INDIA•1110ARD, Whi:TEHALL, APRIL 27. - . The following accounts hAve this day been recciv. ed from India : Copy of a Letter from Major of Brigade J. Menzies, to Oaptain Arm'lrons, Military Secretary to the Governor-General, dated Camp, three miles South Welt of Drz, Nov. 13, :Boa Sir—l am direaed by Major- eneral FltAZra, to acquaint you, for the information of his Excellency the Governor-General, that the army under his com mand arrived within three cots of the fart of Deeg yeflerday, and found the enemy very flrongly en camped, with their left extending to Deeg, and a lust jest of water extending to their right, and co venn the whole of their front. From the late hour at which the army encamped, and not having cor n 1 information of the enemy's pofition, the General thought it advifable to delay the attack until this morning. Having made his arrangements for the reeurity of his Camp, he marched with the t ft bri gade of infantry, under the Hon. Lieutenant-Colonel Morison; the sd under Lieutenant-Colonel G. S. BlOwria ; and the two regiments of native cavalry, under Lieutenant-Colonel T. &own ; and part of the park, under Lieutenant-Colonel Hoesrosto, at three o'clock this morning. We made a circuit to our left, round the jeel, to enable us to come on their right flank ; a little after day-break, we formed in two lines, attacked, and carried a large village which was on their right flank. The Major-General imme diately purfued his fuccefs, and marched down on their line, and took poffeffion of their guns and howitzers, which are now bringing into Camp. I regret to fay, that General FItALIR has been feverely wounded while at the head of the troops leading them into ac tion, and in confequence was obliged to be carried off the field. The Hon. Colonel Ivlonsoti then affumed the command, and atchieved what General FRAZEa to happily commenced. We drove the whole of the enemy under the fort of Deeg, when the people in the fort opened a very heavy fire on us. The number of guns is not yet afcertained, nor that of the killed and wounded, but our lofi has been fevere. Regular returns of the number of guns, and of the killed mad wounded, will be fent by the Hon. Colonel Morison to-morrow, who will likewife give a detailed account of the anion. Major-General Fitazia feels it impof fible to exprefs his high fenfe of obligation to the whole of the troops under his command. for their undaunted courage and gallantry, particularly to his Majelly's 76th regiment, who have on this occafion, as on every former one, done honour to themfelves and their country. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) J. Mammas, Major of Brigade. Copy of a Letter from Brigadier General Madam to his Excellen cy the Molt Noble Marquis Willi:Bey, dated Camp near Dag, November 14,1804. My Lord—However proud and happy I may feel in communicating to your Excellency Tome particu lars refpeaing the brilliant and decided viaory which, through the favour of Novinaaca, we have obtain ed over the whole of the infantry and guns of Jet worn Ran Holkar, commanded by his Chief Sirdar, Merriam Dada, at the fame time I cannot fufficient- I; lament the event which has made it fall to my lot, in confequence of Major General Frazer having received a fevere wound, which obliged him to quit rite field. I attribute our decided and glorious vie-' tory over the enemy entirely to the arrangements for the attack by Major General num, and to confidence and enthufiatin with which be in t ,:ired the whole army, heading his Majefty's 76th Regiment with the moll undaunted gallantry. Your Excellency has already beard from Major General Faasaa the particulars refpeaing the corn sisencement of the anion. After we had carried the village, we dcfcended the hill, and charged the enemy's advanced party under a molt tremendous difcbarge of round, grape an,' chain, from their guns, .which they abandoned as we came up to them, retiring to fie& batteries, the whole of which we carried for upwards of two miles, they flying before us in every direaion, numbers of them perifhing in the fwamp, which cncompalfes that angle of the fort of Deeg, and even in t h e d itc h o f the fort i t r e jf, b e ing purfued by us elok up to the very walls. After having carried the different ranges of guns which extended from the village on their right flank, to the South-Eafi angle of.the fort ; we re turned to attack a large body of the enemy, drawn up to the eaftward of the lower end of t h e 1:1ce, and who kept annoying us with a molt dedrudive fire ; from eightesn and twelve-pound ers , w hi c h, unt il now, we had no opportunity of difperfing ; thefe, however, were kept in check by Major HAMMOND, with the la Battalion, 2d Regiment, and three lis pounders, who maintained his pofition with the ut moft ileadinefs and gallantry. I ordered fome more fix-pounders to be brought up, and, under cover of their fire, I moved round upon the enemy's left flank, who, as we advanced, mad; a precipitate retreat into the lake, where numbers pet ifhed, amongft whom were, Mollunurnid Shah Khan and Adill Khan, two of the principal Sirdars of the Ally Goles. After this the enemy made no further oppofition, but en tirely quitted the field, flying in all diredions. Lieu tenant Colonel BROWN I, with the ad Regiment and 3d Regiment of Native Cavalry, and Galloppers, continued to watch the motions of a confidereble body of horfe during the aiftion, and afterwards moved down to the field of engagement, to proted the re moval of the captured guns, and our wounded, who were