STORMING OF SAMANGHUR.
NOTIFICATION.—POLITICAL DEPARTMENT.
The Honourable the Governor in Council is pleased
to publish for general information the following dis-
patches from Major-General Delamotte, C. 8., command-
ing the southern division of the army, and from Lieut.-
Col. Wallace, of the 20th Regiment Madras Native In-
fantry, announcir.g the capture by storm, on the morn-
ing of the 13th instant, of the fort of Samanghur, occu-
pied by a body of insurgent Ghudkurries; and the defeat,
by a detachment of the sth Madras Light Cavalry,
under Captain Grseme, of another body of insurgents
who had approached that fortress with the object of re-
lieving the garrison and raising the siege.
In publishing these documents the Honourable the
Governor in Council has the greatest satisfaction in ex-
pressing the high sense he entertains of the gallantry
and soldier-like conduct displayed by the officers and
men of all arms composing the force engaged in these
operations.
By order of the Hon. the Governor in Council.

TO THE ADJUTANT-GENERAL OF THE ARMY, POONA.
Samanghur, Oct. 13.
Sir,—Yesterday was occupied in breaching the walls
in two places; in the evening one was reported practi-
cable by the engineer. It is with heartfelt satisfaction I
communicate the follewing:—A storming-party was pre-
pared to storm at daybreak this morning—two columns
under the command of Major Clemons, of the 20th Regi-
ment Madras Native Infantry. At daybreak the first
column entered and stormed the breach, closely followed
by the second. All opposition was soon overcome, and in
half an hour the storming-party had entire possession of the
fort of Samanghur. All have behaved in a most gallant
manner. Lieutenant Margary, Executive Engineer, was
with the leading column. The loss on our side has been
trifling: one Sepoy of the 20th Regiment Madras Native
Infantry killed, and four privates of the 2d European
Light Infantry wounded. About seventy were found
killed of the enemy, and 150 taken prisoners in the fort.
On the storming parties entering the fort, numbers
endeavoured to make their escape, but were cut up by
the cavalry, who were patrolling for that purpose.
Numbers have been taken prisoners attempting to escape,
among the number the rebel Subana Niekum, of noto-
riety, who has been severely wounded by sabre cuts.
The cavalry and portions of the storming party had
scarcely returned to their lines when the enemy were
discovered on an eminence in considerable numbers,
when I deemed it necessary to send the cavalry in pur-
suit, followed by 100 Europeans and 200 Sepoys. The
enemy being closely pursued, formed into a body to
receive the cavalry, who charged them and killed up-
wards of 100, and brought into camp nearly 200 pri-
soners.

I have only time to make this hasty report—the par-
ticulars will be forwarded by to-morrow's post for his
Excellency's information.—l have, &c.

TO THE ADJUTANT-GENERAL OF THE ♦RMY, POONA.

Sir,—With reference to my letter of yesterday's date,
hastily written, reporting, for his Excellency's informa-
tion, the capture of the important fortress of Samanghur,
I now do myself the honour to forward Lieutenant-Colo-
nel Wallace's detailed account of the operations of the
siege, and that officer's arrangements, which from time
to time met with my entire concurrence and apprebation:
the energy, activity, and skilful military knowledge dis-
played by that officer were fully developed in the dispo-
tions made for the attack and storming of the breach at
the dawn of day, to which I attribute the little loss we
have sustained ; the advance was fired upon from the
breach and flanks ; but a feeble resistance was made at
the breach ; the principal leaders taken in the fort ac-
knowledged they were taken by surprise ; many, how-
ever, defended their houses inside the fort.

I 'have now the pleasing task of reporting the valuable
services of Captain GrEeme, and the wing of the sth
Regimant of Madras Cavalry under his command, who
arrived from Kolapore just in time, after a most arduous
and fatiguing march, to render us most important aid,
in preventing the escape of the garrison, which was
most successfully carried into execution, and imme-
diately after, the complete destruction of a body of
the enemy, ho had the temerity to approach within
three miles of our camp, to succour the garrison of Sa-
manghur, and which I was an eye-witness to.
Captain Grmme's report is attached to Lieut.-Col. Wal-
lace's, together with Major Clemons and other officers',
employed on this occasion in command of their several
parties, to which I beg to refer his Excellency, together
with the report of casualties, which, I am truly happy to
state, are few in number.
To Lieut.-Colonel Wallace I am particularly indebted
for his seal and persevering exertions on all occasions ;
and I should not be doing justice were I to omit to bring
to his Excellency's notice the praiseworthy conduct of
every officer and individual composing this force, who
have on all and every occasion, under great privation,
fatigue, and inclemency of the weather, carried on their
duty in a most cheerful and soldier-like manner.— I have
the honour to be, &c. (Signed)
