The following average prices of Brown or Musco does British Sugars, exclusive of duty, were pub lished in the Gazette of last night : "West India 345. Mid. per cwt. East India 3O 3+ Mauritius 35 11 The average price of the three kinds, taken jointly, is 335. 104 d. per cwt. The actual weights of sugar sold on account of the importers, in tho week ending the 22d inst., accord ing to the returns made upon oath by the sugar bro kers, in compliance with the Act of Parliament, and on which weights the above prices are computed, con sisted of 12,519 cwt. West India, 4,037 cwt. East India, and 1,139 cwt. Mauritius. About 1,400 cwt. of very dark unsound sugar have been sold in the same week at from 18s. to 19s. per cwt. ; these having been classed in the return as East India unfairly depresses the average pric of that kind of sugar, as well as the total average. Generally speaking foreign sugars are ls. per cwt. dearer this week than last ; but white sugar, equal in quality to double refined, manufactured from foreign raw sugar in bond in the British refineries, may be bought to put free on board a British ship at 255. 6d. per cwt. Foreign Muscovado sugars, equal to the average quality of West India sugar, are to be had at 18s. 6d. per cwt., th e f ormer being- 16s. 4d. per cwt. cheaper than the latter. The total sales of British sugars for the week in Mincing-lane were 17,695 cwt..; assuming that the sales, added together, at the outports are to the same extent as the weight sold in the London market, the consumers bought 35,390 cwt. of sugar at 335. 100. per cwt., amounting, in rou n d num b ers , to 60,0001. sterling; they mi g ht h ave b oug h t 35,390 cwt. of foreign sugar, equally good, at 18s. 6d. per cwt., amounting to 33,7351., ex hibiting a difference of 26,2651., being the excess of price paid for British sugars, whi c h, a dd e d to 210,300/., the same description of gain for the pre vious three weeks, as shown by The Sun of the 19th instant, gives 236,565/., the value of the sugar mono poly, to the sugar producers , and t h e cos t thereof to the British public, for four consecutive weeks. The Chinese squeeze amounts to twenty-one mil lions of dullars equivalent to 4,366,6661. un doubtedly a large sum of money to be paid in the course of three years ; if the colonial monopolies were abolished, the saving from the fangs of indirect taxation imposed by them upon the co the United Kingdom, by be to a similar amount in one year.

FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. (Concluded from our Edition of. yesterday.) 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, -1 842. 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 G huznee ; and on the sth again, on the heightS, on the ,north-east of G haznee ; against which place batteries were preptired, on the night of the sth, but the enemy evacu ated the town and citadel during. that and they 'were taken possession of by Major-General Notes troops at day-light on the 6th. . The work of demolidgn was carried on during the 7th and Bth ; and, on the 9th, Major-General Notes army left Ghuznee, leaving the gates and principal build ings on fire, and having- totally destroyed the citadel, and made breuches 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 Mahotned 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 Bale iliFsar 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 Dadur. The second column will have left Quett a h on th e 21 s t, an d th e l ast Was to move about the Ist of this month.—l have, &c. ELLENBOROUGH. 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 Affghans, 38 miles south-west of Ghuznee ; on the Bth of September, by Major General Pollock, over the troops of Mahomed Akbar Khan and Ghilzie Chiefs at Jugdulluck ; and on the 16th of June, by the expedition on tho coast of China, within the mouth of the river Yarig-tse-Kiang at the city of Worsung. In this last operation, and those immediately preced ing it, Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, and Lieutenant- General Sir Hugh Gough took 364 guns front the Chi nese. On the 3d of Sopt. Major-General Nott had advanced :o 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 Nett 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 wliich 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, bad the gratification of affording to his troops the opportunity of proving their superiority to the Atlghans on the very scene of the late disaster on the retreat from Caubul ; and Major-General Sir H. 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. He sees, in the successes already obtained, the certain promise of other more decisive victories, calculated to impress upon all the enemies of the British Government, a conviction of the futility of resistance to the force under his direc- 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. H. MADDOCK, Secretary to the Government of India, with the Governor-General. FROM MAJOR-GENERAL POLLOCK.

