I N I) I A. SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE, OF TUESDAY, THE 25TH OF OCTOBER. FRIDAY, OCT. 20,1823'. India Bourd, October 27, 1825. A Dispatch has been received at the East India llotise from the Governor-General in Council at Fortwilliam, in Bengal, dated the 29th April, 1825, of which Dispatch, and of its in closures, the following are an extract and copies : Extract of a Letter from the Governor-General in Council to the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors of the East India Company, dated Fort William, April 29, 11125. AVith sentiments of the highest satisl4ction we have the ho nour to announce to your Honourable Committee the import ant intelligence received this day from Brigadier-General Sir Archibald Campbell, of the capture of Donabew, the prin cipal fortified position of the Burmese, with all the artillery, stores, and the greatest part of the enemy's boats. We have the honour to transmit, as numbers in the packet, a copy of Sir Archibald Campbell's Dispatch of the 2d instant, report ing this gratifying news, and copies of some previous Dis patches, received at the same time, relating to the operations of the detachments under Brigadier-General Cotton and Major Sale. We beg leave to congratulate your Honourable Com mittee on these highly interesting and important events, which, coupled with our late signal successes in Arracan. cannot, we conceive, fail to produce - a powerful impression on the Court of Ava. Copy of a Letter from Brigadier-General Sir Archibald Camp , bell, K.C.B. to George Swinton, Egli. Secretary to the' Ben ! gal Covernment, dated Head-quarters, Camp before Dona_ hew, March 29, 1025. SIR_In my last from Surrawah, dated the 3d instant, I had the honour to report to you my uninterrupted march to that place, and my very early prospect of reaching Prome, if not prevented by a resistance on the part of the enemy at Dona bew, which, from the information I then had, I had little reason to contemplate. On the 7th instant I distinctly heard a heavy cannonade in the direction of Donabew, lasting from seven in the morning until two in the afternoon, when it en tirely ceased; 1 hoped, in consequence, the place had fallen, and the general information of the natives, in the course of the night and following day, tended to confirm me in that opinion. I, in Consequence, continued my forward movement on the 9th, and reached the town of U-au-fleet on the 10th, a distance from Sarrawah of twenty-six miles. On the morning of the 11th I received a few lines from Brigadier-General Cotton,- informing me that the firing of the 7th proceeded from an attack made by him on one of the enemy's outworks at Donabew, which was, in a very gallant style, carried, with a loss to the enemy of from four to five-hundred men, killed; wounded, and prisoners; but, that on pushing on his column for the assault of part of the principal work, he found it too strong for further perseverance, and consequently withdrew his troops, stating that neither he nor Captain Alexander deemed it proper to make further attack until reinforced, or hearing from me—a resolution, from what I have seen,. I most fully approve of. My small and inefficient equipment rendering me wholly dependent on the flotilla for supplies, the free and open communication of the Irrawaddy ne cessarily formed an object of primary importance, and not wish ing to leave the key of all *my future operations subject to any farther contingency, 1 at once resolved to return my whole co lumn to assist in the reduction of a place apparently possessing every advantage that the skill, art, and labour of an ingenious people could bestow upon it. During the night of the 11th I commenced my march back to Sarrawah, where a most difficult and arduous task awaited me—the passage of the Irrawuddy, with from 10 to 15 canoes as our only means of crossing. The zeal and exertion of the heads of departments and commanding officers of corps with the cheerful assistance of every soldier, lightened all our labours —and on the morning of the 18th, I had the pleasure of seeing my whole force on the west bank of the river. By great labour in making roads, &c. I reached this place on the 25th instant, and on the 27th opened a communication with a marine column. We are now, night and day, employed in p re p arat i ons f or t h e reduction of Donabew. It is commanded by Maha Bundoola in person, and the garrison is rated at 15,000 fighting men, of whom 10,000 are musqueteers. Herewith I enclose Brigadier-General COtton's report to me of his late operations; and I have the honour to forward you a Dispatch from Major Sale, acquainting me with the annexation of the province of Bassein to our other conquests in this quarter, which has deprived the enemy of all his maritime possessions from Cape Negrais to Tenasserim. I hourly