To the Quartermaster-General the service is much indebted, to the judgment and zeal which mark all the proceedings of that officer, and the Governor-General offers his acknowledg ments to him, to the Deputy Quartermaster-General, Lieut.- Colonel Drummond, and the officers of that department. To Lieutenant-Colonel Barr, Acting Adjutant-General, and to Lieutenant-Colonel Gough, Acting Quartermaster- General (Queen's service), the Governor-General's thanks are due. He regrets the temporary deprivation of the services of these officers by the wounds they have received. To Lieutenant-Colonel Birch, Judge Advocate-General, the Governor-General again has to repeat his thanks for his intelligence and gallantry. To Lieutenant-Colonel Havelock Persian interpreter, the Governor-General offers his best thanks. _ _ The Governor-General — desires to record his obligations to Count Ravensburgh and to the officers of his Royal High ness's staff, Count . Oriole and Count Greuben. This gallant and amiable Prince, with his brave associates of the Prussian army, has shared all the dangers, and secured for himself the respect and admiration of the British army; and the Go vernor-General begs to convey to his Royal Highness and his staff his cordial thanks for the ready offers of their services on the field of battle. The Governor-General has now to acknowledge the ser vices rendered by the officers attached to his own staff. He retews to lieutenant-Colonel Benson, of the Military Board, his strong sense of the important services rendered by that officer during the whole of this campaign, whose general information in military details and cool judgment in action deserve this acknowledgment. Lieutenant-Colonel Wood, the Governor-General's military secretary, displayed on the 10th inst. the same intelligence and gallantry as on former occasions. Alskj..r Lawrence; the G.varnor-General's Political Agent, has throughout these operations afforded most useful assist ance by his ability, zeal, and activity in the field, as well as on every other occasion. Captain Mills, Assistant Political Agent and Honorary Aide-de-Camp to the Governor-General, has shown the most unwearied devotion to the services as well in the field as in the exercise of his personal influence in the protected Seikh states. 4 The Governor-General's thanks are also due to Captain Cunningham, of the Engineers, Assistant Political Agent. The Governor-Generil's Aides-de-Camp, Captain — Grant, Lord Arthur Hay, Captain Peel, and Captain Hardinge, by their gallantry and intelligence rendered themselves most useful: . In the operations:of this campaign, in which officers of the civil service have accompanied the camp and participated in the risks incidental to active warfare, the Governor-General's thanks are due for their readiness in enceuntering these risks and their endurance of privations. The Governor- General acknowledges the able assistance he had at all times received from the Political secretary, F. Currie, Esq. His acknowledgments are also due to his private secretary, C. Hardinge, Esq., and to the Assistant Political Agent, R. Oust, Esq. Lieutenant-Colonel Parsons, Deputy Commissary-General, has succeeded in keeping the army well supplied, and the Go vernor-General is much satisfied with his exertions and those of the officers under his command. The army took the field under circumstances of great difficulty, and by stre nuous exertions and good arrangements on the part of the Lieutenant-Colonel, the army has now a large supply in re serve, a result very creditable to the chief of the Commis sariat Department. The manner in which Captain Johnson has conducted the Commissiariat duties entrusted to him has also met with the Governor-General's approbation. To Dr. Macleod, Superintending-Surgeon, and to Dr. Gra ham, as well as to the officers of the Medical Department generally, the Governor-General offers his acknowledgments. His thanks are due to Dr. Walker, Surgeon to the Go. vernor•General, whose ability is only to be equalled by his seal and humanity. A salute of twelve guns will be fired in celebration of the victory of Sobraon at all the usual stations of the army. By order of the Right Hon. the Governor-General of India, F.

THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA, &c. Right Hon. Sir,—This is the fourth dispatch which I have had the honour of addressing to you since the opening of the campaign. Thanks to Almighty God, whose hand I desire to acknowledge in all our successes, the occasion of my writing now is to announce a fourth and most glorious and decisive victory ! My last communication detailed the. movements of the Seikhs and our counter-manoeuvres since the great dal , of Ferozeshah. Defeated en the Upper Sutlej, the enemy con • tinued to occupy his position on the rightba le nk et abnadnk of fo r inichtble Me de pont and entrenchments on the the river in front of the ntain body of our army. But on the 10th instant, all that he held of British territory, IN Itich was comprised in the ground on which one Of his camps stood, was stormed from his grasp, and his audacity was again sig nally punished by a blow, sudden, heavy, and overwhelming. It is my gr-itifying duty to detail the measures which have led to this glorious result. The enemy's works had been repeatedly reconnoitred dur ing the tune of my head-quarters being fixed at Nihalkee, by myself,. by my departmental staff, and my engineer and artillery officers. Our observations, coupled with the re ports of spies, convinced us that there had devolved on us the arduous task of attacking, in a position covered with formidable intrenchments, not fewer than 30,000 men, the best of the Khalsa troops, with 70 pieces of cannon, united by a 03od bridge to a reserve on the opposite bank, on which the enemy had a considerable camp and some ar tillery, commanding and flanking his field works on our side. Major-General Sir Harry Smith's division having rejoined me on the evening of the Bth, and part of my siege train having come up with me, I resolved, on the morning of the 10th, to dispose our mortars and battering guns on the alluvial land within good range of the enemy's works. To enable us to do this, it was necessary first to drive in the enemy's pickets at the post of observation in front of Koodeewalla, and at the little Sobraon. It was directed that this should be done during the night of the 9th, but the execution of this part of the plan was deferred owing to misconceptions and casual circumstances until near daybreak. The delay was of little importance, as the event showed that the Seikhs had followed our example in oc • copying the two posts in force by day only. Of both, there fore, possession was taken without opposition. The batter ing and disposed field artillery was then put in position in an extended semicircle, embracing within its fire the works of the Seikhs. It had intended that the cannonade should have commenced at daybreak; but so heavy a mist hung over the plain and river, that it became necessary to watt until the rays of the sun had penetrated it and cleared the atmosphere. Meanwhile, on the margin of the Sutlej on our left, two brigades of Major-General Sir R. Dick's division, under his personal command, stood ready to commence the assault , against the enemy's extreme right. His 7th brigade, in which was the 10th Foot, reinforced by the 53d Foot, an e, d . li by Brigadier Stacey, was to head the attack, supported at 200 yards distance by the 6th brigade under Brigadier Nrl kHinensonT..

DEFEAT OF THE SEIKHS, WITH IMMENSE LOSS, ♦tiD TERMINATION OF THE WAR. OFFICIAL DISPATCHES. "PROCLAMATION BY THE RIGHT HON. THE GO VERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA. " Foreign Department, Kumsoor, Feb. 14, 1846. " The Seikh army has been expelled from the left bank of the river Sutlej, having been defeated in every action with the loss of more than 220 pieces of field artillery. " The British army has crossed the Sutlej, and entered the Punjaub. " The Governor-General announces by this proclamation that this measure has been adopted by the Government of India, in accordance with the intentions expressed in the proclamation of the Igth of Dpeemher last, as having been foiced upon the Governor-tiladeril for the purpose of effec tually protecting the British provinces, for vindicating the authority of the British Government, and for punishing the violators of treaties and the disturbers of the public peace.' " These operations will be steadily persevered in and vi gorously prosecuted until the objects proposed to be accom plished are fully attained. The occupation of the Punjaub by the British forces will not be relinquished until ample atonement for the insult offered to the British Government by the infraction of the treaty of 1809, A.D., and by the unprovoked invasion of the British provinces, shall have been exacted. These objects will include full indemnity for all expenses incurred during the war, and such arrangements for the future government of the Lahore territories as will give perfect security to the British Government against similar acts of perfidy and aggression. " Military operations against the Government and army of the Lahore State have not been undertaken by the Govern ment