CALCUTTA, JAN. 26, '97.
ZEMAUN Shah obtained a complete
victory over the Sticks, the ift inst.
and has entered in triumph Lahore, their
capital. He was also preparing to march
to Ddhi, with 100,000 mea, accempc.
nied by a Frenchman, late Ambaffider
from the Conveoribn to Conftnn inople.
Previous to the vidory, Zemaun Shah
formed his army into seven divifijns, en
'deavoring, by different roads, to surprise
the rear of the Seicks ; but, proving un
fuccefsful, had again united his forces.
A most desperate battle was fought at
Umroofter. It commences at B,in the
morning ; when the Shah opened his
fatir mauls, or wall pieces, mounted on
camels, against the Sticks, and both
parties kept up a heavy fie with match
locks until two o'clock. About this time
the Seicks, finding they had made no
impression on the enemy, gave the signal
for a general charge ; and, agreeable to
their mode of close combat, flung away
their turbans, let loofeftbeir hair, put
their beards in their mouths, and &shed
into the midst of the Abdclhh army,
sword in hand. The two armies contin
ued thus engaged for four hours, when
Zemaun's troops gave way, and were
purfoed to the very entrance of Lahore.
Thirty five thouftrid men were killed !
20,0@0 on the part of the Shah, and
15,000 of the Seicks.

good accommodations for them, and
what are your terms, and theJateft time
you fail. Be so good as to write me.—
This is hot to be cotfidered as an en

do not think for my own part that there

without success, and it is Lid odr minis
