THE WAR IN TRAVANCORIL APRIL B.—The fortunate result of the late mili tary operations in Travancore, has at length been communicated to the public through the medium of the Madras prints. We are not at present prepared to enter into a full or particular history of the origin of the disturbances in that country. They were prin cipally or solely excited by the ambition and turbu lence of the Dewan, and were attended in their com mencement with circumstances of great treachery and cruelty. The facti n which that Minister had the address to attach to his person and cause, was much more formidable, in point of numb‘rs, than circum stances would have led us to expect. It has been even rated so high as 50,000 Nairs, upon very credi ble authority, and beyond doubt it was exceedingly great. The major portion, indeed, were armed only with bows and arrows; but the characteristic courage, hardihood, and enterprise of the tribe, made up in some degree, for the inferiority of their weapons, and ren (let csi them far from contemptible foes. In course of the month of January, three several attacks were made by the Dewan's army, on the Bri tish subsidiary force at Quilon, amounting to nearly 5,000 men, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Chalmers. On the 19th of the same month, an attempt was also made on Major Hewitt's detachment at Cochin. In each of these affairs the enemy was power. tul in numbers, and displayocrconsidei able boldness and perseverance. The skill and intrepidity, how ver, of our Officers and men, uniformly triumphed, and he was driven from the field with a heavy slaugh ter. On our part, success vas happily purchased with hardly any bloodshed. At length the army appointed to penetrate into the Travanc, re country, under the command of Lient , 2- , nant-Colonel St. Leger, commenced its operations, nd the celebrated lines of Arumbooly were carried by storm on the 10. h of February. On this exploit, which, for boldness of conception, and resolution of coiduct, is rivalled by few achievements in the mi lit try history of India, we have much pleasure in laying before our readers the following details: The army took up their position on the frontier early in February, and were engaged for several sut cessive days in reconnoitering the formidable defences upon which the enemy rested his security. At length a practicable point was fortunately discovered in the works upon the South Hill Those works enfilade ' the whole line of defence in one direction, while the redoubt, on the North Hill, commands it on the other side. Behind the battery, on the southern eminence, some old walls were perceived, which, to all appear ance, the enemy had abandoned. The ascent, in that ' quarter, was of no great difficulty—but a deep and impervious jungle, which skirted the foot of the moun- ' tain, presented an obstacle to the approach of troops, of a nature sufficiently discouraging. After mature deliberation, however, it was determined to attempt this part of the wall by surprise ; a plan of assault was arranged and adopted, and every necessary pre caution taken to insure its success. On the rfght of the 10th of February, a storming party was accordingly formed, under the command of Major Welsh, and marched out of camp to the left, by a road 'leading to the southward, which the pioneers had previously prepared. The party was composed of two companies, and the piquet of his Majesty's 69th regiment, amounting, in ali, to 150 Europeans, under Captain Syms, besides seven vo lunteer artillerymen ; the two flank companies of the Ist battalion of the 2d Naive Infantry, command ed by Captain Pepper • and the two flank and five battalion companies of ? the 2d battalion of the same regiment, untier Capt. Lucas. Besides these troops, three companies of each of the battalions, together with the native piquet, and two field-pieces, were di rected by Major Welsh to remain behind at the ad vanced post, under charge of Captain Stephenson.— Major Welsh himself headed the stormers, who, with a party of 150 pioneers, under Lieutenant Bertram, carrying four short scaling-ladders, and a large sup ply of ammunition, set out by the appointed route about eight p. m. They proceeded without obstruc tion, until they reached the borders of the wood at the foot of the hill, where they formed up, and halted for about half an hour, in order that the blue lights, which, to,guard against surprise, the enemy, accord ing to their custom, had kiadlia all along their lines, mightqrave time to expire. That interval living elapikt, tliey-, stated a o gain a and entered the jungle.. Here betdai the arduous p%lrt of the enterprise. The troops found thethielvee dto ivi the midst of as cloie ind impracticable i 2 t 141 . i 114 toio s Ni. . 1 ' ' by than, thmsuth witiCh thif ' t4irive " .." .. w4; : ...