expect the junc tion of Major Sale's detachment with this force. I have the honour to he, &c. ARCHD. CAMPBELL, Brig. Gen. Copy of a Report from Brigadier-General Cotton to Brigadier- General Sir Archibald Campbell, K.C.8., dated Pandang, 24th February, 1825. • Sir—l have the honour to acquaint you that the water co lon= embarked and proceeded to Pagoda Point, on the 16th instant. On the 17th they reached Teesit, where three stock ades, destroyed by Brigadier-General Fraser some time since, were found re-built. but evacuated ; they were immediately destroyed. The light division of boats from his Majesty's navy, under Lieutenant Smith, of the Alligator, was fired upon some few miles in advance the same evening from the bank, where the enemy had a stockaded breastwork, and lost two men killed and one wounded ; the boats pulled, under fire of their carro nades, immediately in shore and destroyed it. On the morn ing of the 18th, I directed Major Basden, commanding the ad vance, to reconnoitre the right bank and burn another stockade 4e had discerned the evening before, which was done, and the flotilla proceeded up the river. O n approaching Panlang, we anchored the body of the column, and I proceeded with Cap .tains Alexander and Chads, of the Royal Navy, and Captain Steel, Assistant Quarter-Master-General, to reconnoitre in our front, directing the advance division to follow in support. On reaching the light division, at dusk, who were resting on their oars, we found ourselves in sight of one of the outward stock ades of Panlank, on the left called Youtheet. It was too late to complete a reconnoisance, but the light division were anchored immediately out of gunshot, supported by the advance; which took a position in their rear. During the night sothe formidable fire-rafts were launched by the enemy, but owing to the pre cautionary measures adopted by Captain Alexander their effect was totally lost. The following morning, (the 19th), - I proceeded, - at . day.light, accompanied as before, to perfect the reconnoisance, and to arrange for the attack. It was then ascertained, that opposite to Youtheet stockade there was another on the right hank, named Illighee, and about a mike further up the river, on the point of land fofmed by the river dividing, was discovered the very ex tensive stockade of Pauglang. All were at this time occupied. As it was desirable to bring up the armed vessel Sattelite, and as the tide did not serve until a late hour, ample time was given to arrange the columns of attack, and direct the . powerful arty) of artillery I had with tae to distract their attention, and shell .the outer stockades. A point of land, about . 500 yards distant 'from the outer works, was immediately occupied, and a battery of four mortars and two six-pounders erected, under the direc tions of Captain Kerman and Lieutenants Onslow and Spites, whose exertions enabled it to open in an beitir from the time they received the order ; two columns of attack were formed on the right and left banks, the right under Li eu t enant _ Colonel O'Donaghu e , an d t h e left under Majorilasden, with .orders to attack the stockades situated on their respeCtive bank, and then advance, according .to circumstances, after their re duction. _ The Saellite having grounded as she was coming up, the exertions to get her off delayed .the attack until five o'clock, when the steani-vessel arrived singly, and immediately pro ceeded in advance, and anchored between the two stockades, the boats advancing a little in her rear, w hi m ' t h e attack was . - immediately made. The enemy fired fro m b ot h their positions, B.tclotlfbu-oer:the moment the tro o p s l anded to storm them. The then' which I joined from the stearriAbat a s it w shore, and the l e f t advanced by the re spective banks. The Tantaheen Creek was forded, by my ;wt.- sonal order, with the column under Lieutenant -Colonel O'Do naghue, and the branch of the river leading to Yanganchinyah still interposing, no time was lost in re-embarking the troops, .and pushing them to attack the main stockade the last hope of the enemy. It was found deserted, the •Burmese having left it by both flanks, and one day's operation •was crowned with complete success by, half-past . six o'clock. These objects have been effected, 1 ant truly happy to add, with t h e less, naval and military, of only two men, which I attribUte - to the enemy having, been, completely distracted' and panic-struck by the fire of the mortars in their outworks, and in the rapidity w.th which the gallant combined force advanced from one posi- PRICE SEVF,NPENCE tiOri.t6 the other, until the main point was in our possession. The rockets were of the most essential service, and I consider them as one of the most formidable weapons to .make use of against the Burmese. The enemy, whose force is estimated at