with a party of the Bengal Police Battalion attached to the European attachment, likewise accompanies for sub raission. Captain Harrison to the Assistant-Adjutant-General- Dinapore. Dinapore, July 31, 1857. Sir,—lt is wit much concern I have to report, for the infcrmation of the Major-General commanding division, on the following occurrence connected with the expedition to Arrah, for the purpose of relieving the European inha bitants at that station. A 3 o'clock p.m. of the 20th inst. the steamer carrying detachments as per margin,* arrived off the point of de barkation, about 3 miles from the mainland. The party of Sikhs were detached, and shortly afterwards reached the shore for the purpose of seizing boats to enable the de. tachnients to pass over. On arriving there, under the com mand of Lieat. Ingilby, 7th Native Infantry, the party were fired upon by some of the rebels posted on the spot to prevent the seizure of the boats by us. These, however, we landed, after some shots were fired in direction, and after about three hours and a half the passage was accom plished. Having formed, the detachments commenced their march towards Arrah at 7 o'clock p.m., and, with the exception of a few shots being fired at the Sikhs thrown out on our flacks, w e reached without opposition a b r id ge di s t an t from Arrah about one mile and a half. This was the place where I had represented to Captain Dunbar the ex pediency of halting until daylight; to which he replied he bad heard from the magistrate of the improbability of our =toting with any opposition; he thought it was preferable to push on. After advancing from the bridge about half an hour, wo were assailed, from the embankment of a wood on the right of the road, by a large body of the rebels firing about 30 yards distance on the flank of the column, which at once did severe execution, and was followed up by a continued running fire, which caused great destruction among offi ten and men. Here, I believe, Captain Dunbar fell. The men endeavoured to gain shelter on the other side of the road, but it being quite dark, they fell down a steep embankment (about six feet), and many men lost their firelocks. After straggling for some distance, the officers succeeded in re-forming the men in a field some 400 yards from the ambuscade, and took up a position for the night (it was then about midnight, and very dark), in a field ad joining, which seemed to afford some protection. Here we remained until daylight, the rebels keeping up a fire during the night on our position. We then commenced our retreat towards the steamer, 12 miles distant. Inconsequence of the men of both regiments having fastedsuch a long time:they were too exhausted an tired to act as skirmishers. However, our rear-guard and files on the flanks frequently kept up a fire until all their ammunition was expended, by which time we arrived at the bank of the river. We were compelled to march in column, the rebels pursuing us in large bodies the whole distance to the gkauts, both on flank and rear; but their fire visibly slackened the last two miles. The rebels, it was supposed, were running short of ammunition, and wished to reserve it. On our arriving at the ghants, notwithstanding the ef fors of the officers, the men made a rash to the boats ; immediately upon which the rebels advanced upon us, and commenced a heavy firs of musketry and two guns upon the boats, which were forsaken by the boatmen. This caused great loss, and one fired one of the boats. The remnants of the detachment gained the steamer, which I immediately ordered to Dinapore, to gain assist ance for the wounded. The loss we Inflicted on the rebels I believe to be small, on account of tho darkness, and the men being too ez hansted to fire. The people of the country turned out against us.—l hay., &c. R.;;.P. HARRISON, Captain, Commanding detachment of her Majesty's 37th Regiment. Lieutenant Waller to the Assistant-Adjutant-General, Dinapore. Dinapore, July 31, 1857. Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of the Major-General commanding the station, that, hearing on the evening of the 29th, that a party of her Majesty's 10th Regiment was ordered to proceed to Arrah, I volun te, red to accompany them. We started from here at day light on the 30th. in the steamer , and proceeded np the river to where the flat attached to the Government steamer Horungotta was, and took her in tow, with a party of her Majesty's 37th R eg i men t, an d 50 Sikhs of Captain Rattery's police corps on board ; the steamer Ho rn ,gosta being on board. We then proceeded to Beharee-Ghant and anchored, Lent. [lngilby, 7th Native Infantry, then gave me com mand of the 50 Sikhs ; Ensign Anderson, 22d Native In fahtry, and Ensign Venonr, of my own regiment, volun teering to do duty with me. Lieut. Ingilby then proceeded, with 15 men, Sikhs of the 7th and Bth Nativelnfantry, whom he had taken from here with him to a nullah about. two miles off, for the purpose of seizing the boats to cross the detachment. About twenty minutes after Lieut. Ingilby had left, I heard shots in the direction of the nullah, and immedi ately started with my fifty men ; but when I got up to the place the firing had stopped, except a few shots which were fired to stop the boat that was sailing up the river, although desired to stop. Lieut. Ingilby then crossed the nnith with his fifteen men, leaving me on