Sir,—I beg you will acquaint his Excellency the Com mander-in-Chief that, having received information that the enemy had reoccupied Busherntgunge 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 tho enemy's side dared to fol. low me. _ Two insurgents had eight or ten gunsbeyond 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 The whole were kept at such a distance, and withdrawn so rapidly, that we never got a fair sight of them.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 amain fired out of them. I estimate the loss of enemy at 3C0 killed and wounded; mine was 25. The enemy will not, I fear, again venture to fight witha narrow causeway and swamp in his rear. I inclose a return of the casualties; also a sketch of the ground.—I have, &c., H. HAVELOCK, Brigadier-General, Commanding Allahabad Moveable Column.

Sir,—Be pleased to inform the Commander-in-Chief that I was yesterday prepared to cross over to Cawnpore by the bridges and boat-equipage which Lient.-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 course of the day, a succession of spies brought me information of about 4,000 men, with some guns, having come forward from Nawabgunge to Busherutgunge. I at onoe put 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 Tinder 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 variad their mode of defence by entrenching the village of Boorbeeake-chowkee, in advance of Basherut. 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 ulson 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, and the whole line was greedily in full retreat. 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 progross by a demonstration on our right flank, but were compelled to retreat by our artillery fire. This action has inspired much terror amongst the enemy, and I trust will prevent his effectually opposing our em barkation at Cawnpore, which is a difficult operation. I have, &e., U.

I I beg to record my full concurrence in all the Brigadier- General's sentiments, as exprassed in his latter; and to in dulge a hope that the noble and praiseworthy conduct of Major Reid and his gallant band may meet with the reward so highly honourad.—I have, G. E. GOWAN, Major-General, Commanding in the Upper Provinces. Brigadier-General Wilson to the Assistant-A.djutant- General of the Army. Camp before Delhi, August 13, 1157. Sir,—I have the honour to forward, for the information of Major-General Gowan, C.B., commanding the forces in the upper provinces, a report by Major Reid, commanding the Sirmoor battalion, of the result of repeated attacks made by a large free of the insurgents upon his post during the night of the 1st, and continued during the greater part of the 2c1 inst. The report speaks for itself ; but I cannot refrain from bringing to the notice of Major-Gen. Gowan, with a view to the same being submitted to his - Excellency the Com mander-in-Chief, and through him to the Supreme Go vernment, the admiration with which I, as well as the whole force, have viewed the g a llantry with which this noble officer, with the gallant band under him, has held the important post entrusted to his command. With the aiii of her Majesty's 60th RoYaiiiifles, his own regiment, the Sirmoor bat., assisted by reliefs from the Guide Corps of Infantry, the 4th Sikh Ragivaent, and the 1st Punjaub Infantry, this officer has from the 8th June, the date of the arrival of this force at Delhi, su,tained and defeated 24 separate attacks upon his position up to the 6th inst.; and from that date to the present constant wearying attacks, day and night, by both Infantry and artillery. hase no words to express my admiration of the endur ance and gallantry displayed throughout this long period by Major Reid and the officers and men who have served under him ; but I now thus briefly record my opinion cf their merits, in the certain hope that Major-Gen. Gowan, C.B , will recommend them to higher authority for the greatest honours that can be bestowed upon them. Appended t:> Major Reid's report is a letter from him of yesterday's date, bringing to favourable notice the names of officers who have served under him since 8th June last. —I have, &c. A. WILSON.

