(Without date.)
Sir,---I have the honour to report, for the information
of Major-General Wilson commanding before Delhi, that,
agreeably to his orders, Imarched from this at daybreak
on the 25th, with the troops-noted in the margin," to in-
tercept a force of the enemy, said to be moving from Delhi
towards Bahadurghur, with the intention of attacking us
in rear.
On my arrival at the village of Nanglooue, about nine
miles from this (and on the road to which I had to cross
two difficult swamps), I learned that the enemy had been
at Palum the previous day, and would probably reach
Nujufghur in the course of the afternoon ; I therefore
decided on leaving the Bahadurghur road, and, if possible,
coming up with, and routing the enemy et Nujufghur
before nightfall.
I crossed a tolerably deep and broad ford, over a branch
of the Nujufghur Jheel, near the Baprowla, at about four
p.m., and found the enemy in position on my left and
front, extending from the bridge over the Nnjufghur canal
to the town of Nujufghur—a distance of a mile and three-
quarters or two miles. Their strongest point was an old
serai on their left centre, in which they had four guns ;
nine more guns were between this and the bridge.
It was five o'clock before the troops were across the ford
and parallel with the position. As the evening was so far
advanced and I had no guides, I laboured under the dis-
advantage of being compelled to make a very hasty recon-
naisence.
The plan which I determined on was, to force the left
centre (which, as I have said, was the strongest part of
the position), and then changing front to the left, to sweep
down their line of guns towards the bridge.
I accordingly formed up her Majesty's Glst Regiment,
tho 1st Fusiliers, and 2d Punjaub Infantry (with the ex-
ception of 100' men of each corps whom I had told off on
the march as a rear guard and reserve), with four guns
on the right and eight on the left flank, supported
by the squadron 9th Lancers and Guido Cavalry ; and after
the artillery had fired a few rounds, I advanced and charged
with the infantry. The enemy was driven out with scarcely
any numerical loss (though her Majesty's 61st had a most
gallant an 1 premising officer, Lieut. Gabbet, mortally
wounded); I then changed front to left, and so turned the
whole position in which their guns were.
The enemy made little resistance as we advanced, and
were soon in full retreat across the bridge, with our guns
playing upon them, 13 ot their field pieces having fallen
into our hands.
At the same time that I attacked the serai I directed
Lieutenant Lumsden, officiating Commandant of Major
Coke's regiment, the let Punjab Infantry, to advance, and
clear the town of Nujufghur on our right. This service was
well performed, and without loss, by Lieut. Lumsden, who,
after passing through the town, brought his right shoulders
forward, and followed in rear of the main line.
The enemy's guns were now all in our possession, and I
saeposed the conflict at an end, when it was reported to
me that a few men had concealed themselves in the little
village of Nuglee, which was at this time a few hundred
yards in rear of our line. I immediately sent orders to
Lieut. Lumsden, who was nearly abreast of the village, to
drive them out ; but though few in number, they had re-
mained so long that our troops were on all sides of them;
and seeing no line of retreat open, they fought with ex-
treme desperation. -
Lieutenant Lumsden was, I regret to say, killed, with
of his men • t - more were wounded.; and I was
obliged to send back the 61st Regiment to reinforce tho let
Punjab Infantry. This corps also suffered the loss of an-
other gallant officer, Lieutenant Elkington, dangerously
wounded, and - men killed and several men wounded,

The enemy's cavalry, apparently not less than 1,030
strong—more than once made a show of charging during
the action, but were on each occasion driven back by the
fire of our artillery. Our owu cavalry I regretted much
my inability to employ against them ; but I had been
obliged to leave the squadron of the 2d Panjaub Cavalry
under Lieut. Nicholson, and 120 of the Mooltanees, to look
_after the baggage; and I had, of lancers, guides, and Aloof
tanoes, not more than 300 left to escort the guns and form
a reserve.
I passed the night at the bridge, with the let Fusiliers
and 2d Paniaub Infantry, and a detachment of artillery
and lancers. I had the bridge mined, and blown up by the
Sappers, and all the waggoes and tumbrils which I had
not the means of bringing away were also blown up by
Major Tombs.
Shortly after daybreak in the morning, I started on my
return to camp, and fearing lest more rain should render
conduct of the
the ground (already sufficiently difficult) quite impractic-
able,It only now remains for me to fulfil the pleasing duty of
troops in these operations. No soldiers ever advanced to
the attack of a position with greater gallantry and steadi-
ness than her Majesty's 61st Regiment, the Jet Fusiliers,
and the 24.`Punjaub Infantry. No infanta as over more
ably assisted by artillery. Major Coke's regiment, under
its gallant and lamented officiating commanffant, sustained
its high reputation. The troops are likewise entitled to
great credit for the cheerfulness with which they bore the
hardships they were exposed to. They mcrched at day-
break, and had to cross two difficult swamps before their
arrival at Nanglooee ; as it would not have been prudent
to take the baggage across the ford at BaGrowla, they were
obliged, after 14 hours' marching and fightingeto bivouac

Sir,—I havo the honour to report, forthe information of
his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that, on a•riving
at my camp, Katogun, on the 9th inst., I received definite
information that a party of insurgentsfromOude, amount-
ing to from ZOO to 400, with four guns, had crossed the
Ganges 'roar tho villagd of Ko ,ndurn Puttoe, 3.7.; miles
north of Khoga, on the trunk road, betwean Futtahpore
and Allahabad. _ _ _

Operations against them could be best effected from this
encampment, becanseel could h. ra obtain the best intelli-
gen60; and,tny having apparently passed thedirect road to
them was likely to throw them off their guard, I accord-
ingly sent orders to halt the leading column, in order to
have rested men for the work. '

On joining Major Simmons' columns at this place I de-
