India Sept. 28, ISIS.

fl spatchet have been received at the East India
[louse, from the Governor in Council of Bombay,
of Which Disritches, and of their Inelosures, tic
following are copies and extracts :

GENERAL ORDER BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE COVER-

NOR-GENERAL.
Camp Owreeah, cm the left bank of Jumna,
1.6.2), 1818.

The Governor-General and Commander-in-
Chief cannot quit the field without offering his
best acknowledgments to the Officers command-
ing the several divisions of the comb;ned army,
for the signal zeal and ability with which each
has In the part assigned loin in the late ex-
tensive operations.
To Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Ii slop it
might seem superfluous to oiler praise ; yet there
are titles to applause which shou!d not be absorb-
ed in the lustre of victory. The temper and for-
bearance with which his Excellency (possessing
all the consciousness of superiority from the qua-
lity of his troops) eittlea%oated to avoid a nip-
tore with liolkar, and the judgment with which
he improved success after his conciliatory efforts
had tailed, demand high commendation. The
chivalrous intrepidity displayed by Brigadier-Ge-
neral Sir John Malcolm in the battle of Method-
pore, and the admirable tact manifested by him
in the subsequent negotiations, advanced the pub-
lic interest no less than they oistinguished the in-
dividual ; while the relief of the Residency at
Nagpore, and the defeat of the Rajah's forces,
through the prompt arid decisive energy of Bri-
gadier-General Doveton, complete the dignified
exploits of the army of the Deccan north of the
Godavery.
Major-General Sir Wm. Grant Keir, with the
Bombay division from Gozerat, has exhibited the
most meritorioas activity, with important advan-
tage to the issue of the campaign.
The leaders of the Bengal divisions have a simi-
lar.claim on the Governor-General's approbation ;
the vigilance and judicious movements by which
Major-General Marshall constrained the Titula-
ries in their retreat to keep that route to which
the Commander-in-Chief had indicated his plan
of confining them, were of extraordinary conse-
quence. Lieutenant-Colonel Adams, with his di-
vision, ably co-operated in this object ; and lie
subsequently, by the skilful direction of his de-
tachments, gave the finishing blow to the rem-
nant of the Titularies, which had escaped by an
incalculable chance when nearly surrounded by the
two divisi- ei-cady mentioned, and by that of
Major-General Donkin. The strenuous exertions,
and sz..entiriC marches, of the latter Officer 'cut off
the retreat attempted by the Pindaries towards
the north ; a derangement of their plans which
precipitated their destruction, Whence the ser-
vice was equally creditable to the Major-General
told beneficial to the public.

Though the course of events did not give to
Major-General Sir Davi,i Ochterlony any opening
for the exercise of that vigour and re3onrce which
have so brilliantly divinguished his former profes-
sional commands, there can be no one in this ar-
my unable to comprehend how solidly effectual the
positions and conduct of the Major-General have
been in promoting the object of tranquillizing
Central India.

Fortune was more favourable to Major-General
Brown in presenting opportunities; and he avail-
ed hiaoself of them wilh a deci,ion and style of ar-
rangement affording honourable proof of his nil-
laary talents.

Br i.:tidier-General nardyman, by a gallant and
well-conducted action, reduced a considerable ter-
ritory, and extinguished an opposition which
threatened to be troublesome; and the judicious
disposition which Brigadier-General Toone wade
of his force, prevented any enemy's attempting
to oistract our attention from the objects of the
campaign, by an inroad into Behar.
If the conduct of Brigadier-Generals Smith,
Munro, and Pritzlcr, in the Poona State, be not
here particularised, it is only because their ope-
rations are still in process, so that the praise
Which could be awarded, large as it would be,
might prove inadequate to achievements, the an-
nunciation of which has nut yet reached the Go-
vernor-General. .

Throughout the late enterprise, the alacrity and
indefatigable exer ions of every department in the
army have been such as to deserve the Governor-
General and Commander-in-Chief's warm appro-
bation.

