DESPATCHES FROM INDIA, (Prom the Gauge of last evening.) INDIA BOARD, JAN. 28, 1853. The following papers have Wen received. at the East India House : No. 1. GIMBAL •RDBR BY THE GOVERNOR•GENERAL OF INDIA COUNCT.L Fort William, December 24, 1857. No. 1,649 of 1857. The Right Hon. the Governor-General in Council is pleased to direct the publication of the accompanying de spatehes lately received from the head-quarters of the army. a nce of These papers contain accounts of the safe convey the women and children, sick and wounded of the garrirn major of Lucknow across the Ganges : of the resistance by General Windham to a well-organized and dehspoderatoef attack on his position at Cawnpore by rebels ; and of the subsequent defeat anda;tttlearrgaTteroeuottiooftlythoef insurgents by the troops under the imme diate his Excellency the Commander -in-Chief- Throughout these operations all branch es of the service vied with each other in enhancing the glorious name which the contests of the last few months have secured for the British army in India. As regards the operations of the 6th, the masterly gui dance of the Commander thanf hi Was at Lfincttikn i ow ; to each disposition and movement o s force s , fitting n one complete and effective s cheme, p roof against all disturbance by the ohance of the 'day of battle. General Sir Colin Campbell has added largely to the heavy claim which he kola upon the gratitude and confidence of the Govern ment, and of the soldiers whom he leads to victory. In two hours the camp of the rebels was reached and taken, and their rout complete ; seventeen guns, and a large amount of stores and ammunition falling into the hands of the British Force. His Lordship in Council desires to record his apprecia tion of the admirable manner in which Brigadier-General * Mope Grant, C. 8., has executed the duties of his division, and particularly of his exertions in pursuit of the enemy on the 6th, and his operations on the Bth and 9th Dec., on which occasion he took 15 of the enemy's guns without the loss of one man. On this, as on every occasion in which danger was to be faced and difficulty overcome, Captain Peel, R.N., com manding the Naval Bcigade, was foremost in intrepidity and 'weans°. Lieut. Vaughan and the other officers and men of -H.M.S. Shannon are worthy of their brave commander ; and it is a pleasure to the Governor-General in Council to declare his warm admiration of their conduct. The Governor-General in Council very cordially concurs in the praise sojustly bestowed by the Commander-in-Chief on the general officers commanding divisions, on Major General Mansfield, chief of the staff, and on all the officers of the general staff in all its branches and the personal staff, and officers commanding brigades and regiments, troops and batteries. In the commendation given by his Excel lency to officers of every arm of the service, the Governor- General in Council most heartily joins. To all officers, non-commissioned officers, and men, en gaged in the defence of Cawnpore, or in the attack on the -enemy's position, the Governor-General in Council offers his cordial thanks for their gallantry and good service to the State. - It will be his pleasing duty to take the first opportunity of bringing their merits to the favourable notice of her • Majesty's Government, and of the Honourable Court of' Directors. R. J. H. BIRCH, Colonel, Secretary to the Government of India, in the Military Department. No. 2. The Commander-in-Chief to the Governor-General. Head Quarters, Camp, Cawnpore, Dec 2d, 1857. My Lord,—ln accordance with the instructions of your lordship, arrangements were finally made with Sir James Outram, that his division, made up to four thousand 0,000) strong of all arms, should remain in position before Luck -4011. This position includes the Post of Alumbagh, his stand ing camp, of which the front is fifteen hundred (1,500) yards in the rear of that post, and the bridge of Bunnee, which is held by four hundred (400) Madras sepoys, and wo (2) guns. On the 27th I marched with Brigadier-General Grant's division, all the ladies and families who had been rescued from Lucknow, and the wounded of both forces, making in all about 2,000 people, whom it was necessary to carry; and encamped the evening of that day a little beyond Bunnee-bridge. The long train did not reach completely and file into camp until after midnight. When we arrived at Bunnee, we were surprised to hear very heavy firing in the direction of Cawnpore. No news had reached me from that place for several days ; but it appeared necessary, whatever the inconvenience, to press forward as quickly as possible. The march accordingly re-commenced at 9 a.m. the next morning, and shortly afterwards I received two or three notes in snceession— first, announcing that Cawnpore had been attacked ; secondly, that General Windham was hard pressed ; and thirdly, that he had been obliged to fall back from outside the city into his entrenchment. The force was accordingly pressed forward, convoy and all, and was encamped within three miles of the Ganges, about three hours after dark, the rear g uard coming in with the end of the train some 21 h ou r s aterwards. I preceded the column of march by two or three hours, and reached the entrenchment at dusk, where I learnt the true state of affairs. _ _ The retreat of the previous day had been effected with the loss of a certain amount of camp equipage, and shortly after my arrival, it was reported to me that Brigadier Carthew had retreated from a very important outpost. All this appeared disastrous enough, and the next day the city was found to be in possession of the enemy at all points. It had now become necessary to proceel with the utmost caution to secure the bridge. All the heavy guns attached to Gen. Grant's division, under Capt. Peel, R.N., and Capt. Travers, R.A., were placed in position on the left bank of the Ganges, and directed to open fire and keep down the fire of the enemy on the bridge. This was done very effectually, while Brigadier Hope's brigade, with some field artillery and cavalry, was ordered to cross the bridge, and take position near the old dra .goon lines. A cross fire was at the same time kept up from the en trenchment, to cover the march of the troops. When darkness 'began to draw on, the artillery parks, the wounded and the families were ordered to file over the bridge; and it was not till 6 o'clock p.m., the day of the 30th, that the last cart had cleared the bridge. The passage of the force, with its encumbrances, over the Ganges, had occupied 30 hours. The camp now stretches from the Dragoon lines, in a half circle round the position occupied