My Lord—Your Lorcahip will have already been informed of the fuccefs of as *fault made by the detachment from the army under Lieutenant Colonel Dow on the fort of Rampoora, the t6th inftant. I have the honour. for your Lordfbip's information. to tranfmit Lieutenant Colonel Dow's detailed report to that effe& It is necetfary for me to call your Lordfhip's at tention to the fpirited and judicious conduit of Lieut. Colonel Don in planning and leading the afrault, and the truly meritorious and gallant conduit manifeßed by the whole of the officers and men of the detach ment in carrying the fort. This fervice has been performed in the molt exem plary Ryle, and races the highelt honour on the troops engaged, both cavalry and infantry, who be haved in the mat Ready and gallant manner. The high Cede • I entertain of their conduit, I have endeavoured to exprefs in my orders of this date, and particularly that of the sd Battalion, st R Regiment, a young corps, embodied but a few months, and who could only have bees brought to their prefent advanced Rate of difeipline by the on :emitted exertions of their Commanding Officer, Ma jor Wane. In offering your Lordihip my cordial congratula tions on the acquifition of this important fortrefs, which puts us in ifbffeffion of the whole of the ter ritories of jefwunt Rao Holkar, on this fide of In dia, I cannot conclude without recommending Lieutenant Colonel Don to your Lordfhip's favour able notice, to whofe fervices I feel myfeli infinitely indebted. Lieutenant Colonel Dow (peaks in high terms of the fervice he derived from the Artillery, under the orders of Capt. RAM and Lieut. Hari the meri tnrious conchs& of this corps, on all occafions, I have frequently bad the honour to notice to your Lord thip ; in this initance their condua appears to have been eminently confpicuous for gallantry and fix ceftful exertion, and particularly in the perfon of Sctjeant 041,m/oaten, who had charge of the ta• pounder that forced the gates, and evinced, in that fituatinn, the true charaaer of a Britiffi foldier, and will, I troll, meet your Excellency's approbation and proteaion. The sd Regiment of Native Cavalry, under the Command of Major DOVITON, on this occafion, fup ported that high charaaer for ileadinefs and bravery. which they have had frequent opportunities of ac quiring and confirming in various inilances wliere they have been engaged. The benefit derived to the fervice from the advice he received from Captain WOOD, of the Engineers, Lieutenant Colonel Dor acknowledges with grati tude. 1 have, in various inflames, during the cam paign, bad opportunities of remarking the zealous exertions, ability, and aaivity, of that Officer on every occafion, and I derive infinite fatisfaaion from having it again in my power to bear teliimony to his merit. I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordfltip's ma faithful and humble fervent, (Signed) o. Lax s. Head-quarters, Camp. Jcilai, May at, 1344. To Lieutenant Colonel G , Adjutant General. Sir—Yefterday I did myfelf the plrafure of com municating to you, for the information of his Excel lency the Commander in Chief. that I bad carried into execution the plan of attack which.l had formed for the reduflion of Rampoora, and that it had foe eeeded b. y,nd my expeBations, in fo far that my lots is infiuitely lets than what I feared it might have been. It gives me infinite fatisfaftion to (late, that not one of my Officers employed on the affault has been wounded ; and, confidering the nature of the fervice, much as I regret my lots of natives, yet I do think it lets than what might have been looked for. This I principally attribute to the attack commencing fome what before day-break, when the enemy could not difcriminate the Officers, and indeed could hardly diftinguillt my column, at the tame time that it was fafficiently light for my purp4.fe. Inftead oftaking up a pofition on the fide of the fort towards which the principal entrance is fituated, as I at firll intended, I continued to occupy my ori. ginal ground of encampment, as the garrifon might have been induced to barricade the gateways, which I had determined to attack, by my moving in that • direlion. And, yefterday morning, at two o'clock, I marched with the flank companies, and four bat talion companies of the sd battalion Bth, and the flank companies of the sd battalion 21a regiments, which, with one 12-pounder at the head of the co lumn for blowing open the gates, and another in the rear, to keep in check any of the battalions that came from Tonk, and which were moftly potted outfide tl.c fort, formed the affaulting party. Capt. Rasa' v,i;tl one ta and four 6-pounders, and three batta- Lompanies of the ad battalion, rill regiment, st:lowed i.i the rear of the party, to within a certain cliaance of the fort, and wok poft in a fit nation pro per to enable him to fire upon any part of the woiks, from which the enemy might appear to annoy us. Another great inducement that I had, to occupy a pofition oppofite to the grand gateway, and there. by alarming the enemy, was to move down in Once at once to the fort, and cut off the means of com munication betwixt it and the Tonk battalion, pofled at tome little diftance to the right of the fiat gate. Confident that I would fucceed in this part of my plan, my inftrations to Major DovaTos were cal culated accordingly. His regiment was left in camp, ready to mount as loon as he heard the attack eom- mem. and to move down In that &realms, which the fugitives would neeelfarily be obliged to take, and which 1 had pointed oat to him the preceding evening. I moved with the detachment undifcovered, until I. arrived within sso or goo yards of the gateway, when a piquet of the Tonk Battalion on my right fired upon ns ; but, as it did not immediately alarm the garrifon, I continued moving on without tainkg the fmalleß notice of them. After having advanced to within too or tan yards of the patsy, the garrifon commenced a (*mart fire front the ramparts, and, at the fame time, I perceiv ed a number of the battalion running along the top of the glacis, endeavouring to gain the gateway, up on whom I opened a heavy fire of nuditetry, and de. feated their purple, as well on the men who occupied the rampart. I pr oceeded on to the firli gate, and ble -11 , it open, continuing my fire of mullte• try on the works, and diflodging the people who oc cupied