calculated, from all credible reports, at 60,000 men of all
arms, and fifty-nine pieces of artillery, under the command
of Sirdar Chuttur Singh and Raja Shere Singh, with a
body of 1,500 Affghan horse, led by Akram Khan, son of
the Ameer Dost Mahomed Khan,—a result, my Lord, glori-
ous indeed for the ever victorious army of India 1 The
ranks of the enemy broken, their position carried, their guns,
ammunition, camp equipage. and baggage captured, their
flying masses driven before the victorious pursuers from mid-
day to dusk, receiving most severe punishment in their
flight, and my Lord, with gratitude to a merciful Providence,
I have the satisfaction of adding that notwithstanding the
obstinate resistance of the enemy, this triumphant success,
this brilliant victory, has been achieved with comparatively
little loss on our side.
The number of guns taken in action, and captured in the
line of pursuit, I now find to be fifty-three.
The official report made by the Adjutant-General of the
army, on the 20th instant, will have informed your Lordship
that I had directed Brigadier-General the Hon. H. 1.; uncles
to join me by forced marches, and that I had closed up to so,
short a distance of the Seikh army that they could not pos-
sibly attempt the passage of the Chenaub in order to put into
execution their avowed determination of moving upon La-
hore, make a retrograde movement by the Kooree Pass (the
only practicable one for guns), or indeed quit their position
without my being able to attack them and defeat their move-
ment-
On the 18th inst., Brigadier Markham:had proceeded from
Ramnuggur up the left bank of the river- to Kanokee, to
which I had directed forty-seven boats to be sent up. On
the morning of the 20th this officer crossed the Chenaub by
my instructions, and joined me at eleven o'clock, A.M. At
the same time Lieutenant-Colonel Byrne was directed to
move down the left bank from the position he held in front
of Wuzeerabad, with two corps of Infantry and four guns,
leaving two regiments of Irregular Cavalry to watch the
fords, and to prevent any marauding parties or bodies of the
routed enemy from effecting a passage.
On the same day a reconnoissance was made of the enemy's
position, and it was ascertained that their camp nearly en-
circled the town of [Goojrat, their regular troops being
placed immediately fronting us, between the town and a
deep watercourse, the dry bed of the river Dwara. This
nulls, which is very tortuous, passing round nearly two sides
of the town of Goojrat, diverging to a considerable distance
on the north and west faces, and then taking a southerly
direction, running through the centre of the ground I occu-
pied at Shadewal. Thus the enemy's position on the right
was greatly strengthened, the nulla giving cover to his in-
fantry in front of his guns, whilst another deep, though
narrow, wet nullab, running from the east of the town, and
falling into the Chenaub, in the direction of Wuzeerabad,
covered his left.
The ground between these nullas, for a space of nearly
three miles, being well calculated for the operation of all
arms, and presenting no obstacle to the movement of my
heavy guns, I determined to make my principal attack in
that direction, and disposed my force accordingly.
On the extreme left I placed the Bombay column, com-
manded by the Hon. H. Dundas, supported by Brigadier
White's brigade of cavalry, and the Schinde horse under Sir
Joseph Thackwell, to protect the left, and to prevent large
bodies of Seikh and Affghan cavalry from turning that
flank. With this cavalry I placed 'Captains Duncan and
Huish's troops of horse artillery, whilst the infantry was
covered by the Bombay troop of horse artillery under Major
Blood.
Oa the right of the Bombay column, and with its right
resting on the nulla, I placed Brigadier-General Campbell's
division of infantry, covered by No-. 5 and No. 10 light field
batteries, under Major Ludlow and Lieutenant Robertson,
having Brigadier Hoggan's brigade of infantry in reserve.
Upon the right of the nulls I placed the infantry division
of Major-General Sir W. Gilbert, the heavy guns, 18 in
number, under Majors Day and Horsford. with Captain
Shakespear and Brevet-Major Sir Richmond Shakespear, com-
manding batteries, being disposed in two divisions upon the
flanks of his left brigade.
This line was prolonged by Major-General Whish's divi-
sion of infantry, with one brigade of infantry under Briga-
dier Markham, in support, in second line, and the whole
covered by three troops of horse artillery, Major Fordyce's,
Captains Mackenzie's and Anderson's, and' o. 17 light field
battery, under Captain Dawes, with Lieutenant-Colonel
Lane's and Captain Kinleside's troops of horse artillery in a
second line in reserve under Lieutenant-Colonel Brind.
My right flank was protected by Brigadiers Hearsey's and
Lockwoood's brigades of cavalry, with Captain Warner's
troop of horse artillery.
The sth and 6th Light Cavalry, with the Bombay light
field battery, and the 45th and 69th Regiments, under the
command of Lieutenant-Colonel Mercer, most effectually
protected my rear and baggage.
With my right wing I proposed penetrating the centre of
the enemy's line, so as to turn the position of their force in
rear of the nulla, and thus enable my left wing to cross it
with little loss, and in co operation with the right, to double
upon the centre of the wing of the enemy's force opposed to
them.
At half-past seven o'clock the army advanced in the order
described with the precision of a parade movement. The
enemy opened their fire at a very long distance, which ex-
posed to my artillery both the position and range of their
guns. I halted the infantry just out of fire, and advanced
the whole of my artillery, covered by skirmishers.
The cannonade now opened upon the enemy was the
most magnificent I ever witnessed, and as terrible in its
effects.
The Seikh guns were served with their accustomed rapi-
dity, and the enemy well and resolutely maintained his posi-
tion, but the terrific force of our fire obliged them, after an
obstinate resistance, to fall back. I then employed the in-
fantry, and directed:a general advance, covering the move-
ment by my artillery as before.
The village of Burra Kahl,' the left one of those of that
name in which the enemy had concealed a large body of in-
fantry, and which was apparently the key of their position
lay immediately in the line of Major- General Sir Walter
Gilbert's advance, and was carried in the most brilliant style
by a spirited attack of the third brigade, under Brigadier
Penny, consisting of the 2d Europeans, 31st and 70th Regi-
ments of Native Infantry, which drove the enemy from their
cover with great slaughter.
A very spirited and successful movement was also made
about the same time against a heavy body of the enemy's
troops in and about second or Ctrotah Kalra, by part of Briga-
dier llervey's brigade, most gallantly led by Lieut.-Colonel
Franks, of her Majesty's 10th Foot.
The heavy artillery continued to advance with extraordi-
nary celerity, taking up successive forward positions, driving
the enemy from those they had retired to, whilst the rapid
advance and beautiful fire of the horse artillery and light
field batteries, which I strengthened by bringing to the front
the two reserved trooi a of horse artillery under Lieutenant-
Colonel Brind, Brigadier Brooke having the general superin-
ten lence of the whole of the horse artillery, broke the ranks
of the enemy at all points. The whole infantry line now ra-
pidly advanced, and drove the enemy before it. The nulla
was cleared, several villages stormed, the guns that were in
position carried, the camp captured, and the enemy routed in
every direction 1 The right wing and Brigadier-General
Campbell's division passing in pursuit to the eastward, the
Bombay column to the westward of the town.
The retreat of the Seikh army, thus hotly pressed, soon
became a perfect flight, all arms dispersing over the coun-
try, rapidly pursued by our troops for a distance of twelve
miles, their track strewed with their wounded, their arms
and military equipments, which they threw away to conceal
that they were soldiers.
Throughout the operations thus detailed, the cavalry bri-
gades on the flanks were threatened and occasionally at-
tacked by vast masses of the enemy's cavalry, which were
in every instance put to flight by the steady movements and
spirited manoeuvres of our cavalry, most zealously and ju-
diciously supported by the troops of horse artillery attached
to them, from whom the enemy received the severest punish
men t.

