Ern= t'» Cuicsaa Govertinteal .Gazdte Sztranniimarg, of
April 14.1
FORT WILLIAM.

The assault commenced, and in spite of a well-direeted fire, and of
the steepness of the ascent, which was occasionally nearly perpen-
dicular, many gained the summit. Lieutenant Clarke, Aide-de-
Camp to Brigadier-General All`Besta with saveral of the Light In-
fantry Company of his 51ajeely's teeth Regiment, got their heads
on the trench; but even witli the assistance such a hold afforded,
wereunable to maintain their ground : large stoned were rolled on
them ; and smaller ooes discharged from bows; the consequence
was, thay were precipitated to the bottom. In this attempt the ef-
forts were persevered in till every officer was sounded.
I cannot here avoid interrupting the detail to make known to his
Excellency Met on no occasion could British gallantry he more
conspicuously displayed ; the conduct of the officers was-anointed
by the men, and European and Native troops vied with each other
to equal the example set.
. The gums, in the ardour of the moment, had been advanced bar
Captain' Lamb, who commended them, an far, that on the retreat
of the quota they became too exposed to be longer served ; and the
retiring of them at the titno was impracticable without tho hazard
of sacriKing the mon, who would have been obliged to effect it by
the dreg ropes.
While the attack was being =fled on at the pass, the right of
the enemy'. position was cannonaded, but- without any apparent
effect; the 12-pounders and heavy howitzers were afters/tolls moved
to play upon the works at the pass; the fire was continued for an
hour, but, It appearing to be but a useless waste of ammunition, I
causal it to be discontinued, and dose guns to be withdrawn; at
the lame time an Inacanipment was marked out, the tents were
pitched, and' at one o'ehick the troops fell back upon them, with
the exception of the advance, which was confirmed, doting the day
in the permit,* they occupied ; in the dusk of the mining the'
wounded wore brought off, the guns esitiulrawn, ausal-1114 a4figio•
retired eitheut farther loss, though a heavy fire had beau continual..
by the enemy at Intervals during the day.
From observations made, tho conviction was eetahlished, that the
right of the o:my's defences was the key of his position. Ileas
the natural obstacles were the greatest, the approach being pro- '
tected by a small lake, the ascent being noire abrupt, and the
height being more considerable. These seemed to have given a
confidence in its security; and though the summit was crowned
with a stockade, and part of the way uo thickly ahhetised, the
' number of men to guard it was not considerable.' This point was
therefore selected for the principal future attack. At the same
time, the construction of a battery for four movers, two 24-
pouoders, four 12. pounders, and two 5i inch howitzers, to play on
the works at the pai-s, andi to draw the enemy's attention en-
tirely to thqt point, was ordered. The Senior Engineer Officer
Lieut. Thompson, received directions to that effect; and the toy
of the 311th was employed in bringing from Alahattee the Aces-
sary materiel. At half-past seven that evening ground was broke;
by three o'clock the battery finished, and before day-light WT.
pfet•iy'armed, when the guns opened, and continued during the
' day a heavy cannonade, which had the effect of checking the ene-
my's fire, though it was not entirely silehced.
Instructions were given to Brigatli:r Richards to make a night
attack with the force as per margin:—Right column—Alajor Car.
ter, his Majesty's 44th regiment, two companies of his alejoaty's
44th ditto, two ditto, (Grenatliera) 2fith regiment, thirty troopers
(dismounted.) Left column—Two companies of his Majesty's
1 44th regiment, one ditto, 21ith regiment (Licht Infantry cora-
pany ;) one ditto 49th regiment (do. do.) thirty flotilla seamen.
Reserve under Captain Shelton, his Majesty's 44th regiment.
Two companies of his Aittjeaty's 44th ditto (grenaters) 411th
regiment forty pioneers. On the right of the enemy's position, at
half-past eleven, the appointed rocket signal of success was thrown
up; and Licut. Wroughton, Surveying Department, in • short
time after returned from the height, brioging the grateful in-
telligence, that though the firo of the enemy had been heavy,
the stockade had been gained wit! a man on our side be-
ing killed, and with only a few slightly wounded. A copy of
the Brigridler's report of the affair (No. 2) is herewith enclosed.
A reinforcement of the remainder of the let brigade, with
two six-pounders on elephants, was immediately despatched.
Arrangements had also been made for storming the works at the
pass, on the morning of the Ist, should the fire from the battery
have produced such an effect as would almost insure the COT•
taloty of success. Brigadier Richards was also directed to com-
mence, at day-light, an attack on the defences of the iutervening
heights.
The difficulty of carrying the guns up the hill caused a delay,
and it was near seven o'clock before one was ntounted, a few rounds
from which silenced the tire of a six-pounder that the enemy had
planted on the next summit, when the Brigadier advanced to the
assault. The enemy did not stand; advantage was taken of tits
panic of the moment, the detachment under Brigadier-General
APllean, which consisted as follows-1A subaltern's detachment of
Artillery, 60 troopers (dismounted), 2.1 brigade (except tour com-
panies of his Majesty's 54th Regiment, who were attached to the
sth brigade) •, four companies 2d L. S. Battalion, 30 flotilla sea.
men, detached of regular pioneers with six scaling iaddersl-42.
loted to the attack of the ptea,waselliected to move forward. The
enemy were soon seen abandoning all the heights ; from that mo-
ment opposition ceased, and Arracan was gained.
It has been my province to lay before his Excellency a nieces-
lion of operations, which have accomplished the first object directed
by the instruction emanating from the Governor General in
Council ; but to the duty of doing justice to the merits of the force
collectively, and to individuals separately who had the opportunity
of putting themselves more conspicuously forward, I own myself
incompetent ; and I must trust to his Excellency's discernment to
appreciate how truly a claim to his approbation has been perfected
by the division, more from his knowledge of what they have had to
encounter titan from any representation I sin able to make. Tits
Political Agent T. C. Robertson, Esq. not only previous to the
force quitting Chittagong, but to the present period, has been
zealously and indefatigably engaged in rendering every assistance
that the Civil Power could command ; his arrangements on all oc-
casions have tended to the advantage of the whole and to the ac-
commodation of individuals ; and I truly rejoice at this opportu-
nity of publicly acknowledging, that the greatest benefit has been
derived from his presence.

