Many of these guns have long Perk ian inscriptions on
them, and very old dates; some are highly ornamented,
carriages in good repair, and closely assimilating to those in
use with the Bengal Artillery, the whole well fitted for post
guns ; the metal in these guns is much heavier than those of
a similar calibre in use with the Bengal Artillery.
Two m ire guns were discovered at Sooltan-Khan Wallah,
of which no return has vet been received.

InEoFu rOF DoIAt,
to DATEDr
Excellency CAMP, o
to report
when the army under your command had formed its junction
with the forces from Ferozepore, under Major-General ra Sir
John Littler, and was drawn up in order battle,
of on the 21st
instant, I proceeded with the two left brigades, commanded
by Colonels Wallace and M'Laren, to attack
the enemy's en-
trenched position at Ferozeshah.
2. The line advanced with great steadiness, notwithstand-
ing the nature of the ground, intersected with jungle. When
the troops had cleared these impediments, and had opened
out into the plain, they continued to press on, without a
check, under a very heavy fire of grape and musketry from
the enemy's batteries, and having borne down all opposition,
entered the enemy's camp, and captared the guns in their
front.
3. This portion of the camp was soon after on fire, com-
pelling the troops to desist from their attack of the remain-
der; and, as it was now dark, the troops forme! on the
ground, nearly on a line with the burning camp. From that
period till the morning, these brave men were exposed to an
incessant fire from the enemy's guns, the darkness of the
night being illuminated by the explosion of mines, tumbrils,
and shells.
4. I need not dwell on the events of this night, so remark-
able in military history, because your Excellency witnessed
them, and, with me, admired the fortitude and resolution of
these brave men, ready to encounter any danger, although
harassed by fatigue and suffering from thirst.
5. I have personally reported to your Excellency my ad-
miration of the conduct of her Majesty's 80th Regiment, and
the Ist European Light Infantry, in obeying with alacrity
the order I gave about midnight to stand to their arms and
charge a battery, which bore destructively on our ranks.
Lieutenant-Colonel Bunbury, assisted by Lieutenant Colonel
Wood, my aide- de-camp, led the attack, on which occasion
the latter officer was woirded. The guns were spiked, the
enemy driven away with loss, and this part of our line left
undisturbed for the remainder of the night. Their conduct
in the preceding part of the action came more immediately
under your Excellency's own observation. -
6. Your Excellency, having formed the troops before day-
light, led the right of the attack, entrusting
.the left to me.
The whole line instantly advanced, and, animated by your
example, carried everything before them ; and, having tra-
versed the camp from one extremity to the other, drew up in
a perfect line, expressing by loud cheers, as we rode up the
line, their conscious pride that every man had done his duty.
7. I again most cordially congratulate you on the brilliant
success of the army under your Excellency's command.
8. It is now my duty to report to your Excellency, that
Major-General Gilbert, commanding a portion of this divi-
sion of the army, gave me the greatest satisfaction.
9. Colonel Wallace fell bravely at the head of his troops.
10. Colonel M'Laren led-his brigade with his accustomed
judgment and resolution.
11. My own prional staff having been all disabled, with
the exception of one most dear to me, and who still remained
by my side, I derived, on the morning of the 22d, the most
valuable aid from Lieutenant-Colonel Birch, Judge. Advo-
cate-General; from Lieutenant-Colonel Parsons, and from
your Excellency's intelligent and brave aide-de-camp, Cap-
tain West. These officers, riding several paces in front of
the line, regulated the advance, animated the men, and pre-
vented any unnecessary firing.
12. I have great obligations, during the whole of these
operations, to Colonel Benson, a member of the Military
Board, and acting as my aide-de-camp, who has constantly
accompanied me in the field, and in whose cool judgment and
experienced ability I place great reliance.
13. My aide-de-camp, Lieutenant-Colonel Wood, has sho trn
all the qualities which make a good officer.
