ommanding officers of regiments; but this dispatch is ne-
essarily completed in the utmost haste, and in the midst of
most important operations—l must, therefore, reserve to a
future opportunity the pleasing task of bringing especially
anti by name to the notice of Government the particular
merits of individual officers.
I cannot, however, refrain from expressing my deep sense
of obligation to the heads of the two principal departments.
Major- General Sir James Lumley was unfortunately pre-
vented by severe sickness from taking part in the active
duties of this !great.crisis. Major Grant, Deputy-Adjutant-
General, therefore, supplied his place, and it. is my duty to
uy how ably this has been done, and how great a loss I
ll'Ave endured by being deprived, for the present, of his ser-
vices, in consequence of two wounds which he received
whilst urging on the infantry to the final and decisive attack
of the enemy's batteries. Neither must I fail to record the
valuable aid which has upon this, as on a former campaign,
been afforded me by the Quarter-Master General, Lieute-
nant-Colonel Garden; his departmental arrangements de-
mand my highest commendation. Major-General Sir Harry
Smith having been appointed to the command of a division,
the charge of his office as Adjutant-General of her Majesty's
Forces devolved upon Lientenant Colonel Barr, who, not only
in the performance of these duties, but in every way in
which assistance can be rendered in active operations, has
been to me a most valuable staff officer. _ _ .

I have to thank you, Right Honourable Sir, for having
placed at my disposal the services of the officers of your staff,
and to thank them for the valuable assistance they afforded
me on this arduous day. It shall be my pleasing duty to
mention them individually, with the officers of my own per-
sonal staff, in the recommendation list I shall have the honour
of forwarding, at an early date, to Government.—l have, &c.,
H. GOUGH, General, Commander-in-Chief.

3 brass gong, 3 in. 6-tenths, 6 pounders.
1 brass gun, 2 in, 9-tenths, 3 pounder.
Remarks,
lotal number of guns captured, 15. Tt was impossible
to compute the quantity of metal in these guns, but it was
evident that they were much heavier than those of a similar
calibre in the Bengal artillery.
The carriages were all M good repair, with the exception
Aoi • one or two struck by oar shot. The whole were destroyed
;an, the guns left in the fort of Mood see.