by the late Gen. Sir Hugh Wheeler, the Foot Artillery lines being occupied by the wounded and the families, A desultory fire has been kept up by the enemy on the entrenchment and the front of the camp since this position was taken up, and I am obliged to submit to the hostile • occupation of Cawnpore until the actual despatch of all my encumbrances towards Allahabad has been effected. However disagreeable this may be, and although it may tend to give confidence to the enemy, it is precisely one of those cases in which no risk must be run. I trust, when the time has arrived for me to act with • due regard to these considerations, to see the speedy eva cuation of his pfesent position by the enemy. In the meantime, the position taken up by Brigadier- General Grant's Division, under my immediate orders, has restored the communications with Futtehpore and Allaha bad, as had been anticipated. The detachments moving along the road from these two places have been ordered to continue their march accordingly. Major-General Windham's despatch, relating to the operations conducted under his command, is inclosed. In forwarding that document, I have only to remark, that the complaint made by him in the second paragraph, of not receiving instructions from me, is explained by the fact of the letters he sent, announcing the approach of the Gwalior Force, not having come to hand. The first notice I had of his embarrassment was the dis tant sound of cannonade as above described. All the previous reports had declared that there was but little chance of the Gwalior Contingent approaching Cawn pore. _ . I have, dm, 0. CAMPBELL, General, Commander-in-Chief. P.S. Annexed is a return of casualties from the 2ith ultimo to this date. No. 3. Major General C. A. liVindhara to the Commander-in- Chief. Cawnpore, November 30, 1857. Sir,—ln giving an account of the proceedings of the force under my command before Cawnpore during the opera tions of the 26th, 27th, 28th, and 29th instant, I trust your Excellency will excuse the hasty manner in which it is drawn up, owing to the constant demands upon me at the present moment. Raving received, through Captain H. Bruce, of the sth Puojamb Cavalry, information of the movements of the Gwalior Contingent, but having received noise whatever from your Excellency for several days from Lucknow, in : . answer to Iny, letters to the Chief of the Staff, I was obliged toast for myself.

It so h a pp ene d , h owever , that this order, on oux earn i ng i n t o ac ti on , b ecame exactly ' inverted by my directions in consequence of a sudden tern of the road. No confusion, however, was caused. The isJvauee -was made with a complete line of skirmi.hcls along the whole front, with supports on either irde and a reserve in the centre. The enemy, strongly posted on the other ci 7e of the dry b..rd of the ?andoo Nuddee, opened a heavy fire of artil lery from siege and field guns ; but such was the eagerness and courage of the troops, and so well were they led by their officers, that we carried the position with a rush, the men cheering as they went; and the village, more than half-a-mile in its rear, was rapidly cleared. The muti neers hastily took to Telt, leaving in our possession two • 8-inch iron howitzers and one 6-pounder gun. In Oil fight my loss was not severe ; but I regret very you officer, Captain H.

Owing to the flight of the camp followers at the com mencement of the action, notwithstanding the long time we held the ground, I regret to state, that in making this retrogade movement, I was unable to carry off all my 1 c amp equipage and some of the baggage. Had not an '1 error occurred in the conveyance of an order issued by me, I am of opinion that I could have held my ground at all events until dark. I must not omit, in this stage of the proceedings, to report that the flank attack was well met, and resisted, for a considerable time, by the 34th Regiment under Lieutenant-Colonel Kelly, and the Madras Battery under Lieutenant Chamier, together with that part of the 82d Regiment which was detached in this direction under Lieutenant-Colonel D. Watson. In retiring within the entrenchments I followed the general instructions issued to me by your Excellency, con veyed through the Chief of the Staff, namely, to preserve the safety of the bridge over the Ganges, and my commu nications with your force, so severely engaged in the im portant operation of the relief of Lncknow, as far as pos sible. I strictly adhered to the defensive. After falling back to the fort, I assembled the superior officers on the evening of the 27th, and proposed a night attack, should I be able to receive reliable information as to where the enemy had assembled his artillery. As, however, I could obtain none (or, at all events, none that was satisfactory), I decided Firstly, That on the following day Colonel Walpole, Rifle Brigade, should have the defence of the advanced portion of the town on the left side of the canal, standing with your back to the Ganges. The details of the force upon this point were as follow 5 companies Rifle Brigade, under Lieut.-Colonel C. Woodford. 2 companies of the 82d Regiment, under Lieut.-Colonel Watson. 4 guns (two 9-pounders, and two 24-pounder howitzers), under Capt. Greene, R.A. (Two of these guns were manned by Madras gunners, and two by Seikhs.) Secondly—That Brigadier N. Wilson, with the 61th Regiment, was to hold the fort and establish a strong picquet at the Baptist Chapel on the extreme right. Thirdly—That Brigadier Carthow, with the 34th Regi ment, under Lieut.-Colonel Kelly, and four Madras guns, should hold the Bithoor road in advance of the Baptist Chapel, receiving support from the picquet there, if wanted. Fourthly— That, with the 88th Regiment under Lieut.- Colonel Maxwell, I should defend the portion of the town nearest the Ganges on the left of the canal, and support Colonel Walpole if required. The fighting on the 28th was very severe. On the left advance, Colonel Walpole, with the Rifles, supported by Captain Greene's battery, and part of the 82d Regiment, achieved a complete victory over the enemy, and captured two 18-pounder guns. The glory of this well-contested fight belongs entirely to the above-named companies, and artillery. It was owing to the gallantry of the men and •fficers, under the able leading of Colonel Walpole, and of my lamented relation, Lieutenant-Colonel Woodford, of the Rifle Brigade (who, I deeply regret to say, was killed), and of Lieut.