INDIA BOARD, APRIL 18, 1849.

The dispatch, of which the following is an extract,
and the accompanying papers, have been thi, ctly re
A 1 ceiv, at the East Inia House, frOm the G overnor-
Gentral of Indio.

THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA TO THE SECRET

COMMITTEE OF THE EAST INDIA COMPANY.
(Extract.) Match 7, 1849.
Under Divine Providence, the British arms have
signally triumphed. On the 21st of February an
action was fought, which must ever be regarded as
one of the most memorable in the annals of
British warfare in India ; memorable alike from the
greatness of the occasion and from the brilliant
and decisive issue of the encounter. For the first time,
Seikh and Affghan were banded together against the
British power. It was an occasion which demanded the
putting forth of all the means at our disposal, and so
conspicuous a manifestation of the superiority of our
arms, as should appal each enemy, and dissolve, at
once, their compact, by fatal proof of its futility. The
completenets of the victory which has been won equals
the highest hopes entertained. The results are not yet
tully developed.
The enemy, estimated at 60,000 men, with 52 guns,
were posted near the town of Goojerat. His Excel:
lency the Commander-in-Chief opened his artillery upon
them, with tremendous effect, on the morning ,of the
21st of February. A sustained cannonade of three
hours compelled them to retire from the positions they
had maintained with resolute hardihood. The subse-
quent advance of the whole British line drove them back
at once from every point; and, retreat speedily be.
coming rout, they fled in the utmost disorder, " their
ranks broken" (the Commander-in•Cluief writes),
" their position carried, their guns, ammunition, camp
equipage, and baggage, captured; their flying masses
driven before the victorious pursuers, from midday to
dusk, receiving most severe punishment in their flight."
It will much enhance the gratification which the
intelli-
I gence of this great success must afford you, to hear
that it has been achieved with comparatively little loss,
and that amongst the 53 guns captured, we have reco-
vered those lost at Ramnuggur and Chillianwallah.
; In a general order, issued on the Ist of this
month, I gave public expression to the sense I
entertain of the devoted gallantry of the noble army
which has gained this victory.
i In the name, and on behalf of, the Government of
1 India, I offered to his Excellency Lord Gough, Com-
-1 manding in Chief, to the generals, the officers, noncom-
; missioned officers, and soldiers of the force, my grateful
acknowledgments of the service they have rendered to
1 their country. _ _ _

I took occasion to express the unbounded con-
I fidence I feel, and have ever felt, in this army, and
my conviction that they will meet, cheerfully and
! gallantly, as heretofore, whatever obstacles may
yet be opposed to them. I stated, further, that I would
earnestly commend their past services to the considera-
tion of her Majesty's Government, and of the East
India Company; and I now, accordingly, fulfil this
Ipromise.
On the morning after the battle of Goojerat,
General Major-
' 1 Sir W. Gilbert was detached with a force to
1 effect the passage of the Jhelum, and follow the enemy to.
wards Peshawur, in whisk direction the main body of them
that still held together had fled. Brigadier-General
Campbell advanced, at the same time, on the road to
1 Birnber, scouring the country all round in that quarter.
Ile returned, on the 25th, bringing in several guns which
I the enemy had abandoned in their flight.
Alsjor• General Gilbert experienced some difficulty in
crossing the Jhelum, in consequence of the enemy having
' reached the river before him, and burnt all the boats,
with the view of retarding his passage. The Bengal
division was over the river by the 2d iustaut, and sue-
I coeded in capturing, in the town of Jhelum, two brass
i mortars, with 9,000 rounds of ammunition. Oa the
15th, they were at the formidable pass of Bakrala, the
I Bombay division being two marches behind them. The
road to the next stage has been broken up by the enemy,
but, after repairing it, and reaching Dhuneeal, it is the
Mojel -General's intention to stay there till his ammuni-
I lion, heavy guns, and commissariat stores reach him.

The Right Honourable the Governor-General directs
the publication of the following letter from his Excellency
the Commander-in-Chief reporting the complete defeat
of the Seikh army, on the 21st instant. The detailed dis-
patches will be published hereafter.

THE COMMANDER • IN• CHIEF IN INDIA. TO THE GOVERNOR.

