attack that Captsin Anderson, of the Lean, was wounded,
and a few men. After • little time our artillery silenced
their guns, our skirmishers took the Wile, and the whole
brigade advanced further on. Yon must understand that
the range of hills was divided in two by • very keg% deep,
precipitous, dry nullah. By sunset we had Formica of the
hills on the right side of the nutlet, and the east y those on the
left, which we ought to have held laud of allow-
ing the assay to do so. A squadron of the Hata mils
• splendid charge, capturing three Bores Artillery gee read
burning their camp. In this charge the Haan had some
officers and men killed and wounded. Lust. Riley was
wounded, and died the ume evening, not of his wear* but
sunstroke. The Rata of Jima I. credibly reported
to have been killed this day: she waa shot through
the chest. The E oropeans say It as • rifle bullet
which settled her, but this is very doubtful, se none of
us sew her, and her body was burnt directly she died.
There were two splendid haystacks about three-quarters
of a mile from the fort, and at the entrance of • narrow
phut, which war an Important position to keep. A oom-
ugly of the 95th and one of ours were ordered to hold them.
I could not get any rut at the hay picquet, u it was
Imagined the away might make a night attank, with the
view of harming the hay, and so I had to keep awake. The
nut =man I was quits done up. The heat during the
day Was samatbing frightful ; no lees than eighty men and
lilt teem al the Nab alone were knocked down by the
em—tbaak God, only one m•n died, the rest recovered.
Oas of the Haws died from sunstroke. We had an
officer floored for some time, and I was nearly so. Atter we
charged ap the hill, I was to done up from the ion, that if
I bad keen attacked, I could have only need my pistol, sad
not my sword. The force bivouacked for the night on the
hills we had taken.

Sir H. Rose now determined that the grand attack
on the enemy's positions should be made from the
south-west, and he accordingly marched his division
by a circuit of 12 miles to Kotah Kescrai, joining
Brigadier Smyth on the hills in front of the enemy
on the afternoon of the 18th. The Moorar had been
left in charge of • wing of the 3rd Bombay Euro-
peans, and some irregulars and guns.
The enemy in front of Brigadier Smyth had
been keeping up a cannonade during the whole
of the day at long range without doing much
mischief, their nearest battery being on an ac-
clivity on the left side of a nullsh in front.
On the morning of the 19th, preparations were
made for • general reconnaissance. Heavy ordnance
was brought out to the front, and skirmishers lined
the hills. It was not Sir Hugh Rose's purpose to en-
gage that day ; bet the enemy forced him to action.
At noon it commenced by her Majesty's 88th taking
possession of the battery on the left side of the flattish,
which was done in gallant style. Then followed
the occupation of the whole of the heights to the
left by the 88th, the 71st taking those on the right.
Between the heights on the left and the lines of
Scindia's own ashy, there was a plain about a mile
broad. This was lined by cavalry, covered by guns
which fired from the walls of the lines. On com-
ing to the edge of the ridge overlook-
ing this plain, the 86th soon drove the
cavalry off, having silenced every gun that showed
a match. A detached force of the enemy now
appeared on the extreme left, and threatened
the flint. The skirmishers were, therefore, unable
to go into the plain, particularly as they had far
outrun their support. A company of the 95th came
to the left; and Colonel Lowth, detaching half this
icompany, and one-half of the 88th, sent them to
attack the force on the left who now opened from
two guns on the 88th. This company moved along
the height& in beautiful style, and, walking straight
up to the guns, captured both at the point of the
bayonet. The Ist Lancers (Bombay) coming up,
the skirmishers charged into the plain, and the
enemy bolted in all directions; the cavalry, as usual,
going without drawing a sabre.
In the cavalry charge the Lancers captured some
guns, but they went too far, and got amongst lanes,
in one of which Cornet Mills was shot dead through
the sheet. The enemy plied their guns to the last,
emit our Artillery was within three hundred yards
of them—they then ran. The rebels this time were
real mutineers, and their Golundatme behaved very
well, and served their gnus beautifully. The Bombay
Artillery no doubt fire well, but it was thought that
on this occasion the firing of the enemy was supe-
rior. The rebels were some thousand strong, headed
by Tantia Tepee. Tbey were composed of men of
some Bengal regiments and the Gwalior Contingent.
The whole of the 6th Bengal Cavalry were there.
How many they lost there is no knowing, as they
burnt the bodies, bat no doubt a good round number
bit the dust. We toolrten guns, all of which at one
time belonged to the Bengal army; they had lionte
Artillery guns with "Agri" and other names
written on them. By 3 p.m. our men were swarm-
ing through the town, shooting down every Sepoy
they came across. Before dark all the troops returned
to wisp, except the 88th and part of the 10th N. 1.,
who kept the town.
No time was lost in organising. a pursuit. The
rebels bad fled towards Sheopoor, in the direction of
the Chumbul, avoiding the ford of Dholpore, and
making for one higher up the stream. Orders were
issued to move the 3rd Bengal Europeans, some
Sikhs, and Artillery across the Chumbul and up the
south bank of the river, and than the enemy were
headed in that direction. Brigadier Napier, with •
proper force, started westward towards Sheopoor,
and about thirty miles from Gestic! came up with
the fugitives, captured 25 gnus, and killed numbers
of the enemy.
In the meanwhile the re-occupation of °wither
had taken place, and the Maharajah. who had been
called in from Agra by Sir Robert Hamilton,was re-
instated in great parade, and escorted to his palace
by all the regiments remaining with Sir' Ilagh Rose.
During the passage from the camp to the palace the
Maharajah was not • little astonished at a
salute of a cannon ball from the Port, which
up to that moment had been believed to be empty.
It became evident that the fanatics who still held
cut there must be reduced, and the mode in which
this was date by a detachment of the 25th
Bombay N. 1., is one of the most interesting episodes
of the G walks operations. Lieutenant Rose, of the
25th Bombay NJ
~ had been sent early in the
morning to occupv the Kotwallee. with a few men.
He was joined there by Lieut. Waller, and, says a
correspondent:

