FROM lIIS EXCELLENCY THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF TO THE
RIGHT HON. THE GOVERNOR-Cr EN EItAL OF INDIA, DATED.
CAMP, FEROZESHAH, DEC. 22, 1845.
Right Hon. Sir,--I have again to congratulate you on the
success of our arms. A grand battle has been fought
against the Seikh army at this place, and, by the blessing of
Divine Providence, victory has been won, by the valour of
our troops, against odds and under circumstances which will
render this action one of the most memorable in the page of
Indian history.
After the combat of the 18th at Moodkee, • information
was received the following day that the enemy, in increased
numbers, were moving on to attack us. A line of defence
was taken up in advance of our encampment, and disposi-
tions made to repel asaault, but the day wore away without
their appearing, and at night we had the satisfaction of
being reinforced by her Majesty's 29th Foot, and the East
India Company's Ist European Light Infantry, with our
small division of heavy guns.
I must here allude to a circumstance most favourable to
our efforts in the field. On this evening, in addition to the
valuable counsel in which you had in every emergency be-
fore favoured me, you were pleased yet further to strengthen
my hands by kindly offering your services as second in com-
mand in my army. I need hardly say with how much plea-
sure the offer was accepted.
On the morning of the 21st the offensive was resumed; our
columns of all arms debouched four miles on the road to Fe-
rozeshah, where it was knswn that the enemy, posted in
great force and with a most formidable artillery, had re-
mained since the action of the 18th, incessantly empl. yed
in entrenching his position. Instead of advancing to
the direct attack of their formidable works, our force
manoeuvred to their right ; the second and fourth divisions
of infantry, in front, supported by the first division and
cavalry in second line, continued to defile for some time out
of cannon shot between the Seikhs and Ferozepore. The
desired effect was not long delayed, a cloud of dust was seen
on our left, and according to the instructions sent him on the
preceding evening, Major-General Sir John Littler, with his
division, availing himself of the offered opportunity, was dis-
covered in full march to unite his force with mine. The
junction was soon effected, and thus was accomplished one of
the great objects of all our harassing marches and privations,
in the relief of this division of our army from the blockade of
the numerous forces by which it.was surrounded.
Dispositions were now made fora united attack on the
enemy's entrenched camp. We found it to be a parallelo-
gram, of about a mile in length, and half a mile in breadth,
including within its area the strong village of Ferozeshah ;
the shorter sides looking towards the Sutlej and Moodkee,
and the longer towards Ferozepore and the open country.
We moved against the last-named face, the ground in front
of which was like the Seikh position in Moodkee, covered
with low jungle.
The divisions of Major-General Sir John Littler, Brigadier
Wallace (who had succeeded Major-General Sir John
M'Caskill), and Major-General Gilbert, deployed into line,
having in the centre our whole force of artillery, IN ith the
exception of three troops of horse artillery, one on either
flank and one in support, to be moved as occasion required.
Major General Sir Harry Smith's division, and our small
cavalry force, moved in second line, having a brigade in re-
serve to cover each wing.
I should here observe, that I committed the charge and
direction of the left wing to Lieutennnt-Gcneral Sir Henry
Hardinge, while I personally conducted the right.
A very heavy cannonade was opened by the enemy, who
had dispersed over their position upwards of one hundred
guns, more than forty of which were of battering calibre ;
these kept up a heavy and well-directed fire, which the prac-
tice of our far less numerous artillery, of much lighter metal,
checked in some degree, but could not silence ; finally, in the
face of a storm of shot and shell, our infantry advanced and
carried these formidable entrenchments ; they threw them-
selves upon the guns, and with matchless gallantry wrested
them from the enemy; but, when the batteries were partially
within our grasp, our soldiery had to face such a fire of
musketry from the Seikh infantry, arrayed behind their
gun that, in spite of the most heroic efforts, a portion only
of the entrenchment could be carried. Night fell while the
conflict was everywhere raging.
Although I now brought -up Major-General Sir Harry
Smith's division, and he captured and long retained another
ioint of the position, and her Majesty's 3d Light Dragoons
barged and took some of the most formidable batteries, yet
,e enemy remained in possession of a considerable portion

Many of these guns have long Pen 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 more guns were discovered at Sooltan than Wallah,
of which no return has vet been received.

