the range of the enemy's batteries, the infantry deployed
into line, and Brigadier White formed his cavalry in front
of that village, with its left back and parallel to a gentle
rising of the ground, on which was posted the enemy's
right, cen.isting of a large body of Affghans and Goor-
churra horse. From this position a fire of round shot was
opened, and the enemy's cavalry extended to the right so as
to threaten to turn our left flank. To oppose the enemy's
guns, I ordered Captain Duncan to move his troop of
horse artillery to the front, which he did in good style,
and opened his fire within 500 or 600 yards. This move-
ment was followed by the advance of Captain Huish's
troop, and both did considerable execution upon the enemy,
but did not prevent the attempt of the Affghans to out-
flank our left. The Sinde horse were on the left of my
line, and I ordered them to advance, with a squadron of
the 9th Lancers under Captain Campbell, a part of the
former to be in reserve, and supported by a squadron of
the 9th Lancers, under Major Grant, C. 8., in echellon on
the right. These troops made a most brilliant charge
upon the enemy; at the same time I advanced the guns and
cavalry towards the enemy's line. The fire of the guns soon
put the Goorchurras in retreat, and the glorious charge of the
troops on the left caused their whole force to seek safety in
retreat by the Burradurree. A gun was captured during these
proceedings, but as we were then ,considerably in advance of
the left of the infantry, although Captain Duncan was ena-
bled to enfilade a battery opposed to them, and ignorant of
the force the enemy might have between the Burradurree and
the town, a space covered with trees, it became necessary to
proceed with caution; yet I was soon enabled to open a fire
upon the enemy, both on the right and left of the former
place, which caused them considerable loss, and hastened
their retreat.
I may here observe that all tke enemy's tents were left
standing near the Burradurree, and on the Seikh right of the
town, with probably much baggage in them, all of which
were probably plundered by the camp followers.
The enemy being now in full retreat, I moved Brigadier
White's brigade well to the left front, and soon forced the
enemy from the Jhelum road, and eventually from that of
Beembur also, cutting off large bodies of the enemy, much
baggage and many guns, which were secured by this brigade
as well as the troops of the 2d and 4th brigades, which had
been ordered to join in the pursuit. At twenty minutes
past four, a.m., none of the enemy being in sight, and
being, as was said by the villagers, nine or ten miles from
Goojrat, I discontinued the pursuit and -returned to camp at
this place. In this pursuit Captain Duncan and Huish's
troops of artillery, latterly joined by Major Leeson and
Major Blood's troop, of the same arm, brought their guns
to bear upon the enemy with good effect on several occasions
and their advance was as rapid as the intersected nature
of the ground by nullas would admit, and the 9th Lancers
and Bth Light Cavalry made gallant attempts to close with
the enemy's cavalry, which, however, were frustrated by
the rapid retreat of the latter; yet a great number of the
enemy were slain by the brigade in pursuit. I witnessed
the activity of Captain Unett and part of his squadron of the
3d Light Dragoons, and Brigadier White mentions that the
whole of that regiment was actively engaged in this work of
retribution.

Being an eye-witness to all the movements of the Ist
Brigade, I have great satisfaction in stating that Brigadier
White conducted them very much to my satisfaction. lam
also well satisfied with the manner in which Lieutenant-
Colonel Fullerton, Majors Yerbury and Mackenzie, com-
manded their respective regiments, and in which Major
Grant supported the charge of the Cavalry on the left. The
charge of the Sinde Horse reflects the highest credit on Cap-
tain Alaleolm ; and I have great pleasure in having witnessed
the gallant bearing of all the officers and men of this brigade
during the operations of the day, and I feel sure that their
only regret was that the enemy's cavalry so often declined
the attack.

To Captains Duncan and Huish, and Majors Leeson and
Blood, I am much indebted for the manner in which they
brought their guns into action whenever an opportunity oc-
curred, and the steadiness and good conduct of both officers
and men were very conspicuous.
I have now the pleasing duty to state I have received
every assistance and support from my Deputy-Assistant
Adjutant-General, Captain Pratt, on the present occasion, as
well as during the campaign. To my Deputy-Assistant
Quartermaster-General, Lieutenant Tucker, I am greatly in-
debted for his seal, activity, intelligence, and successful en-
deavours to procure intelligence of the movements of the
enemy during the operations; he, as well as my aide-de-
camp, Lieutenant Thackwell, Lieutenant Young, of the En-
gineers, Lieutenant Carter, of the Pioneers, and Cornet
Beatson, of the 6th Light Cavalry, accompanied me during
the battle, and afforded me essential service in carrying my
orders on various occasions during the operations of the day.
Brigadier White states how greatly he was satisfied with
the conduct of Brigade-Major Captain Cautley and the whole
of the officers and men of his brigade.
As the operations of the 2d and 4th brigades of cavalry,
did not come under my observation, except towards the lat-
ter end of the pursuit, I have the honour to forward Briga-
dier Lockwood's report, and it would appear therefrom that
he conducted his brigade judiciously ; and I am gratified to
learn that both officers and men behaved greatly to his satis-
faction, and that the 14th Light Dragoons and Ist Light
Cavalry conducted themselves gallantly, and evinced every
anxiety to close with the enemy. lam happy to observe
that the Brigadier has mentioned with great approbation
the conduct of Lieutenant-Colonels Bradford and King, in
command of their regiments, and I cannot avoid here stating
for the information of his Lordship, that I observed with
much satisfaction the zeal and judgment evinced by both
officers, when in command of considerable bodies of ca-
valry detached from the camp at Chillianwallah on impor-
tant duties.
I regret that I have not yet received any report from Bri-
gadier Hearsey, or return of casualties from his brigade or
the Sinde Horse. These will be forwarded when they arrive.

