Dispatches from Bombay communicate a brilli-
ant and successful achievement by Lient..Comml
the Hoi. LiNcOl.N STANHOPE. It is announced
in The Bombay Gazelle in the following General
Order :
" Honourable the Governor in Council has bad the
gratification of receiving a ititiot front Lieutenant-Colonel
the Honourable L. STAIIIIOPIC to the Address of the min.
taut-Ceuerith of the tirvt operation. of the force under ht.
cutionanti, in the province of Okarnaudel, in the reduction of
the fortress of basil's.

" The Governor of Council has much satisfaction in no-
ticing the judicious and prompt decision of the Lictitesisist-
Colonel coaninaudiug, mid his considerate Mummify iu the
hour of victory, as well as the skull, disciplisir, aid gallantry
evinced by the officers and troops of ever. sank and &scrip-
Mu."

•He also expresses his regret at the revere wonntis
of Captain SO!LLIEUX and Lieutenant MARRIOTT.
The fortrers was carries' hy escalade. The gar-
rison, consirtiog of about 550 turn, endeavoured to
of a retreat into the adjoiliang jiusgles, but were
met by the ddrerent piquets !sward by Col. STA :.11
HOPE, and, hemmed en as they were, a 'dreadful
scene of carnoge ensued. One party s (them were
driven into a buck water, deep and muddy, through
which they wombed. sod they made WI the
bank, and here Captain Soti.tieux received two
wounds, one of which deprived him of hit right
hand. From this the enemy again threw them-
'elves into the water. After great imbibers had
been killed, Lieutenant• Colonel STANHOPE C.ltlbtli
his troops to cease firing, and after long per-
suasion, the few that remained were iuduced to sur-
render. Eadeavours carte made to save the other
party in the same way, but they continued to lire,
and it was not until two six-pounders had been
brought against them with grape, that they could
he induced to give in. Almost every one of Ilse
few remaining were badly wounded. and the whole
found alive amounted only to 50 or Gu. The wo-
men, children, and peaceable inhabitants had gone
oil into thejuughes, and the Brahmins had rttiiesl,
with Colonel STANHOPE'S approbation, to a pagoda
outside the town; so that retribution had ballets
alone ou that class which never gave, and conse-
quently never expected to receive quarter.. The
Lieutenant-Colonel bears the most I ttttt storable IC*.
tituony to the couduct of all the Officers and men
under hint. The return is killed, 4; wounded.
29; iocluding three Officers, Captain SOILLISPX,
