the. town of Agra, of an encampment with a large

L'''.44(4:'‘which the south and. lthe south_ ace of
surroun4e4 I determined to dislodge the
My from thetown, anci,'occupy the ravines this
hrnibg, answer as trenches, and afford
Lcomplete cover for carrying on our works.

With this view, I ordered Brigadier-General
Clarke, who was encamped with his brigade in
the rear of the town, to take possession of it, at
the same time that thiee battalions advanced to oc-
cupy the ravines.
The attacks have succeeded, and the town, as
well as the ravines, arc now occupied by our
Troops.
Lieutenant-Colonel M'Cullock, IVlajor Haldane,
and Captain Worseley, led the battalions that ad-
vanced on the ravines. Every praise is due to
those Officers, who performed every thing required
of them, with the greatest alacrity and steadiness.
I am sorry to say that a number of men have been
killed and wounded, as well as Officers, owing to
their high spirit and anxiety to possess themselves
of the Enemy's guns ; they quitted the ravines and
gained the glacis, driving the Enemy from their
position; in effeeting which, from being close tin-
der the Fort, they were exposed to a very heavy
fire.

My thanks are due to the Hon. Maj )r-General
St. John, for his spirited condua in advancing at the
head of the 2d Battalion of the 23 Native Infantry,
which I found it necessary to order up to ►upport
the attack.

Brigadier-General Clarke, in his attack on the
town, met with considerable resistance, which by
the gallant conduct of the officers and men under
his command, was at length surmounted. I feel
myself under particular obligations to Lieutenant-
Colonel White, who commanded five companies of
the 16th Regiment Native Infantry, for his judi-
cious and gallant conduft on this day.
I feel myself under the greatest obligations to
Lieutenant-Colonel Gerrard, Adjutant-General, who
undertook to point out to Lieutenant-Colonel Mac-
cullock, the road he was to pursue, and I am sorry
to report that in the performance of this duty, he
received a very severe contusion; but I trust it
will not he attended with any serious consequences.
Major Thomas, of the 4th Native Infantry is,
I am sorry to add, very severely wounded ; his
exertions throughout this day were most meritori-
ous.

Lieutenant Hay of the Artillery, who went with
a detachment of that Corps to bring off the Enemy's
guns, merits my approbation for his successful exer-
tions in this service.

To Mr. Lucan's information and exertions on
this occasion, as %veil as on every other, I feel
myself mach indebted.
I have the Honour to be, My Lord,
Your Lordship's most faithful humble Servant,

The following Extraa of a Dispatch, received this day, is
published by command of His Excellency the Most Noble
the Governor General in Council.
To Captain ARMSTRONG, Acing Military Secretary to
the Governor General in Council.

sTR,

I had •the honour of briefly stating to you yes_
terday, for the information of His Excellency the
Most Noble the Governor General, that the-Fort of
Btrabutty had been taken by assault, by a part of
the Troops under my command, direded to perform
this service under the orders of Lieut. Col. Clayton
of the zoth Bengal Regiment. I now have the ho-
nour to acquaint you, for His Excellency's infor-
mation, with the further details of this operation. .
On the night of the rz th a spot was fixed on for
a r 2-pounder battery, distant about soo yards from
the outer gate of the Fort. This Battery was com-
pleted on the night of the t 3th and the r 2-pounder
placed in it, together with 2 howitzers and a• -
rounders, the whole of which opened their fire on
the morning of the 14. th. By eleven o'clock in the
forenoon most of the defences on the South face of
the Fort against which our fire was direded were
taken off, the Enemy's guns silenced, and every ap-
pearance promised success. Upon which I direded
Lieutenant Col. Clayton to advance with one 6-
pounder, and a party of Artillery men, two hundred
Europeans from His Majesty's 22d, and the Madras
European Regiment, and four hundred Sepoys from
the 20th Bengal, and the 9th and 19th Regiments of
Madras Native Infantry. The party had to pass
over a narrow bridge, and under a very heavy but
ill directed fire of musquetry from the Fort, to
which they were exposed for forty minutes.—They
at length succeeded is blowing open the wicket,
(the remaining part of the gate having been fortified
with thick masses of stone.) Having once accom-
plished this, ihe party entered singly, and although
they met with considerable resistance whilst entering
the Fort, and passing two other gates, the British
Troops were soon completely vidorious.
I cannot too highly praise the condun of I,ieut.-
Cul. Clayton, and that of the Officers and Troops
under his command. The whole party manifested a
degree of persevering steadiness and bravery that
does them infinite honour.

