c ommanding officers of regiments; but this dispatch is ne cessarily 'completed in the utanciat h4ste, and in the midst of most important operations—l must, .therefore, reserve to a future oppo:tufilty the pleasing, task of bringing especially and by name to the notice of Government the particular merits of individual officers. I cannot, however, refrain - froin expressing my deep sense off:obligation to the - heads Of the two principal departments. Major-General .Sir James LinnleY was unfortunately pre vented by 'seveeLsiekness from taking part in the active duties of this gi'erisis. Major Grant, Deputy-Adjutant - General, therefore, supplied his place, and it is my duty to say how ablV this hats been done, acid how great a loss I have endured by being deprived, for the present, of his ser vices, in consequenee of two wounds which he received Whilst urging on the infantry to the final and decisive attack of the enemy's batteries. Neither must I fail to record the valuable aid which has upon this, as on a former campaign, been afforded me, by the Quarter -Master General, Lieute nant-Colonel Garden; his departmental arrangements de mand my highest commendation. Major-General Sir Harry Smith having been appoiated to the command of a division, the charge of his office as Adjutant-General of her Majesty's Forces devolved upon .Lieutenant Colonel Barr, who, not only in the performance of these duties, but in every way in which assistance can be renchred in active operations, has been to me a most valuable staff officer. I have to thank you, Eight Honourable sir, for having placed at my disposal the services of the officers of your stall; and to *sank them for the valuable assistance they afforded me,on this arduous day. It shall be my pleasing duty to Inentionliaem individually, with the officers of my own per sonal stile; in the recommendation list I shall have the honour of forwarding, at an early date, to Government. —I have, Szc., • 11.

FROM lIIS EXCELLENCY THE COMMANDER -IN-CHIEF TO THE RIGHT HON. THE GOVERNOR-Cr EN EItAL OF INDIA, DATED . CAMP, FEROZESHAH, DEC. 22, 1845. Right Hon. Sir,--I have again to cong ratulate you on the success of our arms. A grand battle has been fought against the Seikh army at this place, and, by the blessing of Divine Providence, victory has been won, by the valour of our troops, against odds and under circumstances which will render this action one of the most memorable in the page of Indian history. After the combat of the 18th at Moodkee, • information was received the following day that the enemy, in increased numbers, were moving on to attack us. A line of defence was taken up in advance of our encampment, and disposi tions made to repel asaault, but the day wore away without their appearing, and at night we had the satisfaction of being reinforced by her Majesty's 29th Foot, and the East India Company's Ist European Light Infantry, with our s mall division of heavy guns. I must here allude to a circumstance most favourable to our efforts in the field. On this evening, in addition to the valuable counsel in which you had in every emergency be fore favoured me, you were pleased yet further to strengthen my hands by kindly offering your services as second in com mand in my army. I need hardly say with how much plea sure the offer was accepted. On the morning of the 21st the offensive was resumed; our columns of all arms debouched four miles on the road to Fe rozeshah, where it was knswn that the enemy, posted in great force and with a most formidable artillery, had re mained since the action of the 18th, incessantly empl. yed in entrenching his position. Instead of advancing to the direct attack of their formidable works, our force manoeuvred to their right ; the second and fourth divisions of infantry, in front, supported by the first division and cavalry in second line, continued to defile for some time out of cannon shot between the Seikhs and Ferozepore. The desired effect was not long delayed, a cloud of dust was seen on our left, and according to the instructions sent him on the preceding evening, Major-General Sir John Littler, with his division, availing himself of the offered opportunity, was dis covered in full march to unite his force with mine. The junction was soon effected, and thus was accomplished one of the great objects of all our harassing marches and privations, in the relief of this division of our army from the blockade of the numerous forces by which it.was surrounded. Dispositions were now made fora united attack on the enemy's entrenched camp. We found it to be a parallelo gram, of about a mile in length, and half a mile in breadth, including within its area the strong village of Ferozeshah ; the shorter sides looking towards the Sutlej and Moodkee, and the longer towards Ferozepore and the open country. We moved against the last-named face, the ground in front of which was like the Seikh position in Moodkee, covered with low jungle. The divisions of Major-General Sir John Littler, Brigadier Wallace (who had succeeded Major-General Sir John M'Caskill), and Major-General Gilbert, deployed into line, having in the centre our whole force of artillery , IN it h the exception of three troops of horse artillery, one on either flank and one in support, to be moved as