and other commanding officers, I shall be unable to enter
more fully into the details of there operations, and I trust
the circumstances under which I write will excuse any
slight inaccuracies or imperfections which my despatch
may exhibit.
The absence of such reports also prevents my bringiaz
to notice the names of those offic Ts and men who have
specially distinguished tbecnselve.;. This will be my
grAteful duty hereafter. But I cannot defer the expression
of my admiration for the interpidity, coolness, and deter.
urination of all engaged, Europeans and natives, of all
anus, of the service.—l have, &c.,

GENERAL CHAMBERLAIN'S REPORT.

CITY OF DELHI, SEPT. 18, 1857.
FROH THE ADJUTANT GENERAL OF TUE ARNLY TO TLIE
OFFICER COMMANDING AT CAWNPORE.

Sir—Oa the afternoon of the 14th I despatched a
messenger to you, intimating the success of the assault at.
Delhi, which took place that morning, and that we held_
from the Cabul Gate to the College; since then we belie
pushed on, and now occupy from the Cabul Gate along the.
lino of the canal, with our left holding the bank which.
opens on the Chadnee Chouk. The Magizine was
breached during the 15th, and taken- by assault at day-
break on the 16 Is. You will understand from this that the
mutineers occupy the Burn Bastion, and all that portion
of-the city t) its s iuth, excepting the bank; they also
still occupy the Palace and Selimgurh, and have a
camp pitched outside, near the Ajmere Gate. The palace
wall will be breached as soon as we attain. a suitable site
for oar battery; which we have not yet acquired. Our
mortars have been brought irate the town- and are shelling
the palace. The gnus taken on the works have also' been
turned upon the portions of the town which are in posies-
sion of the mutineers, and we are gradually pressing
forwards. The usual license which invariably accompanies
an assault of a large city has somewhat retarded our
advance, but order is fast being rcstdred: At first. the
mutineers offered obstinate resistance, bet they have
become less Retire. The townspeople ore flying the city
in crowds and the mutineers themselves are deserting in
large bodies, their cavalry, it is reported, hiving almost
entirely disappeered. We can get no good information as
to the mutineers' line of retreat, but some say Gwalior.
Few pass over the bridge. Their position at ICissengunge,
were abandoned the day after the assault, seven guns being
left behind in position. Our casualties on the day of assault
were :

NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN, Adjt.-Gent of the Army.
P.S.-19th. During the night we Avanced our left
asp to Abbott's house, clad also Khan Mahomed's house.
This gives u.s a strong position up to within 150 yards of
the palace walls. All our nal:wars are bearing upon the
Jumma Musjid and the southern part of the town, which
is being fast evacuated, the resistance becoming much less
on our right ; we are also progressing by working through
the houses. The king and royal family are said to have
evacuated the place and gono to the old 'fort outside the
city to the south. Our very 'small number make it neces•
sary to be cautious in taking possession of so large a city,
for the great number we have of sick and wounded, and
our loss on the day of the assault, have reduced us very
much. This was too late to be sent yesterday.
