Sin—l have the honor to 'report to you, that soon after the divi.inii came to its ground yesterday, was informed that some of the Pashtos's horse bid approached the co:r e , red aud were driving away the tattle ; I therefore oat the cavalry pic queta to their protection, sad being afterwards in formed that the enemy was in very great numbers, find had formed within two miles of camp, I ordered Major Dawes to proceed with two squadrons and the galloper guns of the 7th light cavalry, and, ordering the line under arms, I followed with the rest of the cavalry to ascertain if it was practicable to bring the enemy to action. On arriving in sight of their troops I reinforced the cannier, retaining only"pne squadron in a situation Midway between them and the line ; but finding that nothing would induce the enemy to approach kis or stand their ground. I sent to recal the cavalry a little before sunset. Major Doveton repels, that with one squadron of the irid dragoons and two of the 7th light cavalry, be charged and diapersted three very large bodies of the enemy; and I feel satisfied that no troupe could hive done more, or been better managed, than those under his command. From numerous accounts I am convinced that the enemy had 10,000 men in the field, being the !suited bodies of horse of the VinchoOr Rajah, of 'part of Gokla's ' and those of Gopanl Row; and al ' though Major Doveton estimates their loss at only 40 or 50 men, the natives of the different villages trpresent that they admit to have lost 100, and the sane number of horses. The loss on our side was one man of the 7th light cavalry wounded, one horse of the and une of the 7th cavalry, missing. The brigade of gallopers was directed by Major Cleaveland, of the artillery, who must have very moth annoyed the enemy by their fire. I have, &c. T. PRITZLEIR, Brig.-Gen.

The reconnoissance being coripleted. I directed the ten ix-pounders (including the horse artillery guns), and two five and a half inch howitiers, with some twelve-pound rockets; to be brought into position, so as to knock off, in as greet a degree as such limited means would admit of; the defences of the gateway. These opened with admirable effect about eleven o'clock from the heights on which the pettah is situated, from aboht one hun dred to three hundred yards distant from the walls, the enemy keeping up an occasional fire from his guns. and a sharp one from his matchlocks, by which several casualties oecOrrecl. A second reconnoissance having been made by Lieutenant-Colonel Blacker, who advanced to the outer gate fur the purpose, I, determined upon storming it, in the hope that it all events a lodg- Men! Might be made within; two six•pounders were accordingly brought, under cover, close to the gateway; and the fleck companies of his Majesty's Royal Scots and Madras European regiment, under Major GordCn; of the former corps. supported by the rifle battalion. th't 3d light infantry, and the picsissets, under Major Knowles. were brought from camp for this purpose. Meisiitime the Killelar, alarmed at these pre ' partitions, and st the effect of the batteries, sent to solicit terms. lie was desired to open his gates, and to surrender himself and his garrison uncondi. hominy, which lie promised to do; some delay, howeier, taking place...and the day beginning to decline, the guns and Europeans were brought up to the first gate, which was, however, entered by the Europeans at the side by single tiles, without requiring to be blown open: the next gate was found open, sod at the third the Killedar clone out by the wicket, with a number of bailouts (33), whom he had on the previous evening forced into the fort from the pettah, and surrendered himself to the Adjutant-General. Lieutenant-Colonel Conway. The party advanced through another gale, and found the filth, which led into the body of the place, shut, and the Arabs within still insisting upon terms. After some delay the wicket of this gate Was opened from withm. and Lieutenant- Colonel Macgregor Murray sod Major Gordon en tered by it with two or three Officers and ten or twelve grenadiers of the Royal Scots, who were leading. I lament to state to your Lordship, that this gallant band was immediately attacked by the treacherous Arabs within, before adequate aid could be given from the wicket; in a moment they were fired upon and struck down with spears and arrows. The intrepid Major Gordon and Captain Macgre gor resigned their invaluable lives at this spot, and Lieutenant-Colonel Murray was wounded in several places with draggers before he had time to draw his sword to defend himself. I have no common satisfaction, however. in acquainting your Lord ship that this brave Officer is doing well, as are alik, I sin happy to add, Captain O'Brien, Assist ant-Adjutant-General, Lieutenant Anderson, of Engineers, Lieutenant Macgregor. of his Majesty's Royal Scots, and Lieutenaut Chum!, of the 241 Madras Native Regiment, who were wounded. the two former at the batteries, and the two latter at the wicket. IVlten the attack commenced at the inner gate, the outer one was directed by Lieutenant-Colonel Conway tb be blown Open, while the lire from the batteries covered the: assault; thirty or forty of the leading grenadiers hailing, in the mean time, suc ceeded in gettieig through the Wicket, the garrison took shelter to the houses in the fort, whence they still opposed au obstinate resistance; but the re mainder of the storming party hating by this time got into the place, the whole of the garrison, con sisting of about three hundred Wen, of whom s considerable number wire Arabs, were put to the sword, a severe eitample c indeed, but absolutely necessary, and one which I have no doubt will pro dui* the most salutary effect on the future opera. lions in this province. The Killeder I ordered to he banged on one of the bastions immediately after the place fell. Whe ther he was accessary or nut to the subsequent treachery of his men, his executicin Was a punish ment jug)y due to his rebellion in the first instance, particularly after the warning he had received in the morning. Our casualties, besides the irreparable loss fus tained in Major Gordon and Captain Macgregor, your Lordship will perceive, by the accompanying return of killed and wounded, are mach less nume rous than might have been expected from the des perate nature of the service on which the troops were engaged.

