Tim following letter from the Adjutant-General of the Forces in Bengal to the Secretary of the Su preme Government, with its enclootres, has been received by the Secret Committee of the East India Company, from his Excellency the Governor-Ge neral in Conneil, in a dispatch, dated Fort William, the Bth February, 1814. TO JOIN ADAM, F.Q. SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT. SIR—I have the honour, by direction of the Right Honourable the Commander in Chief, to transmit to) you, in order to he laid before the RightHonourable the Governor-General in Counsil, the enclosed copy of a Dispatch, received from Lieutenant-Colonel Adams, commanding the troops in Rewah, under date the sth instant, detailing the successful result of a very gallant and well planned attack on the Glair ree of Entouree, on elpe 4th instant, and accompanied by a return of the killed and wounded. G. fl. FAGAN, Adjutant--General. Adjutant-General's Office, Presidency of FertWilliam, December 16. IS I S. TO LIEUTENAVT•COLONEL FAGAN, ADJUTAVT-GENERAL. Head-quarters. SIR—I have the honour to report, for the informa tion of his Excellency the Commander of the Forces, that having resolved to attempt to invest and ulti mately attack Surnaid Sing and his troops in the Gl:twee of Entouree, I now proceed to detail the successful result of that enterprise. 1 detached to Entouree, a distance of ten miles, at midnight on the 3d•instant, the whole of the outline pi'equets, amounting to forty cavalry and three !mo cked and sixty infantry, under the command of Cap-' tain Patriekson, .Ist battalion stll regiment Native Infantry, to effect this object, and followed myself with the under-mentioned details, at four a. m. the next 'morning, viz. horse artillery, six-pounder bri gede, under Captain Stark ; division sth regiment ' Native cavalry, under Major Clark ; battering guns, two eighteen-pounders, with 100 rounds per gm ; pioneer company ; four light infantry companies, under Captain Lindsay; two grenadier companies from the 21 battalion `2,i regiment, and Ist battalion 9th reg:ment Native Infantry. I arrived at Entoutee about eight a. m. and found Captain Patricksnn had completely succeeded in his enterprize, and had occupied such judicious positions as precluded the possibility of thesescape of Surnaid Sin and his troops. In conjunction with Captain! Tickell,Field Engineer, 1 reconnoitred the Ghurree on every side—an object difficult to effect, the place being enveloped in smoke, Surnaid Sing, on retiring into his Ghurree, having set the whole of the villaes around it on fire. Captain Tickell, as welt as myself, was, from this reconnoitre, induced to determine on making the breach, •and assaulting the Ghurree, on the north east bastion, with the screens previously prepared. A battety was instantly erected for two 18-pounders, at the distance of three hundred and fifty yards from the tort, and the guns opened at twelve o'clock. Until this period the enemy had been making every preparation for resistance, by de stroying choppers, felling trees, &c. but had offered no opposition to our work. When the guns opened, an irregular fire of matchlocks was commenced and cnntinued,'but with little effect, during the whole of the day. As the walls of the Ghurree appeared of consider able strength, I took the precaution of sending to our camp at Sutheuee for an additional hundred rounds of shot; these arrived in sufficient time to enable our tire being carried on without intermission until 5 P.M. when the breach was reported practicable. Every arrangement was previously made for the storm, which I directed to commence a few minutes before sun-set. Captain Lindsay, '2d battalion 10th Tegi• ment Native Infantry, commanding the party des tined to assault the breach, which consisted of two grenadier and three light infantry companies, with ' the pioneers, furnished with ladders. • A second party, commanded by Captain Pati-Tek 40n, at the same moment mcved to assault the gate way of the eastern face. This party was composed of one galloper, sth regiment cavalry, two complete ,companies of infantry, and a party ot pioneers, with ladders. The cavalry were disposed, under the orders -of r aka- Clark, on the several facer of the Ghurree, .o cut off all retreat. • On these columns advancing, the enemy opened a heavy fire of matchlocks, and appeared resolved to .- I -naintain the place to the last extremity. Our troops rushed forward to the attack with the most undaunted :leavers, and, after a severe conflict, succeeded in ertilitng the ditch, which was deep, narrow, and isaskaded.by babied trees, felled for the purls. use.