I have now to Owe to you, for the information of his Excellency the Governor General, that having been obliged, in ernflinq the Ganges, to unload the whale of the ar tillery ammunition, and dillribute it among the ca valry to pali, I halted this day for the purpofe of air ing the tumbrils, and to recruit the horfes and cattle. I move again at one to-morrow morning in pur -1 fuit of Meer Khan, who ismarching on to Rampoor, and is laid to have made an attack on Moradabad th: s mining before daybreak, but was repulled.— The celerity of his movements (having neither tents, baggage, nor guns), and the early and correa infor mation he has of all mine, has hitherto precluded the pollibility of overtaking him, and he is too much on his guard to admit of a furprile. I (hall, however., be unremitted in my purfuit, and have taken every fiep pollible to enable me to continue it. To Captain J. Au WIRDNG. Camp, Anerva, Feb. i 7, acs, 6 P.

I will match again at one A. M. to . mnrrow for Moradabad. Meer Khan is generally fuppofed to intend to direct his route towards Rampoor.

Meer Khan quitted Noradaha4 at three o'clock this morning. It is re ported that he intended to have halted here this day, and that he fled on hearing that of the approach of General Smith. He has done no injury to the gene- raliry of ;he inhabitants of the town of Moradabad; he has barrio the houfes of the Officers of the- Stu , till, and the lines of the provincial battalion.- The bottle of Mr. Leycefler, the collector, has been fortis fled, and was defended by the civil officers of the flit. lion, and a detachment of the provincial battalion under the command of Lieut. Wilkinfon, againft every attempt of the troops of Meer Khan to obtain polreflion of it. The detachment will march at one A. M. in purfuit of the enemy,' who is fuppored to have taken the Road to Bareilly, and will perhaps be ; at Rampoor this night. Rampoor is laid to be about two miles removed from the high toad to Bareilly. General Smith will continue to• purfue the enemy clofely, and will not allow him leifure to do any , confidelahle ntifchiel. Hitherto he has done but little.

By the intelli gence which General Smith has received, Meer Khan ha; not proceeded far to the Southward of Roder poor ; but has with his fcrambling troops got into a country, which is almoft impenetrable to this army. The detachment met with conliderable obftacles from the nature of the ground in the march of this day ; under thefe circumflances, it is probable that Major General Smith may not think it advilable to continue the purfuit of Meer Khan into the difficult country, under the hills. In that cafe, General Smith will occupy a pofitiun by which he will be enabled to cover Bat illy, Moradabad, and Pillipect, to maintain a fit ia watch upon the condua of fuch as may be dif tatisfied in Rohilcund, and to continue the putrlnit of Meer Khan as (son as he quits the (stumpy inter. feaed country in which he at prefent is ; it is the in. tention of General Smith to take the carließ oppor tunity of refuming the purfuit of the freebooters ; and of defiroyiag them, or driving them beyond the boundaries of the Britifh dominions.

From every information which has been received. there is reafon to believe that it is the intention of Meer Kit . an to rectors the Ganges. Whatever vie* he might originally have formed of exciting a general ierurrthion among the kohillas, appear to bave been completely difappointed. The pretence of this de• tachrocnt in Rohilcund has checked the fpirit 'of re volt where it may have exiled, and has encouraged all thofe who are well affeaed to the Britifh Govern ment. Meer Khan, from every thing which has fal len within General Smith's knowledge, is defpifed by All the Rohillaa Of rank and charader, as a man of low birth, as a ireeboottv, and as a fugitive. The ralll fyllcrn cf . the Britith Government, and the et teem, attachment, and reverence with which thetha ratter of Mr. Satan is regarded by all the natives of !bele povinacs, have contributed, iii an eminent de gree, to the prefc. ... ation of tranquillity.

The baggage of this detachment was ordered to remain at bag gage under the proteaion of the rear guard, And of the third regiment of native cavalry ; and General Smith, with the ante tegiments of his Ma. jetty's light dragoons, and the tft and 6th native ca valry, and the boric artillery, and Mr. Skinner's ir regular horfe, moved on to the fpot where the ene my were reported to be encamped, and arrived there after a march of twelve eels at two 1 1 .

I baste now the honour to detail for your Lordthip's infor mation the plans that were formed to estfure, , if poi iible, the fuccefs oft:le attempt. , . . . The florming parl', under the orders of X.iente• nant Odom' Don, .was famed of the greater part of the European force belonging to the Bengal army, and three battalions at Sepoys. One columncompored of 2co of his Attjeay's $6 h regiment, from the Bum, bay divilion, and the tit battalton Bth regiment Ben, g 41 native infatary, under Captain Grant, of the for mer, corps, was erdered to attack the enemy's ti cliches and guns nutfide of the town, whiff' a third column, compoted of Once hundred men of his Ma jesty's 65th regiment, and two battalions of Bombay Sepeys, marched to attack the Beem Narain Gate, which, from every report I had received, was eafy of al: CIS for,gpns, etc. The fignal for the Ilorming party to mo a out was the commencement of Cap tain Grant's attack on the enemy's trenches, which took place a iittle before four o'clock in the after stoop. . Captain Grant's column was completely fuc- Waal, and got immediate puirdfion of the galls; eleven in tuntber, all of which have been' brought into camp. .The gallant conchal of Cap. tain Grant and his party merits every praife. lam lorry to fay that neither of the other columns fisc cceded. Lieutenant Color:el Dan's was unfortu nately delayed by frame unexpeeed eircumflances, and on it: arrival at the ditFh it was found to c , ntain filch a depth of water as to Hinder it imppffible to gain the breach. The troops immediately attempted to afcend by the bathtub, but the obflacles they met with were of fo ferious a natore, that their utmoft efforts were unfuccefsful; though the coloors of the tzth native infantry were planted within a fhort dir: ranee of the top. The column from the Bombay di vifion, under Lieutenant Colonel Taylor, notwitk (landing every exertion, could not effett their obj Cit. They were eonfiderably delayed on their march by g large body of the enemy's bode ; and, by a migfike on the part of their guide, were very early expofed to a moft heavy and deltruitive fire "froni the 'town, which, by deftroying their ladders, rendered the at: tempt on the gate impratticable. and obliged Lieu tenant Colonel Taylor to draw his assn under cover, until he received orders to return to tamp. I feel it my duty to affitre your Lordfhip, that though unfort'inately not crowned with freed's, the ear ti;ins of Colonel Don were nieritori rus and gallant in the extreme, and I feel under infinite 'obligations to this officer.

