SEA,--Wheit I had the honour of addressing you yesterday, I could hardly suppose that a post so recently and voluntarily abandoned would have been a subject of contest ; but I had hardly closed the letter, and after ascending a short yVay up the ,hill on the left to reconnoitre the enet4's posi tion, had proceeded towards the front of the right td examine a stockade, supposed to be situated at the eastern extremity of the same ridge, when a smart firing advancing on our posts from the east. Ward at half past 12, announced an attack in great • force. On my return to the front of the Hue I had a Nery distinct view of the enemy's approach in large bodice ; and successively detached to the ;Said of the party on the hill the light company of his Majesty's 87th, and 2d battalion 25th Native Infantry ; two more companies of the 87th' with the 2d battalion ,12th Native Infantry, and two six-pounders on elephants, accompanied by Co lonel Miller ; and lastly, the 2d 'battalion Bth native Infantry. . The Dimities of the enemy could not be less than 2,000 men, with several and repeated rein forcements I and during is momentary superio iity in numbers he approached close*to the village, which was obstinatcly and gallantly disputed by our small party; until the arrival of ,more troops changed the fortune of the - day; and from this time, until halt past five, their repeated assaults .otrour positions were invariably repulsed, and he was at length driven o'ff in confusion, chiefly by a charge of the 2d battalion of the Bth Native In. lantry, in the direction of the enemy's guns, one of wbich, a 4-pounder on a carriage similar to our std untairt train, `{vas abandoned, and brought in this mornipg ; also a considerable quantity of gun and' musketry ammunition,' which was' found Strewed about in the utmost confusion. The loss sustained by the enemy has been very considerable, and is supppsed by many to be not 'Jess than 500 men, including several ut their Of as appears by their dresses. The casualties on our part are, I RID grieved to * many, and will , be seen by reference to die en- t X closed rettrrn. sense the of the corps engaged, and of indicidualg, is tehly exprpssed in the accompanying copy of Di',ision Orders of this date, which I toot will meet the sanctiOn Rind approval of hia kxcelleney the Right Hon. the COnnuanderin Chief. • 1 have, &c.