— Ongaieing the toot of the bleach, the enemy, instead of relaking, increased their exertions. A conflict en suede widish, in duration and Ow intrepidity displayed, both by doe assailants and the garrison, has never -wen equalled; our troops using every exertion to 4aint the place by escalade, as vtelj as to carry the rreach. Their efforts were not crowned with corn ',fete sticcess until after a struggle of an hour and ten ;Minutes, when the place was entered, and the garri son pu/ p . deeljt, with few e.teeptions, i ly . Nie ttgite sfailEis Sumaid Sine htmtelf. UrvArdc . . of one hundred dead bodies have been since counted in the interior of the fort. Thus have the unparalleled exertions of the brave, officers and men engaged in this assault, not only se verely punished and amply revenged the treacherous attacks of their fellow soldiers at Suthenee, in May last, but have, I trust, proved to the minds of the in habitants of Rewah their erroneous impressions of their own superiority. I deeply regret these objects have not been obtained without loss on our part. No European officer has fallen ; hot in the list of wounded I am concerned to report Captain Lindsay, who so gallantly headed the main attack; Captain Meredyth, and Ensign Mat= den, Ist battalion 9th regiment Native Infantry. am, however, led to hope that their wounds will not he attended with serious consequences. I have the honour to enclose a return of our loss, which I con ceive unusually small, when the obstinate defence of the Ghurree is considered, and the time the attack lasted. I have now to perform a pleasing part of my duty, in reporting, for his Excellency's information, the distinguished gallantry and persevering bravery so universally displayed by all ranks employed on this important occasion. To the Sepoys every enco mium is due, for their perseverance in continuing the attack with unabated ardour, under circumstances of peculiar difficulty, even after the heavy loss in offi cers sustained early in the attack. It is difficult 10 particularize individual merit . where exertions are so equaleunless when situations of command or respon. sibility render them peculiarly conspicuous. Captain Lindsay, who commanded the main attack, is en. titled to the highest encomiums for his steadiness in leading on the columns, and for his judicious ar rangements, so well calculated to insure success. To Captain Patric kson, who led the second colUmn, and intended to distract the attentioa of the enemy, an object effectually accomplished by his active ef forts to escalade the fort, every praise is due. Lieutenant Todd, who commanded the pioneers, was distinguished in leading the troops to the breach; and the cool determined conduct he displayed in planting the ladders, and opening the road into the tort, by forcing the wicket on the sorthern curtain. The professional ability of Captain Tickell, Field Engineer, has afforded me that advice and assist. ance in determining the point of attack, which must so eminently have contributed to the success of the assault. To Captain Stark, who commanded the batteries, and the officers under his orders, I cannot bestow too great praise for their animated tire, and the skill with which it was directed. The success attending the judicious arrangements adopted by Major Clark, commanding the division of the sth regiment cavalry, for cutting off and pre. venting the escape of the garrison, even alter the three companies were withdrawn, for the purpose of supporting the storming columns, entitles that offi cer's skill and exertions to every commendation. In conclusion, I have great pleasure in reporting the high gratification I have received from the exec . tions of Captain Faithful, Major of Brigade, Lieute-, nant Roberts, of the sth regiment cavalry, and Lieu tenant Barrow, of the 10th regiment native infantry, from whose zeal and intelligence I derived great ad vantage in conducting the necessary arrangementi on this inipot tant occasion.—l have the honour so lii:, (Signed) J.

MY Lotto—Since the letter which 1 had the honour of addressiog to your Lordship on the 9th instanyl have now the satisfaction of reporting that Moos! Island was surrendered on the 11th to the forces uncles Captain Sir Thomas Hardy, and Lieutenant-Colonel Pilkington, And that the who!e 01 the islands is Pin. samaquaddy Day are consequently in the lititish session I have the honour herewith to transmit to your -Lordship a copy of Lieutenant-Colonel Pilkington's . report to me hereupon, which encloses a copy of the summons, the terms of capitulation granted, Ste. An I beg leave to represent to your Lirdship, the praise worthy zeal manifested by I..cote•nant-Colonel Pil kington, in volunteesjng his services to conduct this expedition, as well as the judicious arrangements a hich he made, contributing to its successful termination. The Lieutenant-Colonel expresses himself under the greatest obligations to Sir Thomas Hardy, for the co-operation he met with from that able and me: ito nous officer, to whose conciliating conduct he attri butes the cordial good understanding and unanimity that prevailed between both branches of the service.