fort, sad proposed to Waller that they should storm the
place, maybes that though the risk was great, yet If they ono-
ceded, the Meteor would be great too. A blacksmith was

killed ; five very badly wounded. Had Rose lived, he wield

Ingle young Waller.
The following riptide order was issued by Brigadier
Stuart, when he heard of Lieutenant Rose's death :
" Brigadier Stuart has received with the deepest regret •
newt of the death of Lieutenant Rose, 26th Regiment NJ.,
who wee mortally wounded yesterday on entering the fort of
Owalior on duty with his men.
"'the Brigadier !eels awured that the whole brigade unite
with him in deploring the early death of this gallant officer,
whose many sterling qualities none who knew hies could fidl
to predate."
The practical results of the military movement
have been considerable. In 20 days the Maharajah
lost and won back his capital. On the let of June
he fled to Agra, deposed by a rebel army of 14,000
or 15,000 men. On the 20th, he was rebsatattod.
with all the pomp required by the eircumrtabees,
and the rebels had been killed or dispersed and
deprived of their glans, taken, as may be supposed,
from the Maharsjah's own arsenal. Sir fist*
Rose deserves a peerage. Unknown in India,
he has persuaded these who most doubted his abili-
ties, that they are of the highest order; unaccus-
tomed to the fierce heat of the Indian sun, he has
braved it successfully, and accomplished great thing'.
He has earned his laurels, and we expect to see
him here shortly and give him a reception warm se
he deserves.

The Central India force is to be broken up.
Brigadier Napier will remain in command, I believe,
at 0 walior.

Whilst our successes are thus cheering in that
portion of India in which Bombay troops are em-
ployed, the intelligence which we received from
Oude and Rohilcend is no less gratifying in a
political point of view. In the latter province
order is perfect; whilst on its southern border
an incident of considerable influence on future move-
ments has occurred. The celebrated Luck now
Moulou, Ahmed Oolla Shah, whilst on a plundering
expedition, with 500 horse, against the chief of
Powane, was killed, his head cut off and taken into
Shahjehanpore on a pole. Other chiefs have also
perished m other quarters. Yon may recollect
that movements of large bodies of rebels were
taking place round Lucknow in the early days
et June, and that insurgents of every grade were
described as concentrating themselves at Nawab-
gunge, Barra Bantie, near the Gogra, south-east of
Lucknow. After strengthening Oonao and Poonwa,
Sir J. Hope Grant moved to Chinhnt with a divi-
sions of 6,000 men and a siege train, on the 12th of
Jane. On the 13th he advanced against Nawab-
gouge. On his approach the enemy came out,
18,000 in number, to meet him, bringing
heavy guns to their front in the plain and
attacking him at once in front, rear, and flank. They
were allowed to advance within 200 yards when our
guns opened on them with terrific effect. They
were repulsed in all directions, 800 or 800 of them
killed, and they lost five guns. Sir J. Hope Grant
then retired to Chinhut, having had bat few
casualties from the enemy's fire, but many from the
effects of the sun.

Almost simultaneously with this victory came the
news that Lord Canning had issued a new procla-
mation to the people of Oude. Ita tenor is as
follows :

The Right Honourable the Gore, nor-General hereby
notifies, for the information of all those concerned in the
present rebellion, his ultimate views and intentions regarding
principle, seconds, and followers engaged in the same,
during the past twelve months.
•To ell parties immediately concerned in the murder of
Christian British subjects, no hope of pardon, en area, can
be held out; they must pay the forfeit the laws of this and
every civilised country have decreed to a mere brutal and
gratuitous slaughter of the unprepared, the defenceless, and
the innnoted; they are out of the Eqt of humanity, and the
magnitude of their offence while t live will ever call aloud
for retribution. With these the ritish Government can
make so terms.