the other side. I then sent off one of my men to Captain Dunbar, to tell him we needed no assistance, hoping I should be in time to prevent his coming with his detachment, who were cooking when I left ; but they had got about half-way before my messenger reached them. Up on th e arr i va l o f the 10th and 37th Regiments at the nullah, the order was given to cross, which took up a long time, as the current of the river was very strong, and the boats large and heavy ; we had finished crossing by six o'clock p.m., an I then commenced our march—except that the road was dreadfully uneven and very distressing to the feet, we had no difficulties of any kind ; it was a moonlight night, and the only armed men we saw from the time we left the steamer until our arrival at Arrah were the few men who fired at Lieutenant Ingilby, and who were left (so the villagers said) by Baboo Koowar Sing, to give him news as soon as we arrived, which showed, with what occurred afterwatcle, that they were well aware of the party having been sent against them. We arrived in Arrah about 11 o'clock (it was then quite de. le. as the moon had gone down), and were proceeding quickly through the outskirts of the town in the following order :—Lieut. Ingilby a short way a-head of the column with his 15 men; then her Majesty's 10th, followed by my Sikhs; and her Majesty's 37th brought up the rear; when, in passing by a large tope of mango trees, which Lieu tenant Ingilby had passed without seeing or hearing any thing, we received a most dreadfully severe fire, which I heard killed a good number of our men, who, not being pr. pared, and the fire being so heavy and so very close to 111, ran off the road into the fields on the other side, and frum thence commenced firing on the tope. I lost on the road the native officer, a first rate fellow, who was shot close to me, and also some men, but how many I do net know, as we did not go near the place again. The men were dreadfully scattered, and there was great difficulty in collecting them ' • some did not join ns till th e nex t d a y, and others were dropping in all night. We then retreated to another road, and lay down behind a small " which rose along both sides of the road facing the topes in which the rebels were, and which afforded a capital shelter from the fire, which was kept up at short intervals all night, It was after retreating to this band that Ensign Anderson Atli killed ; poor fellow ! he was shot dead through the heart. We remained here during the whole night, and at daylight started back for the steamer, a distance of about 13 wiles. We were followed in large numbers by the rebels ; the mein body would not come within range, but they sent out a great number of sepoys (picked shots, I fancy) right an.l left, who took advantage of every tree and inequality of the ground the whole way, and kept up, without the ' least cessation, a most severe fire on our column the whole march—nearly all, or a great part, of their shot telling on ns, whereas they were so much scattered, and au well covered, that they did not suffer much loss ; however, although we lost a great number of men, we arrived at the gh ut with comparatively very little loss to what we ex pected. When we arrived at the mulish we found a number of large boats on this aide, into which the men immediately rushed, and commenced trying to shove the boats across, bir, most of them were aground, and the others were so laree that the men could not manage them, and all the boi tmen had been driven away by the sepoys; every time a a an showed himself outside a boat he was fired at from the village, whfch was close by, and at last the men gave up altogether the idea of getting across in boats, and, tak ing off all their clothes, those that could swam across. Upon getting down to tke nullala, Ensign Venour and I got into the boat with some of the men, and while I was shoving out the boat we tried with a rifle to shoot some of the fellows who were making &mark of use. He knocked over one, but unfortunately got shot himself immediately aft. r through the thigh, and dropped. I tied up his leg as well as I could, and getting some more help I succeeded in vetting the boat off, but the fire was so hot, as they saw a chance of our getting away from them, that I and four men left the boat and swam ashore, being fired at the whole way across. Ensign Venour also left the boat a short time afterwards, and although wounded managed to swim ash ire; the fire from the village the whole time was most severe, killing and wounding a great number. After those who could swim got away, the sepoys first opened a most severe fire on the few who remained in the boats that were aground, and after wounding most of the men in them they all rushed down and set fire to the roof. It was here that poor Lieut. Ingilby wee killed, and a gre .t number of wounde.l, who had been carried so far, e obliged to be left ; a few escaped in a small boat in which some Sikhs took some wounded officers across (En sign Erskine amongst others) whom they brought for above ruihs on a bed, procured in a village. They icurned a leveed time with the boat, indespite of the fire. Nothing could be better than the way in which the Sikhs behaved from the time I got command of them ; they imai!e themselves extremely useful in every way, and were always cool, steady, and under perfect control.---I am, &e., H.

