Major-General H. Havelock, C. 8., to command the
force.

The important duty of first relieving the garrison of
Lucknow has been first entrubted to Major-General
Havelock, C. 8., and Major-General Outram feels that
it is due to this distinguished officer and the strenuous
and noble exertions which he has already made to effect
that object that to him should accrue the honour of the
achievement.

Major-General Outrarn is confident that the great end
for winch General Havelock and his brave troops have
so long and so gloriously fought will now, under the
blessing of Providence, be accomplished.
The Maj.)r-General therefore in gratitude for, and ad-
miration of the brilliant deeds in arms achieved by Gen.
Havelock and his gallant troops, will cheerfully wave his
rank on the occasion, and will accompany the force to
Lucknow in his civil capacity as Chief Commissioner of
Oude, and tendering his military services to General
Havelock as a volunteer.

On the relief of Lucknow the Major-General will re-
sume his position at the head of the forces.
rue fullowing order was issued on the 831110 evening
by General Havelock to the force about to proceed to
the relief of the garrison of Lucknow

FIELD FORCE AFTER ORDERS, BY GEN. HAVELOCK.

Cawnpore, Sept. 16.
Brigadier-General Havelock, in making known to the
column the kind and generous determination of General
Sir James Outram, K.C.8., to leave to him the task of
relieving Lucknow and rescuing its gallant and enduring
garrison, has only to express his hope that the troops
will strive, by their exemplary and gallant conduct in
the field, to justify the confidence thus reposed in them.

- From Camp Bagagunge, Sept. 22, dated Cawnpore,
Sept. 24, 5'5 p.m.
From Sir James Outram to the Governor-General.
The rebels along the road are flying before our force
which marched 20 miles, and yesterday 14 miles—their
retreat too precipitate to enable them to destroy the
Bunnee Bridge. Only four more guns taken, but many
have been cast into wells, and only four passed the
BuLroe Bridge, Firing at Luckrow distinctly heard, and
royal salute by our 24 pounders;to announce our approach
to our friend. Our army will have reached Luck now
either last night or this morning.

LUCKNOW.
The force under General Havelock, skirting the city,
forced their way to the Residency against strong oppo-
sition, and relieve the brave garrison on the evening of
the 25th. The relief was providentially just in time,
as subsequent examination showed that two miles all
ready for loading had ru❑ far under our chief works,
which, if sprung, must have placed the garrison at the
mercy of the rebels. On the 2Gth the batteries of the
besiegers were assaulted and taken, and the ex-King's
sons tied tewards Fyzabad,
The loss bas been heavy. The brave and determined
General Neill is, alas, killed ; also Cowper. of Artillery ;
Webster, 78th Fuot ; Paokenham, 84th ; Bateman,
64th ; and Warren, 12th Light Cavalry. The enemy
are deserting the city by thousands.
The following is supplied from Government :

Lucknow Residency, Sept. 26.
Yesterday Havelocks's hin
force, 2,000 men of all arms, the teat being in occupation of Alainbagh, charge of
Seikhs, had forced their way into the city under serious,
opposition skirting the city to the right to avoid enemy
s
Rdeesfencidence.
y, The force was much opposed up to the
which was attained in the evening, just in
time, for an after-exatnination showed two mines all
ready for loading had been run far under our chief works,
which, if sprung, must have placed the garrison at the
mercy of the reb4s. Loss severe. About 400 killed and
wounded. Amongst the former Gen. Neill ; Cowper,
Artillery ; Webster, 98th ; Packenhani, 34th ; Bateman,
64th ; Warren, 12th Irregular Cavalry.

cAPr. J. W. HENRY.
FROM MB. S. CRIMEAN, IST ASSISTANT MAGISTRATE OF
AHMEDNUGGEB, TO THE POLITICAL ERCRETARY TO
GOVERN3IENT, BOMBAY.

Nassick, Oct.
Sir,—l have the honour to forward the accoin t 3
P
statements regarding the affair which took place the
hne-
before edterday with the Bheels at Nandoor, and in
which Lieut. Henry, the Superintendent of Police, was
unfortunately killed while charging at the head of his
men.
2. From t!le accompanying statements I think it is
clev that, whil, every credit is due to the memory of
the late Lieut. Henry fur the gallant and determined
way in which he led the attack, yet the attack itself
was, owing to the enormous superiority of the Bheels in
point of numbers and their strong position, a very ill-