occasion required. Major General Sir Harry Smith's division, and our small cavalry force, moved in second line, having a brigade in re serve to cover each wing. I should here observe, that I committed the charge and direction of the left wing to Lieutennnt-Gcneral Sir Henry Hardinge, while I personally conducted the right. A very heavy cannonade was opened by the enemy, who had dispersed over their position upwards of one hundred guns, more than forty of which were of battering calibre ; these kept up a heavy and well-directed fire, which the prac tice of our far less numerous artillery, of much lighter metal, checked in some degree, but could not silence ; finally, in the face of a storm of shot and shell, our infantry advanced and carried these formidable entrenchments ; they threw them selves upon the guns, and with matchless gallantry wrested them from the enemy; but, when the batteries were partially within our grasp, our soldiery had to face such a fire of musketry from the Seikh infantry, arrayed behind their gun that, in spite of the most heroic efforts, a portion only of the entrenchment could be carried. Night fell while the conflict was everywhere raging. Although I now brought -up Major-General Sir Harry Smith's division, and he captured and long retained another ioint of the position, and her Majesty's 3d Light Dragoons barged and took some of the most formidable batteries, yet , e enemy remained in possession of a considerable portion he great quadrangle, whilst our troops, intermingled wi'' First Brigade.

In this state of things the long night wore away. Near the middle of it, one of their heavy guns was ad vanced and played with deadly effect upon our troops. Lieut.- General Sir Henry Hardinge immediately formed her Ma jesty's 80th Foot and the Ist European Light Infantry. They were led to the attack by their commanding officers, and animated in their exertions by Lieut.-Colonel Wood (aide de- camp to the Lieutenant-General), who was wounded in the outset. The 80th captured the gun, and the enemy, dis mayed by this counter-check, did not venture to press en further. Puring the whole night, however, they continued to harass our troops by fire of artillery, wherever moonlight discoVered our position. But with daylight e ßf the 22d came retribution. Our in fantry formed line, supported on both flanks by horse artil lery, whilst a fire was opened from our centre by such of our heavy guns as remained effective, aided by a flight of rockets. A masked battery played with great effect upon this point, dismounting oar pieces and blowing up our tumbrils. At this moment Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Hardinge placed himself at the head of the left, whilst I rode at the head of the right wing. Our line advanced, and, unchecked by the enemy's fire, drove them rapidly out of the village of Feruzeshah and their encampment; then, changing front to its left, on its centre, our force continued to sweep the camp, bearing down all opposition, and dislodged the enemy from their whole position. The line then halted, as if on a day of manoeuvre, receiving its two leaders as they rode along its front with a gratilying cheer, and displaying the captured standards of the Khal,qa army. We had taken upwards of 73 pieces of can non, and were masters of the whole field. The force assumed a position on the ground which it had won, but even here its labours were not to cease. In the course of two hours, Sirdar Tej Singh, who had commanded in the great last battle, brought up from the vicinity of Feroze pore fresh battalions and a large field of artillery, supported by 30,000 Ghorepurras, hitherto encamped near the river. He drove in our cavalry parties, and made strenuous efforts to regain the position at Ferozeshah ; this attempt was de feated; but its failure had scarcely become manifest, when the Sirdar renewed the contest with more troops and a large artillery. He commenced by a combination against our left flank-; and when this was frustrated made such a demon stration against the captured vill.-ge as compelled us to change our whole front to the right. His guns, during this manoeuvre, maintained an incessant fire, whilst our artillery ammunition being completely expended in these protracted combats, we were unable to answer him with a single shot. I now directed our almost exhausted cavalry to threaten both flanks at once, preparing the infantry to advance in support, which apparently caused him suddenly to cease his fire, and to abandon the field. For twenty-four hours net a Seikh has appeared in our front. The remains of the Rhalsa army are said to be in full retreat across the Sutlej, at Nuggurputhur and Tilla, or marching up its left bank towards Hurreekeeputhur, in the greatest confusion and dismay. Of their chiefs, Bahadur Singh is killed ; Lal Singh said to be wounded ; Mehtab Singh, Adjoodhia Pershad, and 'fej Singh, the late governor of I'eshawur, have fled with precipitation. Their camp is the scene of the most awful carnage, and they have aban loned large stores of grain, camp equipage, and ammunition. Thus has apparently terminated this unprovoked and dri inal invasion of the peaceful p:ovinces under British pro- Third Infantry Division. Divisional and Brigade Staff-1 European officer killed.

