TO CAPTAIN BROCKMAN, STAFF OFFICER, DETACHMENT
OF FIELD FORCE, SAMANCHUR.
Sir,—l have the honour to send you 32 prisoners, and
I have to report for the information of the officer com-
manding the field force that an equal number of men
were killed by the detachment under my command. I
have no doubt that the whole of the rebels who at-
tempted their escape would have fallen to the share of
my men, had not the cavalry come up at the time I
was engaged with them ; but fearing lest my men should
injure the cavalry, I was obliged to sound the " Halt,"
and " Cease fire.' The effective assistance I have ren-
dered on this occasion, I can ascribe only to the able in-
structions I had previously received from Colonel Wal-
lace. I have the honour to mention that my party con-
sisted of 120 rank and file of the 20th M. N. I. and 21st
B. N. I. (50 of the 21st H. N. 1., and 70 of the 20th
M. N. L)--I have the honour to be, &c.,

REMARKS.

The whole of these guns are very old and unserviceable;
four of them were destroyed by the fire of our guns, and
two appear to be of Portuguese make, bearing the marks
" 1824."

A small quantity of loose powder of inferior quality
was found near the east gate of the fort, and a great
many stone shot.