TO THE DEPUTY-ASSISTANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL GAYALRY
DIVISION ARMY OF THE PUNJAUB.
Camp, Goojrat, Feb. 22, 1849.
Sir,—l have dee honour to report, for the information of
Major-General Sir Joseph Thackwell, commanding the S.-
valry division, that on the morning of the 21st I formed my
brigade, as directed by his Excellency the Cummander-in-
Chief, on the right rear of the Ist division of infantry, and
tiara lel to Brigadier Markham's reserve, advancing in this
order until the enemy opened their fire.
I then deployed the brigade m the following manner:—
In the first line five troops of her Majesty's 14th Light Dra-
goons, two squadrons Ist Light Cavalry, with the Ist troop
3d brigade Horse Artillery on the left, escorted by a troop of
the 14th, and a relsala of the 11th Irregular Cavalry. In
support the remainder of the 11th Irregular Cavalry, and in
reserve one squadron of the 14th, and one squadron of the
Ist Light Cavalry,
In the commencement of the action, I directed Captain
Warner to open his fire upon a large body of the enemy near
a village in our front ; but as they returned a heavy fire
within accurate range, I changed position left back, and the
Horse Artillery ceased firing.

The enemy's horsemen n-ow appeared in great force upon
our right, threatening to turn our flank, so I changed front
to the right, directing the reserve to retain its front, and
communicate with the infantry.
Captain Warner's guns opened with great effect upon the
horsemen, and turned them, but they only retired a short
distance, and then a regiment of their regular cavalry moved
round by a circuitous route, and got completely into our rear.
I immediately detached towards them three guns, with a
Fquadron of the 14th, who, in conjunction with Major
Christie's corps of Irregular Cavalry, drove them off.
About this time a large gole of horse came on towards me,
and I prepared to charge, but as they turned at once from
the fire of the guns, and as there was a nnlla in our front,
I refrained from advancing after them. The reserve also
now advanced, in support of Colonel Hervey's brigade of
infantry.
I then received orders from the Commander-in-Chief to
bring on the brigade, which I did, and followed in pursuit of
parallel to the cavalry under
myself
placed myself in communication
with him.
In the pursuit the 14th Dragoons and Ist Light Cavalry
cut down or shot a considerable number of the Seikh in-
fantry, theth e 3 enemy,l
Major-General, Ge untilner found

G 1 thatlh d the greatest

I beg to state to
steadiness of the troops satisfaction in witnessing the
com-
posing the brigade, in performing several manoeuvres under
a heavy fire of artillery.
Hy best thanks are due to Capta • in Warner's horse artil-
lery, for the able and efficient manner in which he employed
his guns; also to Lieutenant-Colonel Bradford, commanding
the Ist Light Cavalry; Lieutenant-Colonel King, 14th Light
Dragoon; Captain Master, 11th Irregular Cavalry; and
Lieutenant Roberts, 14th Irregular Cavalry ; and Lieutenant
Colonel Doherty, who commanded the reserve.
I am also under the greatest obligations to my Brigade-
Major, Captain Yule, 9th Lancers, for the a,sistance he ren-
dered me, not only during the action, but during the period
I have commanded the 2d brigade.--I have,

TO CAPTAIN PRATT, ASSISTANT-ADJUTANT GENERAL
CAVALRT DIVISION.

Sir,—l have the honour to report to Sir Joseph Thack-
well, K.C.8., and Rll. commanding the Cavalry Division of
the army of the Punjanb, for the information of his Lxcel-
-(3:Yipnear Koree, Feb, 23, 1849.
Excel-
lency the Right Honourable the Commander-in-Chief, agree-
ably to instructions received from Captain Pratt, Assistant-
Adjutant-General Cavalry Division,
I joined at about 8 30.
A.m. of the morning of the 21st inst. the brigade of cavalry
on the right, under Brigadier Lockwood, with the 3d and 9th
Irregular Cavalry, and
as senior cavalry officer in the field
on that flank, I assumed command of the whole of that arm
as detailed in the margin I. and a trop of horse artillery
,
ander Captain Warner. Soon aft* the action commPneed
by a heavysannonade, and the heavy bodies of horse amongst
them, apparently a regular regiment, showed in our front.
The cavalry under my command advanced towards them,
and the troop of horse artillery was sent to the front with
its support (a squadron of her Majesty's 14th Dragoons and
squadron ,of Irregular Horse), and opened a well-directed
fire of round and shrapnell, which made the enemy fall back
to a respectable distance. On this very numerous bodies of
horse went off to our right, apparently with the intention of
turning that flank. I manoeuvred to the right with the
Irregular brigade, and kept them in check. About this time
I received orders from his Excellency the Commander-in-
Chief not to separated the left of the cavalry too far from the
column of infantry advancing in that direction. I was
therefore necessitated to close to the left, which I did witk
Brigadier Logkwood's brigade. At the same time, as they
again pressed on my right, I ordered three guns to support
it, the fire from which made the enemy again draw off. I
now observed it was there determinatie a to turn the right,
and as I had been joined by Colonel Doherty with two squa-
drons, I placed him to fill the gap on my left, and ordered
Brigadier Lockwood's brigade and three guns to join the Ir-
regulars on that flank. This checked the enemy, but a very
large body now advanced on the space on our left. I imme-
diately opposed it with the Irregular brigade and Brigadier
Lockwood's, with half a battery, and the enemy was again
foiled ; but they perceiving I had only the artillery supports,
and ressala of horse under the command of Lieutenant
Roberts, on my extreme right, made a last effort to turn it.
This was promptly met by the 3d and 9th Irregulars being
sent in that direction, the 9th advancing to meet them with