between foot thousand and five thousand men, and a consider able number of war-boats, were commanded by the Keewoor gee, who is reported to have left the outer stockade as the troops landed. The alacrity, zeal, and courage manifested by the officers and men collectively and indiv4ually, I beg to bring to your notice in the strongest terms—l trust also I may, be allowed to express, in the warmest way, the obligations lam under to Captain Alexander and Captain Chads, of the Royal Navy, for the invaluabl e ass i stance I d er i ve d f rom the known cape rienee and judgment of those gallant of f icers. To Brigadier Mallet, his Majesty's 89th regiment, second in command, with this column I am particularly indebted for the assistance I re ceived from him. To Lieutenant-Colonel O'Donaghue, 47th regiment, and Major Bastion, his Majesty's 89th regiment, who, as I before stated, conducted the . two columns to the attack, I wish to offer qty stron4- acknowledgments for th e gallantry and acal they displ a yed in leading them. To Cant, Steel, Assistant-Quarter-Master.4ieneral, who was with me Teconnoitring, love much for his judicious assistance, and beg to recommend him to your notice as a most active and .enter prising officer. My best thanks are due to Captains Ker and Laurie, of the Adjutant-G enera l' s D epartment, and the whole of the Staff of the Madras Division were most anxious to dis play their zeal for the service. To Brigade-Major Sadlier and Capt. Wainwright of the 47th, and Lieut. Wilson of the 13th, who are my personal Staff, I return my warm acknow ledgments for their activity and zeal. To Capt. Kennan, who commands the Artillery, every praise is due, and he speaks of Lieuts, Onslow and Symes. as being most eminently useful un der his orders. The practice of the portion of the rocket troop we had on board the steam boat.. under Lieut. Paton, was ex cellent., and materially aided the operations of this evening; and. I beg to bring that Officer strongly to your notice. I have re quested permission from . Captain Alexander to express my obligations to Lieutenant Smith, of his Majesty's ship Alliga tor, for the gallantry and judgment with which he has always conducted the light division of boats,' and I beg leave to bring him to your particular notice. He has mentioned to me, that lie has derived great assistance from Lieutenants Keele and Kellet, of the Royal Navy. Lieutenant-Colonel Mallet has reported to me, in the highest terms, the exertions of his Brigade Major Captain Young, of his Majesty's 89th regiment. _ _ The stockade of Paulang is one of the best constructed I have seen, and by cutting off (which I have done) two-thirds of it, and running a work across it, I have rendered the remain der a post of considerable strength, and flanked as it will be by the Satelite, fully equal to repel any attack, and keep open the communication of the river. The exertions required to get off the Satellite, and for the formation of, this post, with the reconnoitring party which it was necessary to send, to ascertain the depth of each branch of the river leading to the Irrawuddy, have necessarily delayed us here for some days, but we shall move to-morrow by the one leading to Yangundbynyah. _ I have, &c. WILLOUGHBY COTTON, Brig. Gen Copy of a Report from Brigadier-General Cotton to Brigadier- General Sir A. Campbell, K. C. Ik, dated near Youngyoun, • 9th March, 1825. Sin-- 7 I do myself the honour to report to you the operations and progress of the column under my command, since the date of my last dispatch, the 24th ultimo.—On the 25th of .Fe bruary; the flotilla proceeded to Mezlee, about ten miles from Panlan, up the branch of the river leading to Yangunchynyah. , Information was this day received that the light and advance divisions had the evening before taken up a position in the river Irrawuddy, commanding the entrance of the branch leading to Panlang. The report received was, that the passages though extremely intricate, might be made good. The following morning (the tlfith) we were enabled to proceed to Talyhda, the distance estimated to be 18 miles from the last anchorage.— Here commenced the shallows, and the heavier vessels ground.