stormed, and the troops, following close on the re-
tiring enemy, entered the Kaiserbegh with them.
The contest lasted until 3 o'clock p.m., by which

the Haiserbagh.
On the 16th of March, the enemy, after the fall
of the Kaiserbagh, having commenced their flight
from the city, Brigadier Campbell, with a brigade
of cavalry and horse artillery, was despatched in
pursuit. Sir Hope Grant also advanced to Sesta-
poor, on the direct road to Rohilcund, with 1,000
sabres, to intercept the fugitives who might be

The Commander-in-Chief sends the following in-
telligence to-day from Lucknow :
" Yesterday the bridges were secured, and the
troops advanced, and occupied the Muchee Bawan
and Great Imambarra. Large bodies of the enemy
crossed the stone bridges an hour before the attack
was commenced by Sir J. Outram. The resistance
was slight compared with the previous day. A
Ghoorkah division seized the enemy's position in
front of Alambagh last night. Numbers of armed
and unarmed men are evacuating the city by the
outlets ; they passed to the north.
" Our advances to-day are gradually pushed on all
sides of the line occupied by the troops, particularly
towards Goolghat and Moosabah, in which direction
the enemy are advancing. The point they intend to
make foe is not known."
