Montgomery, who sustained the assault with great resolution until re inforcements reacheil him, when the enemy were beate* off ; in this attack the picket had 4 killed, Lieutenant Montgomery and 17 men wounded ; the enemy cam e so close that frequent recourse was had to the bayonet. Their attempts on the pickets continued thoughout the night, but were invariably unsuccessful. 5-) fcf both tion , tint' de° The valley of Tezeen, where we were encamped, is completely encircled by lofty hills, and on the morning of the 13th it was perceived that the Affghans had occupied in great force every height not already crowned by our troops. I commenced my march towards the mouth of the Tezeen pass, where I left two guns, two squadrons of her Majesty's 3d Dragoons, a party of the Ist Light Cavalry and 3d Irregular Cavalry. Tho enemy's horse appeared in the valley, with the intention of falling upon the baggage, but it gives me very great pleasure to state, that the Dragoons and native cavalry (regular and irregular) made a most brilliant charge, and with such effect, that the whole body of the enemy's force was completely routed, and a number of them cut up. ;ad. 1113 s; LONDON, MONDAY MORNING' SUN3 NOVEMBER 28, 1842.

FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. (Concluded from our Edition of Saturday.) INDIA BOARD, Nov. 23. _ _ Dispatches, of which the following are copies, have been this day received at the East India House, from the Governor-General of India : Simla, October 5, 1842. Hon. Sirs,—The dispatches from Major-Generals Pol lock and Nott, which accompany this letter, will inform you that, on the 30th of August, Major-General Nott defeated Shumshooden Khan, about thirty-eight miles from Ghuznee; and on the sth again, on the-heights on the north-east of G huznee; against which fthree batteries were prepared, on the night of the sth, but the enemy evacu ated the town and citadel during. that night, and they were taken possession of by Major-General Nott's troops at day-light on the 6th. The work of demolition was carried on during the 7th and Bth ; and, on the 9th, Major-General Nott's army left Ghuznee, leaving the gates and principal build, inns on fire, and having totally destroyed the citadel, and made breaches in the walls, which, without imme diate repair, must fall during the winter. On the Bth of September, Major-General Pollock de feated the Ghilzees and Jezailchees of Mahomed Akbar; ar.d, on the 13th, the Major-General entirely defeated Ma homed Akbar, at the head of 16,000 men, at Tezeen. On the 16th, Caubul and the Bala Hissar were occu pied by the British troops. On the 17th, the army of Major-General Nott arrived within five miles of Caubul. Such of the prisoners, :taken by the Affghans on the retreat from Caubul, as were near Caubul, came into the British camp on the 15th ; 700 Kuzzilbashes, with Sir Richmond Shakespear, left Caubul for the Bameean-road, on which the remaining prisoners had been carried ; and it was expected on the 17th that, on the following day, they might be deliVered up to Sir Richmond Shakespear. The feelings with which I have regarded these suc cessful operations will be seen on a perusal of the gene ral orders prefixed to the dispatches published on the 21st and 30th ultimo. It appears by a letter (private) from Major OutrAm, of the 20th ultimo, that, on the preceding day, Colonel Reid, with the first column of Major-General England's army, arrived safely at Daditr. . The second column will have left Quettah on the 21st, and the last was to move about the Ist of this montb.—l have, &c. ELLENBOROUGII. The Secret Committee of the'East India Company. Head Quarters, Simla, 21st Sept. 1842. The Governor-General has this day received the re ports of three victories obtained, on the 30th of August, over 12,000 Affp„,hans, 38 miles south-west of Ghuznee ; on the Bth of September, by Major-General Pollock, over the troops of Mahomcd Akbar Khan and Ghilzie Chiefs at Jugdulluck ; and on the 16th of June, by the expedition on the coast of China, within the mouth of the river Yang-tse-Kiang at the city of Woesung. In this last operation, and those immediately preced ing it, Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, and Lieutenant- General Sir Hugh Gough took 364 guns from the Chi nes 4e. On the 3d of Sept. Major-General Nott had advanced to Nance, a short march off Ghuznee. On the 9th of September Major-General Pollock had advanced to Kutta Sung, and had experienced no op position. Formed as the troops under Major-General Note have mostly been by four years of constant service, and