Camp, Tang-ho, August 24.

Sir,—l have the honour to report for th• information of
his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief the result of the
operations of the force under my command, employed in the
advance from Pehtang, and the attack of the Tartar post
at the Sinho entrenchment.

The troops left their billets at four a.m. of the 12th inst.,
and moved out in the following order :—An advanced guard
of 200 men of the 3d Buffs, with two Armstrong guns of
Milward's Battery, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel
Sargent, 3d Buffs. Four Armstrong guns, Milward's Bat •
tery ; 23d Company Royal Engineers ; 3d Buffs ; Bth Regi-
ment Punjaub Infantry ; 44th Regiment ; Rolton's Rocket
Battery ; Royal Marines ; Madras Sappers and Miners ;
Right Wing 67th Regiment ; Reserve Ammunition ; Hos-
pital Stretchers, &c. ; Rear-guard; Left Wing 67th Regi-
ment.

CAVALRY BRIGADE.

2 squadrons King's Dragoon Guards.
Probyn's Horse.
3 guns, Stirling's Battery.

Fane's Horse.

The head of the column moved at 4 a.m., but though two
days' hard work had been devoted to repairing the roads,
the deep tenacious mud rendered them so difficult that it
was not till half-past seven that the rear of the column
cleared the gate of Pehtang.

According to his Excellency's instructions, the force
above enumerated struck off from the causeway by a track
to the right, at half a mile from Pehtang. The Com-
mander-in-Chief was himself a witness of the extreme
difficulties which had to be overcome in extricating the
troops from the inundated town of Pehtang, and advanc-
ing them through the deep mud, in which gun-wheels
were frequently imbedded. axle-deep. It cost two hours'
hard labour to the troops to traverse the first two miles.
I advanced by brigades in line of contiguous columns at
quarter distance, my front covered by the advanced guard
of 200 3d Buffs, and Milward's Battery, under command of
Lieutenant-Colonel Sargent. The cavalry was formed on
my right.

A considerable halt was necessary to enable the rear to
struggle through the heavy ground, and Close up, for I was
aware that I was liable to attack from the north as well as
from the enemy in front.
Observing the approach of the allied columns to the
direct attack of the entrenchment on the causeway, and
perceiving the enemy in great force both in that entrench-
ment and in front of the village of Sinho, I marched
directly towards them, taking their position in flank, and
threatening their line of retreat.

On arriving within 1,500 yards, Milward's Armstrong
guns opened on the enemy. These were the first shots fired
with that weapon in war, and the range and accuracy of
their fire excited the admiration of the force. The Tartar
horsemen were surprised by the fire, but not shaken. After
some hesitation they streamed out in a long line through a
passage across the marsh -which separated us, and forming
with great regularity and quickness, enveloped my force in
a great circle of skirmishers. The northern portion formed
by the cavalry, known to be in that direction, who hitherto
kept out of sight, seemed suddenly to rise in position from
the plain.

As soon as the enemy's movements were clearly defined,
I sent to Brigadier Pattle, commanding the cavalry, direct-
ing him to detach a troop to protect my right rear, and to
take the opportunity to charge which the enemy so boldly
offered him.

I then had the satisfaction of seeing the admirable charge
of my cavalry, by which the Tartar horde, in front of them,
was driven from the field in disorder. Milward's Battery
had continued to play upon the enemy as long as it was pos-
sible to do so without injury to our advancing cavalry.
About this time Stirling's half-battery, which, being
unable to follow the movements of cavalry in such heavy
ground, had been left with an escort of 30 of Fane's Horse,
under Lieut. Macgregor, was charged by a body of Tartar
cavalry of very superior numbers. Lieut. Macgregor gal-
lantly led his small party against the enemy and defeated
them, many Tartars being killed, and Lieut. Macgregor and
many of his men being severely wounded.
Whilst this was going on my attention had been diverted
from my right front to a large party of Tartars, who were
steadily approaching the Buffs, on the left front, apparently
regardless of the fire of two of Milward's guns, under
Lieut. Harvey, of the Rifles, of the advanced guard, and of
Rolton's rockets. They advanced to within 450 yards, and
bore unflinching for a considerable time such a fire as would
have tried any troops in the world. The 4th brigade, under
Brigadier Reeves, being similarly attacked at the same
time, replied with a steady fire, which did considerable
execution.

At length the courageous endurance of the enemy began
to give way, and they fled from the field with precipita-
tion.
I then advanced my force towards the western end of the
village of Sinho, and joined the allied columns.
At no time throughout the day had we opportunity of
coming into contact with the enemy's infantry.
Trusting that the objects intended by his Excellency have
been carried out by the force under my command, I beg to
bring to his notice the excellent conduct and discipline of the
troops of all arms during a very trying day.
I am much indebted to the brigadiers commanding the
several brigades of cavalry and of infantry, and to the officer
commanding the field artillery, all of whom performed the
duties entrusted to them to my entire satisfaction.
I received the most valuable assistance from my divisional
and personal staff, whose labours were unremitting.
I beg to subjoin a list of officers whom I desire earnestly

to recommend to his Excellency's favourable consideration

WILLS AND BEQUEST/8.

The will of Major-General Henry Frederick
Lockyer, C. 8., K.H., Commander-in-Chief of the
forces in Ceylon, and acting Lieutenant-Governor
of that island, was administered to in the London
Court of Probate by his relict. It bears date so
fax back as the year 1828, and was drawn up by
him when Captain of the 3d Fusilier Buffs. It is
contained on one sheet of paper, and has not since
that time been altered, nor is there any codicil
added thereto. He appointed as his executors
Mr. Sergeant Merewethe; who, however, declined
to prove the will, and the other executor, Robert
Currey, Esq., of Gosport, died in the lifetime
of the General. In consequence of the sur-
viving executor renouncing the grant of pro-
bate, letters of administration, with the will
annexed, were granted to Ellis Ann Elizabeth
Lockyer, the relict, to whom the testator has left
the whole of his property of every description, his
daughter and only child having died at Malta so
recently as last year. The gallant Major. General
was in his 64th year, and died at sea, on his passage
homewards, on the 30th of August last.
The will of Marmaduke Robert Langdale, Esq.,
of Garston, Surrey, and of Gower-street, Bedford-
square, was proved in London on the 25th Oct.
by the executors, John IL Jourdan, Esq., Alfred
Langdale, Esq., the Rev. George A. Langdale
(two of the deceased's sons), and Francis
S. Clayton, Esq. The personalty was sworn
under £120,000. To his wife he has left a life
interest in the sum of £35,000, an immediate legacy
of £2OO, together with the furniture, plate, jewel-
lery, pictures, and other effects not otherwise speci-
fically disposed of; also the carriages and horses.
He has devisc'd his estates, situated in various parts
of Kent, Essex, and Suffolk, in separate portions to
each of his three sons, and on the decease of their
mother they take amongst them in separaßteobert
por-
tions the principal sum of £35,000. To the widow
and children of his deceased son, Marmaduke
he has given the sum of ;1:15,000. There are
legacies left to his executors, and to some
of the servants of his household, which are
duty. The
