lieute nant-Colonel Robertson, and march on Gwalior after the Rebels .

Before the taking of Calpeo, in compliance with instructions from the Governor -General and the Commander- in - Chief in India, conveyed to me through Sir Robert Hamilton, that after the taking of that place, and the breaking up of the Central India Field Force , part of it should be sent to Gwalior, and the rest to Jhansi , as Garrisons for those places, I had sub- mitted to His Lordship the details of the distribution of Troops for the two services .

No one therefore could foresee the extent of evil if Gwalior were not promptly wrested from the Rebels ; if Tantia Topee, with the immense acquisition of political influence and Mihtary strength, which the possession of that place gave the Rebel cause , had time to re -organize the Calpee Army, which he could easily do , with the resources of Gwalior at his disposal . The worst forebodings , would have come to pass , if Tantia Topee leaving either the Calpec , or the Gwalior Army at Gwalior , for its defence marched with the other Southwards and unfurled the standard of the Peshwar in the Deccan and Southern Mahrattas . These Districts , and the West of India generally , were very much denuded of Troops ; and the attachment of the inhabitants of the ancient Peishwarate to their former Government , is too well known to admit of a doubt as to what course they would have pursued, if Tantia Topee had ap- peared amongst them with a large Army .

The inhabitants of Indore had given so many proofs of unfavourable feeling, that there was reason to fear that they would, if the opportunity offered, follow the example of Gwalior.

The news received for the next few days was very uncertain and contradictory. An express letter from Scindiah's Agent at Gwalior removed apprehensions for his safety , and that of his Government ; it stated that the Rebels, who were in a destitute condition, had being still several miles from Gwalior, implored Scindiah's favor and protection in language and with a demeanour the reverse of hostile .

It was of vital importance that Troops should reach Gwaliorbefore the rains set in ; firstly, because Ihad no pontoons for Siege Artillery ; and to have transported the Siege Guns across the Scinde and Pohooj Rivers , swoller to a great height by the rains , would have been most difficult, if not impossible. Secondly, the Siege of the Fort or City of Gwalior, protracted by the difficulties consequent on the monsoons , would have had the worst effect on our Military prestige and the state of affairs .

The Governor General expressed, a wish that not an hour should be lost in reaching Gwalior . I therefore leaving by order Captain Qnımaney's Royal Artillery Battery of four 9 - pounders , belonging to the 2nd Brigade Central India Field Force , as part of the permanent garrison of Calpee, and one Troop 3rd Bombay Light Cavalry, 21st Company Royal Engineers, a Wing of the 3rd Bombay Europeans , and 400 of the 24th Bombay Native Infantry, to garrison Calpoe until relieved by Bengal

Subsequent accounts from Lieutenant -Colonol Robertson, which were confirmed by Sir Robert Hamilton, conveyed the news which created a sensation throughout India, only equalled by that which was caused by the first mutinies. The Rebel Army had attacked Scindiah at Bahadurpoor, 9 miles from Gwalior ; his Troops of all Arms , with the exception of a few of his Body Guard, had treacherously gone over, the Artillery in mass, to the enemy . His High- ness himself, after bravely doing his best to make his Troops do their duty, had been forced by the fire of his own Artillery , and the combined attacks of his Troops , and of the Rebel Army, to fly to Agra, which he reached with difficulty , accompanied only by one or two attendants ; the Rebels had entered Gwalior , taken Scindiah's Treasury and Jewels , the latter said to be of fabulous value ; the Garrison of the Fort of Gwalior, considered to be one of the strongest , if not the strongest , Fortress in India, had , after a mock resistance, opened its gates to the Rebels ; finally from 50 to 60 fine guns , comprising Horse , Field and Siege Artı lery, had fallen, as well as an Arsenal

These нате men, the next day unmindful of their illness , fell in with their Companies , and took part in the assault of Gwalior , which corroborates what I said in a previous report , that the spirit of the Soldiers often made them fight when they were too weak to march .

Morar, the Military Station ' and an outwork of Gwalior, was an important strategical point . It gave me the command of the line of the Morar River of the roadto Agra, and enabled me to communicate with Brigadier Smith to the left , and the Residency to the right .

The Rebels were surprized by my rapid march from Calpce; they intended to make a determined stand at Morar, and had commenced storing it with supplies, which fell into our hands . They had not time to burn the houses, still standing since the mutiny, nor the temporary sheds preparedby Sein-

Brigadier Smith reported to me that in consequence of the enemy occupying in great numbers the hills opposite " Kotah - ka- Serai " on the other side of the river Morar, and pressing on him , he had advanced from his position at " Kotah -ka-Serai," and following the road from that place to Gwalior, by the ford across the river , had attacked and driven the enemy from the hills , on his right front , and occupied the road , which led through a pass , about two miles in length, through the hills, and to the left or South side of a very deep and dry old canal cut out of the rock, which led from the ford close by the left of the road through the pass, to the fopt of the rock or Fort of Gwalior .

The enemy retained possession of the hills to the left of the pass and canal .

To the left of the road and canal in the pass rose from a narrow plain a succession of slopes , intersected by ravines ; a ridge ran along the top of the slopes, on which the enemy had placed a Battery of 9 -pounders . To protect the Battery and position , the enemy had concentrated a numerous force of all Arms on the ridge, as well as a large body of Cavalry in rear of it . About a mile and a half further back , and about the same distance from the left of the road , was stationed in a gorge of the hills , a large body of the enemy's Infantry, with guns . They guarded a road which branched off from the ford Southwards through the hills to Gwalior .

It was clear that the enemy must be driven from both positions , the one on the ridge and the other in the gorge , before I advanced on Gwalior .

My reconnoisance of ( walior satisfied me that the information on which I had decided to attack it was good. If I had attacked it from Morar, I should have had to cross the plain between Morar and Gwalior, under the fire of the Fort, and of masked and formidable batteries, established in strong houses and gardens on the banks of the old canal, and a dry river in front of the Phool Bagh Palace . Icould not leave " Morar"

I The enemy by occupying positions on the hills so far from and unsupported by Gwalior had exposed himself to be cut off. The impediment to my doing so, was the deep canal , impracticable for Cavalry and Infantry; on this obstacle the enemy probably relied for protection . To remove it , I directed the Company of Madras Sappers and Miners to make a bridge some way, to the left rear of our position across the canal . The bridge or dam was to be ready by sun- set. fhade the plan to cross over this bridge during the night, with a force of all arms , get on the South roadto Gwalior through the hills above-mentioned, place myself between Gwalior and the enemy's two positions ; fall on them a little before day - break , when Her Majesty's 86th and 95th Regiments supported by the rest of Brigadier Smith's Brigade , were concealed by the ravines , to attack their front and turn their left flank .

an effective fire on the enemy , joined with the rest ofhis Regiment, and reinforced Major Vialls on the lowest slope.

I determined to make a general advance against all the positions which the enemy occupied for the defence of Gwalior , extending from beyond the palace of the Phool Bagh on their right , to the extensive Barracks on the left of the grand parade of the " Lushker, " and then take the " Lushker" by assault .

For this purpose , I ordered the 3rd Troop Bombay Horse Artillery with a squadron of the 8th Hussars to follow the road which led out of the pass , and ad- vance, covering my extreme right parallel with the Troops attacking Gwalior .

Lieutenant-Colonel Raines perceived a large body of the enemy's Cavalry in the vicinity of the two 18- pounders now placed in Battery , who he believed were posted there for the purpose of making a dash at the British Troops, should thethey attempt to take the guns . He therefore halted and waited for orders and reinforcements , placing two Companies of the 95th in skirmishing order , lying down along the crest of the hill, a part of the 10th Bombay Native Infantry being in rear as supports . The enemy now took courage to come out , and fired the 18-pounders with grape and canister at our position , on which Lieute- nant-Colonel Raines detached some skirmishers of the 95th to covered ground to his front , who kept up with their Enfields such an effective fire on the 18-pounders and the Cavalry, that after firing eight rounds , the enemy was obliged to cease firing, and retire behind the buildings of the grand parade

Lieutenant-Colonel Owen, with the 1st Bombay Lancers , had been movedto the heights to cover the captured guns ; the rapidity and dexterity with which they got over very dificult ground does the Regiment and thoir Commander much oredit . I now ordered them to descend the heights to the rear, get into the road which lod through the hills to the South, and occupy the entrance to it, which led to the grand parade, for the purpose of assisting in the attack of

that important point and of the " Lushker ." 1 left a sufficient force of all arms for the protec- tion of my Camp which was exposed.

Lieutenant Knatchbull , and seven or tight men of No. 1 Company of the 95th Regiment , dragged a small howitzer and its tumbril, captured by the 10th Bombay Native Infantry up the slope, and opened fire with it on the enemy behind the buildings .

Ihad some time before ordered up No. 4 Light Field Battery with two Troops of Her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons to the heights to cover my advanced line, and to answer the enemy's Batteries in position infront of Gwalior. The hilly and difficult nature of the ground, particularly the deep canal which the guns had to traverse, prevented their arrival .

The advanced line was irregular , as it followed the formation of the hills . The 86th formed the left which was in advance ; the 95th the right , was refused.

The Officer Commanding No. 4 Light Field Battery, by following the road through the pass beyond its entrance, had found a passage , a very difficult one , across the canal ; but on taking them up a bridle road which led to the heights , a gun upset and delayed very inopportunely the arrival of this Artillery on the heights . Lieutenant Goldsworthy, of Her Majesty's 8th Hussars , who acted as my Aide-de- Camp during the day, and whose activity and intelligence were most useful to mo , at last brought up one 9 -pounder to the heights .

The enemy were firing with much vivacity, but little effect, from the Batteries on the right, and the cар- tured guns were answering them .

The left of the 86th who pursued , across a deep ravine to the range of hills to the South, the body of the enemy who retreated to the left had returned and rested their left on a hamlet situate on the crest of the range which commanded Gwalior . The enemy immediatelybrought a Battery of two 18 -pounders in front of the grand parade tobear on the hamlet , and firing from a great elevation sent round shot into it in rapid succession and with accurate aim .

Large bodies of the enemy's Infantry and Cavalry were marching out of Gwalior, by all its issues , and moving towards us but not in order or with re- solution as if to attack, or take up a position of defence .

Skirmishers of the 86th had descended the hill towards the Barracks , and were advancing against the enemy, who had made a stand in houses amongst trees at the foot of the hill . Lieutenant-Colonel Raines with good judgment detached Captain Smith's Company of the 95th in support of them.

Besides storming the grand parade, from which I could enter the " Lushker " and pass by the main street to Scindiah's palace, I directed Brigadier Smith , with No. 3 Bombay Troop Horse Artillery and a squadron of Her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons , to be readyto attack the enemy's positions at the Phool Bagh and beyond it . This attack protected the right of the Troops attacking the grand parade , and turned at the same time the enemy's left.

I moved the 86th from the hamlet lower down the hill , extending them at large- intervals from the left to the right . This new position of the 86th rendered the fire of the 18- pounders harmless and gave more support to the skirmishers , who soon gave a good account of the enemy in the houses .

The 1st Bombay Lancers were to debouch from the entrance of the road on which I had placed them, charge the enemy on the grand parade, and assist the 95th in taking it .

The 10th Bombay Native Infantry were to support these Regiments .

In front of, and between the two hills occupied by the 86th and the 95th , was the last slope , a spur of the hill on which were the 86th commanding the rows of Barracks and the grand parade of the " Lushker, " to which the epemy, pressed by our advance, had now withdrawn the two 18 -pounders .

One 9- pounder, the only piece of Artillery which , on account of the ground, had been able to reach the heights , was to cover from the lowest slope the ad- vance of the 1st Lancers and of the 95th and to clear the grand parade .

The 86th were to remain in their position on the left of the heights , cover my left , and if necessary assist the Camp.

I occupied the left of this slope with a Wing of the 25th Bombay Native Infantry, which 1 brought up from the second line, leaving the other Wing in sup- port . I moved a party of the 95th down to the right of the slope under Major Vialls, who judiciously took possession of a strong powder magazine, sur- rounded by a wall at the further end of it .

One Wing of the 25th Bombay Native Infantry was to attack the Barracks and cover the left of the 95th attacking the grand parade . The other was to be in support on the slopes . Two Troops of the 14th Light Dragoons were in

support on the lower slopes . All being ready, I gave the word for the general attack of Gwalior .

Lieutenant Roome , with the 10th Regiment Bombay Native Infantry, on the right , after he had captured the guns and field pieces took with much spirit a strong building used as an Arsenal on his right , from which the enemy had poured a galling fire on his Regiment , and occupied a trench at the bottom of the hill on which was the Arsenal , from which the 10th kept up a heavy fire on the onemy , who had retreated to a position in front of Gwalior .

Lieutenant- Colonel Raines leaving a Company of the 95th to guard the captured guns, which kept up

I wrote to Sir Robert Hamilton, informing him of the capture of Gwalior, and took the liberty to sug gest with the expressions of my sincere respect and osteem for the Prince of Gwalior that the sooner His Highness returned to his Capital the better .

Gwalior, fight and gain two actions on the road one at the Morar Cantonments, the other at " Kotah- ka-Serai ; arrive at their posts from great distances and by bad roads, before Gwalior before the day appointed , the 19th of June ; and on that same day, carry by assault all the enemy's positions on strong heights , and in most difficult ground , taking one Bat- tery after another , twenty-seven pieces of Artillery in the action ; twenty - five in the pursuit ; besides the guns in the Fort ; the old City; the new City ; and finally the Rock of Gwalior hold to be one of the most important , and strongest Fortresses in India. Imarched on the 6th of June from Calpee for Gwalior, and on the 19th of the same month the

Gwalior States were restored to their Prince . His Lordship having been pleased to permit me on account of my health to give over the command to Brigadier General Napier, I did so on the 29th of June .

The next morning His Highness arrived at Gwalior with Sir Robert Ilamilton, Major Macpherson, and his retinue . I reeeived Scindiah with every possible mark of respect, and accompanied by all the superior Officers of the Forces , whose duties allowed then to be present, and all my personal and Divisional Staff had the honor of escorting His Highness to his palace in the " Lushker" with a squadron of Her Ma- jesty's 8th Hussars , and another of Her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons , most honorable representatives of my Force . Our road lay through the long and handsoine street which leads from the grand parade to the palace, which was linedby crowds of inhabi tants who greeted Scindiah with enthusiastic acclama- tions .

Ihave, &c. ,

(Signed) HUGH ROSE , Major General, Commanding Field Forces South of the Nerbudda.

The British Officers and Soldiers, as well as myself, were rejoiced to see that in restoring to his rights the brave and faithful ally of our Government and Country, we had also given back to his people a Ruler who to all appearance had won their aflections .

Scindiah is not a man of words , or professions ; but it is due to him to say that he has been unceasing in his endeavours to prove how deep his gratitude is to the Supreme Government of India for their most prompt, energetic, and successful efforts in his favor, and to the Troops who executed their orders in this respect . His Highness is always asking how he can prove those feelings to the Troops . To a communica- tion that His Iighness wished to present the Forces with six months' batta, I replied that I was extremely obliged to His Highness, but that it was quite impossible that we could recept pecuniary re- muneration from a foreign Prince; that we had only performed a grateful duty, and were abun- dantly rewarded by having been useful to a Prince, who had so bravely and so truly stood by our Govern- ment, and their cause'; His Highness , afterwards, ex- pressed the wish to give a medal for " Gwalior" to the Troops engaged.

On approaching the right of the Cantoninent, the enemy opened upon us from six guns , and 1 directed Lieutenant Harcourt, Commanding No. 18 Light Field Battery to engage them an order which he had barely received when hehe was summoned to join the 1st Brigade.

I venture to recommend most earnestly all the Troops engaged in the " Gwalior " operations, the Central India Field Force , as well as Brigadier Smith's Brigade of the Rajpoutana Field Force, to His Lord ship's most favorable Consideration . It is not for me to describe the importance of the service which they performed. I'am convinced that it is fully and gener ourly appreciated by the exalted authorities , whose higli attributions and experienco constitute them the judges of what would have been the state of India, if Gwalior had remained for any length of time or worse still, permanently, in the hands of the Rebels .

