LUCK NO W.

On the Bth of March the arrangements on both
sides of the GQointee for the attack were com-
pleted.

On March 9 Sir J. Outrun turned the enemy's
first great line of defences by an enfilading fire,
and the Martiniere was stormed by the Second
Division, under Sir E. Lugard.
On the 10th March Sir Colin Campbell seized
the Bank-house, and took up an advanced position
in front of it. Sir J. Outram pushed forward his
advances on the left of the Goomtee, the resist-
ance of the enemy being obstinate.

On the 11th of March her Majesty's 42d and
93d Highlanders stormed the Begum's Palace,
and Sir J. Oatram crossed the Goomtee and occu-
pied the buildings in front of the Palace.
In these operations our loss was under 100
killed and wounded. Among the killed are Captain
Macdonald, Her Majesty's 93d ; Captain Cooper,
Rifle Brigade ; Captain Moorsom, Staff.
On the 13th of March a sap was ran up to the
Imambarra, which is close to the walled enclosure
of the Kaiserbagh.

On the 14th of March the Imambarra was
stormed, and the troops following close on the re-
tiring enemy, entered the Kaiserbagh with thorn ;
the contest lasted until 3 o'clock p.m., by which
time Sir Colin Campbell was in full possession of
the Kaiserbagh.

On the 15th of March, the enemy, after the
fall of the Kaiserbagh, having commenced their
flight from the city, Brigadier Campbell, with a
brigade of cavalry and horse artillery, was de-
spatched in pursuit. Sir Hope Grant also ad-
vanced to Seetapoor, on the direct road to Rohil-
cund, with 1,000 sabre; to intercept the fugi-
tives who might be forced in that direction by
Brigadier Campbell.

Up to the 15th of Maroh the enemy still occu-
pied some parts of Lucknow, but intelligence of
Sir C. Campbell's reduction and occupation of the
whole city is hourly expected.

The Commander-in-Chief sends the following
intelligence to-day from Lucknow :--
"Yesterday the bridges wore secured, and the
troops advanced, and occupied the Muchee Bawan
and Great Imanabarra. Large bodies of the
enemy crossed the atone bridges an hour before
the attack was commenced by Sir J. Outram. The
resistance was slight compared with the previous
day. A Ghoorkah division seised the enemy's
position in front of Alumbagh last night. Numbers
of armed and unarmed men are evacuating the
city by the outlets ; they passed to the north.

"Our advances to-day are gradually pushed on
all sides of the line occupied by the troops, par-
ticularly towards Goolghat and Moosabab, in
which direction the enemy are advancing. Tue
point they intend to make for is not known.
