" ft *was Mated a few days ago, on very resin (*t-
able authority, that Col. Clow-. with the Mathss
cavalry. had taint up with the main body of Amer
Khan's army. between Semite.. and and
had cut to pieces from two to three hundred of his
infantry. It was milt, we understand. owing to
the *cadent of so ne of our corps having sounded
their trumpets prematurely. that the whol.: force of
the eueruy was not surprised and destroyed.
Maiwwhile, Colonel Niartimiell's army con-
tinued to fall back towards the Company's Pro-
vinces; but whether with the intent of takiue
up a position for the protection of the frontier. or
of breaking up and returning to cantonments, is
yet uncertain. The farmer tuppomion is counte-
nanced by letters from the camp. and also by the
route which the detachment has taken. They are
not retracing their steps to Chats...room ; but are
%starching along the northern road which leads to
Relpee. Advice.. from some of the military sta.
tunes ut Bandelcuod, however, talk of the campaign
as concluded.

' it was reported in town, a few days ago, that
the force at Kokherettee (now ennimainled bb.
Major Dclatuain) had been a second time unsuc-
cessful, mu an action with Gopaul Sing. We are
happy to say. that the report is wholly unfounded
in truth.

" By Ittter. from Major De'smiles ramp, it
appears that Golsen' sing had agai.► retreated into
the mountains, and that the British force had ►aken
up; a position by which they blockade the entrance
of the Giant..
". The attack made by Captain Wilson on Go-
peel &to's position, on the 18.1 i ultimo, appears
to hare tailed, in consequence of the great atreligth
of the ground occupied by the left of the enemy.
The Officers wounded on that occasion were Lien,.
De Waal and Ensign Agnew of the itith N. I.;
Lieut. Aspinwell, of the 7th; mad Lieut. Fireworker

Our twist accounts from the Bundles:owl Army nre
of the 45141 ultimo. They were thrll encamped tit
a place called Binderee, situated h. tweet' liiinlassa
sad Midtown. They had left Goolgunge on the
14th, anti began to asceivd the Gloms on the Pith
of January. I..e.sing then by Heerspore and
they arrived at is place called Rortisin : f
whence, on the morning of the 231, they bent their
course to the river Dorman, which is considered
as the southern boundary of Bundlecund. They
cro4sed the river on the 24th, and proceeded Li the
MA road to Saghtit : which plume they expected
to reach in the COWSe of a day or two. The pro-
gress of the detachment had hitherto been consi-
derably retarded, by the budoesss of the mid., and
the intricate nod difficult nature of the paaoS
through which they had to 'unrest. Their only
battering train euusisted of two howira.-rs, vciich, it
was supposed, would be sufficient for aiev service
of that nature that was likely to occur. Both offi-
cers and men trete in the highest spirits, and eager
to meet the enemy. Whether they should hold
their course towards Strange, Bora. or it. what
other direction. was still a matter of coujectare.—
Their movemeutii would moat probably be legs.

of the arrival of Colonel Close on the lefi Lank of

The detectiment, consisting of a Squadron and
Galloper tram the sth Native Cavalry, under the
command of Captain Clarke, of the 4th Light In-
fantry B ttcJinn, and a party of ten pioneers com-
manded by a Ilavildsr, marched from Cherterpore
on the 6th of January, and encamped on the Keine
day at Gehre-ke-Tatil, * distance of about font-
tern miles. Oa the followiog day, they made a
forced march of twenty-three miles, and crossed the
Cap) river at liajghaut. Owing to the extraordi-
nary length of the march, and the extreme diffi-
culty of the ford, the Galloper was not (-conveyed to
the opposite tide until sunset, and its transporta-
tion was only then effected by the great personal
exertions of the S-poys—there bring no footing for
the horse attached to it. The party having two
very rugged and steep ghautis before them iu their
neat maids, it was foutid indispensably neeeassitry.to
halt during the sth. Ou the 9th, they begun to
ascend the difficult passes of Mental, and Butierah;
butt, meeting with innumerable impediments, their
progress during that day did not exceed twelve
miles. They encamped at lienour-IcesTaul ; from
whence they marched on the inth, a distance of
eighteen miles, to Kokherettee. There they found
all the public buildings, the Officera' bunga-
lowa, and in short the whole of the cantonments,
completely &stinted by Gopaul Sing's people.
Early in the morning of the wit. Majur Kelly
marched in the direction of Kutwerah ; giving out,
i that he intended taking up his ground there on that
day. After advancing about ten miles, however,
he suddenly took the route of Sileeba and Guuj.
in the hope of surprising Goliath' Sing, who was
reported to have taken post at these places, with a
body of about tkir,v thousand infantry, 300 cavalry,
and live guns. After a march, however, of from
sixteen to seventeen miles, he had the mortifica-
tion to find, that Gopaul had obtained previous in.
felligeace of his toovement--had sent off his gnus
on the preceding day—and had himself, with the
whole of his people, fled up the second range of
ghauta, by the Mootmoorroo and Gulkhno passes.
The detachment encamped at Martha. the position
which Gaped Sing had abandoned. and the chief
residence of that chieftain below the ghauts.
Oat the 12, shout I P. M. some of the spies
having braight intelligence that Gopaul Sing
had established three posts between the Gulkboo

Nlajor Krily instantly proceeded, a itli . his troop

this party was so repot, that they fettle' tla: tires of

they came up. their victuals strewed all *long tho

flight. The uosts were passed, and the enemy

half an hour, and then returned t, camp. }Eery•
thing practicable having first been done, in impair
the strength of the enemy's posts, Major Kelly
detached Captain Hay, with two euntritiies of
light infantry• and a pally of cavalry. to Glionore,
for the purpose of keeping to check any of Gowan'

Ist leartalion of the ltith at Kokhrrettee, he him-
self, with the main hole, marched am the 14th to
rejects Colonel Martintlell.
During their march, the force was still an dis-
posed, us effectually to cover time ghatits. They
encamped on the 1411, at Antrvehtedeah, about
thirteen mile, from Stier's' ; and, on the 15th, they
were joined again, et Henautee, by Captain Hay
and his division. On the llith they re-crossed the
river Kayn, nt Booniaghenit ; and, after a march
nt fifteen mile-, they pitched their tents at Seeme-
reesh. On the 17th they forded the Bytmah at
Aiiinghaut, and encamped at Bosrar ; where. about

close to the large town of Huttah ; and after