But as the Commander of the Troops engaged, it is ny duty to say, that although a most arduous cam- paign had impaired the health and strength of overy nan of my Force , their discipline , devotion, and ourage remained unvarying and unshaken, enabling hem to make a very rapid march in summer heat to

My Brigade being then reduced to the Wing of Her Majesty's 71st Highland Light Infantry, the Right Wing of Her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons , Madras Sap- pers and Miners, and 100 Horse of the Hydrabad Con- tingent, continued to advance on the enemy , who were retreating in large numbers , towards their right rear. At one moment there appeared a favorable op- portunity to charge them with Cavalry, but the deliberation with which they moved led me to suspect that they were assured that they were protected by the ground in front of them, and 1 sent iny Brigado Major, Lieutenant Maclachlin , and some Towana Sowars to examine it.

On reaching the entrenchment I found that Major Vialls, who commanded the reserve, was attacking the Gwalior Contingent Cavalry above alluded to, with two Companies of the 95th , keeping them in check and preventing them from advancing down the road, where they had brought a couple of 9 -pounder guns to bear on us. In the mean time another gun ofheavy metal judging from the distance of its range (1,200 yards ) , was brought into position on a high hill to our extreme left front, when immediately afterwards two guns of the Bombay Artillery were placed to silence the fire which considerably annoyed us .

Soon after this I received your orders to proceed up the road with the 10th in reserve , and on our advanc- ing, the Gwalior Contingent Cavalry as well as the guns retired . After advancing along the road for about a mile, (with a deep nullah and a high embank- ment on our left , and the two Companies in skirmishing order in front and covering the ridges to our right) and until the skirmishers had entered on the plain of the Phool Bagh , large bodies of the enemy's Cavalry were observed as if preparing for a charge, and in such force , as to imperil the safety of the skirmishers . How- ever ( after being halted for an hour) 1 ordered the support up a hill , on cresting which I observed the Gwalior Cavalry in their red uniforms slowly advancing in skirmishing order up a broad ravine to our right, and about 200 yards in front of us . I immediately caused file- firing in line to be opened on them , and on discovering our position they instantly retired with the utmost precipitation , when you , Sir, directed the splendid charge of the 8th Hussars in pursuit . I immediately proceeded to support and follow them to within a quarter of a mile of the Cantonments, when by your orders I halted. A portion of the 10th Native Infantry during the advance supported the 95th , and a Company from each Corps was left to guard the narrow passes as we advanced .

During the halt and whilst the Cavalry were engaged in sweeping through the Cantonments , the enemy brought two guns into position on our left , one on our right, and two from the Fort opened fired on the 95th and a division of the Horse Artillery, immediately and close to us .

panies of the 95thRegiment in skirmishing order to attack the Rebel entrenchments with supports , and the 10th Regiment Native Infantry in eschellon as a reserve . On nearing their breast-work they opened a brisk fire of mus- ketry on both Corps along the line accompanied with round shot and shell as fast as they could load their guns . Secing our approach many of them commenced to retire from their left , when the skirmishers from the 95th opened fire on them.

Having remained here for about half an hour you directed us to retire and take up a position on the heights in front of Gwalior for the night . We reached them about 7 P. M.

I have the greatest pleasure in bearing witness to the extreme endurance (specially of the 95th ) and gallant conduct of both Corps . They had been out the whole day without a meal under a burning sun, and had marched at 2. A. M. that morning from the pre- vious encampment ground, a distance of 10 miles , and although the list of casualties in my Regiment actually occurring from the enemy's fire (and which with that of the 10th is copied in the margin) presents a small proportion of 1 man killed and 1 Officer and 4 men wounded. I regret to say that 84 cases of coup-de - soleil occurred , 1 of which proved fatal on that day, exclusive of 5 Officers dangerously, but not fatally attacked.

When within 50 yards of their works I ordered the skirmishers to advance at the double and charge , and on reaching their works I discovered their Infantry retiring up the ravines towards the left and right, and taking away the guns to our left . Here we were stopped by a deep ditch with 4 feet of water and the banks were so steep , that it was with difficulty that the men got over in single file, and by the time that the skirmishers had ascended the opposite bank, the entrenchiment was completely abandoned, but we still found a small body, evidently their rear , extended, firing and retiring through the ravines and up the hills in disorder. The skirmishers with the greatest cager- ness pushed on, and succcedod in shooting several of them.

In conclusion , I beg respectfully to bring to your notice the valuable assistance I received from Major Vialls , Major Massey and Lieutenant and Adjutant Sexton , who acted as my Staff Officer during the day ; also from Lieutenant C'realock who so ably headed his Company, and assisted in the reconnoissance previous to the attack , and from Captain Pelley , Commanding the 10th , who with his mon greatly contributed and assisted towards our success in the action .

On gaining the heights in rear of the encampment, during which time a Company of the 95th had swept round the base of the hill to the left , I observed that the enemy had guns , about 600 or 1,000 yards in front, on another hill about the same height , with Infantry and a large proportion of Cavalry . I sounded the halt and assembly, on which a fire of shrapnel was opened on the men . I then noticed on my immediate right, about 500 yards off, and which I afterwards as- eertained was the road to Gwalior, about 100 of the Gwalior Contingent Cavalry, protected from our fire by a high embankment , and as I anticipated that they would endeavor to turn my right flank by a charge and thus cut me off from my reserve , I ordered the retire on the entrenchments , opening at the saine time [ 13 ]

opened upon us , as we came within range , and obliged us to make a detour to reach the Residency .

We arrived late in the evening at Sumowlee, having marched about 25 miles .

Never was the rout of an army more complete . It is difficult to estimate the number of the enemy killed, but I believe between 3 and 100. The villagers say 500, but the escape of many was facilitated by the vil- lages into which our Cavalry could not follow them , is with great pleasure that I bring to your notice , the excellent conduct of the Troops of all arins under my command. Nothing could excel their cheerful en- durance of the fatigue, and the intense heat of the march.

The enemy were reported to have 12,000 mon and 22 guns , and to have marched from Sumowlee to Jow- ra -Alipore , in the forenoon.

Their good discipline has only been equalled by the courage with which they charged such a superior force.

We were too tired to go beyond Sumowlee, the heat of the sun having been terrific ; so we rested until 4 o'clock A. M. on the 22nd, then advanced on Jowra- Alipore, where we found the enemy strongly posted with their right resting onAlipore, guns and Infantry in the centre , and Cavalry on both flanks.

they were invariably metwith the promptest gallantry. Many occasions arose when it was necessary for de- tached parties to act against the enemy's Infantry , and Captain Troop of the 14th arrived after the close of the action, and a party dis- mounted , and turned twenty of the enemy out of a gar- denkilling every man .

A rising ground hid our approach, and enabled me to reconnoitre their position, in security, from a dis- tance of 12,000 yards . They opened several guns on the reconnoitring party , disclosing the position of their Artillery, which Ihad not previously been able to discover .

The ground was open to the enemy's left , and a care- ful examination with the telescope left me assured, that there was nothing to check the advance of my Artillery.

Private Novell, of H. M.'s 14th Light Dragoons , charged alone into the village, and killed one of the enemy under a very heavy fire , for which act of gallan- try I beg to recommend him for the " Victoria Cross ." Dr. Mackenzie , of the 3rd Hydrabad Cavalry , being interrupted in his attendance on the wounded, by the fire of a party of the enemy from behind a wall and ditch, cailed on Subadar Soojub Khan , 3rd Bombay Light Cavalry, to dislodge them . Their position was a difficult one, but the Subadar, with one half his party, with slung carbines and the other with drawn swords , gallantly led the charge and succeeded in dislodging Idirected Captain Lightfoot to take up a position , about 600 yards from the enemy's left flank , and enfi- lade their line ; andto act afterwards as circumstances might dictate, ght coltann of march was the most convenient for

When the Troops came intaview the enemy after turning the shoulder of the rising ground, the whole were advanced at a gallop, and as soon as the Artillery had reached the flank of the enemy's position , the line was formed to the left, and the guns opened on the enemy at a distance of 600 yards.

The way in which the Troops were led into action excited my admiration ; more especially the superb manner in which Captain Lightfoot took up his posi- tion on the flank of the enemy, and the dash with which he followed them when broken.

After a few rounds the enemy's guns were silenced and a rapid thinning and wavering of their ranks took place. Captain Lightfoot limbered up , and advanced at a gallop ; and Captain Abbott with his Hydrabad Ca- valry the moment . ary charged at hantaneously followed by the

Detachments of the Cavalry charged a body of the fu- gitives on the right , and cut up many of them .

Lieutenant Burlton , of Meade's Horse, had the honor of leading the Detachment of the Corps for the first time into action, and acquitted himself creditably .

To Surgeon Stewart , of H. M.'s 14th Light Dragoons , and the Medical Officers of the Force , I am much in- debted for the attention to the sick and wounded.

Wherever there was abody of the enerıy collected in front , Lightfoot's guns opened and dispersed them.

I also opened a letter from Captain Abbott, Com- manding 3rd Hydrabad Cavalry , bringing to notice several men of his Regiment for distinguished conduct, and I beg most strongly to second his recommenda- tion that they may receive the Order of " British India. "

Ihave, &c. ,

A. D. O. I beg to be pardoned if I have dwelt at too great length on the services performed by the men and Offi- cers of the Force . The disposition of the enemy seemed very great, certainly not less than four thou- sand men were drawn up in line with a formidable Artillery to oppose us ; and though the action was brief, many things occurred during a very short time , and the circumstances were such as to call for the ex. ertions of every individual of the Force.

No. 14 OF 1859 .

FortWilliam, the 21st February 1859 .

HIS Excellency the Governor General of India in Council is pleased to notify for general informa- tion the Financial measures which have been resolved upon , in order to provide means for carrying on the Public Service in the coming Year 1859-60.

On the 16th of January 1857 , a Five - per- Cent Loan was opened , in supersession of the Four - and- a-half-per- Cent Loan opened on the 30th of August 1856, which had been found, in the then state of the Money Market , not to afford sufficient inducement to Capitalists . On the 30th of April 1857 , the Financial position of the Government of India was excellent . The Annual deficit which had been experienced for several years , and which in 1853-54 had amounted to Rupees 211 Lacs, chiefly in consequence of the great extension in late years of Public Works, was reduced for the Year 1856-57 to the small sum of Rupees 18 Lacs , and this Financial restoration had been accomplished without the stoppage of those great works of material improvement of which India is so much in need . But as the Government had raised but a small amount in the way of Loan , after the closing of the Five - per - Cent Public Works' Loan in October 1855 , the Cash Balances in India had fallen so low that the opening of an effectively drawing Loan had become indispensable.

In May 1857 the Revolt of the Bengal Native Army broke out , and it became necessary by adequate measures both in India and at Home, to provide the means of making those extraordinary exertions by which, under the blessing of Providence , the Indian Empire has been saved, and tranquillity has been restored .

The Government at Home undertook all the charges which had to be met at IIome, both the ordinary Home charges of each year, and the extraordinary Home charges which the despatch to India of a large English Force, and the provision of an immense supply of the Munitions of War, (a vast quantity of which had been lost or destroyed, )destroyed ,) rendered necessary and it assisted the Indian Exchequer, at the moment of greatest pressure , by the remittance of a Million Sterling in Bullion . These objects were met by the issue at Home of temporary debentures to the amount of Eight Millions Sterling. The Government of India had the task of providing for the main part of the extraordinary War charges, which of course had to be disbursed in India ; and for the Barrack Accommodation of many thousand additional Europeans ; as also for the restoration of the Treasure which had been plundered; and this it had to do, when nearly all the Revenues of one of the Local Governments had been swept away.

The Five - por- Cent Loan, which would have been adequate for ordinary wants and in ordi- nary times, was found to be inadequate at this time of extreme pressure . Accordingly it was necessary to induce Capitalists to come to the assistance of the State , by an enhancement of the terms; and the Governor General in Council resolved to borrow at Six -per- Cent .

He was aware that this could not be done without in some degree affecting injuriously those Holders of the Paper of former Loans, who had not purchased for purposes of permanent investment : but this is the condition of all such Holders of Government Stock in all Countries , whenever a great exigency forces upon the State the necessity of raising a large sum in a limited time . The Governor General in Council, however, was desirous to save such Holders from loss, as far as that could be done consistently with the paramount object in view . Therefore , instead of simply opening a Six -per- Cent Loan, which would have brought down the price of Four and Five per Cent Paper to a low point, he threw open the existing Five -per - Cent Loan to subscriptions half in Cash, and half in Four -per - Cent Paper. This arrangement for many months answered the purpose, the market price of the Paper of former Loans was but little affected by the operation ; and the expectations of Government were fully met by large and regular subscriptions through the medium of the then existing Holders of Four-per- Cent Stock , or those who purchased of them for the express purpose of subscribing to the Loan. From the opening of this conversion Loan to the present time upwards of Eight Crores have been paid in in Cash .

Latterly, however, whether from the partial exhaustion of such Holders of Four -per- Cent Paper as are able and willing to convert it, or to sell it at such a price as will induce the Capitalist to buy it for the purpose of conversion, or from some other cause, this conversion process has failed to afford the income which in the present temporary exigency is necessary for the Public Service. For many weeks past the subscriptions to the conversion Loan have fallen to less than half what they were ; and they have shewn no prospect of improvement ..

In this state of things, the Government of India, having the Public Service to provide for, had no choice but to adopt some change of measure by which it could hope to obtain the requisite funds before the Cash Balances shouldbecome exhausted. The Governor General in Council did not doubt that the rate of Six - per - Cent , which Government were paying , was ample Interest to induce the Capitalist to subscribe . But it was apparent that from some cause or other, the requisite funds, even at that rate, could no longer be procured exclusively through the medium of Holders of Four -per -Cent Stock. There was therefore nothing to be done but to look for subscriptions either through the medium of some other class , or from Capitalists generally.

it may be to take advantage of that arrangement will still have full opportunity of so doing . Up to the end of the Current Commercial Year, Holders of Four- per - Cent Paper will still have it in their power, on subscribing to the open Loan, to obtain Six - per - Cent for the Cash subscribed .

In order to throw open the door, in some manner, to the general Capitalist, Treasury Bills, bearing a somewhat lower rate of Interest , were issued ; and the Governor General in Council , looking to the very large extraordinary expenditure which must still remain to be incurred in the coming year , made application to the Right Hon'ble the Secretary of State for India for assistance in the way of Bullion Remittances from Home , to the extent of Three Millions Sterling .

It had been the wish of the Governor General in Council to await the answer of the Secretary of State which may be expected by the 1st of May ; as also to allow time to show practically what may be expected as the result of the above -mentioned measures , before determining upon the course to be adopted on the 1st of May for the service of the coming year. But the late fluctuations in the Stock Market, though the manifest result of an unfounded and happily short - lived panic, and the representations of the Mercantile Community, who are of opinion that in the present state of the Market uncertainty as to the future Financial operations of Government would be a great evil, have induced His Excellency in Council to anticipate the determination of this question, and to announce at once the arrangement which it is his intention to make in India for the service of the Year 1859-60 .

Reductions in the present enormous War Charges will be made as early and to as great an extent as may be safe . Measures will be taken for the permanent increase of the Indian Revenues as largely as may be consistent with sound policy . But the full benefit of these operations will not be felt in 1859-60 .

The Governor General in Council hereby announces that the amount of money for which he will look to the Indian Market to be raised by Loan in order to provide for the service of 1859-60 , is Five Crores of Rupees . When this amount shall have been realized, the Loan of 1859-60 will be closed, and no further Loan will be opened in India during that year .

Inpursuance of the principle adopted on the 20th of July 1857 , the Loan to be opened on the 1st May next will be a Five -and - a- Ilalf- per-Cent Loan, to which subscriptions will be receivable in Cash or half in Cash and half in Five - per - Cent Paper .

If this Loan should not produce the required amount, the Governor General in Council will re- commend to the Right Hon'ble the Secretary of State that the deficiency should be supplied from England. No Loan carrying a higher rate of Interest will be opened in India in the course of the year 1859-60, unless under instructions from the Home Government.

The issue of Treasury Bills, on the terms notified on the 26th of January 1859 , will be closed on the 30th of April ; a new issue of Treasury Bills will be notified from the 1st of May, bearing Interest at the rate of 21 Pie per Centum per diem .

The sum which may be received upon these Notes will not be counted as a part of the Five Crores which the Government desire to raise by Loan. Publishedby Order of His Excellency the Right Hon'ble the Governor General of India in Council ,

He will proceed to join as soon as reliev- ed from his present charge .

H. YULE, Captain, Offg. Secy. to the Govt . of India .

The Light, which is catoptric and revolving, consists of three faces , and exhibits alternately every minute a White, Red , and Green Light, on an are visible from Seaward from N. 74. E. to N. 66. W. round by South ( by compass. ) [ 447 ]

No. 354 .

The White Light may be seen from the deck of a moderate - sized Vessel about 18 miles , and from aloft at a distance proportionate to the elevation attained.

