all these things to
nions. My men we,.
them had died of smallpox and si2: had been killed
by a neighbouring chief. The pool fellows received
me with great joy, and no less glad was I to see
them. All the party is now well. We have had
illness, but no coast fever. I think,.as both we and
the Pearl escaped, it was greatly owing to pushing
with all our vigour away from the mangrove
swamps at the•mouth of the river. These are the
hotbeds of fever.—l am, &c.,

seven pieces, we found, rather to our astonishment,
a fine nine-pounder brass gun, belonging to one of
our batteries, and cast at Cossipore. The rest of
the guns consisted of one brass six-pounder, one
brass four-pounder, and four iron six-pounders.
Having now routed the enemy, Lord Clyde pro-
ceeded towards Lucknow. On the 26th we marched
to Poorw ah, a long and toilsome march; and on
the 27th marched to Burmee, on the Cawnpore and
Lucknow road.
On the morning of the 28th of November the
Commander•in-Chief rode into Lucknow, and the
camp was pitched before 12 o'clock on the left bank
of the Goomtee, opposite the Chufter Munsil. As
it would have been unnecessary to fatigue the
troops by a long march of 17 miles, part through
large and dusty suburbs and streets, they were
halted at the Alumbagh, and encamped there for
the day.
Lucknow in the space of six mouths has been
reconstructed by destruction. I never beheld such
a great and such a beneficial change to charm the
eye and every sense which can- be affected by ex-,
ternal objects. The history of our labours cannot
be comprised in a sentence. The improvements of
Paris, dux to the vigorous administration and mili-
tary exigencies of the Emperor are not comparable
to the vast alterations made at Lucknow by the
simple process of blasting and levelling whole
quarters of decrepit miserable houses, opening out
grand streets, and uncovering the stately palaces
which were blocked up formerly by obscure neigh-
bourhoods. The only new construction, however,
is in its character significant andcomplete. The city
is held by a band of embrasured parapet, and armed
forts, the magnificent projects of Sir Robert Napier,
of which I inclosed you a sketch seven months ago,
are now realised, or in the course of being so.
The Chief Commissioner, Mr. Montgomery, had
a long interview with Lord Clyde, at which the
Chief of the Staff was present. It is understood
that the civil authorities are well contented with
the progress of our arms on this side of the Gogra.
Already Sir Hope Grant has caused the rebels to
feel the weight of our blows across the river. They
had brought down some guns in battery to annoy
our working party engaged on the bridge of boat&
Sir Hope pushed a force across the river, captured
a small brass gun which they had left to cover the
retreat of the others, pressed on with his horse
artillery and cavalry, cut up 60 or 70 Sepoys and
took six more guns before he returned to the bridge,
at which he has not since been molested. The force
marching up the right bank of the Goomtee had
halted to attack a fort called Koloa, and I regret
indeed to state that an exceedingly promising
officer, ono who had realised many expectations—
Captain Scott, of the Madras Engineers—was
shot through the head while reconnoitring the
place before the attack, and died on the spot.
Brigadier Troup's column was expected to be at
Seetapore yesterday (29th). Thus the whole line
of posts from Bareilly in Rohilcund to Dinapore
is gradually sweeping onwards and onwards, and
driving the enemy towards Buraech, where they
must either fight, submit, or perish in the Terai.