lance was made, to areertain the situation of the passes through the
hills, and the obstacles to be encountered. The natural ones were
considerable, arising principally from the steepness of the ascents,
and from the course of deep tide Nullohs.
On the 26th, the troops then present, crossed the Wabraing by
day-break, and were formed into tour columns, as per margin.—

The centre column had not proceeded far ere the tocsin of alarm,
and shouts from the hills, gave notice where they were occupied,
I and that the enemy were in force. The advance, consisting of the
light infantry companies of the 2fith, 28th, 49th, and 631 regiments,
under the command of Captain .Mason, 49th Regiment, was di-
rected to gain the summit, which was effected in the 111011 t gallant
manner. The column then moved to its left, to the attack of a
stockade; while the light infantry companies, keeping nearly
parallel to it, drove the enemy from several entrenched positions
along the crest of the hills. Two rounds from the 12-pounders
caused the but partly finished stockade to be abandoned; the men
who retired from it immediately occupied strong grounds on the
heights above. Here, the left column, from being compelled to
diverge front the river, joined ; and a smart lire was continued, till
the grenadiers of his Majesty's 44th Regiment, and left grenidiers
of the 49th Regiment Bengal Native Intantry, began to ascend at
two different points; the enemy then Bed; on which the centre
column retraced its steps, and defiled through the abandoned pass;
while the left column proceeded in furtherance of the orders tint
given. The ground on the north side of the hills proved to be an
extensive plain, intersected by several deep title nulliths belted with
jungle. In such a eountry die dying foe easily escaped, as the
cavalry was unable to pursue, till assisted by the labour of the
pointers. The forward movement was, however, continued till
the three columns united at theJeejah river; here it was intended
to hare halted, till the artillery, under the protection of the reserve,
could be brought up ; but a few companies of the 49th Regiment,
N. 1., under Lieutenant-Colonel Smith, having been pushed across
to ascertain what was in front, the report was made that the enemy
were approaching in column, supported by cavalry. So desired an
opportunity was immediately embraced, the low state of the tide
and the sandy bottom of the river enabling the troops to pass with-
out impediment. The heads of the columns had, however, Inn
sooner debauched from the jungle, than the enemy fled, and
reached, with but little loss, their works that covered the fords of
the Measure.

WORSTED OR SILK MILL. BROMSGROVE,
WORCESTERSHIRE.

TO be LET s very valuable MILL, four stories high,
with wings of three stories, on which an extensive Manufac-
tory of Worsted Yarn has been carried on for upwards of 30 years;
together with the shops, warehouses, wool•nwms, dye-houses,
dyiag-houre, wash-house, oil-rooms, combers' shops, barn, stable.
and about 16 Acres of Land.

