it, that the insurgents at Senngapatatn bad surren
dered unconditionally. There have hern must egre
gious geographical mistakes in almost all the pa
pers in their statements of the trait* h-s in India.—
Seringapatam is at the distance of 300 chiles from
Madras, and it nearly on the opposite side of the
Peninsula, on the roast of Malabar. This place
never baa been, end never could be, in the possessi
on of the insurgents, connected with the Madras
establishment. The principal resort of the mal
contents, is in the neighbourhood of Massatipa
tam, on the Coromandel side. The following is
on extract of a letter Irom Bombay, received by the
William :
“ B mkay, Sept. 22, 1SOQ.
‘,‘^There has been an action between the AtJtli re

these circumstances, the 5(*«h fired upon the re

great destruction in the ranks of (he latter, that
they submitted. Twelva of their officers, who had

“ Adjutant command mt Balubio, at the head of

the royal chasseurs, who was wounded,after having
rairied at the point of the bayonet, the enemy’s ad

the same way, under a tire of grape and musket
shot from the town.
“ Brig. gen. Perceval also carried the lrft of the
suburb without the least Hesitation, and without re
turning the fire of the two bastions which com
manded llie channel of the liver,
“ I immediately posted a company of tbf vnlti
geurs of the 6th of the line in the mill, with orders
to send a parly to the house at the bark of the
mountain between the torts and the town. The two
companies ol the 2d I ^ht were stationed as a reserve
before the new battery on Mount Livot, and three
other companies of the 1st light were also placed in
irs, rve at the entrenched post of the carbineers.
“ Two companies of the elite of tint 1st light aud
a company from the elite ol Ihe 3d and 6tb were al
so established in the suburbs.
“ The result of tins attack completely answered

** FoRKPtLS, Dec. J.
* f Rave the honour tn inform your excellency,
th.tt agreeable to your mders, the city redoubt was
earned f.y sturnr, between midnight uad one in tbe
morning. *
" Brigadier general Saesse, with two companies
nf carbineers, two companies of grenadiers of the
(>tb al the line, and a ronipur.v of Voltigeursbei»ng
ing to general Paloinbim's brigade, made the at
tack.
'* These fire companies were formed into four
columns of nltack and one of rvserte. The four
columns marrlted in fxhelon, ranging arms, un
til they re.iched the height on which the redoubt
was situated. The first wliirh was provided with
ladders, sraled it, notwithstanding a shower of gre
nades. The second column turning it hy the right,
appeared before the gate, whicii was shut, and de
fended by a (our pounder, which kept up a constant
discharge of grape-shot ; but the captain of nttille
ry> Bella, marching at the head of this column, ap
plied a petard to the gate, which blew half of it off;
a second petard destroyed the remainder.
“ The two other columns supported tbe former.
In a word, sit, at the moment when one part of the
troops were entering by the gate, tbe rest were al
ready on the p irapet, hy means of the scaling lad
ders, which were rather long, the wall being only
eighteen feet high.
“ The four columns appointed to the assault did
not fire a single musktt shot daring the whole ope
ration. '
I he reserve being drawn tip in front of the bus
linn of Mrrod, began a disc barge of musketry, when
the cannonade from the bastions, and a lire of small
orms trom the waifs, were opened upon our columns.
“ 1 he fire of the reserve piodured the best etfert,
for it diverted the whole of thernemv’a attention ;
and at the same instant ! caused false attacks to he
made on all the forts and bastions of the Merc tidal.
The garrison was by this means so murh disenn
eerted, that its fire, badly directed, had no other
effect than that ot wounding perhaps five or six
men.
“ The expedition was conducted with *nch rapi
dity, that they set off from their rendezvous at mid
night ; and by one o’clock our fire had ceased, and
" w,,re masters of the redoubt, the inconsiderable
garrison of which we fotitid two pieces of cannon,
one a 12 pounder, the other a 4 pounder.”

“I have the honour to inform your rxcelh ney.
that in the night of the 6th the It,,ban division got
possession of the redoubt of th* rity, while the di
vision of the Confederation carried the suburb n!

and vigoi iius alt ck »a, lne.de on llie posts t|;ey had

On hearing the brisk discharge of cannon and
musketry, I mounted my horse, and accoinpunien
by my stall, proceeded to Palau, where I found ti e
general ot division Pino, who had mused his reserve
to march upon the redoubt, which formed the prin
• ipal part ot al tin k on the part of the insurgents.
The two companies of grenadiers of the 6th and 2d
light Italians who delrnded it, made a resistance of
two hours, in a style which surpassed ail praise.
“ The general of brigade Aniev, who was posted
