NOTIFICATION.

FORT WILLIAM,
_FOREIGN DEPARTMENT,

INlAnca 12.

The Governor-General in Council has great pleasure
in publiehinee the accompanying despatch" from Lieute-
rant-Gcneral Sir James Outram, K.C.B.
It describes a new success of the British army in P.r-
sia, achieved, between the 3d and the 9.1 of February,
against a force much superior in number, and in the face
of difficulties which have made conspicuous the energy
and promptitude of the commander arid of the officers
associated with him, as well as the courage, discipline,
and cheet fulness of the troops.
The rapid and toilsome night-marches, deliberately
planned and eiccemplished with precision ; the inclement
weather, against which no protection of any kind was
available to men cr officers ; the steady resistance an
attack in circumstances the most trying to the patience
and order of an army ; and the utter rout and contu-ion
of the enemy with very heavy loss, when the morning
light enabled our soldiers to discern their assailants,—
have marked this operation against the' Persian en -
trenched camp at Berazoon, as one 'of which the force
under Sir James Outrain'e command may well be proud.
In the course of it officers and men hare exhibit,cl all
the qualities which make an army invincible.
To Lieutenant-General Sir James Outran, and to his
brave Companions in Arms, the Govern ir-General in
Council desires to offer au early assurance of the warm
approbation and thanks which they have so well earned.
These are especially due to Major-General Stalker, C. 8.,
and to Colonel Lugard, C.B , Chief of the Staff, who are
described by Sir J. Outram as having guided the troops
to victory in the time—most happily not of long con-
tinuance—during which he was disabled by a severe fail
of his horse. But they are due to all of every rank who
have taken share in this signally successful exploit,
which sae called fur extraordinary exertions from a 1, and
in which a'l have borne themselves with gallantry.
The Governor-General in Council will have the great-
est satisfaction in expressing to the Honourable Court of
Directors his appreciation of the service rendered, and of
the manner in which it was performed.
Tee Governor-General in Council has to lament the
loss of one gallant young officer—Lieutenant Ft ankland,
of the 21 European Regiment—who, acting as Brigade
Maj er of Cavalry, fell dead in the first of the brilliant
charges by which our small body of Hoiso on that day
distinguished itself. Captain Forbes, commanding the
31 Regiment of Light Cavalry, and Lieut. Greentree, of
her Majesty's 64th Regiment, have been severely
wounded. But, upon the whole, the casualties on the
side of the British Forces have been few compared with
the very heavy lb-;s inflicted upon the enemy both in men
land munitions of war.

By Order of the Right lion. the Governor General
in Council,
G. F. EDMONSTONE,
Sccrctary to the Government of India.
