LONDON, WEDNESDAY, •SEPTEMBER 27, 1848.

Lieutenant, or, as he must now be designated,
Major Envi'aßDES, is rapidly confirming his reputation
as a military commander of precocity and genius, as
well as of courage and enterprize. Our last dis-
patches from Ilindostan, published in our impression
of Monday evening, detailed the brilliant victory
tined by this distinguished officer on the Ist of
July at the village of Sadoosam. The success of
that enooun ter is the realization of the hopes inspired
;w the result of the important bathe fought by his
xtempore forces on the anniversary of Waterloo.
The aggregated power of the troops under Major
i'.DWARDES himself, under Colonel CORTLANDT, and
under the Oriental auxiliary, the Nawaub of Baha-
Nrulpore, conquered, not partially but conclusively and
triumphantly, the numerous and infuriated legionaries
of the insurgent chieftain. Beyond these the army of
the European victors was enhanced considerably by
the aid of the Seikh soldiers, under the personal di-
rection of the Sheik Ematim-oon-D BEN, and the
result of this sudden concentration of vigour where it
was least anticipated, was the complete discomfiture
'of the rebel, and the immediate dispersion of his fol-
lowers. So decisive was the victory gained by the
niglish and their allies, under the command of the
no-We-hearted subaltern, that the MOOLR&J himself
—struck down from the howdah of his elephant by
the concussion of a cannon ball—only narrowly
aped by springing from the dust into a saddle, and
seeking shelter by flight within the walls of the
eiy,ital of the Mooltanees. The sedate pomp of his
pegeantries was changed into the undignified
Amay of a fugitive.
Without exaggerating the importance of what has
recently been ;accomplished on the frontiers of our
Oriental possessions, we may aver that nothing so
singularly abrupt and triumphant has occurred within
the circumference of the Eastern peninsula since the
*arnsion of the countries north of the Coleroon by the
buccaneering retainers of the warlike HTDER. The
§udden outbreak of rebellion, carrying every-
thing before it, and threatening to set all
the civil and military influences of the Com-
pany at defiance—the equally sudden advance
of a young Lieutenant isolated in the midst of
an ivisurgent population—are without any direct
parallel more recent in date than the occurrence to
v }rich we have already alluded as having transpired
uring the administration of liasrusos—when, ac-
cording to the eloquent words of the historian, " an
trmy of ninety thousand men, far superior in disci-
line and efficiency to any other native force which

,n be found in India, came pouring through those
wild passes which, worn by mountain tore
rents and dark with jungle, lead down
from the table-land of Mysore to the plains of the
C',arnatic." What Sir EYRB COOTA was in his old
1;a under the inspiration of the heir of Daylesford,
Lieutenant EDIVARDES has proved himself to be in
his extreme youth, without the guidance of an elder
CARNOT. The tide of calamity has been turned
1-_,Ack even at its flood, in obedience to the beck of
his hand, and the prestige of the name of England
far from having been in any respect diminished
I y the recent catastrophes in the neighbourhood of
Lahore, have been only enhanced to an unprece-
,Lmted extent by the genius and the daring, and
the promptitude of a single man, 'acting
upon his own responsibility ! it will have
been observed with satisfaction that, in compliance
with a suggestion transmitted to the Council at Cel-
l:Us by the British Resident at Lahore, reinforce-
,;.ntEto the amount of six thousand five hundred
!:n, commanded by Major-General Winstr, have
-n forwarded to the united forces of Major ED-
' 03„DEs and Colonel CORTLANDT, and assisted by
Seikh EMAUM-OOD DEEN and the Nawaub
6+l Blhawulpore—these reinforcements, in de-
11'1, comprising 500 artillery, 1,500 cavalry,
1,000 European, and 3,000 Native infantry,
Y.) doubt, therefore, can be any longer en-

t" ``'}fined as to the ultimate pacification of the dis•
turd districts, and the final digeomfiture of the in-

rent 111001PRAJ, now shut up within the ramparts
..looltan. The victories of the 18th of June, and
L=lo9equently of the Ist of Judy, have afforded a bril-
l. t prelude to the arrival of the regular troops, and
I tend, together wi,th the increase of alarm on the part
0, the rebels, to lead to a speedy capitulation. When
thus much has been accomplished, it must not be for-
gotten, either by the Company or by the Government,
that to MajorEnwAanzs is due the sole glory, in the
first instance, of having conceived the plan by which
we were extricated from our somewhat appalling dif-
ficulties, and of having afterwards carried out that
very hazardous and elaborate scheme in the midst of
a thousand bewilderinents and embarrassments.
To have nominated him to the local rank
of I,lajor by brevet, to have decorated tie
hatton-hole of his uniform with a mark of honour
irtdikotive of the personal satisfaction ark
his Soya -
HER" is surely tot sufficient in any respect for the
subeenntial good accrang to the awe of our army and
the authority of our command in the length and
breadth of the Oriental Empire, and accruing to them
moreover from the spontaneous evidence of skill on
the past of this young and enterprising soldier. The
inestimable advantage of his example will be lost if the
Government evinces its usual passion for parsimony,

It inth ithi a'c'on§iddrable time past been the prac

liounce in the-most strenuous and indignant tErms