This force halted about a mile from the Edgha Serai, and a little before sunset was joined by the mutineers from the city. For some little time I was doubtful as to their in tentions, but as the sun went down about 5,000 of 6.000 infantry came down with six light guns, through the Kis sengunge and Pahareeporee Buildings, taking advantage of the cover as they advanced. The Sammy-house was attacked, and here I had 100 of Major Coke's regiment and 50 Guides, the piquet under command of Capt. Tra vers (who, I much regret to say, was mortally wounded during the night, and is since dead) ; I sent orders to him to encourage the enemy to approach, and not to fire until his men were sure of their aim ; shortly after this I heard a rattle of musketry from the breastwork on the right of the Sammy-house, as also from the judo sure, and the enemy then opened with their light guns on the crow's nest, the breastwork, and our right flank bat teries. It became necessary, about 7 o'clock, to send rein forcements to the Sammy-house, so I accordingly directed Lieutenant M - Gill, with his company (60th Rifles), which had come up in support, to proceed to the breastwork on the right, whilst I sent Captain Derby, with 50 men of the 61st Foot, to the inclosure. Repeated attacks were made throughout the night, and at one time the enemy came up within 20 paces of the Sammy-house in very considerable force, but, as on all former occasions, was driven back with, I should say, very great loss, but, owing to the cover .they had, they were able to remove their dead without being seen ; 127 bodies have, however, been since counted between the breastwork and the Tobewalah Bazaar. A little before daylight on the 2d, fresh troops were brought up, and another attack was made on the Sammy house and breastwork, on which I directed a company of the 60th Rifles, under the command of Captain Sir E. Campbell, to aid in driving the enemy back. A large force attempted to turn the right, and get round to the Subzoe Mundy tent ; in order to do this they had to cross the road and the ground which has now been cleared of all jungle. As soon 29 they had got on to the road, with a body of cavalry which came up from the Edgha, I ordered the offi cer commanding the light gun battery to give them three rounds of grape whilst our light mortars played on them from the crow's nest; they flaw back to their cover on the left of the rand immediately, and did not again show in any force. Brigadiar-General Havelock to the Deputy-Adjutant. General of the Army. Camp, Mungul war August 6, 1857. Sir,—l beg you will acqua i n t hi s ixeellency the Com mander-in-Chief that, having received information that the enemy had reoccupied Busherutgunge in force, I ad vanced against that place yesterday, turned the left of the position with the Highlanders, Sikhs, and Capt. Maude's battery, under Col. Hamilton. Attacking in front with the rest of my force, I drove the enemy out of the town, and across the narrow causeway and bridge with great slaughter, and returned to this position at night. Not a soldier or armed villager on the enemy's side dared to fol low me. Two insurgents had eight or ten guns beyond the cause way; two on this side of it. Two of those beyond were 24-pounders. The whole were kept at such a distance, and withdrawn so rapidly, that we never got a fair sight of them. None, therefore, fell into our hands ; but two on the walls, which had been captured on the 29th ult., and dis mantled by the commander of artillery, so imperfectly, however, that the enemy again fired out of them. I estimate the loss of enemy at 300 killed and wounded; mine was 25. _ _ . The enemy will net, I fear, again venture to fight witba narrow causeway and swamp in his rear. I inclose a return of the casualties; also a sketch of the ground.—l have, &c., H. HAVELOCK, Brigadier-General, Commanding Allahabad Moveable Column.

