Extract of a letter from Captain Stewart, Acting Resident
with Sciudiah, to Mr. Adam, Chief Seriatim to the Bengal
Goverument, tinted Gwalitir, December I, 18111.
I liner the hunitstr to transmit, for the information of the
Must Noble the Governer-General in Conneil, Captain
Blacker's report of the affair with Dhuktil Sing. Consider-
ing that this i■ the first occasion un which the contingent
has been engaged isatkuot the 'tipped of the British troop's,
his Excelkocy will, I doubt nut, appreciate the stradioras
anti resolution with which they behaved, psrtictila►ly when
opposed with such gallantry by the Rajpoots of Kurhwe-
warm!), who bare hitherto bees regarded by the itabrattas
with considerable awe.

It Is evident that the good conduct or the contingent no
this occasion is to be attributed in a great degree to the
order and subordination introdoced into the corps by Cup

Nip Blacker, and to the essmple of courage aad resilutitso
set lo them by that officer, to whose couduct I stay therefore
be again permitted to draw the attention of his Excellency
the Goventor-General.
Extract from Captain Blarker's Report, enclosed in the pee.
ceding, dated Camp Parwah, Sthtb November, 1818.

Dhaka! Sing was at hitizoodeughur levying contributions,
and threatened to proceed to ithelsa ; be had a force, it was
said, of übout 3,001 horse and facie, His latter were cont.
posed of Schuh", and he had also a small body of 'arse-
nicn of the same tribe. The Rajpoot bone formed a small
but very brave body of men, Mid the remaiaJer consisted of
I•iudarries or late adherents of Macre khan, uu whom no
&voidance could be placed.
On my arrival at Sewage (by which route I came to deter
him from gulag towards Rheims), 1 was joined by captain
Fielding with the second corps of the cuutingent.
Dhnkul Sing moved from Maxoudengbur iu a northerly di.
rection, and creased the Parbottee river west of Ragoaghur
I followed bins, requesting Capiain Fielding to take a route
to my right to prevent his entering the jungles of Keats's.
warn.

I crossed the Parbuttee an the 21.1, when, hearing that he
was not far distant, I advanced at sunset with five hundred
ut the British levy and 'lnlets hundred !Hebrew/ home.—
Abont midnight I was assured by the villagers that he was
oily five miles distant, sad halted such time as would allow
the to reach his camp by daylight.
He had, however, moved in the evening, and taken to the
thick jungles which line the basks of the Purbuttee, asp.
posing, as I have since beard, that I mould Not follow bile.
I arrived at eight a. at., 14#1, at the grimed he bad left au
boar before, and could perceive his party at interval' about
three miles in front of me. _ _ .

I punned as fast as possible' bat the jungle was so thick,
sad the ground so broken with deep ravines sad rocky mul-
lahs, that a single sower could with difficulty pass in must
places. After proceeding about sic miles I 101111111 him drawn
up on a small open spot, with his infantry soda select body
of horse. The utmost 1 could muster these, twin to the
Hacksaw of the jungle, was about tee headral British levy
sod one hundred and fifty Martina horse, with which, as hr
stood, I funned and moved demo ; he,•however, anticipated
lay attack by charging us; a small party rescinded tbrungli
the free, but some I believe relearned.
This wait decisive of the affair, the rentaiader dashed their
borers through the jailer, and being will sommted, while
our cattle were fatigued, aeon camped from the pursuit,
which was continued only a short distance; 25 or 30 were
left dead au the leld, sad I ascertained from one of the
wounded that they were his principal people. Two *lode
jrniadars were among the number. His party deepened in
every direction through tbe jungle. DhukuLSlag bineself was
wentuded in three places, and was carried on a rut into
Hiowda,to miles distant, on the right batik of the Par.

reached that place, whteb was their resoltareses; ueci day he
diagramed hes followers, and wish • few screams retinrdliti the

I cams here yesterday, when learniug of Captain

to proceed further.
It was my intention to have proceeded to.toorrow across
the river again, and, by • rapid moveriseat, endeavour to