Oa the conclusion of such a narrative as I have given, it is snr,ly superfluous in me to say, that I am, and shall be to the last moment of my existence, proud of the army which I had the honour to command on the 21st and 22d instant. To their gallant• exertions I owe the satisfaction of seeing such a victory achieved, and the glory cf having my own name associated with it. The I,:ss of this army has been heavy ; how could a hope be formed that it shoal - Übe othr2rwisa? Within thirty hours this force stormed an entrenched camp, fought a general action, and sustained two considerable combats with the enemy. Within four days it has dislodged from their posi tions, on the left bank of the Sutlej, 60,000 Seikh soldiers, supported by upwards of 150 pieces of cannon, 108 of which the enemy acknowledge to have lest, and 91 of which are in our po'ssession. In additio h to our losses in the battle, the captured ci mp was found to be everywhere protected by charged mines, by the successive springing of which many brave officers and men have been destroyed. I must bear testimony to the valour displayed in these actions by the whole of the regiments of her Majesty's ser vice employed, and the East India Company's' Ist European Light Infantry : the native force seconded in a most spirited manner their gallant conduct. To Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Harding e, my second in command, my warmest thanks are due, not only for his personal exertions, which were cotspicuous to all, bat for the able assistance lie afforded me through all the eventful scenes of this well-fought action, To the general and my personal staff, I feel deeply indebted for their unceasing ex ertions. Major-Generals Sir Harry Smith, Gilbert, and Sir John Littler, and Brigadier Wallace (who nobly fell in the hour of yictory)„ fully realised the high expectations I had formed of their conduct as leaders of divisions. With the brigadiers, the commandant of artillery, and the chief engineer, the commanding officers of regiments, and with tlie departmental staff, I was also greatly pleased ; their exertions .were most unremitting, and highly praise. worthy. The reports I have received from the generals of divisions ef infantry, the brigadiers of cavalry, and the commandant of artillery, speak in the highest terms of their respective staff; and it is my intention, as soon as possible, to forward to you, Right Honourable Sir, a list containing the names of all the &acre I have just enumerated, together with the names of all those who appear to me specially to merit ap probation and favour. The hurried manner in which I am forced to collect in formation, and prepare these numerous details, may, I fear, cause the omission of the names of some officers well deserv ing of notice; but I shall not fail to send in a supplementary list when I can assure myself of their individual merits, as ft would be most painful to me to feel that I had not done jus tice to any one of the brave men who shared with me the gle_ri_es and dangers of this arduous conflict. m Countstpi ii: L etit : a , f, e ou rroceu t ue i mention a o rnne w taldiul t str o ci.it::ceaetin:db uo rrecu t i lw t a e ,hdo c i o d n duct of an' illustrious nobles. of accompanyhis suite, w u i s t the h t h h e o o n fi o l u c r t s o lainTckoened'uaent.d!ta; operations.