On the left a most successful and gallant charge was made
upon the Affghan cavalry, and a large body of Goorchurras
by the Sinde horse and a party of the 9th Lancers, when
some standards were captured.
The determined front shown by the 14th Light Dragoons,
and the other cavalry regiments on the right, both regular
and irregular, completely overawed the enemy, and contri-
buted much to the success of the day. The conduct of all,
in following up the fugitive enemy, was beyond all praise.
A competent force under the command of Major-General
Sir Walter Gilbert resumed the pursuit towards the Jhelum
on the following morning, with a view of cutting off the
enemy from the only practicable gun road to the Jhelum.
Another division of infantry, under Brigadier-General Camp-
bell, advanced on the road to Bimber, scouring the country
in that direction to prevent their carrying off the guns by
that route, and a body of cavalry :under Lieut.-Colonel
Bradford successfully pushed on several miles into the hills,
and twenty-four from Goojrat, accompanied by that most
energetic political officer Captain Nicholson, for the same
purpose, whilst I remained in pesSession of the field for the
purpose of supporting these operations, covering the fords of
the Chenab, and destroying the vast magazines of ammuni-
tion left scattered in all directions. lam happy to add that
these combinations have been entirely successful, the de-
tached parties coming at every step on the wreck of the dis-
persed and flying foe.
Having thus endeavoured to convey to your Lordship the
particulars of the operations of the battle of Goojrat, I beg
now to offer my heartfelt congratulatious to your Lordship,
and to the Government of India, upon the signal victory
achieved under the blessing of Divine Providence by the
united efforts and indomitable gallantry of the noble army
under my command—a victory, my Lord, as glorious to the
army that gained it as it must be satisfactory to yourself and
the Government of India, from the very important and de-
cisive results to be expected from it.