t Brigadier Lockwood's Brigade, her Majesty's 14th Dra-
geonii, Ist Light Cavalry, Captain Warner's troop Horse
Artillery, Captain Fordyce's at the end of the action, Irre-
gular Brigade, 3d Irregular Cavalry, -9th ditto, 11th ditto,
lith kit *Mom

the half battery; thus foiled, they returned to our left, Ma-
jor Christie following their movement. This was their last
attempt. A troop of horse artillery, with supports of squa-
dron of 91h Irregulars commanded by Lieutenant and Adju-
tant Tytler, pushed to the front, and got under the fire of
their artillery, when several men and horses suffered from
round shot. It was now apparent, from the distance of the
sound of our guns, that the enemy were in retreat, and Major
Mackeson informed me it was his Excellency the Commander-
in-Chief's wish that all the cavalry should pursue and prevent
the enemy carrying off their guns. I immediately directed
Brigadier Lockwood's brigade to take a sweep to the right,
and pushed on myself with the 3d Irregulars and Lieutenant
Robarts's ressala, with Captain IV arner's troop of Horse
Artillery, the 9th Irregulars, and 11th under Captain Mas-
ter, following, as soon as they could get clear of a deep and
quaggy nulla, and we perceived the enemy in full retreat
after a canter of four miles. The artillery opened the
masses of men, whilst the cavalry advanced on the flank,
and overtook them near the village of Runnewall, where
a great many of the Bunnoo troops were sabred and shot.
In this manner the pursuit continued, until a deep nulla
prevented the horse artillery getting on without delay.
Here I left them with two squadrons, and pushed on again,
overtaking another body and punishing them. I detached
Capt. Biddulph with hall' a ressala to ascertain the cause of
a heavy cloud of dust to our left. He reported it was Sir
J. Thackwell's division, and I soon after heard his battery
of Horse Artillery open. Both divisions of cavalry were now
closing on the enemy, and Captain Iliddulph was so for-
tunate as to capture five guns, and Major Christie another
that had been left in a nulla by the retreating foe. (Major
Christie informs me that this gun would have been left be-
hind, if he had not made great exertions in having it brought
into camp. He disclaims the capture of it.—J. B. H.) The
pursuit continued to the village of Sainthul, when I met and
reported to Sir J. Thackwell, and from whence we returned
to camp. The distance the cavalry under my command
went over in pursuit was 15 miles. We did not get to the
camp of the Irregulars near the Barradurree of Goojrat until
ten o'clock at night, and had thus been fifteen hours on
horseback.

I have every reason to be pleased with the conduct of all
the officers under my command. Some difference arose as
to carrying my orders into effect by Brigadier Lockwood, in
consequence of his receiving directions from supreme au-
thority, of which I was not at the time aware, but I found
him most zealous and desirous of having an opportunity to
charge the enemy at the head of her Majesty's 14th
Dra4oons. The conduct of that regiment throughout the
day was most exemplary and steady, and I have not the
least doubt, had an opportunity occurred, it would have
been most eagerly seized, to the utter destruction of any body
opposed to it. Brigadier Lockwood's report will bear testi-
mony to the energy of officers commanding regiments in his
brigade, as I do most assuredly of the Irregular Cavalry.
My thanks are due to Major Tait, C. 8., commanding 3d Ir-
regulars, Major Christie, commanding 9th Irregulars, Captain
Master, commanding 14th Irregulars, and Lieutenant Ro-
berts, commanding a ressala of the 14th Irregulars. The
conduct of the Horse Artillery was beyond all praise, and I
feel much indebted to Captain Warner, his officers and
men, for the able manner in which that noble arm was
employed.
I feel myself much indebted also to Lieut. Neville Cham-
berlain, brigade major, 4th Brigade Irregular Cavalry, for
assistance in the field during the forenoon, which I cannot
too much appreciate, and for the example he set in several
hand to hand affairs with a furious and exasperated enemy
during the pursuit. Lieut. Crawford Chamberlain, second
in command 9th Irregular Horse, although still suffering from
his wound, was present with the regiment the whole day,
thus showing his usual energy.

Lieutenant and Adjutant Tytler, 9th Irregulars, also
brought to my notice the steadiness of a squadron of that
regiment, when under severe artillery fire, by which one
suwar was killed, and several men and horses wounded.
I shall forward a list of casualties as soon as I can get
them from the different officers in command of regiments and
parties, but from the constant marching we have had since
the battle of Goojrat, and the inclement whether we are now
enduring, I have not as yet been able to get them.--I have
the honour, &c., (Signed)
J. B. HEARSAY, Bragadier 4th Brigade,
Commanding Cavalry on the right flank of the Army.
P.S.—I have just got the return of the casualties of the
3d and eth Irregular Cavalry, which I have the honour to
enclose.

TO THE ADJUTANT-GENERAL OF THE ARMY.
Head-quarters, Camp Goojrat, Feb. 22, 1849.
Sir,—l have the honour to report for the information of
the Right Hon. the Commander-in. Chief, that the Ist Infan-
try division, with Horse Artillery attached (as detailed per
margin from right to left) marched out about half-past
seven A.m. yesterday, the Ist Brigade commanded by Bri-
gadier iHervey, in quarter distant columns of regiment,
right in front, at deploying distance, with a troop of Na-
tive Horse Artillery on either flank drawn up in correspond..
ing order.

