The Invitation Mr. ROWCROFT has had the honour to

Extract from a dispatch front the Governor in Conned of
Bombay, to the Secret Committee, dated Jaw. 14, 181:1.
By letters frem Captain Sydenhain, dated at Aoungalsail
on the 3d instant,we have the pleasure to state that Briga-
dier-General Ilardyman had completely defeated n body
of the Rajah of &ear's troops near J.ilohnlpore, taking all
their gens,with little loss on our aide, only three officers
wounded; and that General (lastly maio's force, consisting
of the 17th Kiues foot, two battalions and a regiment of
cavalry, would reach Nagpore un the nth of this month,
when General Doveton,being junior to hint, with as many
troops as could be spared, would more probably towards
Asreergkur. The Peislaws, according to the 14.1, accounts
received from the Deccan, was at Sapar, about 30 sulks S E.
of Pouua, un the sth instant. moving it was supposed, w.
wards %Marsh. The whole of his Higlines,'s troops,
amounting to about twenty-live thousand horse and five
thousand infantry, Wm on recent return los arils
Poona, to have been directed to the complete destruction of
the Id battalion of the Ist regiment of Bombay Native In-
fantry, which we apprised your Hon. Cononitive in our last
dispatch, bad taken post at Coreganni. The approach of
Brigadier-General Smith, however, seems to have led the
Peishwa to prosecute his Bight to the sionihward, and fortu-
nately enabled emit:tin Staunton to retool, in !kronor with
the principal part of his corps, which he reached on the morn-
ing of the 3d.
The force under Captain Staunton consisted of 2il hatta-
lino lst, 560 rank and file, with four officers sod an Assist.
ant-Surgeon ; twenty.five of the Madras Artillery, with one
officer and an Assistant-Surgeon, accompanied by two hun-
dred and fifty of the auxiliary borer, under Lieutenant
Swanton. The attack comae:teed at eleven, a m. on the
Ist, and continued without intermission until seven of the
evening of that day. The battalion lust fifty-three killed,
and one hundred and this ty,four wounded; among the for-
mer is Assistint-Surgeon Wingate, nod the latter Lieutenant
Palliation and Cannelton, both of them severely ; of the 25
artillery, 13 (including Lieut. Chislorn) were killed and lilac
wounded ; Captain Swindon, of the Madre* Establishment,
is also among the ded, though we hope not seriously.
Your Hon. Committee will contemplate with admiration the
gallant defence which this small force has made againat the
maim body of the Peislowa's army, of whom 700 are reported
to have bane killed and woolinsleil,of which his II igloo as and
his principal officers were spectator; at a 'hint di:dance
from the town. Brigadier-GeneralSmitli had proceeded to

Sensor, where he espertrd to uteri General Prilzier's force on
the 6th of 7th of this month, and after forming llwir united
furcea into three (which, we midi rahoid, to h. his
indention) will renew his pursuit of the Peishwa. The most
perfect tranquillity continues to prevail at Poona.
No akinl accounts from the army in Malwa have reached
us since our last dispatch. A private letter, however, hum
the Resident at Baroda states, that the last ailtiees (tom
that quarter, were dated Camp at Joura, the 2911 t of Iterem-
her ; that Holkar's troops had, on the approach of Sir W.
heir to Jour', evacuated the place, leaving four cunt and
one hundred and twenty pair of bollocks to • hands; that
Sir John Malcolm had advanced about the 2:Oli in pursuit
of the enemy, hut, from the information obtained, it was
thutight be would ti oil them too atrosiK for him without as-
militant:ie. From the best accounts it iiiittearn that 1101har's •
army was at Mundousu, 00 strong, with 31, guns.
