I am now diretied by General Smith to acquaint yon, for the informa tion of His Excellency the Most Noble the Go vernor-General, that he marched from Ratnpoor this morning with the intention of preventing the reported design of Meer Khan to proceed to' Ba reilly. By the intelligence which General Smith has received, Meer Khan has not proceeded far to the southward' of Ro,derpoor ; but has with his sorambling Troops got into a Country which is al most impenetrable to this Army. The Detach ment met with considerable obstacles from the na ture of the ground in the . march of this day ;, under these circumstances, it is probable that Major-Ge neral 'Smith may not think it adviseable to con tinue the pursuit of- Meer Khan into the difficult Country under the hills.' In that case, General Smith will occupy a 'position by which he will be enabled to cover. Baredly, Moradabad, and Pillipeet, to maintain a strict watch upon the condat of such as may be dissatisfied in Rohilctincl, and to continue the pursuit of Meer Khan s as Soon as ha quits the swampy interr;eeted country In which he at present is : It is the intention of General Smith to take the earliest opportunity of resuming the pursuit of the freebooters, and of destroying them, or driving them beyond the boundaries of the British dominions.

Whatever views he might originally have formed of ekeiting a gent r:il insarre6tion among the .11ohillas, appear to leave, been eenipletely ,disappointed:. The, presence ,of this detachment in aohilcund. has checked the 'spirit of :revolt. where it may have. existed, and has encouraged all these who are well affeCied to the British' Government. l‘lcer Khan, &bin every, thitig Which lies within General Sinith!s ,knowledge,, is despised by all the Robillas Of rank and charaaer,. os a inan.of birth, , as a freeboater, and as a fugitive. The mild System of the BritiSh Government, and the esteem, attach ment, and reverence with Which the CharOler of Mr. Seton is regarded. by all the Natives of these provinces; have contributed, in au eminent degreo, to the preservation of -tranquillity.

The storming party, under the orders Of ,Lieut.- Colonel Don, was'formed of the greater part of the European force belonging to the Bengal Army, and three battalions of Sepoys. - • .- , One column, composed o 200 of His Majesty's 86th Regiment, from the ornbay division and the i f ist battalion Bth Regitnen Bengal NatiVe Infantry, • under Captain Grant, of the former 'corps, was or dered to attack the Enemy's trenches and guns out side the town, whilst a third column, composed of .300 men of His Majesty's 65th Regiment, and two battaliOns of Bombay Sepoys, marched to attack the 1 Beem Narain Gate, which, from every report I had, received, was easy of access for guns, &c. 'The signal for the storming party to move out was the commencement of Captain Grant's attack. on the enemy's trenches, which took place a little' before four o'clock in the afternoon. Capt. Grant's column was completely successful, and got iminediate possesSion of the enemy's guns, eleVen. in number, all of which have been brought into camp. The gallant conduel of Cal t. Grant and his party merits every praiie. - I am sorry to say that neither of the other Co lumns succeeded. Lieutenant-Colonel Dbn's was unfortunately delayed by some unexpeded circum stances,: and on its arrival at the ditch, it was found to contain such a depth of water as to render it impossible to gain the breach. The Troops im mediately attempted to ascend by the bastion, but the obstacles they met .with were of so serious a nature,: that their utmost eflbrts were unsuccessful, though the ,colour4 ,of the 1 2th NatiVe Infantry were planted within -a short distance' of the top. The columh from the „Bombay division, under Lieut,-Col. Taylor, notwithstanding every exertion, could note fed their object. They were very con siderably delayed on their march by a large body of the enemy's horse; '.and, by a mistake on. the part of their guide, were very early exposed to a most heavy and destrualve fire from the town, which, by destroying their ladders, rendered the attempt on the gate impraCticable, and obliged Lieut,-Colonel Taylor to draw his Men under cover, ,until he lv, Ceived orddrs to return to camp. ' • ' I feel it my duty. to assure . your Lordship, that though unfortunately not crowned with success, the 1 exertions of Col. Don were Meritorious and gallant in the extreme, and I feel under infinite obligations to this Otficen • . I have the Honour to be, my Lord, • • ..- Your Lordship's most faithful humble. Servant, ' . (Signed) G. LAKE. Heaci•Quarters, Camp before Illiuttporo, Feb. zi t iSos.; His Excellency the Most Noble Marquis Wat.t.ttp.., Cavcrnor-General s see_ • Low) _ . . My dispatch of yesterday's date will have con veyed to your Lordship intelligence . of our want of success in a fourth attempt made to carry this place by assault. As it appeared that our failure on the. 20th was to be accounted for, in a great measure, by .the occurrence of unexpeaed accidents and delays, as part of the corps who formed the storming party had surmounted the principal difficulty, and had, nearly gained the summit of the bastion, where I was infortned a few hours more battering would render the ascent perfeolly easy, I determined to make another attempt yesterday. The party for this service consisted of the whole European' force, and. two battalions of Native In fantry of the Bengal Army, and the greater part of His Majesty's °nth and Stith regiments, and - the grenadier battalion and flank companies of the t'st battalion ad regiment, from the Bombay Division. The whole moved on to the attack about 3 o'clock in. the afternoon, under the command of • the Hon. Brigadier Monson. The troops, most confident of success, com menced the attack, and persevered in it for a consi derable length of time, with the most determined bravery ; but their utmost exertions were not suf ficient to enable them to gain the top of the breach. The bastion, which was the point of at tack, was extremely, steep, the resistance opposed to them was vigorous, ,and 'as our men could only mount by small parties at a time, the advantages were very great on the side of the enemy. Dis charp;es of grape, logs of wood, and pots filled with cointam,tible materials, immediately knOcked down those who were ascending, and the - whole party, alter being engaged in an obstinate contest for two hours, and suffering very severe loss, were obliged to relincpdah the' attempt, and retire to our trenches. I have to lament the loss of very many gallant Officers and Men, as will appear to your Lordship by the accompanying return of killed and wounded on thiS occasion.- It is with sincere grief I inform your Lordship, that among the killed is my Aide-de-Camp, Major Menzies, of His Majesty's soth Resitnent, who pro ceeded with the storming party, and fell, whilst among the foremost, he was making the most he roic exertions to ascend the breach. I feel sincere sorrow tier his loss, no less on account of the great regard I entertained for his private worth, than irom the high estimation in which I held his merits as an Officer. The Hon.' Colonel Monson, to whom the con• dua of the attack was entrusted, made every pos sible eitertioni and lies received my bed thanks for his Uncommon g4lantry and perseverance on that occasion. Th(,illir,h the troops were unable to effeet their oh jet, ant happy to assure your Lordship that they have on no occasion displayed greateT steadiness. — Those of the Bengal Army supported the in it fora chriraaer, and thue Tiornbay Division displayed a de gree (Jf resolution an& discipline, - which entitles themr.q my highest praise and apprqbatien.