-Colonel Watson, 821, and of Capt. Greene, R.A., that this hard contested fight was won and brought to so profitable an end. I had nothing to do with it, be yond sending them supports, and, at the end, of bringing some up myself. I repeat that the credit' is entirely due to the above mentioned officers and men. Brigadier Wilson thought proper, prompted by zeal for the service, to lead his regiment against four guns placed is front of Brigadier Carthew. In this daring exploit, I regret to say, he lost his life, together with several valuable and able officers. Major T. Stirling, 61th Regiment, was killed in spiking one of the guns, as was also that fine gallant young man, Capt. R. C. M`Cree, 64th Regiment, who acted as Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster-General to the force here. Capt. W. Morphey, 64th Regiment (the Brigade Major), also fell at the same time. Oar numbers were not sufficient to enable us to carry off the guns. Captain A. P. Bowlby, now the Senior Officer of the 64th Regiment, distinguished himself, as did also Captain H. F. Saunders,•of the 70th Regiment, who was attached to the 6ith, and is Senior to Captain Bowlby, whose con duct he describes as most devoted and gallant; as was also that of the men of the regiment. Brigadier Carthew, of the Madras Native Infantry, had a most severe and strong contest with the enemy, from morning till night ; but I regret to add, that he felt him self obliged to retire at dark. Daring the night of the 28th inst., the enemy occupied the town, and on the morning of the 29th commenced bom barding my entrenchments with a few guns, and struck the bridge of boats several times. The guns mounted in the fort were superior in number to those of the enemy, and were well manned, throughout the day, by the officers, non-commissioned officers, and sea of the Royal Artillery, seamen of the Shannon, Ma dras and Bengal gunners, and Sikhs. The chief outwork was occupied by the Rifle Brigade, and in the course of the afternoon, by your Excellency's instructions, they were advanced, and gallantly drove the mutineers out of that portion of the city nearest to our works, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Fyers, who was supported by Col. Walpole. Throughout the short period I have had the temporary command of this division, I have received, both in the field and elsewhere, the most important assistance from Capt. H. Bruce, sth Punjaub Cavalry. Without him I should have been at a groat loss for reliable information, and although I am aware that your excellency is not igno rant of his abilities, courage, and assiduity, I think it my duty to make this mention of his service to the country. Pressed as I am by the operations now going forward, 1 am not able to specify the services of every individual who has assisted me, where all have behaved so well. I have no Staff of my own, except Capt. Roger 8 wire, of the 17th Foot, my Aide-de-Camp, who has behaved with his usual zeal and courage. - I therefore hope I may be allowed to thank, through your Excellency, the undermentioned officers, for the great services they have voluntarily rendered me daring this trying time : SPECIALLY—Major-General J. E. Dupuis, C. 8., Com manding Royal Artillery in India ; Lieutenant-Colonel J. Adye, C.B. Assistant Adjutant-General, Royal Artillery; Lieutenant -Colonel H. D. Harness, Commanding Royal Engineers; and Major N. M‘Leod, Bengal Engineers. Lieutenant-Colonel John Simpson, 34th Regiment. Senior-Surgeon R. C. Elliot, C. 8., Royal Artillery. Captain John Gordon, 82d Regiment. Captain Sarsfield Greene, Royal Artillery. Captain Smyth, Bengal Artillery. There are several other officers in addition, who I fortunately found detained here, en route to join your Excellency's force, and I beg to submit their names, viz. : Captain R. G. Brackenbury, 61st Regiment. Lieutenant Arthur Henley, 524 Light Infantry. . Lieutenant Vafentine Ryan, 64th Regiment. Captain Ellis Cunliffe, let Bengal Fusiliers. Lieutenant E. H. Budgen, 82d Regiment (to whom I gave the command of the 100 mounted Sowars.) Captain C. E. Mansfield, 3341 Regiment. Lieutenant P. Scratchley, Royal Engineers. Lieutenant W. C. Milne, 74th Bengal N.I. I beg to inform your Excellency that I have called for nominal returns of the killed and wounded, and I have also directed all officers commanding corps, regiments, and batteries, &c., to forward to me the names of any officers, non-commissioned officers, or soldiers, who may have espe cially distinguished themselves by gallantry in the field, which shall be forwarded to your Excellency without delay. In conclusion, I hope I may be permitted to express my sincere thanks to all the regimental officers, non-commis sioned officers, and mon, for the zeal, gallantry, and courage with which they have carried out my orders dur ing the four days of harassing actions which have succes sively taken place in the defence of this important strategic centre of present operations. I beg to forward the enclosed despatch, which I have received from Major-General Dupuis, and I have called upon the various officers commanding corps, &c., to for ward me the names of any officers they may wish to recom mend, which I will send to your Excellency as soon as 1 receive them.—l have, Ste., C. A. WINDHAM, Major-General. No. 4. Major-General Dupuis to Major-General C. A. Windham, C. 8., Commanding the Cawnpore Division. Cawnpore, November 30th, 1557. Sir,—Without entering into any detail of the opera tions carried on by the force under your command, on the 26th, 27th, 28th, and 29th inst. which I consider un necessary, as you were present the whole time, yet I feel it my duty to bring to your notice the excellent of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men, both of the Royal and Bengal Artillery, whom you placed under my command. Lieutenant Oliver, R.A., who was in command of a hastily equipped battery of two 9-pounders and two 24- pounder howitzers, manned by a few Royal Artillery and Bengal Gunners, and some Seikhs, did his best to bring his guns into action on the first day's operations on the Pan doo River ; yet, from his extreme inexperience, I thought it better to place my Aide-de-Camp, Captain Sarafield Greene, R.A., in command, and I beg to bring to your notice the admirable manner in which he directed and fought the guns at the close of the day. On the 27th he supported the Rifle Brigade and the 88th Connaught Rangers, and as our force retired, he assisted to protect the retreat. Again, on the 28th, he supported Colonel Walpole, and the Rifle Brigade, on the advance on the left, and assisted materially in the capture of two 4. 11 8- P h ouuder guns. On the 29th he commanded four guns ?altlsacheddi i_ ni t meafnorte., Lieut. Chamier, of the Madras Artillery, who :lotetboixo force et under Brigadier pe r rm e c d ar his th duties ew.