WILSON, Brigadier•General, Commanding Field Force. Major Reid to the Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General in Main Piquet, Hindoo Rao I s House, Aug. 4,1857. Sir,—I have the honour to report, for the inforMation of the Brigadier-General commanding the forces, that about 4.20 p.m., on the let inst., I observed, from my look-out on the top of this house, that mutineers were turning out of the Aj mere and Toorkman Gates in considerable force ; they assembled on the open plain in front of the above mentioned gates, but as they did not move off, I took but little notice of them, beyond directing my look-out man to watch all their movements : on looking to my right rear I perceived the whole of the force which had moved out of the city on the 31st nit. returning over the ridge (Kolapahar) and by the Rohtuck Road, with all the guns they had taken out, viz., six Horse Artillery guns, four 9-pounder guns, and three heavy mortars, with the whole of their camp equipage, Izc., and elephants and camels. This force halted about a mile from the Edgha Sarai, 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 6.030 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 inclo 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 bad 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 6001 Rifles, under the commani 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 Subzee 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 as 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 flew back to their cover on the left of the road immediately, and did not again show in any force. _ _ 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 Tinder my command throughout the night ; there was no noise whatever—no hurry or confusion; and ray warmest thanks are due to all for - their gallantry and daring. This report would have bee; furnished before,Thut 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.—I have, &c. C. REID. Major Reid to Brigadier-General Wilson. Main Piquet, Hiudoo Rao's House, Aug.12, 1857. My dear General—My report of the attack on my posi tion on the night of the 1st 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 8th of June last. I cannot speak too highly of the conduct of the 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 tai❑ 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. 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 °facers doing duty with the corps. Detachments of theist Punjaub 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 8th and 61st Foot, who have at different times taken the duties of the Subzie Mundy Piquet, which is under my orders.—Yours sincerely, C. REID. Brigadier-General Havelock to the Deputy Adjutant- General of the Army. Bivouac, Bithoor, August 17, 1857. Sir,—I have to request the favour of your informing the Commander-in-Chief that I rnarc'h.d to thia place Jester. da,v. The mutineers of the 31st and 42d, from Saugor, the 17th, from Fyzabad, arid sepoys of othet regiments, with troops of the 2.1 Light Caualry and 3d Irregulars, united to a por tion of Nana Siltih's troops were, with two guns, in one of the strongest positions I have-ever seen : they numbered 4,030 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 farthest of which was protected by an intrenchment armed with artillery. The road lakes a turn after passing the second bridge, which pro tects the defenders from direct fire . and behind are the narrow streets and brick houses of Bithoor. I must do the mutineers the justic) 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-Are. The streams prevented my tinning 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 were 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 ; asit is, they shall not remain there unmolested. The loss of the enemy is estimated at 250 killed and hounded; mine is 49, and my numbers are further reduced by sun-stroke and cholera. I inclose a sketch of the position, returns of killed and wounded, and captured ordn•tnce.— I have, &c. H. HAVELOCK, Brieadier•General. Commanding Allahabacl Moveable Column.

Captain Harrison to the Assistant-Adjutant-General - Dinapore. Dinapore, July 31, 1 85 7. Sir,--It is with much concern I have to report, for the information 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 tachments to pass over. On arriving there, under the com mand of Lie - it. Ingilby, 7th Native Infantry, the party were fired upon by same 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 flanks, we reached without opposition a bridge distant from Arrah about one mile and a half. This was the place where I had represented to Captain Dunbar the ex pediency of haltinc , until daylight; to which he replied he had heard from the magistrate of the improbability of our meeting with any opposition ; he thought it was preferable to push on. After advancing from the bridge about half an hour, we 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 cers 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 firolocks. 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. In - consequence of the men of both regiments having fastedsnch a long time,they were too exhausted and 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 ware compelled to march in column, the rebels pursuing us in large bodies the whole distance to the ghauts, 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 ghauts, notwithstanding the ef forts of the officers, the men made a rash to the boats ; immediately upon which the rebels advanced upon us, and commenced a heavy fire 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 the darkness, and the men being too ex hausted to fire. The people of the country turned out against us.—I have, &c. R. P. HARRISON, Captain, Commanding detachment of her Majeaty'a 37th Regiment. Lieutenant Waller to the Assistant-Adjutant-General, Dinapore. Dinapore, July 31, 1857. Sir,—I 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 teered 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 Regiment, an d 50 Sikhs of Captain Rattery's police corps on board ; the steamer Ho rungosta being on board. We then proceeded to Beharee-Ghaut and anchored, Lieut. ;Ingilby, 7th Native Infantry, then gave me com mand of the 50 Sikhs ; Ensign Anderson, 22d Native In fantry, and Ensign Venour, of my own regiment, volun teering to do duty with mo. Lieut. Ingilby then proceeded, with 13 men, Sikhs; of the 7th and 8th NativeInfantry, whom he had taken from here with him to a nulleh about two miles off, for the purpose of seizing the boats to cross the detachment. About twenty minutes :after Lieut. Ingilby had loft, I heard shots in the direction of the nailer, 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 nnllah with his fifteen reen, 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. Upon the arrival of 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., and then comtnenced our march—except that the road was dreg ;fully uneven and very distressing to the feet, we had no dififierdtiee of any kind ; it was a moonlight night, and the only acme I men we saw from the time we left the steamer