A• dispatch hay been received at the Rost India House from the Governor in Council at Smithey. dated 19th May. tale. enelosiog a repairs from Br.- gadier•General Thomas Munro to the Honourable Mountstuart Elphinstoue, of which the following is a copy : camp before Stro!spore (I), May 11, ISIS. Brad-Quarter., Field Division. To the Dos. Moustsloart Elphiasione, Commissioner. St a—Ols the 9th instant I had the honour to to port to you the arrival of the division under my command before this place, and that Gunput Row Paunsee had returned here from the south of the Beema River the day before, and was encamped under the guns of the fort, in a strung position, with Bs* Itow's guns and infantry. Yesterday morurtig, at day-break, I carried the outward pettah by escalade. and made a lodgement in the inner pelts's (close up to the fort), where the Arabs contiuued to defend the houses on that side of the fort, assisted by the garrison. fur a consider able time. It is now iu our postessiou, lam happy to inform you. Just es we got possession yesterday of the out ward WWI, thrown Row led a considerable body of hie infantry. with a few hundred horse, round by the caster's side of the fort. and opened live guns upon our reserve. Finding our battery slid not silence these guns, I ordered them to be charged, and carried three of them ; the other two having been unfortunately withdrawn just then tinder the fire of the fort. Gunput Row was wounded, and Victul Pout Tattiah killed. besides several others of less note, at their guns and in their retreat. Having understood that the enemy were going off about four o'clock p. so. from their camp, 1 ordered out our small body of cavalry, under Bri gadier• General Primler, to pursue them. Foe. Innately Dhooly Khan came into camp just before from Tooljspoor (9), with three hundred horse, after a long march. and joined in the pursuit. I have great satisfaction in &alienating ton that the Brigadier-General was fortunate enough to overtake them about seven miles from camp, and he pursued them five miles to the banks of the Beene (3) river, and only gave over a. the night closed to, leaving between seven and eight hundred killed sad wounded on the field. and amour* the focuser. I believe, Major de Pinto: his party, and the Arabs under Dyaub. who did not part with their arms, suffered most. The enemy were about five thousand infantry, and six or seven hundred horse: the' latter all escaped, haying had so great an advantage in startiog ; those of the infautry who got off threw away their arms: so I hope 1 may conghtiolste you upon the complete defeat and dm person of Bajee Eow's infantry. and as his guns were taken into the fort, I expect we shall soon have the remainder of them also. The enemy h e t all their baggage. camels. &C. Onr loss yesterday. I fear. has been severe ; as yet I have not received the returns of the killed and wounded. I shall do myself the honour to send you a de. tailed account tomorrow. of the oPeredem yesterday.

Major-General Marshall congratulates the army be ham the knout to command, on the successful ttriutioation of its service* against the fortress and tiiiirrof !lathe's ; which event has led to the sur render of Moorsuon and eleven other forts. To Major-Generals Donkin, Sir J. HOnford, Mid Brown, and Major Aliburey, General Meridian els extremely indebted for the judgment, zeal, premptituae. and energy, which they invariably displayed its carrying isito effect the Operationo-de• valving upon the several branches of the service to which they were attached. The science and skill displayed by the engineer and artillery departments were eminently coeispis colossi mid the bombardment and explosion of the enemy's principal magazine. which, without den). gating from the merits of others, must be allowed to have given us almost immediate possession of the place, will lung be regarded as the Most memorable among the brilliant events of the last fortnight, and as demonstrative of the extent and soundness of that judgment mud penetration, which, in the avowed anitcipation of these very cousequesices, enabled the army. by the provision of adequate means, to in sure them. The practice of the artillery has an swered the expectations of that high authority. to which the Major-General has ventured to allude in the foregoing observations. Another motive fur them is to bring forward and illustrate the fact more closely, that where the means are equal to the science and practical knowledge known to pervade every branch of the army, the molts must riably be rapid and successful. even against such strong and formidable forts as Haman has provtd to he. The infantry and cavalry on this occasion had abundant • opportunities of aliening their bravery, seal. and devotion to the service. On one occasion, particularly. the Major-Gene ral was highly pleased with the alacrity and rapt. uess displayed by the infantry, who were formed in tolerator ready to storm the works of the town, holding out every expectation of success from men who evinced such resolution and desire of being led on. • The duties of investing the fort latterly devolved op the await,. and their vigilance and constancy in maintaining the blockade entitle them to the Major-Genera'''s highest consideration. The loss sustained by the enemy in making their retreat from the fort, reflects great credit on the two squadrons of hie Majesty's Bth light dnigooria. the 7th native cavalry, and part of the Ist Robins cavalry, who entered and routed them. The pioneer corps has given another proof to the many already on record of their coolness in the most tryiug situations, and of their extraordinary skill and dispatch in die labours which belong to theni in this particular species of warfare. Having thus noticed his high approval of the conduct of every branch of the army, Major•Geties ral Marshall de►ires that the several Officer* em ployed on the General Staff of the army will accept his warmest thanks fur the able manner iu winch their several duties were conducted. _ The Atijor-Generil's Peri° nal Staff, consisting of Captain Jitnes, Aide-de-Camp, Major Cartwright, and Lieutenant Sneyd, of the Quarte►-Master- Geueral's department, who both volunteered their services on this occasion, and acted u Aides-de. Camp, are entitled to his best thinks fur their ready aisistance on all occasions. _ . The Commissariat Department, under Lieute, mint-Colonel Stevenson and Captain Cuuclitre, an swered the high expactatious formed of it from past experience. Lieutenant Aplin's exertions as acting Assistant Quarter-Master-Geuersil Worked the seal, intelli gence, and ability of this deserving and promising Officer; Captain Watson. Provincial Assistant,.

Sir ROSIZT Si'lLsum has published a Letter addressed to his Constituents, refuting • charge brought spinet him in the last number of The Querie►lp Review, wherein he is accused of having, during the war in the Peninsula, given ‘ 6 a false report or a victory gained by the corps under his conimatul." The passage in the Review containing this charge, expresses it In covert terms ,but the allmions are too strung to be misunderstood, It is an follows: 14 hir Robert Wilson la, we believe, biairlf well sepaint. ed with an (Aker of high rank, and of considerable repu tation as 'an able partisan: who nevertheless tbnerht fit to eaten • period nf inaction during the Spanish war, by dispatching So headquarters • fake report of • victory pined by dm corps tooter his command; a circumstance which, to *gar SIM Of it, has had a considerable effect in ste emendators as to military details derived from eon interns" It still am have escaped the notice of our reader., that this charge is extre mely general, specifying no circumstance of date or place by which the gal lant officer could be directed to advance opec.fic . . .
