enormous odds and fearful disadvantages, against
bop deferred, and through unceasing toil and wear
of body and mind, still holds ou day after day and
triumphs. The heavy guns of the assailants,
posted, almost in security, within 50 yards of the
entrenchments—so near, indeed, that the solicita-
tions, and threats, and taunts which the rebels ad-
dressed to the native defenders of the garrison
wore easily heard by those true-hearted men ; the
fire of the enemy's musketry, s- searching that it
penetrated the innermost retreat, of the women and
children, and of the wounded ; their desperate
attempts repeatedly made, to force an entry after
blowing in the defences ; the perpetual mining of
the works ; the weary night watching for the ex-
pected signal of relief ; and the steady waste of pre-
cious lives, until the number of English gunners
was reduced below that of the guns to be worked;
all these constitute features in a history which the
fellow-countrymen of the heroes of Lucknow will
be read with swelling hearts, and which will endure
for ever as a lesson to those who shall hope, by
treachery, numbers, or boldness in their treason,
to overcome the indomitable spirit of Englishmen.
A complete list of the brave men who have fallen
has not yet reached the Governor-General in Conn-
oil, but the names mentioned in Brigadier Inglis's
report are in themselves a long and sad one.
Among those who have nobly perished in this
protracted strug4le Sir EL Lawrence will occupy
the first place in the thoughts of his fellow-country-
men. The Governor-General in Council has already
given expression to the deep sorrow with which he
mourns the loss of that distinguished man. But the
name of Sir H. Lawrence can never rise up without
calling forth a tribute of honour and admiration
from all who knew him.
-The Governor-General in Council has also to de-
plore the loss of Major Banks, an officer high in the
confidence of the Government of India, and who,
with the full approval of the Governor-General in
Council, had succeeded to the charge of Chief Corn-
missioner upon Sir H. Lawrence's death ; Lieut.-
Col. Case, her Majesty's 32d Regt., who was mor-
tally wounded while leading on his men at Chinhut
on June 29 ; of Capt. Radcliffe, whose conspicuous
bravery attracted the notice cf Sir H. Lawrence for
his gallant conduct while in command of the Much-
hee Bhowun; of Captain Fulton, of the Engineers,
whose indefatigable exertions are thankfully re-
corded by Brigadier Inglis ; of Major Anderson,
the Chief Engineer, who, contending against deadly
sickness, did not cease to give his valuable aid to his
commander ; of Captain Simons, Artillery, mor-
tally woundd at Chinhut ; of Lieuts. Shepherd
and Arthur, 7th Light Cavalry, killed at their
posts ; of Capt. M'Cabe, her Majesty's 32d, who
fell while leading his fourth sortie ; and of Captain
Mansell, of the same corps, who fell a victim to
cholera.
The Governor-General in Council laments also to
find in this melancholy record the names of Mr.
Lucas, a traveller in India, and of Mr. Boyson.
These two gentlemen, acting as volunteers, received
charge of one of the most dangerous outposts, and
held it at the cost of their lives.

The good services of her Majesty's 32d Regiment
throughout this struggle have been remarkable.
To the watchful courage and sound judgment of
its commander, Brigadier Inglis, the British Go-
vernment owes a heavy debt of gratitude ; and
Major Lowe, Capt. Bassano, Lieutenants Edmon-
stoune, Foster, Harmar, Lawrence, Clery, Cooke,
Browne, and Charlton, and Quartermaster Strib-
bling, of this corps, and Captain O'Brien, of her
Majesty's 84th Regiment, are praised by their
superior as having severally distinguished them-
selves. Of the 7tli Light Cavalry, Colonel Master,
to whom was intrusted the command of a most
exposed post, Capt. Boileau, and Lieut. Warner,
are entitled to the thanks of the Governor-General
in Council.

The Governor-General in Council recogniss with
pleasure the distinction accorded to Major Apthorp,
Captains Kemble and Saunders, Lieutenants Bar-
well and Keir, of the 41st Native Infantry, as well
as to Captain Germon and Lieutenant Aitken, of
the 13th Native Infantry, the latter of whom com-
manded an important position in the defenc( s with
signal courage and success ; to Captain Anderson,
of the 25th, and to Lieut. Graydon, of the 44th
Native Infantry.
His Lordship in Council desires to acknowledge
the excellent service of Captain Dinning and
Lieutenant Sewell, of the 71st Native Infantry ;
and of Lieutenant Langmore, of the same regi-
ment, who held continuously a post open to attack,
and entirely without shelter for himself or for
his men by night or by day, as well as of Lieutenant
Worsley, of the same corps ; Lieut. Tullock, 58 h
N.I. ; of Lieut. Hay, 48th N. 1., who was placed
under the Engineers to assist in the arduous duties
of that department ; and of Ensign Ward, of the
same regiment, who, when the officers of Artillery
were most disabled, worked the mortars with good
effect ; also of Lieut. Graham, of the 11th N. 1.,
and of Lieut. Meaham, of the 4th Oude Irregulars.
Of the.native officers and men of the 13th, 48th,
and 71st Regiments of Native Infantry, who have
been among the defenders of the Residency, it is
difficult t• speak too highly. Their courageous
constancy under the severest trials is worthy of all
honour.