To aU those who have offered asylum to refugees or othere,
being the murderers of Christian British subjects. and
known them to have been such, cr who have been leading
movers against the authority of the British Government,
and ham persistently acted thr.mghout this rebellion
against the constituted paramount power of the land,
the Right Honourable the Cluvanor-General can
offer only terms alibi their punishment will be proportioned
to the offences they have cotemitted against the state. All
those who shall surrender on or before the 30th day of Sep-
tember next, will have their lives guaranteed to them, after
which date, *tumid they still continue in ann., or In opposi-
tion to the Government, their several oases shall be SLIIILLUIL
tily dealt with by the authority lc whoa. bonds they may
chance to fall, whether civil or military.
To all ethos, second to principal', zemindarit, sepoys
disbaaded, fugitives throughout the country, or soy person
whatsoever in arms against the Government, not scang
on his own free will and authority, but siting and abetting
some principal, the Right Honourable the Governor-General
offles at once • general amnesty. Let them return to their
homes and pursue their ordinary avocations, using their best
endeavours to maintain peace and gust. Their estates shall
be guaranteed, and an act of oblivion thrown over the past.
Should they, however, still continue to bear arms against the
British power, they must beer the consequences of their own
seta. The time ter clemency will have passed sway.
Instructions were at the same time sent out to the
district magistrates, that all mutineers consenting
to come in should be disarmed and allowed to take
their dep .rture unmolested. They were to have no
promise of immunity, however, lest some amongst them
should turn out to have been concerned in the murder
of Europeans and Christians. With respect to insur-
gents not mutineers who might come in and lay
down their arms, they were to receive a full pardon
on condition of registering their names and places
of abode, and of going home and remaining peace-
ably.
The punishment received by the rebels at Nawab-
gunge may induce many men to take advantage of
these conditions.
I cannot conceal from von that the issue of this
new proclamation and the obedience thus rapidly
shown to the bidding of Lord Ellonborongh has not
been looked upon with favour, and the rapid change
from a policy of severity to one of extreme leniency
is not, I believe, calculated to impress the natives
much with the stability of our councils. It remains
yet to be seen what this new policy will produce.
In Behar the bands di iven out from Jogdespore,
by Sir Edward Lugard, have committed great ra-
vages amongst the indigo factories on both banks of
the Ganges. What is worse, Umma Sing, after
being driven out and committing these ravages, has
returned to Jogdespore. Itattray, with 500 Sikhs,
and Brigadier Douglas, flmm Bazar, have been sent
afresh to pat him down. The cnttink down of the
jungles, at the same time, proceeds actively.
At Allshabad Sir Colin Campbell and Lord
Canning are now united. In the Doab all is pretty
quiet. Tej Sing, of Mynpoorie, who had re-occupied
Ajeetmul quite lately, frightened at the arrival of
Riddell's column at Dholpore, surrendered, and is
now a prisoner. Gangs Sing, the chief of Bah, near
Delhi, fled to join the 0' walior rebels.
Nana Sahib is still in Oade. Calpee has been
occupied by the 6th Fuaileers from Cawnpore, and

Tonga Ds taut, Allahabed, du 2ith Jane, 1858.

The Right Hon. the Goveroor.General has the
highest gratification in announcing that the town
and fort of Owelior were recovered by Major-
General Sir Hugh Rose, on the 19th inst., after a
general action, in which the rebels, who had usurped
the authority of Maharsjsh Seindia, were totally
defeated.

On the 20th June, the Maharajah Scindia, at-
tended by the Governor-General's Agent for Central
India and Sir Hagh How, and escorted by British
troops, wu restored to the palace of his ancestors,
and was welcomed by his subjects with every mark
of loyalty and attachment.
It was on the lilt June that the rebels, aided by
the treachery of come of Maharajah Seindia's troops,
seized the capital of his highness's kingdom, and
hoped to cstablizh a new government under a Pre-
tender in his highness's territlry. Eighteen days
hid not elapsed before they were compelled to
evacuate the fort and town of Owalior, and to
relinquish the authority which they had endeavoured
to usurp.

The promptitude and success with which the
strength of the British Government has been put
forth for the restoration of its faithful ally to
the capital of his territory and the continued
presence of British troops at Gwalior to support his
highness in the re-establishment of his admististra-
_

tion, will afford to all a convincing proof that the
British Government has the will and the power to
befriend those, who, like Maharajah Scindia, do
not shrink from their obligations or hesitate to avow
their loyalty.
The Right Hon. the Governor• General in order to
mark his appreciation of the Maharajah Seindiee
friendship, and his gratification at the re-establish-
ment of his highness's authority in his ancestral
dominions, is pleased to direct th►t a re) al salute
shall be fired at every principal station in India.

General of India,
