Sin—l have the honor to 'report to you, that
soon after the divi.inii came to its ground yesterday,
was informed that some of the Pashtos's horse
bid approached the co:re,redaud were driving away
the tattle ; I therefore oat the cavalry pic-
queta to their protection, sad being afterwards in-
formed that the enemy was in very great numbers,
find had formed within two miles of camp, I ordered
Major Dawes to proceed with two squadrons and
the galloper guns of the 7th light cavalry, and,
ordering the line under arms, I followed with the
rest of the cavalry to ascertain if it was practicable to
bring the enemy to action.
On arriving in sight of their troops I reinforced
the cannier, retaining only"pne squadron in a situation
Midway between them and the line ; but finding
that nothing would induce the enemy to approach
kis or stand their ground. I sent to recal the cavalry
a little before sunset.
Major Doveton repels, that with one squadron
of the irid dragoons and two of the 7th light cavalry,
be charged and diapersted three very large bodies
of the enemy; and I feel satisfied that no troupe
could hive done more, or been better managed,
than those under his command.
From numerous accounts I am convinced that
the enemy had 10,000 men in the field, being the
!suited bodies of horse of the VinchoOr Rajah, of
'part of Gokla's' and those of Gopanl Row; and al-
' though Major Doveton estimates their loss at only
40 or 50 men, the natives of the different villages
trpresent that they admit to have lost 100, and the
sane number of horses.
The loss on our side was one man of the 7th
light cavalry wounded, one horse of the and
une of the 7th cavalry, missing.
The brigade of gallopers was directed by Major
Cleaveland, of the artillery, who must have very
moth annoyed the enemy by their fire.

!tract from a Dispatch from
mm HisMp to the Guveraar•Geaersl and
Chief, dated Head•quarterrs, Army of the Deccan, Camp
at the Bottom of the Serum! Gloat, February e, 1818.
In my dispatch of the !nth ultimo I Wormed
your Lordship that Major Lushington's detach.
anent was destined to cover the Bombay battering
train in its junction with this force ; subsequent ar.
rangemeists, as described ia my letter of the 30th
ultimo, having rendered this co-operation unneces-
sary, Major Lualiington rejoined me at Indoor (22)
Hu the sth instant, the movement of his detachment
having !stored of the greatest service in counteract-
ing a plan made by Ram Deen (23) and Cheetoo,
with other rebel leaders, for a combined attack on
the valuable convoy of treasure and stores, which
was moving under Major Sealy, to join Sir William
)(vies

Captain Graut rejoined me on the morning of
the 29111 ultimo at °nein, and was again detached
from Indoor on the 3d instant wish a party, anted
in the margin (44). to attack the remainder of Cher.
loo's durrah, ruppo.rd to be near Bagley, about
fifty miles south-east of Indoor. A letter he ad.
dretord on the 4th instant to the Quarter-Master.

General shews to what extremity the once formid-
able Pindarries are stow reduced. Captain Grant
will rejoin me on the Nerbudda about the 10th
instant.

Brigadier... General Dorton marched from Nag-
tore on the 22cl ultimo for Ellichpore, where lie
had expected to meet Nawaub Sallobut Khan, who,
your Lordship is advised. had been requested to
tetnrn to his own provinces. Lieutetiatit-Colonel
'beacon. however, having received my orders to ad-
vance again upon Poona. was desirous of having an
effective divioon of the Nawaub's contingent with
him, on which the latter returned with the whole
sif his troops. My latest intelligence from Lieut.-
Colonel Deacon states him to have made a forced
march of 35 miles to intercept Gunput Rao (i 5).
who had, however. moved upon Rem, ■nd being
50 miles in advance of the Lieut.-Colonel, the lat-
ter resumed his march to Ahmednuggur. On the
route he received information of a party of Arabs,
in the Peisliwa's service, occupying the small fort
of Ne*ll44tli a few miles off the road from Toka(36);
in consequence of which he moved to attack them,
but astertaittiog that they were about to abandon
the post. he detached a body of irregular horse,
under Lieutenant Sutherland, who succeeded in
intercepting their retreat, and in destroying about
100 of them, on the Slut ultimo.
A letter, dated on the WI instant, from Lieute-
nant-Colonel Adams. at Dearajpoor. informs me
that he has received the submission of the Pindarry
Chief Naumilar Khan°, who, with his followers and
dependants also. had delivered himself up and ar-
rived in his camp.