The t:lteration produced, within three months,
in the state of Central India, is beneficial to the
inhabitants in a degree which the most sanguine
could scarcely have ventured to hope ; and to every
Officer who has been engaged in this undertaking,
the remembrance of having had a share in effect-
ing a change sra interesting to humanity, will keep
pace with that consciousness of having advanced
the prosperity of the Honourable Company, by
efforts of zeal and courage, for wl►ich the Govtr
nor-General offers his earnest thanks, howsoever
unequal that acknowledgment may be to the merit
which calls it forth.

By command of his Excellency, the Most Noble
the Governor- Genvral,
J. AT)AM, Sec. to the Gov.• Gen.

Copy of a Report from Brh;adier-General.Pritzler to the Ad-
joitant-General of the Army, dated Camp dear Sirogisor,
March, 161 S.

Stg,—l have the honour to report, for the in-
formation of his Excellency the Commander-in-
Chief, that the fort of Singhur (5) was invested
by the troops under toy command on the 20th tilt.
that ou the 22d a battery of four mortars and
t wo howitzers was opened to the southward of the
fort under the hills, anal another of one mortar and
one howitzer was established on a bill to the east-
ward, distant about six hundred yards from the
fort; on the 24th two six-pounders were added to
this battery.

On the 25t1t a battery of two twelve and two
six-pounders was established on a hill to the
westward of the fort, distant about one thousand
one hundred yards, in order to enfilade and keep
down the fire previous to the erection of the
breaching batteries.
On the morning of the 28th two breaching bat-
teries, of two eighteen-pounders each, were com-
pleted, and opened their fire.
Our fire, from the commencement of the siege
until yesterday, was returned by the enemy with
great spirit, and an effort was made by them to
oppose our possession of the heights to the east-
ward and west wat d of the fort ; I am, therefore,
surprised that our loss of men (a return of
which is inclosed) has been so inconsiderable.

Yesterday afternoon the enemy made proposals
to surrender the fort, which were not acceded to;
but this morning the articles of capitulation (of
which the inclosed is a copy), were signed by me,
in concurrence with the opinion of the Honour-
able Mr. Elphinstone, the British Commissioner.
The garrison, it appears, consisted of about 100
Arabs, 600,Gosains, and 500. natives of the Con-
can, of whom about 30 were killed and 100
wohoded,

The great natural strength of the fortress, and
the only assailable point (the gateway) being at
so great a height, very much increased the diffi-
culties of the siege, as both ordnance and amn►u-
nition could only be got up to the batteries by
manual labour.

I do myself the honour to inclose a copy of the
Orders l have issued upon this occasion ; and I
have great pleasure in making known to the COM..
mander-in-Chiet that the conduct of every indivi-
dual under my command gave me the utmost sa-
tisfaction.

From the experience and professional know-
ledge of Lieut.-Colonel Dalrymple I derived the
greatest possible assistance, as well as from Capt.
Nutt, the commanding engineer, and Lieutenant
Grant of that corps, who acted as commanding
engineer, until the arrival of the former Officer
front Poona.

have the honour to inclose a return of the
ordna►►ce and stores which have been found in
the fort.

I have the honour to be, &c.

1818, by !!!igadier-Generat Pritzlar.
Parole—Singbur.
Sughtir having surrendered, BrigAdier-General
Prizier congratulate, the division under his coin-
intid, upon having gained possession of so strong
a nrtress with so little loss.
xLe Brigtulit r-Geueral is much obliged to Lieut.

Colonel D3lrymple for his exertions during the
.slege, and the early surrender. of the place is it
a great degree to be attributed to his professional
experience.