of India from any desire of territorial aggrandisement. The Governor-General, as already announced in the procla mation of the 13th of December, sincerely desired to see a strong Seikh Government re- established in the Punjaub able to control its army and to protect its subjects.' The sincerity of these professions is proved by the fact that no preparations for hostilities had been made when the Lahore Government suddenly, and without a pretext of coin plaint, invaded the British territories. The unprovoked ag gression has compelled the British Government to have re course to arms, and to organise the means of offensive war fare, and whatever may now befal the Lahore State, the consequences can alone be attributed to the misconduct of that Government and its army. " No extension of territory was desired by the Government of India ; the measures necessary for providing indemnity for the past and security for the future will, however, involve the retention by the British Government of a portion of the country hitherto under the Government of the Lahore State. The extent of territory which it may be deemed advisable to hold will be determined by the conduct. of the Durbar, and by considerations for the -ecurity of the British frontier. The Government of India will, under any circumstances, annex to the British provinces the districts, hill and plain, situated between the rivers Sutlej and Bees, the revenues thereof being appropriated as a part of the indemnity required from the Lahore State. " The Government of India has friendly declared that it did not desire to subvert the Seikh Government in the Pun jaub ; and although the conduct of the Durbar has been such as to justify the most severe and extreme measures of retribution (the infliction of which may yet be required by sound policy, if the recent acts of violence be not amply atoned for and immediate submission tendered), nevertheless the Governor-General is still willing that an opportunity should be given to the Durbar and to the chiefs to submit themselves to the authority of the British Government, and by a return to good faith and the observance of prudent counsels, enable the Governor-General to organize a Seikh Government in the person of a descendant of its founder, the late Maharaja Runjeet Singh, the faithful ally of the British Power. " The Governor-General, at this moment of a most com plete and decisive victory, cannot give a stronger proof of the forbearance and moderation of the British Government than by making this declaration of his intentions, the terms and mode of the arrangement remaining for further adjust ment. " The Governor- General therefore calls upon all those chiefs who are the well-wishers of the descendants of Run jeet Singh, and especially such chiefs as have not par ici pated in the hostile proceedings against the British Power, to act in concert with him for carrying into effect such ar rangements as shall maintain a Seikh Government at Lahore capable of controlling .its army and protecting its subjects, and based upon principles that shall provide for the future tranquillity of the Seikh states, shall secure the British fron tier against a repetition of acts of aggression, and shall prove to the whole world the moderation and justice of the paramount power of India the Punjaub securestatrhye to o n t t e h r e e s G t G. s oco a vvu n ee d rßriiß s mm e i c eEe u nn r lt i security India, dd t the If th i s opportunity of rescuing the Seikh nation from military anarchy and misrule be neglected, and hostile oppo sition to the British army be renewed, the Government of India will make such other arrangements for the future go iat:tthoeatGoheFvernor-General. vßerrintimshenPtoojetrhe ma y render just and expedient.

GEN E RAL ORDER. re The Govern F o ° r7Ge igil aaral h aving received from his Excel lency the Commander-in - Chief the dispatch annexed to this paper, announces to the army, and to the people of India, for the fourth time during this campaign. a most important and memorable victory obtained by the army of the Sutlej over the Seikh forces in Sobraon on the 10th inst.

The vertical fire of the heavy ordnance had the effect in tended by his Excellency ; it shook the enemy's confidence in works so well and so laboriously constructed, and com pelled them to seek shelter in the brokea ground within their camp. The British Infantry, formed on the extreme left of the line, then advanced to the assault, and in spite of every im pediment cleared the intrenchments, and entered the enemy's camp. Her Majesty's 10th, 53d, and 80th Regiments, with the 83d, '43d, 59th and 63d Native Infantry, moving at a firm and steady pace, never fired a shot till they had passed the barriers opposed to them—a forbearance much to be commended and most worthy of constant imitation, to which may be attributed the success of their first effort, and the small loss they sustained. This attack was crowned with the success it deserved, and (led by its gallant commander, Major-General Sir R. Dick) obtained the