J. ADAM, Sec. to the Gar.-Gen.

Copy of a Report from Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas His-
fop, Bart, to the Governor-General and CononAnder in
Chief, dated Camp on the Soupta (opposite Matieidpoor),
431 Decembet, 1817.
M LoRD,—In my dispatch to your Lordship
Of (he 134 h instant, from Ongein, I had the ho-
now to report the inner ion, (Pi the preceding day,
of the third division with that tinder my personal
command, and the then uncertain state of our
negociai ions with the Government of Mulhar Row
flolCar.
In my subsequent address to. your Lordship, of
the 18th instant, front Faun Behar, I described the
further progress of these arrangements; and I now
beg to refer you for all the details connected n ith
the origin, progress, and ultimate ta:luie of the
.overtures in question, to the correspondenCe of
Brigadier-General Sir John Malcolm, your Lord-
ship's political agent at my head-quarters; which
be has regularly tltainialited since their comnience-
ment with Mr. Secretary Adam, as also to his
final report thereon, stating the termination of
every prospect of amicable adjustment.
Thus situated, there appearedoo alternative left
to me, for the vindication of the honour of the Bri-
tish Government, and of yotir Lordship, than that
which I determined upon, and which was instantly
followed up by the attack of Holkar's army.in the
position it occupied, and of which event I bad the
satisfabtion of apprising your Lordship, on the
evening of the 21st instant, by a few lines from
the field of battle.
On the 20th instant, I -moved to within seven
• miles. of the army of Mulhar Row Holkar, in the
hope that this advance might alarm the counsel-
lors of that Prince into more pacific measures;
but in this expectation I was disappointed, as my
piquets were attacked in the course of the day by
a considerable body of horse ; I moved in con-
sequence on the following morning towards the
enemy, and had advaneed but a short distance
when my line of march was attacked by their
horse. ,

On approaching the main body of their army, I
found it advantageously posted on the left bank of
the Soopra, nearly opposite the Maheidpoor, their
left flank protected by the bed of the river, and
the right by a vt ry difficult ravine,while their line,
which cos►ld he approached only by one ford
practicahl, for guns, was protected by several
ruined villde.es.
Atter reconnoitering their positinn,and finding,
ti:4l to 111111 either flank Would require a long de-
tour) and perceiving at thes.ame time that the