weirs, kept possession of the remainder, and finally b
vouacked upon it, exhausted by their gallant efforts, greatly re-
duced in numbers, and suffering extremely from thirst, yet
animated by an indomitable spirit. In this state of things
the long night wore away.
Near the middle of it, one of their heavy guns was ad-
vanced and played with deadly effect upon our troops. Lieut.-
General Sir Henry Hardinge immediately formed her Ma-
jesty's 80th Foot and the Ist European Light Infantry. They
were led to the attack by their commanding officers, and
animated in their exertions by Lieut.-Colonel Wood (aide-
de- camp to the Lieutenant-General), who was wounded in
the outset. The 80th captured the gun, and the enemy, dis-
mayed by this counter-check, did not venture to press en
further. Puring the whole night, however, they continued
to harass our troops by fire of artillery, wherever moonlight
discoVered our position.
But with daylighteßf the 22d came retribution. Our in-
fantry formed line, supported on both flanks by horse artil-
lery, whilst a fire was opened from our centre by such of our
heavy guns as remained effective, aided by a flight of rockets.
A masked battery played with great effect upon this point,
dismounting oar pieces and blowing up our tumbrils. At
this moment Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Hardinge placed
himself at the head of the left, whilst I rode at the head of
the right wing.
Our line advanced, and, unchecked by the enemy's fire,
drove them rapidly out of the village of Feruzeshah and
their encampment; then, changing front to its left, on its
centre, our force continued to sweep the camp, bearing down
all opposition, and dislodged the enemy from their whole
position. The line then halted, as if on a day of manoeuvre,
receiving its two leaders as they rode along its front with a
gratilying cheer, and displaying the captured standards of the
Khal,qa army. We had taken upwards of 73 pieces of can-
non, and were masters of the whole field.
The force assumed a position on the ground which it had
won, but even here its labours were not to cease. In the
course of two hours, Sirdar Tej Singh, who had commanded in
the great last battle, brought up from the vicinity of Feroze-
pore fresh battalions and a large field of artillery, supported
by 30,000 Ghorepurras, hitherto encamped near the river.
He drove in our cavalry parties, and made strenuous efforts
to regain the position at Ferozeshah ; this attempt was de-
feated; but its failure had scarcely become manifest, when
the Sirdar renewed the contest with more troops and a large
artillery. He commenced by a combination against our left
flank-; and when this was frustrated made such a demon-
stration against the captured vill.-ge as compelled us to
change our whole front to the right. His guns, during this
manoeuvre, maintained an incessant fire, whilst our artillery
ammunition being completely expended in these protracted
combats, we were unable to answer him with a single shot.
I now directed our almost exhausted cavalry to threaten
both flanks at once, preparing the infantry to advance in
support, which apparently caused him suddenly to cease his
fire, and to abandon the field.
For twenty-four hours net a Seikh has appeared in our
front. The remains of the Rhalsa army are said to be in full
retreat across the Sutlej, at Nuggurputhur and Tilla, or
marching up its left bank towards Hurreekeeputhur, in the
greatest confusion and dismay. Of their chiefs, Bahadur
Singh is killed ; Lal Singh said to be wounded ; Mehtab
Singh, Adjoodhia Pershad, and 'fej Singh, the late governor
of I'eshawur, have fled with precipitation. Their camp is
the scene of the most awful carnage, and they have aban-
loned large stores of grain, camp equipage, and ammunition.
Thus has apparently terminated this unprovoked and dri-
inal invasion of the peaceful p:ovinces under British pro-

tection.
Oa the conclusion of such a narrative as I have given, it is
snr,ly superfluous in me to say, that I am, and shall be to
the last moment of my existence, proud of the army which
I had the honour to command on the 21st and 22d instant.
To their gallant• exertions I owe the satisfaction of seeing
such a victory achieved, and the glory cf having my own
name associated with it.
The I,:ss of this army has been heavy ; how could a hope
be formed that it shoal-Übe othr2rwisa? Within thirty hours
this force stormed an entrenched camp, fought a general
action, and sustained two considerable combats with the
enemy. Within four days it has dislodged from their posi-
tions, on the left bank of the Sutlej, 60,000 Seikh soldiers,
supported by upwards of 150 pieces of cannon, 108 of which
the enemy acknowledge to have lest, and 91 of which are in
our po'ssession.
In additio h to our losses in the battle, the captured ci mp
was found to be everywhere protected by charged mines, by
the successive springing of which many brave officers and
men have been destroyed.
I must bear testimony to the valour displayed in these
actions by the whole of the regiments of her Majesty's ser-
vice employed, and the East India Company's' Ist European
Light Infantry : the native force seconded in a most spirited
manner their gallant conduct.
To Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Hardinge, my second
in command, my warmest thanks are due, not only for his
personal exertions, which were cotspicuous to all, bat for
the able assistance lie afforded me through all the eventful
scenes of this well-fought action, To the general and my
personal staff, I feel deeply indebted for their unceasing ex-

John Littler, and Brigadier Wallace (who nobly fell in the

formed of their conduct as leaders of divisions.