Bivouac, Mungulwar, Cula, Aug. 12, 1857. Sir,—Be pleased toinform the Commander-in-Chief that, I was yesterday prepared to cross over to Cawnpore by the bridges and boat-equipage which Lieut.-Colonel Tyler and Capt. Crommelin have established ; but I had determined that, if there should be any considerable assemblage of hos tile troops in my front, I would not await their attack in this strong position, but take the initiative, and strike a blow against them. In the coarse of the day, a succession of spies brought me information of about 4,000 moo, with some guns, having come forward from Nawabgenge to Busherutgunge. I at once pat my force in motion, although its baggage and spare ammunition, additional doolies, &c., were already on the right bank. My advanced guard pushed the enemy's parties out of Onao, where my force bivouacked under trees. Marching at dawn, it found him for the third time prepared to defend Busherutgunge, and thus came on our eighth combat since the 12th July. The insurgents were about 4,000 in number, with six field-guns. They bad varied their mode of defence by entrenching the village of Boorbeeake-chowkee, in advance of Busherut. My superior artillery fire would soon have crushed them, but I could only slowly bring my batteries and echelloned troops across the wide and deep morasses which protected their front ; meanwhile their shot and shell caused some loss in my ranks ; but when these obsta cles were passed, success was speedily achieved. The Highlanders, without firing a shot, precipitated themselves with a cheer nyon the principal redoubt, and captured two out of the three horse-battery guns with which it was armed. The Fusiliers at the same time drove the enemy's extreme left before them, anti the whole line was speedily in full retreat. About 10 a.m. the enemy commenced moving off in the direction of the city, but it was not until 4 p.m. that I had the satisfaction of seeing them in full retreat with their guns. I cannot speak too highly of the coolness of the troops under my command throughout the night ; there was no noise whatever—no hurry or confusion; and my warmest thanks are due to all for their gallantry and daring. This report would have been furnished before, but my duties at this piquet would not admit of it. A return of our loss has already been furnished ; I am happy to say it was slight in comparison with that of the enemy.—l have, &c. C. ItEID. Major Reid to Brigadier-General Wilson. Main Piquet, Hindoo Rao's House, Aug. 12, 1857. My dear General—My report of the attack on my posi tion on the night of the Ist and morning of the 2d instant, was a hurried affair; but I am indeed glad you have given me an opportunity of bringing to notice the names of offi cers and men who have served under me since the Bth of June last. I cannot speak too highly of the conduct of tho detach ment of the 60th Royal Rifles, who have on all occasions behaved admirably, and ever maintained the reputation of their distinguished corps. I would wish to bring to your notice the names of two officers of this regiment, viz., Cap tain Sir E. Campbell and Captain J. R. Wilson, who have at different times commanded the parties on duty at this post, and from whom I have always received the greatest assistance. Both are most excellent officers, and I beg to recommed them to notice. I estimate their loss at 300 killed and wounded ; my own was 35. I retraced my steps leisurely to this position. A body of troops under Munsoob Ales, a rebellious Talookdar, made an effort to interrupt our progress by a demonstration on our right flank, but were compelled to retreat by our artillery fire. This action has inspired much terror amongst theenemy, and I trust will prevent his effectually opposing our em barkation at Cawnpore, which is a difficult operation. I have, &c., H. HAVELOCK, Brigadier-General, Commanding Allahabad Moveable Column. My acknowledgments are due toLieut. R. H. Shebbeare, now commanding the distinguished Corps of Guides, who has been three times slightly wounded whilst on duty with me here; also to Lieutenant Hawes, Adjutant (like wise wounded), and other officers doing duty with the corps. Detachments of theist Pusjaub Infantry, and 4th Sikhs, have since their arrival in camp been constantly on duty at this piquet, and have always behaved on all occasions of attack with gallantry. To Lieut. Fisher, the second in command of my regi ment, and the officers doing duty, my warmest thanks are due. The conduct of the men you have already been pleased to make honourable mention of; it only remains for me to say that they have done their duty most cheer fully. My thanks are also due to the officers and men of the Bth and 61st Foot, who have at different times taken the duties of the Snbzee Mundy Piquet, which is under my orders.—Yours sincerely, O. REID.