Appointments . Mr. Swinton Henry Boult is vested with the powers of Joint Magistrate and Deputy Collector, subject to his passing the pre- scribed test at the May Examination , and is posted to Etawah for the present .

The Green Light will not generally be dis- tinguished beyond a range of 8 miles .

Mr. George Boles Pasley to officiate as Joint Magistrate and Deputy Collector of Agra, until further orders .

During hot weather and N. E. Winds , when there is often much refraction, the White Light will frequently be observed at a great distance .

By Order of the Hon'ble the Lieutenant- Governor, North- Western Provinces,

Vessels approaching from the Eastward should not bring the White or Red Light to bear to the Westward of W. N. W. , and when the . Green Light becomes visible on that bearing should steer more Southerly, in order to give the reef, which stretches to the Eastward of Cape Northumber- land, a wide berth .

E. C. BAYLEY, Offg. Secy. to Govt., N. W. P. No. 102 .

Allahabad, the 19th February 1859 .

Notification. The services of Sub -Assistant Sur- geon Ashootosh Goopto are placed at the disposal of the Government of the Punjab.

Vessels from the Northward should never sight the White or Red Light on a bearing more South- erly than E. S. ,S. , and on distinguishing the Green Light should immediately alter the course so as to give the outlying reefs ,to the Westward of the Cape running parallel to the coast a mile from the shore , an offing .

By Order of the Hon'ble the Lieutenant- Gover- nor, North -Western Provinces , F. B. OUTRAM, Asst. Secy. to Govt. , N. W. P.

Opium Notification .

In bad weather with the wind hanging from the Southward, it will be advisable to give the Cape such an offing as will enable a Ship to pass the Lighthouse without sighting the Green Light, and should the weather, which is occasion- ally the case, be thick, or it be blowing hard , it will be prudent not to sight the Red Light, which, under such circumstances , would not be seen at the distance first given .

The Coast to the North - Westward of the Cape soon becomes low, and owing to the heavy ocean swell which sets directly on the shore, shouldbe very carefully avoided .

To the Eastward of the Cape is a deep bight , which offers no shelter from the prevailing winds and swell, or inducement to enter .

NOTICE is hereby given, that the third Sale of Opium, the provision of 1857-58, will be held at the Exchange Hall , on Thursday , the 10th of March 1859 , at 11 a. M. , and will comprize 2,260 chests , viz :-

No. 14 OF 1850 .

Fort William, the 21st February 1859 .

Notifications . His Excellency the Governor General of India in Council is pleased to notify for general information the Financial measures which have been resolved upon, in order to provide means for carrying on the Public Service in the coming Year 1859-60 .

On the 16th of January 1857 , a Five-per -Cent Loan was opened, in supersession of the Four- and- a-half-per- Cent Loan opened on the 30th of August 1856 , which had been found, in the then state of the Money Market , not to afford sufficient inducement to Capitalists . On the 30th of April 1857 , the Financial position of the Government of India was excellent .. The Annual deficit which had been experienced for several years , and which in 1853-54 had amounted to Rupees 211 Lacs, chiefly in consequence of the great extension in late years of Public Works , was reduced for the Year 1856-571856 to the small sum of Rupees 18 Lacs , and this Financial restoration had been accomplished without the stoppage of those great works of material improvement of which India is so much in need. But as the Government had raised but a small amount in the way of Loan, after the closing of the Five- per-Cent Public Works' Loan in October 1855 , the Cash Balances in India had fallen so low that the opening of an effectively drawing Loan had become indispensable.

In May 1857 the Revolt of the Bengal Native Army broke out, and it became necessary by adequate measures both in India and at Home, to provide the means of making those extraordinary exertions by which, under the blessing of Providence, the Indian Empire has been saved,ed, and tranquillity,has been restored .

The Government at Home undertook all the charges which had to be met at Home, both the ordinary Home charges of each year, and the extraordinary Home charges which the despatch to India of a large English Force, and the provision of an immense supply of the Munitions of War, (a vast quantity of which had been lost or destroyed,) rendered necessary and it assisted the Indian Exchequer, at the moment of greatest pressure, by the remittance of a Million Sterling in Bullion . These objects were met by the issue at Home of temporary debentures to the amount of Eight Millions Sterling . The Government of India had the task of providing for the main part of the extraordinary War charges , which of course had to be disbursed in India ; and for the Barrack Accommodation of many thousand additional Europeans ; as also for the restoration of the Treasure which had been plundered; and this it had to do,when nearly all the Revenues of one of the Local Governments had been swept away.

The Five -per-Cent Loan, which would have been adequate for ordinary wants and in ordi- nary times, was found to be inadequate at this time of extreme pressure. Accordingly it was necessary to induce Capitalists to come to the assistance of the State, by an enhancement of the terms ; and the Governor General in Council resolved to borrow at Six -per- Cent .

He was aware that this could not be done without in some degree affecting injuriously those Holders of the Paper of former Loans, who had not purchased for purposes of permanent investment: but this is the condition of all such Holders of Government Stock in all Countries , whenever a great exigency forces upon the State the necessity of raising a large sum in a limited time . The Governor General in Council, however, was desirous to save such Holders from loss, as far as that could be done consistently with the paramount object in view . Therefore, instead of simply opening a Six- per - Cent Loan, which would have brought down the price of Four and Five per Cent Paper to a low point, he threw open the existing Five -per - Cent Loan to subscriptions half in Cash , and half in Four - per- Cent Paper. This arrangement for many months answered the purpose , the market price of the Paper of former Loans was but little affected by the operation ; and the expectations of Government were fully met by large and regular subscriptions through the medium of the then existing. Holders of Four-per- Cent Stock, or those who purchased of them for the express purpose of subscribing to the Loan. From the opening of this conversion Loan to the present time upwards of Eight Crores have been paid in in Cash .

Latterly, however, whether from the partial exhaustion of such Holders of Four -per- Cent Paper as are able and willing to convert it , or to sell it at such a price as will induce the Capitalistto buy it for the purpose of conversion, or from some other cause, this conversion process has failed to afford the income which in the present temporary exigency is necessary for the Public Service . For many weeks past the subscriptions to the conversion Loan have fallen to less than half what they were ; and they have shewn no prospect of improvement .

[ 463 ]

In this state of things, the Government of India, having the Public Service to provide for, had no choice but to adopt some change of measure by which it could hope to obtain the requisite funds before the Cash Balances should become exhausted . The Governor General in Council did not doubt that the rate of Six -per - Cent , which Government were paying, was ample Interest to induce the Capitalist to subscribe . But it was apparent that from some cause or other, the requisite funds , even at that rate, could no longer be procured exclusively through the medium of Holders of Four - per -Cent Stock. There was therefore nothing to be done but to look for subscriptions either through the medium of some other class , or from Capitalists generally.

In this state of things the Governor General in Council resolved, on the 26th of January last, to adopt a new arrangement in respect to the open Loan, from the commencement of the approaching Financial year . Accordingly he gave notice of the closing on the 30th of April next of the Four-per- Cent conversion arrangement . By this warning all remaining Holders of that Stock for whose benefit it may be to take advantage of that arrangement will still have full opportunity of so doing . Up to the end of the Current Commercial Year, Holders of Four - per- Cent Paper will still have it in their power, on subscribing to the open Loan, to obtain Six-per- Cent for the Cash subscribed .

In order to throw open the door, in some manner, to the general Capitalist, Treasury Bills, bearing a somewhat lower rate of Interest, were issued; and the Governor General'in Council, looking to the very large extraordinary expenditure which must still remain to be incurred in the coming year , made application to the Right Hon'ble the Secretary of State for India for assistance in the way of Bullion Remittances from Home, to the extent of Three Millions Sterling .

It had been the wish of the Governor General in Council to await the answer of the Secretary of State which may be expected by the 1st of May ; as also to allow time to show practically what may be expected as the result of the above- mentioned measures , before determining upon the course to be adopted on the 1st of May for the service of the coming year . But the late fluctuations in the Stock Market , though the manifest result of an unfounded and happily short - lived panic, and the representations of the Mercantile Community , who are of opinion that in the present state of the Market uncertainty as to the future Financial operations of Government wouldbe a great evil, have induced His Excellency in Council to anticipate the determination of this question, and to announce at once the arrangement which it is his intention to make in India for the service of the Year 1859-60 .

Reductions in the present enormous War Charges will be made as early and to as great an extent as may be safe . Measures will be taken for the permanent increase of the Indian Revenues as largely as may be consistent with sound policy . But the full benefit of these operations will not be felt in 1859-60 .

The Governor General in Council hereby announces that the amount of money for which he will look to the Indian Market to be raised by Loan in order to provide for the service of 1859-60, is Five Crores of Rupees . When this amount shall have been realized, the Loan of 1859-60 will be closed, and no further Loan will be opened in India during that year .

Inpursuance of the principle adopted on the 20th of July 1857 , the Loan to be opened on the 1st May next willbe a Five- and - a-Half- per- Cent Loan, to which subscriptions will be receivable in Cash or half in Cash and half in Five-per - Cent Paper .

If this Loan should not produce the required amount, the Governor General in Council will re- commend to the Right Hon'bleHon' the Secretary of State that the deficiency should be supplied from England. No Loan carrying a higher rate of Interest will be opened in India in the course of the year 1859-60 , unless under instructions from the Home Government.

The issue of Treasury Bills , on the terms notified on the 26th of January 1859, will be closed on the 30th of April ; a new issue of Treasury Bills will be notified from the 1st of May, bearing Interest at the rate of 2 Pieper Centum per diem .

The sum which may be received upon these Notes will not be counted as a part of the Five Crores which the Government desire to raise by Loan.

suffered as much as Europeans from sun, the con stitutions of the men having been weakened by scurvy . Captain Wood, Assistant Adjutant General, fell struck, it was feared mortally, by sun-stroke ; he re- covered partially, and with the unyielding resolution which characterized the conduct of the Force, resumed his duties under fire . Having provided for the pro- tection of Mutha , I returned with the detachments of the 1st Brigade to Golowlec.

The enemy, the same day, in order either to pre- vent me from giving support to the 2nd Brigade, or hoping to beat the 1st Brigade weakened by the rein- forcements which I took from it , reinforced strongly their lines of out-posts in the ravines, and supporting them with guns , and masses , at a distance, menaced and kept up a heavy fire on my position; at Golowlee , from the Jumna to the village of Tehree, against which latter place they advanced with a thick chain of skirmishers .

Brigadier Stuart, Commanding the 1st Brigade, at Golowlee, and Captain Hare, Commanding at Tehree, met the attack with vigor ; the former answered the enemy's cannonade so effectually with his mortars and guns, that they retired. Captain Hare repulsed the enemy's advance, and following them up took a tope of trees in advance of his position, in which they had concentrated a force . I beg to make special mention of both these Officers for their conduct on this occasion.

The enemy having shown signs of fortifying a high ridge opposite my right front , about half way betweenGolowlee and Culpee, I had a Battery of two 8- inch Mortars constructed in front of my right , which shelled with good effect the ridge and the ravines near it .

The next day, the 17th instant , after noon , the enemy again attacked the 2nd Brigade at Diapoora, and was repulsed, with loss as it appears No.2Enclosure. LieutCol.Campbell's Report. by an extract of a Report from Lieutenant Colonel Campbell enclosed.

The urgency of the case alone made me undertake this operation, as I foresaw that the suffocating heat of the sun must strike down a large portion of my Force . 1 galloped on, and found that Major Forbes had reached Diapoora ; but that the enemy, baffled in their attempt to cut off the rear guard, had taken ground to the left , and reinforced by three or four Battalions from Culpee, who were now swarming out of the ravines , was preparing, firing heavily to storm the village of Mutha, which Lieutenant Colonel Campbell hadjudi- ciously, occupied from Diapoora, for which I beg to make special mention of him . For if the enemy were in possession of Mutha , the Camp at Diapoora would no longer have been tenable . A large body of Cavalry , deployed across the road from Etowato Muttra, were approaching in support of the Infantry. The Officer Commanding in Mutha, felt himself so hard -pressed that he had given orders for evacuating it . The enemy were pressing forwards . I immediately gave orders to the Troops who were retiring, to re-occupy the village, and hold it at any price, ordering up in their support , at a trot , the Troop Horse Artillery, and the of No. 4 Light Field Battery, a Troop of the 14th and the 3rd Hyderabad Cavalry , with two Com- panies of Hyderabad Infantry, and the 25th Bombay Native Infantry .

Colonel Maxwell, leaving his column of the strength , as detailed in the margin, to march to a position opposite Culpee , came on to me at Golowlee, when I communicated to him my plan of attack , and gave him the requisito directions . Part of his Column had been detached from him, but was expected back . Ihave already had the honor to state the outline of

my plan of attack. Its details were as follows: Colonel Maxwell was to construct , on the opposite bank of the Jumna, Mortar Batteries ; onc to shell, vigorously , the " Fort of Culpee" and blow up , if pos- sible , the powder magazines in it, destroying also the defences of the Fort facing my position at Golow- lee ; another to shell the part of the Town fronting the same way , so as to prevent the enemy from holding these localities in force , when I attacked them ; another Mortar Battery to be placed lower down the Jumna and opposite the village of Rehree . Rehree stands on the edge of the small sandy plain bordered by the Jumna, which is situated between the bell of ravines and Culpee . The enemy had a force , and a Battery in Rehree for the purpose of sweeping off my right column of attack, when it debouched from the ravines against Culpee , and preventing its occupying the " Sandy Plain" which was an important point for me, because, once in poввев- sion of it, my right flank rosting on the Jumna, I could bring up all my Artillery through the pass through the ravines , and concentrate from the " Sandy Plain" a vertical and horizontal fire , on the part of Culpec which I wished to attack . I wished Reh- rec, the ravines and ground about it, to be destroyed, and made untenable by fire from the opposite bank. These Batteries were to shell their " objectifs " for 10 or 20 hours before , and during the advance against Captain Lightfoot placed the Artillery skilfully, on the left of Mutha, the accurate fire of their shrapnel and round shot broke the Rebel Cavalry , and drove them from their, position in support of the Infantry , who still held the deep and twisting ravines in front of Mutha . I directed Captain Douglas , Bengal Artillery , CommandingArtillery Hyderabad Contingent ,to post four 6 -pounders on the right of Mutha, and burst shrapnel just over the heads of the Rebels in the ra- vines; this he did with his usual skill and devotion , under a heavy fire of the enemy's Rifleinen so effectu- ally, that the Rebels who were suffering from the admirable fire of Her Majesty's 71st , who still had some of the better sort of ammunition , retired from their ambuscades, the main body down the ravines , a few across country to Culpee , the 71st making killing practice at the latter , at 700 or 800 yards . I did not pursue, because fresh exertion in the sun, and in most difficult ground, would have been fatal to mon the greater part of whom had been marching all night , and engaged all day in fearful heat. My gaine was a waiting one, and I abstained carefully from playing that of my adversary, which was to disorganize and prostrate my Force by con- tinued exposure to sura I never yielded an inch to the enemy's attacks ; but , on the other hand , hus- banded the strength and health of my men for one great combat for Culpee . As it was, the intense heat made havoc amongst my Troops , Officers as well as men .

goneral attack of the enemy's positions and of Culpec. I did not therefore play the gaine of my adversary by allowing myself to be drawn into a general action under disadvantageous circumstances , butdirected the pickets increly to mantain their ground, which they did steadily and gallantly, under the able command of Major Stewart , Her Majesty's 86th Regiment , until the enemy were beat back.

In either case, I required reinforcements . The fight for Culpee was sure to be an obstinate, perhaps a des- perate struggle. I should have compromised the whole spirit of my most important instructions , and the success of the British cause in India, if I had attempted that struggle with a Force, whose health was such as I have describod it , and had neglected to reinforce it with a portion of the gallant Troops, who , fresh and unimpaired in vigour , were only separa- ted from me by the Jumia.

The casualties in this day's partial affair were four Officers , and forty Rank and File. Lieutenant Jerome, 86th , severely wounded , and Lieutenat Forbes , 25th Bombay Native Infantry , struck down by sun, led their Companies with the same high Military spirit for which they have been specially mentioned on former occasions .

A check before Culpce in the advanced state of the hot season , and the rains close at hand, would have resuscitated rebellion throughout India, compro- mised the safety of C'awnpore , exposed to a flank, or rear attack the extensive line of operations of His Excellency the Commander - in-Chief in India, and lit the torch of rebellion in the Deccan , and the Southern Mahrattas , full of ill- disposed Arabe and Rohillas , and partizans of Nana Sahib , as Peishwa.