- ed. On the 27th it was found necessary to unload the warn vessel and gun schooners, for which purpose boats were allotted, and the remainder of the flotilla joined the advance division in the lrrawuddy. I proceeded on the 28th to reconnoitre, and first came in contact with the enemy at Youngyoun, about ten miles above our position.. They occupied the left hank of the river, as we advanced, and appeared to be an outpost from . Donabew, the white pagoda of which was visible about ten. miles higher ttp the river. The right bank was deserted, ex ceptby a few Carrians. - The.whole of the flotilla, except those employed in 'assist ing the heavy vessels through the shallows andover the bar, were directed to proceed and occupy the position recon noitred the day, before. When they had advanced about half way it was discovered that the enemy had occupied a post on the right bank, and pushed on thirteen war:boats. The .latter were driven away by the boats of the light division, while a few men of the 89th regiment were landed, who dispersed the rormer, killing sonic and taking one prisoner, at the expence of four men slightly wounded. The flotilla occupied the posi tion pointed out, resting the left upon an island which here di vides the river; two six-pounders were placed upon the point Completely commanding the space between the island and the left bank, which is about one-third of the whole width of the river, and giving us free intercourse with the right bank. 'The last of the vessels having arrived on the evening of the .sth in stant, the flotilla got under weigh early on the morning of the 6th, and took up a position about two miles below Donabew, while I proceeded with Capt. Alexander, R.N. In front.to recon noitre. It was evident that the, enemy had prepared tto receive us below his position, having a succession of formidable stock ades, commencing at the • pagoda, and continued increasing in strength, until completed by the mainwork, which is lofty, 'upon a very commanding site, surrounded by a deep abbatis, with all the customary defences. The guns appeared to be numerous, and the garrison were seen in crowds upon all the works. At half-past one o'clock P. M. 1 sent, by the prisoner taken on the Ist, a flag of truce, with a summons to surrender the place, giving one hour for a reply, which ,arrived at half past three. It contained a civil but decided refusal to accede to the proposed terms. A party of one hundred and sixty men of hislllajesty's 89th regiment, covered by the light divi sion, and some row -boats, had been prepared to land on the right bank, to reconnoitre a point opposite the main stockade. which waS in possession of some men belonging to war-boats, that were lying . under cover of the bank of the river. This party was immediately advanced, some of the war-boats re tired under the guns on the opposite side, where they wets un.• assailable, and the object of the reconnoissance was com pletely gained. During the time that our boats were•in progress, and while lying at ,the point, the enemy kept up an incessant fire from about 'thirty pieces of cannon, many of heavy calibre. The precision with which they were directed, gave a colouring of truth to the report that the Chief, Bundoola, had been for some time practising his artillery. The range had been well ascertained, and : the river was commanded all across. The point is well adapted for a battery of heavy mortars; an island above the main stockade would be available for the same purpose ; and by attacking on that side, the necessity of previously carrying the lower stockades would be obviated. This was the plan of attack 1 was most anxious to adopt. The objections to 'it are •as fol low :—ln consequence of your short dispatch of the 2d instant, from Sarrawah, and to supply the wants of 'the• column under my command, I dispatched on the sth, eight flat boats to Pan lang, to bring provisions for both columns. This entailed upon us the absolute necessity of maintaining the command of the river between Donabew and that post, or hazarding the cap ture of a convoy upon which the success of the whole cam paign will depend. The column . you did me the honour to place under my comm an d was orig i na ll y compose d of seven hundred anti fitly bayonets (Europeans) exclusive of the 18th Regiment of Native Infantry, stationed at Panlang. Of these, 25 men were left to guard the armed transporiSatellite ; about 25 more were sick, a proportion less than I could have expect ed, small guards are required for the different boats, leaving me about six hundred bayonets disposable for the attack of a strong place, the garrison of which is no where estimated at less than twelve thousand men, well furnished with artillery. and muskets. It is obvious that this small force could not be, separated. Upon consulting with' Captain Alexander, whe ther, if I passed the position for thepurpose of attacking above it, he could keep open the river below us, it was :his opinion that one half of the force would he requisite . for this important purpose.' Your dispatch from Lain, of the 24th ult., depend- In g , upon me for the conquest of this. position;, devolved upon me the necessity of maki ng th e a tt empt;: an d I h a d no option but that of landing below-the whole of the, works, attacking them in succession, while the flotilla defended the river. , Preparations were accordingly made to commence with the pagoda stockade; and at sun-rise, on the ;th instant, five hun- NAVY-OFFICE, October 28 , 1525.