Sir,—l have to request the favour of your informing the Commander-in-Chief that I marched to this place yester day. The mutineers of the 31st and 42d, from Sanger, the 17th, from Fyzabad, and sepoys of other regiments, with troops of the 11 Light Caualry and 3d Irregulars, united to a por tion of Nana S thib's troops were, with two guns, in one of the strongest positions I have ever seen : they numbered 4,000 men. The plain, densely covered with thicket, and flanked by villages, has two streams flowing through it, not fordable by troops of any arm, and only to be crossed by two narrow bridges, the furthest of which was protected by an intrenchwent armed with artillery. The road takes a turn after passing the second bridge, which pro tects the defenders from direct fire . and behind are the narrow streets and brick bosses of Bithoor. I mast do the mutineers the justic3 to pronounce that they fought obstinately ; otherwise they could not for a whole hour have held their own, even with such advan tages of ground, against any powerful artillery fire. The streams prevented my twining them, and my troops were received, in assaulting the position, by a heavy tire and musketry fire from the rifle and battalion companies en gaged; but after a severe struggle, the enemy wore driven back, their guns captured, and infantry chased off the field, in full retreat towards Seorajpore. Had I possessed cavalry not a rebel or mutineer could have reached that place alive ; as it is, they shall not remain there unmolested. The loss of the enemy is estimated at 250 killed and wounded ; mine is 49, and my numbers are further reduced by sun-stroke and cholera.

For the further proceedings I beg to refer his Excellency to Major Eyre's despatch. His reputation as a successful leader had already been so well established, that I pur posely selected him for this duty, in the perfect confidence that he would succeed. The importance of this success will, I am sure, be fully appreciated by your Excellency and the Governor-General. I now consider my communication secure, which otherwise must have been entirely cut off during our operations in Oude • and a general in s u rrec ti on , I am assured, would have followed throughout the Doab had the enemy not been destroyed, they being but the advanced guard of more formidable invaders ; from which evils having been pre served by Major Eyre's energy and decision, that officer, and the detachment under his command, are, I consider, entitled to thankful acknowledgments from Government, which lam confident will nol be withheld.—l have, &c., J. OUTRAN, Major-General, Commanding Cawnpore and Dinapore Divisions. Major Eyre to Colonel Napier. Koondun Puttee, Sept. 11, 1857. Sir, —I am happy to have it in my power to report, for the information of Major-General Sir James Outram, K.C.8., that the expedition he did me the honour of en trusting to my command has been attended with entire success, awl the daring invasion of this territory from Oude has been signally punished. I arrived at Hutgong last evening at dusk, where I was joined by Captain Johnson's troop of the 12th Irregular Horse, 40 in number. As they had marched 24 miles, and were in need of rest, I halted till half-past 1 a.m., when we had the advantage of moonlight to pursue our march to Koondun Puttee, where we arrived at daybreak. The Oude rebels, having 133 en apprised a little previ ously of our advance, had fled precipitately to their boats, about half a mile off. I ordered the cavalry under Capt. Johnson and Lieut. Havelock to pursue them, and fol lowed up myself with all practicable speed with the infan try and guns. We found the cavalry had driven the enemy into their boats, which were fastened to the shore, and were maintaining a brisk fire on them from the bank ab On the arrival of the detachments of Hill's sth Fusiliers and 64th Foot, under Capts. Johnson and Turner, the fire of our musketry into the densely crowded boats was most telling ; but the enemy still defended themselves to the utmost until the guns under Lieut. Gordon opened fire, when the rebels instantly threw themselves panic-stricken into the river. Grape was now showered upon them, and a terrible fusi lade from the infantry and cavalry maintained until only a few scattered survivors escaped. Their num bers appeared to be about 300. Prewcougly to their plunging into the river, they threw their guns overboard and blew up one of their boats, which had been boarded by a party of infantry, whereby, I regret to say, one man of Hill's sth was killed, and ten more or less injured (of whom five were Europeans and five natives) All the officers mentioned above distinguished thomselves highly ; and the conduct of the men was all that could be desired. Lieut. Impey, of the Engineers, and Mr. Volunteer Tarboy have likewise, by their zeal and usefulness, merited my thanks and commendation. Brigadier-General Nicholson to Major Ewart, Deputy Assistant Adjutant-General. (Without date.) Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of Major-General Wilson, commanding before Delhi, that, agreeably to his orders, I marched from this at daybreak on the 25th, with the troops noted in the margin,* to in tercept a force of the enemy, said to be moving from Delhi towards Bahadurghur, with the intention of attacking us in rear. On my arrival at the village of Nanglooee, about nine miles from this (and on the road to which I bad to cross two difficult swamps), I learned that the enemy had been at Palum the previous day, and would probably reach Nujufghur in the course of the afternoon ; I therefore decided on leaving the Bahadurghur road, and, if possible, coming up with, and routing the enemy at Nujufghur before nightfall. I crossed a tolerably deep and broad ford, over a branch of the Nujufghur Jheel, near the Baprowla, at about four p.m., and fund the enemy in position on my left and front, extending from the bridge over the Nujufghur canal to the town of Nujufghur—a distance of a mile and three quarters or two miles. Their strongest point was an old serai on their left centre, in which they had four guns ; nine more guns were between this and the bridge. It was five o'clock before the troops were across the ford and parallel with the position. As the evening was so far advanced and I had no guides, I laboured under the dis advantage of being compelled to make a very hasty recon nail ance. The plan which I determined on was, to force the left centre (which, as I have said, was the strongest part of the position), and then changing front to the left, to sweep down their line of guns towards the bridge. I accordingly formed up her Majesty's 61st Regiment, the Ist Fusiliers, and 2d Punjaub Infantry (with the ex ception of 100 men of each corps whom I had told off on the march as a rear guard and reserve), with four guns on the right and eight on the left flank, supported by the squadron 9th Lancers and Guide Cavalry ; and after the artillery had fired a few rounds,l advanced and charged with the infantry. The enemy was driven out with scarcely any numerical loss (though her Majesty's 61st had a most gallant an 1 promising officer, Lieut. Gabbet, mortally ounded); I then changed front to left, and so turned the whole position in which their guns were, The enemy made little resistance as we advanced, and wore soon in full retreat across the bridge, with our guns playing upon them, 13 of their field pieces having fallen into our hands. At the same time that I attacked the serai, I directed Lieutenant Lumsden, officiating Commandant of Major Coke's regiment, the Ist Punjab Infantry, to advance, and clear the town of Nujufghur on our right. This service was well performed, and without loss, by Lieut. Lumsden, who, after passing through the town, brought his right shoulders forward, and followed in rear of the main line. The enemy's guns were now all in our possession, and I supposed the conflict at an end, when it was reported to me that s few men had concealed themselves in the little village of Nuglee, which was at this time a few hundred yards in rear of our line. I immediately sent orders to Lieut. Lumsden, who was nearly abreast of the village, to drive then out ; but though few in number, they had re mained so long that our troops were on all sides of them; and seeing no line of retreat open, they fought with ex treme desperation. Lieutenant Lumsden was, I regret to say, killed, with of his men • t more were wounded; and I was obliged to send back the 61st Regiment to reinforce the Ist Punjab Infantry. This corps also suffered the loSs of an other gallant officer, Lieutenant Elkington, dangerously woundd, and men killed and several men wounded, before the village was in our possession. The enemy's cavalry, apparently not less than 1,010 strong— more than once made a show of charging during the action, but were on each occasion driven back by the fire of our artillery. Our own cavalry I regretted much my inability to employ against them; but I hal been obliged to leave the squadron of the 2d Punjaub Cavalry under Lieut. Nicholson, and 120 of the Mooltanees, to look after the baggage; and I had, of lancers, guides, and Mool tanees, not more than 300 left to escort the guns and form a reserve. I passed the