On the 21st instant , I received information that the Rebel Army intended to make a general attack on my position, at Golowlee at 8 A. M. , the next day ; that they had sworn a religious oath on the waters of the Junina, a sacred River, that they would drive my Force into the Jumna and destroy it, or die , and that afterwards, they would move Southwards against General Whitlock; that large quantities of opium had been issued to the Troops for the purposе

of making them fight desperately. The positions occupied by my force were as fol- lows :-

Under the influence of these important considera- tions , 1 directed Lieutenant the Jumna , to my Camp the re - inforcements detailed in the enclosed Report from that Officer; they arrived at my Head Quarters at Golowlee on the night of the 20th instant.

The right flank, facing the left of Culpoe, rested on the ravines running downto the Jumna ; in these ravines stood the village of Soorowlee, and Golow- lee. Both these villages were connected and held by strong pickets and prevented my right being turned.

camped perpendicularly to the Jumna, facing the Half of the 1st Brigade, my right flank, was en- belt of ravines, and the left front of Culpee , on the table land, immediately outside the belt. The remainder of the 1st Brigade facing the con-

tinuation of the belt of ravines , which took a sweep outward, and the 2nd Brigade and Hyderabad Field Force, facing the table land or plain stretching , from Golowlee across the road from Culpee to Jullalpoor, were thrown back " en potence. " This ground was adapted to the movements of Artillery and Cavalry. Mywhole front was well guarded by strong out-posts The Agent of the Governor - General for Central India, who, in his official capa- city, accompanied my Force, was of opinion that the peculiar circumstances justitied my bringing the reinforcements across the Jumna I was relieved, therefore , from any political objection to the step . The result proved its necessity . A day or two after the arrival of the reinforcements in my Camp, the Camel Corps , the principal reinforce- ment, saved, by their timely aid, my right, the key of my position, from a disaster, in a desperate and general attack on it , on the 23rd of May ; and that success was followed by a conquering advance of my whole line from the Jumna to my extreme left ; the total rout of the enemy, and the capture, next

day, of Culpee, with all its Artillery and rich Arsenal. On the morning of the 20th , I made a reconnoissance on the left bank of the Jumua, and selected a posi- tion for a Battery of 8 - inch Mortars, at the village of Russulpoor, to batter the village of Rehree , &c. , as already stated.

with advanced sentries in the ravines and pickets. On the morning of the 22nd I made the following disposition of my Troops to resist the expected attack. The piekets on the right front of Her Majesty's 86th Regiment and 3rd Europeans wore reinforced by the remainder of the 86th in skirmishing order ; their right resting on the Junna In support were three guns of No. 4 Light Fiold Battery , one Troop Her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons , a Troop of the 3rd Bombay Light Cavy . and four Companies of the 25th Bombay Native Infantry, the whole under the command ofBrigadier Stuart .

On the 22nd instant this Battery was ready, as well as one of four 10- inch Mortars opposite the Fort , and another of two 8- inch Mortars , opposite the Town and Cutcherry, in which latter place Rao Sahib, the Nawal of Banda , and the Ranee of Jhansi were re- ported to be stationed with a large body of Infantry and Guns . A Division of 9 -pounder guns , and a Company of Her Majesty's 88th were stationed at Russulpoor against Rehree , and the " Sandy Plain " on the opposite bank

The pickets of the right centre were supported by the other half of No. 4 Light Field Battery, the re- mainder of the 25th Bombay Native Infantry , with the 21st Company Royal Engineers, the whole under Lieutenant Colonel Robertson .

The enemy were now exposed to my attack of their left flank from Golowlee and to a cross vertical and horizontal fire , into the same flank and their rear from the other side of the Jumna.

My left centre, facing the plain and the village of Tehree, was guarded by No. 1 Bombay Troop Horse Artillery , supported by two Troops Her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons .

I had hardly returned to Camp, on the 20th , before the onomy again advanced, covered by a very thick chain of skirunishers , through the ravines , and attacked with much determination my right flank . The pickets were immediately reinforced by four Companies of the 88th, two Companies of the 25th Bombay Native Infantry, and three 9 -pounders ,

The Siege Guns , two 18 -pounders , one 24-poun- ders and two 8 - inch Howitzers , each of their flanks guarded by detachments of the 3rd Europeans , formed the centre , supported by the Wing of Her Majesty's 71st , one squadron of the 11th, a Troop of the 3rd Light Cavalry and Captain Field's Royal Artillery, 9-pounders .

The reinforcements had not joined me ; and the Mortar Batteries on the other side of the Junna wore not ready to cover my advance ; the heat was at its maximum; and I had fixed the 23rd instant for the

twos and threes across country, throwing away their arms and accoutrements , and even their clothes , to enable them to run faster. This low and altered state of morale of the Rebels must be attributed to the loss of their last hope, Culpee, after their great effort to overthrow its assailants ;to their continued defeats ,without one success ; and lastly, to the dejection which ensued in the excitement caused by the large quantities of opium which they had swallowed for the purpose of quickening their resolution , in the action of the day before .

The conduct of the Central India Field Force in the general action of the Jumna, was characterized by th- ardent and unyielding courage, the devotion and exeme plary discipline , which they had shown throughout the Campaign. And all of us witnessed, with admiration , the skill and noble courage with which the Troops of the Bengal Army, under Lieutenant - Colonel Maxwell , fought by our side , and contributed so largely to the success of the operations . I beg most respectfully to recommend these gallant Soldiers , those of the Ben- gal, as well as those of the Bombay Arny, one and all , to the most favorable consideration of His Excellency the Commander - in - Chief. They had to contend, under a deadly sun, and in most difficult ground, with a des- perate foe, greatly their superior in numbers . They fought till they dropped or conquered . The Fort and Town of Culpeo , exhibited proofs of the high service of Captains Blunt and Turnbull , of the Bengal Artillery and Engineers , and of their Officers and men stationed in the Batteries on the other side of the Jumna . The shells had fallen almost as I could have wished, and caused a destruction, which no doubt influenced a good deal , the Rebels in their determination to aban- don the Fort and Town.

I have the honor to enclose Returns of the Casual- ties of the Forces engaged in the operations before Culpee , and of the enemy's. Ordnance captured in the Fort of Culpee , and in the pursuit of the Rebel Army .

Besides the captured guns above mentioned, all the Artillery in the Fort , including a fine English 18-pounder gun, fell into our hands , as well as twenty- seven silk embroidered Standards of the Gwalior Con- tingent , bearing Scindiah's device, a cross and a serpent round it ; and one of the Kotah Contingent, also three cannon and mortar foundries , which had been constructed in the Town and Fort ; a very complete and extensive subterraneous Arsenal , containing 60,000 pounds of English powder ; every description of warlike stores and ammunition ; numerous boxes of new and old English muskets ; quantities of English shot and shell , of which there were also pilos outside the Arsenal in the Fort ; engineering tools of every description ; boxes of brass shells of native manufacture of the same sort as those frequently used against us; topographical and surveying instruments ; quantities of English station ery, & c. , &c . The brass sholls cause a worse wound than the iron, but do not burst into so many pieces

as they do . The Commissary of Ordnance estimates the value of this Arsenal at £ 20 or £ 30,000 . From information furnished by Lieutenant- Colonel

Iwas placedby the Commander- in -Chief in India, during His Excellency's absence in Rohileund, under the direct orders of the Governor General; and it is a grateful dutyto me to state that my Force and my- self are under the greatest obligations to His Lord- ship for the liberal and excellent arrangements which he caused to be made for furnishing us with supplies; and for the practical sympathy which led His Lord- shir , overwhelmed as he must have been by important affairs , to give immediate attention to all my applica- tions in favor of the Troops, even for the smallest items of medical comforts .

I am equally indebted to Lord Elphinstone and the Bombay Government and to His Excellency Sir Henry Somerset, for doing all that was possible to render my Column efficient , from the time it started till it was hundreds of miles distant from Bombay; proofs of their constant and efficacious care for the welfare of the Force , reaching it on the banks of the Jumna.

Gall, it was clear that the principal part of the Rebels had retreated by the Jaloun Road ; and Sir Robert Hamilton was of opinion that they would make to the North for the Sheer Ghat , a ford across the Junna, or another ford higher up the River . Colonel Riddell, with a moveable column was guarding the former ford. It was of vital importance to make a fresh pursuit of the enemy, in order , either to catch him between Colonel Riddell's and my fire , to meet him if he turned, or to ascertain the real line of his flight . Notwithstanding therefore the exhausted state of my Force , I detached without delay, Lieutenant Colonel Robertson with a pursuing column , of which the strength is detailed

The Bombay and Indore Bullock Train, which Lord Elphinstone created and organized with laudable promptitude, shortened the great distance between my original base, Bombay and Central India , and assisted my operations essentially.

in the margin, along the Jaloun Road . To over- take the enemy was hope- less , because, firstly, they had a start, and were not encumbered, like our Troops , with baggage, tents , and Commissariat or even the usual kit of Rebels , which they had thrown away ; secondly , their Cavalry and Infantry were in as good, as mine were in bad condition , thirdly, my European Cavalry, riding eighteen stone could not catch Indian Cavalry riding ton or at most eleven stone.

The Rebels had also adopted a mode of retreat which facilitated escape . They separated, and in ones and twos , took short cuts across country, meeting at a distant and given point .

The operations of the pursuing column, which again called into action Lieutenant- Colonel Robertson's energy and intelligence , will be detailed in my Report of the operations against Gwalior .

SirRobertHamilton , Agent of the Governor General for Central India, who , in his official capacity , accom- panied my Force throughout the Campaign, rendered very important service in obtaining supplies for the Troops and intelligence for myself, respecting the plans and movements of the enemy. Sir Robert Hamilton , whose knowledge of the roads and country is very great, gave me the first news as to the formation of the so -called Peishwa's Arıny , intended to establish the Peishwa's Rule in the ancient Peishwahcate, and of their rapid and determined advance against me to relieve Jhansi . Sir Robert Hamilton showed great sympathy for the sick and wounded, and spared no trouble to alleviate by all the means in his power their sufferings .

SIR,

I HAVE the honor to

Ihope that His Excellency the Commander - in - Chief in India will do me the favor to represent to the Go- vernor General the great obligations I am under to the Ranee of Bhopal . IHer Highness displayed the very best feeling towards the English and British interests ; she did so courageously, in the worst times , when the Natives in her part of the World , thought that Rebellion must triumph . Her Highness gave me two D-pounder guns, and a 21- pounder howitzer, with the Gunners belonging to them , very good Artillerymen , when I marched through Bhopal, which enabled me to complete No. 18 Light Field Battery . Her Highness was indefatigable in obtaining supplies for my Force , when it was very much in want of them .

So great and varied were the difficulties with which the Central India Field Force had to contend , all of which I have not thought it necessary to detail, that having stated we fully the obligations I am under to human aid, I should not do justice to my own feelings , nor I am sure to those of the generous spirits whom I led, were I not to say how large a share of our gratitude for preservation and success is due to the signal mercy of Heaven .

report, for the formation of the Brigadier Command- ing the 2nd Brigade, the arrival in Camp of the Rear Guard, having been closely followed up from within a mile of our last encampment at Etora by 4,000 to 5,000 of the Rebel Army, of which 1,000 to 1,200 were Ca- valry.

I beg to apologize for the length of this Report ; it would have been more convenient for me to have written a short one . But justice to the Troops would not allow me to curtail the details of either their, deeds or of their sufferings .

2. As the Brigadier is aware a broad and deep ravine only passable for Carts by one narrow road in- tersects the route , about a mile from Etora . 3. It was when halted here on account of the

baggage that I first saw the Rebels approaching from the Culpee direction towards my left flank. They took up a position on my loft rear and rear, occupy- ing the village of Etora, and from their strength , particularly in ('avalry, it was throughout apparent that our bold front alone saved the Rear Guard from being driven in, and the consequent loss of the guns, owing to the only line of retreat being choked up by carts.

4. During the two hours or more we were halted here, the enemy's Cavalry made sevoral advances, one or two at a rapid pace, but deceived, I imagine , by the perfect steadiness of the Troops into supposing that a larger force was concealed in the broken ground In excuse of the very tardy arrival of this Report, for which I am solely to blame, and for which I beg to offer my respectful apologies to the Commander- in- Chief in India, I must adduce a circumstance to which I should not otherwise have alluded. I had three attacks of sun during the assault and cap- ture of Kouch ; one in the action at Mutha and a fifth in the gental action of the Jumna. As the remedies to enable me to rise again, ride and retain the Command in the Field , which I never left , were necessarily strong , and as my determination to exercise the Command, till Culpee was taken , did not allow of my taking the rest, or following the treat- ment necessary for the cure of sun- sickness , and as the heat of the sun increased instead of diminishing , [ 474 ]

Light Cavalry and the half Battery whom I met ou their way to Muttra.

inour rear, they did not close , and as soon as the road was clear I withdrew, first the guns and Infantry to aposition on this side the ravine, then the Troop of Her Majesty's 14th Dragoons , and lastly the remainder of the Cavalry at a walk , until concealed from the enemy by the nature of the ground, then at a gallop .

8. I found that the enemy were advancing rapidly in line about one and a half mile from us , with their line so far extended as to threaten our left rear , to this point I directed our advance and soon after coming within range the enemy halted . This enabled the 14th Light Dragoons under Major Scudamore and the two guns of the Royal Artillery to take up a position connecting our line with Muttra .

5. As I expected this retrograde movement brought the enemy on us , and before the Cavalry had had time to form on the right and left of the guns , he had occupied the position we had given up .

6. This further advance in force was, however, for some time checked by the Rifles of the 3rd Europeans, and the excellent practice of the two guns of the Royal Artillery, and time given for the baggage to get on a considerable distance.

4. A heavy fire commenced on both sides , the enemy firing remarkably well and sending two or three round shot into the ranks of the 3rd Light Cavalry, but the superior fire of the Royal Artillery and No. 18 Battery effectually stopt all further advance on their part .

7. For the first three miles of the remainder of our march, we were almost surrounded by the Rebel Caval- ry, and fired into by their Artillery, but alternately halting and retiring, we succeeded in preventing any of the baggage from falling into their hands .

8. If any baggage was lost , it could not have been on the road by which I marched, and to have divided the Rear Guard or even extended it more than was done, would have been its destruction, followed by the loss of the greater portion of the ammunition, stores and baggage of the Brigade .

5. An attack on Muttra now attracted my atten- tion, but to withdraw any of my guns would also have drawn the enemy again upon us . Major Orr, Com- manding Hyderabad Contingent, however, most op- portunely appeared and galloping down with him ascertained that a very strong body of the Rebel Infantry had been repulsed by the 71st Highland Light Infantry under Majors Rich and Loftus . The loss of the enemy has since been ascertained to havebeen very great, but having had time during the morning (since yesterday's attack) to loophole the houses, the fire of the enemy was harmless .

9. I herewith enclose a list of Casualties during theday.

10. I would beg to bring to your notice the Officers named in the margin of this Report, and in an especial manner Lieutenant Lowry, to the precision of whose fire and the manner in which he handled his two guns do I chiefly attribute our being able to keep in check so large a body of Cavalry .

6. The precautions for protecting the right of the Camp were not unnecessary for another Column of Infantry and two heavy guns came down from Culpee, and sent several shot right through the Camp without however much damage. Captain Field, RoyalArtillery, most ably kept these at a distance supportedby the 3rd European Regiment and the romainder of the 24th Native Infantry .

11. Lieutenant Bonns, Bombay Engineers, and Veterinary Surgeon Lamb , 3rd Light Cavalry , were most useful to me in getting on the baggage and in conveying orders . Mr. Lamb rode into Camp at my request to report the presence of the enemy and returned at very considerable risk of being cut off.

SIR, I ARRIVED here on the morning of 18th instant , with the force as per margin, and broke ground the same night. On the following morning we had three 10- inch Mortars in position opposite to the Kort of Culpec, and a fourth on the nextday.

SIR, I HAVE the honor to report for the informa- tion of the Major -General Commanding Central India Field Force, that a large body of upwards of 1,200 of the enemy's Cavalry with 3 guns moved suddenly out yesterday at 2 P. M. from the rear of a large village situated about two coss on our left flank . The plain intervening is not intersected by nullahs , and they were soon after reported to be advancing with an evi- dent intention of attacking our Camp .