The Fort of Barabutty is of considerable strength,
and, with the exception only of the bridge over
which our party passed, is inaccessible, as it is sur.
rounded by a ditch from 3; to 135 feet broad, and
20 feet depth of water in it.
I am happy to acquaint you, that our loss has not
been considerable, but I have to report with regret,
that Capt. Kenney of the 19th Regiment of Madras
Infantry, Capt. Hurlstone of His Majesty's ltd
Regiment,
and Lieutenant Faithful of the Bengal
Artillery, are wounded, though not dangerously ;
[heir coodat was highly meritorious, as well as that
of every other Officer on the storming party.

Reiurni of the Killed and Wounded are inclosed,

I cannot omit expressing in the strongest manner,
the high sense which I entertatin of the services of
Capt. Blunt, Field.Engincer, who has been through.
out our Campaign, indefatigably ktive ; and of
Cl'r, Hetzler, of the Bengal Artillery, whose well

vice.
The lois of the Enemy within the Fort wai yfr,
considerable, and many were drowned in the ditch,
when endeavouring to escape. CO-
I should not omit mentioning, that a Stant, `A.
Co-
lours of the Enemy.vvas taken by the Detachment
His Majesty's zzd regiment, a second Stand of Ca"
lours by the zoth Bengal regiment, a thitil by the
9th Madras •Native regiment ; and a fourth by tke,
t9th Madra, Native regiment ; for the disposal ;'1
which I hope to be honoured with His Excellency a
CUlntilarlas.
The zealous and efficient seirCiieidf nijor of Bri-
gade Thlimpson, demand my warmest acknowleag'
ments, and I must further beg leave to report
you for His Excellency's. information, that the ge:
nerai conduer of the whole force under my command
has been such as to m-rit the most favourablerepre-
sentation of their services to His Excellency's

lice.

the Execution, or rather the Murder of the Duke

IN addition to the accounts we have at different
''tiles Lid before our Reader, respelling the force of
• IZtemy in the different Ports, we are now en.
'44 .to state with perfe63 accuracy, on the autho-
xLY of an Officer who left the Texel on the 7th
the state of the preparations in that Port.--
1 larva are four Sail of the Line, two of 64, and two

of 74 grins, Yiz. the Joba De 1-/itt, the Briliu;, the
Plato, and the Campercle,-,wt, one Frigate and a Brig-,
and about 6o S3il of Transport's. The latter consist
partly of Dutch Vessels, and partly of 'NeUttals,
that have been impressed for the pUrpose of serving
as Transports.-The TrocipS had not einbarked on
the 7th, but every thing was ready for their
barkation, the Ships of War and TranSpoits being
completely e4uipped; and.ready for sea at an hour's
notice: It has been for some time observed by the
Officers cruizing on that station, that the number of
Neutral Vessel? that entered the Texel greatly et:.
ceeded the number that came out; and this 'circum-
stance is now accounted for, as the French have
seized several of them, and converted therii into
Transports, so that by these means the Enemy can
increase their Naval Force to any extent they please,
almost in the sight of our blockading Squadrons.
The number of Troops at the Helder does not ex-
ceed 2.4.00 men.

We learn from good information and undoubted
authority, that the Stone Ships remained yester-
day at anchor under Dungeness, waiting the Spring
Tides. Last evening these tides would serve till
Thursday next, so that it was fully expe6led they
would sail last night or this day,when,if the wind will
admit of it, they are to be sunk. We fear, however,
that the wind, which is at N. E. is at present unfa-
vourable. Only one of the persons, we understand,
who originally undertook this expedition, remains to
execute it, and he an American. A certain num-
ber of Officers and Men from each Ship
.on the
Downs Station is ordered to carry it into execution.
No volunteers we understand offered. The Naval
Officers off Boulogne do not, we believe, think
very favourably of the plan. If it is attempted,
however, we hope most earnestly that it will suc-
ceed.

A part of the Squadron under Sir SYDNEY" SMITH,
stationed in the \Veiling, about six miles from
flushing, saw a Brig, Corvette, and twelve armed
Schooners, carrying from one to three guns, come out
of flashing on the t zth ult. and which efleaed their
escape to Ostend, a 3 our Vessels could only get
within random shot of them, from their drawing
too much water. A few Gun brigs or Vessels
of shallow diaft of water, would have taken
the whole. We Are happy to learn that the
Admiralty, since Mr. riTT's Motion for an In_
quiry into their Condon, have given orders to
take up all the small vessels that can be procured
along the coast.

The remainder of the Report of the Grand Judge
to the FIRST CONSUL, will be found in our Paper of
this day. Upon a more mature consideration of that
extraordinary Paper, we still retain the opinion which
we stated yesterday, that either the whole or the
greater part of the Documents contained in that Re-
port, have been fabricated, to answer the imme-
diate purposes of the French Government, at this
mitical conjunaure.