The medical officers of the garrison are well en.
titled to the cordial thanks of the Government o
India. The attention, skill, and energy evinced
by Superintending-Surgeon Sco t ; Assistant-Sur-
geon Boyd, her Majesty's 32d Foot ; Assistant-
Surgeon Bird, of the Artillery ' • Surgeon Campbell,
7th Light Cavalry ; Surgeon Brydon, 71st N. I. ;
Surgeon Ogilvie, Sanitary Oenynissioser ; Assist-
ant-Surgeon Fayrer ; Assistant-Surgeon Partridge,
2d Oude Irregulars • Assistant-Surgeons Greenhow
and Darby, and of Mr. Apothecary Thompson, are
spoken of in high terms by Brigadier Inglis.
To Dr. Brydon especially the Governor-General
in Council would address his hearty congratula-
tions. This officer, after passing through the Cabul
campaign of 1841-42, wasincluded in the illustrious
garrison who maintained their position in Jellala-
bad. He may now, as one of the herces of Luck-
now, claim to have witnessed and taken part in an
achievement even more conspicuous as an example
of the invincible energy and enduring courage of
British soldiers.
The labours of the officers of Engineers—Lieuts.
Anderson, Hutchinson, and Innes—and of the Ar-
tillery—Lieut. Thomas (Madras), and Lieuts. Mac-
farlane and Bonham, receive, as they deserve, hon-
ourable mention, which the Governor-General in
Council is glad to confirm by his cordial approval,
The services rendered by Mr. M'Rae, civil engi-
neers, Mr. Schilling, principal of the Martiniere,
and by Mr. Cameron, a gentleman who had visited
Oude for commercial purposes, merit the especial
thanks of the government of India.
The Governor-General in Council has read with
great satisfactioh the testimony borne by Brigadier
Inglis to the sedulous attention given to the spi-
ritual comforts of his comrades by the Rev. Mr.
Polehampton and the Rev. Mr. Harris. The first,
unhappily, has not survived his labours.
The officers of the staff have rendered excellent
service. That of Lieut. James, Sub-Assistant Com-
missary General, calls for the especial thanks of the
Government of India. This officer, although
severely wounded at Chinhut, resolutely continued
to give valuable aid to the brigadier ; and it is
mainly owing to his forethought and care that the
supplies of the garrison have sufficed through the
hardships of the siege.
Capt. Wilson, 13th Native Infantry, Deputy-
.Assistant-Adjutant-General, has evinced courage,
activity, and sound judgment in a very high de-
gree.
Lieut. Hardinge, officiating as Deputy-Quarter-
master-General, as well as commanding the Sikh
cavalry of the garrison, has proved himself worthy
to bear his soldier's name.
Lieut. Barwell, 71st Native Infantry, Fort-Ad-
jutant, is honourably mentioned ; and Lieut. Birch,
of the 71st Native Infantry, who acted as aide-de-
camp to Brigadier Inglis throughout the siege, has
discharged his duties iu a manner which has called
forth emphatic praise from his commander.
The officers of the civil service have not been be-
hind their military brethren in courage and zeal.
The assistance rendered by Mr. Couper to Briga-
dier Inglis, as previously to Sir H. Lawrence, has
been most valuable.
Messrs. Thornhill and Capper were wounded
during the siege, and Mr. Martin, deputy-commis-
sioner, and Capt. Carnegie, assistant-commissioner,
have earned the especial thanks of Brigadier Inglis.
To all these brave men, and to their brother offi-
cers and comrades of every rank and degree, Euro-
pean and native, who have shared the same dangers
and toils with the same heroic spirit, the Governor-
General in Council tenders his warmest thanks.
The officers and men of her Majesty's regiments
must receive their full measure of acknowledgment
from a higher authorii y than that of the Governor-
General in Council; but it will be the pleasing duty
of his Lordship in Council to express to her Ma-
jesty's Government and to the Hon. Court of Direc-
tors of the East India Company, in the strongest
terms, the recommendation of them to that favour
for which Major-General Sir James Outram so
justly pleads.
Meanwhile it is a gratification to the Governor-
General in Council to direct, in a General Order of
this day, that the rewards and honours therein spe-
cified shall be at once awarded to the officers and
men of the two services and to the civilians respec-
tively.
This notice must not be closed without mention
of tho.e noble women who, little fitted toi talioipda.rt
in such scenes, ha; e assumed so clieeritil y,.
charged so earnestly, their task of charity
minis-
tering to sickness and pain. It is likely_ that to
themselves the notoriety of praise publicly given.
May be distasteful, yet the Governor-General m

Council cannot forego the pleasure of doing justics
to the names of Birch, Polehampton, Barbor, and
Gall, and of offering to those whose acts have so
adorned them his tribute of respectful admiration
and gratitude.
The history of the defence of the Residency of
Lucknow does not end with the narrative of Briga-
dier Inglis. But no full reports of the course of
events at Lucknow subsequently to the junction of
Sir Henry Havelock's force with the defenders, or
of the final and effectual relief by the advance of
the Commander-in-Chief, have yet been received.
It is known, however, that the success which has
carried joy to so many aching hearts has been
clouded by the death, within the last few days, of
one of the first soldiers of India—Major-General
Sir Henry Havelock.
The Governor-General in Council deeply deplores
the loss of this able leader and truly brave man,
who has been taken from the service of his country
at a time when he can least be spared, though not
before he had won for himself lasting renown, and
had received at the hands of his Sovereign the gra-
cious and prompt recognition of his merits.

Secretary to the Government of India.
Mili'ary Department.

From Brigadier Inglis, commanding Garriso❑ of Luck-
now, to the Secretary to Government Military
Department, Calcutta.