habi tuated as they have been to victory under their able commander, the Governor-General had anticipated their success against any force which could be brought against them. It is to the Governor-General a subject of sincere satisfaction, that the events of the campaign should have opened a more extensive field to that brave army on which it may make manifest to the world the high quali ties he has long known it to possess. Major-General Pollock has, through the prudence of his arrangements, and the correctness of the movements directed by him, had the gratification of affording to his troops the opportunity of proving their superiority to the Affghans on the very scene of the late disaster on the retreat from Caubul ; and Major-General Sir R. Sale, at the head of the garrison of Jellalabad, worthily sup. ported by the reinforcements from India, has had the glory of leading the army on its triumphant return to the capital of Affganistan. The Governor-General regards, with the highest ad miration, the noble ardour which has, in these several Operations, been manifested, equally by the officers and soldiers of both nations, and of all arms. Ile secs, in the succ.s,s aireAay obtained, the certain promise of other more 'decisive victories, calculated to impress upon all ilie ;o. c ,; . r TIM ent ti conviction of the futility of resistance to the force under ms Lome tion, and tending, under the continued favour of Provi dence, to effect the first object of his desire, the resto ration of peace to Asia. By order of the Right Hon. the Governor-General of India. (Signed) • T. IL MADI)OCK, Secretary to the Government of India, with the Governor-General. FROM MAJOR-GENERAL POLLOCK C. 8., COMMANDING IN AFFGHANISTAN, TO T. 11. MADDOCK, ESQ. Camp Kutta Sung, Sept. 9, 1842. Sir,—l have the honour to forward, for the informa tion of the Right Hon. the Governor-General, the copy of a letter which I have this day addressed to the Ad jutant-General of the Army, detailing the operations against the enemy near Jugdulluck, yesterday. I have, &c. (Signed) GEORGE POLLOCK, Major-General, Commanding in Affghanistan. P.S.—I have this moment received two letters from Major-General Nott to your address, which I have read, thinking they might contain information which would regulate my movements. FROM MAJOR. GENERAL G. POLLOCK, C.D., COMMANDING THE TROOPS IN AFFGHINISTAN, TO MAJOR-GENERAL LUMLEY, ADJUTANT-GENERAL OF THE ARMY. Camp Kutta Sung, 9th Sept., 1842. Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that I left Soorkab on the morning of the Bth inst,, in progress to Jugdulluck, with the following troops :- Ist Division, under the command of Major-General Sir R. Sale, G.C.8.-2 guns 3d Troop Ist Brigade H. A.; 6 ditto No. 6 Light Field Battery ; 3 ditto Mountain Train; her Majesty's 3d Light Dragoons; 1 squadron Ist Light Cavalry; 3 Resullahs 3d Irregular Cavalry; her Majesty's 9th Foot; her Majesty's 13th Light In fantry ; 26th Regiment Native Infantry ; 35th Regi ment Light Infantry ; sth Company of Sappers ; Broadfoot's Sappers ; Mackeson's Bildars. On approaching the hills which command the road through the pass, I perceived their summits were occu pied by a considerable number of men, and a nearer view enabled me to ascertain the nature of their posi tion, which was one of singular strength and difficult of approach. The enemy were assembled in bodies appa rently under different chieftains, each having a distin guishing standard. The hills they occupied formed an amphitheatre in clining towards the left of the road on which the troops were halted while the guns opened, and the enemy were thus enabled on this point to fire into the column, a deep ravine preventing any contact with them. The practice of the guns was excellent, yet ' the enemy appeared so determined on making a stand that the bursting of the shells among them on the right hill, which was of a conical shape and difficult ascent, had not the effect of making them relinquish it, or of slackening their fire, which now became heavy from all parts of their position, causing several casualties. It is with the deepest feeling of regret I have to de plore the loss of Capt. Nugent, Officiating Sub-assistant Commissary-General, who was shot here and died almost immediately. I had lately received the most important and valuable assistance from him ; the service has lost a promising officer, and the department to which he be longed a most efficient member. As the guns appeared to have little effect in forcing the enemy to quit the heights, I resolved upon attacking them ; for this purpo,.e Captain Broadfoot was detached to the extreme left of the enemy's position, and his sap pers commenced ascending a steep hill, on the top of which the enemy were entrenched in a sungah, her Majesty's 9th foot, under Lieut.