admiration of the army, which wit nessed its disciplined valour; when checked by the for midable obstacles and superior numbers to which the attack ing division was exposed, the second division, under lSlajor-General Gilbert, afforded the most opportune as sistance by rapidly advancing to the attack of the enemy's batteries, entering their fortified position, after a severe struggle, and sweeping through the interior of the camp. This division inflicted a very severe loss on the retreating enemy. The same gallant efforts, attended by the same success, distinguished the attack on the enemy's left, made by the Ist division, under the command of Major•• General Sir H. Smith, K.C.8., in which the troops nobly sustained their former reputation. _ _ These three divisions of infantry concentrated within the enemy's camp, drove his shattered forces into the river, with a loss which far exceeded that which the most experienced officers had ever witnessed. Thus terminated, in the brief space of two hours, this most remarkable conflict, in which the military combinations a the Commander-in-Chief were fully and ably carried into effect with his Excellency's characteristic energy. The enemy's select regiments of regular infantry have been dis persed, and a large proportion destroyed, with the loss, since the campaign began, of 220 pieces of artillery, taken in action. _ _ The same evening six regiments of native infantry crossed the Sutlej. On the following day the bridge of boats was nearly completed by that able and indefatigable officer, Major Abbott, of the Engineers, and the army Is this day en camped at Kussoor, 32 m►les from Lahore. Tile Governor-General again most cordially congratulates the Commander-in-Chief on the important results obtained by this memorable achievement. The Governor-General, in the name of the Government and of the people of India, offers to his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, to the ge neral officers, and all the officers and troops under their com mand, his grateful and heartfelt acknowledgments for the services they have performed. To commemorate this great victory the Governor-General will cause a medal to be struck, with " Sebraon" engraved upon it, to be presented to the victorious army in the service of the East India Company, and requests his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief to forward the lists, usually furnished, of those engaged. The Governor-General deeply regrets the loss of the brave officers and men who have fallen on this occasion. Major- General Sir Robert Dick, K.C.8., who led the attack, re ceived a mortal wound after he had entered the enemy's in trenchments. Thus fell, most gloriously at the moment of victory, this veteran officer, displaying the same energy and intrepidity as when, 35 years ago in Spain, he was the dis tinguished leader of the 42d Highlanders. The army has also sustained — a heavy loss by the death of Brigadier Taylor, commanding the 3d brigade of the 2d division ; a most able officer, and very worthy to have been at the head of so distinguished a corps as her Majesty's 29th Regiment, by which he was beloved and respected. The Company's service has lost an excellent officer in Cap tain Fisher, who fell at the head of the brave Sirmoor Regi ment, whic greatly distinguished itself. The Governor-General has much satisfaction in again of fering to Major-General Sir Harry Smith, K.C.8., com manding the Ist division of Infantry, his best thanks for his gallant services on this occasion by which he has added to his well-established reputation. The Governor-General acknowledges the meritorious con duct of Brigadier Penny and Brigadier Hicks, commanding brigades in the Ist divisioa. Her Majesty's 31st and 50th Regiments greatly distin guished themselves, as well as the 42d and 47th Native In fantry, and the Nusseeree Battalion. The Governor-General's thanks are also due to Lieutenant- Colone Ryan, commanding her Majesty's 50th, who, be re grets to hear, has been severely wounded. To Major-General Gilbert, commanding the 2d division, the Governor-General is most happy to express his acknow ledgments for the judgment, coolness, and intrepidity dis played by him on every occasion since the campaign opened, and on die present the promptitude and energy of his attack essentially contributed to insure the success of the day. The Governor-General trusts that the wound received by Brigadier APLaren will not long deprive the service of one of its best officers. Her Majesty's 29th and Ist European Regiments, and the 26th, 48th, 61st Native Infantry, and the Mrnitior Battalion have entitled themselves by their gallant conduct to the thanks of the Government. To Brigadier Stacy, on whom the command of the 2d divi sion devolved, the Governor-General's thanks are especially due for the able manner in which the attack within the enemy's camp was directed. The Governor-General is also glad to have this opportu nity of acknowledging the services of Brigadier Wilkinson, commanding the 6th brigade of the attacking division. The brigade composed of her Majesty', 9th and 62d Regi ments and the 26th Native Infantry, under the command of Brigadier the Hon. T. Ashburnham, placed in support of the attacking division, by its firm and judicious advance con tributed to the success of the assault. The cavalry under the command of Major-General Sir J. Thackwell, K.C.8., Brigadiers Cureton, Scott, and Campbell were well in hand, and ready for any emergency. Her Ma iesty's 3d Light Dragoons, as usual, were in the foremost ranks, and distinguished themselvesunder their commanding officer, Lieut.