The troops hatl now been under arms nine hours, and were still
anxious to proceed, but a consideration for their physical strength,
with an unwillingness to remove still further trout the supplies,
whose arrival must necessarily be retarded by the nature of the
country passed over, caused me to direct, that positions, where
shelter frotu the sun might be obtained, should be occupied. The
fire of the enemy, while they opposed us, was noisy, but ill-
directed. A further consequence of this day's action, beyond the
advantage immediately gained, was, that the enemy abandoned
their stockades at Kheong Peela (alias (Mamballa).
The troops, with the exception of the reserve, which did not ar.
rive till near midnight, having gained their exertions to enable the
artillery to join, bivouacked by brigades.
On the 27th, when the fog dispersed, the order of advance was
resumed, and Major Carter, his Majesty's 44th regiment, with
three companies of that corps, covered by the light infantry com-
pany, his ,Nlajesty's 54th regiment, was directed to carry a small
hill in front of the enemy's works, while the remainder of the force
moved forward in columns, at quarter distance, with the artillery
on the reverse flank.

The Mill is worked by a water-wheel, 12 feet wide and 20 feet
high, which is turned by two streams of water. The reservoirs
corer about seven acres.

Commodore Hayes has, on all occasions, rendered an aid the
most effectual, and had it not been for the assistance afforded by
the flotilla under his command, the arrival of the force before Ar-
racan would bare been almost impracticable. Every exertion was
made by him to co-operate, and when insurmountable obstacles
prevented the further approach of the gun-boats to the scene of
action, he landed two 24 pounders, and with the British seamen,
dragged them and their appurtenances a distance of five miles, to
the encampment before Arracan, rendering them available for any
service on which they could be usefully employed.
Brig.-Gen. Maclean gave me the benefit of his judgment and
experience, and the effectual aid of kis directing superintendence;
to offer a further remark on the known zeal of one, who has so
firmly established his claim to honourable tame, would, i tear, in
me be but an assumption—to his Excellency the claims of Brigadier
General Matßean are fully known:
The assiduity of Brigadier Grant. C. 8., commanding 2d bri-
gade, of Brigadier Richards' commanding let brigade, of Briga-
dier Fair, commanding 6th brigade, and of Lieutenant-Colonel
Lindsay. commanding artillery division, demand that I should
state to his Excellency, that their example and their directions
materially contributed to the success of our operations.
Did the limits of a despatch allow of my mentioning separately
the officers who commanded corps, I should feel myself most
particularly bound to name them ; and proud should I be in being
the instrument of more especially recording their deserts, than
while bearing testimony to the merits of all, in saying that every
officer, non-commissioned officer, and private, performed his duty,
equally by gallantry in the field, and lir the willing endurance of
privations, that the division might move forward.

The above Waters may be relied upon as genuine, and are pre-
pared both in Glass and atone Bottles, and a liberal allowance is
made for empty Bottles when returned.

principal towns of England.

The enemy's position was well chosen, being situated on a penin.
sula, protected by a broad river, whose fords are only passable at
nearly low water, and whose banks are not only steep, but covered
stilt sharp stakes. Their defence consisted of deep entrenchments
along the margin, with epaulmenta left to protect them front an
enfilading fire t in the rear, high conical hills, surmounted by
pagodas' and surrounded by entrenchments, served as numerous
citadels, and appeared to be occupied.
On the advance of the party under Major Carter the enemy that
occupied the hill retired across the river, when a fire from those
parts of their works that commanded it was immediately opened--
four 12-pounders, two si-inch howitzers, and two 6-pounders,
were placed in position, while the first brigade was moved to the
right to attack a column that appeared in that direction, and which
I now judge to have been an intended reinforcement; it did not,
however, long remain in sight, or reach Itlahattee. The fire of
the artillery soon silenced the enemies, and checked the effective
fire of their musketry ; and as the fords were then passable, the 2d
brigade took ground to the left, in order to cross to the right of the
enemy's defences. The Ist brigade, and two ressalas of horse
were moved at the same time forward, the reserve (formed as on
the preceding day, with the addition of three companies, 2d light
infantry battalion, and a rifle company Mug Levy) following.
On the 2d Brigade descending into the river, the enemy aban-
doned their post, while the troops on the right (thasituatlon of the
ford having bun ascertained) crossed, but from the'skeepness of the
bank on the opposite aide, had great difficulty in entering the
works. A reseals of horse, witn the rifle company plug Levy
were pushed over still farther to our right to gain the road by
which the enemy were retreating, anti arrived in time to do some
execution among their rear, and to prevent the destruction of
bridges on the road to Arracan.
. .