until our arrival at Arrah were the few men who tired at Lieutenant Ingilby, and who were left (so the villegers said) by Baboo Soowar Sing, to give him new. as soon as we arrived, which showed, with what occurred afterwa , de, that they were well aware of the party having been sent nainst thorn. We arrived in Arrah about 11. o'clock (it was then quite dark, as the moon bad gone down), and were proceeding quickly through the outskirts of the town in the following order :—Lieut. Ingilby a short way a-head of tie column with his 15 men ; then her Mrjosty's 10th, followed by my Sikhs; and her Majesty's 37th brought up the rear ; when, in passing by a large tone of mango trees, which Lieu tenant Ingilby had passed without seeing or hearing any- i thing, we received a most dreadfully severe fire, which I heard killed a good number of our men, who, not being prepared, and there being so heavy and so very close to us,-ran off the road into the fields on the other side, and from 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 m-en, 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 us till the next day, and others were-dropping in all night. We then retreated to another road, and lay clown behind a small " bond," 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 bond that Ensign Anderson was killed ; peer fellow ! he was shot dead through the heart; We remained here during the whole night, and at daylight started back for the steam er , a di A:nce of about 13 miles. We were followed in large numbers by the rebels; the main body would not come within range, but they sent out a great number of sepoys (picked shots, I fancy) right and 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 ou our column the whole march—nearly all, or a great part, of their shit telling on ns, whereas they were so much scattered, and a, well covered, that they did not suffer much loss; however, although wo lost a great number of men, we arrived at the ghaut with comparatively very little 1383 to what we ex pected. When we arrived at the Bulled' we found a nnmIter of large boats on this side, into which the men immediately rushed, and commenced trying to shove the boats across, but most of them were aground, and the others were so large that the men could not Manage them, and all the boatmen had been driven away by the sepoys; every time a man showed himself outside a boat he was fired at from the village, which was close by, and at last the m e n gave up altogether the idea of getting across in boats, and, tak ing off all their clothes, those that could 'wan, across. Upon getting clown to the nullah, Ensign Venom. and I got into the beat with some of the men, and while I was shoving out the host we tried with a rifle to shoot some of the fellows who were making a mare of me. He knocked over one, but unfortunately got shot himself immediately after through the thigh, and dropped. I tied up his leg as well as I could, and getting some more help I succeeded in getting the beat 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 !eft the boat a short ti me afterwards, and although wounded managed to swim ashore; the fire from the village the whole time was most severe, kiliieg and wounding a great number. After those who could swim got away, the sepoys first opened a most revere fire on the few who remained in the boats that were aground, and after wounding most of the men in them they all rnshed down and set fire to the roof. It was here that poor Lieut. Ingilby was klled, and a great number of wounded, who had been carried so far, were 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 far above miles on a bed, procured in a village. They returned a second 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 there ; they made themselves extremely useful in every way, and were always coo), steady, and under perfect control.—I am, &c., H.

Sir,---I have the honour to report, for the information of Major-General Wilson commanding before Delhi, that, agreeably to his orders, Imarched 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 Nanglooue, about nine miles from this (and on the road to which I had 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 et 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 found the enemy in position on my left and front, extending from the bridge over the Nnjufghur 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 naisence. 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 Glst Regiment, tho 1st 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 Guido Cavalry ; and after the artillery had fired a few rounds, I 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 premising officer, Lieut. Gabbet, mortally wounded); 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 were soon in full retreat across the bridge, with our guns playing upon them, 13 ot 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 let 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 saeposed the conflict at an end, when it was reported to me that a 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 them 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 tho let Punjab Infantry. This corps also suffered the loss of an other gallant officer, Lieutenant Elkington, dangerously wounded, and - men killed and several men wounded, prominentlyove on the cTp etrhhs eeeosIsnofiibrfientrl ghoca ieumarwg officers to the extreme xtohhwute occasion,re itfei favourable you a column u uadIs nr i a n ownaadt; tr n dbimeos illacwfnle i tanor a n ghhvednueotoet t ocipsi nhhrtomoti aie e n.icupiaeznjItw aodt artilleryo sameoi hwitfnf. behoottGu evening. tt iheelh)ayerudee;ekfrbojunia(ren,itbeg to before the village was in our possession. • The enemy's cavalry, apparently not less than 1,030 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 owu cavalry I regretted much my inability to employ against them ; but I had been obliged to leave the squadron of the 2d Panjaub Cavalry under Lieut. Nicholson, and 120 of the Mooltanees, to look _after the baggage; and I had, of lancers, guides, and Aloof tanoes, 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 Paniaub Infantry, and a detachment of artillery and lancers. I had the bridge mined, and blown up by the Sappers, and all the waggoes and 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 conduct of the the ground (already sufficiently difficult) quite impractic able,It only now remains for me to fulfil the pleasing duty of 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 Jet Fusiliers, and the 24.`Punjaub Infantry. No infanta as over more ably assisted by artillery. Major Coke's regiment, under its gallant and lamented officiating commanffant, 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 mcrched 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 BaGrowla, they were obliged, after 14 hours' marching and fighting e to bivouac ti t osi h t Ira a o a e ojt i mft jrbaaicretsneoi Major-Generalenet ibirgs: commandingnma r n ee n r iMetcsaejsaosrarer Tombs',y o for l we t Fmeueos commanding me known ado ing 2d Punjaub Infantry, and Captains Remington and Blunt, and.

