awl' at Lahore and Unaritsir ; and Mr. D. M'Leod

I Authentic intelligence reached Hingolee on the
11th instant, that the head-quarters of that division
of the Nizam's army, under Brigadier lumnp-
too, came up with and captured the im-
pooter calling himself Appa Saheb, on the 6th
instant, after a severe engagement with his fol
lowers, amounting to upwards of 300 Robin's.
The Icese on the part of the Nizam's troopeamounted
to four Eztropean officers, and seven or eight troopers
of the 2nd cavalry wounded ; whilst that of the enemy
is stated to have been upwards of two hundred killed

and wounded, the Pretender being amongst the
latter, having received two sword cuts on the head
and one os the right leg.
The force bad marched between forty and fifty
miles on the night previous to the engagement, the
blunt of which fell on the cavalry, who nobly sus-
tained tne honour of the eervice to which they be-
long. An eye-witness states that their charge was
a most brilliant affair, in which several of the
Eu-
ropean officers of the force joined. The flank com-
panies of the 2d (Russ -11'e) Nizam's infantry did good
service in the thick brushaoad growing in the vicinity
of the bette-field, whereby many Rohulas were killed,
wounded, or taken prisoners. The Hingolee force was
on its return to cantonment', having the soi•diasnt
Rajah of Nagpore, and several of his follower•, as
close prisoners, in its train. The names of the Eu-
ropean officers wounded in this gallant and well-
managed affair are—Brigadier Hampton, dar ger-
°wily ; Majer Lysaght, ditto; Captain Commardint
Yates, severely, sad Captain Orr, slightly. It was at
first supposed that the two former would each have
been obliged to have undergone mint Lion of the
wound d leg, but at latest dams+ they had much im-
proved, and it was hoped the limbs might be saved.
Lieutenae t Robinson, of the 7th Bombay N. 1., who
I was en leave at Hingolee when the force took the
accompanied it as an amateur, and, with Dr.
Magan, is mentioned as having behaved most gal-
lately in the fight,—these two gentlemen having
joined in the charge of the cavalry and cut down a
numb. rof the enemy. The horse of latter was
sever.ly wou• ded.
Toe governor and suite, and H. E. the Com-
marder-in-Chief are still at the Hills.—The ship
Java with the bead-quarters or H M.'s 61th Fout
on board has come to hand—also the John Brewer,
with a detachm•tnt of the same regiment, both having
bad very quick pagesages from C.ork.
A commiss'on, con-isting of Mr. C. G. Manse', Mr.
R. Montgomery, and Brigad er Godby, had been ap-
pointed to conduct the trial of Meolrsj, which was
proceeding at Lsh:•re.
The papers announce the death of Lient-Colonel
G. R. Crawford, of the Bengal artillery, on the Hilts,
trim a disease of the heart.

lier Majesty's 9Gth were reviewed in Fort Wil-
liam by the ci mmander-in-chief at day-light, on
the morning of the 11th Nifty. So quietly had the
appointmint been made that scaicely half a dozen
spectators besides military men wet° present. Sir
Charles, punctual to a proverb, reached the parade,
accompanied by the town major, before a single
officer of the regiment bad made his appearance, and,
finding no other amusement, walked iiro the barracks.
lie soon returned, however, and subjected the regi-
ment to a minute inpec.ion, after avtich it mai chid
past in slow, and again in quick time, and then ad-
vanced in line. At the close Sr Charles Nopier ad-
drcre.ed the men in a characterisiic sptceh. Aft.r
alluding to his former condition with the regimes.t. he
said :

I am very glad to meet the 96th again. We have both
been a good deal about the world since we were lett ta,tether,
and I am very glad to hear such a good account of the ?s-
-idearm. Your colonel tolls me that. you are not only in
and hoalth, but that you are gond in cunduct—tbat you
have very few men in Ii epital. Nuw, this is all right, and
I tape you will continue w bear a goon ehoractor. Bat
let me give you a bit of advice that is don't drink.
I know y. cog men do not think much ab out faience
from old men. 'they put their tongue in their cheek.
and think they know a good deal better that the toll
cove that is giving the ou advice. But let me tail
you, that you are coma to a coney whore, if you
drink, you're dead men. If you be a her and steady, yta'al
go ton well. But if you drink, you're done for. You will
be tither invalided or o.ic. I know two regiments in this
country—one drank, the other didn't drink. The one that
didn't drink is one of the finest regiments, and his got
on as well as any regiment in eintence. The one that
did drink has been all but destroyed. For any regi-
ment for which I Ih.ert a respect, and there is not
one of the British regiments whom I don't Tempest,
I should always try sod persuade them to keep from drink-
inv. I know there are some men who will drink in spite
of the obeli and their tfficrro—but such men will soon be
ion !unite!, and very few that go in. in this couhtry, over
c once out again. I wi.b toe 96th it piment tvery hum's,
and am very glad to see it in the state it is.
Af cr exptessirg to Major Cumberlege his great
gratification, he call. d the serjeant-major of the
regiment, with whom he hid a few minutes Conti-
dental chat. He then dlsmisteed the regiment, and
proc, clod to an inspection of the arsenal.
We, the Gentleman's Gareth., were enabled in the
last summery to announce that the Ranee Counda
had been traced to Nevaul. The eircumst.mces
attending her flight are yet a mystery, and they are of
very littlJ pabi impartance. Yet an *equity
into them, with a view of fixing the blame if allow-
ing her to emir, is a duty which the authorities
owe to themselves and also to the public. It seems
doubtful whether iny claim will be made on the
King of Nepaed for 'he Itanee's restoration. It has
been said that the, Ranee has done the best possible
thing that she c mid for the British government,
saving them facm the necessity of supporting her; and,
by univers.l admission, the has ceased to be dan-
gerous, wher.ver locateL
The Ranee is to be sent back to Chunar, escorted
by a party of the -lib bre4ular Cavalry, under Cap!.
Marten, second in eacoma.eld.
There aid be no direct mail from Bombay to
Europe, sf ier the present leaves, till the 20th proximo.
