LETTERS FROM INDIA.

OHCTTITA, 48 it ILYA TOON Het AAAAAA OH, OCT. 3.
We rearelsed from Da nn& back again to Hazareetegh, and
hoot thence to this plans, in conaequence of a report that the
nudism, 700 strong, with four gone, were on the point of
plundering the city. However, we arrived too late to pea-
vent
the looting, en on the march we beard they ware at*
camped on the other side of the town from us, mil hod
already plundered and were plundering the city.
We were then sin mules off, and &sour force was only mode
up of 180 of the 63rd, and 120 Sikhs, we proceeded cautiously
yesterday morning towards the asemy's temp, just skirting
the town sad leaving it to the right, and after clearing it
halting for a short time to look about us, as, in the direction
of the enemy, the hill on the oppoeite side was so studded
with tree. and rocks we could sot clearly make them out.

At tut the order was given to advance ; and My adr.
=inhere, under my command, immediately want straight
through the rioe-Belde between the two hills, end steadily
advanced up the opposite aide. We found, much to our sur-
prise, that we were at once under • very heavy fin of grape from
the guns at the top of the hill, het fortunately it was rather
too high to do us much harm. We thus proceeded from tree
to tree, and rock to rock, until we could plainly MO the ene-
my's skirmieliere and artillerymen working at the guns, and
theacestirmed popping at them for sometime, till the support
omit up, when we node a rush at the two first guns and
ontund them.
Attar this, the men were much blown, and could not la-
ssoes quickly, so they commenced firing again ; and unfor-
tunately this time we had one gun in our front and one on
ear IA end in taking protection behind the tress from the pa
la kat, we were still impend to a heavy fin of graphs= the
pan os oar lA. This was the critical pert of the adios, and
it was here we lost most of our men, se beide' thus two
game we bad skirmiebere of the enemy all round as. At lest
after a quarter of an hour, which appeared to ue to be two
boon, the °Seen all went to the front, and with a deal sad
a cheer we all rushed past the third gun, and bringing our
right shoulder forward stormed the fourth and last gun. At
this the enemy lost heart, sod alter g low straggling shots re-
tired altogether into the jangle, leaving as in pone lion
of the field, together with all their camp equipage, 4 gum,
$4 carte of ammunition (loaded), 2 colours, hones, 'pasta%
and bullocks.
Oar loss oat of 180 men was 46 killed and wounded ; but,
Sheathe to Almighty Ood, neither 1 sot any of the officers
were wooded.
I got a graze on the elbow, which tore my Jacket open,
and wetter shot through my pouch-belt, the tin Wide