FROM LIEUTENANT-GENERAL SIR HENRY lIAR DING E, C1.C.8 , TO HIS EXCELLENCY GENER AL SIR HUGH GO UGII , BART., CI:C.B COMMANDER -IN-CHIEF OF INDIA, DATED CAMP, PEROZE- roitE, DEC. 22, 1845. Sir,—l have The honour to report to your Excellency that, when the army under your command bad formed its junction with the forces from Ferozepore, under Major-General Sir John Littler, and was drawn up in order of battle, on the 21st instant, I proceeded with the two left bri g ades, commanded by Colonels Wallace and M'Laren, to attack the enemy's en trenched position at Perozeshah. 2.- The line advanced with great steadiness, notwithstand ing the naturo, of the ground, intersected with jungle. When the troops had cleared these impediments, and had opened out into the plain, they continued to press on, without a check, under a very heavy 'fire of grape and musketry from the enemy's batteries, and having borne down all opposition, entered the enemy's camp, and captured the guns in their front. 3. This portion of the camp was soon after on fire, com pelling the troops to desist from their attack of the remain der; and, as it was now dark, the troops forme 1 on the ground, nearly on a line with the burning camp. From that period till the morning, these brave men were exposed to an incessant fire from the enemy's guns, the darkness of the night being illuminated by the explosion of mines, tumbrils, and shells. 4. I need not dwell on the events of this night, so remark able in military history, because your Excellency witnessed them, and, with me, admired the fortitude and resolution of these brave men, ready to encounter any danger, although harassed by fatigue and suffering from thirst. 5. I have pers•nially reported to your Excellency my ad miration of the conduct of her Majesty's 80th Regiment, and the Ist European Light Infantry, in obeying with alacrity the order I gave about midnight to stand to their arms and charge a battery, which bore destructively on our ranks. Lieutenant-Colonel Bunbury, assisted by . Lieutenant Colonel Wood, my aide• de-camp, led ithe attack, on which occasion the latter officer was woulded. The guns were spiked, the enemy driven away with loss, and this part of our line left undisturbed for the remainder of the night. Their conduct in the preceding part of the action came more immediatel y under your Excellency's own observation. 6. Your Excellency, having formed the troops before day light, led the right of the attack, entrusting .the left to me. The whole line instantly advanced, and, animated by your example, carried everything before them; and, having tra versed the camp from one extremity- to the other, drew up in a perfect line, expressing by loud cheers, As we rode up the line, their conscious pride that every man bad done his duty. 7. I again most cordially congratulate you on the brilliant success of the army under your Excellency command. 8. It is now my duty to report to Excellency, that y our Major-General Gilbert, commanding a portion of this divi sion of the army, gave me the greatest satisfaction. 9. Colonel Wallace fell bravely at the head of his troops. 10. Colonel M'Laren led his brigade with his accustomed judgment and resolution. Birch, r t !t h e , 2 Judge t h . e m ? s 11.

He was brave as he was able in every branch of the political and military service. • 17.

Lieutenant Munro, of the 10th Light Cavalry, my aide-de-camp, a most amiable and excellent officer, I have also had the misfortune to lose, whilst placed at your Excel lency's disposal, in the affair at Moodkee. 23. Captain Here, Assistant Military Secretary, and a valuable officer, acting as my aide-de-camp, was killed about the same time as Major Somerset received his wound. 21. I have now to reqmst your Excellency's notice to the conduct of an illustrious nobleman, Count Ravensburg, who, with the officers of his suite, ount Greuhen and Count Oriole, accompanied me in the field. These Prussian officers nobly sustained the reputation of their countrymen. 22. The Prince's surgeon was struck to the ground by a ball. I saw his Royal Highness instantly spring from his horse to his assistance. The prince's humanity was unavail ing ; death had already closed the surgeon's career. `23.

