Dispatches have been reerived at the F.ast India !louse.

auppiessiug the insurrection raised in the &minions of the

Extract from a dispatch from the lion. Nlonntstuart Elphin-
stone, the resident at the Court of the Peisliwa., to the Go-
verpor General, dated Poona, April 7.
Since I had last the honour to address your lordship, Trim-
buckjee has gone on increasing his force as usual. He has
persons scattered through the villages for a considerable ex-
tent of country, recruiting for him, hut finds some difficulty in
raising men, some refuse; to join lino unless lie will show a
warrant from the Peishwa, in whose name he recruits; while
others join him with less difficulty, hut desert whenever there
is any report of all attack. Irriasiblickire himself remains se-
parate from his troops, and ofien changes his ground. He is
now stated to have retired across the Kistina, towards Dar-
war, hot the fact is uncertain. His troops are now chiefly in
the district ofint, between Punderpoor and Bejapoor ; troops
also still continue to be raised in Candeish.

Copy of a Dispatch from Captain George Sydenham, Poli-
tical Agent iu Dem, to Mr. Eiphiustone (no date), with an
enclosure.

Sin,—l have the honour to forward to you a copy of Cap-
tain Davies's report of a very brilliant and successful attack
which lie lately made on the insurgent horse in Candeish.
As the enemy have left the frontier, the troops ti:aged in
the attack have for the present been recalled to Aurungabad.
The Risala, which was on the way to join them, has been sta-
tioned at Kannar, and the post at the Gootalla Gliant in its
front strengthened by a company of regular infantry. rely
hirkatrahs are watching the enemy's movements ; and if they
should again approach the frontier, the Straws troops will be
reinforced. I have the honour to be,-&c.
GEORGE SYDENHAM, Agent in Berar.

Camp, April 21.
SIR,—I have the honour to report, that in pursuance of
the intention expressed in my litter to your address of the
tOth instant, I put the infantry in motion for the tiootalla
Ciliaut at three o'clock that afternoon, following myself with
about CM horse at four o'clock, and reached Saegaon, a vil-
lage belonging to Moorteeza or Jang, about six mi'es from
the foot of the (Aram, at tell o'clock at night, where I waited
one hour to cotlect the men, who had scattered, owing to the
badness of the Chant. By the (1) patelluf this village I was
iliformed, that the enemy had stationed mounted vklettes at
every village between that place and their camp, which was
*About 12 COO distant; but there was a road leading to it
through the jungle, fripiented only by (g) Brinjarrics, by
which I might advance unobserved, and he offered to con.
duct me; I act ordiugly mounted hint on a horse, and pro.
eeciling by the route he pointed out, arrived at a village
they Were reported to be encamped at, ten cuss distant, a
little after day break, when I futind that they bad marched
from thence the evening before to Guimaispoor, about two
cost. I advanced with five or six hot semen to reconnoitre,
leas lug orders whit Captain Pedlar to Ming up the horse, and
desiring her Captain Pedlar to leave the knapsacks of the
infantry in a ravine, and to follow with the utmost expedi-
tion; I had advanced a.,Out a mile, when I discovered one
aof the patroles of the enemy, whom I immediately pursued,

