I marched the same morning myself with the re-
mainder of my detachment (six artillery men, one
three-pounder. and fifty rank and file), for the
purpose of taking the fort of Buvranghur, situated
on a high and very steep hill, which was in the l►os-
session of a body of Rainomets (11), who h■d
some time since taken it from the late Peisliwah's
troops.
On my arrival here at sunset yesterday, prepara-
tions were immediately made for carrying the fort
by escalade. and orders were issued fur a detach-
meta to march at three o'clock this morning; ac-
cordingly as party of six a►tillerymeu and sixty flank

I have the honour to report that. agreeably to
your instructions, I marched with a detachment of
one hundred rank and file, and arrived at Tul-
lorda (the village at the foot of Byratughur) this
day at ten e.
My party lonic much fatigued with the length
of the march, I did not think proper to ascend the
hill. which is nearly three cobs in ascent. but sent
for the Killadar, who causing with a small party,
a•rangementa were qiiickly made for my bring put
in possession the next morning. The Killadar
only required that the aims and property of him-
self mid garri►on, amounting to nitwit one hundred
and fifty, should not be taken away. which I agreed
to; the Ramoosses being in some strength likewise
in the vicinity of the fort, the Killadar arid garoison
begged a party of repays to escort them to rattan
on the Deccan.