The reports I have received from the generals of divisions
ef infantry, the brigadiers of cavalry, and the commandant
of artillery, speak in the highest terms of their respective
staff; and it is my intention, as soon as possible, to forward
to you, Right Honourable Sir, a list containing the names of
all the &acre I have just enumerated, together with the
names of all those who appear to me specially to merit ap-
probation and favour.
The hurried manner in which I am forced to collect in-
formation, and prepare these numerous details, may, I fear,
cause the omission of the names of some officers well deserv-
ing of notice; but I shall not fail to send in a supplementary
list when I can assure myself of their individual merits, as ft
would be most painful to me to feel that I had not done jus-
tice to any one of the brave men who shared with me the
gle_ri_es and dangers of this arduous conflict.

FROM LIEUTENANT-GENERAL SIR HENRY lIAR DING E, C1.C.8 , TO
HIS EXCELLENCY GENERAL SIR HUGH GOUGII, BART., CI:C.B
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF INDIA, DATED CAMP, PEROZE-
roitE, DEC. 22, 1845.
Sir,—l have The honour to report to your Excellency that,
when the army under your command bad formed its junction
with the forces from Ferozepore, under Major-General Sir
John Littler, and was drawn up in order of battle, 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 Perozeshah.
2.- The line advanced with great steadiness, notwithstand-
ing the naturo, 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 captured 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 1 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 pers•nially 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 ithe attack, on which occasion
the latter officer was woulded. 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 bad done his duty.
7. I again most cordially congratulate you on the brilliant
success of the army under your Excellency command.
8. It is now my duty to report to Excellency, that
y our
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.

THE SUN, LONDON, TATESDAY EVENINO, .REBRITARY 24, 1846.

14. I beg to bring to your notice my aide-de-camp, Lieute-
nant Hillier, who is wounded, and Lieutenant Peel, of the
37th Native Infantry, acting aide-de camp, who is slightly
wounded. Captain Becher, of the Quarter-Master General's
Department, attached to my camp, also accompanied me,
and I recommend him as a very promising officer.
15. I also recommend the officers belonging to the Poli-
tical Agency of these provinces, who acted as my aides-de-
camp, Captain Abbott and Lieut. Lake, and are both wounded.
Captain Mills, acting aide .de-camp, took the command
of a troop of Horse Artillery, with his usual spirit.
16. It is now with great pain that I have to record the ir-
reparable loss I have sustained, and more especially the
East India Company's service, in the death of Major Broad-
foot, of the Madras army, my political agent. He was thrown
from his horse by a shot, and I failed in prevailing upon him
to leave the field. He re-mounted, and shortly afterwards re-
seived a mortal wound. He was brave as he was able in every
branch of the political and military service. •
17. Major Somerset, my military secretary, much about
the same time, was shot through the body, conducting him-
I self with the hereditary courage of hiirace. He was always
' foremost where difficulties required to be overcome. I deeply
regret his loss.
18. I have also lest a most promising and brave officer by
the death of Captain Ilerries, on the night of the 18th, at
Moodk ee.

19. Lieutenant Munro, of the 10th Light Cavalry, my
aide-de-camp, a most amiable and excellent officer, I have
also had the misfortune to lose, whilst placed at your Excel-
lency's disposal, in the affair at Moodkee.
23. Captain Here, Assistant Military Secretary, and a
valuable officer, acting as my aide-de-camp, was killed about
the same time as Major Somerset received his wound.
21. I have now to reqmst your Excellency's notice to the
conduct of an illustrious nobleman, Count Ravensburg, who,
with the officers of his suite, ount Greuhen and Count
Oriole, accompanied me in the field. These Prussian officers
nobly sustained the reputation of their countrymen.
22. The Prince's surgeon was struck to the ground by a
ball. I saw his Royal Highness instantly spring from his
horse to his assistance. The prince's humanity was unavail-
ing ; death had already closed the surgeon's career.
`23. I ant aware of the respectful regard which your Excel-
lency entertains for this illustrious nobleman and his com-
panions, travellers in the East ; and I know that this brief
record of their actions will be gratifying to your Excellency.