them. The fecond gate was not (hut, being out of repair. The third and fourth gates were alto blown open, when I entered the town, and, having ordered par. ties to fecure the ramparts, I ponied on to a fmall gateway on the fouth fide of the fort, through which the enemy were making their efcape, and, on gaining the ramparts, I kept up a fire upon the fugitives, driving them from the ditch, and forcing them to the Plains where I law Major Dora TON attacking them in all quarters. The Nudjeeb battalion fled in the direeion I ex petted, and met with the fame reception as their brother fugitives from the fort, from the sd regiment of cavalry. Enclofed I have the honour to tranfmit, for the purpofe of being laid before his Excellency the Com mander in Chief, a return of the killed and wounded of that part of the detachment employed yellerday morning. From this, his Excellency will perceive, that the lots of men and bodes in the cavalry has been confiderable, from the very obtlinate refinance of the enemy, who perfifted in refuting quarter, on condition of laying down their arms. I have alto the honour to enclofe a return of the guns found in the fort ; and Captain Rama being now employed in examining a magazine, containing a confideriitble quantity of gun powder, (hot, &c, as loon 4s that is completed, a return of them &all be immediately for warded. From every information I have received, the ene my's Rrength was from moo to t too fighting men. Of thefe there were from 4o to so killed, and many wounded on the works in palling through the gate ways, and in the town, during my approach, and on my arrival on the fouthern fide. Major Dovarotes report of thofe killed and wounded by the 3d regiment of cavalry Rates them to be 350 to 400._ . On jetting • poffeffion of Rampoora, I found the ramparts to be much thicker than Rated in a former letter. In fome parts they are forty feet thick, and none left than eighteen or twenty. Lieutenant SMITH having been dirated to make a (ketch of the fort, and to take rations in different place., I !ball add nothing . more on that fubjea, ex cept that Capt.Woon has given directions for the re pairs of the gates, and for fome other little alterations to be done by his own people. &fides the military Bores, there are a very quantity of grain, and a few bullocks of public property, in the fort. Thefe I have ordered to be fecured ; and I have likewife done every thing in my power for the proteaion of the inhabitants, with whole houfes the fort is full.— For fnme time they were exceedingly alarmed; but I am happy to obferve. this morning, a confiderable degree of confidence, and which it will be my duty to augment. Having thus detailed the whole of my proceed ing., for the information of his Excellency the Com mander in Chief. I now come to what I confider not only as a part of my duty, but to me a very pleafmg one indeed, and that is, to acquaint you, that the cuudua and behaviour of every individual employed ycilerday morning, were fuch as to merit m molt hearty approbation and thanks. Nothing cou ld pof fibly have furpaffed it. and in that light I beg you will reprefent it to the Commander in Chief. I feel rayfelf, in a particular manner, indebted to Captain Resew, of the artillery, and CaptainWoon of the engineers, for their ready co-operation and ad vice, during the whole of the fervice. Lieutenant Hay. of the artillery, is fully entitled to my notice, fov the effeaual manner in which he direaed the fire of the t 2-pounders in the rear of the column; as like. wife is my Adjutant, Lieutenant Massy. for his ati vity in conveying my orders. To the whole of the commiffioned, non-commiffioned officers and privates. Europeans and natives, belonging to the ordnance department, my belt thanks are molt fully due. 1 beg you will likewife Rate to his Excellency, that the precition, gallantry, and aaivity, with which my iuftruitions to Major Dovarow were carried into effe.fl by the 3d Regiment of Cavalry, raft% the higheft credit on the whole of this valuable corps-- r the only thing I have to lament, is the heavy lofs they have fultained. The European Cemmiffioned Officers of the Na tive Infantry, from the able manner in which they commanded their refpeaive divifions, were not lets entitled to my warmeft encomiums than the Native Commiffioned, Non-commiffioned Officers, and pri. vates are, for their attention and implicit obedience obferved by them throughout the whole of the at tack. In there terms I beg leave to reprefent the behaviour of the companies of the Bth and asth Re giments, and, you may confidently affirm Mil Ex cellency, that no troops whatever would have be haved better in a (insular (striation. I have only further to add, that nothing could be better managed, or more gallantly performed, than the blowing open the gates of Rampoora, by Ser. jeant CPLAOOI4 Lan. and the parry of European Ar tillery attached to the leading is-pounder. I have the honour to be, Sir, your snoft obedient humble fervant, (Signed) P. now, Lieut-Col. eontmandioir a Detachment Camp Rampoora, May i 7, Ilk* from the Grand Amy.

I was defirous, as far as lay in my power, to render philanthropic and magnanimous ideas the prevalent ones of the prefent age. It belongs to me, in whom there fend meats cannot be aferibed to weaknefs ; it belongs to us, to the bell natured, the monenlightened, and mat benevolent people, to remind the nations of Lurope, that they make together but one family, and thzt every undertaking which they execute in their civil divifions militates again& the general welfare.

Marlhal Baum', previous to his departure, is faid to have de. livered a copy of the note communicated by M. Tat- LItYIAND to Halet Effendi, the Ambaffador of the Porte at Paris. This note erpreffes much afionith ment that the Porte had refilled to acknowledge the Emperor Narotsom, confidering that France had been from time immemorial the faithful friend and ally of the Ottoman Emperor. The caufes which have occafioned this refufal are fubfequently detail. ed. It is alerted that a faition ezifts in the Turkifh Government, the views and condua of which were dirsaly in oppofition to the intereas of the Porte ; that this facition had conflantly evaded all the advan tageous propofals which had been made on the part of France, and that it had endeavoured to form an intimate connexion between the Porte and a certain Power.
