GENERAL ORDER BY GOVERNMENT.

The honourable the Governor in Council is
:pleased to publish the following dispatch from
Lieutenant-Colonel Lionel Smith, of his Majev.
ty's 65th Regiment, and commanding: a force in
Kattywar, to the Address of the Resident at
rodaL communicating the; operations of the force
against
,the fort of Nowanugger. •
Head-Quarters, Camp before Nuanzitiggur,A
Feb. 24, 181.2.
SIR,---The nature of Your Communications With
the jam Rajah:requiring the advance of the de-
tachment under my command, I have the honour
to acquaint you, 'for the information of the Ho-,
nourable the Governor in, Council; that' we
.marched from Chella. Chunga on the morning' of
the 21St instant, and took up a position on the ,
north-face of.NOannuggur, the. jam's Arab in-
fantry only occasioning some trifling skirmishing,
While his horse was kept in check by those of his
Highness rutty Sitig.
On the morning of the 22d, a,detachment was
sent forward to take up ground for the batteries,
but considering the camp at too great -a distance •
to do so promptly, and without great loss, I esta-
blished, in the first insta ,ce, a strong redoubt to
shelter'the troopi in our fartife.;' Operations. The
enemy having •brought nearly.:all, bis guns during
the niOlt to this. face, I placed two !uns in this
redoubt to keep up the enemy:s 'ntiou from the
real spOt intended for breaching, which was most
judiciously pointed out by the EnOacer, Liente-
nant Gordon, and, a battery having been com-
pleted during the night of the 22d, it .opened:
about nine. o'clock the foll Owing morning, and.
effected a breach on 'the Uorth-east face of the Wall
by five o'clock in the evening.
I had issued orders for the assault at day-light
this morning, which the Jam's submission to Go-
vernment during the night prevented, and though,
by this timely reflection of the Raj Oles, many
lives have been saved,- I may be permitted to re- '
gret, in common with all the Officers and men of
this detachnieUt, a result so full of disappoint..
nlent for 'the zeal, and Order, evinced by all
ranks, promised the most deeßive'sucCess:against
any 'resistance.

I am under the greatest, oblip.;atilns to Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Ba!t, for his support and assist-
!ince to me la all occasions.
'rile advanced parties the 1i.2:1!t battalion, and
the comn'tny of sharp-shooters of the 7th regi-
ment, Who wet-e th-nwn out aL'ainst the Arabs,
while were Lakin up ground on di:- 22c1 inst.
particularly distinguished themselves by activity,
anti sttNal;ness.

•
The Officers mostly employed having-, been
those of the Eng4.neers and Artillery, they all
Made the greatest exertions in their respective
duties. T 4 _Engineers, Lieutenant Gordoti and
:Ensign J'arvis, were indefatigable. Captain Bond,
';and all the OfficerS and men of the artillery, afforded
',me the highest satisfaction ; the merits of Cap-
-tain hardy are well established; he is an excel-
lent officer, and I availed, himself of his-informa-
tion and. science with perfect confidence.
I have the honour to he, &c.

The troops in the eastern seas were rapidly pro-
ceeding in the reduction of the Dutch islands.—
Intelligence has been received in India of the
capture of the islands of Alaca,,sar and Tiittour.
The ti pops were in general in good health and
spirits.

The resources of the colony at Java not 'only
enabled Government to p'rovicle for its own 'se-
curity, but were considered sufficiently ample to•
contribute to the general defencg of:the British
Empire. •

We were glad to learn, from ad official notifica-
tion by Sir S. Aehmuiy, that his Royal Highness
the Prince" Regent had ordered a distribution of
medals, on 'the same principle, obtaining in Spain

encies.

MiniAs', MAY 23.---41 y the Masora packet,
'which arrived here on Saturday last from the
ot'Persia;, letteri have been received from
Tabrcez to March 12th. The English. Officers
had lately retUrned.frOth a winter campaign on the
banks of Kur, wherein his Royal Highness the
Prince 4:.74ersia, v,ith the .newLraised corps of
horse artillery , and 2500 infantry, forced the
entrenchmeht, and compelled them to
surrender at discretion, with the Iws 61.500 killed
and. wounded, two cOldiirs,' and two:;sins taken,
one of them of heavy calibre. SeVen Officers alime
remained alive out of 24, and of these seven two.
Were Woundetr.

The attack -of this entrenchment was entrusted
to Major D'Arey, who, at the head of one hitta-
lion of irlftntry and three gu:l,, ?it-Naked it on the
ritAt flank ; while-Cantains Christie and Lindsay,
with seven gaps and 2006 infant6r,,conducted the
attack in front:

The- Rifisiariii mistook Lindsay's _guns coming
up at a gallop for a party of horse,
,and coin,
menced firing from an 18 and 4-pounder at him.
When within,six hundred yards of them he open-
ed, and after firing about a quarter of an hour,
advanced thi'ee hundred ,and fifty yards at a trot;
at this moment Captain Christie, at the head of a
small but gallant party, dashed into the village,
foilowed by the 'Sir, btu. They drove back the
Rnssians, and got possession of a gun and half the
village. The Persians, however, as usual, dis-
'persed to plunder, which the Russians perceiving,
rallied, and drove them out again at the poi t of
the bayonet. The Russians pursued them beyond
the, village, but were soon driven back by Lind-
say's grape. TWo European serjeants were unfor-
tunately lost.
Major D'Arcy, in the mean time, continued fir-
ing from the right, and blew up one of the Russian
Magazines. The cannonade, which continued
during the space of four hours and a half; closed
' with the night, and on the next morning the Rus-
. sians surrendered.

The Persians lost, it is said, 150 killed, and
360 wounded.
