My friend Captain Tucker, an officer worthy of their Lordship? best attentions, was severely wounded at the commencement of the ac tion, but r. mained on deck till it terminated, using every exerlion against the baffling winds and occa _siorial calms which folloze , d the heavy fitiog, to close near the enumy ; he informs me that his officers and crew, i.t whose loyalty, zeal, and discipline; I en tertain the highest opinion, conducted themselves to his satisfaction. • I have to lament the death of four 'of my brave Campanions, and one of his; with real sorrow I add, that my First Lieutenant, Ingrain, is among the number; he fell early, is a great 'loss to his Majesty's serv:c.• ; the many manly tears which I observed th:s m• ruing, while performing. the last mournful duty et his funeral on shore, more fully evinced the respect and affection of h:s aflcted companions than any eulogium my pen is equal to. Our lists of wounded are small, and there is only one for whom am under anxiety. The conduct of 'my officers and crew, without an individual exception that has come to my knowledge, before, during, and after the battle, was such as became good and loyal subjects, zealous for the Honour of their much loved, though distant, King and country. The defence of the Essex, taking into considera. don our superiority of force, the very discouraging circumstance, of her having lost her main topmast, and being twice on fire, did honour to her brave defenders, and most fully evinced the courage of Captain Porter, and those under his command.— Her colours were not struck until the lots in killed and wounded was so awfully great, her shattered ' condition so seriously bad, as to render further re- 1 sistance unavailing. I was mach hurt on hearing that her men had been encouraged, when the result of the action was evidently decided, some to take to their boats, and others to swim on shore ; many were drowned in the attempt ; sixteen were saved by the exertions of my people, and others, I believe between thirty and forty, effected their landing. I informed Captain Porter, that I considered the latter, in point of ho. :tour, as my prisoners ; he said the encouragement was given when the ship was in danger from fire, and I have not pressed the point. The Essex is completely stored and provisioned for at least six months, end althongh much injured in her upper works, masts and rigging, is not in such a state as to give the slightest cause of alarm, respecting her being able to perform a voyage to E.oope with perfect s ilety ;—our main and mizen. masts and main yard, are rather seriously wounded, these, with a few sleet holes be:ween wind and water, which we can get at without lightening, and a loss 01 canvas and cordage, which we can partly replace iii ern our tsvil stereo prize, are the extent of the in juries his Majesty's ship has sustained. I feel it a pleasant duty to recommend to their Lordships notice, my now senior Lieutenant, Pear s n, and, Messrs. Allen, Gardner, Porter, and Daw, Midshipmen : I should do very great injustice to Mr. George O'Brien, the mate of the Emily mer cl.aatman, who joined a boats crew of mine in the harbour, and pushed for the ship the moment he saw her likely to come to action, were I to omit 'tenni mending him to their Lordships ; his conduct, with. that of Mr. N. Murphy, Master of the English brig Goo,l Friends, were such as to entitle them both to my lasting regard,. and to prove that they were ever ready to hazard their lives in their countty's hon our . I able cause. They came on board when the attempt was attended with great' risk, and both their boats were swamped. I have before informed their Lord ships, that Mr O'Brien was once a Lieutenant in his Majesty's service (may now add, that youthful indis., crztions appeir to have given place to great correct. ness of conduct), and as he has proved his laudable' zeal for its honour, I think, if restored, he will be found one of its greatest ornaments. I enclose returns of killed and wounded. And if coceived to have trespassed on their Lordships time by this very lung letter, hope it will be kindly ascribed to the right cause—an earnest wish that nwrit may meet its due reward.—l have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) JAM HILLYAR. P.S. There has not been found a ship's book or paper of any description (charts excepted), on board the Essex, or any document relative to the number set ving in her previous to the action. Captain Porter informs me, that he had upwards of 260 victualled ; our prisoners, including 42 wounded, amount to 161; '3 were found dead on her decks, three wounded were taken away by Captain Downes of the Essex, jun. a iew minutes before the colours were struck, .end 1 believe '2O or 30 reached the shore ; the re m ,inder were killed or drowned. 1.15 T of KILLED and Woo NORD in his Majesty's Skips under.

