As the enemy have left the frontier, the troops ti:aged in the attack have for the present been recalled to Aurungabad.

SIR,—I have the honour to report, that in pursuance of the intention expressed in my litter to your address of the tOth instant, I put the infantry in motion for the tiootalla Ciliaut at three o'clock that afternoon, following myself with about CM horse at four o'clock, and reached Saegaon, a vil lage belonging to Moorteeza or Jang, about six mi'es from the foot of the (Aram, at tell o'clock at night, where I waited one hour to cotlect the men, who had scattered, owing to the badness of the Chant. By the (1) patelluf this village I was iliformed, that the enemy had stationed mounted vklettes at every village between that place and their camp, which was *About 12 COO distant; but there was a road leading to it through the jungle, fripiented only by (g) Brinjarrics, by which I might advance unobserved, and he offered to con. duct me; I act ordiugly mounted hint on a horse, and pro. eeciling by the route he pointed out, arrived at a village they Were reported to be encamped at, ten cuss distant, a little after day break, when I futind that they bad marched from thence the evening before to Guimaispoor, about two cost. I advanced with five or six hot semen to reconnoitre, leas lug orders whit Captain Pedlar to Ming up the horse, and desiring her Captain Pedlar to leave the knapsacks of the infantry in a ravine, and to follow with the utmost expedi tion; I had advanced a.,Out a mile, when I discovered one aof the patroles of the enemy, whom I immediately pursued, 11 The P.a..11 or Potail is the head man of a village, who col licts the rent, and Las the geneml suls:rintrndence of its concern;. 12 j Brinialtra cullt;:t brain foe the 'rev. TIIE NATIONAL REGISTER. and took two of them prisoner., a third man escaped through the jungle to the left; from the two poisoners I ascertained that the enemy had their horses ready 'addled, but had not received any information of our approach. I sent back to desire Captain Pedlar to advance ;it a brisk pace; lie user took nie in a short time, and we pushed 4111 at a 8111N1 t comer, and in ascending a riWitlg ground perceived the enemy drawn lip to receive us, their (lank protected by a strong (3) gui nee, into which they had thrust n some infantry, and their trout co s ered by a (4) mullah with sae, p hanks. As they consiiler slily outnumbered ns, being about Nu thousand strong, and (drolly armed with matchlocks. I determined upon instantly caarging them wills the sabre, and accordingly ordered the men to sling their matchlocks, and advance in as compact a burly as the nature of the ground, which was covered with low jungle, would admit of; oil receiving this order Ulll' 1111l' advanced at full speed, every man endeavouring to be first on the enemy ; they tired a kw idiots from their matchlocks as we were crossing the mullah, which fortunately passed ov, r us without doing any injure. The instant we got os er the hullah, thu enemy broke mid fled in all directions, and were pursued upwards of three coss, sustaining a loss of about 200 men killed, besides a gnat number of wounded ;amongst the latter was a person who appeared to be a chief of elilllo - qucnce, called by his own men Appals Sahel., and who %viten wounded, threw down his spear, and being well mounded, made his escape. Finding the enemy by this tnne couplet. h dispersed, I ordered the pursuit to cease, and the 111(11 to re turn to the enemy's camp. Having been wounded during the pursuit, I lead dismount ed to tie up my arm, when I was informed unit a fresh body of the enemy was coining down on our right ; I ordered (-apt. Robinson, nho had anise t! wills the infant' y during the pur suit, to tall in his men. I mounted, and collecting as many of the horse as I crailil, ads anted with the infantry in column, left in front, and the horse formed iii line on the left of the infantry, about five wiles, Ull4sll I funnel Risaldar .thou Alie Khan, and first Jemedar Meer Siitldeer Aid, had collected about 200 111113 •on the banks of a nullah, with whom they kept the enemy in check, by a tire from their matchlocks ; the instant they saw our line advancing, they went MI at speed in is north westerly direction , and our horses being completely jaded by the length of their march and umsuit, I considered it useless to follow them. A few prisoners were taken, IcO; which I learnt that the body of horse collected, which they stated to be 2,000, was commanded by Godajee How, a nephew of Trimbockjee Minutia, and that Trimbuckjee himself was shortly expectil to join them with a large reinforcement. The body of horse which threatened to renew the combat were said to conii•t of. iOO, which had been detached to a s illage at some dis tance, with about 300 of the fugitives who had rallied. One of the prisoners also stated that they hail been joined, the evening before, by about I•I0 hur•e from the southward ; that a body of Arabs, trunk Mullegaon, was expected in two days, and that Godajee Row Dainglia, had wrutcu to Setuo hi, assistance, who had promised to send 11611 a large body of Pindarries. I ant happy to say the loss on our pall was as little as can he expected, and I should imagine at • cannot exceed In nu•n killed,and too or 2) wounded; amoupt the latter, I regret to state, is Captain Pedlar, severely. I shall have the honour to forward a return (5) of the killed and wounded as soon as it can be prepared. I ca nnot eluse Iltis dispatch without' expressing the high SiUM' I entertain Of the assistance I received fro n Captain Pedlar, and Lieut. Rind, who joined me as a volunteer on this occasion ; the former of w hunt had charge of the right, and the latter ot the left wing. I have much pleasure in assuring you, that although we nad marched upwards of 50 miles before the attack en .need, not a man of the infantry had fallen in the rear ; and 1 feel convinced, from the eagerness they displayed on the occasion, that if an opportunity had offered they would have attended me every assistance. The behaviour of both officers and men composing the de. tachment of reformed horse with ine in this affair, exceeded my most sanguine expectations. There was not a single otficer who did not distinguish himself; and they were must gallantly supported by their men. I have the honour to be, eke. EVAN DAVIES, Captain, commanding the Reformed time.

