~': U " IN D! A. SUPPLEMENT TO THE. LONDON GAZETTE, OF TUESDAY, JAN. 12. (Concluded from yesterday's' Paper.) 1:1:tlact front a Letter from Brigadier-General Munro, to the :lountstuart Eiphinstone, dated 2d June BIS. After leaving Sattarab on the morning of the 29th ult., I rejoined the reserve the following tiay about noon. On try arrival found that an ot der front Appa (a) Dessye to his officer at Ma nowlie (b), directing the immediate surrender of that place to the company, had been received in camp, and dispatched about an hour before. Though the order itself was perfectly clear, I was convinced, both from the character of the Dcssye and his recent conduct, that it would not be acted upon without an attempt being made to gain time, and to try the effect of negociatiun. therefore determined to prevent all unnecessary delay by marching to Newpanie. The Dew an Nerreet Mont said, that he would himself instantly proceed to Manowlie and de liver it np He set out in the evening with a party of t wenty horse, travelled all night, and r( ached Manoti lie in the afternoon of the 31st ►►ic.. and made over the place to my Aumildar next I orning. When I Marched from Erroor on the 3lst Appa Dessve had sent no order for the giving up thedistrict of Chuckorie (c). His second Dewan, Singoo Punt, who acCompanied We, proposed to deliver up the Sircar, and retain the Ewan' Vll hiees (d). This plan was at once rejected, be cause it would in fact have enabled the Dessye to continue to nniintain a number of his servants at the expence of the di,tt lets ;--I told the Dewan that the order must be for the surrender of the whole district without any reservation, and that it taus. be brought to tue before my arrival at Nepawnie. He met me on the march yesterday niorning with this' order, but as it reset veil the Enain Villv,ges it was returned to hint, and lie soon afer came back with another order of un conditional surrender. Extracts from Reports from Lieutenant-Colonel Commanding; a Detachment of the Hydrabad Subsidiary Force, to the Adjutant-General of the Army. Camp before :‘,lalligaum, Ist June, 1918. 0 ,, the 20th alt, I did myselt the honour of re porting to the Quacer•Master-General of the Array, for the information of his Excellency the Comminder•in-Chief, the movements and °pe rvious of tiie detachwept 1 command up to that day I have now the honour of forwarding a return of killed and wounded from the ISth to the 29th of last month. On the 2.Sth the breach in the curtain of the Fort of N.Ldli;, , Jintn tiv;►s reported and appeared practicable, and the senior engineer, Ensign Naves, recommended st►►rming next morning. I made my arrangemetos for three simultaneous attacks, two on the outworks and Penal' on the opposite side, commatkied by Lieuteuant-Co lonel Stewaia and Major Macbean, and the third and pri•icipal one on the road leading to the breach under M.ijiir Greenhill, who had joined me with the. second I,ittalion seventeenth, or C. L. I. on the e% ening of the 27th. This attack consisted of one hundred Europe Ans, nod five hun dred Sqoes of data eat corps, mostly'of the se cond battalion of the seventeenth, and beaded by Ensign Nattes, sappers HIM Millera, ladders, &c every mail carrying two bags filled with wct grors, Ensign Nattes buns& setting the example. t 'h e road leading to the bleach of the out works is flanked by towers and loop holes ; how ever, our men moved on gallantly until Ensign Nattes got to the top of the bleach, when he called out " impracticable," and itwitetliately received five balls in different parts of his body. Major Greenhill had fallen a little behind in consequence of a sm and in the heel, but Captain Kennedy led on time advance, and was mortally wounded close to where poor Nattes fell. All this time the fire front the towers and loop-boles was kept pretty well tinder by our shot, shells, and musketry from the reserve. I was obliged, however, to sound the recall,and our brave troops returned, more con vinced of their superiority over these Arabs titan when they advanced. Capt. Kennedy and Ensign Nattes, with must of the wounded men, were brought back, but Lieut. Wilkinson, of the se cond battalion of the 13th regiment, and five met] who were killed, remained in the bed of the river, and on the top of the breach, un til doolies were seta, and the Arabs permitted them to be brought in. Had it been possible for our men to have got to the bottom of the breach of the Fort, I have no doubt we should have car ried the place, but there was no road, the enemy having cut away from the inside of the breach of the outwork three times the depth of our scaling ladders, As the attention of most of the enemy was drawn to this attack, the town of Malligaum Was easily °ere:pied, and I have now turned the si ege into a. blockade until the battering guns and store arrive from Ahmednuggur. Our approact . the l'ettah side ere now within twenty pa 0 the enemy's outworks, and mines may be easily carried on, wl,ich the river on the other side pre vented. The Fort and outworks of illalligaum are nnrtommonly wel!-Intilt, and, without mining, it will br impossible to fill up the different ci. , cht‘s, I itiffirtit the loss of - so many gallant office's and men since I came before this place, but it is with much pleasure I report 'to his Excellency, that every man WEIS cool and de termined, and never flinched mita the recall was sowided.