FROM MAJOR-GENERAL SIR JOHN LITTLER TO THE ADJU-
TANT-GENERAL OT THE ARMY, DATED FEROZEPORE,
DEC. 25, 1845.
Sir,—in pursuance of instructions received from the Right
Hon. the Governor-General, under date the 20th instant,
I moved out of my position at Ferozepore at 8 a.m. on the
21st instant, with the corps as per margin,* leaving the de-
fence of the cantonments to the 63d Regiment Native In•
fantry, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Wilkinson, and
that of the town to the 27th Regiment Native Infantry, under
Lieut.-Colonel Carnegy, together with detachments of Sap-
pers, and half a field battery in the town, and 2d company
(reserve) of Artillery in the entrenchment.
I effected a junction with the troops under the personal
command of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, and,
agreeably to his instructions, moved into position, or order of
battle, on the same evening about 4, r.m. The first advance
in line was very steady, and the approach to the cnemrs
works made under a most galling and destructive fire. The
casualties in the ranks were awful. The troops, however,

still moved on with great firmness and resolution, and ap-
proached the enemy's battery to within about 150 yards,
when I considered the prize to be within their grasp.
Brigadier T. Reed gave the order to charge, supported by
the left or Brigadier the Honourable T. Ashburnham's; Bri-
gade. This charge was commenced with such determined
gallantry and spirit, that the result seemed certain. The
enemy, however, having great confidence in their guns, con-
tinued to serve them with extraordinary activity, and to
make such havoc in our ranks, as to cause an immediate
panic and hesitation in her Majesty's 62d Foot, which of
course had a similar effect on the native regiments on the
flanks, notwithstanding all our exertions to induce them to
advance by cheering and encouraging them, pointing at the
same time to the short distance Iwhich they had to proceed
when the day would be. their own. It was all in vain; and
they retired out of gun-shot, to where her Majesty's 9th Foot
and 26th Regiment Native Infantry were drawn up in re-
serve. A part of the 14th Regiment Native Infantry, with
their colours, accompanied these two reiments, and entered

the enemy's batteries.
At this period it was nearly dark, and, as I had heard that
the divisions on the right had also been unable to obtain an
entrance, I bivouacked for the night in the vicinity.
On the following morning I obtained information of the
right division having been directed to renew the attack, and
I moved to co-operate, as might be necessary. I then re-
ceived orders to wait until further instructions, and was
moved up to the town and directed to hold it. The result
of .this attack was most glorious to the British army, and I
heartily congratulate his Excellency and the Governor-
General on the happy termination of probably one of the
most sanguinary engagements that ever took place in India.
With the conduct of the troops in general under me, I
was much gratified; their patience and perseverance in
marching through the day, exposed to the sun and want of
water, must have, no doubt, in some measure weakened their
energies, but they, notwithstanding, evinced great firmness
and resolution in advancing to the attack, until borne down
by the furious and irresistible fire from all arms, that men
could be exposed to; the loss of many of their officers must
have tended to relax their efforts and check their ardour, and
under such circumstances only could the disappointment to
her Majesty's 62d Regiment, themselves, and to their country,
have been for a moment conceived.
The native troops, under the numerous temptations to
which they have been exposed for several months past by
Seikh emissaries, have evinced their loyalty to the British
Government in a most remarkable manner, not a single de-
sertion having taken place since the enemy crossed the
Sutlej, that has come to my knowledge. They have main-
tained the character of the Bengal army in displaying cou-
rage and bravery under a heavy fire.
I have much pleasure in bringing to the favourable notice
of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief the services of
those zealous and indefatigable officers, Brigadiers T. Reed,
the Hon. T. Ashburnham, D. Harriott, commanding cavalry ;
and E. Huthwaitc, commanding artillery, whose cool courage
throughout the attack was conspicuous. To the several
commanding officers of regiments and divisiono, Lieut.-
Colonel Gairdner, commanding 14th Regiment Native In-
fantry; Lieut.-Colonel Bruce, commanding 12th Regiment
Native Infantry, who lost his arm in the action ; Major
Wake, commanding 44th Regiment Native Infantry; Major
Short, commanding her Majesty's 62d Foot; Major Osborn,
commanding 54th Regiment Native Infantry; and Captain
Sandeman, commanding 33d Regiment Native Infantry, I
feel much indebted for the spirited and gallant manner in
which they brought up their respective regiments during the
advance.
It is with sincere regret that I have to report for his Ex-
cellency's information the death of my Aide-de-Camp, Lieu-
tenant Harvey, of her Majesty's 39th Foot, a very promising
and intelligent young officer, and devoted to his profession.
He was shot during the advance, in the act of cheering on
the men, when within about 250 yards of the enemy's works.
His death will be a loss to the public service, and deplored
by his friends and relations.
Of Captain Egerton, my Assistant Quarter-Master Gene-
ral, whose activity and zeal were conspicuous, I cannot speak
too highly ; he was severely wounded on the morning of
the 22d.
It is with much gratification that I also submit for his
Excellency's consideration, and acknowledge the obligation
to Major P. Innes, my Deputy Assistant Adjutant-General,
and Captain Burnett, Major of the brigade, for their inde-
fatigable exertions throughout the affair, as well as for their
able assistance on all occasions.
Lieutenant Goodwyn, of the Engineers, has proved him-
self a most zealous and indefatigable officer during the whole
time that the Seikh army has been opposite Ferozepore, as
well as on the evening of the 21st, during the engagement,
and whom I beg to recommend to his Excellency's notice.
To Captain W. B. Thomson, Commissariat -Department,
who accompanied me, and to Lieutenant W. Fullerton, super-
intending the Sudder Bazaa", who volunteered his services as
my aide-de camp, and was particularly useful to me in the
field, I feel indebted.
Captain Nicolson, late Assistant Governor-General's agent,
and Colonel Van Courtland, late of the Seikh service, who
were placed at my disposal by the late Major Broadfoot,
C. 8., afforded me every assistance in their power during the
engagement and previously, when the Seikhs first crossed
he Sutlej.—l have, &c.,