-Colonel Taylor, were directed to cross a deep ravine and assault the hills on the opposite side, where the enemy held a ruined fort, and were with their chiefs and cavalry in considerable numbers. Her Majesty's 13th Light Infantry, led by Captain Wilkinson, commanding the regiment, attacked the hill which may be considered the key of the position. The 9th, accompanied by two companies of the 35th Native Infantry, under Liutenants Boileau and Trench ; the 13th by 130 men of the 26th, led by Captain Gahan (Major Ilaish, who, although present in the field, was prevented by his wound received at Mamoo Khali, from assuming the command) rushed up the heights simultaneously, and the animated and enthusias tic cheer they gave, seemed to strike a panic into the enemy, for they dared not wait the collision, but fled down the hills, and were enabled to escape chastisement by the nature of the ground, which was so well calculated to favour their retreat. At this moment, Major Lock wood, with her Majesty's 3d Light Dragoons, galloped up. and very nearly succeeded in overtaking the enemy's cavalry, but I am very sorry to say they also effected their safety by flight. Captain Broadtoot had completely succeeded in the attack he made, and the enemy were dispersed in e very direction, a large body of the retiring to the summit of a high mountain. On this apparently inaccessible height they posted their standards, and showed every demonstration of maintaining it. As the achievements of the day would have been incomplete were they suffered to remain, I decided upon dislodging them. The troops named in the margin* advanced under cover of Captain Abbott's guns, and those of Captain Back house's mountain train. Seldom have soldiers had a' PUBLICATIONS.

It gratifies me to be enabled to state, that we have thus signally defeated, with one division of the troops, the most powerful tribes and the most inveterate of our enemies, the original instigators and principal actor 3 in those disturbances which entailed such disasters on our troops last winter. The following are the 'chiefs who were present in the action : lizeez Khan, Gool Mahomed Khan, and Suadat Meen Khan—Jubber Kheil Ghilzies. Khodah Busksh Khan, Azul Khan, and Ihojeh Ma homed Shah Khan—Chiefs Of Tezeen, Babukkur Kheil Ghilzies. Sirdar Khyroolah Khan, Barukzie, Shah Ghazee Kban, Gool Ghilzie, llajie Ali 'Nick, Ibrahim Khan, and Mullick Suddoo—sent by Mahommed Akbar Khan from Caubul, to co-operate with the Ghilzies. Ibrahim Khan and Mullick Suddoo—Lugman chiefs. The petty chiefs of Ilissaruck were also engaged, and indeed the whole strength of the Ghilzie force may be considered to have been brought against us, numbering on this occasion from four to five thousand men. Let me now express how much I owe to the braye officers and soldiers who hare thus gallantly asserted their superiority in arms ; were I to name all who merit eulogy, I should feel obliged to enumerate every officer who was present. I feel considerable diffidence iii mentioning the name of Major-General Sir R. Sale, G.C.B. whose heroic con duct in the field stands so little in need of my commen dation. On this occasion I was an eye-witness to the personal intrepidity . of this highly distinguished officer, as he led up the heights in advance of his own regiment under a very hot fire. To the officers in command of regiments, and detach ments, and to the heads of departments, also to the offi cers of my personal and the general staff, I feel especially iniebted for the zealous and efficient manner in which they performed their respective duties ; and I trust his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief will bring to the notice of his Lordship the Governor-General, that every individual engaged has exerted himself to the utmost to serve his country. I hare the honour to enclose a rough sketch of the scene of operations, and a return of killed and wounded. I have, &c.

I proceeded at a trot for about a' mile and a half, when we were closing well with the enemy, 911 of a sudden we came on a ravine with steep sides, which for a time com pletely brought us up ; however, we managed to file down and form again on the opposite side.

We cut up about 50 of them. Lieut. Chamberlain's party from the other flank destroyed 12 more. The enemy, I should think, amounted to about 300 horse and foot.