-Colenel White. Brigadier Smith, the Commanding Engineer, fully accom plished the Commander-in-Chief's instructions, and to Captain Baker and Lieut. Becher, of the Engineers, the Governor:General's acknowledgments are due for leading the division of attack into the enemy's camp ; these officers well maintained the reputation of their corps whenever gallantry or science may be required from its members. Major Abbott, of the Engineers, exclusive of his exertions in constructing the bridge of boats, displayed much intelli gence in the field. The merits of Major Reilly, commanding that most useful corps, the Sappers and Miners, are acknow ledged. The ability and zeal of Brigadier Irvine, the senior officer of the engineer corps, are well, known to the Governor- General, and his forbearance in not assuming the command, having reached the camp on the preceding evening, is duly appreciated. Brigadier Gowan, commanding the Artillery, ably directed the practice of the heavy artillery on the left, assisted by Lieutenant-Colonel Biddulph, Lieutenant-Colonel Brooke, Lieutenant-Colonel Wood, and Captain Pillans. I On the right the howitzer practice was well sustained by Major Grant. The troops of Horse Artillery of Lieutenant-Colonel Lane and Captain Fordyce greatly assisted the attack of our in ' fantry on the left, and whilst the enemy were crossing the river, the fire of Lieutenant-Colonel Alexander's troop was most effective. • The troops of Captain Horsford and Captain Swinley also L did good service. The Governor-General's acknowledgments are due to • Majot Grant, Deputy Atutaut-General, and to hie depart' z ~~~; talsisig an intermediate position in the rear between Major. General Gilbert's right and Major-General Sir Harry Smith's left, protected both. Major-General Sir Joseph Thackwell, under whom *SS - Brigadier Scott, held in reserve on our left, ready to act as circumstances might demand, the rest of the cavalry. Our battery of 9-pounders, enlarged ink, twelves, *pawl near the little Sobraon with a brigade of hosAtTers , formed from the light field batteries and troops of horse an-tiller'', shortly after daybreak. But it was half-past six before i.h• whole of our artillery fire was developed. It was most spirited and well directed. I cannot speak in terms too high of the judicious disposition of the guns, their admirable , practice, or the activity with which the cannonade WAS 1U1 ; tamed ; but, notwithstanding the formidable calibre of our iron guns, mortars, and howitzers, and the admirable way in, which they were served, and aided by a rocket battery, it would have been visionary to expect that they could, within any limited time, silence the fire of seventy pieces behind well constructed Waterier; of earth, plank, and fascines, or dislodge troops covered either by redoubts or epaulements, or within a treble line of trenches. The effect of the cannonade was, as has since been proved by an inspection of the camp, most severely felt by the enemy; but it soon became evident that the issue of this struggle must be brought to the arbitremexa of musketry and the bayonet. At nine o'clock Brigailier Stacey's brigade, supported on either flank by Captains Horaford's and Fordyee's batteries and Lieutenant-Colonel' Lane's troop of Horse Artillery, moved to the attack in admirable order. The infantry and guns aided each other co-relatively. The former marched steadily on in line, which they hafted only to correct when necessary. The la tter took up successive positions at the gallop, until at length they were within 300 yards of the heavy batteries of the Seikbe ; but, notwithstanding the reel larity, and coolness, and scientific character of this assault, which Brigadier Wilkinson well supported, so hot was the fire of cannon, musketry, and zumboorucks kept up by the Khalsa troops, that it seemed for some moments impossible that the intrenchments could be won under it; but soon per severing gallantry triumphed, and the whole army had the satisfaction to see the gallant Brigadier Stacey's soldiers driving the Seikhs in confusion before them within the area of their encampment. The 10th Foot, under Lieutenant- Colonel Franks, now for the first time brought into serious contact with the enemy, greatly distinguished themselves. This regiment never fired a shot till it got within the works of the enemy. The onset of her Majesty's 53d Foot was as gallant and effective. The 43d and 59th Native Infantry brigaded