The boats proceeded up the river in the night of the 7tb, and attired at PettOguePiant ealy in the thorn. ing of the Bth, where, after a slight opposition tesno. some militias they destroyed all the vessels afloat or nn the stock within three milas of the place (an ac count r f which was included in the list of vessels taken fie destroyed, inserted in the Gazette of the 12th in stant,) 27 in number, their united hurthen exceeding 50(X) cons, and three of them large privateers, com pletely equipped and ready to put to te t. In addi tition to which were destroyed a number of boats, and a large quantity of naval stores. Having completed tht service, the detachments re embarked in the boats with the most perfect order and regularity, and after maintaining (as admitted in the American accounts of this affair) the most unexcep tionable conduct towards the inhabitants. The enemy had in the mean time collected a con siderable force of troops and militia on the banks of the river, to prevent the return of the boats ; and the American commanding officer sent a letter to Captain Coote, summoning him to surrender, to which he re turned a verbal answer, expressing surprise at such a summons, and setting theecemy's power to detain him at defiance. It was adcordingly determined to wait until dark before the retreat should be commenced ; and this boats then dropping down the river with the stream, without rowing, succeeded in passing the enemy's troops, batteries, and armed boats, with the loss of Only 2 men killed and 2 wounded, notwithstanding a brisk fire kept up on both sides of the river, and re tuned in triumph to their ships. The Vice-Admiral, as well as Ciptain Cipel, be stows the highest encomiums on Captain Conte, and all the officers and men employed under him, for the steady valour and great good conduct displayed in the performance, with so small of a serv.ce so Inju rious to the enemy. • La Hogue, Maidstone, Endymion, Borer.

DECEMBER 17. •Dispatches, of wl.iclt the following ate copies, ar!. chimed to the Adjutant-General of the Hotiourabk Company's Forces, have been received from Lieute nant C. , lottel Adams, commanding the British troops in the territory of Rewah: TO LITUTZNANT•COLONEL FAGAN', ADJUTANT-OW*IAL, lIIAD-QUAATIRS. Slit--T have the honour to report, for the informa tion of che•Qonsmander of the Forces, that having resolved to attempt to invest and ultimately attack Surnaid Sing and his troops in the Gliutree of En. touree, I now proceed to detail the successful result of that enterprise. 1 detached to Ententree, distance of ten miles, at midnight, on the Sd instant, whole of the outline piquets, amounting to forty ea. valry and 361 infantry, under the command of Cap tain wickson, Ist battalion sth regiment ef native intan:ry, to effect this object, and followed myself w•itn the under mentioned details, at four a. as. the next morning, viz. Horne Artillery, 6-pounder Brigade, Captain Stark. I) vidrht sth regime. native cavalry, Major Clark. lLtttr ng t w 8-poundera, with too rounds per tan — 'Pioneer eonaver ) . Four light infantry companies under Captain Lindsay. Two grenadier companies from 2d battalion all regiment and lit brtalion 9th regiment native infantry. J. * I arrived at Entouree about S a. m. and found Captain Patrickson had completely succeeded in :its enterprise, and occupied such judicious positions as precluded the possibility of the. escape of Surnaid Sing and his troops, in conjunction with Captain Field Engineer. I reconnoitred the Ghur ree on every side, an object difficult to effect, the place being enveloped in smoke. Surnaid Sing, on retiring into his Gliwice, having set the whole of the village around it on tire, Captain Tic kell as well as myself, was from this recon n oitre indirect' to de termine on making the breach and assaulting the Ghurree on the N. E. bastion ; with the screene pre viously prepared, a battery was instantly erected for two 18 pounders, at the distance of 35•') yards from the fort, and the guns opened at twelve o'clock-- Until this period tne enemy had been making every preparation for resistance, by destrnjing choppers and felling trees, Bcc. but had offered