It i 3 quite impossible for me sufficiently to express my ad-
miration of the pliant and steady conduct of the officers and
men, as well native as European, upon this occasion.
The brilliant services they have performed in so signally
defeating so vastly superior a force, amongst whom were the
elite of the old Khalsa army, making a last, united, and
desperate struggle, will speak for itself, and will, I am confi-
dent, be justly estimated by Sour Lordship.
I cannot too strongly express to your Lordship my deep
sense of obligation to the general officers and brigadier-
generals in command of divisions, who so ably carried out
my views, and directed the operations of their troops on
this day.
I beg to annex, for your Lordship's information, the re-
ports I have received from them, and to bring most pro-
minently to your Lordship's notice the brigadiers com-
manding brigades, the commanding officers of regiments,
and of troops of horse artillery and light field batteries, and
the several officers of the divisional and brigade staff enu-
merated in these reports, in terms of such just commen-
dation.

I feel much indebted to Major-General Sir Joseph Thack-
well, for the able and judicious manner he manoeuvred the
cavalry, with horse artillery attached, on the left, keeping
in check the immensely superior force of the enemy, whose
main object was to turn my flanks. lam also greatly
indebted to this tried and gallant officer for his valuable
assistance and untiring exertions throughout the present
and previous operations, as second in command with this
force.
To Malir-General Sir Walter Gilbert, whose services upon
this, as on all former occasions, were invaluable, and ever
marked by energy, zeal, and devotion, as well as to Major-
General Whish,-.l3rigadier-Generals Campbell and Dundas,
for their able assistance, I am deeply indebted.
To Brigadier-General Tennant, commanding that splendid
arm the Artillery, to whose irresistible power I am mainly
indebted for the glorious victory of Goojrat, I am indeed
most grateful. Conspicuous as the Artillery has ever proved
itself, never was its superiority over that of the eneinv, its
irresistible and annihilating power, more truthfully shown
than in this battle. The heavy batteries, manoeuvred with
the celerity of light guns, and the rapid advance, the scien-
tific and judicious selection of the points of attack, the
e„Tective arid well-directed fire of the troops of horse artil-
;B7 and light field batteries, merit my warmest praise, and
I beg most earnestly to recommend their brave and gallant
commanders, with several officers named in Brigadier-
General
Tennant's report, to your Lordship's most favour-
able notice.