The 2d Brigade in reserve, commanded by Brigadier Mark-
ham, and 300 to 400 yards in rear, proceeded hi contiguous
quarter distance columns.

After advancing about two miles more, the enemy opened
their fire, and after the army had made some further pro-
gress, both brigades, agreeably to his Lordship's orders (and
taken up from the left), deployed, the Horst Artillery con-
forming thereto. Immediately afterwards the troops of
Horse Artillery and Skirmishers (of the Ist brigade) were
ordered to the front, the latter at 300 yards distance. I then
requested Brigadier Markham to take ground to the left, that
the interval made by the advance of Captain Anderson's four
guns might be covered by the 72d Native Infantry. Both
troops began a spirited cannonade, and continued it for
about three hours, at the rate of forty rounds per gun per
hour, until the enemy's guns in our front (like those, I be-
lieve, in front of every part of the line, through a similar
treatment), were silenced.
During the cannonade, on first receiving an order for the
further advance of both troops, I learnt from Major Garber,
who was in command of them, that the guns on our left front
had had so many horses killed and disabled, that they must
await the arrival of others from the rear, which I observed
were making quick progress, to their troops , and which
afterwards,
shortly I regret to say, lost its gallant captain,
who was mortally wounded by a cannon ball the duties
continued, however, to br efficiently prosecuted under the
superintendence of Lieutagnts Francis and Mecham, to the
former of a horn the command immediate:y devolved.
After this, both troops being well advanced to the front,
and the enemy making one or two threatening demonstra-
t ions, I thought it right to make a requisition on the cavalry
far a small detachment for their protection, which was
promptly complied with by Brigadier Lockwood.
On the advance of the line being directed, the right bri-
g* le found the enemy's infantry in great force iu its front,
with a strong body of cavalry ou their left, which rendered
it necessary for Brigadier Hervey to make a short flank move-
ment to the right, and throw back the 52d Native Infantry,
in order to counteract any attack the enemy might have in
contemplation. __ _

As this unavoidably caused a great gap in the line, I
thought it advisable to direct lirigat:ier Markham at once to
occupy it by his brigade, which was accordingly done, and
the arrat.ganent immediately reported to his Excellency.
The enemy were otherwise preparing to take advantage of
the opening, but on seeing the 2d brigade advancing to it,
halted, and gave a few rounds of grape and matchlock fire,
which was returned with full effect by the file firing from the
right divisions and Lieutenant Francis's guns, which latter
were being replenished with ammunition, and for the mo-
ment in the rear of the infantry. Lieutenant Need, aid-de-
camp, on noticing the enemy's cavalry and infantry immedi-
ately in front of the second brigade, had made known the
same to Lieutenants Francis and Mecham, who on his sug-
gestion instantly gallopped to the front through an interval
made for the purpose by her Majesty's 32d Regiment, and
with a few rounds of grape cooperated with the infantry
(who were advancing to charge), in sending back the enemy
in great confusion.

In the flank movement by the Ist brigade already alluded
to, and which under a heavy fire from the enemy of round,
grape, and matchlock, with the re-formation to Jine (in dis-
covering that the enemy did not make the anticipated attack)
was effected in the most steady and orderly manner
Captain Mackenzie, by his able and judicious co-operation,
made his troop particularly useful, and on the enemy's de-
clining to receive the charge of her Majesty's th, and the
Btb, and 52d Native Infantry, poured in such a continued
fire of shrapnel! and round upon their retiring masses as, with
what had occurred from the 2d brigade, effectually to prevent
any further threat or molestation to the division under my
command, and, as far as I could observe, every part of the
line had been equally successful in defeating the purposes of
the enemy, who long before noon must have discovered that
the entire loss of their guns, ammunition, camp, camp equi-
page, and cattle was inevitable.
On reaching Goojrat the 2d brigade, agreeably to his
Lordship's orders, commenced collecting the enemy's aban-
doned guns, nineteen of which were sent in by them forth-
with, and occupied the town with the following detail,
under Major Case, her Majesty's 32d Regiment (which
was afterwards reinforced by the 36th Regiment Native
Infantry):

Two companies of her Majesty's 32d Regiment, under Cap-
tain Pigott. _ _

Two companies of 51st Regiment Native Infantry, under
Lieutenant Wallace.