Dated Lucknow, Sept. 26.
Sir,—ln consequence of the very deeply to be lamented
death of Brighelier-General Sir H. M. Lawrence, K.C.8.,
late in command of the Oude Field Force, the duty of
narrating the military events which have occurred at
Lucknow since the 29th June last has devolved upon
myself.
On the evening of that day several reports reached Sir
Henry Lawrence that the rebel army, in no very con-
siderable force, would march from Chinhut (a email
village about eight miles distant on the road to Fyzabad)
on Lucknow on the following morning ; and the late
brigadier-general therefore determined to make a strong
reconnaieanoe in that direction, with the view, if possible,
of meeting the force at a disadvantage, either at its
entrance into the suburbs of the city, or at the bridge
across the Gokral, which is a small stream intersecting
the Fyzabld road, about half-way between Lucknow and
Chinbut.
The force destined for this service, and which was
composed as follows, moved out at 6 a.m. on the morning
of the 30th June :—Artillery : 4 guns of No. Horse
Light Field Battery, 4 ditto of No. 2 Oude Field Battery,
2 ditto of No. 3 ditto ditto, an 8-inch howitzer. Cavalry :
Troop of Volunteer Cavalry ; 120 troopers of detach-
ments belonging to let, 2d, and 31 Regiments of Oude
Irregular Cavalry. Infantry : 300, her Majesty's 22c1 ;
150, 13th Native Infantry ; 60, 48th Native Infantry ;
20, 71st Native Infantry (Sikhs).
The troops, mi-led by the reports of wayfarers—who
stated that there were few or no men between Lucknow
and Chinhut—proceeded somewhat further than had
been originahy intended, and suddenly fell in with the
enemy, who had up to that time eluded the vigilance of
the advanced guard by concealing themselves
behind a long line of trees in overwhelming
numbers. The European force and howitzer, with
the Native Infantry, held the foe in cheee for some
time, and had the six guns of the Oude artillery been
faithful, and the Sikh cavalry shown a better front, the
day would have been won in spite of an immense dispa-
rity in numbers. But the Oude artillerymen and drivers
were traitors. They overturned the guns and ditches,
cut the traces off their horses, and abandoned them,
regardless of the remonstrances and exertions of their
own officers, and of those of Sir Henry Lawrence's staff,
headed by the Brigadier-General in person, who himself
drew his sword upon there rebels. Every effort to
induce them to stand having proved ineffectual, the force
expo-ed to a vastly superior fire of artillery, and com-
pletely outflanked on both sides by an overpowering
into
our of infantry and cavalry, which actually got
our rear, was compelled to retire with the loss of three
pieces of artillery, which fell into the hands of the enemy,
in consequence of the rank treachery of the Oade gun.
ners, and with a very grievous list of killed and wounded.
The heat was dreadful, the gun ammunition was e
pended, and the almost t ital want of cavalry to protect
our rear made our retreat most disastrous.

All the officers behaved well, and the exertions of the
small body of Volunteer Cavalry—only 40 in number—
under Captain Radcliffe, 7th Light Infantry, were most
praiseworthy. Sir H. Lawrence subsequently conveyed
his thanks to myself, who had, at his request, accom-
panied him upon this occasion (Colonel Case being in
command of her Majesty's 32d.) He also expressed his
approeation of the way in which his staff—Capt. Wilson,
Officiating Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General ; Lieut.
James, Sub-Assistant Commissary-General • Captain
Edge, Officiating Military Secretary ; and Mr. Couper,
Civil Service, the last of whom had acted as Sir Henry
Lawrence's Aide-de-Camp from the commencement of
the disturbances—had conducted themselves throughout
this arduous day. Sir Henry lukher particularly men-
tioned that he would bring the gallant conduct of Capt.
Radcliffe and of Lieutenant Bonham, of the artillery
(who worked the howitzer successfully until incapaci-
tated by a wound), to the prominent notice of the
government of India. The manner in which Lieu•
tenant Birch, 71st N. 1., cleared a village with
a party of Sikh skirmishers, also elicited the admiration
of the Brigadier-General. The conduct of Lieutenant
Hardinge, who, with his handful of horses, covered the
retreat of the rear guard, was extolled by Sir Henry,
who expressed his intention of mentioning the services of
this gallant officer to his lordship in council. Lieut.-Col.
Case, who commanded her Majesty's 32d, was mortally
wounded whilst gallantly leading on his men. The ser-
vice had not a more deserving officer. The command
devolved on Capt. Stevens, who also received a death
wound shortly afterwards. The command then fell to.
Capt. Mansfield, who has since died of cholera. A list *
of the casualties on this occasion accompanies the
despatch.
It remains to report the siege operations.
It will be in the recollection of his lordship in council
that it was the original intention of Sir H. Lawrence to
occupy not only the Residency, but also the fort called
the Muchhee Bhowue, an old dilapidated edifice, hastily
repaired for the occasion, though the defences were oven
at the last moment very far from complete, and were
moreover commanded by many houses in the city. The
situation of the Muohhee Bhowun with regard to the
Residency has already been described to the Government
of India.
The untoward event of the 30th June so far diminished
the whole available force that we had not a sufficient
number of men remaining to occupy both positions. The
Brigadier General, therefore, on the evening of the Ist
July, signalled to the garrison of the Muchhee Bhowun
to evacuate and blow up that fortress in the course of
the night. The orders were ably carried out, and at 12
p.m. the force marched into the Residency, with their
guns and treasure, without the loss of a man, and shortly
afterwards the explosion of 240 barrels of gunpowder and
6,000,000 ball cartridges, which were lying in the maga-
zine, announced to Sir Henry Lawrence and his
officers, who were anxiously waiting the report, the
complete destruction of that post and all that it
contained. If it had not been fur this wise and strategic
measure no member of the Lucknow garrison, in all
probability, would have survived to tell the tale, for, as
has already been stated, the Muchhee Bhowun was
commanded from other parts of the tow., arid was
moreover indifferently provided with heavy artillery
ammunition, while the difficulty, suffering, and loss
which the Residency garrison, even with the reinforce-
ment thus obtained from the Muchhee Bhowun, has un-
dergone in holding the position is sufficient to show that,
if the original intention of holding both posts had been
adhered to, both would have inevitably fallen.
It is now my very painful duty to relate the calamity
which befel us at the commencement of the siege. On
the Ist July an 8-inch shell burst in the room in the Re-
sidency in which Sir H. Lawrence was sitting. The
missile burst between him and Mr. Cooper, close to
both ; but without injury to either. The whole of his
staff implored Sir Henry to take up other quarters, as
the Residency had then become the special target for the
round shot and shell of the enemy. This, however, he
jestingly declined to do, observing that another shell
would certainly never be pitched into that small room.
Bet Providence had ordained otherwise, for on the very
next day he was mortally wounded by the fragment of
another shell which burst in the same room, exactly at
the same spot. Captain Wilson, Deputy. Assistant
Adjutant-General, received a contusion at the same time.
The late lamented Sir H. Lawrence, knowing that his
last hour was rapidly approaching, directed me to assume
command of the troops, and appointed Major Banks to
succeed him in the office of chief commissioner. He
lingered in great agony till the morning of the 4th July,
when he expired, and the Government was thereby
deprived, if I may venture to say so, of the services of a
distinguished statesman and a most gallant soldier. Few
men have ever possessed to the same extent the power
which he enjoyed of winning the hearts of all those with
whom he came in contact, and thus ensuring the warmest
and most zealous devotion for himself and for the Go-
vernment which he served. The successful defence of the
position has been, under Providence, solely attributable
to the foresight which he evinced in the timely com-
mencement of the necessary operations, and the great
skill and untiring personal activity which he exhibited
in carrying them into effect. All ranks possessed such
confidence in his judgment and fertility of resources that
the news of his fall was received throughout the garrison
with feelings of consternation only second to the grief
which was inspired in the hearts of all by the loss of a
public benefactor and a warm personal friend. Feeling
as keenly and as gratefully as I do the obligations that the
whole of us are under to this great and good man, I treat
the Government in India wid pardon me for having at-
tempted, however, imperfectly, to pourtray them. In
him every good and deserving soldier loot a friend, and
a chief capable of discriminating, and ever on the alert
to reward merit, no matter how humble the sphere in
which it was exhibited.
The garrison had scarcely recovered the shock which
it had sustained in the loss of its revered and beloved
general, when it had to mourn the death of that able and
respected officer, Major Banks, the officiating chief com-
missioner, who received a bullet through his bead while
examining a critical outpost on July 21, and died with-
out a groan.
The description of our position, and the state of our
defences when the siege began, are so fully set forth in
the accompanying memorandum,± furnished by the gar-
rison engineer, that I shall content myself with bringing
to the notice of his lordship in council the fact that when
the blockade ties commeucetl only two of our bat.teries
were completed, part of tie dcfences were yet in an un-
finished condition, and t'ie buildings in the immediate
vicinity, which gave cover to the enemy, were only very