Having Frrotacded in this matinee for several lwurs and seressoutved many difficultiess. with great lals6l;eEnd anxiitte-4 Major ;Welsh all et We dis covered, that the' greater pelt_ of his temps wete missing, and that, he . was left with only the forloris hope, Lieutenant Bertram; his bugle, aril about fakir of his pioneers in company. The men whistled, but received no answer. Their comrades had taken au°• titer route, and were now at too great a distance to hear them. Major Welsh ordered his small party to halt, and waited for the space of about a quarter of an hour ; when Odin that all further deluy would be vain, and being now within a short distance of the works, he resolved to proceed. The brave forloen hope assured him of their determination to stand by him to the last. He directed them to fix their bayo nets, and to carry every thing without firing a shot. Having at length reached the walls, they crept under them in silence. And here another difficulty arose. It was found that in consequence of the-separation of the main body, they were left without ladders.—No. thine remained but to attempt to scale the wall, by ;mounting on each others' shoulders. This was at length happily effected, though with much labour and difficulty. Two Europeans having gained the sum ' mit, assisted in dragging up Major Welch, and the rest of the party, in succession. It was now four o'clock in the morning, and, after hours of incessant labour, the men sat themselves down in anxious sas. pence, to wait the arrival of their comrades. Their anxiety was presently relieved by a loud peal of mass quetry from the lower part of the hill, about 200 yards to the right of their position. This proceeded from the main body, who having reached the walls by a different route, had scaled them in silence, with their ladders, and immediately opened their fire, which wit answered by the guns and blue lights of the enemy. Major Welsh seeing the fire comreeace at . 4 point pee far down the hill, was at firtt apprehensive that the troops had been discovered before they could get with. in the walls. There was no time, however, fur hesi tation. He ordered the bugle to be sounded, and this small party, with three shouts, which were answered from one end of the hill to the other, pushed on va pidly to the summit. Here the gallant Major Welsh, exhausted by fatigue, and by the falls which he had received in scrambling over the rocks, was deprived, for a time, of the use of his limbs, and, repeatedly fainting away, was carried into the action by some of the light company of the Ist battalion, who joints him from below. When the day broke, our troops found the whole hill in their possession. The colours of the 4d bat talion were hoisted on a conspicuous rock, and the guns of the redoubt were turned upon the main loos, which they completely commanded, as far as the gate. Meanwhile, Colonel St. Leger dispatched a reinforcement, consisting of one company of the 69th, and three of the 13th Native Infantry, uncter Capt. Hodgson, who forced their way, by the same difficult route, to Major Welsh's assistance. Seeing this party, as well as all the rest of the force within the walls, coming up rapidly to his support, Major Welsh immediately sent a detachment down the rode, who dashes into the lines, attacked those of the ene my, who still stood to their guns, and put them com . pletely to the route. The panic spread to the men in the north redoubt, who also fled in the utmost costfe sien and dismay, and left us (about the hour ofeight in the morning) in full possession of the whole works. Thus fell, by a a successful coup-de-main, the fortnida. ble lines of Travancore—the extent of Which is so great, that a garrison of 10,000 soldiers is requisite to man them. The loss of the enemy, in killed and wounded, was severe. We have also to regret the death of Captain Cunningham, and of other gallant soldiers ; but, when compared with the object atchiev ed, our loss was inconsiderable. By nine o'clock, not a man of the enemy's was to be seen from the heights ; and Colonel St. Leger pitched his camp two miles within the Arumbooly gate. Many valuable pieces of ordnance were found on the works; and an abundant supply of guns, muskets, pikes, ammuni tion, and stores of every description, in the arsenal. When the last advices came away, the troops went busily employed in blowing up the lines, and bursting the iron cannon. Such of the ordnance as were va luable, would of course be preserved. We have the pleasure to subjoin the complimentary Orders pub. lished by Colonel St. Leger, after the storm. " GENERAL ORDERS. " ST TIM RON. LIEUTZNANT-COXON&L A.