GENERAL OF INDIA.

Camp, in front of Goojerat, February 21st, 1849.
I have the honour to report to your Lordship that I
have, this day, obtained a victory of no common order,
either in its character, or, I trust, in its effects.
I was joined yesterday by Brigadier Markham's
Brigade, Brigadier-General Dundas having joined
late the preceding night. I moved on in the
afternoon of yesterday as soon as these troops
were refreshed, from Trikur to the village of Shadiwal,
and, at seven this morning, I moved to the attack,
which commenced at half-past eight o'clock; and, by
one.o'clock, I was in possession of the whole Seikh posi-
tion, with all of his camp equipage, baggage, magazines,
and, I hope, a large proportion of his guns; the exact
number I cannot, at present, state, front the great extent
of his position, and length of pursuit, as I followed up
the enemy, and from four to fire miles on the Bimber
road, and pushed on Sir Joseph Thack well with the ca-
valry. The rout has been most complete; the whole road
for twelve miles, is strewed with guns, ammunition wag-
gons, arms, and baggage.
My loss was comparatively small (I hope within
300 killed and wounded), when it is considered I had to
attack 60,000 Seikhs, in a very strong position, armed
with upwards of sixty guns. The loss of the enemy must
have been very severe.
The conduct of the whole army, in every arm, was
conspicuous for steadiness in movement, and gallantry in
action. The details I shall furnish hereafter.
BRIGADIER GENERAL J. TENNANT, COMMANDING THE
ARTILLERY DIVISION OF THE ARMY OF THE PUN-
JAUB, TO LIEUTENANT-COLONEL P. GRANT, C. 8.,
ADJUTANT-GENERAL OF THE ARMY.
Camp, Goojerat, February 22, 1849.
I have the honour to report, for the information of the
Commander-in-Chief, that the Bengal Artillery of the

Two 18-pouadess, two S-inch howitzers, Captain E.
Austin, who, being unable fron his wound to accompany
his own battery, No. 10, did duty with the heavy guns.

These batteries engaged in action, by those-attached
to the Ist and 2d divisions advancing within about 600
yards, and the heavy guns within 800 or 1,000 yards of
the enemy's artillery, on which they opened their fire
about 9 o'clock A M. Shortly after the action commenced
an opportunity was observed of enfilading one of the
enemy's batteries, when the reserve artillery,
under Lieutenant-Colonel F. Brind, was advanced, and
placed by Brigadier G. Brooke, C. 8., so as to do so.
The batteries of the 3d division engaged as they came
up, and those with the cavalry brigades supported their
movements, as opportunity offered. Nearly the whole
engagement being a cannonade, no movement of im-
portance took place among the batteries, which main-
tained the fire until half-past eleven ♦.am., when
many of the enemy's guns ware observed to be dis-
mounted, and their line broken, and an advance was or-
dered in pursuit.
I have the honour to state, for the Commander-
in• Chief's information, my perfect satisfaction with the
professional exertions of the officers, and my high ap-
probation of the steady conduct of both officers and men
daring the day.
To Brigadiers Brooke, C. 8., and Iluthwaite, C. 8., in
general direction of the horse and foot artillery respec-
tively, under my orders, Lieut.-Colonels C. Grant and
F. Brind, Majors R. Horsford, E. F. Day, and J. L•
Mowatt, all of whom held commands, as well as to all
the officers commanding troops and batteries above enu-
merated, I have to acknowledge my best thanks for their
exertions, by which these results were obtained. To
the Divisional Staff; Captain J. Abercrombie, Deputy
sijstaflt.AdjUtant. General, and Lieutenant 11.
Tomt s, Deputy-Assistant Quarter-Master-General,
and to Lieutenant 11. A. Olpherts, my Aide-de-
Camp, I am much indebted for their exertions, and also
to Captain C. Hogge, the Commissary, and Lieute-
nant P. Christie, Deputy-Commissary of Ordnance,
for their excellent arrangement of their department, as
well as for their assistance in the fiehi.

