Colonel Bnooke, the Commanding Officer of the 44th Regiment, stationed at Waterford, received, on Sunday, directions to send forward two Companies to Kilkenny. The rest of the Regiment will probably ' , march for that quarter of the country on or about the 24th of this month, and Kilkenny is likely to be their head-quarters. It is believed, that they are to be succeded in that district by the 27th Regiment. In consequence of the absence of Capt. COOKE, the command of the Cosford Troop devolved upon Lieut.

Untoward circumstances, chiefly imputable to in tentionally delusive intelligence, defeated the hope of making an impressive example of the Pindarries, when they were nearly surrounded by the divisions of Major-General Marshal, Major-General Donkin, stud Lieutenant-Colonel Adams, on the Kotah boun dary. I think, however, your Honourable Com mittee will be of opinion, that the direction given to the several columns was properly adapted to effect its object. As it is, we have nearly destroyed the association. Kurreem Khaun, and Vasil Mahomed, by deserting their families, and the great proportion of their troops, have escaped for the present with, at the utmost, three thousand of their best mounted followers. Numbers of these, whom they abandoned, have been cut off in detail, and many more will perish in that manner, while the baggage and women have fallen into our hands. The latter have expe rienced every humane treatment. Cheetoo, who had from the outset of their Hight taken a different course to the westward with his - Durrah, is at a short distance beyond the Chumbul, and, disappointed of reception by Meer Khan, appears perplexed how to act. I have reason to believe that his men have been daily quitting him to a large amount, from the hope lessness of their prospects.

MY LORD—In my dispatch to your Lordship of the 13th instant, from Ougein, I had the honour to report the junction, on the preceding day, of the third division, with that under my personal com mand, and the then uncertain state of our negocia tions with the Government of Malhar Rao Holkar. In my subsequent address to your Lordship of the 18th instant, from Pion Behar, I described the fur ther progress of these arrangements ; and, I now beg to refer you for all the details connected with the origin, progress, and ultimate failure of the over tures in question, to the correspondence of Brigadier- General Sir John Malcolm, your Lordship's political agent, at my head-quarters, which he has regularly maintained, since their commencement, with Mr. Secretary Adam, as also to his final report thereon, stating the termination of every prospect of amicable adjustment. Thus situated, there appeared no alter native left to me for the vindication of the honour of the British Government, and of your Lordship, than that which I determined upon, and which was in stantly followed up by the attack of Holkar's army in the position it occupied, and of which event I had the satisfaction of apprising your Lordship on the evening of the 21st instant, by a sew lines from the field of battle. On the 20th instant, I moved to within seven miles of the army of Mulhar Rao Holkar, in the hope that• this advance might alarm the counsellors of that Prince into more pacific measures, but in this expec tation I was disappointed, as my piquets were at tacked, in the course of the day, by a considerable' body of horse. I moved in consequence on the fol owing morning towards the enemy, and had ad •anced but a short distance, when my line of march was attacked by their horse. On approaching the main body of their army, I found it advantageously posted on the left bank of the Soopra, nearly oppo site to Maheidpore, their left flank protected by the bed of the river, and their right by a very deep ravine ; while their line, which could be approached only by one ford, practicable for guns, was protected by several ruined villages.. After reconnoitring their position, and finding that to turn either flank would require a long detour, and perceiving at the same time that the bed of the river afforded considerable cover for the troops during their formation, I determined to attack them in front, and ordered the advance of the columns to the ford, some light troops immediately passed, and were fol 'lowed by the horse artillery, which opened on their guns; another battery of the foot artillery played from the right bank of the river in a situation which enfiladed some cannon the enemy had placed upon the left, and which had opened a heavy and well Passed by Falmouth, on the 6th inst. the Ameri- directed fire upon the ford.