HARDINGE. FROM MAJOR-GENERAL SIR JOHN LITTLER TO THE ADJU TANT-GENERAL OT THE ARMY, DATED FEROZEPORE, DEC. 25, 1845. Sir,—in pursuance of instructions received from the Right Hon. the Governor-General, under date the 20th instant, I moved out of my position at Ferozepore at 8 a.m. on the 21st instant, with the corps as per margin,* leaving the de fence of the cantonments to the 63d Regiment Native In• fantry, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Wilkinson, and that of the town to the 27th Regiment Native Infantry, under Lieut.-Colonel Carnegy, together with detachments of Sap pers, and half a field battery in the town, and 2d company (reserve) of Artillery in the entrenchment. I effected a junction with the troops under the personal command of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, and, agreeably to his instructions, moved into position, or order of battle, on the same evening about 4, r .m. The first advance in line was very steady, and the approach to the cnemrs works made under a most galling and destructive fire. The casualties in the ranks were awful. The troops, however, still moved on with great firmness and resolution, and ap proached the enemy's battery to within about 150 yards, when I considered the prize to be within their grasp. Brigadier T. Reed gave the order to charge, supported by the left or Brigadier the Honourable T. Ashburnham's; Bri gade. This charge was commenced with such determined gallantry and spirit, that the result seemed certain. The enemy, however, having great confidence in their guns, con tinued to serve them with extraordinary activity, and to make such havoc in our ranks, as to cause an immediate panic and hesitation in her Majesty's 62d Foot, which of course had a similar effect on the native regiments on the flanks, notwithstanding all our exertions to induce them to advance by cheering and encouraging them, pointing at the same time to the short distance Iwhich they had to proceed when the day would be. their own. It was all in vain; and they retired out of gun-shot, to where her Majesty's 9th Foot and 26th Regiment Native Infantry were drawn up in re serve. A part of the 14th Regiment Native Infantry, with their colours, accompanied these two reiments, and entered the enemy's batteries. At this period it was nearly dark, and, as I had heard that the divisions on the right had also been unable to obtain an entrance, I bivouacked for the night in the vicinity. On the following morning I obtained information of the right division having been directed to renew the attack, and I moved to co-operate, as might be necessary. I then re ceived orders to wait until further instructions, and was moved up to the town and directed to hold it. The result of .this attack was most glorious to the British army, and I heartily congratulate his Excellency and the Governor- General on the happy termination of probably one of the most sanguinary engagements that ever took place in India. With the conduct of the troops in general under me, I was much gratified; their patience and perseverance in marching through the day, exposed to the sun and want of water, must have, no doubt, in some measure weakened their energies, but they, notwithstanding, evinced great firmness and resolution in advancing to the attack, until borne down by the furious and irresistible fire from all arms, that men could be exposed to; the loss of many of their officers must have tended to relax their efforts and check their ardour, and under such circumstances only could the disappointment to her Majesty's 62d Regiment, themselves, and to their country, have been for a moment conceived. The native troops, under the numerous temptations to which they have been exposed for several months past by Seikh emissaries, have evinced their loyalty to the British Government in a most remarkable manner, not a single de sertion having taken place since the enemy crossed the Sutlej, that has come to my knowledge. They have main tained the character of the Bengal army in displaying cou rage and bravery under a heavy fire. I have much pleasure in bringing to the favourable notice of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief the services of those zealous and indefatigable officers, Brigadiers T. Reed, the Hon. T. Ashburnham, D. Harriott, commanding cavalry ; and E. Huthwaitc, commanding artillery, whose cool courage throughout the attack was conspicuous. To the several commanding officers of regiments and divisiono, Lieut.- Colonel Gairdner, commanding 14th Regiment Native In fantry; Lieut.-Colonel Bruce, commanding 12th Regiment Native Infantry, who lost his arm in the action ; Major Wake, commanding 44th Regiment Native Infantry; Major Short, commanding her Majesty's 62d Foot; Major Osborn, commanding 54th Regiment Native Infantry; and Captain Sandeman, commanding 33d Regiment Native Infantry, I feel much indebted for the spirited and gallant manner in which they brought up their respective regiments during the advance. It is with sincere regret that I have to report for his Ex cellency's information the death of my Aide-de-Camp, Lieu tenant Harvey, of her Majesty's 39th Foot, a very promising and intelligent young officer, and devoted to his profession. He was shot during the advance, in the act of cheering on the men, when within about 250 yards of the enemy's works. His death will be a loss to the public service, and deplored by his friends and relations. Of Captain Egerton, my Assistant Quarter-Master Gene ral, whose activity and zeal were conspicuous, I cannot speak too highly ; he was severely wounded on the morning of the 22d. It is with much gratification that I also submit for his Excellency's consideration, and acknowledge the obligation to Major P. Innes, my Deputy Assistant Adjutant-General, and Captain Burnett, Major of the brigade, for their inde fatigable exertions throughout the affair, as well as for their able assistance on all occasions. Lieutenant Goodwyn, of the Engineers, has proved him self a most zealous and indefatigable officer during the whole time that the Seikh army has been opposite Ferozepore, as well as on the evening of the 21st, during the engagement, and whom I beg to recommend to his Excellency's notice. To Captain W. B. Thomson, Commissariat - Department, who accompanied me, and to Lieutenant W. Fullerton, super intending the Sudder Bazaa", who volunteered his services as my aide-de camp, and was particularly useful to me in the field, I feel indebted. Captain Nicolson, late Assistant Governor-General's agent, and Colonel Van Courtland, late of the Seikh service, who were placed at my disposal by the late Major Broadfoot, C. 8., afforded me every assistance in their power during the engagement and previously, when the Seikhs first crossed he Sutlej.—l have, &c., J.