Major .General Nott had the satisfaction of releasing Beng - al Native Infantry, from the slavery 143 - w iCh i ♦ hey had been reduced by the Affghans. The Governor-General likewise announces the :com plete defeat of Mahomed Akbar Khan at the head of 16,000 men, at Tezeen, on the 13th of September, by Major-General Pollock, and the occupation of Caubul by the troops under that General on the 16th September. The British flag waves in triumph from the highest pjit tr litkl ou alla Hissar. st disasters been retrieved and avenged on every scene on which they were sustained, and re peated victories in the field, and the capture of the cities and citadels of Ghuznee and Caubul, have advanced the glory and established the accustomed superiority of the British arms. The Governor-General has derived much satisfaction. from the report made by General Pollock, of the ad mirable conduct of the troops of 11. H. the Maharajah Shere Sing, acting in co-operation with the British army. The Governor-General rejoices in this new proof of the cordial good understanding which prevails between the British Government and that of Lahore. The report of Major-General Pollock leads the Go vernor-General to expect that long before this day all the British prisoners taken by the Affghans will have been brought into the General's camp ; those who had been left near Caubul were already at liberty. The Governor-General,in the name of the Government and of all the people of India, offers to Major-Gen. Pol lock and Major-Gen. Nott, and all the officers and troops under their respective commands, his grateful and heart felt acknowledgments of the important services they have performed. The Governor-General directs that the recent suc cesses obtained by the armies in Affghanistan be fully made known to all the troops, at all the stations of the army, and that at all those stations a salute of 21 guns be fired for the capture of . Ghuznce, and a similar salute or the capture of Caubul. By order of the Right Hon. the T. G Hovr.MA-G e DDOCK- nl. of India. FROM MAJOR-GENERAL W. NOTT, COMMANDING FIELD FORCE, AFFGHANISTAN, TO T. H. HADDOCK, ESQ., SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, WITH THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL. Head-quarters, Camp, Ghuznee, Sept. 8. Sir, —My dispatch of the 31st ult. will have informed you of my having defeated the Affghan army commanded by Shumshoodeen. On the morning of the sth inst. I moved on Ghuznee. I found the city full of men, • and a range of mountains running north-east of the fortress covered by heavy bodies of cavalry and infantry ; the gardens and ravines near the town were also occupied. The enemy had re ceived a considerable reinforcement from Caubul, under Sultan Jan. I directed Major Sanders, of the Bengal Engineers, to reconnoitre the works, under escort of the 16th Regi ment of Native Infantry and a party of irregular cavalry. This brought on some smart skirmishing, in which our Sepoys behaved to admiration. Captain White, of her Majesty's 40th Regiment, commanding the light com panies of the army, was pushed forward, accompanied by Anderson's troop of horse artillery, to support the recon noitring party, and I at onea determined on carrying the enemy's mountain positions before encamping my force. The troops ascended the .heights in gallant style, driving the enemy before them until every point was gained. The village of Bullal is situated about 600 yards from the walls of Ghuznee, upon the spur of the mountains to the north-east, and observing it to be a desirable spot for preparing a heavy battery to be placed 300 paces in ad vance, I ordered it to be occupied by two regiments of infantry and some light gnus, and retired the columns into camp. The engineer officers, Sappers and Miners, and in fantry working parties, were employed under the direc tions of Major Sanders, daring the night of the sth, in erecting a battery for four 18-pounders these guns were moved ftom camp before day-light in the morning of the 6th, but bef they had reached the position assigned to them, it was ore ascertained that the enemy had evacuated the fortress. I directed the city of Ghuznee, with its citadel and the whole of its works, to be destroyed. I forward the En gineer's Report. In these operations our loss has been much less than might have been expected from the numbers and position of the enemy, and the fact of the troops having been ne cessitated to move under range of the guns of the fortress. I inclose a list of killed and wounded. The exertions of Major Sanders, of the Engineers, were as usual, most zealous, and my thanks aro due to him and the department under his charge. I beg to notice the following officers :—Brigadier Wymer, Major Hibbert, commanding her Majesty's 40th Regiment ; Captain Evans, in temporary charge of the 16th Regiment of Native Infantry ; Captain White, her Majesty's 40th Regiment, commanding the light com panies of the force ; and Major Sotheby and officers of the artillery. I have every reason to be satisfied mith my staff; Captain Polwhele, Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General ; Captain Waterfield, Aide-de-Camp ; Captain Ripley, and Lieutenant Kay, Deputy Judge Advocate-General. I continue to