On the afternoon of the stb, about 3 p.m., the enemy 11. LIE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVE NING, JANUARY 30, 1850. attacked our le ft picquets with artillery, and showed in fantry round c ,ur left flank. A desultor y fire was also begun on our picquets in the General Gang, which is an old bazaar of very con siderable extent along the canal, in front of the line occu pied by the cam p. These advance, d positions had been held, since our arrival. by Brigadier Gre k athed's brigade with great firmness, the Brigadier having displayed his usual judgment in their arrangement and a npport. On two or three occasions he had been supported by Captain Peel's heavy grins and Cap-: tain Bonrchier's field battery, when the artillery of the enem y had annoyer I him, and the general front of the , camp. After two hours of cannonading, the enemy retired on the afternoon in ques lion. Arrangements were then made for a general attack on him the xext day. His left occupied. the old cantonment, from which General Windham's post had been principally assailed. His centre was in that city of Cawnpore, and lined the. houses and bazaars overhanging the canal, which separated] it from Brigadier Greathed's position, the principal: streets having been afterwards discovered to be barri caded. His right stretched some way beyond the angle formed by the Grand Trunk Road and the Canal, two mileS in rear' of which the camp of the Gwalior Contingent was pitched, and so covered the Ca'pee road. This was the line of retreat of that bedy. In short, the canal, along which were placed his centre and right, was the main feature of his position, and could only be passed in the latter direction by two bridges. It appeared to me, if his right were vigorously attacked, that it would be driven from its position without assist. ante coming from other parts of his line, the wall of the town, which gave shelter to our attacking columns on our right, being an effective obstacle to the movement of any portion of his troops from his left to right. Thus the possibility became apparent of attacking his division in detail. . . From intelligence received, before and after the action, there seems to be little doubt that, in consequence of the arrival of the four regiments from Oude, and the gathering of various mutinous corps which had suffered in previous actions, as well as the assemblage of all the Nana's followers, the strength of the enemy now amounted to about 25,000 men, with all the guns belonging to the contingent, some (36) thirty-sir in number, together with a few guns belonging to the Nana. Orders were given to General Windham, on the morn ing of the 6th, to open a heavy bombardment at 9 a.m. from the entrenchment in the old cantonment, and so induce the belief in the enemy that the attack was coming from the General's position. The camp was struck early, and all the baggage driven down to the river side under a guard, to avoid the slightest risk of accident. -. Brigadier Greathead, reinforced by the 64th Regiment,* was desired to hold the same ground opposite the centre of the enemy, which he had been occupying for some days past, as above mentioned, and at 11 a.m. the rest of the force+ was drawn xi) in contiguous columns in rear of some old cavalry lines, and effectually masked from the obser vation of the enemy. The cannonade from the entrenchment having become slack at this time, the moment had arrived for the attack to commence. The cavalry and horse artillery having been sent to make a detour on the left and across the canal, by a bridge a mile and a half further up, and threaten the enemy's roar. The infantry deployed in parallel lines fronting the canal. -- 13rigadier Hope's Brigade was in advance in one lino, Brigadier Inglis 's Brigade being in rear of Brigadier Hope. At the same time Brigadier Walpole, assisted by Captain Smith's field battery, Royal Artillery, was directed to pass the bridge immediately to the left of Brigadier Greathed's position, and to drive the enemy from the brisk-kilns, keeping the wall of the city for his guide. The whole attack then proceeded, the enemy quickly responding from his proper right, to the fire of our heavy and field artillery. Good use was made of these guns by Captain Peel, C. 8., R.N., and the Artillery Officers under Major-General Dupuis, C. 8., 8.A., Brigadier Crawford, R A., and Major Turner, B.A. The Seikhs, of the 4th Punjaub Infantry, thrown into I skirmishing order, supportd by H.M.'s 53d Foot, attacked the enemy in some old mounds and brick-kilns to our left, with great vigour. The advance then continued with rapidity, along the whole line, and I had the satisfaction of observing, in the distance, that Brigadier Walpole was making equal pro gress on the right. The canal bridge was quickly passed, Capt. Peel leading over it with a heavy gun, accompanied by a soldier of Her Majesty's 53d, named Hannaford. The troops which had gathered together, resuming their line of formation with great rapidity on e ither side as soon as it was crossed, and continuing to drive the enemy at all points, his camp being reached and taken at 1 p.m., and his route being complete along the Calpee-road. I must here draw attention to the manner in which the heavy 24-pounder guns were impelled and managed by Captain Peel and his gallant sailors. Through the extraordinary energy and good-will with which the latter have worked, their guns have been con stantly in advance throughout our late operations, from the relief of Lucknow till now, as if they were light field pieces, and the service rendered by them in clearing our front has been incalculable. Oa this occasion there was the sight beheld of 24. pounder guns advancing