Camp, Ferozepore, Dec. 30, 1845. The Governor-General having received from the Com mander-in-Chief in India the dispatches, dates of which are noted in the margin 4 directs that they , be published for the information of the army and people of India. The first dispatch from his Excellency reports the opera tions of the army on the 'evening of the 18th instant, at Moodkee, where the enemy attempted to surprise the British camp, and were repulsed at all points with the loss of seven teen guns. The second dispatch reports the glorious successes obtained 'by the army under the immediate command of his Excel lency, on the evening of the 21st, and the morning of the 22d, at Ferozeshali ' where the British army assaulted the entrenched camp of the . Seikhs defended by 108 pieces of cannon, some of heavy calibre, and after driving the enemy from his position, captured seventy-four guns. Thus the enemy have been forced to relinquish to their victors on these occasions upwards of ninety pieces of artillery, with all the munitions of war in their camp. All the objects which the Governor-General desired to effect have been accomplished by his Excellency the Com mander-in-Chief. The British forge posted at Ferozepore, th-s suddenly and treacherously surrounded by the Seikh army, with a large park of artillery, has been relieved; the brave garrison, under its able commander Major-General Sir J. Llttler, not only maintained a firm attitude of defence, but had the satisfaction so grateful to brave soldiers, of skilfully forming a junction with the Umballa force, and gallantly taking part in the discomfiture of the enemy which had so recently invested them. The Governor-General again cordially congratulates his , Excellency General Sir llugh Gou:h, on the great and important victories obtained by the army under his im mediate command. The Governor-General, in the name of the Government and of the people of India, greatfully acknowledges the noble services rendered to the public by his Excellency the Com mander in Chief, by all the general and other officers, and by the non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the brave Indian army. The Governor-General's thanks are due to all the infantry regiments of her Majesty, and to the Ist European Light In fantry of the East India Company's service, all of which regi ments distinguished themselves by the most devoted courage in braving the destructive fire of the enemy's batteries, and valiantly capturing their guns. The Governor-General offers his thanks more especially to her Majesty's 3d Dragoons, who on all these occasions sought .opportunities of useful conflict with the enemy, and fought with that superiority over their opponents which skill and discipline impart to brave and determined men. The European and Native Artillery maintained their ac customed character for steady, unyielding courage, when ex posed to a very heavy and galling fire. The Governor General's thanks are justly due to the brave infantry of the Native army, whose valour so mainly contri buted to these victories, and he cannot withhold his admira tion for the patience and perseverance with which they en dured privations inseparable from forced marches. The Artillery, Cavalry, and Infantry, united together by the bonds of mutual esteem, may be confident. that, when they rely on each other's courage, the three arms, combined and acting together, will ever be found to be an invincible army. The Government of India, as a tribute of their esteem for the meritorious conduct of the troops engaged in the recent operations, will grant to every officer and soldier in the ser vice of the Government of India, engaged in these battles, a medal to be worn with their uniforms, on which the word " Ferozesbah" shall be inscribed as denoting that they have served in this important campaign. The Commander in Chief will be so good as to furnish the Governor• General with lists of all the officers and soldiers engaged in the operation of this campaign. The Governor-General is further pleased to order that the following corps be permitted to wear theword " Ferozeshah" upon their appointments, standards, and colours, in perpe tual commemoration of their gallant services :- Ist and 3d Brigades Horse Artillery. 2d, 3d, and 4th Companies, 4th Battalion. 2d and 4th Yompanies, 6th Battalion. 2d Company, 7th Battalion, Foot Artillery.