and took two of them prisoner., a third man escaped through
the jungle to the left; from the two poisoners I ascertained
that the enemy had their horses ready 'addled, but had not
received any information of our approach. I sent back to
desire Captain Pedlar to advance ;it a brisk pace; lie user-
took nie in a short time, and we pushed 4111 at a 8111N1 t comer,
and in ascending a riWitlg ground perceived the enemy drawn
lip to receive us, their (lank protected by a strong (3) gui nee,
into which they had thrust n some infantry, and their trout co-
s ered by a (4) mullah with sae, p hanks. As they consiiler-
slily outnumbered ns, being about Nu thousand strong, and
(drolly armed with matchlocks. I determined upon instantly
caarging them wills the sabre, and accordingly ordered the
men to sling their matchlocks, and advance in as compact
a burly as the nature of the ground, which was covered with
low jungle, would admit of; oil receiving this order Ulll' 1111l'
advanced at full speed, every man endeavouring to be first
on the enemy ; they tired a kw idiots from their matchlocks as
we were crossing the mullah, which fortunately passed ov, r
us without doing any injure. The instant we got os er the
hullah, thu enemy broke mid fled in all directions, and were
pursued upwards of three coss, sustaining a loss of about 200
men killed, besides a gnat number of wounded ;amongst the
latter was a person who appeared to be a chief of elilllo -
qucnce, called by his own men Appals Sahel., and who %viten
wounded, threw down his spear, and being well mounded,
made his escape. Finding the enemy by this tnne couplet. h
dispersed, I ordered the pursuit to cease, and the 111(11 to re-
turn to the enemy's camp.
Having been wounded during the pursuit, I lead dismount-
ed to tie up my arm, when I was informed unit a fresh body of
the enemy was coining down on our right ; I ordered (-apt.
Robinson, nho had anise t! wills the infant' y during the pur-
suit, to tall in his men. I mounted, and collecting as many
of the horse as I crailil, ads anted with the infantry in column,
left in front, and the horse formed iii line on the left of the
infantry, about five wiles, Ull4sll I funnel Risaldar .thou Alie
Khan, and first Jemedar Meer Siitldeer Aid, had collected
about 200 111113 •on the banks of a nullah, with whom they
kept the enemy in check, by a tire from their matchlocks ;
the instant they saw our line advancing, they went MI at
speed in is north westerly direction , and our horses being
completely jaded by the length of their march and umsuit,
I considered it useless to follow them.

A few prisoners were taken, IcO; which I learnt that the
body of horse collected, which they stated to be 2,000, was
commanded by Godajee How, a nephew of Trimbockjee
Minutia, and that Trimbuckjee himself was shortly expectil
to join them with a large reinforcement. The body of horse
which threatened to renew the combat were said to conii•t
of. iOO, which had been detached to a s illage at some dis-
tance, with about 300 of the fugitives who had rallied. One
of the prisoners also stated that they hail been joined, the
evening before, by about I•I0 hur•e from the southward ; that
a body of Arabs, trunk Mullegaon, was expected in two days,
and that Godajee Row Dainglia, had wrutcu to Setuohi,
assistance, who had promised to send 11611 a large body of
Pindarries.

I ant happy to say the loss on our pall was as little as can he
expected, and I should imagine at •cannot exceed In nu•n
killed,and too or 2) wounded; amoupt the latter, I regret
to state, is Captain Pedlar, severely.
I shall have the honour to forward a return (5) of the killed
and wounded as soon as it can be prepared.
I cannot eluse Iltis dispatch without' expressing the high
SiUM' I entertain Of the assistance I received fro n Captain
Pedlar, and Lieut. Rind, who joined me as a volunteer on this
occasion ; the former of w hunt had charge of the right, and
the latter ot the left wing. I have much pleasure in assuring
you, that although we nad marched upwards of 50 miles before
the attack en .need, not a man of the infantry had fallen
in the rear ; and 1 feel convinced, from the eagerness they
displayed on the occasion, that if an opportunity had offered
they would have attended me every assistance.
The behaviour of both officers and men composing the de.
tachment of reformed horse with ine in this affair, exceeded
my most sanguine expectations. There was not a single
otficer who did not distinguish himself; and they were must
gallantly supported by their men.
I have the honour to be, eke.