with the first line of skirmishers. Without losing any time, the pursuit with cavalry, in fantry, and light artillery was pressed with the greatest eagerness to the 14th milestone on the Calpee road, and I have reason to believe that every gun and cart of ammuni tion, which had been in that part of the enemy's position, which had been attacked, now fell into our possession. I had the satisfaction of accompanying the troops en gaged in the pursuit, and of being able to bear witness to their strenuous endeavours to make the most of the suc cess which had been achieved. When I passed the camp and went forward on the Cal pee road, Major-General Mansfield was desired by me to make arrangements for the attack of the position called the Subadar's Tank, which extended round the left rear of the enemy's position in the old cantonments. A- this operation was a separate one, I bsg to inclose, for your Lordship's consideration, the Major-General's own narra tive. --. The troops having returned from the pursuit at midnight ou the 6th, and their baggage having reached them on the afternoon of the next day, Brigadier-General Grant was detached in pursuit on the Bth, with the cavalry, some light artillery, and a brigade of infantry, with orders to destroy public buildings belonging to the Nana Sahib at Bithoor, and to press on to Sergi Ghat, 25 miles from hence, if he had good tidings of the retreating enemy. This duty was admirably performed by the Bri gadier-General, and he caught the enemy when he was about to cross the river with his remaining guns. The Brigadier-General attacked him with great vigour, and by the excellent disposition he made of his force, suc ceeded in taking every gun the enemy possessed, without losing a single man. I have the pleasure to enclose the Brigadier-General's report foi your Lordship's perusal. It nbw remains for me to bring to your Lordship's notice, the officers who have distinguished themselves during the series of operations which have occurred under my own eyes, since this field force left the neighbourhood of Lucknow. I have a particular pleasure in again bringing to your Lordship's notice the zeal and great ability with which Major-General W. R. Mansfield, chief of the staff, has conducted the vary important duties of his high position, and of my obligations to him for the most valuable assist ance he has afforded me during the whole of the recent operations. I desire also to call your lordship's attention to the able and distinguished manner in whioh he con ducted the troops pliced under his orders, after the enemy's centre had been divided, to the attack of their strong position at the Subadar'a Tank, and to recommend to your lordship's favourable consideration the names of the officers who assisted him. I have to thank Brigadier-General Hope Grant, C. 8., very particularly for the admirable manner in which he has conducted thedutiesof the force and more particularly for his exertions on the 6th Dec., and the capital opera tions he performed on the Bth and 9th. The Brigadier- General speaks in the highest terms of his divisional and personal staff, viz., Capt. W. Hamilton, Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General ; Pent. F. S. Roberts, Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster-General ; Capt. the Hon. A. H. Hanson, Aide-de-Camp; Lieut. C. W. Havelock, Extra Aide-de- Camp ; and Capt. H. M, Wilson, Deputy Judge-Advocate General. I have the greatest satisfaction in bringing to your Lordship's notice Brigadiers Greathed, the Hon. A. Hope, Walpole, and Inglis. These officers have all exerted them selves to the utmost, and have fully justified my expecta tions. They desire to record their obligations to the offi cers commanding corps in their respective brigades, and to their brigade staff, as follows : Captain Hinde, her Majesty's Bth Regiment ; Lieut.- Colonel Wells, her Majesty's 231 Fusiliers; Major Lowe, Commanding her Majesty's 32d Regiment; Lieutenant. Colonel Kelly, her Majesty's 38th Regiment; Lieutenant ' Colonel Thorold, her Majesty's 42d Highlanders ; Colonel Faber, her Majesty's 53d Regiment ; Major Bingham, her Majesty's 64th Regiment ; Lieutenant-Colonel Hale, her Majesty's 82d Regiment; Lieutenant-Colonel Leith Hay, her Majesty's 93d Highlanders ; Lieutenant-Colonel Horsford, 3d Battalion Rifle Brigade • Lieutenant-Colonel Fyers, 2d Battalion Rifle Brigade; Captain Green, Com manding 2d Punjaub Infantry ; Lieutenant W.

Cox, Brigade Major 4th Brigade; Captain Lightfoot, Brigade Major sth Brigade ; Lieutenant C. A. Harwell, Brigade Major 6th Brigade. Owing to his knowledge of the ground, I requested Major-General Windham to remain in command of the entrenchment. the fire of which was a very important fea ture in the operations of the Gth December, although I felt and explained to General Windham, that it was a command hardly worthy of an officer of his rank. He gave me every satisfaction, and I have to thank him accord ingly. I must particularly notice the exertions of Captain H. W. Norman, Assistant Adjutant - General of the Army, of Captain Herbert Bruce, Deputy Quartermaster-General ; and of Captain J. H. Smyth, Bengal Artillery; the latter of whom has been requested by me to take command of the artillery in the entrenchment, as a special duty. a v a e n n d o tvaluabhadle rae r l cc e ou n rt d tit e ia r n, e go d fm o wy t h h e i r e h I greath approval. s o e p r C i c r p e t t oi s a i n i s n i i n t y B c e m b h e y f e t o h r l e e f h o t a f I desire also to bring to your lordship's favourable notice stohneal s officers on of myself o ontheGenerar Major-General General Staff' or-o or ei b ie e r l a o i ng m in a g ns to fie t l h d e Per- Captain 11.