Captain'Nort, the Brigadier• Gui eral feels
much indebted, as tvell as to Lieut. Gcaut, who,
previous to the ►►rrival of Captain Nutt, ,vas the
senior Officer of Engineers, for the n►anntr
which the several duties of that departt»ent were
conducted, and he had occasion particolatly to
notice the very zealous manner in which all the
Officers of that corps performed their dirty. ,
The good practice of the artillery is visibly
shewn upon the enemy's works, and by the loss
which the enemy has sustained ; and the steady
conduct of the artillery in the batteries, reflects
the greatest possible credit upon both the Officers
and men of that corps.

On the conduct of the troops generally, tht:Bri-
gAdier-Gener,.l has only to observe, that the
cheerfulness with which they performed all the
laborious dirties of the sie,4e, Avbich from the po-
sition of the tort were great, and the gallantly
they dispkyed whenever they came in cooled
with the enemy., are sufficient prvols to convince
him that they are equal to overcome any difficulty
Milo' can he surmounted by soldiers ; and which.
opinion he will not fail to convey to his Excel-
lency the Commiander-in•Chief.
'The conduct of the pioneers has been such
as to give the Brigadier-General the greatest sa-
tisfaction, By Order,

Extract from a Dispatch from the Hon. MouvrsTuAßT EL-
PH 1 NSTOS to the Governor-General and Command4r-in-

dated Camp, ai. Yter, 7th Nl,tich, ISIS.

On the 13th of February, Brigadier• General
Smith proceeded in pursuit of the Peishwah.—
Bajee Row was then at Solapoor, More than one
hundred miles to the east of the General ; a large
body of his horse was at Khuttow, in the !►ills be-
t wren Sattara and the River Maui', and his in-
fantry and grins were in the neighbourhood of
Kerrar, on the Kistna. It appeared to be the
Peishwah's intention to draw all these troops to-
gether, and probably to move to the northward,
where, after being joined by Ram Deen and Barra
Bhye, he probably meant to stand an action. Fle
had been diverted front this plan by the wish to
seize on the treasures of the hoe Sedasheo Mann-
kaisor at Solapoor and Tamboornee, and he was
returning from the former place when Brigadier-
General Smith obtained in►elligence of his ap-
proach. The manner in which General Smith
availed himself of this opportunity has already
been reported to your Excellency (6). The re-
sult has been, the precipitate retreat of the Peish-
wah, the rescue of the Rajah of Sattara, and the
deati► of Gokla. The Peishwah passed Ilurra on
the 27th, where the Native Officer commanding
the party very gallantly made a sally on one of the
divisions, killing and taking several men and
horses. Another division attempted, without
success, to take Newassa from Captain Gibbon's
sebundies : at length he reached Copergauna,
where he was on the Ist inst ; but as his Excel-
lency Sir Thomas Bishop was to be at Casserbury,
within 30 miles, on the same day, it is probable
that. ti►e Peishwah has before this been again at•
tacked, or compelled to return to the southward
as rapidly as he left it., lit the event of such a
movement, he will have great difficulty in escap-
ing General Smith, and must Soon lose a great part
of his army by desertions.
During these operations of General Smith, Ge-
neral Pritzler moved towards Singhur, which,
front the nature of the roads, he could not reach
till the 20th. The tort is of great strength, anti
was obstinately defended, but surrendered, as
your Excellency is already informed, on the 2d
instant.

At the same time that Singhur was invested,
Colonel Deacon marched against Chakun (7).—
Colonel Deacon, on crossing the Godavery, drove
the enemy's garrison out of Newassa (8), a
place of considerable strength, and one irons
which the Ni art's eountry and our communica-
tions bad sui-ered annoyance and interruption.
He then marched against Eurra (9), a place which
greatly annoyed the villages that had submitted
to the Collector of Ahmechinggur ; it was capable
of a long defence, but being vigorously attacked
by Colonel Deacon it was soon intimidated into
a surrender. Colonel Deacon then proceeded tO
Chakun, where he was joined on the 21st by ord-
nance and artillerymen from Ponnah. On the
22(1 his breaching battery was completed, after
some casualties, when the
.garrison surrendered
themselves prisoners. The•artilleryinen, furnished.
front Poonah to act azainst (Thal:nu, have now
proceeded to Loy,tior (10), Where the 2d batta-
lion 6th native infaniry, and a detail of the 2d
battalion of the isi, had already been detached for
the purpose of joining a detachment under Lieut.-

