" Major Gereml Brown, according to tlic same letters, surprised
some of the refractory Chiefs of Holkar's anny, and a rabble of fel-
lows at ltaturcora, and cut them up. ltoshun Beg lost three of his
•liagers in the fray; but contrived to make his escape. Time hun-
dred of his folioswrs were sabred, and a number of camels and horses
taken. The sutpritc was complete, and so astonished were sitc fellows,
,that they did no: contrive to wound a single man of ours. It only
r.quains now that ire get hold oldie perfidious Peishwa. The power
of thc l'induriesseems almost annindated by one short and brilliant

pletely routed and dispersed portion of them under Cheetoo.

General Watson is now in command of this division ; his own

MA MIAS, Feet. 21.
The following details respecting the operations of our armies are
given in the Otlealbs
*• thy letters from Camp, since our last, confirm the account of the
total destruction of the only unbroken durrah of Pindaric% under
Cheerio, who at the date of the latest accounts was skulking with
only nine attendants, in the neighbourhood of dowliud 4 and as Cap.
tain Caulfield had set off in pursuit, sonic hope was entertained that
his person would be secured. The remains of the durralis under
Wussul Nlahuihed and Khurrcem, Khan have .aho after several in.
offectusil attempts to escape, been neatly annihilated by the divisions
under General Marshall and Colonel Adams; and the rebellious part
of Ilolkar's army have in all likelihood been diverged before this
time, as Colonel Adams had been ordered to march to Itampoor and
Attack Rodinsi troopi, who were ircitpying a strong position
in the neighbourhood of that place. This Chief's force is said to
• msi.t of seven battalions, sonic thousand horses, and sixteen guns;
it is expected they will make great re.istance. The only Mahiratta
force that remains unbroken, is that. Ameer Khiui s Sirdars,
who, like those of the Nui,mote Ukiah, do not appear disposed to
abide by the arrangements mule by their Chief; but as Sir David
Ocliterlony is said to have mardseil. to attack them, we may every
slay look tiir accounts of their defeat and submission ; and with these
we may almost consider the canmeign on this aide of India as at
an end."
" Camp, near Occhar, Jan. 18.
" An ()direr and party of' ours left the camp this morning. as an
escort to an otiker, said to be lirineing in the Treaty with Ilolkar,
who is to subsidize 3,n00 of our troops. which, it is reported, are to
b.: furnished by Bengal, and die number alibi own is very consider-
ably limited. His whole revenue is not to exceed t; hies of rupees.
No further accounts of the reishwa or Na ;spore INA. I have seen
various private letters regarding tire attack in the latter, all of which
epresent it to have been a lutist delimit. business on our part. A
General Order was.publislail yesterday, thanking Col. Matmorine,
and the traps under his command, for their gallant behaviourat
Nagpore, or rather Serinaghur. General Brown, by the bye, has
also been killing and slaying. He had heard that a body of :UHF
itittas, Mattes people, were seeking wet, in some village in his
way. S:vtral roads led front it. Ile ptisted.on each of these scatty
of the 3d cavOry, and made a dash himself with another party at
Cie village, and succeeded in cutting off the poat devils."