Possession of the eight gates was first taken, and then the
fort, where about eighty of the enemy laid down their arms,
and were made over as prisoners to the 36th Regiment
Native Infantry, with other small parties found in different
parts of the town, that, with few exceptions, made no resist-
ance. The above four companies captured a gun, standard
and some horses, with the loss of one man killed of her Ma-
jesty's 32d, and an officer of the same corps wounded, Lieu-
tenant Jeffery. The Ist brigade, on halting here, detached
a sub-division of her Majesty's 10th Regiment, and the Gre-
nadier company of the 52d Native Infantry, to expel a party
of 200 of the enemy, in occupation of the temple and garden
in rearof which the Bth Regiment Native Infantry is new
encamped, which was effected with trifling loss on our side,
but the enemy had thirty or forty killed and wounded, and a
great number taken prisoners.
It is particularly satisfactory to me to bring to the favour-
able notice of the Right Honourable the Commander-in-Chief
the conduct of the division under my command during the
services of yesterday, performed under his Lordship's order
and direction, and consisting of, in fact, the horse artillery and
infantry of the (Bengal) Moultan field force, with the excep-
tion 49th Regiment, Native Infantry, on detached duty.
Brigadiers Hervey and Markham conducted their brigades
under the various circumstances of the day (some of which I
have briefly specified) in a manner that merits the strongest
commendation, and they were, as heretofore, admirably sup-
ported by the officers in command of regiments, viz.:—
Lieut.-Colonel Franks, C. 8., her Majesty's 10th Regt.
Ditto Brooke, do. 32d do.
Major Farquharson, Bth Regt. Native Infantry, and on hit
being severely wounded, Brevet Major Williams.
Brevet Major Griffin, 51st Regiment Native Infantry.
Captain Jamieson, 52d do. do. do.
Do. Lloyd, 72d do. do. do.
I cordially unite with both Brigadiers in the expression of
thanks to the above officers for the intelligence and zeal
with which they carried out their orders, and to all the
officers and men under their command for the steadiness
and prompt obedience so uniformly evinced throughout the
division.
Brigadier Hervey acknowledges the services of his brigade-
major, Captain Wiggins, in high terms of commendation;
and the active assistance he received throughout the day
from Lieut. B. Reid (34th Regiment Native Infantry), in-
terpreter to her Majesty's 10th Regiment; as does Brigadier
Markham those of his brigade-major, Captain Balfour, her
Majesty's 32d Regiment (who has happily recovered from
the wound he received in the action of the 12th September
last), and of Ensign Fraser, 23d Regiment, appointed acting
interpreter of the 49th Regiment. Native Infantry, who is
awaiting the arrival of his regiment from Moultan, and who
gladly made his services useful to the Brigadier.
To Major Garbett, commanding the horse artillery at-
tached to my division, my best acknowledgments are due
for his unremitting attention to both troops under his com-
mand, and particularly in matters the officers commanding
them were not so able of themselves to give directions

* 4th troop Ist Brigade H.A. (Captain BPKenzie). Ist

I about. He mentions in the highest terms (as does Briga-
-1 dier Hervey) Captain Mackenzie and his troop, and notices
that, alter the lamented death of Captain J. Anderson,
the four guns of his troop were well commanded by Lieute-
nant Francis ; and I heartily concur in the testimony he
bears to the admirable conduct of the officers and men
of both troops, who worked their guns with a rapidity
and precision that would have been impracticable, except
from their uniform coolness and steadiness under a heavy
fire from the enemy at both positions, first at 1,000 yards,
and secondly at 500 yards. Major Garbett also notices in
most favourable terms the able assistance rendered him by
Lieutenant De Teissier, acting adjutant Ist Brigade Horse
Artillery.
Lieutenant M'Mullin and his company of pioneers deserve
much credit, having continued with the 4th troop Ist
Brigade Horse Artillery, and rendered useful service when-
ever called upon.
Having but recently had my attention drawn to the cir-
cumstances I am about to mention, I think, in justice to the
gallant officer affected by them, I may be permitted so to
do., though they refer to anterior conflicts with the enemy.
On the 12th September last, after Lieutenant-Colonel Pat-
toun was mortally wounded, the command of the six com-
panies her Majesty's 321 Regiment devolved on Major Inglis,
and through the exertions of the gallant troops employed,
the enemy's strong position was carried; and a similar result
occurred on the 7th of November last, when, from Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Brooke having the command of one of the
two columns of attack, that of her Majesty's 32d Regiment
again devolved on Major Inglis, whose conduct in that im-
portant trust was highly satisfactory to the Brigadier com-
manding, and I have, accordingly, great satisfaction in so-
liciting the favourable notice of his Excellency to the same.
Major Napier, attended by Lieutenant Greathed, of the
engineers, who was attached for the day to the two divisions
on the right, aided me much by occasionally reconnoitring
positions we were approaching; and in giving me the ad-
vantage of his reconnoissance of the preceding day. Cap-
tain Glasfurd and Lieutenant R. B. Smith, of the Engineers,
having been directed to join me, were extremely useful
during the day; and I feel much indebted to both, as also
to Captain Cheepe, 51st Native Infantry, late treasurer to
the Moultan field force, who attended me throughout: and
for whom it was not difficult to find frequent and active
employment.
Major Becher, Assistant-Quartermaster-General, and
Captain Whish, Deputy-Assistant-Aut ant-General of the
division, as also my aides-de-camp, Captain J. C. Kennedy,
her Majesty's 18th Foot, and Lieutenant A. Meed, her
Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons, afforded me every assist-
ance, and are entitled to my best thanks for their attention
and zeal. The horse of the Deputy-Assistant• General, from
which he had just dismounted, having on the commence-
ment of our cannonade been severely wounded by a cannon
shot, it was some time before another could join from the
rear, and intermediately a camel served him as a tolerable
substitute.
I beg respectfully, in conclusion, to offer to the Right Hon.
the Commander-in-Chief my hearty congratulations on the
complete success of his Lordship's arrangements for the day,
and on an issue which, under Divine Providence, has been
permitted to be most triumphant.—l have, &c.,
(Signed) W. S. WHISH, Major-General,
Commanding Ist Infantry Division, Army of the Punjaub.
Camp Norungabad, Feb. 24, 1849.
Sir,—l have to apologise for the delay which has taken
place in complying with general orders of the 21st instant,
directing reports of the proceedings of the troops employe
against the enemy to be forwarded for the information of his
Excellency the Right Honourable the Commander- in-Chief;
but having been, as you are aware, constantly on the move
since the morning after the action near Goojrat, in pursuit of
the fugitive Seikti army, I have not had an opportunity of
doing so.
I have now to report, for the information of his Lordship,
that the 2d Infantry Division, consisting of the troops men-
tioned in the margin,* advanced from Shadawalla, on the
morning of the 21st inst., in line of quarter distance columns,
at deploying distance, leaving a battery of heavy guns, under
Major Horsford, of artillery, between the two brigades—
No. 17 Light Field Battery, under command of Captain
Dawes, and Bt. Major Fordyce's troop of horse artillery, be-
tween the right regiments of the left, and right brigades re-
spectively.
Having received orders to push forward my right troops
to force the enemy to show their position, I immediately ad-
vanced the troops of horse artillery, and Dawes's light field
battery, which instantly drew a very heavy and well-directed
fire from two large batteries, which the enemy had established
on either side of the village of Kaierab, by which they were
nearly screened from the fire of our guns, which, with the
light companies, were then still further pushed forward, fol-
lowed by the division, which had deployed into line, the
heavy guns in our centre at this time opening a very de-
structive cannonade. Up to this time the village above
named seemed to be unoccupied, and I directed a party of
infantry to take possession of it. Upon the approach of this
party, a tremendous fire of musketry was opened from the
walls, which were loopholed in every direction. The 2d
European Regiment was then ordered up in support, under
the command of Major Steel, and soon carried it, after a
most obstinate resistance, in which that gallant regiment
suffered rather severely, as well as upon its emerging from the
village. Soon after which the enemy left many of their guns
and fled in-the greatest confusion.
It affords me the highest gratification to record the
valuable services of Brigadier A. S. H. Mountain, C. 8., and
of Brigadier N. Penny, C. 8., who led the 2d European
Regiment to the attack of the village in the most gallant
and exemplary manner. I should wish particularly to men-
tion the very great assistance I received from Major Hors-
ford, commanding the heavy battery, and Major Fordyce,
commanding the 2d troop 2d brigade, H. A., and Captain
Dawes, commanding No. l 7 light field battery: it is impos-
sible to praise too highly their conduct, and that of all those
under their command.