about 380 Europeans and 800 natives, with a
battering train, had heel/ ordered front the Con-

ed with a convey to • General Smith, have left

I have apprised the Supreme Government, and

GENERAL ORDER BY THE CaMMANDER.IN-CHIEF.
Head-Quarters, Army of the Deccan, Camp at
• Aurungabad, :tit %iarch' 1819.
Lieutenant-General bir Thomas Ht‘lop having,
in pursuance of the authority vested in him for
that purpose by the Most Noble the Governor-
General and Commander-in-Chief, made such ar-
rangements as were necessary towards the break-
ing up of the army ot the Deccan, his Excellency
proceeds to issue his final orders as Commander-
iu-Chief of that army.
Frons and after the present date, therefore, the
designntion of the army of the Deccan is disconti-
'tined, and the corps commanded by Brigadier-
Generals Stnith and D,,vetoa will revert to the
footing on which. they stood previously to the
Lieutenant-General's assumption ot the -chief
•cOmmand.

• As the divisions, of which Brigadier• Generals
Doveion aud Smith are to retain the command,
will still for some time exceed the orilinat'y
Amount of the subsidiary forces, which consti-
tuted their original commands, and will continue
to he employed in operations intimately connected
with t in which they have been engaged since
they have leeek-eel that rank, Lieutenant-General
Sir Thomas liislop notifies to the army, that it is
not at present• the intention of his Excellency the
Most Noble the Guteroor-General to recall the
commissions issues to the above Office's ; that on
similar. rounds Brigadier-Generals Munro, Prit z-
ler, Sir J. Malcolm, and Sir Augustus Floyer,
will also► retails fur the present the rank of
gather-General, and that Brigadier -Generals
Mourn, 61bidi, and Prim zler, will continue to act
in, the same relations to each other as they now

Lieoteeant•General Sir Thomas Elision an-
ihfaises the genvral and petsonal Staff at the
heed-quarters to continue to Inaintain their field
esr,blislintri until the arrival of his Excellency
at Fort Sr. George.
Sir Thomas lii slop would have deemed it quite
vines fl!,•ms, attcr the high and flattering enco-
wimp, bestowed on the army of the Deccan by
Lis Ex.ceLency tilt. Most Noble the Governnc••Ge-
Treral C,,,-mander-iu-Chief, to express those
which the gallant artily he 11,s ad tile tionour to
conoo,nd thoogliout so esetottil a campaign is in
so prc-eminent a degree entitled to personally
from hint. Impelled, however, by a sense of
what is due to them from their undeviating ob-
servance of the most exact discipline, thereby
throwing a lustre on their acknowledged achieve-
:news, he cannot resist the opportunity whiCh
Cie present moment affords of bearing the most
public testimony to their further just deserts.
Each and every division of the army having en-
tided itself to anti received the Lieutenant-Gene-
ral's thanks and applause, it becomes unneces-
sary now to revert to the particular occasions
which called forth these acknowledgments ; no-
thing is therefore left to his Excellency to repeat,
but that they have all most nobly done their duty,
thereby leaving on his mind an indelible impres-
sion of admiration. To have been placed at the
head at the army of the Deccan must, to the
latest period of his life, prove the source of his
greatest pride, as the conferring on him, by the
Most Noble the Governor-General in Council, of
so distinguished a command, must ever claim the
acknowledgments of his utmost gratitude.
'co Major-General Sir William Grant heir, to
Brigadier-Generals Munro, Doveton, Sir John
Malcolm, Smith, and Pritzler, and to Lieutenant-
Colonel Adairs, who commanded the several di-
visons of the army in the field, Sir Thomas His-
lop once more tenders to their acceptance the of-
fer of his most sincere and grateful thanks for the
eminent services they have performed, while serv-
ing under his command; and his Excellency re-
quests they will each do him the favour of con-
veying the same to the corps which have cow-
piied their division during the campaign.
The Licut.-General avails himself with pleasure
of the present occasion, to record the high sense
he entertains of the able and energetic assistance
be has received during the whole of the campaign,
ftom his General and Personal Staff, in sonduct-
their respective departments and duties, which
jostle entitles them to his unqualified thanks and
approhation. His Excellency at the same time
deems it proper to remark, 'that if the Commissa-
riat arrangements, during the short period w:,en
the' army was in the field in 1815, were such as to
deluded his particular applause on that occasion,
the more arduous and complicated duties re-
quired of the Department during the late service,
-which were most wisfactorily fulfilled under cur-
-cumstances of the greatest difficulty and embar-