I forward a copy of the orders I issued the 29th and 3Otl► ultimo. Camp beforl 29th May, 1813 Notwithstanding Major Greenhill and the offi cers and men who moved w wards (he breach this morning met with obstacles not to be surmounted, and were in consequence recalled, Lieut.-Colo net M‘Dowell was highly gratified at witnessing the cool and determined courage of the Europeans and SepOys on this trying occasion; and begs that Major Greenhill, the officers and men in this at tack, will accept his best acknowledgments for their gallant conduct. Every European and Sepoy this morning en gaged, as well as the reserve in the trenches,,must be convinced of the superiority of our troops over these Arabs, although behind walls ; and time com manding officer looks forward for a good road to the breach, to make a'n excel'ent example of them. This order to be particularly explained to the na tive troops of this detachment......_ G. MAITLAND, M. B. Camp before Mailigaam, .31st May, 1618. In nulling the siege of Malligatun into a block ade, the commanding - offiCer has to Ihn►ent the severe loss this detachment has met with in the fall of so many valuable officers and men since the 1811) inst., particularly in Ensign Natter, of Cie engineers, in leading he sappers and miners at the huad of the storming party yesterday ; ti►e service at large, but particulatly his corps, has lust in him a gallant and skilful officer. While Lieut.-Colo nel Nl'Dowell thus deplores the loss in this siege of two successive commandants of the corps of sappers and mine's, he cannot withhold his ap probation from the surviving Officers, and he re quests Ensigns Parton, Lake, and Underwood will accept I►is thanks for their zeal and unwearied ex ertions on all occasions, since they joined this de tachment. Lieut.-Colonel M'Dowell also laments the fall of Captain Kennedy, of the 2d hat. 17th regiment C. L. I. who was mortally wounded close to En sign Mattes, and Lieut. Wi!kinson of the 2d bat. 13th regiment N. 1. who fell at the head of his company, on the same occasion, as also Lieut. Egan of the same corps, who died of the wound lie received on the night of the 28th, while in command of the left post. He is happy, how, ever, to find that he will not long be deprived of the services of Major Greenhill and the other wounded Officers. The commanding Officer takes this opportunity of returning his best thanks to Lieut.-Colonel Crosdill and the Officers and men of the Artillery, f►►r their great and laborious exertion 3 in the dif ferent batteries during eleven days, by which a breach was completed, with a few guns nearly unserviceable. • Lieut.-Colonel PDowell has not yet received from Lieut.-Colonel Stuart, or Major M‘l3ean, the operations of t h e p art i es un der their reports a command in the assaults on different parts of :he Pet t ah, but he is happy to know that their success has given us complete possession of the town. G. MAITLAND, M. B. Copy of a Report from Lieutenant-Colonel AftDowell, to the Adjutant-General, dated Nlalligautn, 17th June, 1818. have the honour to report, for the in formation of bis Excellency the Commander-in- Chief, that the garrison Malligaum surren dered unconditionally on the morning of the 14th inst. After forwarding to you, on the Ist, a return of killed and wounded, and reporting the result of the attacks on the Fort and Town, on the moroiug of the 29th May, 7 changed ground to the Pettab side, throwing up a strong redoubt ‘vherc our breaching battery was, and keeping possession of all our advanced posts on that side, and blockading the place as closely as the range of the shot from the tort would admit. -- • - - inow commenced laying in fresh materials for renewing active operations to occupy, if possible, the place before the heavy rains set in, taking our two unserviceable 18-pounders off the carriages, and bringing from Chandoor and Unki-Tuuki two others. On the 18th, gabions and fascines for two bat teries were completed, and on the 9th, owing to the great exertions of Br igidier-General Smith, a park of tour 18 pounders, three brass 12-po►►nl ers, some mortars and howitzers, escorted by the Ist battalion 4th Bombay infantry, under Major Watson, arrived. On the morning of the 1 1 th, battery of one 10-inch mortar, and seven 8-inch mortars and howitzers opened. Several were mown to ascertain the proper length ut the Born t: fusses, when we commenced a smart bout- ktnent, and at 11 A. M. 1 had the sati•faction to see the enemy's grand magazine blow up, cur rying with it, from the foundation, about 25 yards of the work of the inner fort, son►e of the 1 1 ,igah wall, and filling no Nut of the ditch ; still an i►uweuse btrong wall of the out•works was mire. Wi , hin four hondred yards of this a breaching battery was nearly finished on the night of the 