Accounts relative to the expence of the East India College were laid on the table. Mr. Hu= took that opportUnity of calling the attention of the Court to the fact, that military of f icers were at present sent out to India who were ignorant Of the language of the natives. He was anxious that it should be 'made a regulation of the Court of Directors that no person should be sent to India who had not previously received proper instruction in the language. Dr. Gilchrist had formerly 2001. a.year for instructing such cadets as came to him in .the Hindoostannee tongue, but he had been dismissed. The CHAIRMAN said, that no doubt it was proper the young men should have an insight into the Hindoostannee tongue ; but he was of opinion ,that it was better for them to attain that knowledge in India, than to acquire it by remaining fol. some months in London, where their morals were likely to be vitiated. . Mr. HUME observed, there were no less than 22 seminaries out of London,;where the necessary instruction might be ob tained. Mr. R. JAcKsox was of opinion, that it ought to be made obligat:o9 , on , the young men, before they left this country, to acquire some. knowledge of the Hindoostannee tongue. Mr. HUMS then proposed a motion, calling on the Court of Directors to take into their serious consideration the propriety of agreeing to a regulation, orda•ning that no c a det should : be suffered to proceed to India until he had "acquired a certain knowledge of the Hindoostannee language, leaving to the Di rectors to state the period which should be devoted to the study and the extent-to which it should be carried. • General TITORNI:oX seconded the motion, and after - a dis cussion, in which the Chairman, Mr. 'l'rant, Captain Maxfield, Mr. Twining,. the Deputy Chairman (Sir G. A. Robinsoh), Sir P. Laurie, Sir 3. Doyle, Mr. Pattison, and Mr. Astell took part, when there appeared— For the motion, 28 I Against it, 40 I Majority, 14. The CnAnotAx then accpiainVd the Court that he had re ceived a letter, since the atlvertigeinent of the revolution of the of Directors for . granting to Lieutenant-Colonel Staunton an annuity of HIM a year, informing him of the death of that individual. • He therefore had no connnuniCation to make to the Court on the subject. i Hu.str inquired whether Colonel Staunton had not left a widow to lament his loss. Mr. TwtYixo, who hiy;hly • eulogized the character of the deceased, answered in the affirmative. Mr. Hum i hoped, if the lady were iri want of assistance; that the Courf of Directors would not withhold it. The CHAIRMAN said, that any applict:tiOniu her favo4 would be properly attended to. A resolution of the Court of Directors, grunting to Mr. Sand . .. ford Ainott the sum of 1,6001., was agreed to, sub silentio, ject to the confirmation of another general Court. Mr. 1151 ME adVerted briefly to the Oude Papers, which were delivered to the Proprietors on the ,'lst Of last month, turd in quired-whither the Hon. Depitty Chairman, who moved- fin tnein,,mean't to found any motion on their contents? 'The DEP!, TY CHAIRMAN intimated that he did not. Mr. HUME gave notice, that he would, at no distant period, submit to the Court a motion connected with these documents. Si: J. DoY impaired whether a prof, h against the pro duction of those papers had not beer' signed by'stnne of the Director's TheC'4l - AttimAN - antiwered, that as tar as he could recollect there were dissentients on that occasion. Sir J. MYLE took it for granted that the dissent was -re corded, and wished to have it read 111r. HUAIE sU gges t e d that 'it would Not b e r i g h t t o h ave i t read at a moment when the papers were not immediately be fore the Proprietorti. He therefore Twaposecl. that the protest should be printed, and added to the oth , t papers. The motion f or printing the protest was then put, and agreed to: 711 r, HuME inquired Whether any information had arrived, Once the last Court, relative to the unfortunate affair at tlar. a b p y p t oi he nt n ed os t oar.. inquire int o thatraelTore ?