partially cleared away. Indeed, our heaviest losses have
been caused by the fire from the enemy's ,harpshooters
stationed in the adjoining mosques and houses of the
native nobility, the necessity of destroying which had
been repeatedly drawn to the attention of Sir Henry by
the staff of engineers ; but his invariable reply was,
" Spare the holy places, and private property too, as far
as possible;" and we have consequently suffered severely
from our very tenderness to the religious prejudices and
respect to the rights of our rebellious citizens and sol-
diery. As soon as the enemy had thoroughly completed
the investment of the Residency, they occupied these
houses, some of which were within easy pistol shot of
oar barricades, in immense force, and rapidly made loop-
holes on those sides which bore on our post, from which
they kept up a terrific and incessant fire day and night,
which caused many daily casualties, as there could tot
have been less than 8,000 men firing at one time into
our position. Moreover, there was no place in the whole
of our works that could be considered safe, for several of
the sick and wounded who were lying in the bunquetting
kall, which had been turned into an hospital, were killed
in the very contre of the building, and the widow of
Lieut. Doris and other women and children were shot
dead in a room into which it had not been previously
deemed possible that a bullet could penetrate. Neither
were the enemy idle in erecting batteries. They soon had
from 20 to 25 guns in position, sonic of them of very
large calibre. These were planted all round our post at
small distances, some being actually within 50 yards of
our defences, but in places where our own heavy guns
could not reply to them, while the perseverance and
ingenuity of the enemy in erecting barricades in front of
and around their guns in a very short time, rendered all
attempts to silence them by musketry entirely unavail-
ing. Neither could they be effectually silenced be shells,
by reason of their extreme proximity to our position, and
because, moreover, the enemy had recourse to digging
very narrow trenches about eight feet in depth in reur of
each gun, in which the men lay while our shells were
flying, and which so effectually concealed them, even
while working the gun, that our baffled eharpahooters
could only see their hands while in the act of loading.

The enemy contented themselves with keeping up
this incessant fire of cannon and musketry until the 20th
July, on which day, at 10 a.m., they assembled in very
great force all around our position, and exploded a heavy
mine inside our outer line of defences at the Water gate.
The mine, however, which was close to the Redan, and
apparently sprung with the intention of destroying that
battery, did no harm, but as soon as the smoke had
cleared away. the enemy boldly advanced, under cover
of a tremendous fire of cannon and musketry, with
the object of storming the Redan. But they
were received with such a heavy fire, that after a short
struggle they full back with much loss. A strong column
advanced at the same time to attack Innes's post, and
came on to within ten yards of the palisade, affording to
Lieut. Lougbnan, 13th N. 1., who commanded the posi-
tion, and his brave garrison, composed of gentlemen of
the Uncovenanted service, a few of her Majesty's 32d
Foot and of the 13th N. 1., an opportunity of distin-
guishing themselves, which they were not slow to avail
themselves of, and the enemy were driven back with
great slaughter. The insurgents made minor attacks at
almost every outpost, but were invariably defeated, and
at 2 p.m., they ceased their attempts to storm the place,
although their musketry fire and cannonading continued
to harass us unceasingly as usual. Matters proceeded
in this manner until Aug. 10, when the enemy made
another assault, having previously sprung a mine close
to the brigade mess, which entirely destroyed our de-
fences for the space of 20 feet, and blew in a great por-
tion of the outside wall of the house occupied by Mr.
Schilling's garrison. On the dust clearing away, a
breach appeared, through which a regiment could have
advanced in perfect order, and a few of the enemy came
on with the utmost determination, but were met with
such a withering flank fire of musketry from the officers
and men holding the top of the brigade mess, that they
beat a speedy retreat, leaving the more adventurous of
their numbers lying on the crest of the breach. While
this operation was going on, another large body ad-
vanced on the Cawnpore Battery, and succeeded in
locating themselves for a few minutes in the ditch. They
were, however, dislodged by hand grenades. At Captain
Anderson's post they also came boldly forward with
scaling ladders, which they planted against the wall; but
here, as elsewhere, they were met with the most indomit-
able resolution, and the leaders being slain, the rest fled,
leaving the ladders. and retreated to their batteries and
loop-holed defences, from whence they kept up for the
rest of the day an unusually heavy cannonade and mus-
ketry fire. On the 18th of August the enemy sprung
another mine in front of the Seikh lines with very fatal
effect. Captain Or (unattached). Lit:lite. Mecham
and Soppitt, who commanded the small body of drum-
mers composing the garrison, were blown into the air,
but providentially returned to earth with no further
injury than a severe shaking. The garrison, however,
were not so fortunate. No less than 11 men were buried
alive under the ruins, from whence it was impossible to
extricate them; owing to the tremendous fire kept up by
the enemy from houses situate net ten yards in front of
the breach. The explosion was followed by a general
assault of a less determined nature than the two former
efforts, and the enemy were consequently repulsed with-
out much difficulty. But they succeeded, under cover of
the breach, in establishing themselves in one of the
houses in our position, from which they were driven in
the evening by the bayonets of her Majesty's 32d and
82d Foot. On the sth Sept, the enemy made their last
serious assault. Havina exploded alarge mine, a few feet
short of the bastion of* the 18-pounder gun, in Major
Althorp's post, they advanced with large heavy scaling
ladders, which they planted against the wall, and
mounted, thereby gaining for an instant the embrasure
of gun. They were, however, speedily driven back with
loss, by hand grenades and musketry. A few minutes
subsequently they sprung another mine close to the bri-
gade mess, and advanced boldly ; but soon the corpses
strewed in the garden in front of the post bore testimony
to the fatal accuracy of the rifle and, musketry fire of the
gallant members of that garrison, and the enemy fled
ignominiously, leaving their leader—a fine-looking old
native officer—among the slain. Atotherposts they made
their similar attacks, but with less resolUtion, and every-
where with the same want of success. Their loss upon
this day must have been very heavy, as they came on
with much determination, and at night they were seen
bearing large numbers of their killed and wounded over
the bridges in the direction of cantonments. The above
is a faint attempt at a description of the four great strug-
gles which have occurred during this protracted season of
exertion, exposure, and suffering. His lordship in council
will perceive that the enemy invariably commenced his
attacks by the explosion of a mine, a species of offensive
warfare for the exerci-e of which our position was unfortu-
nately peculiarly billeted, and had it not been for the
most untiring vigilance on our part in watching and
blowing up their mines before they were completed, the
assaults would probably have been much more numerous,
and might, eerhap-e have ended in the capture of the
place. But by countermining in all directions we suc-
ceded in detecting and destroying no less than four of
the enemy's subterraneous advances towards important
positions, two of which operations were eminently suc-
cessful, as on one occasion no less than 80 of them were
blown into the air, and 20 suffered a similar fate on the
second explosion. The labour, however, which devolved

