who have taken possession .of several villages.

expected.

Maharajah Jung Bahadoor, has left Nepaul for

the force as military commissioner, with the rank
of brigadier-general. The c,lump will proceed in
the first instance to Gorruckpore.

and the remnants of his force were taken pri-
soners in the Mukundra Pass by the troops of the
