Bir,—l have the honour to report to yen, for the informa-
tion of hie BiosUsury the Commander-in-Chief, the follow-
ing operations of the force under my command since the
14th instant, the date of my lam report.
On the 16th, I despatched a party under the command of
BLightkoSh Foot, to burn the hems of Hendren
end the vi of Bluadhee, in which it wee situated ;
the village of U the inhabitant, of which had aided the
rebels sad evinced an inimical spirit, was destroyed at the
same time.
On the 18th I moved out against the rebels, who had
established themselves at lletahi, when Cromer Bing had a
large hones, about two Wise from Jugdeepore. On our ap-
proach the rebels opened Bre from the two 12-pounder howft-
sun they captured from the Arrah party on the 23rd tilt.,
end showed in great force ; but so soon ma the line of in-
fantry advanoed they retired into the jangle, carrying away
their gluts ; upon which I destroyed *a hones and village,
and returned to camp. The loss of the rebels must have
been severe, as the fire from the battery gone, cadge Lieute-
nants Campbell end Bradford, was vary good. My own
easeakiss ware meal, as shown by the 01100111911111yille
return.

--(Vibe 20th, Mr. Burrows, railway contrsctor, commenced
at my dean cutting down the jungle in the Tidally of Jug-
disport, so as to obtain a broad clear road through it, in the
direction of Arrah, and, fearing that the rebels mdght creep
up and fire upon the workmen, who, if once struck, would no
doubt abandon the work altogether, I sent my horse artillery
and cavalry, under Lieutenant-Colonel Robertson, Military
Train' round to the south-west of Duleeppoor, where the
main body of the rebels were established, to endeavour to
divert their attention. In • few hours, receiving a
report from the lieutenant- colonel that the enemy
were following him into the open country in great
numbers, I hastened from camp with • few companies of the
10th Foot, the battery guns, and sores cavalry, direct up=
Metahl, in the bops of getting between than sad the •angle ;
in this I partially samseded and Inflicted snare p t
up= than. I regret, however, that Lieutenant Dawson,Militazy Train, was killed, nd Lieutenant Maxwell,
Royal Hone Arißlary, with Sargent H. Robinson, Royal
Boris= , and Private R. McGuire, 10th Foot, ware
in skirmish.
From the opined= of the 20th inst., it seemed to me that,
by • combined movement upon the rebels, I might possibly
cruse them, and impure their two guns, which they prized
greedy, sad invariably withdrew so rapidly into the
when we advanced, that there was little chance of
them by say direct attack.
It was my earnest wish to have had a small force to co-
operate with me hem the south, but as Ceknel Corfield had
declared his inability to assist me in any way, I dada= upon
making a final assault upon the rebels on the With instant
with ray own for.
My pea
wee to endeavour to draw the seamy oat from dm
jungle, as I did on the 20th, then to make a feeble attack I
upon ean at Ratan, so as to =copy lima without actually
driving them in, whilst • body of infantry moved down
through the thick jungle direct from Jogdespore, and cams
upon their rear.
This, lam happy to my, succeeded alma beyond my
expectation, and resulted in the capture of the 2 howitzers, 2
elephants, and the complete dispersion of the rebels.
' The hone artillery and cavalry under Lieutenant-Colonel
Riddell, Royal Artillery, left camp as soon as day broke, and
moved round to the south-west of Dul ppoor, attracting the
attention of sheens* who evidently expected an attack, and
made their arrangements accordingly.
Bight companies of the 10th Foot, under the direction of
Brigadier Douglas, C. 8., were formed in the jangle colon to
Jogdespore post, prepared to move down when 1 should send
' the order; and the remainder of the troops available, consist-
ing of two oompanies 10th root, five outspends' 84th Foot,
100 of Batten's Sikhs, Pruijanb 'Uppers, with 4 =am, gone
(Cotter's), lindsr Lim an= Campbell, sad some =vary I
moved direct upon Mould, leaving the camp in charge of •
Veetf the 84th Foot, with some Sikh sowers under Cap.
and the post at Jugdespore with a commit, of the
Madras Riles, under Captain Bolton.
Major Carr, whom I bad moved from Ansh to the east
side of the jangle, I reinforced with another company of the
84th Foot and 60 Sikh cavalry, and directed to patrol along,
a= watch the eastern limit of the nag=
The movement upon Metshi apparently convinced the
rebels that the attack was to be the same as on the 20th, and
they lined the same banks and took up the same position as
before. I now directed Brigadier Douglas's celoma 611 more
down, and so soon as I asoartained they had penetrated the
jungle as far as whets I was, without the army peresiving
it, I Ldvanced my skirmishers, and the rebels mod ken.
irately filed their howitzers, and thus showed on their ezaet
Positiolt-
A cheer and a rapid rush settled the affair; the gam wen
secured by the Grenadier Company of the 84th Foot, whilst
the 10th pursued the rebels through the jangle south, down
to Chitowrah, and through the deems jungle es the wet of
that place, scattering them, and driving them completely out
into the open country, at • distance, however of several
Ilan from where the artillery had been pes Two ele-
phants were captured, and many rebel sorpoys killed, in tidal
rapid pursuit, which nothing bat the =Moment of dachas*,
sad the high spirit and powers el endurance of the soldiers '
enabled theta to carry out. The grader yiropordon, how-
ever, at last dropped, thoroughly =banal; end it was some
hoursbefore they could move to camp, then distant some
seven miles.
