Extract from a Dispatch from the Han. M. Elphinstone to
the Duvet-slur-General and CummaMJcr•iu-Cbirt, dated
Camp, at 'rumba, 31st March, 1818.

Since the fall of Poorunder (45) the forts of
Chundun, Woms's, Naughurry, , IVyruiglitst.
Kiit 1111 l ulghur, Pandonghur, and lielingo
have surrendered to Ueneral Pritzler, and to u de-
tachment whirls he sent through the volley sir
Ware; most of those forts are strong, and Kelini;ii
could scarcely kw taken if resolutely defended ; but
none of them id-feted resistance except Pandosightit
and Kellogg, which were evacuated by the garrisons
after tiring a few guns at our troops. This divi-
sion is MOW on its march to ‘Vuissusita, which,is
about 15 miles from this place. The rued lies °vet
a difficult ghassi, beyond which is wild mountain.:
OUti and woody country. The Itilledar has returned
a letter I addressed to hint unopened, and a strong
detachment, without gnus, has snatched this morn-
mg to Surest his fort.
I lot heard from Ge. end Smith, at Digging on
the Doodna, 66 the st4th. The Peisliwa had past
the same place seven days before, and was supposed
to be at Bassum (47) moving towards Nagpoor. He
appears to have quitted Copergaum on the lOth;
while General Smith was between Sensor and
Ahmednisggni, and to have made a feint of moving
to the south by Blieer, before he struck off in au
opposite direction.

Extract from Division Morning Orders, dated Camp, near
Poorunder, of the 16th March, 1818, by Brigadier-timer:it
Pri tater.

In aunouncing to the reserve division the surrender of tl
forts of &issuer, Vizier Glint, and Poorunder, Brigadier-
General Pritzler ban to express his entire approbation of the
conduct of every °Biter sod soldier who was employed, and
feels particularly indebted to Lientenant-Colunel Dalryinph.,
commanding the artillery, and Captain Nutt, the command-
ing Engineer, for their professional assistance.
Although the resistance of the army was not so cpbstioat.
as at Stamboul, the fort of Poorunder is equally strung, and its
early surrender is to be attributed to the spirit aoh which
the several positions attacked were carried, and the cal 4 awl
well-directed fire which was opened against the
points of the works.
'the British flag will be hoisted on the fort of Poorundel,
at twelve o'clock, ander a royal salute from the pail, situ
ao extra dram will be issued to the Europeans.
