India Board, Feb. 3, 1835.

A dispatch has been received from the Right Hon. Lord
William Bentinek, Governor-General and Commander-in-
Chief in India, dated 22d May, 1834, of which, and of its
enclosure, the following arc copies :
Ootaearnund, May 22, 1834.
have the honour to enclose, for the information of
:the Honourable the Court of Directors, copy of my General
Order to the army on the close of the Coorg war; and to re-
quest that the distinguished and gallant manner in which
Colonel Foulis conducted the operations of the column under
his command, may be brought to the particular notice of his
Majesty's Government.
. .

I have the honour to be, &c.
(Signed) W. BENTINCK, General Com-
mander in Chief, East Indies.
Henry St. George Tucker, Esq., Chairman
to the Honourable the Court of Directors.

General Order by his Excellency the Right Honourable the
Governor General and Commander in Chief in India.

Head Quarters, Ootacamund, May 17, 1834.

The Governor General and Commander in Chief has much
pleasure in expressing to Brigadier Lindesay, C. B. his entire
approbation of the manner in which the military operations
under his general controul against the Rajah of Coorg—( An
account of the military operations in Coorg was published in
a Supplement to the London Gazette of the 16th September
1834)—have been b; ought to a speedy and successful termi-
nation. His Lordship had confidently anticipated this result,
from the Brigadier's long experience and established reputation.
To Lieutenant-Colonel Steuart, who commanded a detach-
n ent from the main column, under Brigadier Lindesay, the
expression of his Lordship's satisfaction is also due, for hav-
ing successfully overcome all the obstacles oppoSed by the
enemy to his progress, and for having effected, in obedience to
his orders, a junction with the column under Colonel Foulis'
command.

The column under the command of Colonel Waugh met
with complete failure ; the loss of many brave men is to be
th.plored, and of none more than of the gallant Lieutenant-
Colonel Mill.

The determined valour displayed by the officers and troops,
and more especially by his Majesty's 55th, is the best consola-
tion for this misfortune. His Lordship has carefully examined
the detailed reports which he had required of the operations of
this column, and is happy in generally, concurring in the opi-
nion of Brigadier Lindesay, that Colonel Waugh is not justly
chargeable with blame ; that all his orders and arrangements
appear to have been made with sound discretion, and a due
observance of correct military principles ; and that the disaster
may be ascribed to the extreme difficulty of the country, and
to those accidents to which the best concerted schemes will oc-
casionally be liable.
It may perhaps be regretted that the attack was so long per-
severed in, but the good order in which the retreat was made
to the ground occupied before the attack, proves that the ar-
rangements were ably made, while the perseverance in which
the main object of the operations of this column was followed up
reflects the greatest credit upon Colonel Waugh.
The good disposition made by Colonel Foulis, in command
of the south-western column, for the attack of Huggula Ghaut,
and the gallantry with which it was carried, reflect the greatest
credit upon that officer, and the officers and men under his
command : Colonel Foulis' name will be brought to the parti.
cular notice of the Honourable Court.

To all the officers and men composing the several columns
above enumerated his Lordship expresses his thanks for their
zealous and gallant conduct ; although the troops have had to
engage an enemy much inferior to themselves, yet the exces.
sive strength of the mountains and densely jungle country eon_
stituted a resistance which the greatest perseverance and eou.
rage could alone have surmounted. The army have the
satisfaction of knowing that a sanguinary tyrant has been sub-
dued, and a valuable acquisition been made to the Company's
territories. To the excellent order and discipline of the
troops may in part be ascribed the general desire expressed by
the inhabitants to become the subjects of the British Govern-
merit.

The conduct of Lieutenant-Colonel Jackson, in command
of the north western auxiliary column, being under investi-
gation, his Lordship refrains, from the present, from making
any remarks upon the operations of that part of the force.

The GOver-nor General cannot omii to mention in this
place the eminent services of Lieutenant Colonel I. S. Fra-
ser, to whom was intrusted the conduct of our negotiations
with the enemy. By the judicious arrangements which that
Officcar adopted, the successes of the troops were ably se-
conded, while ~his subsequent measures in administering th•
affairs of the Coorg country have been so discreet and con:
ciliatory as to gain for him the confidence of the inheuitants,
and to secure their entire and willing obedi;4lco.
By command of His Excellency the night Honourable
the Governor General,