11th, when the, garrison called out for quarter ; our tire on the breach, however, continued till morning, whey► the enemy hoisted a flag, and two Arab Jernidars came out ; I told ►hem uncondi tional surrender was the only terms I could give them. These, in the course of this day, the 12th, were accepted, and next morning a native officer's party wls admitted, and the British flag hoisted on the Tower of the inner fort. Finding that treachery on our part was sus pected, and wishing to do away a report all over Kandcish to prejudicial to our character, I did not hesitate in signing a - paper, declaring, in tlle name of my Government, that the garrison should not be put to death, after they surrendered ; and I trust his Excellency will approve of this. Next morning about three hundred men, mostly Arabs, marched out and grounded, in front of our troops, about nine hundred arms of different descriptions, in an orderly and regular manner, which, with the conduct of these men, on the morning of the 29th May, in allowing me to carry off my killed and wounded, induced me to return to the three Jetnidars, and most of the Arabs, the knives that had belonged to their families for ages. _ _ The ni;;tehlocks, blunderbusses, swords. &e were disposed of to Lieutenant Rind's and Cornea Kaye's auxiliary and ilindoostanee horse.

General Order by his Excellency the Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief,dated Head-quarters, Camp, Oochar, 28th December, 1817. • The Commander-in-Chief has much satisfaction in announcing to the army the successfull result of an attack (f) made by the troops under the command of Brigadier-General Hardyman, con sisting of his Majesty's 17th foot, and the Sth regiment of native cavalry, on a considerable body of the Nagpore Rajah's troops posted near the town of Jubbulpore, and supported by four pieces of cannon ; which, after a short struggle, were captured by our troops, the enemy being completely routed, and dispersed with considera ble slaughter. The evacuation of the fortified town of Jab bulpore, and the capture of several guns, and a quantity of military stores, were the immediate consequences of the foregoint operations, which reflect credit on Brigadier-General Hardytnan, and the troops engaged, and to whom, and espe cially to Lieutenant Pope, Bth native cavalry, the Commander-in-Chief desires that his approba tion and thanks for their conduct may be comma- Dicated.

OLD BAILEY, J. 14. ROBBERY OF LORD BERESFORD. Domingos &Gino was put to the bar under an in►lictment, cb4rging bi►t► with haying, on the Sth of December last, stolen from his master, Lord Berestord, three 1/. Bank notes. The prisoner was dressed in black, and bore a very respectable appearance. lie appeared to be between 40 and 50 years of age. A Jury of half Fineign arid half English was empanelled. Lord Beresford was the first witness called on the part of the prosecution. He said, that the prisoner had been in his service eight or nine years, and had accompanied him from Portugal to England in July last. The business of the prisoner immediately was . to attend him in his dressing room, and he of course had the care of his clothes. It often happened that his Lordship left his money in his pockets. The prisoner had therefore an oppor tunity of knowing what cash was thus by accidem left in his pockets. His Lordship had from time :o time missed money in this Avay, and suspected the prisoner of having taken it. For tll purpose of ascertandog the fact, he took the precaution of marking three I/. notes, the numbers of which he also put down in his pocket-book. He rolled these notes up, and put them into one of his pockets. On the morning of the Bth of December he missed the notes, and sent for Foy, the officer. As soon as the officer came, he called the prisoner before him, and asked "him whether he had any money, and to produce it. The prisoner immediately pulled out a purse containing . quantity of Portuguese gold coin. He asked the prison er whether he had any other money, and he re plied that' lie had not. His Lordship repeated his question, and asked, " Are you sure you have no paper money either in your pockets or among your baggage ?" The prisoner again denied that be had any. The day before this transaction, the prisoner had said that he had no money. Foy, the officer, immediately proceeded to search, and from one of the prisoner's pockets a . roll of Bank notes was produced. It was ofined, and the notes were compared with the numbers which had been put down in his Lordship's pocket-book. — He found these to be the same in all particulars. The notes were here produced. After some confirmatory evidence, the Jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty. The other trials that followed were not in the sliglitest degree interesting.