Hon. the Governor General in Council will feel that it
would be impossible to crowd within the limits of a
despatch even the principal events, much more the
individual acts of gallantry which have marked this
protracted struggle. But I can conscientiously declare
my conviction that few troops have ever undergone
greater hardship, exposed as they have been to a never
ceasing musketry fire and cannonade. The.), have also
experienced the alternate vicissitudes of extreme wet and
of intense heat, and that too with very insufficient shelter
from either, and in many places without any shelter at
all. In addition to baying had to repel real attacks,
they have been exposed night and day to the hardly less
harrassing false alarms which the enemy have been con-
stantly raising. The insurgents have frequently fired very
heavily, sounded the advance and shouted for several
hours together, though not a man could be seen, with
the view, of course, of harassing our small and exhausted
force, in which object they succeeded, for no part has been
strong enough to allow of a portion only of the garrison
being prepared in the event of a false attack being turned
into a real one. All, therefore, had to stand to their arms
and remain at their posts untill the demonstration bad
ceased, and such attacks were of almost nightly occurrence.
The whole of the officers and men have been on duty night
and day during the 87 days which the siege had lasted,
up to the arrival of Sir J. Outram, G.C.B. In addition
to this incessant military duty, the force has been
nightly employed in repairing defences, in moving guns,
in burying dead animals, in conveying ammunition and
commissariat stores from one place to another, and in
other fatigue duties too numerous and too trivial to enus
merate here. I feel, however, that any word of mine
will fail to convey any adeqaate idea of wnat our fatigue
and labours have been, labours in which all ranks and
all classes—civilians, officers, and soldiers—have all
borne au equally noble part. All have together de-
scended into the mine, all have together handled the
shovel for the interment of the putrid bullock, and all
accoutred with musket and bayonet have relieved each
other on sentry, without regard to the distinctions of
rank, civil or military. Notwithstanding all these hard-
ships, the garrison has made no less than five sorties, in
which they spiked two of the enemy's heaviest guns, and
blew up several of the houses from which they had kept
up their most harassing fire. Owing to the extreme
paucity of our numbers, each man wee taught to feel
that on his own individual efforts alone depended in no
small measure the safety of the entire position. This
consciousness incited every officer, soldier, and man to
defend the post assigned to him with such desperate I
tenacity, and to fight for the lives which Providence
had entrusted to his care with such dauntless determi- '
natkon, that the enemy, despite their constant attacks,
their heavy mines, their overwhelming numbers, and
their incessant fire, could never succeed in gaining one
single inch of ground within the bounds of this struggling
position, which was eo feebly fortified, that had they
once obtained a footing in any of the outposts, the whole
place must inevitably have fallen.
If further proof be wanting of the desperate nature of
the struggle which we have, under God's blessing, so
long and so successfully waged, I would point to the
roofless and ruined houses, to the crumbled walls, to
exploded mines, to the open breaches, to the shattered
and disabled guns and defences, and lastly, to the
long and melancholy list of the brave and devoted
officers and men who have fallen. These silent wit-
nesses bear sad and solemn testimony to the way in which
this feeble position has been defended. During the
early part of these vicissitudes we were left without any
information whatever regarding the poster() of affairs
outside. An occasional spy did indeed come ill with the
object of inducing our sepoys and servants to desert ; but
the intelligence derived from such sources was of course
entirely untrustworthy. We sent our messengers daily
calling for aid and asking for information, none of whom
ever returned until the 26th day of the siege, when a