2. The small village of Muttra which forms out left point of Appir was then occupiedby two Compa- nies of the 71st Highland Light Infantry and two guns belonging to the Bombay Light Battery No. 18, with a support from the 24th Native Infantry, immediately reinforced this post with the whole of the 71st and the romaining two guns of No. 18 Bat- tery and giving orders for the 14th Light Dragoons and twoguns of the Royal Artillery to follow, proceed dat once to meet the enemy, taking with me the 3rd-

2. On the morning of the 10th, I received an urgent requisition from Sir Hugh Rose for a Wing ofHer Ma- jesty's 88th Regiment, a wing of the Sikh Police Batta lion, and the whole of the Camel Corps , to join his force on the opposite side of the Jumnd; tho-demand for this amount of Troops from my column was made upon the supposition that a patrol of threo Companies of the 88th Regiment, 200 of the Sikh Battalion, and 100 of the Towana Horse and 2 guns which I had sent to Sher- ghur had rejoinod me , but as that patrol had not returned, and I had no reason to expect it back for some time, I did not consider myself justified in com- plying to the full extent with Sir Hugh's request, and I sent across the Jumna on the night of the 20th, two Companies of the 88th , the whole of the Camel Corps , and 124 of the Sikh Infantry, informing Sir Hugh that as soon as I could hear of the approach of the patrol [ 475 ]

that I would send the remainder of the men asked for by him

3. By Sir Hugh Rose's orders, I sent on the morn- ing of the 21st two 8 -inch mortars and two field guns, with a Company of the 88th Regiment to Russool- poor, a village about 3 miles below Culpee on the left bank of the Jumna, and opposite to the village of Rehree, where the enemy had abattery which command- ed the road by which Sir Hugh purposed advancing onCulpec.

4. During the night of the 21st, two 8 -inch mor- tarswere put into position in the village of Diloule opposite the Kutcherry and Town of Culpee .

believe the merits of Major Blunt are already knowg to His Excellency the Commander- in-Chief, but I bee to express my acknowledgments of the valuabln services Major Blunt has afforded me since he joined my column in February last ; he has been indefatigable, active and zealous for the good of the service , not confining himself to the mere routine of his own branch of it, but he has given me on all ocasions his advice which his knowledge of the country and professional acquirements rendered so valuable to me. Of Captain Turnbull, of the Bengal Engineers , I cannot speak too highly . Not only was he most persevering in making the batteries, exposing himself all day to the overpowering heat of the sun, but when he had finished his duty as an Engineer, he then became an Artilleryman, and worked the Mortar Battery at Diloule. It will be a subject of much gratification to me if the expression of my thanks to these Officers were productive of the appreciation of their services by His Excellency the 5. Under instructions from Major- General Sir Hugh Rose, the three above-mentioned Mortar Batteries opened fire at noon on Saturday, the 22nd. The well- directed fire of the mortars and guns from the Rus- soolpoor Battery under Lieutenant Hare, of the Ben- gal Artillery, soon cleared the village of Rehree , and the Rebels withdrew what guns they had there . The practice of Major Blunt's four 10- inch Mortar Battery was beautifully accurate, and that from Captain Turn- bull's at Diloule was most effective and well sustained until the occupation of the town by Sir Hugh Rose's force.

Commander in -Chief. It is due to Lieutenant G. L. Fraser, of the late 23rd Native Infantry Regiment, that I should speak most favourably of the way he has performed his duties as Staff Officer to the Column : he has been most zealous and hard working .

Ibeg to enclose a Report from Major Blunt , also one from Captain Turnbull, and the usual Casualty Return which I am very glad to say is very trivial .

Ihave,&c. , 6. The river Jumna being between my force and the enemy, the Infantry and Cavalry under my com- mand had not the opportunity of giving that active co-operation to Sir Hugh Rose that I could have wished, but they performed their picquet and battery duties much to my satisfaction , the Enfield Rifles of the 88th Regiment annoyed the enemy very much and prevent- ed them having the free use of the river in front of the town.

to retire precipitately, and they made no further stand About this time also I had been compelled to reinforce my right , with a Company of Her Majesty's 80th Regiment, and my left with the 21st Company Royal Engineers as the determination shown by the enemy was so great , and the distress occasioned by the exces- sive heat of the day so paralysed the mon that they could scarcely hold their ground ; simultaneously how- ever with the repulso in the centre , the enemy wero driven back on both flanks and our whole line pushing on, completely routed them . In compliance with the Major- General's instructions, I checked the pursuit of the enemy beyond a certain point. It was however persevered in on the right by Lieutenant -Colonel Lowth , Her Majesty's 86th Regiment, further thanwas intended : having reinforced the original picquets , I di- rected that the remainder of the Troops should return to their tents .

I HAVE the honor to report that about 9 AM of the 22nd May, the 1st Brigade Central India Field Force got under arms in compliance with instructions from the Major- General Com- manding, and in consequence of the enemy threaten- ing the right and front of our Camp near the village of Golowlee in force, 1 myself proceeded to the Mortar Battery on the right, the picquet at which consisting of one Company 3rd European Regiment, also the picquet on the bank of the Jumna, composed of one Company Her Majesty's 6th Regi- ment, which guarded our extreme right flank had, by the orders of the Major -General, been reinforced by nearly the whole ofHer Majesty 86th Regiment which, thrown into skirmishing order, covered almost the whole of our position to the right The Major- General also di- rected half of No. 4 Light Field Battery to move down to the Mortar Battery , and fire was immediately open- ed on the enemy, who were advancing in great num- bers, and with much spirit over ground most favorable to them, as it was thickly intersected in every direc- tion by nullahs and ravines close up to our position . Finding that the enemy were commencing to out- flank the left of our line of skirmishers, 1 sent for three Companies of the 25th Regiment Native Infan- try which when extended , made all secure in that diroc tion; the action now became general throughout the whole line, but the advance of the enemy was checked, though most obstinately persevered in on the ex- treme right , where Lieutenant- Colonel Lowth, Her Majesty's 86th Regiment , was Commanding ; matters thus continued until about noon , when the enemy made a most determined assault on the Mortar Bat- tery and position held by the guns , taking advantage of our line of skirmishers being weakened by many men having been compelled to fall to the rear from the effects of the sun, which as felt by all was most over- powering ,as also from their Rifles having become leaded . At this juncture I could only muster a handful of men to defend the Mortar Battery and guns, and the enemy were steadily pushing on when the timely arri- val of two Companies of the Rifle Brigade , which in reply to my call for aid, the Major- General himself brought up, and led against the enemy, caused them [ 477 ]

on it, received a volley, but charging in with a cheer drove the enemy out of it at once , and put themto flight , the Brigade continued to advanco till the posi- tion indicated by the Major General was reached and secured. I then sent for the Guns and Cavalry, having , as the Major - General is aware on account of the nature of the ground over which we marched, been obliged to leave both in the rear, until our new posi- tion had been gained, the Brigade now remained halted until ajunction was effected with the Column under the personal Command of the Major- General , when having received orders to enter the Town of Culpee , I did so ,with all my Infantry, and finding it deserted bivouacked the men in the most . suitable manner I could, till I was ordered to march into Camp at about 5 o'clock, P. M.: the remainder of the 1st Brigade were serving immediately under the Major- General on this day. I do not therefore report their proceed- ings . Major Gall, Her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons , has intimated to me, that he was in Command of the pursuing Cavalry on this occasion, and that he has sent in his report to the Chief of the Staff .

I HAVE have the honor to report , for the the Major -General Commanding Field Force, that on the 23rd directed by your order to pursue the tobe retiring from Culpeeby the Gwalior or Jaloun Road with the Troops as per margin. I immediately proceeded to as- semble the force placed under my Command on the road indicated to me which proved to be the high road from Culpeeto Jhansi . This however diverges to Jaloun about three miles as near as I can recollect

from Culpee .

Captain Lightfoot reporting his horses to be suffer- ing greatly from want of water , an order was issued to water them before commencing the pursuit .

Whilst they were drinking , Captain Abbott informed me that a large Mussulman tomb about half a mile up the Jhansi Road was occupied by 300 of the eneiny , and we at once proceeding thither made preparations for surrounding it with our Cavalry, and as we moved towards it Lieutenant Dowker , of the 1st Regiment Hyderabad Contingent , joined me with 50 Sabres.

The building was found to be unoccupied , but at the same time the enemy was descried retiring in great numbers over the plain beyond it to our right front and a pursuit which soon brought me to the point where the roads from Jhansi and Jaloun to Culpee unite , was commenced. Here I left Captain Need who had accompanied me thus far with his Squadron , to bring up the Horse Artillery I had sent back for .

Lieutenant Dowker I detached a little to my right and accompanied by Captains Abbott and Barrett at the head of their respective Detachments , I charged through the enemy's retiring line and dispered it , the Rebels were cut up in all directions with theloss of two guns which they abandoned to Lieutenant Dowker on the right. The Dragoons in the centre sabred a great many of the fugitive Sepoys who firing wilwildly an completely panic -stricken by the suddenness and rapidity of our advance, some instances and an easy prey to their pursuers , in ting away their arms , in others to be followed into ravines where our elephants were soon after cap- suffering themsel they were slain . cured as the pursuit continued.

4. In conclusion it gives me the greatest pleasure to state that the Troops of the 1st Brigade on this occasion as at Koonch displayed a determined fortitude which nothing could overcome in the action of the 22nd May they were exposed to a fiercely burning sun from 9 a . M. to 2 P. M. , and though as I have men- tioned they were much distressed by the same, yet every man struggled to get to the front until fairly beaton down . , I am much indebted to the Officers of my Staff'; Captain Fenwick , Field Engineer ; Captain Colly, Major of Brigade ; Captain Bacon , Deputy Assistant Quarter Master General , and Lieutenant Henry, Sub- Assistant Commissary General, for their gallantry, zeal , and indefatigable exertions during these operations , also to Surgeon Mackenzie, Staff Surgeon, who on this occasion was, as I have ever found him, most unremitting in his exertions in his Department. Captain Colly, my Brigade Major; has served with this Brigade since it was first organized in June last , and during the eventful year that has passed has shown great gallantry in the field and un- tiring zeal and application in the performance of his various duties , which he has conducted much to my satisfaction. I therefore most carnestly beg to bring the services of this meritorious Officer to the favour- able notice of the Major- General Commanding . I beg also to place on record how ably 1 was seconded in the operations herein detailed by Lieutenant- Colonel Lowth, Her Majesty's 86th Regiment , an Officer of great energy and judgment , most conspicuous also on every occasion for his gallantry . Lieutenant- Colonel Lowth reports to me that Major Stuart , Captain Lepper, Ensign Keane, and Assistant Surgeon Barry all did good service , and that Captain Lepper and Dr. Barry left sick beds to join their Regament in the field. I had also occasion to remark the excellent conduct of Ensign Truemanwho Commanded the picquet of the 3rd European Regiment at the Mortar Battery on the 22nd instant . This Officer though very young in the Service, behaved with great steadiness and gallantry . The Wing 25th Regiment Native Infantry employed under me on the 22nd instant greatly distinguished them- selves: they were hotly engaged the whole morning and fought most stoutly : the conduct of Serjeant Major Graham on whom devolved the Command of the half Battery No. 4 Light Field Battery when Lieutenant Strutt was directed to procced with the remainder of his guns to another part of the field, deserves great praise ; for when the crisis I have alluded to was at hand, I found him prepared to meet it with the utinost steadiness .

Beyond the village of Hurkhoopoora, about a hun- dred of the enemy's red Cavalry crossed our front , from the left accompanied by some Infantry, and entered a village about half a mile to our front, as it appeared that they were disposed to make a stand here, and my Cavalry being thrown into some disorder by the pursuit , I sounded the assembly and reformed my line with the intention of attacking them, but before this could be done, they, had fled, and in the exhausted state of the men and horses further pursuit for the moment was out of the question . I therefore halted and proceeded to water my horses at a well to my left rear . Between two and three hundred of the Rebels had been sabred, without any Casualties on our side beyond those specified . On my left the sound of Captain Lightfoot's guns had been heard as we ap- proached by the Jhansi Road, preceded by Captain Need who extending to the right and left of the road, charged the rear of an Infantry Column of whom he cut down nearly two hundred, while Captain Lightfoot lied them with shot and shell.

List of Officers and Men of the Central India Field Force specially mentioned for important or good service in the operations before Culpee, from 17th to 23rd May 11858 .

Captains Need and Lightfoot captured three pieces o Ordnance during this advance , continued by the former to the 8th mile stone on the Jhansi Road.

Captain Wood, Assistant Adjutant General. Useful service and zeal during the operations .

After watering , I joined the Horse Artillery on the Jhansi Road and proposed advancing, but the exhausted state of the Horse Artillery horses and indeed of our men generally, would not admit of this, and I gave orders for the return of the Force to Camp at Culpee, which we reached after having been upwards of thirteen hours on the saddle .

Captain Cockburn , Her Majesty's 43rd Regiment, Aide-de -Camp . Useful service and zeal during the operations ; and gallant conduct in the charge of the Camel Corps . Horse wounded.

Lieutenant Luard, late 1st Bengal Native Cavalry, Acting Aide-de- Camp . Useful servico and zeal during the operations .

Aconsiderable body, some hundreds of the Rebels went off early to my right, in a Northerly direction , descending into ravines where it would have been very difficult to follow them with Cavalry (amongst them were a great many women and children) this body 1 did not pursue.

I cannot speak too highly of Captain Abbott's conduct during the pursuit , which on the left he led well in advance at the head of his Regiment, animat- ing it by an example it nobly followed.

Lieutenant Baigrie , 3rd Bombay Europeans , Acting Assistant Quarter Master General ; useful service and great devotion in continuing to discharge his duties during the whole of the operations, although badly wounded. Gallant conduct in the charge of the Camel Corps . Horse killed.

Brigadier The very weak Squadron of Dragoons that I had with me was ably led by Captain Barrett, whose good conduct whilst serving under my immediate Command I have already had occasion to bring to the notice of the Brigadier, Commanding 1st Brigade Central India Field Force, for favorable recommendation to the Major-General. Captain Barrett's men did great execution amongst the Rebels , and the Sowars of the 1st Cavalry Hyderabad Contingent led by Lieutenant Dowker emulated them .

Dr. Arnott , Superintending Surgeon, expresses his approval of the Medical Officers of the Force under his orders in the following terms, and I beg to confirm his approval :-

" To the distinguished skill and ability of Field Sur- geon Ritchie, is due the eminent success of the Depôt Hospital at Jhansi, in which every capital operation has completely succeeded , and among 200 European and 100 Native Sick and Wounded the Casualties have been far below the average .

2. The latter Officer had been instructed to sweep through the Khyreeghur District in which it was known that from two to three thousand Rebels were lurking , they having retreated there and been gradually reinforced in numbers by fugitives from other quarters since Colonel Christie's skir- mish which took place in the end of December .

No. 273 of 1859. In publishing the following Ietter from the Deputy Adjutant General of the Army, No. 4, of the 22nd Januaryd January 1859, forward- ing three Despatches, one from Brigadier General R. Walpole, C. B. , and two from Colonel M. G. Den nis, IHer Majesty's 60th Rifles , Commanding a Moveable Column , IIis Excellency the Governor General in Council notifics his entire concurrence in the sentiments expressed by the Right Hon'ble the Commander in - Chief, and in his commendation of the conduct of the Brigadier General and of the Officers and Men employed on the occasion :-

No. 4 .

3. The Officers Commanding the out-posts on the Rohilcund Frontier had been carefully put on their guard, as it could not but be anticipated that as the result of Colonel Dennis' forward movement after he had crossed the Sarjoo and penetrated the Khyreeghur jungle, the Rebels in his front would try to escape into the jungles under the hills North of Rohilcund .

FROM THE DEPY . ADJT . GENL . OF THE ARMY, TO THE SECY. TO THE GOVT . OF INDIA,. Military Department .

4. This accordingly happened as will be seen in the Colonel's Despatches , Colonel Dennis having, in Lord Clyde's opinion, displayed much energy in carrying out his instructions.

SIR,

5. Brigadier General Walpole most properly considered that in such circumstances , when his Division was threatened, his position should be at his outposts , and he was thus able in person to direct the Troops forming them when the expected contingency took place.

This, His Excellency is happy to observe, he did with the most admirable effect as shown in . his own narrative .

I HAVE the honor, by desire of the Com- mander - in - Chier , to forward for submission to His Excellency the Viceroy and Governor General, three Despatches ; viz . , one from Brigadier Gene- ral R. Walpole , C. B. , dated the 16th instant, and two from Colonel M. G. Dennis , of Her Majesty's 60th Rifles , Commanding a Moveable Column, dated respectively the 14th and 15th instant.