I beg likewise to bring to his Excellency's notice the
valuable assistance I received from my divisional and per-
sonal staff :—Brevet-Captain J. A. D. Fergusson, deputy-
assistant-adjutant-general; Lieutenant A. S. Galloway,
deputy-assistant-quarterma.ster. general ; Lieutenant Colt,
aide-de-camp ; Captain Sherwill and Lieutenant M'Donnell,
majors of brigade; and Captain Goldie and Lieut. Irwin of
the Engineers.
Captain W. P. Robbins, 15th Native Infantry, who acted
as my aide-de-camp during the action, afforded me great and
active assistance, as did also Lieutenant H. B. Hopper, 31st
Native Infantry (orderly officer).
My warmest thanks are due to Lieutenant-Colonel Con-
greve, C. 8., her Majesty's 29th Foot; Lieutenant-Colonel
Jack, 30th Native Infantry; and Lieutenant-Colonel Holmes,
.',6th Native Infantry; and to Majors J. Steel, 2d European
Regiment; W. R. Corfield, 31st Native Infantry; and J. R.
M'Causland, 70th Native Infantry (severely wounded in the
attack on the village of Kalerah), for the exemplary manner
in which they led their regirpents. I trust I may be per-
mitted to bring to his Excellency's notice the name of Brevet
Captain G. Gordon 50th Native Infantry, officiating as Sub•
Assistant Commissary-General, who, at my request, destroyed
the enemy's camp equipage and loose ammunition.

The conduct of all the troops under my command, Eu-
ropean and native, under a terrific and well-directed can-
nonade, Vitas such as to call forth my highest commendation.
In conclusion, I regret that in consequence of our being
so constantly on the move, since the action, I am unable to
forward herein the returns of casualties, but I shall do myself
the honour to transmit them with the least possible delay.
I have, &c.,
(Signed) W. R. GILBERT. Major• General,
Commanding 2d Infantry Division, Army of the Punjaub.
P.S. In the absence of the regular return, I may here add
that the loss is very trifling, considering the heavy fire kept
up by the enemy's artillery on the centre of the division,
where the heavy guns were—the 2d European Regiment
having only lost 8 men killed, and 135 wounded ; the 31st
Native Infantry 11 men killed, and 131 wounded; and 70th
Native Infantry 10 killed, 40 wounded.
In the 4th brigade, her Majesty's 29th Regiment lost only
two men, and six wounded; the 30th Native Infantry, three
men wounded; and the 56th Native Infantry, only one man
wounded.

TO LIEUT.-COLONEL GRANT, C. 8,, ADJUTANT-GENZRAL OF

THE ARMY.

• Camp, Dowlutnuggur, Feb. 23, 1849.
Sir—l have the honour to report to you, for the informa-
tion of the Right Hon. the Commander-in-Chief, that in
obedience to the orders I received from his Lordship at day-
light of the 21st instant, I formed the brigades of the 3d
division, commanded by Brigadiers Carnegie and APLeod,
with the light field batteries attached to them, close to the
left bank of the nulla which passes in front of village of
Shadewal, a little before 7, A.M. The brigade, under
Brigadier Hoegan, was formed at the same time in rear, to
act as reserve to the whole force intended to be employed on
that side of the nulla.