pensioner named Ungud came back with a letter from
General Havelock's camp, informing us that they were
advipcing with a force sufficient to bear down all oppo.
Bitten, and would be with us in five or six days. A
messenger was immediately despatched, requesting that
on the evening of their arrival on the outskirts of the
city, two rockets might be sent up, in order that we
might take the necessary measnres for assisting them
while forcing their way in. The sixth day, however,
expired, and they came not ; but for many evenings after
officers and men watched for the ascension of the ex-
We knew sot then, nor did we learn until the 29th of
pected rockets, with hopes such as make the heart sick.
August--or thirty-five days later—that the relieving
force, after having fought most nobly to effect our deli-
verance, had been obliged to fall back for reiuforcenaents,
and this was the last communication we received until
two days before the arrival of Sir James Outram on the
25th September.
Besides heavy visitations of holera and small pox, we
have also to contend against a sickness which has
almost ueiversally pervaded the garrison. Commencing
with a very painful eruption, it has merged into a low
fever, combined with diarrhoea ; and although few or no
men have actually died from its effects. it leaves behind a
weakness and lassitude which in the absence of all ma-
terial sustenance, save coarse beef and still coarse flour,
none have been able entirely to geb over. The mortality
among the women and children,
and especially among
the latter, from these diseases, and from any other cause,
has been perhaps the most painful characteristic of the
siege. The want of native servants has also been a source
of much privation Owing to the suddenness with which
we were besieged, many of these people who might
perhaps have otherwise proved faithful to their employers,
but who were outside the defences at the time, were
altogether excluded. Very many more deserted, and
several families were consequently left without the
services of a single domestic. Several ladies have bad
to tend their children, and even to wash their own
clothes, as well as to cook their scanty meals entirely
unaided. Combined with the absence of servants, the
want of proper accommodation has probably been the
cause of muoh of the disease with which we have been
afflicted. I cannot refrain from bringing to the promi-
nent notice of his lordship in council the patient endur-
ance and Christian resignation which has been evinced
by the women of this garrison. They have animated us
by their example. Many, alas I have been made widows,
and their children fatherless, in this cruel struggle. But
all such seem resigned to the will of Providence, and
many, among whom may be mentioned the honoured
names of Bireh, of Polehampten, of Barber, and of Gall,
have, after the example of Mies Nightingale, constituted
themselves the tender and solicitous nurses of the
wounded and dying soldiers in the hospital.
It only remains for me to bring to the favourable notice
of his lordship in council the names of those officers who
have most distinguished themselves and afforded me the
most valuable assistance in these operations. Many o
the best and bravest of these now rest from their labours.
Among them are Lieutenant-Colonel Case and
Captain Radcliffe, whose services have already been
narrated ; Captain Francis, 13th Native Infantry, who
was killed by a round shot, bad particularly attracted
the attention of Sir FT. Lawrence for his conduct while
fn command of the Muchhee 13howen ; Captain Fulton,
of the Engineers, who also was struck by a round shot,
bad, up to the time of his early and lamented death,
afforded me the most invaluable aid ; he was indeed
indefatigable ; Major Anderson, the chief engineer,
though from the commencement of the siege incapable
of physical exertion from the effect of the disease under
which he eventually sunk, merited my warm acknow-
ledgments for his able counsel ; Captain Simons, com-
mandant of artillery, distinguished himself at Chinhut,
where he received the two wounds which ended in his
death; Lieutenants Shepherd and Arthur, 7th Light
Cavalry, who were killed at their posts ; Captain
Hughes, 57th Native Infantry, who was morally
wounded in the capture of a house which formed one of
the enemy's outposts; Captain M'Cabe, of the 32d Foot,
who eas killed at the head of his men while heading his '
fourth sortie, as well as Captain Mansfield, of the same
corps, who died of cholera—were all officers who had
distinguished themselves highly. Mr. Lucas, too, a
gentleman volunteer, and Mr. Boyson, of the Un- i
covenanted Service—who fell when on the look-out at
one of the most perilous outposts—had earned them-
salves reputation fur coolness and gallantry.
The officers who commanded outpoets—Lieutenant-
Colonel. Master, 7th Light Cavalry ; Major Apthorp,
41st Native Infantry ; Captain Sanders, 41st Native
Infantry ; Captain Boileau, 7th Light Cavalry ; Captain
Germon, 13th Native Infantry ; Lieutenant Aitken,
and Lieutenant Loughnan, of the same corps ; Captain
Anderson, 250 a Native Infantry ; Lieutenant Graydon,
44th Native Infantry ; Lieutenant Longmore, 71st
Native Infantry ; and Mr. Shilling, principal of the
Martiniere College—have all conducted ably the duties
of their onerous position. No further proof of this is
necessary than the fact which I have before mentioned,
that throughout the whole duration of the siege the
enemy were not only unable to take, but they could not
even succeed in gaining one inch of the posts com-
manded by these gallant gentlemen. Colonel Master
commanded the critical and important post of the
Brigade Mess, on either side of which was an open
breach, only flanked by his handful of riflemen and
mu keteers. Lieutenant Aitken, with the whole of the
13th Native Infantry which remained to us, with the
exception of the Sikhs, commanded the Bayley Guard,
perhaps the most important position in the whole of the
defences ; and Lieutenant Langmore, with the remnant
of his regiment (the 71st), held a very exposed position
between the hospital and the water-gate. This gallant
and deserving young soldier and his men were entirely
without shelter from the weather, both by night and by
day.
My thanks are also due to Lieutenants Anderson,
Hutchinson and Innes, of the Engineers, as well as to
Lieutenant Tullock, 58th N.I. and Lieutenant Hay,
48th N. 1., who were placed under them to aid in the
arduous duties devolving upon that department. Lieut.
Thomas, Madras Artillery, who commanded that arm of
the service for some weeks, and Lieuts. Macfarlane and
Bonham, rendered me the most effectual assistance. I
was, however, deprived of the services of the two latter,
who were wounded. Lieut. Bonham no less than three
times, early in the siege. Captain Evans. 17th 8.N.1.,
who, owing to the scarcity of Artillery officers, was put
in charge of some guns, was ever to be found at his post,
Major Lowe, commanding her Majesty's 32d Regt. ;
Capt. Bassano, Lieuts. Lawrence, Edinonstoune,
Foster, Harmar, Cooke, Clery, Browne, and Charlton,
of that corps, have all nobly performed their duty.
Every one of these officers, with the exception of Lieuts.
Lawrence and Clery have received one or more wounds
of more or less severity. Quartermaster Stribbling of
the same corps also conducted himself to ray satisfaction.
Captain O'Brien, her Majesty's 84th Foot ; Captain
•
Kemble, 41st N.I. ; Captain Edgell, 53d N.I. ; Captain
Dinning, Lieut. Sewell, and Lieut. Worsley of the 71st
N.I. Lieut. Warner, 7th L.O. ; Ensign Ward, 48th
'(who, when most of our artillery officers were killed
or disabled, worked the mortars with excellent effect) ;
Lieut. Graham, 11th N.I. ; Lieut. Mechaen, 4th Oude
Locals ; and Lieut. Keir, 41st NJ., have ail done good
willing service throughout the siege, and I trust that they
will receive the favourable notice of his lordship in
council.

