vary difficult one. His pursuit on the 21st of the party
which broke away after being driven by Sir Edward Lu-
gaid from Saadut Gunge was highly effective.
Brigadier Hagart bas received the marked commendation
of Sir J. Hope Grant, and the brigadiers in command of
infantry brigades have particularly distinguished them-
selves under the eyes of their divisional commanders :
Brigadier D, Russel, Ist Brigade ; Brigadier P. M. Gay,
3d Brigade • Brigadier the Hon. A. Hope, 4th Brigade ;
Brigadier Douglas, C. 8., sth Brigade; Brigadier Hors-
ford, C. 8., 6th Brigade ; BrigadierEvelegh, 7th Brigade ;
and Lieut.-Colonel Longden (her Majesty's 10th Foot),
attached to the Ghoorka Brigade, by order of the Com-
mander-in-Chief.

The Head-quarters 2d Brigade, with the sth Fusileers,
and 78th Highlanders, rimier Briga•lier Franklyn, remained
at Alutrxhagh in position, and was well disposed by that
officer to resist the enemy's demonstration on the 16th
bast

TO Major-General Sir Archdale Wilson, K.C.8., ml
warmest acknowledgments are due for the effective m liner
in which he commanded the Artillery Division.
The four corps, the Naval Brigade, the Royal Artillery',
the Bengal Artillery, and the Madras Artillery, worked
with the greatest harmony under his happy direction as
one regiment. The merits of Sir Archdale Wilson are too
widely known to gain anything by encomium from coo,
but I may be permitted to express my great satisfaction
at having been able to avail myselfof the assistance of this
most distinguished officer. The effective fire of the Artil-
lery during the long operations, which depended so much
on the management of that arm, elicited general admira-
tion. The practice of the 68-pounder of the naval Brigade
was capital, while the Kaiserbagh and other great build-
ings which had been stormed showed in a very convincing
manner how truly the shells had been directed by the
Royal and Bengal Artillery, Whenever the field artillery
could be used the troops of Horse Artillery, and field
batteries of Royal Artillery, and the Madras Artillery did
the most excellent service.

Sir Archdale Wilson expresses his great obligations to
Captain Sir William Peel, K.C.8., R N., till that most
gallant officer was severely wounded ; and to Brigadier
Wood, C. 8., Royal Horse Artillery, and Barker, C.D..
Royal Artillery, respectively commanding the field and
seige artillery brigades. It would be difficult for me to
give an adequate. idea of the zeal and activity displayed
by the chief engineer, Brigadier Napier, Bengal Engi-
neers. Many of the operations depended on his proper
appreciation of the obstructions to be overcome, and the
means at his disposal for that purpose. His great profes-
sional skill and thorough acquaintance with the value of hit
enemy have been of the greatest service, and I recommend
him most cordially to your Lordship's protection. lam
under very great obligations to him.
The officers of the general departments of the army have
accompanied me during the siege, and I beg to return
them my thanks. They are as follows :—Major H. W.
Norman, Deputy Adjutant-General of the Army; Lieut.-
Colonel W. Macpherson, officiating Quartermaster-General
of the Army; Colonel the Hon. W. L. Pakenham, C. 8.,
officiatinr, Adjutant-General of her Majesty's fortes; Cap-
tain C. F. Seymour, 84th Regiment, officiating Quarter-
master-General of lie Majesty's forces ; Captain G. Algood
officiatinc, Assistant-Quartermaster-General of the Army ;
Lieut.-Colonel Keith Young, Judge-Advocate-General of
the Army; Lieut. P. Stewar. Bengal Engineers, Superin-
tendent of Electric Telegraphs ; Dr. M'Andrew, Inspec-
tor-General of Hospitals of her Majesty's Forces.
Dr. Brown, the Superintending-Surgeon of the force,
has again won my sincere thanks for his admirable ar-
rangements.

Captain Fitzgerald, A ssist an t-Co mmi ssary- General
who has had the disposition of the commissariat in the
field, has met every want of the army. He his distin-
guished himself much, and is a credis to his department.
I must draw very particular al tention to the services of
Major Norman, Deputy Adjutant-General, who, besides
his ordinary departmental duties, has performed the ye/
onerous one of Adjutant-General of the army in the field
throughout the campaign.
To Captain H. Bruce, Deputy Quartermaster-General,
head of the Intelligence Department, and to Captain G
Algood, officiating Assistant Quartermaster-General, who
performed the duties of Quartermaster-General of the
Army in the field, until the arrival of Lieut.-Colonel
Macpherson. These officers have all been most active in
the performance of their duties.

To my personal staff, and that of Major-General Mane'
field, my acknowledgments are due, but more particularly
to my military secretary, Colonel Sterling, C. 8., and to
Captain R. G. Hope Johnstone, Bombay Army, Deputi
Assistant Adjutant-General to the Chief of the stag;
Those two officers are most indefatigable.
A list of the members of these staffs is appended.
Finally, I wish to draw your Lordship's attention
• to
the conduct of the regimental officers, commiesionea
and non-commissioned, and to the men of the regiment.'
Their conduct has been very brilliant throughout. The
manner in which the 93d Regiment flung itself into the
Begum Kotee, followed by the 4th Sikhs and supported by
the 42d, was magnificent, and the subsequent attack on
the Emambara and the Kaiserbagh reflected the greatel
credit on the regimental leaders of the 4th division, an
the soldiers who followed them.
Corrected lists will be sent immediately of the officers arta
soldiers who are deemed most worthy of distinction in a
force in which every one has a claim,—l have, &c.,

My Lord,—l have the honour to report to your lordship
the departure of his Highness Jung Bahadoor from the
camp before Lir:know. I desire to take this opportuaa
to express my thanks to his Highness for the assistailot
rendered to me during the late operations by him and iv;
gallant troops. I found the utmost willingness on his lor.
to accede to any desire of mine during the progress of qr.,
siege, and from the first his Highness was pleased to juatl2
his words, that he was happy to be serving under my COW'
mmend. His troops have proved themselves worthy of their
commanders, and it will doubtless be a happiness to thera
hereafter that they were associated with the British argil
for the reduction of the great city of Lucknow.
My best thanks are due to the Special Commissioner,
