Camp Bindkee, Nov. 1, 8 p.m.
" A battle was fought this afternoon, near the
village of Kudjnea between the Dinapore mutineers
and a detachment of 500 men, with 2 nine-pounder
guns, under Colonel Powell. The enemy had
three guns, were in a strong position and had a
numerous force. Their position was carried, two
guns captured, and their camp plundered. I re-
gret to say that Colonel Powell was killed. The
object in view having been accomplished, I shall
return to Futtehpore.

Extract from a despatch dated Kunoord, 20th of
October, from Brigadier Showers, enclosed in letter
to Agra from C. B. Saunders, Esq., C. S., dated
23d of October.
"A cavalry force which, when advancing from.
Dadreo on Jhujj ur, Brigadier Showers sent forward
to cut off fugitives from Jhujjur towards Kunrood,
was eminently successful. From 300 to 400 were
destroyed, and the Jhujjur forces are believed to
have been irretrievably • dispersed. In continua-
tion of this movement Showers sent on another
cavalry detachment, consisting of a wing of
the 6th Dragoon Guards, and Hodson'e
Horse, to proceed by forced marches to Kunoord
under command of Colonel Custance of the 6th
Dragoons. The movement was executed with ability
and marked success. The cavalry detachment
reached Kunoord on the morning of the 19th.
Colonel Cuatance finding the gates closed called
upon the place to surrender, on which they were
opened and the fort taken possession of with 10
guns (8 of which were mounted on the bastion),
a quantity of military stores, and nearly five /akhs
of treasure. About 60 men (who laid down their
arms) were found in the fort. About 500, said to
be Poorbeas, fled in the night, some of whom were
cut up by Hodson."