rassment, give Lielitenant.Colonel Morrison,
aided as he has been hv the indefatigab!e exer-
tions of Mackintosh, and the Offirers
of his Department, the strongest claim to his Ex-
cellency's acknowledgments and high commen-
dation.

All returns, reports, and communications from
the Army of the Deccan,. are to be forwarded
through the prescribed -channels to Sir Thomas
Hislon's bead.quarters up to this date inclusive ;
and his 'Excellency will reserve to himself the
right of giving such further orders and instruc-
tions as may be necessary on all points at present
under reference, or requiring submission tor
approval to superior authority, up to the same
period.

Extract from a Dispatch froinsthe Governor in Council at
Rimhay to the Secret Committee, dated 25th April, ISIS.
We hare the honour of transmitting to your Hon. Com-
mittee the following documents, viz.—
Letter from his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, with
accompaniments, reporting the latest operations of, the force
in the Goncan, under the command of Colonel Prother.
Dispatch from the Officer commanding at Malwan, an-
nouncing the occupation of the forts at Itaingbur (13) and
Cantita.
P. S. Accounts have been received of the reduction of the
torts of Thula (14) and Ghosala (15), by the detachment un-
der the command of Lieutenant-Col. Protiter, and of Drag-
bur by the force under Litutenant-Colonel huhu:li, C.D.

Extract from a Report from Lieutenant-Colonel Prother to
the Adjutant-General, dated Camp, at Indapore, April 17,

1818. ,
This morning, on arriving at the present ground, I heard
that., Minot a mile and a half distant, there were 500tuen un-
der one of the 'fella Cullabitars, posted in a stock ,de. I de-
tached immediately the light company of the 139th regiment,
also the flank companies of the ist hattalioo sth regiment.
under Captain Rose, of his Majesty's 89th regiment, and the
whale of the auxiliary horse, under Brigade-Major Moore,
who handsomely offered his services'on the occasion.
The result of the service was rery•distingoislied ; the plan
of attack on the three different stockades admirable ; and I
base the honour to send, for the information of his Excellency
the Commander-in-Chief, and perusal, a copy of toy order,
which particularises the affair.
The Poonah auxiliary horse were happy in overtaking
party of the enemy under the Dewait ; they disperseit so fast
and so many different ways amongst the jungle, that it was
impossible to prevent the slaughter or take prisoner s ; and
had it not been for the Officer whit commanded, in directing
his attention to the Dewan, who had the advantage of being.
mounted, it was not improbable he might have escaped ; it is
therefore with great satisfaction I bring Brigade• Major
itiloore's eiinduct to your Excellency's notice.
It is also with a considerable degree of satisfaction.' bring
forward Captain Rose, of his Majesty's 89th regiment, as hav-
ing done every thing for the success of the enterprise that
(mold possibly be effected..
Indeed the conduct of every Officer and man deserves I
should bestow the only meed in my power, yet at the same
time a most honourable reward, that of bringing them forward
to his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief's consideration.
Front the information I have extorted front the flewan, I
find Tella to be but slightly garrisoned, and considering it
would be most inconvenient to take on the guns, I propose
leaving them ow the present ground, and try if it wall be
possible to escalade. I march to-morrow morning to Tella,
and hope to give his Excellency further particulars by the
next post.
Ryghtir is only nine coss distant; I should he most happy
to find that my letter of yesterday met with the Commander-
in-Chief's approbation.