I have omitted to mention, that, daring the commencement of
the action (which lasted about two hours) I received the pleasing
intelligence of the near approach of Brigadier-Oeneral
with the 6th brigade.
On the it was necessary to halt, to obtain information, and al-
low of a junction being formed of the troops still in the rear, and by
the tiottilla ender Commodore Hayes, who was in progress for that
purpose; in the evening this was erected, and the enemy's position
partly reconnoitred.
. . . _

. .
On the 29th, the division moved, forward at day-light; the ad-
vance under Brigadier-General kl• Bean consisted of 1 teasels of
horse, 2 6 prs., 2 howitzers, Lth brigade, 6 comps. H. hl. 54th regt.
2d light infantry battalion, rifle company, Mug Levy, 1 comp. re.
gular pioneers, 1 ditto Mug ditto, 10 scaling ladders. Considera-
ble delay was occasioned by fug, and which at first prevented the
great strength of the enemy's position from being discovered. It
occupied a range of connected hills (hilts ascertained to be from
350 to 450 feet in height) strung by nature, and rendered still more
so by art, escarpment, abbatis, and masonry having been resorted
to, where' those means could be most efficaciously employed.
One pass alone leads through them to the capital, and that was de.
fended by a lire of several maw of artillery, and abort 3000 mug-
quets: the whole number of the enemy ranged along the heights
may be estimated at from 0 to 9000 men; be ground in front is an
extensive valley, entirely clear of jungle, but in depth not alto-
gether out of the range of the enemy's artillery.
" Where the advance halted, it was partly covered by a tank, and
Brigadier-General 51' Bean made a disposition for acquiring the
principal hills in the first range at the commencement of the pass.
Four pieces of artillery were forwarded to cover the attack, and the
troops for the assault, consisting of the Light Infantry Company,
his Majesty's 51th Regiment, four Companies 2d Light Infantry
Battalion, and the Light Infantry Companies of the 10th and 111th
Regiments M. N. I. with die Rifle Company Mug Levy, were
placed under Major Kernm ; a support of six companies 16.11
Ra-
gimsot, Al. Ni I. under Captain French, of that corps, followed.

I may, however, I hope, be pardoned in representing, that the
Dep. Au. Adjut.-General, Lieut. Scott, rendered me the most
effectual assistance; that the Ist Dep. Au. Qr.-Master General,
Capt. Drummond, conducted the business of his department with
judgment, with the greatest personal exertion, and with the most
indefatigable perseverance. The 23 Dep. Ass. Qr.-kfaster.Gen.
Lieutenant Paton, has also established his claim to a particular
notice. The Assistant Commissary-General, Captain Bannerman,
has had no common difficulties to encounter, in eff,•ctually arrang.
ing, for the continued supplies of the troops, the means of cot,.
vcyance by land, at his command, never exceeded a week's sup.
ply. The Superintending Surgeon, Dr. Grant, has on every occa-
sion provided for the comfort and relief of the sick and wounded,
and with other medical officers, was ever forward, while the troops
were engaged, to render immediate assistance. To Lieutenant
Wroughton, of the Survey Departmenta ant particularly indebted,
not only for the reconnoissances he made when we neared the enemy.
but especially for discovering the paths by which Brigadier
Richards, with the column under his command. gained the right of
the enemy's position. Lieutenant Thompson, the senior Engineer
Officer, displayed zeal and practical proficiency in the performance
of his duty ; to Captain Wilkie more especially, and to the other
officers of the pioneers generally, the advance of the division may
be mainly attributed ; a mad of nearly 150 miles in length ha., by
the labour of the pioneers, under their judicious directions, been
completed; many witnesses rendered passable, and innumerable
Nullahs bridged. 1 much fear that the continued exposure to the
sun will for 'tome time deprivo the division of the b nefit of
Captain Wilkie's services, who persevered in doing his duty,
till success crowned our efforts, though suffering from severe
indisposition.

If ever Instances of mental energy triumphing over bodily infir-
mity were exemplified, they have been displayed by Colonel G. of
the 2d local horse, who, on each occasion. when there was a proba-
bility of the cavalry being engaged, caused himself to be rentrived
from his palanqiun to be placed on his horse, though so weakened
by long sickness as to be unable, for any length of time, to prolong
the exertion.

This despatch will be delivered by Lieutenant Bellew, my Di :H-
-wy Secretary ; he has entitled himself to my coaridence, and is
enabled to afford his Excellency the best Mforination on mall
points connected with this country.

For my Aide-di-Camp, Lieutenant Hawkins, I beg to solicit his
Excellency's notice, and to strongly recommend him for any mark
of approbation : and I can confidently assert, that both from
talent and education, he promises to prove a credit to the pro-
fession,