night at the bridge, with the let Fusiliers and 2d Punjaub Infantry, and a detachment of artillery and lancers. I had the bridge mined, and blown up by the Sappers, and all the waggons an :I tumbrils which I had not the means of bringing away were also blown up by Major Tombs. Shortly after daybreak in the morning, I started on my return to camp, and fearing lest more rain should render the ground (already sufficiently difficult) quite impractic able, I brought the column in the same evening. It only now remains for me to fulfil the pleasing duty of expressing my extreme satisfaction with the coeduct of the troops in these operations. No soldiers ever advanced to the attack of a position with greater gallantry and steadi ness than her Majesty's 61st Regiment, the Ist Fusiliers, and the 2d Punjaub Infantry. No infantry was ever more ably assisted by artillery. Major Coke's regiment, under its gallant and lamented officiating commandant, sustained its high reputation. The troops are likewise entitled to great credit for the cheerfulness with which they bore the hardships they were exposed to. They rucrched at day break, and had to cross two difficult swamps before their arrival at Nanglooee ; as it would not have been prudent to take the baggage across the ford at Baerowla, they were obliged, after 14 hours marching and fighting, to bivouac on the fiel 1 without food or cov er i ng o f any kind. - The officers to whom I am most indebted for their ser vices on this occasion, and whom I would beg to bring prominently to the favourable notice of the Major-General are Major Tombs, commanding the artillery (this officer's merits are so wel! known to the Major-Geueral that it is unnecessary for me to dwell upon them) ; Major Jacob, commanding let Fusiliers; and Captain Green, command mg 2 1 Punjaub Infantry, and Captains Remington and Blunt, and Lieuts. Wilson and Sankey of the Artillery. I also received every assistance from my staff and orderly officers, Captain Blanc, 8.M., Captain French, and Lieut. Dixon, Captain Shute, Deputy Assistant Quartermaster- General, and Lieut. Lowe, on the staff of the major-gene ral commanding. Lieut. Sarel, of her Majesty's 9th Lancers, to whom I entrusted the command of tho cavalry with the guns dur ing the action, and of the guard on the 26th, performed those duties very much to my satisfaction ; the same re marks apply to Capt. Gordon of her Majesty's 61st, who commanded the reserve during the action and night of the 25th. Sir T Metcalfe was good enough to accompany, and give me the benefit of his local knowledge; be was also present and very for ward iu the attack on the semi. Lieut. Geneete, of the engineers, deserves credit for the very complete and successful manner in which he blew up the bridge, I enclose a return of captured g uns, a casualty roll, and a sketch o f th e groun d , prepare d by CaptainShu zz t c e, of the Quartermaster-Gen er al's departmenty .

Sir,—l have the honour, herewith, to forward a correct return of killed and wounded on the late expedition to Koondun Puttee. In the postscript of my despateh of the 11th instant, I mentioned having sent the forty 12th Irregular Cavalry troopers, under Captain Johnson, to reconnoitre, anal, if possible, to intercept a party of Oude rebel s said to have landed at Ukree Ghaut. They had, however, retreated across the river before Captain Johnson's troops could get at them ; but a small fort which had been recently erected near the ghaut by the rebels was destroyed by Captain i ohnson. I was informed by Mahomed Zuboor Khan, the Thanadar of Koendun Puttee, that had not the Oudo invaders been checked, and a portion of them destroyed by our troops, it was their intention to overrun the whole country between Futtehpoor and Allahabad, with a view to interrupting our communication and impeding our operations. He also assured me that the following persons on this side of the river had taken an active part in these distur bances and hostile dosiges, viz., Bhunmur Sing Zemadar of lfkree, Ramsahae (haet) of Hutgaen (an active confede rate of the former), Seetta Bug and Pulwan Sing of Bur gulla, and Nurltista Kumaroodeen Hoossain of Puttee. I take this opportunity of mentioning that the detach ment of the 12th Irregulars had already marched 21 miles when theyreceived the sudden order to join me at Hutgaen, and although both men and horses had been a whole day without food they galloped on the whole way to meet me, a oi,tance of nine miles further, guided by that energetic officer, Lieutenant Dawson, of the ; who also took a conspicuous part in their subsequent operations.— I have, &c.