Brigadiers Brooke and Huthwaite mention their
itiajora of Brigade, Lieut. C. V. Cox and Lieut. E.
Kayo respectively, as having afforded them able assist-
aneQ. • I have great pleasure, finally, particularly to
bring to his Excellency's notice the zeal and attention
of•lr. Deputy Commissary Spencer during the day, and
bE,g to recommend that old and deserving warrant-officer
to his kind consideration.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Cholmondeley
have returned to Carlton-house-terrace, from Chohnon-

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday chisel
tamely, but without any change in prices. The sales
were t,timattd at 5,000 bales, and cotiprised about
4.500 American at 31-d. to 6d , 100 Bahia at 5d., 100
Egyptian at 63(1. to 70., 200 Surats at 34d. to 31d.,
and 40 Sea Islan:is Bd. to Is. per lb.—Railway Shares
cuntinued dull, at rather lower prices.
The sales of English grain in the markets which re-
gulate the duties were, last week, moderate, via., 71,689
quart,rs of wheat, 33,769 of Barley, and 14,788 of Oat,.
The six weeks average is 445. Bd. per quarter for
Wheat.

It may be observed, in connexion with this
matter of the grain market, and of free trade
generally, that the Protectionists are, by a side
wind seeking to restore a prestige favourable to
their views. Thus a return has been made to an order
of the House of Lords, intended to show how much the
national exeln quer might 'have been benefited had the
high duties ou grain been retained, setting asides in
tote, the privations that would have resulted to the
halt -fed consumer. However, we will turn to the
figures with the simple remark that, even under the c%
isting nominal duty, the benefit to the revenue is not
inconsiderable, and for the rest we must
leave our readers to judge for themselves.
During the period from March 2, 1848, to
Jan. 31, 1849, the quantity of grain and meal en'
tend for home consumption in the United Kingdom
was 6,086 530 quarters, but of this 226,891 quarters
came in free between March and July, 1848, and
the duty paid upon the remainder was 801,985 L
There remained in warehouse under bond in the United
Kingdom, on the 31st January, 1849, stated in quarters
of Grain, 1,503,725 quarters, and had it been all then
cleared, the duty would have amounted to 640,1921, be'
cause the charge on that day was 108, per quarter on
foreign Wheat, 3s. 541-d. per cwt. on Flour, 4s. on Oats, and
2s 6d. on Barley, and so with other articles in proportiOn.
Of course it was not so cleared, and the object of the pro-
tectionists in making the calculation is merely to excite
dissatisfaction or regret. Men who estimate rightly the
interests of the masses as opposed to that of the few, will
not be slow to draw' a conclusion the reverse of what it
is sought to promote.
The continuance of the Danish war acts very sle'
favourably upon business generally. In the City we
bear of nothing but general dullness arising from the
blockade among all parties connected With the Baltic
trade. Two vessels, the Malcom Brown, of Landoll,
and the Urgo, of Shields, with their outward carg°
on board, and which cleared on the sth instant for
Hamburgh, have returned and are now in the Thames,
having been prevented from entering the Elbe by the
Danish blockading squadron. The adverse position of
the Danes inspires still the hope of peace, because with'
out assistance from other powers, they must be worsted'
As to the mislaid dispatch it is said Lord Palmerston
can explain the mistake.
The reports by the various continental mails, of the
position of the stock markets abroad at the latest date,
notice no particular variation:at Amsterdam, the Two'
and-a Half per Cents. being 49g. Peruvian stock was
more offered. At Frankfort the Austrian Five pet
Cents were 761, and at Vienna 87/.
The Funds have again been slightly affected by the
difficulty which most parties seem to experience in judr
ing whether the affairs of the continent will settle down
or not. Consols have fluctuated from 911 to 921, being e',
the highest values now. Exchequer-bills have been rather
heavy at 445. to 475., and India Bonds at 655. to 69s'
premium. Bank Stock has been quoted at 1921. The,
New Three-and a-Quarter per cents. have realised 91i
to 91t.
The Foreign Securities are very dull again. Mexieell
have been 27i to 28 ex. div. Peruvian aro steady at 67:
Equador are marked 4, and Venezuela 28. SparlisP
Three per Cents. have been 32H, and Portuguese Fetir
per Cents. 28 29.
Railway Shares are rather flat again, and Midland'
York, and Berwick, Eastern Counties, North.Wastere,
and South-Eastern are rather lower.