ment of India to the untiring industry, the extreme

this despatch.
amply brought to notice by the civil authorities
assistant-
commissioner, whose invaluable services previous to the
commencement of the siege I have frequently heard
warmly dilated Captain Carnegie, the special
upon, both by Sir H. Lawrence and by
Major Banks, and whose exertions will probably be
more ply
on some future occasion, has condue,ed the office of
provost marshal to my satisfaction. The Rev. Mr.
Harris and the Rev. Mr. Polehampton, assistant-chap-
lains, vied with each other in their untiring care and
attention to the sufferine men. The latter gentleman
was wounded in the hospital, and subsequently unbap
pily died of cholera. Mr. M'Crae, of the Civil Engineers,
did excellent service at the guns, until he was severely
wounded. • Mr. Cameron, also, a gentleman who had
come toOude to inquire into the resources of the oeuetry,
acquired the whale mystery of mortar practice, and was
of the most signal service until incapacitated by sick-
ness. Mr. Marshall, of the road department, and other
members of the uncovenanted service, whose names
will on a subsequent occasion, be laid before the govern-
ment of India, conducted themselves bravely and
steadily. Indeed, the entire body of these gentlemen
have borne themselves well,
coolness under fire.
I have now only to bring to the notice of the Right
Hon. the Governor-General iu Council the conduct of
the several officers who composedandgroat
my staff. Lieutenant
James, Sub-Assistant Commissary General, was severely
wounded by a shot through the knee at Chinhut, not•
withstanding which he refused to go upon the sick-list,
and carried on his most trying duties throughout the
entire siege. It is not too much to say that the gar-
rison owe their lives to the exertions and firmness of
this officer. Before the struggle commenced, he was getting
ever in the saddle,
in supplies, and his untiring
vigilance in their distribution after our difficulties had
begun, prevented a waste which otherwise, long before
the expiration of the 87 days,
might have annihilated
the force by the slow process of starvation.
Captain Wilson, 13th Native Infantry, officiating
deputy assistant adjutant-general, was ever to be found
where shot was flying thickest, and I are at a loss to
decide whether his services were most valuable, owing
to the untiring physical endurance and bravery which he
displayed, or to his ever ready and pertinent counsel
and advice in moments of difficulty and danger.
Lieut. Hardinge, an officer whose achievements and '
antecedents are well known to the government of India,
has earned fresh laurels by his conduct throughout the
siege. He was officiating as deputy assistant quarter-
master-general, and also commanded the Sikh portion
of the cavalry of the garrison. In both capacities his
services have been invaluable, especially in the latter,
for it was owing alone to his tact, vigilance, and bravery
that the Sikh horsemen were induced to persevere in
holding a very unprotected lost under a heavy fire.
Lieutenant Barwell, 71st Native Infantry, the fort
adjutant and officiating major of brigade, has proved
himself to be an efficient officer.
Lieut. Bircb, of the 71st Native Infantry, Ilse been
any aide-de-camp throughout the siege. I firmly believe

there never was a better aide-de-camp. He has been
indefatigable, and ever ready to lead a sortie or to con-
vey an order to a threatened outpost under the heaviest
fire. On one of these :occasions he received a slight
wound on the head. I beg to bring the services of this
most promising and intelligent young officer to the
favourable consideration of his lordship in council.
I am also much indebted to Mr. Cooper, C.S., for the
assistance he has on many occasions afforded me by his
judicious advice. I have, moreover, ever found him
most ready and willing in the performance of the mili-
tary duties assigned to him, however exposed the post
or arduous the undertaking. He commence i his career
in her Majesty's service, and consequently bad had
some previous experience of military matters. If the
road to Cawnpore had been made clear by the advent of
our troops, it was my intention to have deputed this
officer to Calcutta, to detail in person the occurrences
which have taken place, for the information of the
Government of India. I still hope that when our com-
munications shall be once more unopposed he may be
summoned to Calcutta for this purpose.
Lastly, I have the pleasure of bringing the splendid
behaviour of the soldiers, viz., the men of her Majesty's
32d Foot, the small detachment of her Majesty's 84th
Foot, the European and native artillery, the 13th, 48th,
and 71st Regimeate Native Infantry, and the Sikhs of
the respective corps, to the notice of the Government of
India. The losses sustained by her Arajesty's 32 i, which
is now barely 300 strong, by her Majesty's 84th, and
by the European artillery, show at least that they knew
ho-w to die in the cause of their countrymen. Their
conduct under the fire, the exposure, and the privations
which they have had to undergo, has been throughout
most admirable and praiseworthy.
As another instance of the desperate character of our
defence and the difficulties we have had to contend with,
I may mention that the number of our artillerymen was
so reduced that on the occasion of an att,ck, the gunners
—aided as they were by men of H. M.'s 32d Foot, and by
volunteers of all classes—had to run from one battery to
another, wherever the fire of the enemy was hottest,
there not being nearly enough to serve half the number
of guns at the same time. In short, at last, the number
of European gunners was only 24, while we had, includ•
ing mortars, no less than 30 guns in position.
With respect to the native troops I am of opinion that
their loyalty has never been surpassed. They were
indifferently fed and worse housed. They were Exposed,
especially the 13th Regiment, under the gallant Lieut
Aitken, to a moat galling fire of round shot and musketry
which materially decreased their numbers. They were
so near the enemy that conversation could be carried on
between them ; and every effort, persuasion, promise,
and threat was alternately resorted to in vain, to seduce
them from their allegiance to the handful of Europeane,
who, in all probability, would have been sacrificed by
their desertion. All the troops behaved nobly, and the
names of those men of the native who have particularly
distinguished themselves have been laid before Major
General Sir James Outram, G.C.8., who has promised
to promote them. Those of the European force will be
transmitted in due course for the orders tf H.R.H. the
General Commanding-in-Gbief.
In conclusion I beg leave toexpress on the part of my self
and the members of this garrison our deep and grateful
sense of the conduct of Major-Gen. SirJ. Outram,G.C. 8.,
of Brigadier-Gen. Havelock, C. 8., and of the troops under
those officers who so devotedly came to our reliet at so
heav4f a sacrifice of life. We are also repaid for much suf
fering and privation by the sympathy which our brave
deliverers say our perilous and unfortunate position has
excited for us in the hearts of our countrymen through-
out the length and breadth of her Majesty's dominions.
I have, See.,

