THE ACTION AT NAWABOUNGE.

We (Time.) have been favoured with the follow-
ing account of the victory described in the telegram
received last evening:

LUCKNOW, Join 16.
Since I wrote to you on Senday, Gears' Great
ban made a good example of a large body of the rebels at
Narabgunge (Bores Bunkee). Of the feet you will have
Gard by telegraph, but some of the details may interest you,
which I briefly give you. Our force—the two brigades of
Riles, 90th, 6th Punjab, 18 gone, end some 1,600 cavalry—
's& Clinrhut at 11 at night, came to the bridge across the
aullah before daylight, and here the action commenced. The
enemy defended the bndge with two guns. Our fin soca
slimmed them, and the rifle skirmishers did the rest. The
,messy led precipitately towards the jangle on this aide,
mad what they had secured their retreat turned and
sent In an itl-directai fire of grape end round shot. Our
runs replied, and they retreated altogether, leaving one gun.
This party did not loss many men. In the meantime the:,
gene opened on the right, sad all the mobs who were in the
topes round Nawabgunge advanced and attacked in front,
our right, and rear, all at once. Some of these did not fight
at all, but others showed great pluck, mad stood to their gam
obstinately. One body for an hoer end a half Mood their
monad, in perfectly open monad, within 400 yards of
oar guns, which were firing grape and round shot.
The rebel less hare was very great; all their gunners
were Med. A party of Infantry stood in the open
mega* two companies of the Rifles, and received
their amp without running; they were all either
baressited or killed with clubbed muskets. Some 40 foot-
men ressived • *ergo of the 7th Human, who rolled them
all ; all bat ow men got up again, but the Hussars
eves bat tad belled the whole of them. I mention them
Wham to show you with what determination some pert of
the rebels draglet. Their loss hes been consequently heavy,
and is eatireskad at 800 and six excellent guns. The
fight listed from half-put 4 to half-past 7 ass.
The rebels were utterly routed, and have fled