L: 'WATSON. Deputy Adjutant-General of the Army. Adjutant-Generars Office, Presidency Fort William, April 14, 1825. Canp,'Arracan, April 2, 1825. SlR—The Almighty has been pleased to permit that the ex ertions of the South-Eastern Division of the Army should be crowned with complete success. Arracan was yesterday taken, and the 10,000 men that acted under Atown Mungza have, as a military body, been nearly annihilated. The proceedings that have led tcr this result, I shall now have the honour to detail for the information of the Commander-in-Chief. • - On the 24th ult:, the arrangements for the movement of the force from the camps on the Oratung were completed, and the head-quarters of the division *ere established with the second Brigade in advance at Chabattee iShOong, within two miles of the enemy's position in the Padha ffills, the snatch of the re.' mainder being directed as pointed out in bnclosute No. 1. On the 25th ult. beat and pontoon bridges' were Ihrfivrti across the Chabattee and Waibratrig rivers, and in the evening a reconnoissance . was Made; in order to ascertain the situation of the passes through the hills, • and the-obstacles to be encoun tered. The natural ones were considerable,' arising principally from the steepness of the ascents,..and froth the course of deep tide nullahs. On the 26th, the troops then 'present crossed the Wabraing by day-break, and were formed into four columns, as per mar gin :--[Right column, under Brigadier Grant, C. 8., 1 12- pounder, 2 6-pounders. The 2d brigade; . 1 company, 2d Light Infantry, battalion ; 1 ditto of regular pioneers ; centre co lumn, Brigadier Richards; 2 12-pounders, 2 howitzers, Lieut.- Colonel Lindsay. The Ist brigade, 2 companies, 2d Light Infantry battalion, 1 ditto regular pioneers : left column to act with the gini-boats ; Captain Leslie. His Majesty's 54th Re giment; 2 companies ditto; 2 ditto 2d Light Infantry, batta lion rifle company. Mug Levy; 2 companies Mug pioneers. Reserve, Lieut.-Colonel Walker, C. 8., His Majesty's 54th, 1 12-pounder, 2 6-pounders; 3 companiei of his'Alajesty't 54th Regiment; 3 ditto 26th Regiment Bengal Native Infantry; 2 ditto 49th ; 3 ditto temporary pioneers ; I ditto Mug ditto ; 2d local horse.]—The right and centre columns then advanced to force the two passages, while the left, with the gun-boats, under Captain Crawford,-Hon. Company's marine, was to have ascended the river, which appeared to flow through the hills. The boats, however, having groimded on a shoal, Captain Leslie landed his men, and was then directed to skirt the river, end, if possible, to pass by the extreme right of - the first range of hills, with a view of attacking the enemy in their rear, or of intercepting them in their retreat. The centre column had not proceeded far ere the tocsin of alarm, and shouts from the hills, gave notice where they were occupied, and that the enemy were in force. The advance, consisting of the light infantry companies of the 26th, 23th, •49th, and 63d regiments, under the command of Captain -.11-lason, 49th regiment was directed to gain the summit, which was effected in the most gallant manner. The column then moved to its left, to the attack of a stockade; while the light infantry companies, keeping nearly parallel to it, drove the enemy from several entrenched positions along the crest of the hills. Two rounds from the 12-pounders caused the but partly finished stockade to be abandoned ; the men who re tired from it . immediately occupied strong grounds on the heights above. Here, the left column, from being compelled to diverge from the river, joined e and a smart' fire Was con tinued, till the grenadiers of his Majesty's 44th regiment, and left grenadiers of the 49th regiment Bengal Native Infantry, began to ascend at two different points; the enemy then fled; on which the centre column retraced its steps, and defiled through the abandoned 'pass, while the left column proceeded in furtherance of the orders first given. The ground on the north side of the hills proved 'to be an extensive plain, inter sected by several deep tide nullaha belted with jungle. In such a country the flying foe easily escaped, as the cavalry was unable to pursue, till assisted by the labour of the pioneers. The forward movement was, hoWeiter, continued till the three columns united at the Jeejah river; here it was intended to have halted, till the artillery, under the protection of the re serve, could be brought up, but a few companies of the 49th Regiment Native Infantry, under Lieutenant-Colonel Smith, having been pushed acmes to ascertain what was in front, the report was made that the enemy were approaching in column, supported by cavalry. So desired an opportunity was imme diately embraced, the low state of the tide, and the sandy bot tom of the river, enabling the troops to pass without impedi ment. The heads of the column had, however, no sooner de. bouched from the jungle, than the enemy fled, and reached, with but little loss their works that covered the fords of the .11ahattee. . . - - The troops hid now been 'under arms nine hours, and were still anxious to proceed, but a consideration for their physical strength, with an unwillingness to remove still 'further from tbeaupplies, whose arrival Must necessarily be retarded by the - nature of the country passed Over, caused me to direct, that positiOns, where shelter from the sun might" be obtained, should be 'OeCupied. - The fire of the enemy, while they opposed'us, was noisy, but' ill-directed. A furthei consequence of this day's action, beyond the advantage immediately gained, was, that the enemy abandoned their stockades at Kheong Feels (alias Chamballa): The troopi : i, with the exception of the reserve, which did not arrive till near midnight, having gained their exertions to enable the artillery to join, bivouacked by brigades. On the 27th, when the fog dispersed, the order of advance was resumed - , and Major Carter, his •Majesty'4 44th regiment, with eine companies 'of that Corps, 'covered by the light in fantry company' his Majesty's 54th regiment, was directed to c a rry a shod' hill in front of the enemy's works, while the re mainder of the force moved forward in columns, 'at quartet distance, with the artillery on the reverse s an k. . . The ene m y's position wits well choien,l3ei;;g situated or. a peninsula, protected by a broad river, Whose fords are only passable • st nearly low water, and w h o i e b an k s are not on l y s r ee p ; . but covered with sharp stakes.