with them, and emulated both in cool determination. At the moment of this first success, I directed Brigadier the Hon. T. Ashbarnham's brigade to move on in suppott, and Major-General Gilbert's and Sir Harry Smith's divisions to throw out their light troops to threaten their works aided by artillery. As these attacks of the centre and right com menced, the fire of our heavy guns had first to be direc ted to the right, and then gradually cease, bat at one time the had iro sae n adn thunder of full 120 pieces of ordnance reverberated in th is mighty combat through the valley of the Satlej , and as it wag . soon seen that the weight of the whole force within the camplpwas likely to be thrown upon the two brigades that n d passedse: artilleryir t n s n t s r trenches, ct attacks h h e e s , centre thetbecamere a n ddemo ns tratio n s g necessary htand t wt o hi conver t etnbsakttir. le skir mishers raged with inconceivable fun* from right to left. The Seikhs, even when at particular points their intrenchments were mastered with the bayonet, strove to regain them by the fiercest conflict sword in hand. Nor was it until the cavalry of the left under Major-General Sir Joseph Thackwell, had moved forward and ridden through the openings of the in trenchments made by our sappers, in single file, and re-formed as they passed them, and the 3d Dragoons , whom no obstacle usually held formidable by horse appears to cheek, had on this day, as at Ferozeshah, gallope d over and cut down the obstinate defenders of batteries and field-works, and until the full weight of three divisions of infantry, with every field artillery gun which could be sent to their aid, had the bee British.ncastint m o t e h fi e re sca of le, the tha s t eikh vic s tog s nearly ceased, and the victors then pressing t hem on every t fi s n la al ck ly en d ed ecia anrrith for en ' side, precipitated them in numbers over their bridge and into the Sutlej, which a sudden rise of seven inches had rendered hardly fordable. In their efforts to reach the right bank, through the deepened water, they suffered from our horse artillery a terrible carnage. Hundreds fell under this cannonade; hundreds upon hundreds were drowned in at tempting the perilous passage. Their awful slaughter, con fusion, and dismay were such as would have excited com passion in the hearts of their generous conquerors, if the balsa troops had not, in the earlypart of the action, sullied their gallantry by slaughtering and barbarously mangling every wounded soldier whom, in the vicissitudes of attack, the fortune of war left at their mercy. I must pause in this narrative especially to notice the determined hardihood and bravery with which our two battalions of Ghoorkhas, the Sirmoor and Nusseree, met the Seikhs wherever they were opposed to them. Soldiers of small stature, but indomitable spirit, they vied in ardent courage in the charge with the grenadiers of our own nation, and armed with the short weapon of their mountains, were a terror to the Seikhs throughout this great combat. Sixty-seven pieces of cannon, upwards of 200 camel swivels (zumboorucks), numerous standards, and vast munitions of war, captured by our troops, are the pledges and trophies of our victory. The battle was over by eleven in the morning, and in the forenoon I caused our engineers to burn a part and to sink a part of the vaunted bridge of the Khalsa army, across which they had boastfully come once more to defy us, and to threaten India with ruin and devastation. We have to deplore a loss severe in itself, but certainly not heavy when weighed in the balance against the obstacle overcome and the advantages obtained. I have especially to lament the fall of Major-General Sir Robert Dick, K.C.8., a gallant veteran of the Peninsular and Waterloo campaigns. He survived only till evening the dangerous grape-shot wound which he received close to the enemy's entrench ments whilst personally animating, by his dauntless example, the soldiers of her Majesty's 80th Regiment in their career of noble daring. Major-General Gilbert, to whose gallantry and unceasing exertions I have been so deeply indebted, and whose services have been so eminent throughout this eventful campaign, and Brigadier Stacey, the leader of the brigade, most hotly and successfully engaged, both received contu sions. They were such as would have caused many men to retire from the field, but they did not interrupt for a moment the efforts of these heroic officers. Brigadier M'Laren, so distinguished in the campaigns in Aff ghanistan, at Maharajpore, and now again in our conflicts with the Seikhs, has been badly wounded by a ball in the knee. Brigadier Taylor , (C. 13.), one of the most gallant and intelligent officers of the army, to whom I have felt deeply indebted on many occasions, fell in this right at the head of his br.gade, in elvee encounter with the enemy, and covered with honourable wounds. Brigadier Penny, of the Nusseree Battalion, commanding the 2d brigade, has been wounded, but not, I trust, severely. I