Sir,—I havo the honour to report, forthe information of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that, on a•riving at my camp, Katogun, on the 9th inst., I received definite information that a party of insurgentsfromOude, amount ing to from ZOO to 400, with four guns, had crossed the Ganges 'roar tho villagd of Ko ,ndurn Puttoe, 3.7.; miles north of Khoga, on the trunk road, betwean Futtahpore and Allahabad. _ _ _ Operations against them could be best effected from this encampment, becanseel could h. ra obtain the best intelli gen60; and , tny having apparently passed thedirect road to them was likely to throw them off their guard, I accord ingly sent orders to halt the leading column, in order to have rested men for the work. ' On joining Major Simmons' columns at this place I de , , . * 1st squadron 9th Lamers, 16 Horse Artillery guns, 18 Punjaub Cavalry, 100 Guide Cavalry, 200 Mooltanee Cavalry, 420 her Majesty's 61st, 380 1st Fusiliers, 400 1st Punjaub Infantry, 400 2d Infantry, 30 Sappers. ;Tumborti not yeti ascertained. spatched, under Major Eyre, a party consisting of 100 of her Majesty's Fusiliers, 50 of her Majesty's 64th Regiment, mounted on elephants, with two gnus, and completely equipped with tents, two days' cooked provisions, and sup plies for three more. _ - Captain Johnson's detachment of the 12th Irregulars, consisting of 40 men, made a forced march, and concen trated with Eyre's party at Hutgong Khas yesterday even ing, having completed 40 miles. For tho 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 importanoe 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 insurrection, 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 svils 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 I am confident will nol be withheld.--I have, &c., .J. OUTRAM, 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 Ontram, K.C.B., that the expedition he did me the honour of en trusting to my command has been attended with entire success; and the daring invasion of this territory from Oude has been signally punished. I arrived at Hutgong last evening at dask, 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 been 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 practi ca bl e s p ee d with the infan try and guns. We found the cavalry bad driven the enemy into theirboats, which were fastened to the shore, and were maintaining a brisk fire on them film the bank above. On the arrival of the detachments of Hill's 5th 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. Gordori opened fire, when the rebels instantly threw themselves panic-stricken into the river. Grape was now showered upon them, and a terrible fusilade from the infantry and cavalry maintained until only a few scattered survivors escaped. Their num bers appeared to be about 300. Previously to their plunging into the river, they threw their guns overboard and blew np one of their boats, which had been boarded by a party of infantry, whereby, I regret to say, one man of Hill's 5th 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 Tarbey have likewise, by their zeal and usefulness, merited my thanks and commendation. VINCENT EYR E, Major, Commanding Field Force. P.S.—Having heard of another party of rebels at a ghaui higher up the river, I have despatched the cavalry to recoil noitre. Major V. Eyre, commanding Field Detachment, to Colonel Napier, Military Secretary. Camp, Fattebporo, Sept._12, 18.57. Sir,—I 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, and, if possible, to intercept a party of Gude rebeli said to have landed at Ukree Ghaut. They had, however, retreated across tho 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 Johnson. I was informed by Mahorned Zuboor Khan, the Thanadar of Koondun 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 Allahaba.1, 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 designs, viz., Bhunmur Sing Zemadar of Ukree, Ratusahae (haet) of Hutgaen (an active confede rate of the former), Seetta Bux and Pulwan Sing of Bur gulla, and Nurlasta Kumaroodeen Hoossain o f Puttee. I take this opportunity of mentioning that the detach ment of the 12th Irregulars had already marched 2t miles when theyrecoived 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 distance of nine miles further, guided by that energetic officer, Lieutenant Dawson, of le ; 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, 1. upon Ahwa, a walled town, and ghurreo 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 bean 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 surrounded by jungle, could not bo reconnoitered out of range. I determined to reconnoitre in force, and s if circumstances justified me, to assault at once. 3. I had a strong advanced guard, as per margin 7,t, and, as wo came on through the thick jungle, 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.