Lieut. Clarke, • Aide-de-Camp to Brigadier-General IV Bean, with several of the Light Infatuq . company of his Majesty's 54t11 Regiment, got their hands on the trench; but even with .the assistatice such a hold afforded, were unabled to maintain their ground: large stones-were rolled* thetas, and smaller °pee discharged from bows; the tonsequence was, they were preci pitated to the bottom, In this attempt the efilirts were preee vered in till every officer was wounded. reannot here avoid interrupting_the detail to make known, to his Excellency, that on no occasion could British gallintey he mote conspicuously displayed; the conduct of the officers was emulated by the men, and European and native troops vied with each other to equal the example set. _ The guns in the ardour of the moment, had been advanced by Captain Lamb, who commanded them, so far that on the retreat of the troops they became too exposed to be longer serv ed : and. the retiring of them at the time was impracticable without the hazard of sacrificing the men, who would have been obliged to effect it by the drag-ropes. While the attack was being carried on at the pass, the right of the enemy's position was cannonaded, but without any ap parent effect ; the 12-pounders and heavy howitzers were after wards moved to p!ey upon the works at the pass, The AO was continued for an hour, but appearing to be but a uselesS waste of ammunition, I caused it to be discontinued, and thoselgons to be withdrawn ; at the sarneeime an encampment was marked out, the tents were pitched, and at one o'clock the troops fell back upon them, with the exception of the advance, which was continued during the day in the position they occupied. In the dusk of the evening the wounded were brought off, the guns withdraln, and the whole retired without further less e theugh a heavy tire had been continued by the enemy at iutervars dure frig the day. From observations made,. the conviction was established, that' the right of the enetny-'S defences WAS the key of his position. Here the natural obstacles were the greatest, .the approach being protected by a small lake, the ascent. being more abrupt, and the height being more considerable.-- These seemed to.have given a corifidence in its security; and 'though the summit was crowned with a stockade,. and port of the way up thickly abbatised, the number otenen to guard it was not considerable. This point was therefore selected for principal future attack : at the same time, .the construction of a battery for four mortars, two 24-poundere,feur 12-pounders, and two sinch howitzers, to play on the works at the pass, and to draw the enemy's attention entirely to that point, was ordered : the senior engineer officer, Lieutenant Thomp son, received directions to that effect, and-the day. of, the 30th was employed' in bringing from Mahatice the, Accessary materiel. At half-pest seven that evening ground itas.broke ; by three-o'clock the battery finished,. and—before eley-light completely' armed; when the guns .opened, ~and continued during the day a heavy cannonade, which hed the..effect of checking the enemy's fiee, though it was not entirely si elenced. - • .• Instructions were given to Brigadier Richards to make a night attack with the force as per margin :—Right column.—Major Carter, his Majesty's 44th Regiment, 2 companies of - bis Ma je'sty's 44th ditto, 2: ditto (Grenadiers) 26th Regiment, 30 troopers (dismounted).

A copy of the Brigadier's Report of she airegr ; (No. 2) la hefewith enclosed.. •. : •.- .y; A reinforcement of the remainder of the lstbrigade,:with two six-pounders on elephants, was immediately dispatched; arrangements had also been made for storming the w,orks ft the pass, on the morning of the Ist, xhould.the,flre from.thebattery have produced such an effect as would. almest ensure 'the cer tainty of success. Brigadier Richards was also directed to commence; at day-light, an attack on the defences of the inter vening heights. . The difficulty of carrying the guntrue the hill cause adelay, and it was near sev e n o'clock before one was mounted, a few rouride from which silenced the fite ofa 6-pounder that the ene my had planted on the next summit; when the Brigadier ad vanced to the assault.