Camp, Ferozepore, Dec. 30, 1845.
The Governor-General having received from the Com-
mander-in-Chief in India the dispatches, dates of which are
noted in the margin 4 directs that they, be published for the
information of the army and people of India.
The first dispatch from his Excellency reports the opera-
tions of the army on the 'evening of the 18th instant, at
Moodkee, where the enemy attempted to surprise the British
camp, and were repulsed at all points with the loss of seven-
teen guns.
The second dispatch reports the glorious successes obtained
'by the army under the immediate command of his Excel-
lency, on the evening of the 21st, and the morning of the
22d, at Ferozeshali' where the British army assaulted the
entrenched camp of the. Seikhs defended by 108 pieces of
cannon, some of heavy calibre, and after driving the enemy
from his position, captured seventy-four guns. Thus the
enemy have been forced to relinquish to their victors on these
occasions upwards of ninety pieces of artillery, with all the
munitions of war in their camp.
All the objects which the Governor-General desired to
effect have been accomplished by his Excellency the Com-
mander-in-Chief. The British forge posted at Ferozepore,
th-s suddenly and treacherously surrounded by the Seikh
army, with a large park of artillery, has been relieved; the
brave garrison, under its able commander Major-General Sir
J. Llttler, not only maintained a firm attitude of defence, but
had the satisfaction so grateful to brave soldiers, of skilfully
forming a junction with the Umballa force, and gallantly
taking part in the discomfiture of the enemy which had so
recently invested them.
The Governor-General again cordially congratulates his ,
Excellency General Sir llugh Gou:h, on the great
and important victories obtained by the army under his im-
mediate command.
The Governor-General, in the name of the Government
and of the people of India, greatfully acknowledges the noble
services rendered to the public by his Excellency the Com-
mander in Chief, by all the general and other officers, and by
the non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the brave Indian
army.
The Governor-General's thanks are due to all the infantry
regiments of her Majesty, and to the Ist European Light In-
fantry of the East India Company's service, all of which regi-
ments distinguished themselves by the most devoted courage
in braving the destructive fire of the enemy's batteries, and
valiantly capturing their guns.
The Governor-General offers his thanks more especially to
her Majesty's 3d Dragoons, who on all these occasions sought
.opportunities of useful conflict with the enemy, and fought
with that superiority over their opponents which skill and
discipline impart to brave and determined men.
The European and Native Artillery maintained their ac-
customed character for steady, unyielding courage, when ex-
posed to a very heavy and galling fire.
The Governor General's thanks are justly due to the brave
infantry of the Native army, whose valour so mainly contri-
buted to these victories, and he cannot withhold his admira-
tion for the patience and perseverance with which they en-
dured privations inseparable from forced marches.
The Artillery, Cavalry, and Infantry, united together by
the bonds of mutual esteem, may be confident. that, when
they rely on each other's courage, the three arms, combined