FROM BRIGDR -GEN . R. WALPOLE, C. B. ,

Comdg. Rohilound Division ,

Το MAJ. - GENL . SIR WILLIAM MANSFIELD , K. C. B. ,

At about 8 o'clock A. M. , Colonel Smyth arrived, he having started early, leaving the guns and detachment to follow later in the day, but on meeting my messen- ger, and hearing what was going on , he directed him to proceed as fast as possible to Bunbasa, and pushed on to join me .

Chief of the Staff.

Camp Sisseah, Banks of Saarda , The 16th January 1859 .

SIR,

From the time we took up our position a fire was opened on both sides , but without any damage to us ; at about 8 A. M. , the enemy issued from the forest in force, a line of 3 or 400 Sepoys inany dressed in uniform , leading in skirmishing order, supported by two guns , large numbers of foot and some horsemen, Colonel Smyth riding forward took a position to en- filade them with the guns, and the Highlanders and Kumaon Levy in extended order, received them with a heavy fire at the same time ; the Artillery reserving their fire until within grape range drove back the whole mass with great loss into the forest along the edge of which their skirmishers remained keeping up a fire , and occasionally advancing to attack us whenever our fireceased .

In a former despatch I acquainted you for the information of the Right Hon'ble the Commander- in- Chief, that I had formed two Columns under Lieute- nant-Colonel Wilkinson , 42nd Highlanders , and Lieutenant- Colonel Smyth, Bengal Horse Artillery, and directed the former to proceed to Madho Tanda , for the purpose of watching the course of the Suarda in front of that place, and the latter to guard the fords on that river from Colonel Wilkinson's left, as far as Birimdeo at the foot of the hills .

On the 28th ultimo, on hearing that a large Force of Rebels was collected in the neighbourhood of Khyreghur, I proceeded to Colonel Wilkinson's Camp , where I remained a week visiting the different ghats, and afterwards joined Colonel Smyth's Camp at this place.

At about 12 o'clock , the 2 guns with the eleven Highlanders on them and the Cavalry returned from Bunbasa, and a Squadron arrived from the South, and thinking it of the greatest consoquence to provent the enemy escaping through the forest, and feeling con- fident I could hold my position in their front, I des- patched 2 guns and a Squadron of Cavalry to the open plain in front of the village of Nugra to watch the whole of the jungle in that direction, and determined to act on the defensive until the two Companies of Highlanders , which I had sent for arrived , unless my picquet which was separated from us shouldbe seriously attacked, when I determined to advance into the jungles to rescue them.

The arrangements made by both these Officers were excollent , all the principal ghats were watched, yet still (although I was in hopes we should hear of any large body of Rebels crossing the line to bo watched , 40 miles, was so extended for the small Forco at my disposal , and the jungle was in parts so dense , that I saw at once, it was impossible to prevent small bodies of men at night crossing the river which was falling daily, and fresh portions of it becoming fordablo.

Colonel Dennis having informed me that he was directed to sweep throuthrough the Khyreghur jungles , Colonel Smyth on the 14th instant proceeded to the small detachment (which was watching the Bunbasa ghat, 13 miles up the river, on the extreme left of our line) , with two guns , a few Highlanders on them, and an escort of Cavalry to strengthen that post, in case an attack shouldbe made on it, whon the Rebels wero disturbed by C'olonel Dennis ' Column .

On the 15th instant at dawn , firing was heard in our Camp, from a ghat about (3) three miles up the river, where we had a picquet of 20 Highlanders , 20 Kumaon Levy, and 10 Irregular Cavalry , and soon after information was sent in that the enemy was crossing the river in strength with elephants and guns , about 600 yards below the picquet whore the forest was very dense .

At about 3 o'clock P. M. , a heavy fire of musketry was heard in the direction of the prequct . I therefore decided to attack and unite with it . I directed Colonel Smyth to gain possession of the road which led to them . He galloped forward with the guns with great gallantry , the Infantry only about 90 in all ad- vanced in skirmishing order , and the Cavalry formed as well as the rough jungle would permit , to support the whole . The enemy fought with great (lotormina- ation, but the IIighlanders advanced with such intre- pidity and steadiness , and the guns were so well served and takon so nobly to the front, that the enemy, though fighting in the most obstinate manner, after asevere struggle gave way. We continued to advance pressing their right so effectually that in an hour I was enabled to open communication with the picquet . But we had sullored sovoroly. Captain Lawson was badly wounded, nobly fighting in the front with his men , the Color Serjeant of the same Company was [ 485 ]

by Lieutenant Coleridge, and of the Troop of Native Bengal Horse Artillery ably Commanded by Captain Renny ; no Artillory could have behaved with more devotion, more courage , or more coolness ; to the whole of the Officers and Mon of this Troop I am deoply indebted . To Lieutenant- Colonol Smyth, the greatest praise is due for the extremely good arrangements he made for watching the ghats, and for his vigi- lance and constant exertions in this harassing duty in a country of thick jungle . I am also oxtremely indebted to this Officer for the able and valuable assistanco he gave me during the action , and I beg most strongly to recommend him to His Lordship's notice and protection .

killed. Licutenant Kemp, Commanding the Detachment ofKumaon Levy, was mortally wounded while gallantly leading on his inen, and our Casualties for so sinall a Forco, were considerable , but our object was gained, the Infantry of the piequet under Lieutenant Coleridge were at once sent to the front and reinforced, our thin line of Skirmishers, and the whole advancing with cheers continued to drive the enomy before them until the sun was down when we arrived at a deep swanp which was impassablo for guns, the enemy were hurriod- ly and in confusion re- crossing the river, and but a feeble fire was kept up. At 7 o'clock P. M. , the two fresh Com- panies of the 42nd arrived, and the whole advancing under Captain Groen , soon cleared our front and finished the action , driving the enemy before them and bayonetting somo, who obstinately continuedto ronmin in the high grass to fight them.

Mybest thanks are due to Lieutonant Lance, 2nd Punjaub Irregular Cavalry, who was unfortunately wounded carly in the morning , and his horse killed while endeavouring to communicate with the picquet, and also to Major Carey, my Acting Quarter Master General who , on Lieutenant Lanco boing wounded, I directed to take Command of his Regiment, there being no other Officer with it.

The whole of the Cavalry exposed to a heavy fire in ground most unfavourable for the action of that arın, behaved remarkably well.

It was now 8 P. M. , all firing ceased and al- though moonlight, a thick mist and the smoke which continued to hang heavily among the trees, made it impossible to see many yards . I therefore considered it prudent not to push further through the jungle, where even a few desperate wounded men might have shot or stabbed our skirmishers without our observing them . ' 1 therefore remained quietly in position until midnight, when all having been quiet for some hours , 1 loft a strong picquet at the village and Cavalry to watch the outside of the forest, and took back the remainder to Camp where we lay on our arms .

The Kumaon Lovy, young and inexperienced boys , suffered from the impossibility of preventing them congregating in masses instead of extending ; great praise is due to Subadar Runjeet Khatric , an old Na- tive Officer of the G6th Goorkas, who was unremitting in his zeal and gallantly in commanding them on the removal of the their brave Officer Lieutenant Kemp .

The following morning I sent a long line of skirmishers through the entire junglo, two guns which had been abandoned were secured ; several horses and bullocks and the killed , with a few wounded who had beon unable to move lay thick and numerous ; old Sepoys' muskets , mateklocks and swords had been thrown away in all directions . Among the slain are Nurput Sing, his cousin Bene Sing and his son. The Rebols weredriven entirely routed across the Saarda, and are dispersed ; several small parties with many wounded men who fled from the fight have been cap- tured by our patrol parties and the police in various directions , and the Force is entiroly broken up.

The zeal and indefatigable exertions of Assis- tant Surgeon Smith , B. Horse Artillory, the only Medical Officer with the Force were unccasing, and he was constantly exposed during the day to the fire of the enemy while attending on our numerous wounded . 1 beg to bring to His Lordship's notice my Acting Adjutant General Major Barwell who was wounded, whose usefulness , active exertions and courage deserve myparticular thanks , and to my Aide- do- Camp Lioute- nant Henly, 62nd Regiment , my best thanks are due for his general usefulness, his zeal, and his intel- ligenco .

I beg to enclose a list of Casualties and a Sketch of the ground .

Ihave, &c . , (Signed) R. WALPOLE, Brigdr. Genl. , Comdg. Rohilcund Division .

To the small gallant band who so nobly fought against such overwhelming numbers , (for the enemy were above 2000,) and to the whole of the Ollicers , only 15 in all including my Staff, after the arrival of the two Companios of the 12ud, my warmest thanks are due . It is impossible to speak in too high praise of the small body of 42nd Highlanders bravely led by Captain Lawson until wounded, and then Commandod

SIB, I HAVE the honor to report, for information ofHis Excellency the Commander - in- Chief, that during last night I received a note from Lieutenant Dixon , Commanding Detachment of Mooltanee Horse, inform- ing me that he had come upon the track of the Rebels some fifteen miles from my encampment . He halted whenhe found his information certain , and he ascer- tained this morning that they were about ten miles in advance of him , with which he acquainted me. I started early this morning, but on the march I received a note from Lieutenant Dixon, giving mo to understand that he was close upon the Rebels . I immediately hastened on with the Artillery and 2nd Dragoon Guards, but I regret to say I was too late to take part in an affair between Lieutenant Dixon , with his Mooltances , aided by Lieutenant De Kantzow , and about eighty of his Police, and in which the former was severely wounded , and several men both of the Mooltances and Police.

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 , writtenor 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.

No Book - Packet canbe 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 letter or any communication of the nature of a letter written or printed in it or upon its cover will be charged with Letter Postage .

IRON Pillar Letter Boxes have been placed in the following localities :-

RadaBazar, Bonded Ware -house, Wellington Square, Mangoe Lane , Park Street, Gowkhannah , Scott Thomson's , General Treasury, Prinsep's Ghaut, Fort near Main Guard, Watgunge , Salt Golah Ghaut, Matia Poruze, Ballygunge, General Hospital , Theatre Road , Strand Flour Mills , Prossono Coomar's Ghaut, College Square and Chitpore Road, and are opened three times a day at 9 A.

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.

ALL Banghy Parcels being registered before despatch it is needless to have a Banghy Parcel specially registered byby 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. 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 .

Mirzapore. Cossipore. Chitpore. Garden Reach .

Kidderporo . Alipore. Belvidore. Bhowanipora. Himlah.

A NUMBER of Letters and Newspapers for parties residing at Calcutta are from their being directed to the Suburbs of the Town, mistaken for places in the Mofussil , and are enclosed in the Boxes superscribed " Inland" by the London Post Office and are not in consequence discovered by the Calcutta Post Oflice, till after the local delivery has taken place . This will account for some of the letters , &c . , reaching the Addressces at a late hour .

The party under my command first came upon him on which he quickly vacated his position , the enemy under Takoor Telook Sing, and Dewan Murdun Sing had barricaded the road about a mile to the west of Sonorie, and had collected their fol- lowers to the number of 300 men, ( amongst whom were mutineer Sopoys with percussion arms ) , with the intention of disputing the passage ..

running straight on to Lieutenant Loslie's party . The enemy had now only one line of escape open , and of which they were enabled to take advantage by our numbers not having quite sufficient to complete the cordon . We pursued them till the jungle became im- practicable for troops to work in, when I returned to Poorah and pitched Camp.

The Officers and men have in every instance willing- ly and effectually carried out my orders , and to them I tender my best thanks, especially Lieutenants Coombe and Leslie, who so ably performed the duties allotted to them.

We proceeded for about three miles without opposition through a very dense jungle, not on com- ing to a sudden turn of the road, commanded by high rocks on either side in the very thickest of the wood, we were received with a heavy fire from muskets and matchlocks , with , I regret to say, fatal results to one of the European . The enemy were driven in gallant style from the rocks by the Advanced Guard , and retreated slowly, disputing every inch of ground for about a mile, where the jungle not being so dense, I ordered a more rapid advance, which resulted in the total dispersion of the Rebels , who fled in the direction of some hills to the North - East of Sonorie. They left in the jungle between 20 and 30 killed, and their wounded must be computed at still greater numbers . From thedifficult nature of the Country , I deemed it advisable to send back a reinforcement of 50 Native Infantry to Lieutenant Coombe . The re- sults fully bore me out in this order, as the Rear Guard was attacked by some stragglers and 2 Privates 24th Regiment Native Infantry wounded .

Iproceeded to occupy the village of Sonorie , which was done without resistance . It was quite desorted : in it were the two fortified houses of the before-mentioned Takoors, which I ordered to be destroyed, and which order was carried out as well as the means at my dis- posal would admit of.

SIR, I HAVE the honor to forward for submission to the Right Hon'ble the Commander- in - Chief, a report from Cornet Tonnochy , 8th Hussars .

30th December 1858.-About 10 a. M. , it was report- ed to me that several of the enemy were lurking among the hills and jungle to our rear . the following party, 25 lank and File 3rd Europeans and the Police proceeded by a detour to the North- West, while Lieutenant Leslie, with the 24th Regi- ment Native Infantry, was ordered to make a similar detour in a South - West direction, and meet the party under my Conımand to the West of a large hill behind which the enemy were supposed to be . We scoured the jungle for about three hours , but without being able to bring them to action, although they were seen in the distance, and one wounded by a man of the 24th Regiment Native Infantry . Their knowledge of the country, and the thickness of the jungle enabled them to oscape.

This Officer has performed useful service and has conducted the duties entrusted to him ably and creditably .

Amongst these hills, the Police succeeded in retaking a quantity of cotton and thread which had been loot- ed by the enemy some days previously, and which I handed over to the Thessaldar of Chunderie.

TheNativeOfficers mentioned'in Cornet Tonnochy's report will, I trust, receive His Lordship's favorable notice .

31st December 1858. Early in the morning before day- light, information was given me that the Rana with three hundred men was at Poorah in a small ghurrie, and was looting the country. 1 immediately ordered the Camp to be struck , and pushed on the 3rd Cavalry in hopes of surround- ing him in his stronghold, while I followed with the rest of the column . His look outs however, posted on a high hill discovered the approach of the Cavalry, and he at once retreated to another small ghurrie in some strong jungle, about a coss beyond and to the Eastward of Poorah .

I then gradually withdrew the Cavalry in hopes that the Rebels would follow and give me an oppor- tunity of charging them on favorable ground ; just at this critical moment the shouts of " Meade's Horse," charging from the opposite side of the hill, showed me their position, and leading up my own party we cleared the hill , driving the enemy to take shelter in the adjacent jungles. Twenty- five bodies were counted on the field after the charge , in which Hurdeo Sing , Duffadar of " Meade's Horse," parti- cularly distinguished himself. We rescued a Zemin- dar who was a captive in the hands of the Rebels , together with a couple of Bankers . The enemy mustered two hundred matchlocks according to the report of the captives . After burning their village, we carried off a number of their cattle , together with one prisoner taken in the charge, with arms in his possession . Dhakunjee , the Zomindar of Gurohie, was also in arms against us .

I HAVE the honor to report for the information ofBrigadier Roweroft , that I marched from Bustee towards Bhanpore, with the Regiment of Ferozepore, this morning as directed. Just before day- break. I was informed that the Rebels had strong piequets of about 100 men cach in the nullah and jungle close by on my then left ; that they had been sounding their bugles , and were very busy running about in the border of the jungle . Continuing my advance , I ar- rived near Bhanpore at sun -rise ; the Rebels (as they proved to be) began firing musketry , keeping under cover of the jungle , and immediately fired a gun . Captain Browne oponing fire on my right front, my skirmishers having reached within musket shot of the village, and the Rebels rotiring towards my left and rear ; 1 keeping my right close to the village, at- tempted to cut off the enemy's rotreat by dashing through the jungle on the left of the road.

proved but an attempt, for I cleared the jungle only. just in time to see them retreating Khoanec Nuddee, still more to my then left . the

The enemy retreating under cover of the jungle, and out of reach of musketry, I am inclined to think they had but few or no Casualties, and I am happy to say but one man (of the Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry) wounded on our side .

To Captain Boyd, Com- which he handled the skirmishers, and the spirited to express my best thanks, for the able manner in way in which he led the advance. Lieutenant Ingles and the Naval Brigade worked their guns with a ra- pidity and coolness which was beautiful towitness .

The position of the enemy evidently shows they in- tended to have got round upon the rear of (either) one directions at one and the same time , and their pre- parations for retreat shows they had intimation of our advance . They are now said to have crossed the Khoanee River about a coss in our present front. party, had we not advanced from two different

Imuch regret that Lieutenant Ellis and his fine Troop of Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry had no opportu- nity of charging, as the country consisted of thick jungle and large topes of trees, with very little open space between them.

