Roopur Rhea.
Our fire re-opened, and the enemy were driven back to
to the town.

The following is General Hivelock's communi-
cation explanatory of his first movements towards
Cawnpore :
Cawnpore had suddenly fallen, by an act of treachery
unequalled in our annals, save by one fatal event beyond
the Indus.

No time was to be lost ; so on the 10th my column
marched, under a frightful sun, fifteen miles to Synee,
and resuming their coarse at eleven o'clock at night,
joined Major Renaud on the road, by moonlight, and with
him marched to Khags, fivo miles from Futttehpore, soon
after dawn, and took a position.
The heat was excessive, but there were now on a
point 1,400 British bayonets, and eight guns, united to a
small native force. . .

Our information had :been better than that of the
enemy, for when Lieutenan'.colonel Tytler pushed a
reconnaissance up to the town, they evidently supposed
they had only Major Renaud's gallant but small force in
their front, for after firing on tho Lieutenant-Colonel and
his escort, they insolently pushei forward two guns and a
force of infantry and cavalry, cannonaded our front, and
threatened our flanks. _

I wished earnestly to give our harassed soldierd rest,
and so waited until the ebulition should expend, itself,
making no counter disposition, beyond posting 100
Enfield Rifi!men (64th) in an advanced copse. But the
enemy maintained his attack with the audacity which his
first supposition had inspired, and my inertness fostered.
it would have injured the morale of my troops to p srmit
them thus is be bearded, so I determined at once to bring
on an action.

Futtehpore constitutes a position of no small strength.
The hard dry Grand Trunk road subdivides it, and is the
only means of convenient access, for the plains on both
sides are covered at this season by heavy lodgments of
water, to the depth of two, three, and four feet. It is
surrounded by garden inclosures of great strength, with
high walls, and has within it many houses of good
masonry. In front of the swamps are hilloeks, villages,
and rn.ngoe groves, which the enemy already occupied in
force.

I made my dispositions. The guns, now eight in num-
ber, were formed on and close to the Chaussee, in the
centre under Captain Maude, Royal Artillery, protected
and aided by 100 Enfield Riflemen of the 64th. The
detachments of Infantry were, at the same moment
thrown into line of quarter-distance columns, at deploy-
ing distance, and thus advanced in support, covered at
discretion by Enfield skirmishers. The small force of
volunteers and Irregular Cavalry moved forward on the
flinks, on harder ground.
1 might say that in ten minutes the action was decided,
for in that short space of time the spirit of the enemy
was utterly subdued the rifle fire reaching them at an
unexpected distance, filed them with dismay, and when
Captain Maude was enabled to push his guns through
flanking swamps to point-blank range, his surprisingly
accurate fire demolished their little remaining etdidence.
In a moment three guns were abandoned to us on the
chaussee, and the force advanced steadily, driving the
enemy before it on every point.
Major Renaud won a hillock ou the right in good style,
and struggled on through the inundation. The 78th, in
extension, kept up his communication with the centre;
the 64th gave strength to the, centre and left; on the left
the 84th and a regiment of Ferozepore pressed back the
enemy's right.
As we moved forward the enemy's guns continued to
fall into our hands, and then in succession they were
driven by skirmishers and contains from the gar4eu
enclosures, from a strong barricade on the road, from the
town wall, into and through, out of and beyond, the town.
They endeavoured to make a stand a mile in advance of
it. My troaps were in such a state of exhaustion that I
almost despaired of driving them further. At the same
time the mutineers of the 2nd Light Cavalry made an
effort to renew the combat by charging with some success
our Irregular H rse, waose disposition throughout the
fight was, I regret to say, worse than doubtful. Bat
again our guns and riflemen were with great labour
pushed to the front. Their fire coon put the enemy to
flight, and my force took up its present position in
triumph, and parked twylve captured guns.