which event we beg leave to offer our cordial congratulations,
and we have the further satisfaction of addiag, that by a let-
ter subsequently received from Mr. Elphinstone, we have
been informed, that all the villages in the Peishwati's
country are filled with his fugitives, followers, &c. and that
the dispersion of his adherents appears to be complete. No
certain intelligence has been received where Bajee Row him-
self is, nor what troops are still with him
A letter from the Provisional Collector of Ahmednuggar to

A letter from Mr. Elphinstone, dated the 7th of this

Extract from a Dispatch from Brigadier-General Sir John
Malcolm to the Governor-General and Cominander-itt-
Chief, dated Camp, at Banglee, WI April, 1813,
Your Lordship has been informed by my reports in the po-
litical and military departments, of the proceedings I have
recently taken against the Pindaric Chiefs, Chectoo and
Itanjun, who, after their Night to Blioopaal, continued to
lurk, with a low followers, in their old haunts, amid the fo-
rests and mountains of this country. The consequence of
my operations has been the surrender of Banjul', and though
Chceton has tied for the moment with about twenty fol-
lowers, I 'oust hope that the arrangements I have made, and
the correspondence I hare established with the different
Chiefs of this country, will ultimately succeed in securing the
person of this freebooter; he is in great distress, and at pre-
sent totally without weans of gi►•ing us any annoyance

Copy of a Dispatch from Lieutenant-Colonel J. W. Adams,
C. 8., to Brigadier-Gen. Doveton, dated 17th April, 1818.
Stß,—l have the honour to inform you, that in consequence
of intelligence I bad receised of Bajee Row being in full
force at Peepulhoote, I marched last night from 2alumdeo at
nine o'clock, in hopes of surprising him by day-light. On
reaching Peepulheole, I found the enemy had moved on to
Sewny, and resolved to follow him up without delay ; a little
after sun-rise, I encountered his advanced party, in full
'march, driven back to the Northward, I am induced to be-
lieve, by the intelligence of your movements on Pandur-
conrah, and perfectly ignorant of our approach. I pursued
them over the most difficult country that can be imagined,
and came upon the Peishwah's united force in an extensive
valley near Sewny.
I am happy to state, that I have been more successful than
could have been expected, considering the rocks and jungles
through which the cavalry and horse artillery were obliged
to act.
The number of killed: on the Part of the enemy, may be
from three to four hundred. Four tine brass guns, about
six-pounder calibre, and one considerably larger, with their
proportion of tumbrils and stores, have fallen into toy-hanii.;
three elephants, nearly two hundred camels, and som, trea
sure, besides a variety of valuable property, the aim" of
which I have not as yet been aisle to ascertain. Th.: measured
distance of the road from Alumdeo to this place IS. St miles,
the distance in the course of operations, ns marebedby tine
troops, considerably greater; I have consequently deened it j
necessary to halt to morrow, as well to refresh the truss as
afford time fur the baggage and supplies to join ; afterhis
t.
shall have the sincerest pleasnra in co-operating with yir and
receiving your instructions as to the best method of (ether
harassing the enemy, on whose troops the surprise 0 this.
morning may, I trust, have a happy effect; dissensioeund,

Extract from a Letter from Lieutenant Pottinger, Proriiional
Collector of A h inednoggur, to he Honourable Mouritstnart
Elphinstone, Mated 30th April, 1818.
I have much pleasure in informing you, that almost the
whole of the body of horse that entered the Newassa (3)
Pergonnah, on the 27th inst., and by whoa' a consideralite
degree of alarm was excited in this part of the country, have
dispersed and returned to their respective villages, under the
terms of your second Proclamation.