My Lord.—My difpatch of yetterday's date will have conveyed to your LOrdfilip intelligence of our, want of fuccefs in a fourth attempt made to carry this place by afrault. As it appeared that our failure on the aoth was to be accounted for. 'in a great mea• lure, by the occurrence of unexpeeled accidents and delays; as part of the corps who formed the forming party had furmounted the principal difficulty, and had nearly gained the Commit of the baltion where I was informed a few hours more battering would reit der the afceat perfectly eafy, I determined to make another attempt yefterday.. 'lle party for this fer vicy confuted of the whole European force, and - two battalions of the Native Infantry of the Bengal army, and the greatir part. Of his Welles 65th and 'B6th regiments, and tire grenadier battalion -land 'Sank companies of the t a battalion, 3d regiment,from the Bombay divifion. The whole moved on to the at tack about three o'clock in the afternoon, undOr the command of 'the Hon. Brigadier Monfon. The troops, molt confident of fucceh, cntnmenced the attack, and perreitred in' it for a confderable length of time, with the molt determined bravery; bnt their utmoft exertiorts weti'not fgfficient to enable them to gain the top of the breach. 'The baftion which was the point of attack was - extremely Iteep, the refi fiance op fed to them tvaii vigornus,and as our men could only mount by 'Mall parties at a time, the advan tages were very great' on the fide of •the enemy. —Difcharges of grape, log s s'pf wood s and pots fit led with combuftibile materials, immediately knock. ed down thofe who were arcending,'and the 'whole party, after being engaged in an obtlir.ateconteft fOr two hours, and coffering very frverelnfs, were obli ged to relinquifh the attempt, and retire to our trenches. I have to lament the lois of very man, gallant Officers and men, as will appear to your Lordihip by the accompanying return of killed and wounded on this occafion. It is with fincere grief I inform your Lordflaip, that among the killed i t my Aid,e-de-Camp, Major Menzies, of his Majeftyti toth'ltegiment, who proceeded with the Itorming party, and tell, whillis among the formla, he was making the molt heroic exertions to afccnd the breach. I feel lincere furrow for his lots, no lefs on account of the great regard I entertained for his private worth, than from the high eflimatinn in which I held his merits a 3 an Officer. The Hon. Colonel Mouton, to whoni the conduit of the attack was entrufted, made every pc,:fible exer tion, and has received my belt thanks for his uncom mon gallantry and perleverance on that occalion. Though the troops were unable to died their ohjed, 1 am happy to Willie your Lordthip that they have on no occafion difplayed greater fteadinefs. Thofe of the Bengal Army fupported their former character, and the Bombay Dion difplayed a degree of ref°. lution and difcipline, which entitles them to my higheft praife and apprnbation.

Atter a march of fourteen cofs we came in fight the enemy it two P. M. They were drawn up in order of battle, and prepared to receive us. The detachment having forded a river in the face of the, enemy, were ftirmed into two lines. The advanced guard under the command of Captain Philpor; was, intended for:the protection of - the right, and the irre gular horfe under Mr. Skinner, fur the protection of the left flanks. As our army altranced, the enetni advanced alto: Two tiodies of cavalry, one led by Meer Khan, and the other by Shuhamut Khan, at tempted to penetrate our Banks, but' were repulfect with lots; A body of Alee•Gholes moved on in a very. daring 'manner upon our line ; they were charged by a fquadroil of his Majetly's Bth Light Dragoons, and a fquadron of his Majelty's 27th Light Dragoons, and were completely deftroyed. After the deitruCtion of the infantry, the cavalry of the enemy fled in every direction. They were plaited beyond the town of Ufzulghur. The enemy's baggage had been fen* off in the morning, when fiat they received intelli gence of our approach ; their flight was therefore unincumbered, and the fatigue which our bodes had fullained, the late hunt of the day, and the na ture of the country, prevented a farther . purruit. —Above thirty of the enemy's colours felt inter nut hands, among the number are two golden standards, which were carried by the Yekus, a body of chofeti men attached to the peifon of Meer Khan. Three of Meer Nhan's principal lirdars, Muhumed Sauzed Khan, Juinther Khan, and Moortuza Khan, were killed ; his brother, Shuhamot Chan, and Ruhmut Khan, one of his principal &dims, are (Lotted to have been wounded; Ghobsm Ulee Khan, a principal firdar, was wounded, and is now in our camp ; Wet Khan himlelt efcaped, but the belt and brava of his troops (offered.