receive the greatest assistance from Major Leech. I have, &c., W. NOTT, Major-General, Commanding 'Field Zone, Affghanistin; MEMORANDUM. Camp Rozeh, near Ghuznee, Sapt. 9. On the morning of the sth of September General Nott moved his camp to take up a position before Ghuznee. An advanced party was ordered to protect a reconnais ance of the works undertaken by the engineer depart ment. On the approach of this party to the hills north of the city, it was opposed in force, but was immediately supported by the General, and thus reinforced cleared the hills of the enemy, and took possession of the village of Bullal, within 400 yards of the city. The General immedi a tely directed this important point, with the heights near the village, to be maintained, and they were occupied by two regiments of Native Infantry and two nine-pounder guns. While these operations were going on the camp was established at Rozeh, two miles and a half from the city. • The_guards required for the protection and general duties of the camp absorbed so many men, that but few were available for the duties of a siege. .The General there fore determined not to invest the place in form, and di rected the engineer to concentrate the forces at his dis posal in one spot, where protection might be most conve niently afforded to the siege operations. With advertence to these instructions, the engineer proposed to establish a battery on the ridge of the hill north of the town, in advance of the village of Bullal, and distant about 350 yards from the nearest point of the walls. From this battery it was expected that the four 18-pounder guns would lay open the thin flank-wall con necting the citadel on the west with the town wall in a few hours. The defences of the citadel could be swept from the same point by the Light Artillery, and the lines of loopholed wall which would bear on the advance of the storming party were all viewed in enfilade from the site selected for the battery. The advance of the party to the assault would have been greatly facilitated by the exist ence of a thick dam of earth across the ditch immediately opposite the point marked out for the breach. It was further proposed that the principal assault should be supported by two other attacks ; one an attempt to blow in the water-gate (both the others hav ing been strongly built up, and the causeways in front of them cut through), another to 'escalade a weak point near the Caubul gate, which would have been greatly aided by the fire of the artillery from the hill. This project met the Gener'al's approval, and at dusk on the evening of the sth of September a working party, composed of the Sappers and 160 men from the regi ments occupying the hill, commenced work on the bat tery. By 4 A.M. on the 6th of September cover for the party had been secured across the ridge of the hill, and so much progress made in the execution of the work as ,to lead to reasonable expectations that the four 18- pounder guns and two 24-pounder howitzers would be established in position, and ready to, open their fire during the day. Early on the evening of the sth a brisk matchlock fire was kept up from the citadel on the hill, but this gra dually slackened, and at 10 P.M. had entirely ceased. ' The enemy's infantry had been observed at dusk crossing the river near the water gate, with the intention, it was supposed, of attacking the working party during the night ; but towards the morning of the 6th there were grounds for believing the fort was evacuated. At day this was ascertained to be the case by Lieut. North, of the Engineers, who took possession, at that hour, of the water-gate without opposition, leaving Ensign New ton and twenty sepoys of the 16th Native Infantry, in charge of the gateway, and returning to the battery for further assistance. The whole of the working party was immediately moved into the town, of which and of the citadel of Ghuznee they were in possession before sun rise. EDWARD SANDERS, Major, Engineers. FROM MAJOR E. SANDERS, ENGINEERS, TO MAJOR-GENE RAL W. NOTT. Camp Rozeh, near Ghuznee, Sept. 9. Sir,—On the occupation of the fortress of Ghuznce by the troops under your command, I received orders from you to take measures for the destruction of the citadel, to as great an extent as the means at command and the time afforded by a halt of two days would permit. 2. I have now the honour to report, that the engineer department attached to your force has been employed during the 7th and Bth instant on the work of demoli tion, and to state the progress effected. 3. Fourteen mines have been sprung in the walls of the citadel, all with good effect. The upper fort has been completely destroyed ; the second line of works ex tensively breached in two places': 4 ‘and the outer and lower walls have their revetments blown down and greatly injured in three places. 4 4. In several spots remote from the mines, the walls, though they h ave fallen, are so seriously shaken by not _ . sures are adopted, on the departure of your force, for their repair and security, they must crumb!e down during the ensuing winter. 5. The gateways of the town and citadel and the roofs of the principal buildings hare been fired and are still burning. I have. &e.. E. SANDERS, Major, Engineers.

