On the esti) the breach in the cu-lain of the
furl of Nlallegaum was reported bowl appeared prac-
ticable, and the senior engineer, Easiges Nauru,
recommended storming next mormaig.
I made my arranger ents fur three simultaneons
attacks, two on the outworks yid laettalt ne the
opposite aide, commanded by Lis. utensty-Colonel
Stewart and slejor Nlachean, and the third and
principal one on the road leading to the breach
under Major Greenhill, who hail pitied me with the
second battalion seventeenth, or C. L. I. on the even-
ing df she 27t11. This attack et-answer' of one hula-
died Europeans, Hod five. I lied Sepoys of different
corps, mostly of the second Irattel of the seven-
teenth, situ headed by Ensign None , rappers and
miners, ladders, 84c. every Mall carrying two hags
filled with wet grass, Ensign Mattes lonised' telling
the example. The road leading to the ler:each oh the
outwoi ka is flanked by towers slid loop-holes ; how-
ever, our men moved on gallantly until &pap'
Nattes got to the top of the breach, when he celled
out" impracticable," and immediately received tire
balls in different parts of his body. alai,pr (ireemi-
hill had fallen a little behind is. consequence of a
wound in the heel, but Captain Keuuedy led on the
advance, and was mortally wounded close to where
poor Nattrs fell. All this tune the tire fuer) the
towers and loop-holes was kept pretty well under
by our shot, shells, and musketry from the reserve.
I was obliged, however, to soiled the 'mall, and
our brave troops returned more continced of their
superiority over these limbs that. whets they Lid-
vinced. Captain Kennedy amid Ensign ?Mattes, with
most of the wounded men, were brought hack, but
Lieutenant Wilkinson, of the second battalion of
the 13th regiment, sod five men who were killed,
remained in the bed of the river, and on the tap of
the breach, until doolies were seta, and time Arabs
partottted them to berliroogitt-in. tisd
paosible for oar men to have got to the bottom of
the breach of the fort, I have no doubt we should
have carried the place, but there was tin road, the
enemy having cut away from the inside of the breach
of the outwork three tunes the depth of our scaling

ladder..
As the attention of most of the enemy was drawn
to this attack, the town of Ma *lllleirstly
occupied, and I have now turned the siege into a
blockade until the battering guilt; and stores arrive
from Ahrnednuggur. Our approaches on the Pettit'
side are now within twenty paces of the enemy's
outworks, and mines may be easily carried on which
the river on the other side prevented. The fat
and outworks of Malligaum are uncommonly well
built, and, without naming, it will be impossible
to fill up the different ditches. 4 lament the loss
of so mousy gallant officers and men since 4 come
before this place ; but it is watts much pleasure I re-
, port to iris Excellency, that every man was cool
and determined, and trever Siuched until the recall
was sounded.