In the advance to the attack of the enemy's position his
Lordship desired me to keep close to the left side of the nulls,
and to preserve my communication with the heavy guns,
which were placed on the opposite bank.
His Lordship further directed me to approach, but not to
pass, that part of the nulla behind which the right of the
enemy's army was formed, without further instructions from
him.

With a view to the effectual fulfilment of his Lordship's
wishes, to maintain close communication with the heavy
guns on my right, and to prevent their molestation by the
enemy from the nulla, I directed the Light Company of her
Majesty's 24th to occupy and move along the nulla, in ad-
vance of the heavy guns; and, to render the communication
more secure, I supported the company with two guns from
No. 10 light field battery, which moved close along the bank
of the nulla.

The two brigades were formed in the first instance in con-
tiguous columns of regiments (the brigades at full distance)
covered by a strong line of skirmishers, and these imme-
diately supported by No. 5 and 10 light field batteries attached
to them respectively. These skirmishers communicated on
the left with those covering the front of the division, which
were likewise supported by the troop of Horse Artillery be.
longing to that force. The whole line moved forward at a
quarter before eight A.M , in this order, with the regularity
of troops at a review. The country we passed over in our
advance was perfectly level, highly cultivated, and without
an obstruction, being merely dotted here and there with an
occasional tree.

At half-past nine, the skirmishers having arrived within
long range of the enemy's guns, the columns were deployed
into line, when we again moved forward. At this time the
right 1, ing of the enemy's army was plainly to be seen,

in the
csee
light field batteries, they had two very heavy guns, and
several six and nine-pounder field guns, which then opened
fire; that from the former in the first instance caused some
loss in the batteries : and here it wag, I regret to say, that
Lieutenant Day, of the Artillery, a very brave and most pro-
mising young officer, was killed by a cannon ball.
The line moved onward to the- front, keeping in commu-
nication with, and as much as possible in the elignement of
the heavy guns, while the field batteries kept up so destruc-
tive a fire upon the enemy in their front in position benind
the nulls, that they finally obliged the whole force to
abandon it, and take shelter under cover of the bank of the
nulls, and from which they were afterwards driven in con-
fusion and flight by an enfilading fire from the same field
batteries.
About three-quarters of an hour before the enemy had been
finally driven in flight from the nulla and from the field a
great effort was made by many, apparently, of the principal
chiefs to bring forward a large body of their cavalry,
which was followed in a tumultuous manner by the infantry
which had taken shelter in the nulla to attack the centre of
the Bombay division. This attack was taken in lank by
No. 5 field battery, and caused great loss to the enemy, both
in his short advance and subsequent retreat.
The infantry of the 3d division had not occasion to fire a
shot; the enemy were driven from their different positions
and from the field by the fire of these two field batteries,
aided by that of the Bombay troop of Horse Artillery.
I cannot find language to express my sense of the calm,
steady, and admirable manner in which two batteries were
commanded and worked by Major Mowatt, the commanding
officer, and by Major Ludlow and Lieutenant Robertson, the
former commanding No. 5, the latter No. 10 battery; nor
am I able adequately to express my admiration of the bravery
and gallantry of the other officers of these batteries, arid of
their non-commissioned officers and men, all of whom I beg

• 3d Brigade-31st Regiment of Native Infantry; 2d Eu-
ropean Regiment; 70th Regiment of Native Infantry. 4th
Brigade-30th Re_giment of Native Infantry; her Majesty's
29thEtnt; 56th AegizvA PF NAtiyo Wavy.

to recommend in an especial manner to the favourable notice
of the Right Hon. the Commander-in-Chief.
After the troops had crossed the nulla I received bis
Lordship's orders to follow the right wing in their movement
towards the east side of Goojrat, while the Bembavy division
passed the town on the other side. After clearing the town
the division again resumed its communication with the Bom-
bay troops, and proceeded with them in advance, together
with the troops of the 2d division on our right, until ordered
to halt and encamp.
_

I beg leave to bring to the favourable notice of the Comte
mander- in-Chief the conduct of Brigadiers Carnegie and
APLeod, to whom I feel much indebted for the brave ex-
ample they set their men, and for the officerlike manner in
which they managed their respective brigades during the day.
Brigadier Hoggan, commanding the reserve, was under the
immediate orders of Brigadier-General Dundas on the left.
The two former brigadiers speak in strong terms of the
merits and services during the der of their respective bri-
gade-majors, Captain Clarke, of the 25th Native Infantry,
and Captain Keiller, of the th Native Infantry; and I can
confirm their opinion of the zeal, activity, and value of these
officers' services from my own personal observation.
I beg also to recommend to the favourable notice of the •
Commander-in-Chief the conduct of the several officers com-
manding regiments, who all set an example of the greatest
gallantry to their respective corps—viz., Lieutenant-Colonel
Smith, her Majesty's 24th Regiment, Lieutenant-Colonel
Corbett, 25th Native Infantry, Lieutenant-Colonel Jones, her
Majesty's 61st, Major Tudor, 46th Native Infantry, and Captain Lang, 36th Nativ© Infantry. They are all truly de- Y.`.'
serving his Lordship's favourable notice and approbation.
Lieutenant- Colonel Jones, of her Majesty's 61st, speaks in
terms of praise of the assistance he received from the two
majors of that regiment, Major Campbell and Major Stephens;
and Lieutenant• Colonel Smith, of her Majesty's 24th Regi- •
ment, in a similar manner notices the conduct of Major .
Blackford, of that corps.
I received during the day the most cordial and valeable
assistance from Major I'onsonby, assistant-adjutant-general I
of the division, with whom I have found a real pleasure in
being associated on service, and to whom I owe great
obliga-
tion for the able and careful manner in which he conducts the
duties of his department.
I beg to recommend to the particular notice of his Lordship •
the Commander-in-Chief the conduct of Ensign Garden, de-
puty-assistant-quartermaster-general, to whom I am also
under many obligations for the zeal and ability with which he •
performs his various duties.