Peel, C. 8., Rcyal Navy ; to Brigadier Crawford, Royal Artillery ; and to Major Turner, Bengal Horse Artillery. I cannot refrain from again drawing your lordship's most markel attention to the very distinguished merits of the last-aarned (Major Turner). As is always the case in the three services. the batteries and troops were manceuvred with remarkabb dexterity. Captain Peel has brought to my favourable notice Lieut. Vaughan, Royal Navy, and I should much wish that this recommendation may be known at the Admiralty ; and Brigadier Crawford has expressed his obligations t•o his Brigade Major, Capt. H. L. G. Bruce, Bengal Artillery, and has mentioned with marked distinction all the officers holding commands, viz., Captain Travers, Commanding Royal Artillery ; Captains Remmington and Blunt, Corn mandin. Troops of Bengal Horse Artil!ery ; Captains Middleton and Smith, Royal Artillery ; and Cap tain Bourchier, Bengal Artillery, Commanding Light Field Batteries; Captain Longden, Royal Artillery, Commanding a heavy battery ; and Lieutenant Bridge, commanding two gates, Madras Horse Artillery. Major-General Dupuis, C. 8., Royal Artillery, command ing the artillery during the action, in ccnsequence of his accidental presence in camp, and I beg to thank him for his exertions as well as those of his staff, viz., Lieutenant- Colonel Adye, C. 8., R.A., Assistant-Adjutant-General, and Captain Greene, R.A., Aide-de-Camp. Colonel Harness, Royal Engineers, was also present in the same manner, and accompanied me throughout the action. General Graut has also brought to my notice the dis tinguished conduct of Brigadier Little, commanding the cavalry, as also of Officers commanding corps in that Brigade and its Staff Officers, viz. : Major Ouvry, 9th Lancers; Lieut. Watson, let Punjaub Cavalry; Lieut. Probyn, 2d Puejaub Cavalry; Lieut. Younghusband, sth Punjaub Cavalry; Lieut. G. cough, Hodson's Horse; and Captain H. A. Sarel, Major of Bri gade. During the pursuit of the 6th, and the operation of the 9th, the cavalry maintained that high character for dash and perseverance, which have distinguished them since they took the field, in the numerous engagements of their ling campaign. I desire also to mention Major Payne, of the 53d Regi ment, whom I saw performing very valuable service dur ing the first advance on the 6th inst. I must not allow this opportunity to pass without bear ing my testimony to the unwearied zeal and assiduity of the Superintending Surgeon, Doctor J. C. Brown, Ben gal Artillery, which have never flagged for an instant, and have been of the greatest use to the force in the field from the time the troops first took the field before going to Delhi. I beg to recommend him most particularly to your Lord ship's favourable consideration. Annexed are returns of killed and wounded, and of captured ordnance, as well as a sketch of the ground. I have, dro. C. CAMPBELL, General, Commanding-in-Chief. Major-General W. Mansfield to the Commander-in-Chief. Headquarters Camp, Cawnpore, Dec. 10, 1857. Sir,—ln obedience to your Excellency's instructions, when I left your side after the capture of the enemy's camp, on the afternoon of Dec. 6, I proceeded to make the arrangements for taking the position called the Snbadar's Tank, in rear of the enemy's left, and about a mile and a half in a direct line from the entrenchments through the old cantonments. Before advancing measures were taken for the safeguard of the captured camp, Col. Kelly, with a wing of 38th Foot, being placed in position for that purpose, in addition to the 23d Regiment, which had already been left there by your Excellency. These two regiments repelled an attack in the course of the afternoon, and took two guns from the enemy. The 03d Highlanders, who had been placed on the grand trunk road, beyond the camp to the left, at the time that your Excellency gave the ord ers f or press i ng th e p ursu it o f the enemy along the Calpee r oa d , were now, at 2 p.m., beginning to suffer from th e enemy ' s guns, w hi c h were i n position about 1,000 yards i n t h e i r f ron t, i n th e elide. sores between them and the Tank. Thee were advanced a short distance with Capt. Middle ton's Field Battery, R.A., which answered the enemy's guns, until the Rifle Brigade under Brigadier Walpole, and the heavy field battery under Capt. Longden, R.A., ' could be brought up. In the course of half-an-hour this had taken place, and the heavy field battery pushed along the road intersecting the Grand Trunk Road a b ou t a mile to th e l e ft o f the enemy's camp, and leading directly to the old cantonment. The Rifles were extended in skirmishing order some 3)0 yards on each side of the road slightly in advance of the heavy guns, the Highlanders being kept in reserve. These arrangements having been made, the advance took place, and the enemy began to give way immediately, suc cessive positions being taken up and a rapid fire maintained by Captain Longden and Captain Middleton, of the Royal Artillery, the Rifles passing through the enclosures to the right, and the broken ground to the left of the road, with much spirit, under the able directions of Brigadier Wilson. On the entrance of the village being reached, which may be distinguished as the soldier's burial-ground, although the enclosures were still held to a certain degree by the enemy, it appeared to me expedient to push the field battery through the village at a gallop, and take position in the plain, with the tank on the right, the infantry being de sired to press forward as fast as they could. This was done very well by Capt. Middleton, R.A., and he had the satisfaction of firing at the enemy's guns as they disappeared along the Bithoor road, whilst the Rifles were still running up to his support. The position was then fairly occupied. Brigadier Hope coaling up with the reserve of Highlanders and taking charge of the picquets which were thrown out on the line of the enemy's retreat. About 4 p.m. the position which had been taken was attacked by artillery, brought by the enemy from the old cantonment. These guns might have been taken ; but I refrained from giving the necessary order, being aware that it was contrary to your Excellency's wish to involve the troops among the enclosures and houses of the old cautonmentsx!and that, if the slightest advance had been made in that7quarter, it