Onarriving within 2 miles of the enemy's position , I halted till day-light , and then advanced about half a mile from Bhanpore, which we reached about sun -rise, a deep nullah crossed the road, where some difficulty occurred inpassing the guns over .

No sooner had the whole Force passed this nullah , than the enemy opened fire on us with round shot , one of which, I regret to say, severely wounded a man of the Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry . As they had got our range with perfect accuracy, I considered that to SIR, remain where we were would subject us to many more Casualties , and dotermined on attacking them at once . We advanced with the Guns in the centre, supported on both flanks by the 13th Light Infantry in skir mishing order, with supports , the Troop of the Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry in the rear. The enemy now showed in great numbers in our front and both flanks . I should rate their numbers at about 800 men, Ca- valry, Infantry, and 2 Guns, though the Native spies say there were many more. our advancing retired, though in a most orderly manner, from which I am disposed to think there were inany Sepoys among them and Irregular Cavalry.

We followed them rapidly, the guns of the Naval Brigade throwing shell into them with admirable celerity and precision , the 13th keeping up a rapid Rifle firing. The Rebels occasionally halted and fronted, firing volleys of musketry at us , but without effect. We chased them for about 2 miles , when they were driven into a thick jungle, where pursuit would have been useless , and as we had left the Town of Bhanpore in our rear, and not knowing whether there was any Rebel Force holding it or not, I determined on returning there to ascertain . At this moment, as you castward of Goruckfore.

17 miles, we found ourselves in the vicinity of a house , formerly an Indigo Factory, and which , I had been led to suppose , was also in the occupation of the Rebels, but as this information proved incorrect , I proceeded to enter that portion of the jungle stated to be in their occupation, and after proceeding a short distance, came apon their position , which had evident lybeen abandoned with the utmost precipitancy, as 1 found the Camp fires burning , and the food of a large number of men in a state of preparation .

dee, ) approaching which, the Rebels, some 600 or 700, perceiving our advance, hastily assembled, and firing musketry and jingals , made a partial advance . My skirmishers being then within musket shot of them, commenced firing, and the whole, with Cavalry on both flanks , in as good a line as the broken ground and jungle would admit of, charged the enemy , and we drove them before us into a dense jungle , a short dis- tance beyond where they were first seen , but the jungle being too thick to pursue them with the least chance of further success , I retreated to the open fields , and encamped for the night.

A few bullocks and ponies , about 70 hackeries , two of them laden with rice , a quantity of native powder and cartridges , and a number of entrenching tools, had all been abandoned in the haste of departure.

Iwas much pleased with , and thankful to, the Off- cers and Men of the Cavalry , as well as my own Regi- ment (Regiment of Ferozepore) for the steady way in which all advanced, with the enemy's shots flying over ourheads, and I am happy to say, without a single Casualty on our side.

On examination, I found that a wide ditch and embankment had been traced out and partly executed on the side facing the open ground, and as from the density of the jungle, their position was almost im- practicable from other points , there can be no doubt that had time been allowed to complete the defences , it would have proved a formidable one.

The enemy were surprized while cooking their meals, and although they managed to carry off all other their property, we found much of their food still ou the fire, and the head and heel ropes of several horses cut and left on the roots of trees to which they had been fastened . The enemy are known to have had four men killed in their retreat.

Finding that pursuit in such ground was useless , I withdrew the party , after burning the Camp and destroying the powder, and marched again the evening of the 20th instant to Goruckpore, according to in- structions received from the Brigadier, leaving Mr. Bird with 150 Native Levies and 35 Europeans with half the Troop Madras Native Cavalry , both the latter parties under the Command of Lieutenant Alexander, Madras Native Cavalry, and the whole under Lieute- nant Shaw , of the Native Levies, to level the works thrown up by the Rebels , after which it is the inten- tion of Mr. Bird to return with the whole party to Goruckpore.

SIR,

Dewsa is a town situated on the Western slope of a rocky hill , and bounded to the West by fields with high banks . It was among these the Rebels had taken up their position . The approach to it was difficult . There were but two roads leading out of the town in this direction . Without a guide on whom I could rely, I threw my column into one of these, and pro- ceeded some distance in the hope of finding an open- ing to lead me to the Rebels' camp . Failing in this , and the grey of the morning appearing , I determined to commence the attack with the Cavalry, leaving the Artillery with the European Infantry as an escort to follow. I counter-marched the Cavalry , and threaded the streets of the town at a sharp trot until I came to the second road, which debouched nearer to the position of the Rebels . I pushed up one of the banks onthe right , and formed the Cavalry on the high ground, the Detachment Agra Mounted Police on the left, and Squadron of Alexander's Horse on the right, and then advancinadvancing at a charging pace across the intervening fields , came upon theRebels preparing to march . They were taken by surprise . The Cavalry dashed at once amongst them . Being enable to escape from the enclosures , numbers were killed . They how- ever soon recovered from the surprise, and commenced a sharp musketry fire upon us . The charge notwith- standing standing was continued through a second field, when all that remained were cut up ; we then came into I HAVE the honor, by direction of the Commander - in- Chief, to forward for the information of the Right Hon'ble the Governor General and Viceroy in Council , a letter from Brigadier St.G. D. Showers , C. B. , Commanding at Agra , No. 39 , of the 18th ultimo , reporting the pursuit and defeat of the Rebels under Tantia Topee and other Chiefs ; and I am to express Lord Clyde's approval of the arrange- ments which enabled that Officer to inflict so heavy loss on the Enemy .

2. Lord Clyde also desires me to beg you will bring to the favorable notice of His Excellency in Council , the names of the Native Officers and men recommended for reward by Brigadier Showers .

It separated their force into three parties ; one went off to the right , another to the left , while a considerable body were driven to our front , and vigo- rously followed up by the Detachment of Alexander's Horse and Agra Mounted Police under their gallant young Commanders , Licutenant H. Chapman, of the late 49th Regiment Native Infantry , and Lieutenant H. T. Oldfield, of the late 9th Regiment Native Infantry.

Sin,

The Artillery with the Detachment 3rd European Regiment had come up . The force had already made amost harassing march . During the last 45 hours we had followed the enemy continuously a distance of 75 miles . Men and horses had been accoutred and har- nessed the whole time, and had no other rest than what short bivouacs afforded . The horses were fagged . But Lieutenant R. S. Robinson , Commanding Artil- lery, brought up his guns to within some 1,200 yards ofthe party of the Rebels , who had fled to the right , but being at such a long range , they effected their escape without suffering severely . Ferozeshah is said to have been with this body.

Ressaldar Shadie Ramana ) Especially brought to notice Jemadar Sobha Sing, by Lieutenant Oldfield, also of Kunneya Sing , Sowar, Agra Mounted Police, on my personal escort , who was himself wounded and had his horse wounded.

The loss in killed of the Rebels may have been 300, and reports have come in stating that they are carrying off on cots numbers of their wounded : one person of rank was killed whose name has not been ascertained . The Rebels had no Guns , but the Force captured 3 Elephants and 8 Camels , all that they had; several horses and ponies and some 300 muskets and tulwars.

It is my duty also to bring to the favorable notice of Ilis Excellency the services of Lieutenants Oldfield and Chapman in leading the respective detachments against the greatly superior numbers of the Rebels . I have to offer my acknowledgments to Captain R. Stevenson, Commanding Detachment, 3rd European Regiment, and Lieutenant R. S. Robinson, Command- ingArtillery; also to Captain A. L. McMullin, of the late 23rd Regiment Native Infantry, and the Detach ment Staff Officer , and Lieutenant A. Money, 3rd European Regiment, my Orderly Officer, whose horse was shot under him . These Officers rendered me great assistance during the action .

Their strength has been variously computed at from 4 to 8,000 men, but there were certainly not less than 8,000 fighting men . They estimate their loss at 6 or 700, and reports since received state that numbers are falling oft and deserting.

It is my grateful duty to bring to the favorable notice of Governinont the hardy and cheerful spirit displayed by all branches of the force while making the long and heavy marches in pursuit of the enemy as well as the gallantry of the Cavalry during the ac- tion. The conduct of all deserves great commenda- tion .

I beg herewith to forward a statement of our loss in killed and wounded .

The top of the Hills afforded more favorable ground though of limited extent , and the attack was renewed with vigor . Captain Nightingale, with a party of the 3rd Cavalry, here joined me, and the Enomy suffered severely; but a fow minutes after they threw them- selves into a doep ravine impracticable for Cavalry and escaped from further pursuit . Their loss was great : their dead strewed the ground from the line of Pickets to the ravine into which they had descended. I am sorry to say my loss is rather severe . The enemy marched in a compact mass , and kept up an exceed- ingly heavy and constant fire on my men, who gallant- ly charged again and again, and always with effect , but we were not strong enough to break the dense column. Constant hand to hand combats occurred , in which the men showed the utmost gallantry and devotion .

In forwarding this Report I beg to bring to the notico of Brigadier Hill, as deserving of reward, the under- mentioned Officers and Men whose chivalrous bearing and dash where all were bold was most conspicuous .

I HAVE the honor to report for the infor- mation of Brigadier Hill , Commanding the Hydera- bad Contingent and Berar Field Force , that on ap- proaching the village of Russoad on the 15th instant, I agreeably to instructions received, took up a posi- tion on the right . A Native there told me that the Enemy had marched on the road immediately in my rear , and feeling convinced that the same information would reach the Brigadier in Russoad from whence the Enemy had retreated, I instantly pursued in the direction indicated. A hard gallop of 6 or 7 miles brought me up with the Rebel Force , which was at the time passing by the village of Chichumba . The pace at which I had advanced caused but few men to be up , but considering that it was my duty to delay as much as possible the further retreat of the Enemy , which wouldhave taken them to ground favorable for their escape, I at once attacked them and succeeded in causing them to take to the village and enclosures round it. I regret to state that in this affair I had four killed and three wounded out of the eight who charged with me .

FROM CAPTAIN G. NIGHTINGALE ,

Commandant 3rd Cavalry , Hyderabad Contingent, TO THE BRIGADE MAJOR, Hyderabad Contingent, Berar Field Force. Camp Chichumba, 17th January 1859.

SIR,

IHAVE the honor to forward for the infor- mation of Brigadier Hill , Commanding Berar Field Force, the following detail of such operations yester- day as immediately concerned the Regiment under my Command. We marched from Chundur at half past A. M. to Wakhud, a distance of 20 miles , and on arri- val there information having come in from Captain Ivie Campbell , that a large body of Rebels were at Ressoad and were then plundering the town, we re- ceived orders to push on . We accordingly proceeded at a gallop to Ressoad 12 miles, whore in obedience to orders previously received from the Brigadier, I pro- ceeded to the Northward of the Town to cut off the retreat of the Enemy in that direction . We were taking up our ground, when an orderly came up to tell us that the Rebels had left and were marching towards Chichumba , 7 miles further on . I immedi- ately followed in the track of the 2nd Cavalry, which having beendetailed to take the right of Ressoad had a considerable start of us . After a gallop of 6 or 7 miles over a very strong road we came in sight of Chichumba and perceived that the Ghurree and a Nullah leading from it were occupied ; on our ap- proach we found ourselves under a rather heavy fire from the Rebels who had lined the Nullah leading from the village and which Nullah afforded the Enemy excellent cover, being overshadowed by masses of trees and thick bushes , Captain Clogstoun informed me that he had lost several men in charging past the Ghurree and that he had himself been struck , so we decided (the ground being perfectly impracticable for Cavalry) to withdraw our Regiments out of fire and surround the village, which we accordingly did and enclosed the Rubels in a net work of videttes . I threw out parties to support my videttes and after recon- noitring the ground I crossed the Nullah with some difficulty, at a distance from the village and took up position with my Regiment on the rising ground to the Westward, which commanded the roads to Bamnes and Lonar. We there awaited the arrival of the Infantry and Guns, my main body being hidden from the Enemy by a slight rise in the ground . When the Artillery opened fire on the East face, I remarked that many of the Rebels came out of the Ghurrce and concealed themselves in the Castor Oil fields facing me . I sent for a gun to drive them out of this , but none could be spared just then, so I rode to within about 400 yards with Lieutenant Johnson and 20 men and began firing at the Rebels with the two Zumboorucks Ihad with me . On my doing this the Enemy returned my fire from the Castor Oil field and showed in con- siderable numbers, but one of them having been knocked over by a ball from our Zumbooruck they returned into the houses and Ghurree. Shortly after this some people were seen escaping to the Westward, and I sent a party to bring them in after the assault of the 3rd Infantry had been repulsed. I merely held my ground with my videttes throwing out additional parties as supports . Towards the evening Brigadier Hill came across the Nullah and reconnoitred the ground towards the South , where Captain Clog stoun had his Pickets . There being a Nullah here leading from the fort to the hills towards Burr, it appeared that the Rebels would attempt to cut their way out either in that direction or towards Bamnee, the ground being hilly, rocky and much cut up by deep ravines on those sides . Brigadier Hill instruc- ted me to withdraw my Regiment towards dusk , and throw back my yidettes, (so as to deceive the Rebels with the idea that we had left these positions com- paratively unguarded, ) after which when the moon

rose I was to take up a position with my Regiment , so as to cut off the retreat of the Enemy, if they at- tempted a sortie, which I had received information. from one of my prisoners it was their intention to try during the night . In obedience to these orders I took my Regiment off to the Northward, and watered the horses (food we had none for oither them or the men owing to our 35 miles' march) About 8 P. M. I personally relieved ak the videttes whom I found very much on the alert, and I allowed them as well as their supports to the number of 70 men to proceedto Camp, as they had been on that duty all day. They were to rest and also afford pro- tection to the Camp . About 9 P. M. , we seized some Rebels escaping from the Ghurree, and they informed us that the Enemy was preparing to move out . I sent information instantly to Captain Clogstoun and Brigadier Hill, but before either of the messengers had gone far we heard shots in the direction of Captain Clogstoun's Pickets , so I caused the men to fall in at once and proceeded as well as we could at a gallop towards the scene of action . We met with many ob- stacles from the nature of the ground, it being impossible in the dim moonlight to see the Nullahs and water-courses intersecting the plain at the foot of the hills . I reached the foot of the hills just as the Rebels were ascending them . These hills are such as it would be unpleasant to ride over in day- light, covered with rocks and loose stones with high grass and thick bushes, which gave the Rebels an immense advantage over the Cavalry, as a charge in a compact body was impossible to horsemen. I saw by the flashes of the guns that the Enemy was making to the South Westward ; so ascended the Hills to the left and pushing across the flat space at the top, found myself between the great ravine to my left and the whole mass of the Enemy . To give an idea of the nature of the ground, I may mention that although I started with 90 men, only about 20 of these with the Adjutant could keep up with me, when I scrambled up the side of the hill. At this time Captain Clog stounstor with his men was attacking the Rebels fiercely in the rear and driving them forwards up the side of the hill on to the plateau , notwithstanding the great advantage they had in the nature of the ground and their very superior numbers . Secing the large mass of the Enemy, numbering as has since been ascertained more than 400 on my right, I ordered a charge across their front and galloped on . When I had gone about 200 yards I found myself alone in front of the Enemy, who was now between me and my men , the only person with me being one man a Waghirah named Wassil Khan . The Enemy on seeing us commenced a tremendous fire and I could also see by the flashes of the guns that they were resisting Captain Clogstoun with the utmost determination , as they probably fancied that their retreat was cut off to the ravine . I rode backwards and forwards for several minutes in front of the mass, hoping that my Regiment would hear my shouts, till at last Ressaldar Major Ahmed Bux Khan with seven of his men who had been in search of me, came up and joined me. He then ex- plained how it happened that I was unsupported at first . When I galloped across the Enemy's front, Iinstantly disappeared from the sight of Lieutenant Johnson and the rest of the men , only Wassil Khan who happened to be next me, seeing the direction I had taken. From this , some idea maybe formed of the small degree of light there was . Lieutenant Johnson having thus lost sight of me , very judiciously turned to the right and fell upon the Enemy's real with the Regiment, the Troopers joining in as they best could through the thick bushes and grass . Here Ressaldar Major Shah Mirza Beg, charging with his usual gallantry was , while in the act of killing one man, very severely wounded by a sword cut from a Rohilla. Trooper Shaik Fukroodeen was also cat down while spearing a Rebel, and numbers of the latter fell under the swords and spears of the Troopers , whom Ihad not allowed to load their Carbines .