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 Sappors ; Broadfoot's Sappers ; Mackeson's Bildars. On approaching the • hills which command the road through the pass 1 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 ere halted while the guns opened, and the enemy were thus enabled on this point - tolire . 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 :n(1 difficult ascent, had not the effect of making them .elinquish it., or of slackening their fire, n hich 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 reeeiied 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 purpose 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 Haish, who, although present in the field, was prevented by his wound received at Mamoo Khail, 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 every direction, a large body of them 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 more arduous task to perform, li and never was an pier taking of the kind surpa sse d in execution : these lofty heights were assaulted in two columns, led by Captains Wilkinson and Broadfoot ; the discomfited Ghilzies, not relishing an encounter, betook themselves to flight, carrying away their standards, and leaving our troops in quiet possession of their last and least assailable stronghold. • 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 actors in those disturbances which entailed such disasters on our troops last winter. The following are the chiefs who were present in the action : lfzeez Khan, Gool Mnhomed Khan, and Suadat Meen Khan—Jubber Kheil Ghilzies. Khodah Busksh Khan, Azul Khan, and Khojoh Ma homed Shah Khan—Chiefs of Tezeen, Babukkur Kheil Ghilzies. Sirdar Khyroolah Khan, Batukzie, Shah Ghazee Khan, Gool Ghilzie, Hajie Ali 'Nick, Ibi abim Khan, and Diullick 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 Hissaruck were also engaged, and indeed the whole strength of the Ghilzie force may be considered to have been b roug ht aga i ns t us, numbering on this occasion from four to five thousand men. Let me now express how much I owe to the brave officers and soldiers who have 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 in mentioning the name of Alnjor-General Sir It. 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 s t a ff, I feel especially indebted 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.

F. S. SOTHEI3Y, Major Commanding Artillery GENELL ORDERS. Simla, Sept. SO, 1842. The.Governor-General announces to.the Army and to the people of India the occupation of Ghuznee by Major- General Nott, on the 6th September, and its entire de struction by the Candahar division of the army. Major General Nott had the satisfaction of releasing in the neighbourhood of Ghuznee, 327 Sepoys of the 27th Bengal Native Infantry; from the slavery to which they 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 or Caubul by the troops under that General on the 16th September. The British flag waves in triumph from the highest point of the Balla Hisser. Thus have all past disasters been retrieved and avenged on every scene on which they were sustained, and re peated victories in the fiel€l,.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 Gtivernor-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 hare 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 hare 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 captor? of Ghuznee, and a similar salute for the capture of Cauhul.

MADDOCK, ESQ., SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, WITH THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL. llead-quarters, Camp, Ghuznee, Sept. 8. Sir,—My dispatch of the 31st ult. will have informed you of my havingdefeated 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 Whit e , o f h er Majesty's 40th Regiment, commanding the light com panies of the army, was pushed forward, accompanied by Anderson's troop of hone artillery, to support the recon noitring party, and I at once 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, during the night of the sth, in erecting a battery for four 18-pounders ; these guns were moved ftom camp before day-tight in the morning of the 6th, but before they had reached the position assigned to them, it was 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 filo troops having been ne cessitated to move under range of the guns of the fortress. inclose a list of killed and wounded. The exertions of Major Sanders, of the Engineers, were as usual, most zealous, and my thanks are 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 with 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 f orce, Affghanistan. P.S. I have recovered about 327 of the . Sepoys of the 27th Regiment Bengal Native Infantry, who had been sold into slavery and dispersed in villages 30 and 40 miles round Ghuznee. W. NOTT. MEMORANDUM Camp Rozeh, near Ghuznee, Sept. 9. On the morning of the sth of September General Nett 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 cite, it was opposed in force, but was immediately supported by the General, and thus reinforced cleared the hills °Me (mime, and took possession of the village, of Bullal, within 400 yards of the city. The General immediately directed this important point, with the heights near. the village, t 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 Rozch, two miles and a half from the . eity. 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 afibrded 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 alb walls. From this battery it was expected that the four 18•-pounder guns Would lay open the thin flank-wall con fleeting the citadel ou 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 cf earth.scross the ditch immediately opposite the point marked out ibr 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 bill. This project met the General'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 giOuniis fur believing the fort was evacuated. At day light 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 Ghuznee 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 3th 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 ; and the outer and lower walls have their revetments blown down and greatly injured in three places. 4. In several spots remote from the mines, the walls, though they have not fallen, are so seriously shaken by the explosions that unless immediate and energetic mea sures are adopted, on the departure of your force, fur their repair and security, they must crumble down during the ensuing winter. 5. The gateways of the town and citadel and the roofs of the principal buildings have been fired and are still burning. I have, &e.. E. SANDERS, Major, Engineers.