F. S. SOTHEBY, Major, Commanding Artillery. FROM MAJOR-GENERAL G. POLLOCK, C. 11., COMMANDING IN AFFGUANISTAN, TO T. 11. MADDOCK, ESQ. Camp, near Caubul, Sept. 17. Sir,—l have the honour to forward, for the informa tion of the Right Hon. the Governor-General, copy of my despatch, of date the 14th instant, to the address of Major-General Lumley, Adjutant-General of the army. I have, &c., GEORGE POLLOCK, Major-General Commanding in Affghanistan. FROM MAJOR-GENERAL G. POLLOCK, C. 8., TO MAJOR GENERAL J. R., LUMLEY, ADJUTANT -GENERAL OF THE ARMY. Camp, Bootkhak, Sept. 14. Sir—l have the honour to report, for the information of his Excelleney the Commander in Chief, that I marched from Seh Baba on the 11th instant, and arrived at Tezcen the same day, where I was joined by Major- General M'Caskill, with the 2d division. On the 12th I halted, in consequence of the cattle of the 2d division having suffered, from the effects of fatigue, caused by their forced march ; this halt the enemy imagined to be the result of heSitation, and in the afternoon attacked the pickets on the left flank, and became so daring that I considered it necessary to .send Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor, with 250 men of her Majesty's 9th Foot, to drive them back ; some sharp fighting took place, and the enemy were driven up .the neighbouring hills, from the crests of which they kept up a heavy fire. Lieut.-Colonel Taylor, however, with a small party crept up ono end of the hill unperceived by the enemy, who were hotly engaged in their front, and lay concealed until joined by a few more of his men, when, rushing up on the flank of the astounded Affghans, he inflicted a severe lesson, pouring in a destructive fire upon thew as they fled down the hill. A ,chieftain was found among the slain, who it is supposed was the brother of Khoo dabux Khan. The enemy remained inoffensive on our left flank, in consequence of this very well planned a nd gallant affair of .Lieut.-C o l o n e l Taylor's, andwithdrew to the right, wh ere t h ey commence d a furious attack The pass of Tezeen affords great advantages to an enemy occupying the heights; and on the present °tea sion Mahomed Akbar neglected nothing to render its natural dif fi culties as formidable as nnmb er s could make it. Our troops mounted the heights, and the Affghans, contrary to their general custom, advanced to meet them and a desperate struggle ensued ; indeed, their defence was so .ebstinate, that the British bayonet in many in stances alone decided th e con t est . Th e li g h t company of her Majesty's 9th Foot, led by Captain Lushington„ who I regret to say was wounded in the head, ascending the hills on the left of the pass under a heavy cross-fire, charged and over threw their opp onen t s , l eav i ng severa l horses and their riders, supposed to - be chiefs, dead on the hill; the slaughter was considerable, and the fight con tinued during the greater part of the day, the enemy appearing resolved that we should not a scen d the..Huft Kotul ; one spirit seemed to pervade all, and a determi nation to conquer overcame the obstinate resistance of the enemy, who were at length forced from their ny.merous and strong positions, and our troops mounted the Huft Kotul, giving three cheers when they reached the summit. Here Lieut. Cunningham, with a party of Sappers; pressed the enemy so hard that they left in their precipitation a 24-pounder howitzer and limber, carrying off the draught bullocks. Having heard that another gun had been seen, and concluding that it could not have gone very far, I detached a squadron of Dra goons under Captain Tritton, and two Horse Artillery guns under Major Delafosse, in pursuit. The gun (a 12-pounder howitzer) with bullocks sufficient 1(7 the two guns was soon captured. The Dragoons again got among the enemy, and succeeded in cutting up many of them. Captain Broadfoot with the Sappers advanced, and with the Dragoons happened to fall in with another part) , 'of 4.l3e.snenty, of whom upwards of twenty were killed. I have ascertained there were about 16,000 men in the field opposed to me, a considerable portion of whom was cavalry, Mahomed Akbar Khan, Mahomcd Shah Khan, Ameen Oollah, and many other chiefs with their followers were present, all of whom I have reason to believe have taken to flight. We have gained a complete victory, and our enemies' have suffered' se verely, having several hundreds killed, losing their guns and three stantlards, one of which was taken from the enemy's horse by the Ist Light Cavalry. Altheugh many attempts were made at the