unavoidably left there. Lieutenant Colonel Batt. at the fame time moved down with the Id Bri gade to fupport the cavalry. I find it impoflible to exprefs my gratitude and t,blig a ti nn , f or t h e f uppor t I received from every Of ficer and foldier engaged. Were I allowed to offer my individual thanks, to Lieutenant Colonel Hoes. FORD, commanding the Artillery, and to Lieutenant Colonel BROW NI, commanding the 2d Brigade of in fantry, they are particularly due. From Brigade Major Menu's._ Captains FRASSI. I and M•cl•Ito or, the Offic ers o f Major General Fumes Staff, I received the molt adore affiffance, 1 for which I feel myfelf highly indebted. My fincere thanks art alto due to my Brigade Major, Captain Csaa, and to Enfign Bowleg, of the 12th Regiment Native Infantry, who aded as my Aid-de-Camp on the occafion. I fhould not be doing juffice to my feelings were I not to mention, in the moil pointed manner, the undaunted bravery and lleadinefs of his Majelly% 76th Regiment, which was never more conlpicuoufly difptayed than on this day. I have equal fatisfadion in mentioning the conduit of the t European Regiment, ender the command of Lieute nant Colonel ButtulT, who (hewed themfelves in every way worthy of the name of Britilh troops, "From the molt accurate accounts I can obtain, the enemy's force confifted of twenty four battalions, a conliderable body of horfe, and one hundred and fixty pieces of cannon, the greater part of which is alrea• dy brought to Camp. The enemy's lots, as far as 1 can afcertain, has been very great, and it is fuppofed near two thoufand.have been killed and drowned in their efforts to efcape. At the fame time, glorious as has been the refult of this day, I have to lament the death of many a gallant foldier. The remains of the enemy's army, which took lhelter in the fort of Deeg, are in the greateß con fternation, and are deferring in raft numbers. I have the honour to enclofe a general Return of Killed, Wounded, and Miffing, of the Corps engaged, and a Return of Ordnance, &c. captured and brought into camp; more guns are hourly difcovered.

My Lord—My report* of yefterday conveyed to your Lordlhip an account of my attack on the ene my's cavalry. I now think it my duty to point out the very meritorious conduit of the troops engaged on this occafion. Since I left Delhi on the 31ft ult. the troops have daily marched a diftance of twenty. three or twenty-four miles. During the day and night previous to the aitioo, they marched fifty-eight miles, and from the diftance to which they purilied the eqgmy, the !pace paired over before they had takeOlip their ground mull have exceeded feventy miles. The patience, perfeverance, and difcipline which they difplayed under filch uncommon fatigue, and the adivity, zeal, and refolution,vith which they at laft attacked the enemy, are circumftances which entitle them to my higheft praife and approbation.— I feel myfelf particularly indebted on this occafion to Colonel Macau, the commander of cavalry. The merits of this officer are to fully known to your ' LordArip, that I feel it unnecelary to fay more than that he manifelied the fame judgment, (pink, and zeal, which have fo often diftinguillied him. Lieutenant-Colonel VAN Inuit/a, who commanded the firft brigade of cavalry, brought his corps into adion with the utmoft rapidity, and difplayed the - gTeateit judgment and gallantry in his repeated and vigorous charges of the enemy. His Majelly's Bth Regiment of Dragoons, commanded by Captain Assitcaousia, and the a ft and 6th Regiments of Na tive Cavalry, the former commanded by Captain Wee, w, and the latter by Captain Swiwrow4chaiged through different bodies of the enemy's hot se, with the greatest refolution and effect. A frpall party of the Bth Dragoons totally deltroyed a confiderable body of Allygole Infantry, which formed part of the enemy's force. Lieutenant-Colonel Nato, who com manded the Second Brigade, is likewife entitled to my higheft praife and approbation. His Majefty's nth and ;9th Regiments of Light Dragoons, the farmer commanded by Captain Pores..., and the latter by Major WADS, and the 4th Regiment of Na tive Cavalry, commanded by Captain ELLIOTT. at tacked with the utmoft energy and effeft, the different bodies of the enemy to which they were oppofed.- 7 Lieutenant-Colonel Toone commanded the advanced guard, and deferves my gratitude arid approbation for the fpirit and activity which he difplayed in that Mu ation. I have great fatisfation in reporting to your I.orclibip the very meritorious conduit of Captain Bitowas, and the corps of Horfe Artillery under his command, who, by the rapidity of their movements, were enabled to do great exeentimt. Capt. Beard a's great attention in the management of his corps, and his zeal and adivity when called into adion, have on every occafion merited my belt acknowledgments. cannot conclude this difpatch without expreGng to your Lordihip the fatisfaition I have derived from:the good conduit of the Infantry, commanded by Lieu. tenant-Colonel Dos. Though not prefent in the af fair of yefterday, the zeal and patience with which they have supported the fatigues of fo arduous a march, deferve my, warmed thanks. Their eager nets in the petit would, there is nu doubt, have been equalled by their gallantry in the attack of the ene my, had they come up with them. I have not yet ascertained completely where the enemy have fled to, but all acconnts lead me to believe that they are kat• tered over the country, and no where collated in any confiderable numbers.