Captain Durand and Lieutenant Morton, of the Engineers.
were attached to the third division during the action, and ac-
companied me during the day. They rendered me valuable
assistance, and I owe to them, accordingly, my warmest ac-
knowledgments.
I cannot conclude this report without also bringing to the
notice of the Commander-in-Chief the willing and valuable
assistance afforded me by my aide-de-camp, Captain Haw
thorne, and also by a brother officer, Lieutenant Shadwelly
of her Majesty's 98th Regiment, who was present in the
action as a volunteer,

I beg herewith to enclose a return of the killed and
wounded, together with a present state of the troops ac-
tually engaged, and retarns of the quantity of ammunition•,.
expended... 4 have, &c.

Head-Quarters, Camp Saikerwalla, Feb. 22, 1849.
Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that, agreeably to
the orders I received, the Bombay Infantry Division was
formed on the left of the line. I advanced for some distance
in contiguous columns at quarter distance, the 60th Rifles,under Lieutenant. Colonel Bradshaw, and 3d troop Horse
Artillery, under Major Blood, being thrown in advance. The
division deployed into line, and gradually advanced as the
attack on the right developed itself. A party of the enemy's
horse made a demonstration of attacking the line, but spee-
dily moved off to their own right on receiving one or two
rounds from Major Blood's troop. A battery of the enemy,
which was in front of the Bengal Division, was also quickly
silenced by this troop, which made excellent practice. The
division kept gradually advancing without firing a shot, the
enemy moving off so fast that we could not reach him, the
artilley taking every advantage of opening its fire that w 1
afforoed. The infantry kept constantly advancing, passing
through the enemy's camp, which was left standing, and
round the town of Goojrat on the left, bringing up the left
shoulders. The ground at the first was studded with
bushes and hedges of prickly pear, which caused some
delay in getting through, and on reaching the open
country again not a sign of the enemy was to be seen.
Two guns were abandoned by him on this side of the toWn•
Not a casualty occurred in the infantry division, or in the
troop, with the exception of two horses. The troop after
wards accompanied Major-General Sir Joseph Thackwelre
division of cavalry in parsuit of the enemy; and it has been
reported to me by Brigadier Leeson, commanding Bombay
Artillery, that it rendered good service. The Sinde Horse,
under Lieut. Malcolm, having been attached for the day fie
Major-General Sir Joseph Thackwell's division, I had not al;
opportunity of witnessing a most successful and gallant
charge, which was made by that distinguished regimen
against a party of the enemy's horse, which was completal i
' overthrown with the loss of their standards, and the atteraP
to turn our left, which the enemy sowed a disposition to
try, altogether frustrated. This success was not gainel
without some loss, which amounted to three killed and
sixteen or seventeen wounded. The field battery under
Captain Turnbull was attached to the force protecting
the baggage, where the troop never came in contact
with the enemy, who moved off with the utmost rapidity;
There is little room for remark on their conduct, (Ayer
making a steady and regular advance, and for a long. crs"
tance, and observing a good order of formation. I had evert ,
reaion to be satisfied with the conduct of all ; and my thanks
are due to Brigadier Capon, commanding the Ist Intanttl
Brigade; to Lieutenant-Colonel Bradshaw, commanding 60tu',.

ing every assistance ; and Major Blood, in command of the
troop, is entitled to every credit for the efficient service the •
troop was enabled to perform. The steady and good order
in which the brigade of the Bengal army moved under Bri-
gadier Hoggan, which was the support of the Bombay divi-
sion, was very praiseworthy.
I am indebted to the officers of the divisional staff for the
active assistance they afforded me. Major Green, Assistant'

sistance he derived from Captain Stiles, Major of Brigade'
to Lieutenant Gordon, 60th Rifles, who officiated as Aide-de"
Camp. Lieutenant Stevenson, Brigade-Major of Artillerft
rendered every assistance in his department. The Sapri
and Miners, under Lieutenant Kendall, were kept prepare
for any duty that might hare been required in sloping dovla
unites for the guns, &c., but the ground was so favourable
for the movement of the troops that their exertions were not
required in this duty. My thanks are also due to Capt.3l°

report that the 3d, or alajor Blood's troop of Horse Artiltelt

this troop I proceeded, accompanied by Lieutenant lianailt°'"
and my staff.
__

After proceeding at a trot and gallop for about nine mile]
we joined the cavalry division, and soon joined,the enemy
rear, and at a distance of about four hundred yards opened
fire with manifest good effect; they were then attempting
to carry off three- guns, and a considerable body of cavalry
were hovering round to afford them protection; this they
were unable to effect, as our well-directed fire soon obliged
the enemy to abandon their guns, camels, carts, bullocks!
&c., and a great portion of their baggage, which fell into our
hands.
The enemy still continuing to retreat in a most disorderly
d
manner, we advanced at a gallop' for about three miles, and
again opened fire with such effect that they were compelled
to abandon another gun.
' We again advanced some distance further, and were
halted by order of the General commanding, who proceeded,
,
and at a quarter to five r.ar. we began to fall back toward'
camp, which we reached at half-past eight P.M.