baggage, none were successful, chiefly owing to the judicious and admirable arrangements of Lieutenant-Colonel Richmond, com manding the rear-guard, and for which he deserves the greatest credit. The Lahore contingent, under the able direction of Captain Lawrence, has invariably given the most cheer ful assistance, dragging the guns, occupying the heights, and covering the rear-guard. While ascending Huft Kotul and at Tezeen their long jezails told effectively in keeping the ground. Major Skinner, her Majesty's 31st Foot, had been de tached with a strong party on the night of the 12th, for the purpose of dislodging a body of the enemy on the heights in front of the camp ; this duty was performed with great g allantry the next morning, and his operations contributed much to frustrate the attempts of the enemy on our right flank. As the Major's movements were for some time separate from those of the main column, I deem it expedient to annex his report. The enemy being completely dispersed, we pursued our march and encamped at Khoord Caubul without fur ther opposition. The troops on this, as on all former occasions where they have been engaged with the enemy, showed the most determined valour, and I feel that I cannot too highly praise their conduct • each regiment seemed to vie with the others in their endeavours to dis lodge the enemy, which they most effectually accom plished. I,have received from Major-General M`Caskill, K.H., who on this occasion commanded the main column, every assistance, and from Major-General Sir R. Sale, G.C.8., commanding the advance guard, the most zealous co-operation. The following officers have also given me every reason to be satisfied with their exertions :—Bri gadier Monteith, C. 8., commanding the 4th brigade ; Brigadier Tulloch, commanding the 2d brigade, and Bri gadier White, commanding Cavalry brigade ; Lieut.- Colonel Bolton, commanding her Majesty's 31st Foot ; Lieut.-Colonel Richmond, commanding 33d Native In fantry ; Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor, K.H., command ing her Majesty's 9th Foot ; Major Skinner, her Ma jesty's 31st Foot ; Major Hnish, commanding 26th Na tive Infantry ; Major Delafosse, commanding the Artillery ; Major Crommelin, commanding the Ist Light Cavalry ; Major Lockwood, commanding her Majesty's 3d Light Dragoons ; Captain Maple ton, commanding the 60th Native Infantry ; Captain Seaton, commanding the 35th Regiment of Light Infan try; Captain Ferris, commanding the Jezailchees; Cap tain Wilkinson, commanding her Majesty's 13th Light Captain Tait, commaiaiirg the -- airitiular taiilry, and Captain Lawrence, commanding the Sikh contingent ; Captain Abbott, Chief Engineer ; Captain Abbott, com manding the Light Field - Battery ; Captain Alexander, commanding the 3d troop of the 2d Brigade of Horse Artillery ; Captain Backhouse, commanding the Moun tain 'Train ; and Lieutenant Beefier; - commanding the Sappers and Miners. The services of Mr. Mackeson, commanding the Bildars, have always been conspicuons. Superintending Surgeon Stiven's care in providing for the conveyance and comfort of the wounded has met my approbation. From Major Thompson, at the head of the Commissariat Department, I have received every assist ance ; likewise from Captain Lane, Commissary of Ord nance, whose exertions have been unremitting through ...aut. From the following officers of my personal and the general staff I have on this, as on every other occasion, received the most effectual aid :—Captain Macgregor and Lieutenant Pollock, Aide. de-Camp ; Lieutenant Sir R. Shakespear, Military Secretary ; Captain Ponsonby, Assistant Adjutant-General ; Captain Codrington, As sistant Quartermaster -General ; Captain Riddle, Pay ; I Captain ieu t e n a 3 n l t a c 3 a i d a a y m n e , oDeputyffici a Judge-Advocate- General ud g Deputye -A d vo c Assist anta te mGasenleerral Q u artermaster General. The following officers of division and brigade sta ff have also effectivel y p erformed their respective duties :—Captain Havelock, Deputy As sistant Adjutant-General ; Brigade Majors Havelock, Smith, Wade, Lugard ; and Brevet Captain Fitzgerald, artillery division staff. I must not omit the expression of my regret for the fate of Hyder Ali, the native com mandant of the Jezailchees a most gallant and enterpris ing soldier, who was killed while attempting to seize one of the enemy's standards. I have the honour to forward reports from Lieutenant- Colonels Richmond and Taylor, and Major Skinner, with returns of killed and wounded, and of ordnance, ammunition, and stores captured.—l have, &c.
