for his Excellency's further information, that the Resident
having previtsiusly requested that his brother, Major Jenkins,
ermonanding the infantry of the Rajah's contingent, might
attend me as an extra Aide-de-Camp on this occasion, it
becomes a pleasing part of my duty to express how much
I was indebted to that Officer fur his uncommon exertions,
nor can I pass river in silence the merits of Lieutenant
Bayley, attached to the Nagpore contingent, who, though
suffering under a severe wound received in the attack of the
With, volunteered his services, and, from his local kauwledge,
was of rent use to me.
His Ilighiseas the NiZRT'S troops, ander the command of

In a letter I whitened to the Adjutant-General from
Negoor, I begged him to acquaint yen, that nothing whatever
of interest bad occurred mace my report t to you fluor Puu-
derpore.

The enemy appeared in greater force than I have ever vet
seen, since he broke up from Curium-al, at our passage of the
Gore Haver, but he attempted 'willing, except keeping up an
incessant fire of matelitneks, scarcely within 1114111 On range.
We had out a man touched. and I never returned bit fire In

but couelude lie has not takeu them wills ham in the very
difficult strung country he has cultured, which indeed deter-
mimed one on my present runic, and will also rumble me the
better to keep him from passing into Khandeish. If I could
have possibly persuaded his Iliztiness to any particular
route fur our advantage, he has brim& me in that I should
have usmed, and which has enabled me to provide supplies
fur our bazar, and every thing we required.
By his having taken sap iufautry also (avid no other troops
eau defend hint in the Gleaut), I earnestly hope I may be
able to get up with him. I should be at Nabourie to-mor-
row, on the Honda Gloria, and shall have turned all the
Chatits to the westward, and be prepared to act either with
ear without fight guns.