— And he also speaks very highly of Captain Senliouse, of his Majesty's ship Martin, who superintended the disembarkation of the troops, and of all the naval officers, and ►he seamen who assisted therein. Lieuten*nt•Colonel Pilkington gives much credit to Lieutenant• Colonel Herries, commanding theltdd regiment ; to Captain Dunn, commanding the de tachment of Royal Artillery, and to all the officers and troops under his command, for the zral and steadiness which they displayed, while in the prospect of attacking the enemy's work on Moose Island. Lieutenaot.Colonel Nicol's, of the Itoya l l gngi neers, whose local knowledge was considered likely so be essentially useful, as I have alrea iy informed your L-rdship, accompanied the expedition; and to that otfizer Lieutenant-Cilt.nel Pilkington acknow. ledges himself to be greatly indebted fur the assist ance which be afforded to the service. Lieutenant Oates, of the G4th regiment, one of my Aides-decamp, was also attached to this service, tw he employed on the personal staff of Lieutenant. Colonel Pilkington, who speaks in very favourable terms of the assistance he received from him, and particularly mentions the zeal and alacrity Which he displayed. As I considered it vroitld be agreeable to your Lordship to be made acquainted as early as possible that the Wands in the Bay of Passamaquoddy were in our possession, I have deemed it expedient to :rad Lieutenant Oates, who will have the honour of deli vering these dispatches, and at the same time of pre. sensing to your Lordship the standard and colours of theenemy found in Fort Sullivan. Lieutenant Oates having been nearly three years my aide-de-camp, and having, during the wh'de of that time, as well as on the present occasion, con ,is :Led himself very much to my satisfaction, I ;eel it but an act of justice to recommend him very strongly to your Lordship's protection, as a deserv ing oaicer.—l have the honour to be, the. (Signed) J. C. SIIERSROOLE. Earl Bathurst, au. Ike. Moose Island, Posam2quadiy Bay, July I?, tall. SlR—Having sailed from Halifax on die Sthanst. accompanied by Lieutenant-Colonel Nicolls of the Royal Engineers, and a detachment of the Royal Artillery wider the command of Captain Dunn, have the honour to acquaint your Excellency that we arrived at Shelburne, the place of rendezvous, on the evening of the 7th instant. where I found Captain Sir Thomas Hardy, in his Majesty's ship Ramifies, with two transports, having on board the 102 d regiment under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Herries, which had arrived the day before. I did not fail to lay before Sir Thomas Hardy instsections, and to consult with him the best means of carrying them into exeeution. As we concurred in opinion that the success of the enterprize with which we were entrusted would very materially depend upon our reaching the point of at tack previous to the enemy being apprized of our in tentions, that officer, with his accustomed alacrity and decision, directed the ships of war and transports to get under weigh early on the follow ing morning ; and we yesterday about three o'clock ft. at. anchored near to the town of Eastport. On our approach to this Island, Lieutenant Oates (your Excellency's Aide-de-Camp, whom you had permitted to accompany me on this service), was de. 'ached in a boat beacing a flag of truce, with a sum .nons (copy of vhich is transmitted) addressed eo the Odicer commanding, requiring that Moose Island ,'should be surrendered to his Britannic Majesty. This :propoial was not accepted ; in cons.:qtrence of which, the troops which. were already in the boats, pulled off under the supenntendence of C ireain Senhouse of the Royal Navy, whose arrangements were so judi cioos acto insures successful issue. But previous to reai.hing . r.e snore the colours of the enemy on fort . Sullivan were hauled down : and on our landing, the cipitulition was agreed to, of which the copy is en. closed. ". We found in the Fort a detachment *of the 40th 'regiment of American infantry, consisting of six officers and about eighty men, under the command ot Major Putnam, who surrendered themselves pi soners of war. This . Fort is situated on an eminence commanding the entrance to the afteherage, and within it is a block-ii use, and also tour long eighteen pounders, one eigo,een pouad caironade, and tour field pieces. The extent of the island is about tour miles in length and two in nreadth, and in a great state ot cultiva tion. Tile militia amount to about 250, and the po pulation is calculated at 15011 We have also occupied .alllens and Frederick Islands, so that the whole of the islands in this Bay are now subject to the British flag. It is very satisfactory to me to add, that this ser vice has been effected without any loss or casualty among the troops employed in it. To Captain Sir Thomas Herdy I consider myself under the greatest obligations ; having experienced every possible co.operation, with an offer to disem bark „from his squadron any proportion of seamen or marines which 1 considereJ necessiry. I beg to acknoStlesige my thanks to Ton in allow ing your Aide-de-Getup, Lieutenant Oates, toaccom pany me upon thus service. He has been of great assistance to me, and will ti..ve the honour of deliver ing this dispatch. He has •allo in his possession the colours and standard found in Fort Sullivan.