Sir,—For the information of the Governor-General in Council, I have the honour to report that- I marched yesterday morning with a force, as per margin, t upon Ahwa, a walled town, and ghurree of Marwar, where the mutineers of the Judhpore Legion, joined by the troop of Ahwa and other disaffected thakoors, had taken up a position, which they had been at every pains to strengthen to the utmost. 2. The very vigilant suspicion of the rebels had baffled all attempts to get accurate information of their position by my scouts, and the place, being surrounled by jungle, could not be reconnoitered oat of range. I determined to reconnoitre in force, and, if circumstances justified me, to assault at once. 3. I hid a strong advanced guard, as per margin and, as we came on through the thick jungl., I sent on a small party of the cavalry at a gallop, with Lieutenant Heath cote, Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster-General and Lieu tenant Bannerman, Adjutant, Kotah Contingent, to feel where the rebels actually were. A few of their sowers, who were looking out, hastily retreated before this party, and one of them, who had dismounted to tire, was taken prisoner. The party reported that the rebels were out in force close under the walls of the town, of which we could now see the topmost buildings, rising as it were out of the jungle. 4. Going a few yards on fire was at once opened on the column ; this was promptly and efficiently answered by two guns under Lieutenant Swanson, which I bad ordered to the front from the advanced guard. The main column at once moved up to support, and skirmishers wore thrown oat from the infantry, supported by cavalry on the flecks. The five horse-artillery guns, ably directed by Captain Petrie, now opened their fire. Large bodies of the enemy were seen scattered by our shot and shell, and hurrying under the walls; and they were apparently driven by our fire oat of their entrenched position. Their firing, how ever (especially against my right, and from two 9-pounder guns lately belonging 'o ao Ja lhpore Legion), was hotly kept up. Ono of our howitzers (trail being old Bengal pAtern) was disabled by its own recoil ; and one man killed and two wounded at another gun,' which had one of its wheels destroyed by a round shot. p I therefore took ground to my left, and on getting a good view again of a rnusjid tiring,ou our u a n n s d opened egroups o t f h e t na h e a m s b c fromo e l f luercetwewith hunder enemyife it s s t e w ff wa e t rs 5. As it was made plain the place °mild not be carried by a coup-de-main with the force under me, and as parties of the enemy on my right were threatening to attack the bag gage, which the nature of the country rendered very assail able,' notwithstanding a strong guard for its protection, I decided on changing the direction of the column, so as to have it between any baggage and the enemy, and counter marched to my former right. I ordered two of the gnus to be fired on some of the enemy still visible, who had been trying to get round at the baggage, but having that now secure on the reverse flank, no further molestation was offered. 6. Under the existing circumstances, renewing the attack appearing unjustifiable, I determined to draw off the force, but ready, and in order, to repel and follow up the enemy, should he provoke me to do so. No further movenaeut on their part being attempted, I retired leisurely on this place, about three miles distant from the sconeof action, and am at present halted here. 7. It is with deep pain I have to announce the dea'h of Capt. Monck Mason, Political Agent 4 Jull;pors. He had arrived with some of the Ilahsr , jah's mon to join me on the field before Ahwa. He seems to have mistaken some of tile enemy's horse for ours, and was shot down after go ing with them a short disEncr. The loss of this excellent officer could not but be deplored, but under such sad cir cumstances has been a great grief to me. The loss suffered by the troops was, I am thankful to say, very trifling, as the accomp:.nying return will show. 8.