I descended the limit, and did not reach the village ofSirseea.
which lies at the bottom, until broad day-break , there
gained information of their having struck into the great road
to Toka, though I was previously assured that they were di.
ri cling their course to Picini] nu the Gouda very, with the
intention of crossing at that place. I halted again at 3lons,
on the Toka-road, to give the detachment rest, with a deter.
ruination to make a final effort to overtake the fugitives, if
liussible before they crossed the river : while here I received
nilormation of their having again deviated fi their route
arid Garecaganne, I learnt that they had halted there this
night before : having satisfied Inv self of the correctness of
this information, I continued my root(' to the westward ; and
aithough nearly two hours were lost by our guides taking •
the detachment a wrong road, yet I conceived that there was
still a possibility of coming up to the pursued before day-
break of the 11th. In this supposition, I ant happy to say.
I was not deceived, for at tike o'clock 1 instructed two of
uty e.iiiiiiissonied and non•co aaaaaa isioried confidential ()dicers
to enter a village in disguise, who sei..ed 111,1111 a 111311. WllOlll
I aticrwards compelled. by threats, to conduct us to the
Maliratta camp, which I had reason to suppose was about
four or five miles off.

Daring the time we were going this distance I made the
llVCl`S`asy arrangements for gut attack in three divisions, by
the twit in pint, consisting Of the flank companies of the •
lib Madras, and two companies of the 3d Bombay Native
Infantiy, tinder Captains Smyth and Deschamps, diverging
Iron' the head of the column to the right and left on entering
the encampment, and by directing the 3d diviyiuu, two com-
panies of the 2.1 Bombay Native Infantry, under Captain
Spear, to move steadily into its centre without breaking, with •
a view to this division becoming a point upon which the
others might rally in case of necessity.
On coining within two miles of the village of I'attre, the •
forces of the encampment were clearly discernible, upon
which the column moved forward with a hastened step, and
shortly before day-light entered the enclosures of the village.
It was then we plainly perceived that the Maharanis or
Pitidarry horse were either mounted or mounting fora march;
under these circumstances nu time was to he lost, and being
then only a few paces, as I supposed, from their rear piequet,
I directed Lieutenant Beach to give them a volley trout the
front sank of the i-don, having previously mitered
the front ranks of the leading divisions of the 3d and Ink
to lead, this was accordingly done ; and the C4IIIIIIIII imme-
diately after rushed forward to the charge. The horse lied
in all directions, leaving 30 or 60 killed and wounded on the
ground. They were pursued for borne distance, When the
exhausted static of the men, and the scattered order which
they were necessarily obliged to assume fur a pursuit, in-
duced me to concentrate my little force ; and I was the more
persuaded of the propriety of this measure from observing
considerable 'pudica of horse apparently well organized, in
commanding situations on our flanks. This arrangement, I
presume, induced them to draw oil; nor did 1 deem it right
or expedient to continue a pursuit a fresh body of horse,
with infantry jailed and exhausted from our lung marches,
toutinited for live successive days and nights.

1 omitted to mention before, that this hotly of horse, which
could not have been less than 4,000, murdered Lientimant
Warm, of the Aladras Artillery, and his sepoy guard at the
village of Soome, on the evening of the Nth, a ley,- hours
prior to my passing through it ; and that they phuuleued all
the smaller unprotected villages on their i 011ie limn the
southward to Pattre.

Some baggage, a quantity of arms, and from 100 to 150
horses of different descriptions, were left upon the ground ;
the greatest part of which were pillaged by the villagers in
the neighbourhood during the pursuit, mac.
I am happy to add, that we Intl with uu ra•nalties, with
the exception of one non-commissioned officer of the 2d
Bombay Native Infantry wounded.
Had we not unfortunately been led out of the route by the
guides, as before mentioned, we should in all probability
have found the enemy less prepared for flight, and conse-
quently have been enauled to give a better account of them ;
as it is, however, I hope you will give me credit when I
assure you, that every exertion was made by both officers
and mon for the public service ; and I feel great pleasure
in having this opportunity of beaming testimony to the cheer-
fulness with which the officers performed their several

I estimate the distance traversed by the detachment to
be about 150 miles, including the rimming it marched with
the camp; and during the last ;it hours, it actually marched
41 miles, not including the pursuit.
In concluding, I beg you will excuse the proxility of this
report, and have the 'Amour to remain, Sir, your obedient