I HAVE the honor to report for the informa- tion of Brigadier Hill, Commanding the Berar Field Force , that on the morning of the 15th instant, after the march from Chandoll to Wakhud, and the rapid ad- vance from thence to Chichumba vid Ressoad , (consc- quent on the information received at Wakhud that the Rohillas , &c. , were then plundering Ressoad,) when Brigadier Hill ordered me to open fire on the Village of Chichumba, I placed the four guns of my Troop * 1Farrier in position , two on the East, and two on the North side of the village, and kept up a fire during the day on the Ghurree , and those parts of the village where ap- peared that parties of the Enemy were posted. This position was about 450 yards from the village when the Infantry advanced to attack the place I advanced the guns to within 150 yards of the houses and kept up as rapid a fire as 1 could to cover their advance, and when I saw the Infantry fall back , I resumed the fire to cover the retirement . I afterwards withdrew my guns to their original posi- tion and the day's operations shortly after ceased.

Captain Campbells Troop of Her Majesty's 12th Royal Lancers , which formed part of the Detachment under my Command, was detachedbyBrigadier Hill's orders on our arrival in front of Chichumba to the was going on Ahmed Bux Khan who had turned to the left in search of me , heard my shouts and joined me as above stated . I formed up his seven men and as the Enemy passed in a dark mass with shouts of defiance, keeping up a heavy fire and marching swiftly but doggedly along, I could distinguish the forms of the men of the 2nd and 3rd Cavalry charging in upon their rear. I asked my men if they would charge them, and on their reply in the affirmative we rode through their rear from right to left and each of my followers slew his man . We then turned and charged in the opposite direction, and this time the melee was at its hottest and here fell the Enemy in every direction, the killed being nearly all Affghans and Arabs . They resisted us aword and dagger in hand, while some continued firing with great steadiness and as the mass surged sulkily along , none asked for quarter and not one got it . A few yards further in and the survivors were safe, as they threw themselves down the sides of a precipitous ravine clothed with dense jungle, and here Captain Clogstoun and I recalled our men, fatigued with nearly 22 hours in the saddle , and returned towards the Gurhce of Chichumba . Wo sent our men to the encampment and taking with us 30 men of the 3rd Cavalry , proceeded to the Ghurree for the purpose of searching it and removing the dead bodies of the Troopers and men killed in the morning's fight. This being accomplished we returnedto Camp. It is now my pleasing duty to bring to the notice of the Brigadier the splendid behaviour of my Officers and men , when the fight was raging most. I was proud to see the desperate personal encounters that took place ; and the spear and sword wounds on the bodies of the slain suffici- ently proved the fury with which our gallant Troopers fought , and that they had met no despicable antago- nists. Our general loss though rather heavy is comparatively small, which I partially attribute to the darkness which prevented the Enemy from aiming accurately , even though at such close quarters . The execution done in our charges must also have shaken their steadiness , still our loss is nothing to what might have been expected in such ground and under such disadvantages , as my total strength when I started was but 90 men, and the Enemy (we have ascertained from the prisoners) numbered 100 Affghans , 100 Arabs and from 200 to 300 Dekhanies . Lieute- nant Johnson with the body of the Regiment contri- bated much to our success , and I cannot speak in too high terms of the few brave men with me, who charg- ed against such disproportionate odds . Waghirah Wassil Khan, son of Ressaldar Major Sirdar Bahadoor Ahmed Bux Khan , was alone with me for nearly 10 minutes not 100 yards from the whole body of the Rebels exposed to a nost rapid fire, and he showed then and afterwards the utmost courage and coolness . He killed two men with his own hand, and I venture to recommend him for promotion to the rank of Jemadar, both on account of his gallantry in action and in consideration of his father's services and posi- tion in the Regiment . Ahmed Bux Khan Sirdar Bahadoor behaved with his usual gallantry and killed two men. Jenudar Villayet Ali Beg (who is already recommended for the " Order of Merit " and promotion to Ressaidar for gallantry in the Central India Field Force) also sustained his reputation, and I beg to bring to the Brigadier's notice for some reward for the gallantry of the men who actually charged with me and who behaved so well .

I pursued him at a rapid trot for about seven miles when I overtook three large bodies of Cavalry estimated at about (3,000) three thousand drawn up to receive me just beyond a village called Tancha. 4. The Horse Artillery were immediately brought into action and their fire was so rapid and effective that though the Rebels endeavoured to get up a charge before the Infantry on Camels could be formed up and dismounted they could not effect it , but retired pursued by my Force, the Horse Artillery galloping to the front for some distance " with the Cavalry, " when the

I endeavoured with the Horse Artillery and Camel Corps to follow the track of the Enemy for about five miles further, but found they had so dispersed that it was not possible to do so : my Force being too small to be divided I gave up the pursuit after about ( 12) twelve miles and fell back to this place upon my supports 300 9th Native Infantry which had not then come up however ,

SIR,

7. I heard on my return to this place that five Elephants had been abandonedby the Enemy when pursued at a village in the neighbourhood, one of which has been brought in this morning to Camp but the rost are supposed to have been carried off since.

8. Not having a sufficient Force of Cavalry I am unable to scour the country as I should wish in search of the scattered Rebel Force, which I much regret as hundreds of them might be found and cut up .

I LAVE the honor to forward report of an action fought with the Rebel force under the Rao Sahib and Tantia Topco by a small force, under the command of Colonel Somerset , who is in Command ofa FieldBrigado.

9. The loss of the Enemy owing to his rapid flight was not severe , tho' numbers of men and horses , " among the former of which was a Native Sirdar" were seen to fall from the Artillery fire and some were killed in a charge of the Squadron 17th Lancers.

2. In addition to Colonel Somerset's report , I have deemed it right for His Excellency's information to forward a sketch route of the marches made by this small column in pursuit , whereby it will appear, that 170 miles were trafersed in six days .

11. I trust that I may be allowed to bring to the notice of the Major General Commanding the Division the cheerfulness of the Troops composing this Force under considerable fatigue and some hardship as well as the zealous manner in which I have been supported by the Officers of the Force on all occasions and particularly in this rapid and trying pursuit, the re- sults of which are only not greater because the Enemywould not stay to measure his strength with me and my numbers were insufficient to cope with him " when dispersed ."

his Capital, they being at Allygurh 24 miles . I marched on the 11th through Tonk to Bambour, thereby effectually Tonk 1 received information of the Rebels being on the march from Bhugwuntgurh towards Jeypore . On the morning of the 12th I marched through Nuttwara to Jellace with the view of intercepting the Rebels : on arrival at Jellace at 3 P. M. , I found that they had moved on to Chaksoo , and that Brigadier Showers, Com- manding the Agra Force , had passed through the place in pursuit . I immediately wrote to the Brigadier, who was encamped 8 or 10 miles in advance, offering to co- operate with him . With this view I moved on again at 9 P. M. , and marching through the Brigadier's Camp (with whom I had an interview ) I moved on to Chak- soo with the hope of aiding in surprising the Rebel Camp.

SIB,

At Chuksoo , I arrived at daylight of the 13th , hav- ing completed a march of 44 miles in 24 hours, but too late to effect the object contemplated, as the Rebels had moved off.

I HAVE the honor to forward a report of operations and surprize of the Rebel Forces by a small Column under the Command of Lieut . -Colonel Holines , 12th Regiment Bombay Native Infantry .

Its operations extended over upwards of 18 days, in which the Troops under his Command, mostly all In- fantry, accomplished a distance of 200 miles .

I trust IIis Lorschip the Commander- in-Chief will consider the march , and surprize of the Enemy Lighly creditable to the Officers Commanding , and the zeal and endurance of the Troops worthy of all praise .

I remained at Chaksoo for 5 hours , and it being arranged by the Brigadier that the two Columns should pursue by different routes , I marched to Gut- wassee , distant 6 miles (in direction of Lalsoot ) and to Lalsoot . On morning of 15th, having there needfor the night on the marched received the permission of Brigadier Honner, Com- manding the Rajpootanah Force , (whose Force had marched iuto Lalsoot that morning ) to move on the direction of Jeypore, 1 marched at 4 r . r . to Tonga , arriving there at 1 A. M. of the 16th . At 4 P. M. 1 marched for Jeyporo , encamped for six hours on the road, and reached it at 11 A. M.

that they were at or about Byrat. At Jeypore my Force was augmented by 172 Sowars of Mayne'sMayno's Horse (New Levy) under the Command of Lieutenant Hawkins, the Adjutant of that Corps .

No. 346 of 1859.- His Excellency the Governor General in Council is pleased to direct the publica- tion of the following letter from Major General J. Michet, C. B. , Commanding Malwa Division, for- warding a report from Brigadier Honner , C. B., Commanding Rajpootana Field Force, of the attack and pursuit of the Rebels under Rao Sahib .

On the 18th, I marched to Chowmooh ; on the 19th to Koojrowlee ; and on the 20th at 1 A. M. , to Kundee- lah. Here receiving information of the Rebels having marched to this place , (Seekun) distant 28 miles , I moved again at 6 P. M. , with the hope of surprising the Rebels in their encampment .

2. His Excellency in Council highly commends the gallantry of the Officers and men , especially those mentioned by Brigadier Honner , C. B. , and the good management of the Commander and Commissariat Officer by which such complete efficiency has been given to the Troops in their rapid movements in pursuit of the enemy.

The Force reached the vicinity of the Rebel encamp- ment at 4 ] A. M. , of the 21st instant , having marched 54 miles in 24 hours . The surprise was all but com- plete the Rebels had no intimation of our approach until we drove in their outlying Pickets , who gallop- ing off conveyed the first intimation of our being upon them.

No. 325 or 1859

The confusion heard in their Camp was very great, their Horsemen galloped off in every direction without attempting to make a stand and numbers without even saddling their horses .

I immediately moved to the attack sending 4 Guns of Captain Shekleton's Battery at a gallop to the front with all my Cavalry .

FROM THE MAJOR GENERAL Commanding the Malwa Division , TO THE ADJUTANT GENERAL OF THE ARMY. Head Quarters Camp Gungrar, 19th February 1859 . SIR,

I HAVE the honor to forward a report from Brigadier Honner, Commanding Nusseerabad Field Force, who states a march of 43 miles, from 2 4. M. to 5 P. M , of the 10th February, he came up to the Rebels under the Rao' Sahib , at Kooshana, in Marwar, attacked thein , and pursued for 8 miles .

The Cavalry, Seik Horse under Lieutenant Newall , 2nd Grenadier Regiment, Assistant to the Governor . General's Agent, and Mayne's Horse, under Lieutenant and Adjutant Hawkins, these charged and thoroughly completed the rout . They continued the chase for some hours, but unluckily missed the road which the Chiefs Tantia Topee, Rao Sahib and Prince Feroze Shah took .

Our Cavalry killed upwards of 50 of the Rebels and brought in 51 prisoners , besides a number of women. A greater number of the Rebels might have been slain, but all those who had thrown away their arms, were, in the feeling of mercy , spared, and the anxiety to capture the Leaders did not admit of time being lost in securing worthless followers .

2. 226 of the Rebels were found dead on the field . The Brigadier states that Officers , Non- Commissioned Officers and men, as per mar- gin, rendered them. selves conspicuous by their forward gallantry and in his detail of the Force under his Command , the following Officers appear to have Com- manded detachments of Regiments in the engagement .

is stated to have been upwards of 2,500, but I think the number greatly exaggerated , and as our attack must have greatly dispersed and disorganised the body, I trust the means of the Chiefs to harass the country maybe considerably diminished.

Captain Heathcote, Seikh Horse, Commanding , and Assistant Quarter Master General to the Force.

The Force has marched upwards of 290 miles in 18days without a single day's halt .

Lieutenant Stevenson , Artillery , Camel Corps, Commanding.

The conduct ofthe Troops has been most admirable , and nothing can be more cominendable than the anxiety shown by Officers and Men to overtake the Enemy.

8. The Brigadier further begs to bring to special notice the excellence of the Commissariat arrange- ments made by Captain Lucas , an arrangement, which enabled the Brigadier to give every man and horse a full ration after this arduous pursuit . 4. I fully concur in this eulogy.

The enemy's entrenchments though slight were so situated on a high bank, commanding the ford of the River which is here not only deep and rapid , but upwards of 200 yards in breadth. that they could not have been taken from the front without a serious loss.

Froin the information which I have received I do not believe the enemy were numerous , but a great part of them wero Artillery men . Few were killed owingto their taking to the forest when the first was captured some were however overtaken . Our own casualties are almost nominal .

Captain Lambton's party consisted of sixty men of the 71st Regiment .

In this they nearly succeeded .

The conduct of Captain Lambton and his party evinced the utmost gallantry, and cannot fail to excite the most lively admiration in any person who views the formidable character of the work they attacked, although the origin of the conflict is to be regretted.

Letter from Brigadiar Genoral SirR. Napier, C. B. , Commanding the Gwalior Division , No. 64, of 31st January 1859, with enclosure .

Ithas produced a very great improvement on the bearing of the people of the Country, who send plies into Camp readily where they were before hardly procurable.

P. S.-The guns in the Fort were destroyod by General Michel's order, and the defences have been partially dismantled.

In transmitting for the consideration of the Right Hon'ble the Viceroy and Governor General in Council , copies of the documents noted in the margin, having reference to the attack of the Fort of Nahar- gurh, by a detachment under the of Captain F. Lambtond HerCapesty's 71st Highlanders, I am directed by the Commander- in-Chief to state that in His Excellency's opinion, the conduct of the party of the 71st Regiment cannot be sufficiently praised, as will be seen from the following Extract from a private letter addressed by Brigadier General Sir R. Napier to the Chief of the Staff:

"The news of the affair with Lambton's Detach- ment brought me down here as I reported to you .

" It is certainly marvellous to see the works attack- el by that small detachment .

"The indomitable pluck of Englishmen is the secret of all their success .

FROM CAPTAIN J. H. LAMBTON, Comdg. Det ..H. M's. 71st Highland Light Infantry , ΤΟ CAPTAIN Η . Ο . MAYNE, PoliticalAssistant in Gwalior . Dated Naharghur.

SIB,

" The small party, far from support , unacquainted with the strength of the Garrison and with the Coun- try, did not hesitate to attack a place of considerable strength, and had they had a good Putard, they would have taken it .

" The best shots in India : I believe, they went to work systematically and cleared the parapets ; through a chink in the strong gate they fired and cleared the gateway, and drove from two guns planted to com- mand the entrance, the Gunners who were ready to fire on them. They had previously assaulted and taken the two outer gates .

The place belongs to Kotah. The guns were all burst, and the Fort considerably dismantled.

" The Kotah Vakeel has come here and professes that the Killadar will be hanged when captured .

I HAVE the honor to inform you that when the detachment under my Command, strength as per margins arrived here yes- 2 Officers. 60 Men 71st H. L. I. 221 Gwalior Camel Corps. terday afternoon, I sent to the town for provisions ; they were refused, and the Kotwal threatened to shoot the first European that came into the town . An armed party under Command of a Subaltern was sent into the town to sieze them . They found the gates closed and matchlocks were fired at them . The remainder of the detachments then proceeded to reinforce the first party, the gates were forced in, and the outer part of the Fort taken with slight resistance. The inner part however we were unable to take owing to the great height of the walls , and there being only one gate which is strongly plated with iron.

" The Camp Followers had got into the Town which was entirely deserted, in spite of Guards and Sentries posted by Major Chetwode, but on my arrival hore by putting additional Guards and severely punishing offenders, I put a stop to it and the town is filling again."

Fxtract of a letter from Brigadier General Sir R.

We therefore retired , and attempted again to take it this morning. We were unable to blow it open, owing to the scarcity and courseness of the powder . The matchlooks and big guns. I understand that there during this time kept brisk fire with are two hundred mon , and nine or ten guns of different sizes in the Fort, the enemy were frequently sum- moned to surrender, but refused . I await further instructions

Your note of yesterday's date has this moment arrived.

I have written to stop the only force that I know was advancing to join us , namely, some Lancers , Royal Horse Artillery Guns, and Native Infantry that were detached from General Michel's Force , as provisions are so difficult to pro- curehere .

This part of the question is " sufficiently disposed of in your letter to the "Lieutenant-Governor ; but although it was impossible at once to place Mr. Toogood in a "situation equal to that which he occupied before "he proceeded on Furlough , your Government " have adopted a rule applicable to all Civil "Servants expressly ordered but from England at " the commencement of the mutinies , which which will " relieve Mr. Toogood from disadvantage in respect to present allowances .