would have been necessary, at whatever logs, to make no stop till the entrenchment should have been reached. When Capt. Longden's an:l Capt. Middleton's batteries had almost succeeded in silencing the enemy's fire, the position was attacked by some guns of the enemy from the broken ground of the plain on exactly the opposite side. They could not be seen, except by their smoke. They were, however, answered quickly, and all tie men and field hospital, dec., having been put under tolerable cover, no harm was suffered by the troops in consequence of this attack. At dusk I had the satisfaction of seeing large bodies of the enemy's infantry and cavalry move round to the west of the position about a mile distant in fall retreat, It not being possible to communicate with your Excellency after sunset, the position taken up being almost isolated, and as reported to me, there being con s id era bl e num b ers of the enemy still in occupation of the town and old can tonment, the picquets all round the position were slightly strengthened, and the troops bivouacked by their arms. Everything having been quiet during the night the Highlanders were withdrawn the next morning and re placed by the 38th Foot un der y our Excellency's orders. r a e n a d te t s o t m u ye aide-de-camp, to me till h o T e My thanks are eminently due to Brigadier Walpole, who commanded the advance , a nd Br igadier Hope, command ing the reserve; to Captains Mid dleton and Longden, cone mbatteriesofa sof h artillery,tela a Capt. s ndi M" unfortunately th n s e ti a `Mansfield, who w s everely wounded, g after th e guns h ad passed the village. Capt. Herbert Bruce, deputy quartermaster -general, whose merits are so highly considered by your Excellency, distinguished himself very much by his knowledge and ap preciation of the ground, and was the cause of my being able to direct the troops with tolerable certainty. The brigadiers report very highly on the conduct of the officers commanding corps, viz. : Lieut.-Col. A. S. L. Hay, 03d Highlanders. Lieut.-Col. Horsford, 3d Battalion Rifle Brigade. Brevet Lieut.-Col. Fyors, 2d Battalion Rifle Brigade. I have, &c. W. AIANSFIELD, Major-General, Chief of the Staff. Brigadier Hopo Grant to Major-General Idataifield, Chie of the Staff. Camp, Serai Ghat, Dee, 11, 1857. Sir,—At mid-day on the Bth inst., having received his Excellency the Commander in -Chief's orders, through you, in b er o f guns had been taken to this ghat. to march to Bithoor, and if I thought advisable or heard of learn on the road I had reason to believe that any of the rebels' gun* rbeeionng the teSerai Ghat, a ferry about 25 miles above Cawnpo , Ganges to proceed there, I started with the force named 1n the margin,* and from a wh ce a r t t l ai Towards evening I halted the force, and directed the men to have their dinners. I then proceeded on to Soorajpure, a c n ou i l in d village on the road within three miles of Serai Ghat, where I halted the force until daylight. I then collected the baggage and had it placed in a safe epot'covered by a por tion of artillery, cavalry and infantry, I moved the remainder within about two miles of the Ghat, when I proceeded to reconnoitre with a party of the 9th Lancers, and found on the banks of the river a force assembled, and horsemen and Sepoys with baggage mov ing down towards the spot. I immediately ordered up the cava lry and guns ; but the roads under the banks of the river was of such a nature, from the qui c k san d s , th a t th e h eav y 9-pounders of Capt. Middleton's battery, orawn by tired horse, ran great risk of being altogether stopped, and it was only through the ha r d exertions and praiseworthy conduct of Capt. Middleton, Lieut. Millman in command of the battery, and the men, that the guns were got through. An 18-pounder of the enemy was here discovered fixed in the quicksand, 2 guns of the field battery having got over this difficulty, and on to the dry bank of the river, soon got into position, and under a very severe fire from 13 of the rebels guns, Lieut. Millman brought his guns into play. Soon after, Capt. Remmington's t ro op galloped up, and took up a most admirable position, covered by the bank of a ditch, openi ng of the enemy a flanking fire, which, together with the remainder of the field battery, now came up in half-an-hour's time, completely silenced the enemy's fire, and put them in full retreat. A. force of the rebels' cavalry upon this came up to try and take our guns, but th e 9th Lancers, under Major Ouvry ; the sth Ponjanb Horse under Lieut. Yomighus band ; and Hods on ' s Hoiae under Lieut. Gough — the whole commanded by Brigadier dier Little, advanced upon them, drove them away, and Lieut. Younghusband, who was sent out in pursuit of them, cut up some 80 or 9 J stragglers, and to o k th ree standard's. The movement of our cavalry towards the rear of the enemy no doubt had the effect of hurrying ' their retreat from their guns; but the ground was of such a nature as to Prevent the possibility of getting at them before they had got under cover of t rees and houses. The infantry br igade, tinder Brigadier the Hon. Adrian Hope, was of great use in supporting the • advance of the cavalry ; but before they reac h e d the ground the enemy ere in retreat, As soon as possible, I sent up the Sikh infantry to secure the guns, and am h appy to say 14 brass guns an d 1 18- ponn.lir, with li m b ers, waggons, SLe , and a large quantity of ammunition, wer e t a k en. * The success was complete, and I am truly grateful toGod, well- ,1 Iced falling amongst th e artiller y and happy to say, th ough the fire of grape f rom the enemy was most severe and ell like hail, I had not a singl e man even wounded , and onl y ono horse of Capt. Middl eton ' s battery kill e d. It was truly marvellous and provid ent i al. 13 guns, mos t of the nine p pounders and 24-pounder howitzers, were playing with grape o f the gallant artillery, and with round shot upon the cavalry, the former within about 500 yards— and his Ex- * Ist troop Ist brigade Horse Artillery, S 3 Men, 5 guns ; 7th company, 14th batt a li on Royal Artillery, 139 men, gnus ; 9th Lancers, 327 men :sth Punjaub Cavalry , 85 men ; HOdSOII ' S Horse, 109 meu . 4th B r i ga de -42d Highlanders, 403 men ; 52d Foot, 413 men ; 93d Highlanders, 806 men ; 4th Punjaub Rifles, 332 men; Sappers, 100 men.