Division Ordtrs by Major General Sir James Outram,
G.C.B.

Headquarters, Lucknow, Oct. G.
The incessant and arduous duties which have devolved
on Brigadier Inglis and his staff since the arrival the
reliev►ng force had hitherto prevented him from
furnishing to the Major General Commanding the usual
official documents relative to the siege of the garrison.
In the absence of these the Major General could not
with propriety have indulged in any public declaration
of the admiration with which he regards the heroism
displayed by Brigadier Inglis and the glorious garriso❑
he has so ably commanded during the last three months
and he has been reluctantly oblig-d to defer, therefore,
so long the expression of the sentiments he was desirous
to offer.
But the Major General, having at length received
Brigadier leglis s reports, is relieved from the necessity
of further silence, and he hastens to tender to the
Brigadier and to every individual member of the garrison
the assurance of his confidence that their services wi 1
be regarded by the government under which they are
immediately serving, by the British nation, aed by her
gracious Majesty, with equal admiration to that with
which he is himself impressed.
The Major General believes that the annals of wdrfere
contain no brighter page than that which will record the
bravery, fortitude, vigilance, and patient endurance of
hardships, privation, and fatigue, di-played by the
garrison of Lucknow, and he id very conscious that his
unskilled pen must needs fail adequately to convey to
the Right Hon. the Governor General of India, and his
Excellency the Commander in Chief, the profound e
of the merit 4 of that garrison which has been forced on
his mind by a careful consideration of the almost
incredible difficulties with which they have Lai, to
contend. _ _ _

The term illustrious was well and happily applied, by
a former Governor General of India, to the garrison of
Jellalabad ; but some far more laudatory epithet, if such
the Euglish language contains, is due, the Major-Gen.
considers, to the brave men whom Brigadier Inglis has
commanded, with undeviating success and untarnished
honour, through the late memorable siege ; for while the
devoted band of heroes who so nobly maintained the
honour of their country's arms under Sir R. Sale were
seldom exposed to actual attack, the Lucknow garrison,
of inferior strength, have, in addition to a series of fierce
assaults, gallantly and successfully repulsed, been for
three months exposed to a nearly incessant fire from
strong and commanding positions, held by an enemy of
overwhelming force, possessingpowerful artillery, having
at their command the whole resources of what was but
recently a kingdom, and animated by an insane and
bloodthirsty fanaticism.
It is a source of heartfelt satisfaction to the Maj
General to be able, to a certain extent, to confer on the
native portion of thel garrison an imtalment of those re-
wards which their gallant and grateful commander has
sought for them, and which he is very certain the Go-
vernor-General will bestow in full ; and though the

Major-General, as regards the European portion of the
garrison, cannot do more than give his moat earnest and
hearty support to the recommendations of the Brigadier,
he feels assured that the Governor-General of India will
fully and publicly manifest his appreciation of their dis-
tinguished services, and that our beloved Sovereign will
herself deign to convey to them some gracious expression
of royal approbation of their conduct.
Brigadier Inglis has borne generous testimony to the
bravery, vigilance, devotedness, and good conduct of all
ranks, and to all ranks, as the local representative of
British Indian Government, the Major-General tenders
his warmest acknowledgments. He would fain offer his
special congratulations and thanks to the European and
Eurasian portion of the garrison whom Brigadier Inglis
bas particularly ❑oticed, but by doing so he would fore-
stall the Governor-General in the exercise of what the
Major-General is assured will be one of the most pleasing
acts of kis official life.

SIR COLIN CAMPBELL'S ACCOUNT OF
THE RELIEF OF LUCKNOW.
From his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief to the
Right Hon. the Governor-General.
Head-quarters, Shah Nujjeef,
Lucknow, Nov. 18, 1857.
My Lord,—I have the honour to apprise your lordship
that I left Cawnpore on Nov. 2, and joined the troops
under the command of Brigadier-General Hope rant,
the the same day, at Camp Buntara, about six miles f
Alumbagh.
There being a few detachments on the road, I deemed
it expedient to wait till the 12th, before commencing my
advance.
On that day I marched early for Alembagh with the
troops named in the margin."
The advance guard was Attacked by two guns and a
body of about 2,000 infantry. After a smart
skirmish,
the guns were taken : Lieut. Gough, commandingliod•
son's Irregular Horse, having distinguished himselt very
much in a brilliant charge by which this object wa3
effected.
The camp was pitched on that evening at Alumbag h.
This place I found to be annoyed to a certain extent by

* Naval Brigade, eight (8) heavy guns. Bengal Horse
Artillery ten (10) guns. Bengal Horse Field Battery six (1
gone. Heavy Field Battery, Royal Artillery. Detachments
Bengal and Punjaub Sappers and Miners. H.M.'s 9th
Lancers. Detachments Ist, 2d, and sth Punjaub Cavalry,
and Hodson 's Horse. H.R.'s Bth, 53d, 75th, and 93d
Regiments of Infantry. 2d and 4th Punjaub Infantry.
Probable total, 700 Cavalry, 2,700 infantry.