am deprived for the present of the valuable services of Lieutenant-Colonel J. B. Gough, C.D., Acting Quarter- Master General of her Majesty's troops, whose aid I have so highly prized in all my campaigns ia China and India. He has received a wound from a grape shot, which is severe, but I hope not dangerous. Lieutenant-Colonel Barr, Act ing Adjutant-General of her Majesty's forces, whose superior merit as a staff officer I have before recorded, has suffered a compound fracture in the left arm by a ball. It o is feared that amputation may become necessary. Liutenant- Colonels Ryan and Petit, of the 50th Foot, were both badly wounded with that:gallant regiment. Captain John Fisher, Commandant of the Sirmoor battalion, fell at the head of his valiant little corps, respected and lamented by t h e whole army. I have now to make the attempt, difficult, nay impracti cable though I deem it, of expressing in adequate terms my sense of obligation to those who especially aided me by their talents and self-devotion in the hard-fought field of Sobraon. First, Right Hon. Sir, you must permit me to speak of yourself. Before the action. I had the satisfaction of sub mitting to you my plan of attack, and I cannot describe the support which I derived from the circumstances of its having in all its details met your approbation. When a soldier of such sound judgment and matured experience as your Excellency assured me that my projected operation deserved success, I could not permit myself to doubt that, with the blessing of Divine Providence, the victory would be ours. Nor did your assistance stop here ; though suf fering severely from the effects of a fall, and unable to mount on horseback without assistance, your uncontrollable de sire to see this army once more triumphant, carried you into the hottest of the fire, filling all who witnessed your ex posure to such peril at once with admiration of the in trepidity that prompted it, and_ anxiety for your personal safety, involving so deeply in itself the interests and happi ness of British India. I must acknowledge also my obligat i on to you for having, whilst 1 was busied with another portion of our operations, superintended all the arrangements that related to laying our bridge across the Sutlej near Feroze pore. Our prompt appearance on this bank of the river after victory, and advance to this place, which has enabled us to surprise its fort and encamp without opposition in one of the strongest positions in the country, is the result of this invaluable assistance. The Major-Generals of divisions engaged deserve far more commendation than I am able, within the limits of a dispatch, to bestow. Major-General Sir Robert Dick, as I have already related, has fallen on a field of renown worthy of his military career and services, and the affectionate regret of his country will follow him to a soldier's grave. In his attack on the enemy's left littOr-General Sir Harry Smith displayed the same valour and judgment which gave him the victory of Aliwal. A more arduous task has seldom, if ever, been assigned to a division. Never has an attempt b el en w m an o t re w g o lo rd ri s ous te l3 e , x car pr r e i s e s d my through. gratitude to Major-General Gilbert. Not only have Ito record that in this great fight all was achieved by him which, as Commander-in-Chief, I could desire to have executed; not only on this day was his division enabled by his skill and courageous example to triumph over obstacles from which a less ardent spirit would have recoiled as insurmountable, but since the hour in which our leading-columns moved out of Umballah I have found in the Major-General an officer who has not merely carried out all my orders to the letter, but whose zeal and tact have enabled him in a hundred instances to perform valuable ser vices in exact anticipation of my wishes. I beg explicitly to recommend him to your Excellency's especial notice as a divisional commander of the highest merit. Major-General Sir Joseph Thackwell has established a claim on this day to the rare commendation of having achieved much with a cavalry force, where the duty to be done consisted entirely of an attack on field works usually supposed to be the particular province of infantry and artil lery. His vigilance and activity throughout our operations, and the superior manner in which our out-post des have been carried on under his superintendence, de duties have been carried on under his superintendence demand my warmest acknowledgments. Brigadier Stacey (C. 8.), I must commend to your special protection and favour. On him devolved the arduous duty of leading the first column to the attack, turning the enemy's right, encountering his fire, before his numbers had been thinned, or his spirit broken, and, to use a phrase which tt soldier like your Excellency will comprehend, takinghoo: the rough edge of the Seikhs in the fight. How ably, before gallantly, how successfully this was done, and his noble troops will hold their due place in you w , h A t endeavoured to relate.