no opposition to our work. When the guns opened, an irregular fire of match-locks was commenced and continued. but with little eff:ct, during the whole of the days 3d. The Ghurree was strong in position and inter nal arrangement, forming a quadrangle of /40.teet by. 141; the ramparts 2t) feet thick, with a mud pa rapet, breast l!igli, and a circular solid bastion at each angle : the whole faced • with brick. It had cam. manded an adjacent •illage, which bad been burned, and was almost encompassed by the deep channel or a river, a tank, and-irregular ground. The gat kd only to an apartment, from whence the access to the interior was throueb an aperture, by a moveable lad. der, by which one only could mount at a time. On account of its strength, I hurtaken the precaution sending to our camp at &alien* for an addition 100 rounds of shot—these arrived in sufficient till* to enable our fire being carried on without intermit. sion, until five P. at. when the breach was reporued practicable. Every arrangement was previously made for the storm, which I directed to Commence a fear minutes before sunset. Captain Lindsay, Vat battalien 10th regiment Native Infantry, commanding ebe party destined to assault the breach, which consisted of two grenadier and three light inf.uu►y compile*, with the pioneers furnished with I aridere. A Secret& party, commanded by Captain Patrickson, at tins slime moment moved to assault the gatewaT ne the eastern face ; this party was compo►ed of one all. leper, sth regiment of cavalry, two complete tom. panics of infantry, and a party of pioneers with lad. dens. Tie cavalry were disposed under the orders of Major Clark, on the several faces of the Ghurree, to cut off all retreat. 4:h. On these columns advancing, the enemy open• ed a heavy tire of matchlocks, and appeared resolved to maintain the place to the last extremity. The ditch WAS so perpendiculir as to require ladders to - ascend from it. Our troops rushed forward .10 the attack with the most undaunted bravery, and, after a severe conflict, succeeded in crossing the ditch, which was deep, narrow, and stock ided by B ibool trees felled for the purpose. On gaining the loot of the breach, the enemy, instead of relaxing, increased their e'er• dons conflict ensued, which in duration and the intrepidity displayed both by the assailants and the garrison, I -have nevir seen eqitalled, our troops using every exertion to gain the piace by escalade, as well as to carry the breach ; but their eff its were not crowned with complete success, until after a struggle of an hour and ten minutes, when the place was entered, and the garrison put to death, with for exceptions; among the slain is SurnaiJ Sing himself. It is believes that this Chief, who was wounded, find- Mg all was lost, destroyed himself by an explosion of gunpowder: upwards of one hundred dead bodies have been since counted in the interior of the fort. .sth. Thus have the unparalleled exertions of the brave Otficers and men engaged in this assault, not only severely punished anti amply revenged the treacherous at ack of their fellos -soldiers at Suthenee, in May last, but have, I trust. ;tweed to the muds of the inhabitams of Rewah their erroneous impressions of their own superiority. I J. eply regret these objeo.. have not been attained without loss 01 our part : no European ofEer has fallen ; but in the list of wounded, I am conceined to report Captain Lindsay, who 5n gallantly headed the main attack ; Captain Meredyth and Ensign Malden. Ist battalion 9th regiment Native Infantry. I am. however, led to hope that their wounds will not be attended wit's any scious consecteentes. I have the honour to enclose a return of our Ws, which I con ceive iiimually small, when the obstinate defence of the Ghatetc is etasisiJeved; sad the time the cilia lasted. 1 consider the attack and capture of Entottree, at the period it was effected, peculiarly fortunate, as I have since received positive information of a reinforcement of 400'men being *vetted to join the garrison by 10 o'clock on the day the place was invested . 100 men belooging to Jugusohun Sing, of Omree, actually at. tempted to join Sum as!