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, Sze., 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 Excellency the Commander in Chief, that I marched from Seh Baba on the 11th instant, and arrived at Tezeen 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 e ff ec t s 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 tip one end,of the hill unperceived by the enemy, who were hotly en gaged in th e i r front, and lay c oncealed u. u ntil joined by the more of hi s men , when, rurling up on the flank of the astounded Affghans he inflicted a s evere lesson, poi tr i ng i n a destructive fire upon them an 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 and gallant affair of Lieut.-Colonel Taylor's, and withdrew to the right, where they commenced a furious attack upon a picket consisting of 80 men of the 60tli. Regiment .Nativalnfantry, _commanded by . .110 utgomery, who sustained the assault with great resolution' Until re inforcements reached him, when the enemy were beaten off ; in this attack the picket had 4 killed, Lie► itenant Montgomery and 17 men wounded ; the enemy ca.' e so close that frequent recourse was had to the bayo net. Their attempts on the pickets continued thoughout the .night, but were invariably unsuccessful. The valley of Tezeen, where we were encamped, is completely encircled by lofty hills, •and 6n the mornion 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. The enemy's 'horse appeared in the valley, with the intention.. of falli►►g 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 cu t .. up. The pass of Tezeen affords great advantages to an enemy occupying the heights, and on the present. occa sion sllahoined Akbar neglected nothing to render its it. Our l e n s o i t es m t f e o t r i n t i l i l d e a h b e le ig a h s tt, n7 hers could make and the AffghansS r d •t i o c o t p d s t contrary to their gener a l custom , a d vance d to meet t h em • and a desperate struggle ensued ; indeed, their defence was so obstinate, that the British bayonet in many in stances alone decided the contest. The light company of her Majesty's 9th Foot, led be 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 overthrew their opponents, leaving several horses and their riders, supposes, to be chiefs, dead on the bill; the slaughter was consideraisle, and the fight con tinued during the greater part of Ow day, the enemy , appearing resolved that we should not ascend the Huft Rotul s one spirit seemed to pervade all, 2170 a determi nation to conquer overcame the obstinate resistance of the enemy, who were at length forced Worn their nemerous and strong positions, and our troops m punted the Huft Kotul, giving three cheers when they re: •ched the summit. Here Lieut. Cunningham, with a part vof 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 coati not have goncevery far, I detached a squadron of Dra goons under Captain Tritton, and two Horse Artillery guns under Major Delafosse, in pursuit. Tile gun (a 12-pounder howitzer) with bullocks sufficient for the two guns was soon captured. The Dragoons again got v among the enemy, and succeeded in cutting up tnan of them. Captain Broadfoot with the Sappers advanced,. and with the Dragoons happened to fall in with another party of the enemy, 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 is horn was cavalry, Mahomed Alibar Khan, Mahomed 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 sufferd se verely, having several hundreds killed, losing their guns and three•standards, one of which was taken from the enemy's horse by the Ist Light Cavalry. Although many attetnpts 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, bad 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 gallantry 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 Caubnl 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 accent '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. Sal e , G.C.8., commandingC the advance guard, the most zeal ous co-operation. The 1011 owing 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. 11., command ing her Majesty's 9th Foot ; Major Skinner, her Ma jesty's 31st Foot ; Major Huish, 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 Naple ton, commanding the 60th Native Infantry . ; Captain!

Seperinlending Surgeon Stiven's care in providing for the conveyance and comfort of the wounded has met my • Cu .From Major Thompson, at the bead of the, Commissariat Departmeut, I have received every assist twee ; likewise from Captain Lane, Commissary of Ord nance, whose exertions have been unremitting through out. 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 ; —Ca p tain M a c g re g or 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 master ; Captain Macadam, Deputy Judge-Advocate- General ; Lieutenant Mayne, officiating Deputy Assist ant Quartermaster- General.