From Brigadier Cheape, the chief ettgineer, and the ta-
lented officers in that department, as named in the Briga-
dier's report, I have re, eived the most valuable assistance in
reconnoitring the enemy's position, and on the field of battle.
The Sappers and Pioneers, under that most able officer Cap-
tain Siddons, did excellent service, and were ever in front to
overcome any obstacle to the advance of the Artillery.
To the officers of the General Staff of her Majesty's ser-
kiajor Luto', acting Adjutaut-General, and Lieut.-

Colonel Gough, Quartermaster-General of her Majesty's
forces in India, (my be at thanks are due. Their exertions
upon the present occasion, and throughout the recent opera-
tions, were most valuable, and I beg to bring them under
your Lordship's favouriible notice. lam equally indebted to
Captain Otter, acting Assistant Adjutant-General of her
Majesty's forces, for his valuable services.
To the officers of the General Staff of the army, Lieut.-
Colonel Grant, Adjutant-General, and Lieut.-Colonel Garden,
Quartermaster-Gene ral, whose most onerous and very im-
portant duties have invariably been conducted to my entire
satisfaction, lam under the greatest obligation. Their valu-
able assistance in the field, and their iniefatigable exertions
throughout operations of no ordinary character, deserve my
warmest thanks, and your Lordship's approbation.
To Lieutenant-Colonel Birch, Judge-Advocate-General, I
am much indebted for his assistance upon every occasion.
To Major Tucker, Deputy-Adjutant-General, a most gal-
lant, energetic, and valuable officer; to Lieut.-Colonel Drum-
mond, Deputy-Quartermaster-General, whose services have
been very praiseworthy; to Major Chester, Assistant-Adju-
tant-General, and Lieut. Tytler, Assistant-Quartermaster-
General, Lieut. Johnson, Deputy Judge-Advocate-General,
Major G. Thomson, and Lieut.-Col. Curtis, Assistant-Com-
missary-General, Captain C. Campbell, Paymaster of the
Army, I offer my best thanks for their services whilst attend-
ing me in the field, and the efficient manner they have per-
formed their several duties.
Mr. Franklin, Inspector-General of her Majesty's Hospi-
tals, has been unceasing in his exertions in rendering every
aid to the sick and wounded of the royal service, and giving
the benefit of his long professional experience in such duties;
as has Dr. Benny, Superintending-Surgeon of this army, who
has been indefatigable in his professional exertions and well
organized medical arrangements.
I feel I cannot too prominently bring to notice the valuable
exertions of Dr. M'Rae, Field-Surgeon, and of the medical
officers of the army generally; they have been most unwea-
ried and praiseworthy.
To Captainglamsay. Deputy-Commissary-General, and to
the officers of his department, I ant much indebted, and feel
grateful for their unceasing and successful exertions, amidst
all difficulties, to supply the troops, and thus preserve the
efficiency of the army.
The officers of my personal staff have well merited my
best thanks, and your Lordship's favourable notice. Captain
Haines, military secretary, who has rendered me most valu-
able aid, Brevet Major Bates, A.D.C., Lieutenant A. Bagot,
A.D.O , Lieutenant S. J. Hire, A.D.C., Captain Gabbett,
A.D.C.. Lieutenant G. Hardinge, A.D.C., and Lieutenant
W. G. Prendergast, my Persian interpreter.
I beg also to acknowledge the valuable assistance I have
received from the political officers, Major Mackeson, Mr.
Cocks, Captain Nicholson, and Lieutenant Robinson, both
in the field and throughout the operations. I regret to add
that Mr. Cocks was seriously wounded during the action in a
rencontre with a Seikh horseman.
I would also bring to your Lordship's notice the name of
Lieut. Stannus, of the sth Light Cavalry ; this officer has
commanded:the cavalry party attached to my escort through-
out the operations to my entire satisfaction. Me was severely
wounded on the 21st, when gallantly charging a party of the
enemy's horsemen.
Major Anstruther, of the Madras Artillery, Lieutenant
Mayne, of the Madras Cavalry, and Captain Showers, of the
14th Native Infantry, attended me in the field.
I have most unwillingly been delayed from sooner for-
warding this dispatch, from the circumstance of having only
this day received Brigadier-General the Hon. H. Dundas's
report, and some of the casualty returns have not even yet
reached me. As soon as the whole come in, a full amended
general return shall be transmitted, without loss of time, for
your Lordship's information.
I have the pleasure to enclose a- plan of the battle of
Goojrat, also a return of the captured ordnance.
I have, &c.,

GouGil, General,
Commander-in-Chief in India.
P.S.—The casualty lists having arrived, I have the
honour to enclose the return of killed and wounded, which, I
am sorry to see, is so mush heavier than I at first antici-
pated. Several of these were occasioned by accidental
explosions of the enemy's tumbrils and magazines after the
action. (Signed) G.