I ern not particularize corps, nor make distinctions, when merit and gallantry were sa general every man did his duty; and the whole are entitled to thy warmest thanks• and highest appladse. The conduct of the Mysore horse during the actioh, and in the pursuit also, merited my thanks; and was in every way such as to raise the character of this useful body of alai& aries. I have deeply td lament my inability tb place your Lordship Hi possession of the above details, without having,- at the same time, the painful tritic to perform of reporting the heavy loss with which our success has been attended. The return of killed and wounded which accompanies this dispatch, v.lll prove to your Lordship a source of the sincerest lea gret, at the same time that the achievements of the brave men who hive fallen must ever furnish a theme of exultation to the grateful Country and Govern meat in whose service their lives have been so glori ously terminated. I trust, in the course of to-marrow, that the whole of our wcanded will be well accommodated in the town of Maheidpoor, where they will continue to•re ceive all the attention which is to be expected from the professional abilities and indefatigable zeal ce Mr. Superintending Surgeon Annesley assistants. Although the conduct of every Officer of the army merits the highest commendation. I gladly seize this opportunity of bringing to your Lordship's notice those who were prominent from their rank and sham. tions, and from the superior duties they had to per. form. Your Lordship is too well aware of the high professional character and abilities of Brigadier-Ge neral Sir J. Malcolm, to render it necessary for me to dwell upon them ; I shall therefore merely express my admiration of the style of distinguished conduct and gallantry with which the assault on the left of the enemy's position was headed by the Brigadier. General, and my warmest thanks for the p a red, and essential aid I have derived from his counses, as well previous to, as during the action of the 21st instant. To Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Scot, who command ded the first, and Lieut.•Colunel Andrew M.Dowell, commanding the second brigade of infantry, to Ma jor Bowen, commanding the light brigade, as also to Major Knowles, who commanded it after the former Officer was wounded, I Leg to express my sincerest thanks and acknowledgments for the gallantry and conduct they severally displayed in leading their inert to the assault, under the tremendous fire to which they were exposed ; nor can I sufficiently marl; the sense I entertain of the zeal and intrepidity of L;cut. , Col. J. Russell and Major Lushington, in the brilliant charge which was made by the two brigades of ca valry under their respective or tiers. The dispositions.and arrangements of the several brigades of horse and root artillery, and the destine. tive effect which was thereby produced on the enemy's line, afford sufficient proof that the command of that corps could not have been played in better hands than those of Major Noble, C.B.—The services of Lieu tenant-Colonel Conway, Adjutant-General of-the Army, throughout the day, were in the highest de. gree conspicuous, and amply fulfilled every expecta• non which I had formed of the great advantages I.:should derive from his professional knowledge, e x . perience, and exertions, on the day of action. To Lieutenant- Colonel Blacker, Quarter-Master. General of the Army, I feel it also particularly ina .cumbent on me to express my best thanks fur the great aid I have received from him, not only thrwagh his personal exertions on the field of battle, but for the judicious reconnoissances made by him dining our march, and before we engaged, by which I ob tained the clearest information respecting the ford at which I subsequently crossed the Soopra ; and the nature of the ground occupied by the enemy, by which I was enabled to make my dispositions for at tacking them. To Lieutenant-Colonel Morrison, Commissary-Ge neral, I am also in a similar manner to acknowledge the high sense I entertain of his merits, in conduct ing the important department of which he is, with so much advantage to the public service, placed at the head, as also his assistance to me during the ac tion. I feel myself likewise called upon to offer my sincere thanks to Major Van Agnew, who, by your Lordship's permission, continues, for the present un der Sir John Malcolm, to act in the political depart ment, and who remained with me throughout the day, rendering me the greatest assistance. Lieutenant-Colonel *Gregor Murray, and Lieute nant-Colonel the Hon. L. Stanhope, Deputy-Adju tant and Deputy Quarter-Master-General to his Ma jesty's troops, I had previously requested to become attached to my person, in the event, at any time, of our coming to action, as the very limited number of the King's troops immediately with me, required no performance on such an occasion of their official functions. I have, therefore, in a particular manner to thank them for their cheerful acquiescence to my request, as well as for the services they rendered me in the course of the day. Lieutenant-Colonel Mur ray accompanied, with my pet mission, the flank com panies of his Majesty's Royal Scots, when the guns of the enemy were stormed. I beg leave also to return my best thanks to Caß tain James Grant, who commanded the Mysore Horse, and to Captain Hare, commanding the regular in fantry of his Highness the Nizani, for their gallant exertions on this occasion. I desire also to offer my sincere acknowledgments to the whole of the Officers of the General and Divi sional Staff, who were engaged on this day, for their meritorious conductin their several situations. • Justice also calls upon me to express my hid hest approbation and acknowledgments tor the energy and promptitude of every Officer comprising my personal Staff, in conveying my orders throng' the day ; at the same tinv! 1 beg to ricLticm to (1' 4 I, ~ 11 • f • • 4 ► ,t 4 i I , ;hoot . }Tar ! . 11 .
