Brigad es' which bad .neen detzched from. the Dekhan;
in the early partrofthe campaign, and :cf a..few
talions which had -effetled their e6+:-a,ne from
I was the more anxious-todefeat Corns, from its
being furnished with a numerous artillery. Owing
to the detention the Army met w; front a llctsvy
fall of rain, it was not until the 2f), h that it re.ach.,
ed a camp westward of the.Futtipoor. -Froni in.
telligence I received herd, of the rapid manner in
which the Mahtatta army moved, I determined to
leave the heavy Artillery, with a proper detablitraent
of Infantry for its prote6ion; and to pursue the
Enemy by forced marches,' in the hope of being able
the more speedily to come- up with hinio On the.
31st the Army encamped' at a short distance froni
the, ground which the Enemy had quitted the smite
morning. Possessed'of this intelligence, I resolved
to make an effort to overtake hint with all the Ca.'
valry of the Army, in the intention of delaying
him, by a light engagement, until the Infantry
should be able to come up, To this end the Ca..
~valry marched at twelve last night, and having'per•
formed a distance of more 'than ¢o miles in 24 floury;
came up with the Enemy this morning, soon after
day-break, From the sudden manner in which I
came upon •the,Enerny, I ventured to make an at- •
tack with the Cavalry alone, supported by the
mounted Artillery ; but finding hint too advao-
tageoasly posted to hope for complete success with.:
'out too much risk, I drew the Cavalry mit of:reach
of cannon shot, and waited the arrival of the
try. Soon after their arrival, I made a general
attack upon the Enemy's positiim,' the' result Of
which I have the satisfaaion of informing yoUr Ex
collency, has been a clrriplete, tliongh I sincerely
lament to add, dear-bought vidory,

The Enemy were totally defeated; with 'the loss
of all their cannon, turribrilS, and has-gage; but this.
important advantage 'has- only been gained by the
lOss •of many it..limbic' Officers, the. principal of
whom are' Major.qeneral 'Ware, :Colonel Vandc-

NY LORIS,
In my dispatch of yesterd,iy's dare I did myself
the, honotti to state, for your LOrdihip's informa.:
tion;some particulars of the march .of the Amy
from Agra to the camp it' now occupies, together
,with the general result-- of the attion which took
place yesterday. • I now have the honour to 'send
•your Excellency. a, More detailed account of that
'affair.

After a foreed'inarch of is miles, Which was per-
formed by the Cavalry in a lit ile more than six hours,
I came up with the •Enemy, who appeared to be
upon their retreat, and. in such confusion, that I was
tempted to try the effea olan attack, upon him with
the'(avalry alone. By cutting the embankment of
a large reservoir of water; -the Enemy had rendered
the road very difficult to pass, which caused a con-
siderable delay chi advance of the Cavalry ; of
this the Enemy had availed himiell to take an ad_
.
vantageons.ptisr,- having his right upon a rividet,
which we.had to cross, anti his left upon the vil-
lage of SasWatee ; the whole of his front- was -amply
provided with artillery. I was prevented from
covering' his change in the Situation,of the Enemy,
by the quantity or dust,- when once clear of
the water,. totally obscured him from our sight ;
I therefore prOceeded in the etecution.of my. design,
by which Limped to pr.:vent .his retreat into the
hills,. and secure his guns; .direCting the advanced
guard and First .l3tig.t.le Cdtmnarided by,Colonel
Vandeleur, upon the pint" Where I had observed the
&env. motiOn; .but prOved.tcriiethe. left
Of his new position ; the remainder of the Cavalry.
I ordered to 'attack in succe,sion, its soon as
_they
Could form after passing the rivulet.
The charge of. the advanced guard under M4-ir
Griffith, and that of the first rigatte led by Colut,el
Vandeleuf, was' made with Mitch ,gallantry; the
Enemy's line was forced, and the Cavalry pc:lett-At_
cti into the village;- :they still, hovVeVer, continued
to be exposed to a :most pang fire of cannon and
musketry, which, as it was. ithpassibi:e -Under such
to, torn) the squadrons for a fresh at-
'tack, determine&me w The guns --
which had fallen into our• hanlis, could ,tiot, be
.bronght away from the 'want of bullocks. _ In this
chargt::Colonel Vatideleur fell, mortally wounded ;
•in.hirn the service has lost a tnost valuable Officcr.,---:„:
The attacks of the other Brigades were condiifted
With the
.same- spirit ; but after taking several of
tbe Enemy's guns, being still fired upon without
being able to discover the Enetny, they retired in
goot4 order, retaining pcissessitm ut a pot pf the •