The first batteries engaged in action were those attached
to the first and second 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
nine o'clock AM. Shortly after the action commenced, an
opportunity was observed of enfilading one of the enemy's
batteries, when the reserve artillery under Lieutenant-Colo-
nel F. Brind was advanced, and placed by Brigadier G.
Brooke, C. 8., so as to do so. The batteries of the third
division engaged as they came up, and those with the ca-
valry brigades supported their movements as opportunity
offered. Nearly the whole engagement being a cannonade,
no movement f importance took place among the batteries.
which maintained their fire until half-past eleven, A.M.,
when many of the enemy's guns were observed to be dis-
mounted and their line broken, and an advance was ordered
in pursuit.

and Lieutenant C. Paton performed the duty assigned to
them of bringing up the fleet of boats ordered by bis Excel-
lency from Ranmuggur, and placing them so as to enable
the portion of the, army on the other side of the Chenab to
co-operate and to come up; the former officer arrived before
the close of the action, and joined Brigadier. General Camp-
bell's division.

The other officers of engineers were detached with the dif-
ferent divisions of the army, and no mention of these officers
is needed from me, as whatever service they may have had
an opportunity of rendering will be more appropriately re-
ported to his Excellency, or acknowledged by the general
officers commanding each division.

Captain f.,iddons, commanding the Sappers and Pioneers,
was attached to the heavy guns with a portion of his corps,
the remainder being detached by companies to the different
divisions; such duty as was required from them I need
hardly say was effectively performed; and I trust it may
not be considered by his Lordship out of place my men.
tioning here the gallant behaviour and unwearied exertion
displayed by these men throughout the present service. I
allude in particular to the siege operations at Moulton, and
the conduct of that portion of the corps who were employed
there.

Prior to the engagement en the 21st instant, the officers
of Engineers were employed in collecting information, and
in surveying and reconnoitring; and it is due to Captain
Longden, of her Majesty's 10th Regiment, who is attached
to the engineering department as surveyor and field engi-
neer, to state the very able assistance he has rendered in all
these duties during the whole operations since I have joined
the army.
I beg to add that lam much indebted to Lieutenant J.
11. Maxwell, for the very zealous performance of his duties
on all occasions as Major of Brigade of Engineers; and to
Lieutenant J. E. Cracroft, Brigade Quartermaster, my ac-
knowledgments are also due; and I hope I may be permitted
to recommend to his Excellency's favour Lieutenant Hutch-
inson, of the Engineers, a very promising young officer, who
has been lately acting as my aide-de-camp, and who was
very severely wounded on the 21st instant.

PP.OM MAJOR-GENERAL SIR JOS. THACKWELL, K.C.8., COM-
MANDING CAVALRY DIVISION, TO LIEUTENANT COLONEL
GRANT, 0.8., ADJUTAET-GENERAL OF THE ARMY.
:Head-quarters, Camp Goojrat, 25th Feb., 1549.
Sir,—l have the honour to repQrt, for the information of
his Excellency the Right Hon. the Commander-in-Chief,
the operations of the division of cavalry under my com-
mand, in the battle fuaght on the 21st instant, near the town
of Goojrat.
The left column of cavalry under the command of Briga-
dier White, C.B. consistirg of the troops named in the
margin,* assembled in columns of troops at half distance,
riglitkn front at deploying interval, on the left of the Bombay
column of Infantry, at seven o'clock in the morning.
The right column, composed of troops named below, un-
der the command of Brigadiers Lockwood and Hearsey,
C. 8., were formed in column left in front at the same hour.
The third division of infantry and the Bombay brigade,
all on the left of the nulla leading towards Goojrat, being
under my immediate superintendence, I remained on the left
flank of the army, and I make no doubt Brigadier-Generals
Dundas and Campbell have made you fully acquainted with
the operations of the troops under their command. ,
Oa approaching the yiElage of Nurrawalla, jut without
