;ill. William Grant Keir: K 111."1. reporting the
capture by assault of the strong tortress of Rai-
ree, beloni4ing to the 'State tit Sawnnt-Wartee,
against which the Brititili GOVertIIIICIO had been
inioeriously called upon, atter all negociation had
failed, to quip a force and obtain reparation for
injuries committed on the inhabitunts of the Bri-
tish territories, in violation of the Ileaty existing
between the two States.

The Governor in Council cannot contemplate,
withou,. feelings of the greatest admiration, the
activity, jpdgment, and zeal displayed by the Ma-
jor-Cienral and the troops under his command, in
the prompt execution of tne service in which they
were engaged.
The British force conqisting of the troops speci-
fied in the iitargin*, pv:.sect the frontier of the
Sko.erint-swariecterritoties on the Ist of February,
anti proceetied to invest the tort of Newtee, the

fiend On the 4,h. This success was immediately
toi:omed op, and the capture of Rairee effected in
the gallant manner detailed. in the Major- Grne.

much satisfaction the commendation hesto,ved by

COPY of a REPORT front Major-General Sir WILLIAM GRANT
KEIR, to the Adjutant-General, dated Camp, Rairee, 14th
February, 1819.
:•sta-1 tia4 the honour yesterday evening to
forward a hi ief repot.: of the success of the attack
opt the enemy's lilies before Rairee, and have now
the pleasure to acquaint you that the fort was this
morning taken possessiou of by a detachment
from SOY camp.
The 11,1fiisultirs experienced in the disembarka-
tion of the °ion:ince and stores retarded our ope-
rations its a considerable degree, but on the nigh!
of the 12;h lust. we succeeded in erecting our
batteries, anti opened on the tort at day-break the
next morning with four battering gnus and as
many eight-inch mortars, which were served with
such vieom and precision as to dismantle the
whole of the guns in the outer works in the
• course of all hour, when our fire was directed
against the general defence of the place ; about
three o'clock a breach was effected it, a curtain
the advanced outworks, anti a party of three hun-
dred and fifty grenadiers formed for the assault,
under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Clifford,
his :slairsty's S9ih regiment, The troops moved
to the attack about four o'clock, and passed the
breach without difficulty, driving the enemy in
considerable numbers toward the second lines,
which were immediately canted and a lodg-
mew effected within halt musket-shot of the up-
per for!, to which the enemy were }Hustled, and.
many bayoneted at the lower gate, which was for
a short time in our possession. The spirit and
rapidity of the attack, added to the advantageous
position which was gained by the advance of our
troops, struck the enemy with such terror, that
nearly the whole of the garrison evacuated the
fort during the night.
This morning Sambajee Sawunt proposed to
surrender, and was permitted to march out with

The Major-General coogist oldies the troops
oti the successful termination of the operations
Hgaiwit the fort of ft:titee, and bro that the Offi-
cers and men employed believe hits
sensible of their exemplary good conduct and ex-
ertions dorinK the siege.

The MAjor•General is impressed with n high
sense of the great advantage lie has derived from
the advice and assistance at-folded bins by Captain
Dickenson, of the Engineers, to whoge skill anti
indefatigable exertions he con,idets himself, in a
great degree, indebted fur the speedy reduction of
the place.

Lieut. Gronndwpitfr and the detachment of ST-

tillery have perVirmed their duties entirely to the
smi•faction of the NI:ljor-Genertil. The accuracy
of the firing in the batteries reflects the highest
credit on me Offiters who directed, and the exer-
tions and steadiness of the whole detachment,
merit the h:ghest aisc.
Capt. Laot and the Madras Pioneers bavtt
particularly divinguished therielves by the ala-
rity and perseverance with which they have (Hs.
chart:ed their laborious duties throughout the
whole of the service; and the Major-Genotal re-
quests Capt. Talbot to accept of this public ac-
knowledgement of the udvatitages he has derived
trout his exertions.

The Major-Genrrai is sorry he had not an op-
portunity of empioying the Almdrrts Cjvalry, Hs he
feels confident that their couduct %void(' have been

highly meritoriotas. H hhs, howevet. appreciat-
ed the zeal of Cornet Bridges on all occasions,
and part tculat ly noticed the dashing style in which
he led his detachment across the riser, to the sup•
port of the adv:.nced guard, on the 94 h
The whole of the ..7,tatr ttave merited the Major-.
General'a warmest approbation, and he begs them
to accept his sincere thanks fur their good con.
duct.

The whole of the troop. have uniformly con-
ducted themselves with credit ; hut it has fallen
more particularly to the lot of the detachment
which st ovine() the pettab and outworks of the
fort, to display that gallantry which. the Mijor.
General feels persuaded. is rommon to all ; arid he
begs to offer his highest tribute of applause and
thanks to Lieut -Colonel Clifford, C.B. fur the
spirit, judgment, and decision manifested by hint
on that occasion. The Major-General deems it
an net of justice to the gallant eugag,e4
yesterday to publish the following extract front
the report received from Lieutenant-Colonel
Clifford.

The Major-General cannot conclude this well.
eained testimonial of zeal, gallantry, and good
conduct, without expre-sing his acknowledgmento
for the judicious, spirited, and cordial co-opera-
tion of Lieutenatv Tanner, commanding the Hutt.
Company's cruiser Thee is. and he req,es,s that
Officer to convey to his ()dicers and cicv; his best
thanks for the or eritoriwis exertions since the
commencement of the Rieve.
