GENHRAL ORDERS
BY THE CONMANDER,IN-CHIEV.

Head-Chiarters of the Army of the Detour
Camp at Talueir, 211th February, 1818.
Ilia Excellency, Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas
Hislop,_ Bart. Commander-in-Chief of the Army
of the Deccan, requests the Officers and troops en-
gaged yesterday upon the attack of 'Calorie, will
accept his thanks for their gallant and zealous ex-
ertions during the short but arduous contest.
The professional ability and experience of Mi:jor
Noble, G.B. counnanding the artillery, were highly
conspicuous in the judicious application of the
very limited meatus at his disposal for opening a
road with the fort.
The artillery was most ably served, and its ex-
ecution far surpassed what could have been expected
to be accomplished with light field-pieces.
The Commander-in-Chief requests that Major
Noble, C. 8., Captains Rudyard and M,lntosh,
and Brigade-Major Bonner, of the artillery, as well
as the whole of the Officers, non-commissioned
officers, and privates of that excellent corps, will
accept his best thanks and ucknawledgernents for
the valuable services they yesterday performed.
The Commander-in-Chief had on this arduous
occasion to deem himself most fortunate in experi-
encing the able, zealous, and valuable services of
his Aide-de-Camp, Lieutenant Elliott, of the Royal
Engineers, of which, in consequence of the wounds
he received early in the battle of the 21st Decem-
ber last, his Excellency had to lament the privation
during the remainder of the day.
_

The services also of Lieutenstit Anderson and
Ensign Turku', of engineers, were eminently con.
spicuons, and his Excellency regrets that the
wound which Lieutenant Anderson received should
deprive him, even fur a moment, of that Officer's
Services.

The want of sufficient means to carry on the
regular operations against the Inn of Tolneir,
obliged his Excellency the Commander-in-Cliief to
rest much on the well-known gallantry of his troops,
on which he had the fullest reason, from preSious
experience, to rely, and hi 9 expectations were us
usual most fully realised.
His Excellency regrets that this army and their
country in general should have to lament the loss
of such distinguished officers and valuable men as
Major Gordon and Captain, Macgregor, of his Ma-
jesty's Royal Scots, the former commanding the
storming party (which consisted of the Link coai-
ponies of his Majesty's Royal Scots, Under Captain
Ilulme, and the Media European regiment, under
Captain Maitland). and the latter commanding the
grenadiers of his Majesty's Royal Scots. Major
Gordon and Captain Macgregor fell gloriously at
the heed of the gallant storming party, almost at
the moment when their intrepidity and Courage had
achieved the object of attack.
To Major Knowfis, who, with the rifle corps. the
3d light infantry, and the picquets, supported the
attack. the Commander-in-Chief offers his cordial
acknowledgments for the zeal, decision, and intelli-
gence which distinguished that officer upon all oc-
casions; and his Excellency also requesti that Ma-
jor Snow, commanding the rifle corps, will receive
his high approbation of his own exemplary conduct,
and of the useful services of his corps.
The Commander-in-Chief also noticed, with high
satisfaction, the good conduct and discipline of the
Ist battalion 3cl regiment light infantry, under
Captain Agnew, and the picquets on duty under
Captain Cuffly, of the 6th light infantry.
The conduct of the pioneers daring the whole of
their arduous duties in the attack of yesterday was
such as to call forth the highest approbation of the
Commander-in-Chief, and his Excellency offers to
Captain M'Craith, commanding the pioneers, his
warmest acknowledgments for his own distinguished
and exemplary conduct, as well as to the whole of
the Officers, non-coininimioned officers, and privates
of his corps.
His Excellency anxiously trusts that he shall
not be long deprived or the taluable services of the
officers and men who were wounded in the attack,
and he assures that g Mont and distinguished officer
Lieutenant-Colonel Macgregor Murray, Deputy.
Adjutant-General of his Majesty's forces, and
Captain O'Brien, Assistant Adjutant-General, as
well us Lieutenant Anderson, of Engineers, Lieu-
tenant Macgregor. his Mejesty's Royal Scots. and
Ensign Chime's,. Ist battalion 2d regiment Native
Infantry, of his most wont solicitude for their
early recovery.
The conduct of Lieutenant-Colonel Conway.
Adjutant-General of the Army. and the increasing
and energetic display of that officer's personal
courage and able arrangements throughout the day,
were such as his Excellency well koew, from for-
mer experience, that he should derive the greatest
benefit from. Sir Thomas Hislop begs the Lien-
tenant-Colonel to accept of his warmest thanks for
the great aid he has on the present occasion received
from him.

The judicious and accurate reconnoissances made
by Lieut.• Colonel Blacker, Quarter-Master•Geoe-
ral of the army, and the ability and gallantry of
that officer in conducting the important arrange.
mesas of Ins department during the operations of
yesterday, were such alga as to entitle him to his
Excellency's wannest thanks and acknowledgments.
Sir Thomas Hullo') desires also to offer I►is best
flanks to Lieutenant-Colonel the Honourable L.
Stahope, who, with Lieutenant-Colonel Murray,
accompanied the flank companies of Isis Majesty's
Royal Scots in the storm, for his gallantly and
conduct on this occasion; and to Major Hugh
Scott, Military Secretary, and to every Officer of
the General, Personal, and Divisional Staff, his
Excellency tenders his warmest acknowledgments
for the display of she energy and promptitude for
which on this, as ou former occasions, they hate
been distinguished.
T. H. Cosiest, Adjutant-General
of the Army of the Deccan.