Ran► been (2,1) is still abroad, with about one thon,and
fire hundred men, hot the inhabitants of walled tillages seem
to speak of him with contempt; and I hate no doubt but
that is very small body of auxiliary horse would cut him up,
as his horses and men are stated to be exhausted to the last
degree.

Ste.—T did myself the honour to forward last night, for
the information of Brigadier-General Smith, a letter Ihich
I received yesterday from Appa Dessye INlpautaker, stating
that he was encamped at Goondy, having quitted Bajee Row,
with the intention of making his suom►ssion to the Hon. Mr.
Elphinstone.
. I ►uavched from Bheer, at one o'clock this morning, with a
view of intercepting the enemy. On the march 1 was informed
that he was moving on the Conierry Gliaut ; I accordingly
changed my direction considerably to the southward, in the
hope of crossing his route. After moving about fire miles its
the new direction, and altogether about thirty, I Caine in
sight of his line of march. He formed upon a rising ground
as if to await nor attack. A river lay between us, after cross-
ing which 1 formed a hue and advanced with the intention of
charging; when we had approached within four hundred
yards, a ttig of truce was brought forward, and I advanced
and met Nepaunker ; he informed me that be would submit
to any orders'l had to give. I required of him to accompany
me to Ahmednuggur.
Chintiajee Row Appa, the youngest brother of Bajee Row,
is in Nepautiker's camp, and submits to the same terms. 1
shall aceordingly n►atch on Ahorednuggur, agreeably to you!'

six elephants and sixty camels, some of them apparently laden
with treasure.

Camp, Chidtpnur, 9th. May, 18 18.

The Commanding Offic:r has received a Dispatch from
Captain Davies, commanding the reformed horse (acting
upon the right through the Blicer district in clearing the
country of straggling parties of the enemy's dispersed army;,
announcing his having coini7ig up with a body of the enemy,
after a march of thirty miles, belonging to Appa Dessve
and having with him Chinnajee Appa Saheb, the
hrother of Bajee Row, the late Peishwah.
The enemy, to the number of between two and three thou-
salad, drew up with a nulla in his front, as if to engage the re-
formed horse. Captain Davies having crossed the mina, and
formed, was preparing to charge, when within four hundred
yards of the enemy, he sent out a flag of truce-, by which
those Chiefs and their troops came into unconditional sub-
mission to the ant hority of the British Government.
Brigadier-General Smith has great satisfaction in announc-
ing this event to the division, and recording his entire appro-
bation of the eondoct of Captain Davies, which has been
every thing that was requisite to the spirit, prudence; and
moderation expected from a British Officer.

Brigadier-General Smith requests Captain Davies will re-
ceive his best thanks and tender them to the European Offi-
cers, sirdars, and troops under his command, accompanied
with his admiration of their steadiness and forbearance on an
occasion so highly creditable to them, and important to the

I do myself the hotour to lay before you a copy of a letter
from Lickenant-Couttel Prother, dated 10th instant, report-
ing that the fortress of Ryghur had been surrendered by the
enemy, and 'take. possession of by the troops under' Lis com-
mand.
I beg leave t, offer my-cordial congratulations to your Ho-
nourable Boad on the brilliant termination to the very labo-
rious duties hat have fallen to Lieut.-Colonel Prother and
die troops ti der his command, since the commencement of
the war, aid which most justly entitle them to every praise
for rhei• great zeal and persevering exertions, which have
heel' !lost conspicuous and unremitting, but particularly so
on tip present occasion.
Tie success of the detachment has been much aided by the
science of the 'artillery officers, greater proof of which need
sot he adduced than has been displayed at Ityghur, for not-
withstanding its. stupendous height and extensive area on the
op, shells were thrown into every part of it, and the Palace
set on fire, which no doubt greatly tended to determine the
enemy to surrender. -