GENHRAL ORDERS BY THE CONMANDER,IN-CHIEV. Head-Chiarters of the Army of the Detou r Camp at Talueir, 211th February, 1818. Ilia Excellency, Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Hislop,_ Bart. Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Deccan, requests the Officers and troops en gaged yesterday upon the attack of 'Calorie, will accept his thanks for their gallant and zealous ex ertions during the short but arduous contest. The professional ability and experience of Mi:jor Noble, G.B. counnanding the artillery, were highly conspicuous in the judicious application of the very limited meatus at his disposal for opening a road with the fort. The artillery was most ably served, and its ex ecution far surpassed what could have been expected to be accomplished with light field-pieces. The Commander-in-Chief requests that Major Noble, C. 8., Captains Rudyard and M , lntosh, and Brigade-Major Bonner, of the artillery, as well as the whole of the Officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of that excellent corps, will accept his best thanks and ucknawledgernents for the valuable services they yesterday performed. The Commander-in-Chief had on this arduous occasion to deem himself most fortunate in experi encing the able, zealous, and valuable services of his Aide-de-Camp, Lieutenant Elliott, of the Royal Engineers, of which, in consequence of the wounds he received early in the battle of the 21st Decem ber last, his Excellency had to lament the privation during the remainder of the day. _ The services also of Lieutenstit Anderson and Ensign Turku', of engineers, were eminently con. spicuons, and his Excellency regrets that the wound which Lieutenant Anderson received should deprive him, even fur a moment, of that Officer's Services. The want of sufficient means to carry on the regular operations against the Inn of Tolneir, obliged his Excellency the Commander-in-Cliief to rest much on the well-known gallantry of his troops, on which he had the fullest reason, from preSious experience, to rely, and hi 9 expectations were us usual most fully realised. His Excellency regrets that this army and their country in general should have to lament the loss of such distinguished officers and valuable men as Major Gordon and Captain, Macgregor, of his Ma jesty's Royal Scots, the former commanding the storming party (which consisted of the Link coai ponies of his Majesty's Royal Scots, Under Captain Ilulme, and the Media European regiment, under Captain Maitland). and the latter commanding the grenadiers of his Majesty's Royal Scots. Major Gordon and Captain Macgregor fell gloriously at the heed of the gallant storming party, almost at the moment when their intrepidity and Courage had achieved the object of attack. To Major Knowfis, who, with the rifle corps. the 3d light infantry, and the picquets, supported the attack. the Commander-in-Chief offers his cordial acknowledgments for the zeal, decision, and intelli gence which distinguished that officer upon all oc casions; and his Excellency also requesti that Ma jor Snow, commanding the rifle corps, will receive his high approbation of his own exemplary conduct, and of the useful services of his corps. The Commander-in-Chief also noticed, with high satisfaction, the good conduct and discipline of the Ist battalion 3cl regiment light infantry, under Captain Agnew, and the picquets on duty under Captain Cuffly, of the 6th light infantry. The conduct of the pioneers daring the whole of their arduous duties in the attack of yesterday was such as to call forth the highest approbation of the Commander-in-Chief, and his Excellency offers to Captain M'Craith, commanding the pioneers, his warmest acknowledgments for his own distinguished and exemplary conduct, as well as to the whole of the Officers, non-coininimioned officers, and privates of his corps. His Excellency anxiously trusts that he shall not be long deprived or the taluable services of the officers and men who were wounded in the attack, and he assures that g Mont and distinguished officer Lieutenant-Colonel Macgregor Murray, Deputy. Adjutant-General of his Majesty's forces, and Captain O'Brien, Assistant Adjutant-General, as well us Lieutenant Anderson, of Engineers, Lieu tenant Macgregor. his Mejesty's Royal Scots. and Ensign Chime's,. Ist battalion 2d regiment Native Infantry, of his most wont solicitude for their early recovery. The conduct of Lieutenant-Colonel Conway. Adjutant-General of the Army. and the increasing and energetic display of that officer's personal courage and able arrangements throughout the day, were such as his Excellency well koew, from for mer experience, that he should derive the greatest benefit from. Sir Thomas Hislop begs the Lien tenant-Colonel to accept of his warmest thanks for the great aid he has on the present occasion received from him. The judicious and accurate reconnoissances made by Lieut.• Colonel Blacker, Quarter-Master•Geoe ral of the army, and the ability and gallantry of that officer in conducting the important arrange. mesas of Ins department during the operations of yesterday, were such alga as to entitle him to his Excellency's wannest thanks and acknowledgments. Sir Thomas Hullo') desires also to offer I►is best flanks to Lieutenant-Colonel the Honourable L. Stahope, who, with Lieutenant-Colonel Murray, accompanied the flank companies of Isis Majesty's Royal Scots in the storm, for his gallantly and conduct on this occasion; and to Major Hugh Scott, Military Secretary, and to every Officer of the General, Personal, and Divisional Staff, his Excellency tenders his warmest acknowledgments for the display of she energy and promptitude for which on this, as ou former occasions, they hate been distinguished.