Camp at I'attre, April, 18, 2, a. m. Sot —As you are already apprised of my having marched front camp with a detachment, consisting of WM rank and file, on the evening of the 12th instant, in pursuit of a body of horwe of suspicious character, which by report amounted to 3,000, 1 proceed to detail my movements iweordingly. After mai citing the greater part of that alight, 1 leached Camhergaum on the Het:malt on the morning of the 13t11, when I fortunately succeeded in falling into the hack of the fugitives, who had taken the directtou of the Carrittigee Gliaiii, east of :Sittg.ger. On my arrival at the top of the pass, at is p. in. nit the evening of the I Mond the party had gone down it the eventog nefoi 0, mei though I win, nut disposed to relax for a moment in the pursuit, yet the diffi culties 1 had to surmount, from the extreme bad state of the roads, winding over-hills, and through stony by-paths, in duced me to halt for a few limas tort:flesh the men, w ho ap p,ared lunch fatigued. At two a. 111. hussever, of the j3] Gurbees are mud forts; some of them arc surrounded with ditches. 14 Nußah. a rivulet. pi Not yes rectivait NOV. 10. I descended the limit, and did not reach the village ofSirsee a . which lies at the bottom, until broad day-break , there gained information of their having struck into the great road to Toka, though I was previously assured that they were di. ri cling their course to Picini] nu the Gouda very, with the intention of crossing at that place. I halted again at 3lons, on the Toka-road, to give the detachment rest, with a deter. ruination to make a final effort to overtake the fugitives, if liussible before they crossed the river : while here I received nilormation of their having again deviated fi their route arid Garecaganne, I learnt that they had halted there this night before : having satisfied Inv self of the correctness of this information, I continued my root(' to the westward ; and aithough nearly two hours were lost by our guides taking • the detachment a wrong road, yet I conceived that there was still a possibility of coming up to the pursued before day break of the 11th. In this supposition, I ant happy to say. I was not deceived, for at tike o'clock 1 instructed two of uty e.iiiiiiissonied and non•co aaaaaa isioried confidential ()dicers to enter a village in disguise, who sei..ed 111 , 1111 a 111 311. W llO lll I aticrwards compelled. by threats, to conduct us to the Maliratta camp, which I had reason to suppose was about four or five miles off. Daring the time we were going this distance I made the llVCl`S`asy arrangements for gut attack in three divisions, by the twit in pint, consisting Of the flank companies of the • lib Madras, and two companies of the 3d Bombay Native Infantiy, tinder Captains Smyth and Deschamps, diverging Iron' the head of the column to the right and left on entering the encampment, and by directing the 3d diviyiuu , two com panies of the 2.1 Bombay Native Infantry, under Captain Spear, to move steadily into its centre without breaking, with • a view to this division becoming a point upon which the others might rally in case of necessity. On coining within two miles of the village of I'attre, the • forces of the encampment were clearly discernible, upon which the column moved forward with a hastened step, and shortly before day-light entered the enclosures of the village . It was then we plainly perceived that the Maharanis or Pitidarry horse were either mounted or mounting fora march; under these circumstances nu time was to he lost, and being then only a few paces, as I supposed, from their rear piequet, I directed Lieutenant Beach to give them a volley trout the front sank of the i-don, having previously mitered the front ranks of the leading divisions of the 3d and Ink to lead, this was accordingly done ; and the C4IIIIIIIII imme diately after rushed forward to the charge. The horse lied in all directions, leaving 30 or 60 killed and wounded on the ground. They were pursued for borne distance, When the exhausted static of the men, and the scattered order which they were necessarily obliged to assume fur a pursuit, in duced me to concentrate my little force ; and I was the more persuaded of the propriety of this measure from observing considerable 'pudica of horse apparently well organized, in commanding situations on our flanks. This arrangement, I presume, induced them to draw oil; nor did 1 deem it right or expedient to continue a pursuit a fresh body of horse, with infantry jailed and exhausted from our lung marches, toutinited for live successive days and nights. tt 10 or I I a, 1111. we were called to arms, by the re-appear once of a body of about 100 well mounted hot se, in pro-. iniscuos order, who, atter tiring a few slims from their IllinCh• leeks at the parts brought out to keep them in check re. tired. 1 omitted to mention before, that this hotly of horse, which could not have been less than 4,000, murdered Lientimant Warm, of the Aladras Artillery, and his sepoy guard at the village of Soome, on the evening of the Nth, a ley, - hours prior to my passing through it ; and that they phuuleued all the smaller unprotected villages on their i 011ie limn the southward to Pattre. . . Some baggage, a quantity of arms, and from 100 to 150 horses of different descriptions, were left upon the ground ; the greatest part of which were pillaged by the villagers in the neighbourhood during the pursuit, mac. I am happy to add, that we Intl with uu ra•nalties, with the exception of one non-commissioned officer of the 2d Bombay Native Infantry wounded. Had we not unfortunately been led out of the route by the guides, as before mentioned, we should in all probability have found the enemy less prepared for flight, and conse quently have been enauled to give a better account of them ; as it is, however, I hope you will give me credit when I assure you, that every exertion was made by both officers and mon for the public service ; and I feel great pleasure in having this opportunity of beaming testimony to the cheer fulness with which the officers performed their several I estimate the distance traversed by the detachment to be about 150 miles, including the rimming it marched with the camp; and during the last ;it hours, it actually marched 41 miles, not including the pursuit.