utiliery. In the performance of this service, the
,third Brigade, consisting of His Majesty's 29th
Regiment, and the 4, h Regiment of Native Cavalry,
under the command of that meritorious Officer Col.
Dilacan, met my entire approbation.
The Infantry having marched at three, A. I.
arrived upon the banks of the rivulet about eleven
o'clock. After so long a march, it was absolutely
necessary to allow some time for the men to refte,h
themselves, during which the Enemy sent in to say,
that if certain terms. were allowed them, they weae
willing to surrender their .guns. Anxious to pre-
vett the further effusion of blood, I diretted a letter
to be written, acquiescing in their proposals, and
allowing them an hour to decide. In the mean
time, the several columns for the attack were form-
ed. The Infantry formed in two columns upon the
left ; the first, composed of the right wing, under
the command of Major-General Ware, was desfiried
to gain the Enemy's right flank, which he had
thrown back since the morning, leaving a consider-
able space between it and the rivulet, and to assault
the village of Sasvraree; the second, composed of
the left wing under Major-General St. John, was
to support the first column. , The third Brigade of
Cavalry, under Colonel Macan, was to support the
Infantry. The second Brigade, under Lieut.-Col,
Vandeleur, was detached to the right, to be ready
to take advantage of any confusion in the Enemy's
line, and to attack him upon his retreat. The Bri-
gade under Colonel Gordon composed the reserve,
and was formed between the second and third Bri-
gades. As many of the field-pieces as could be
brought up with the gallopers attached to the Ca-
valry, 'formed four different batteries.
At the expiration of the time which I had allowed
the Enemy to decide, I ordered the Infantry to ad-
vance ; as soon as they became exposed to the Ene-
my's guns, the four batteries commenced their fire,
and continued to advance, though opposed by a great
auperiority, both in number and weight of metal.
When the 76th Regiment, which headed the at-
tack, had arrived at the_point from which I intend.
ed to make the charge, they were so much exposed
to the Enemy's fir;, and losing men so fast, that I
judged,it prefefable to,
_proceed to the attack with
that Regiment, and as many of the Native Infantry
as Itacl-closed to the, front, _ to losingatime. in waiting
tool' the remainder of the column should be able. to •
'form, the march of which bad been let-added by the
impediments in the advance.
As soon as this handful of heroes were arrived
within reach of the 'Enemy's cannister shot, a most
tremendous fire was opened upon them. The loss
they sustained 'was very severe, and sufficient Alone
to prevent 'a regular advance. At this noouent the
Enemy's Cavalry attempted to charge, but were
repulsed by the fire of this gallant body : they,
however, rallied at a short distance, and assumed
so menacing a posture, that I
_thought it advisable-
to order them to be attacked by the Cavalry. This ,
service fell to the share of His Majesty's 29th Re-
giment, commanded by Capt. Wade (Major s".lrif-
tith having at that instant been onfortunately killed
by a cannon-shot), and was performed with the
,
greatest gallantry, and in a manner which entttlei
Capt. Wade, and every Officer and Soldier in the •
Regiment, to my wartnekt ackno.wledgatentae The
remainder of the first column of Infantry arrived
just in time to join in the attack of the Enemy's
reserve, which was formed in the rear of his line,
ith its left upon the village of Saswatee, and its
right thrown back.
About this time Major-General Ware fell dead,
his head _being carried off by a cannon shot. He
was a gallant Officer, and one whose loss I deeply .1
lament.. On his death, the command'of this column
devolved upon Colonel IVPDonald, who, though
wounded, continued to acquit himself in this itn.
portant command very much to my satisfatliOn.
The Enemy opposed a vigorous resistance to the,
last, and it was nut until he had lost his guns, that '
he abandoned his post. Even then,'his left sing
tlid not fly, but attempted to retreat in good order.,
In- this, howe yet, they were frustrated by His
Majesty 27th Regiment and the fide Rtgiment of
Native Cavalry, under the command af Lieut.-col.
Vaadeleur, who broke in upon the column, cut se-
veral to pieces, and 'drove the rest in prisoners,
whit the whole of the baggage.
Severe as the loss, has been which we have sustain, a
edsin the atchievanent of this compete ViCtory,
that of the Enemy has been fat greater. With
the exception of upwards of 2000, who have been
taken prisoners (of which number I have only de.
rained the principal Officers, amounting to 481,
baye reason to believe that very feva escaped the ge_
neral slaughter. •
.It would be a violation of nay feelitg.s, were I to
Anse my .dispatc4 withoht bearing teionony to the
gallant conduit uf Major M'Leod and Captain Ro-
bertson, of His Majesty's 76th
.Regiment, and of
every Officer and Soldier of 'that inestimable Corps,
in the attack of the village of Saswaree. tylajor
Gregory too, at the head of the zil 'Battalion tech'
Regiment of tiative Infantry, in the same service,
displayed a cooduA highly meritoridos...
In the list of those Officers who par.tieularly dis.
tinguished thetnielves, 1 cannot omit the names of
Lieutenant V_Vallace, of His Kijesty's zoili
ment, who was entrusted with the Con4tnand of a ,
Battery of Gallopers,, nor that of Lieut. Dixon, of
the 6th' Regiment N:itive Cayalty, who was ens-
ployed in the sante-service.. * .
The Whole of my Staff upon this, as upop. every
former occasion, are entitled to a large-share of
praise, and to my warmest gratitude. The zeal
which they displayed upon this memorable day, 'is
too plainly proved
,by the enclosed returns of the
killed and wounded.. have sustained a tareat loss
by the death of Major Wto..Camphell, the Deputy
Quarter-master General, and by that of my Aid-de
Camp, Lieut. Duval, of Ilia M., jety',s t oth .Light
Dragoons, who was a young; man of great promise.
Herewith I have the honour to enclose returns of
the Ordnance and Colours which were captUred upon`
this occasion. '

P. S. In the hurry which I wrote try dispatch, of
yesterday's date, I fear I did nut explain to your
Lordship, that the Enemy's Corps, which we ha‘ie
ere. ated, comprised toe while of the fifteen reP,ular

Byttalinos, which hid beep sent from the Deean,
under the command of Monsieur Duderneg, and two
Battalions of the same description, which -had
escaped from Delhi. I "therefore have the satisf.l4-

annihilation of the whole of the regular farce in
Scindiah's service, commanded by French Officers.