G. Nam, commanding cavalry. cellency is well aware with what precision these rebels fire their guns—and yet not one single man was wounded. I gave directions at once to remove everything from the spot, and the Highlanders, 53:1 Regiment, and Sikhs, with a most praiseworthy zeal and activity, brought off ell the guns, waggons, &c., from the quicksands, beyond which they had been placed. The troops had been marching since ouo o'clock on the Sth, with occasional halts ; and the moving in of the guns to a position I bad taken up for them, within about three-quarters of a mild of the camp, was not accompanied till dusk the following day. They had little to eat or drink for nearly 21 hours; bat there was not a complaint. I beg to request you will lay the names of the undermen tioned officers before his Excellency the Commander-in- Chief :—Captain Middleton, who commanded the whole of the artillery, rendered the greatest services, both in the action and in the moving of the guns'; Lieut. Milman, who commanded the battery; Captain Remmington, who worked his guns admirably, and who was most zealous in giving every assistance to Captain Middleton ; Brigadier A. Little, to whom I was much indebted for his cavalry support to the guns, and for tho way in which he brought his force to the front on the advance of the enemy. Major ,Ouvry, commanding the 9th Lancers; a most active and zealous officer. Lieutenant Younghusband, commanding sth Punjaub Cavalry, and Lieutenant Gough, commanding Hodson's Horse ; to all of whom my thanks are duo for the very able way in which they commanded their regiments. Lieutenant Malcolm, commanding the Royal Engineers, and Lieutenant Forbes, commanding the Bengal Enni neers, who, with their men, executed the work entrusted to them with great ability and zeal. Brigadier the Hon. A. Hope, commanding the infantry brigade, was of the greatest possible assistance, and be haved with his usual well-known gallantry. Lieut.-Col. Thorold, commanding 42d Highlanders ; Col. Faber, commanding 53d Regt.; Lieut.-Col. Heath Hay, commanding 93d Highlanders; and Capt. Ryves, commanding 4th Punjaub Infantry. My thanks are also due to those officers for the able man ner in which they commanded their regiments :—Captain M`Leod, 42d Highlanders, commanding the rear-guard ; Lieutenant Smith, commanding two 9 pounder guns, who performed the duties entrusted to them to my satis faction. Captain Anderson, ex-commissariat officer, whose duties were very severe, and Captain Carey, deputy-assis tant quartermaster-general, were most attentive and zealous. Captain Sarel, brigade-major of cavalry, Captain Cox, brigade-major of infantry, deserve my warmest ap probation. Captain the Hon. G. A. Anson, nay aide-de camp, afforded me on this, as on every other occasion, the greatest assistance ; Lieut. Havelock, extra aide-de-camp, was very useful. Brigadier the Hon. A. Hope talks in the highest strains of Lieut. A. Butler, 93d Highlanders, his acting aide-de camp. Captain Bruce, head of the Intelli gence Department, rendered me very great assistance in procuring information regarding the movements of the enemy.—l have, LOPE GRANT, Brigadier-General, Commanding Force.

Camp, Hanle*, Nov. 23. Sir,—l have the honour to forward, for the information of the Chief Commissioner, copy of a report, by Captain Stafford, commanding a detachmentof my force, regarding the action of the 16th inst., at Narnoal, under Lieut.- Colonel Gerrard with the Joudhpoor mutineers and other rebels. The whole of the troops, and especially the cavalry, seem to have behaved remarkably well. The enemy were completely defeated, and the whole of their guns taken. Captain Bloomfield was left unwell at Kanond, and the command of the 23d Punjaub Infantry devolved on Lieu tenant Hunt in this engagement. —I hare, &c., H. C. VAN CORTLA.ND, Commanding Hurrianah Field Force. Camp, Naznoal, Nor. 18, 1857. Sir,—For the information of Captain J. P. Caulfield, commanding moveable column* I have the honour to re port the part which the force under my immediate com mand took in the engagement of the 16th instant, at Nartoul, with the Joudhpoor Legion and other rebels. When we had passed the village of Nusseerpoor, about a quarter of a mile from the enomy'e position, the force, in obedience to Lieut.-Colonel J. G. Gerrard's orders, ad vanced at deploying distance, 23d Punjaub Infantry on the right, guns in the centre, and Putteeala Infantry on the left, the cavalry being on the extreme left. The force was soon directed to deploy, and the advance was ordered. After two of the enemy's guns were taken, the advance still continued in the same order until we came to the dry bed of a river. Lieut. G. G. Pearce com manding cavalry of the Hurrianah force, was, I much re gret to say, hero wounded in two places, and the commi.ud devolved upon Lieut, R. A. Hamilton. The guns being unable to cross the Nullah, they diverged to the right and took up 'a position near the Horse Artillery guns, whilst the 23d Punjaulgnfantry and Putteroala Infantry, in com pany with the Ist Fusiliers, crossed and advanced towards the enemy's camp, which was soon taken, two guns falling into our possession. By order of Captain Caulfield, the infantry under my command returned to whore our guns were in position. Some time after this, and when the rebels had returned to their camp, and commenced firing round shot at ns with one of the guns which had been pre viously taken, I was directed to re-occupy the camp with two companies of the let Fusiliers and two companies of the Punjaub Infantry ; some cavalry, with which Lieut. Hamilton was, having been despatched to the left, to follow up the mutineers when routed. The camp was attacked in flank, and the gun which had been annoying us was gallantly ehargt d 1 taken by the let Fusiliers, led by Lieut, Warner. The guns were ordered to be re moved, and the infantry was directed to remain in the e nemy's camp. I was (sic) returned to where the remain der of my force was, awl shortly afterwards the serai was taken possession. My very best thanks are due to all, but more especially to Lieuts. Pearse and Hamilton comman ding the caextry; Liout. Hunt, commanding 23d Punjaub Infantry ; Lieut. Halcott, commanding A rtillery, and whose gunners, lately embodied, behaved remarkably well. My th nks are also due to Sub-Assistant-Surgeon, P. A-. Minas, in me dical charge, for his attention to the wounded. Lieut. Hunt makes favourable mention of Lieut.
