This occasioned fresh des-rtions to a - great extent; many of the fugitives came back to Poonah, and the body was now reduced .to 2000 This body was taken up by Colonel Milne: on the Godavery, as reported in his dispatch • of the 19th, transmitted to Mr. Adam, and pursued down the Rajtipaor Ghaut into Candeish, by a detachment of 300 men under the command of Captain Swaviie, of the 13th Regi. ment Madiis Native Irian* t at this place they , were taken op by theVinchookur, whose own account of bis proceeding I have the honour to inclose. He states himself to have taken many horses, but does not mention any loss on either side. During the period of this pursuit the bo3y of free boaters that had been forming in Candeisb, was de feated by Captain Davies. On first receiving authen. tic intelligence of the commencement of this part of the insurrection, I suggested to Mr. Russell, that the reformed horse should if possible be prepared to check it. The re.torrhea horse were then acting against the Naiks in Deur, but orders for their recall were immediately transmitted and as promptly exisi 'cute& so that the first division of them arrived on :he frontier of Candeish, just as the banditti were as stoning a tangible form. The gallant conduct of the Nizam's hors:„ and the complete rout of the insur gents that ensued. have already beta repo , teii in your Excellency. The fugitives from this defeat joined the party from the southward., and shared in the losses it met wah at the hawk of the Vinehookur. It ►tppears to have been the intention of both par ties to form a junetion, after which, by the accounts 'of the prisoners, they were to have come to Norm but probably their plan was to have plundered the country, and tol►ave taken advantage of any ttpett- Ing that might afford them a prospect of success against any of our detachments or their supplies.
