The honourable the Governor in Council is :pleased to publish the following dispatch from Lieutenant-Colonel Lionel Smith, of his Majev. ty's 65th Regiment, and commanding : a force in Kattywar, to the Address of the Resident at rodaL communicating the; operations of the force against ,the fort of Nowanugger. • Head-Quarters, Camp before Nuanzitiggur,A Feb. 24, 181.2. SIR,---The nature of Your Communications With the jam Rajah:requiring the advance of the de tachment under my comma n d, I h ave th e honour to acquaint you, 'for the information of the Ho-, nourable the Governor in, Council; that' we . marched from Chella. Chunga on the morning' of the 21St instant, and took up a position on the , north-face of.NOannuggur, the. jam's Arab in fantry only occasioning some trifling skirmishing, While his horse was kept in check by those of his Highness rutty Sitig. On the morning of the 22d, a,detachment was sent forward to take up ground for the batteries, but considering the camp at too great -a distance • to do so promptly, and without great loss, I esta blished, in the first insta , ce, a strong redoubt to shelter'the troopi in our fartife . ;' Operations. The enemy having •brought nearly.:all, bis guns during the niOlt to this. face, I placed two !uns in this redoubt to keep up the enemy:s 'ntiou from the real spOt intended for breaching, which was most judiciously pointed out by the EnOacer, Liente nant Gordon, and, a battery having been com pleted during the night of the 22d, it .opened : about nine . o'clock the foll Owing morning, and. effected a breach on 'the Uorth-east face of the Wall by five o'clock in the evening. I had issued orders for the assault at day-light this morning, which the Jam's submission to Go vernment during the night prevented, and though, by this timely reflection of the Raj Oles, many lives have been saved,- I may be permitted to re- ' gret, in common with all the Officers and men of this detachnieUt, a result so full of disappoint.. nlent for 'the zeal, and Order, evinced by all ranks, promised the most deeßive'sucCess:against any 'resistance. I am under the greatest, oblip.;atilns to Lieu tenant-Colonel Ba!t, for his support and assist !ince to me la all occasions. 'rile advanced parties the 1i.2:1!t battalion, and the comn'tny of sharp-shooters of the 7th regi ment, Who wet-e th-nwn out aL'ainst the Arabs, while were Lakin up ground on di:- 22c1 inst. particularly distinguished themselves by activity, anti sttNal;ness. • The Officers mostly employed having-, been those of the Eng 4 .neers and Artillery, they all Made the greatest exertions in their respective duties. T 4 _Engineers, Lieutenant Gordoti and :Ensign J'arvis, were indefatigable. Captain Bond, ';and all the OfficerS and men of the artillery, afforded ' , me the highest satisfaction ; the merits of Cap -tain hardy are well established; he is an excel lent officer, and I availed, himself of his-informa tion and . science with perfect confidence. I have the honour to he, &c. LLoNet SMITH , Lie.ut.-Col. The troops in the eastern seas were rapidly pro ceeding in the reduction of the Dutch islands. — Intelligence has been received in India of the capture of the islands of Alaca ,, sar and Tiittour. The ti pops were in general in good health and spirits. The resources of the colony at Java not 'only enabled Government to p'rovicle for its own 'se curity, but were considered sufficiently ample to• contribute to the general defencg of : the British Empire. • We were glad to learn, from ad official notifica tion by Sir S.
