LOSS OF THE ADELE.

Accounts were received on Wednesday last of the
total loss of the barque Adele, from hence to the Mau-
ritius, on the night of the 4th instant, while attempt-
ing the passage between the Cherbaniani Bank and
the island of Chittae. She struck upon a coral reef,
we presume the one on which the Shaw Byrumgore
was lost some years ago, and hence called the Shaw
Byrumgore Reef. The masts were immediately cut
away, and every attempt made to get her off; but
owing to the heavy sea running, all their exertions
were useless. Fortunately she held together till day-
light of the 511, otherwise not a soul would have
been saved. As it was, twenty-four persons appear
to have been drowned; the remainder succeeded in
reaching the island of Chittae, where they were hos-
pitably received by the inhabitants. On the 13th,
the captain and seven of the crew started in the long
boat for the coast, and reached Calicut on the 15th or
16th. The remaining officers, crew, and passengers
expected to be able to leave for Cochin about the end
of the month. They were in all ninety-five souls on
board.—Bombay Times, July 30.

Jellalabad, July 29, 1842.

Sir,—l have the honour to forward herewith a copy
of my letter to the Adjutant General of the Army of
this date, for ardingcopies of letters andother documents
from Brigadier Monteath, reporting the result of an at-
tack on the enemy in the Shinwaree Valley.
The loss sustained by the et.emy must have been con-
siderable, for in a letter which one of the chiefs addressed
to Captain M•Gregor on the 28th instant., he states that
they were still burying their dead. The effect in the
whole valley by such a complete defeat of the Shinwarees,
and the destruction of so many of their forts, will be pro.
ductive of the most beneficial effects.—l have, &c.

Head Quarters, Simluh, Camp Jellalabad, July '29, 1842.
Sir—l have the honour to forward for the information
of his Excellency the Commander in Chief a copy of a
letter, dated Camp Mazeena, 27th instant, from Brigadier
Monteath, C. 8., commanding the troops in the Shinwaree
Valley, together with copies of the documents to which it
r&fers. Although the loss of the enemy on this occasion
has not been stated by Brigadier Monteath, I have every
reason to believe, from authentic sources, it has been
considerable. One of the chiefs, Shadoo, had a nephew
and a first cousin killed in the action, and another chief
Hoosain, also lost a eon.

The enemy were busily employed during the afternoon
of the 26th in burying their dead, and on the day subse-
quent to the engagement the Shinwaree chiefs sent into
camp to express their willingness to pay the revenue.—

Camp, Mazeena, July 27, 1842.
Sir—l have the honour of addressing you to state for
the information of Major-General Pollock, C. 8., that in
accordance with the intention exprascd by me in my
letter of the 24th inst., I marehel out yesterday morning
at daylight to attack the enemy with the following troops
and guns :
Five 9-pounders, one 24-pounder howitzer, 50 Sappers
and Miners, one squadron Ist Light Cavalry, seven com-
panies her Majesty's 31st Regiment, seen companies
33d NJ., seven companies 53d N. 1., and Ferris's corps of
Jezailchees.

As the road into the enemy's country was nearly im-
practicable for loaded animals, and we must have lost a
great many camels had I attempted to move with our
baggage, I resolved on returning to my present position
after the operations I had in view had been concluded ;
therefore, having compressed the camp as much as pos-
sible by striking a portion of it, and collecting the tents
and baggage on one spot, I left it in charge of Major
Hewitt, 33d Regiment, with the following tro2ps:—
Two companies of her Majesty's 31st Regiment, ditto
33d Native Infantry, ditto 53d Native Infantry, two
squadrons of light cavalry, 50 Jezailehees, and 100 of
Torabaz Khan's men.

On the troops gaining the left ridge of the Shinwaree
Valley, which was the most practicable, the enemy re-
tired out of their forts, and I detached Lieutenant
Beecher, of the corps of Engineers, with the sappers and
miners, to set fire to them, which he did in succession up
to the tort of Secunder Khan, at the head of the valley,
the force moving parallel along the ridge for the protec-
tion of the party. Thus, at one time the interiors of 35
forts were in a blaze along the valley, the enemy con-
templating the scene from the heights in the vicinity of
Seconder Khan's fort, where they had taken positions,
and from whence they were driven in gallant style by the
advance, consisting of the Light and two battalion com-
panies of her Majesty's 31st regiment.
At this moment the guns, having bean brought into
position by Captain Abbott, opened a fire of shrapnel'
shells upon them, which did considerable execution, and
so disconcerted them, that parties left the field altogether
and never returned.

Having effected everything in the way of destruction,
I caused two companies of the 53d Regiment to be ex-
tended along a ridge below that from whence the ad-
vance had driven the enemy, and of which it remained
in possession. In rear of the companies of the 53d a com
pany cf the 33d was extended along the top of another
ridge, and in the rear of that company, on a higher
ridge, two guns were placed in pcsition, to aid in cover-
ing the retirement of the advance from the enemy, who
were all ready to attack them, as soon as they should
commence their descent from the heights. On these ar-
rangements being completed, the recal was sounded to
the advance, and I am happy to say, the whole joined
the main body, without a single casualty occurring.
Major Skinner's party being exceedingly fatigued, for
the heat had been excessive and the labour great, I di-
rec'.ed them to fall in with the main column, and ordered
out two companies from each of the three regiments to
cover our retrogression homewards. These were formed
into two parties, and extended across the ridge in two
lines of skirmishers. In rear of the second line I placed
two guns, with a company of her Majesty's 31st Regi-
ment flanking each of them, also a party of forty cavalry,
and a line of skirmishers was thrown out along the
whole right flank of the column to the edge of the ridge
(where the ground from its broken character was most
favouratle fur the enemy), and which communicated
with the rear line of the covering force placed under the
command of Lieutenant-Colonel Bolton, of her Majesty's
31st Regiment, at his own solicitation.
In this order we retired seven miles and a-half over as
bad a road as can well be supposed, and although I had
anticipated loss and great annoyance from the enemy
throughout the march, yet it seemed as if they had had
enough, as their attacks were languid anti remarkably
cautious throughout, and am rejoi:ed to say, that at
half-past three p.m. we arraed in camp without loss or
injury of any kind.
It gives me great pleaßre to record the zealous con-
duct of the troops generally, and the cheerful and praise-
worthy 111er.ncr in which the
soldiers of her Majesty's
st Regiment laboured to drag the guns up such places
as the horses, notwithstanding their unequalled qualities,
were incapable of doing.
Herewith I beg to enclose Major Skinner's report, and
I can myself bear ample testimony to the gallant cote;
duct of himself, and those under his commap,d, and I
should be unjust were I not to su ;hat the conduct of
captain li'arria, his native commandant, Hyder Ali, and
the whole corps of Jezailchees was highly distinguished.
My thanks are are very justly due to Lieutenant-Co-

lend Bolton, her Majesty's 31st Regiment, for the able
manner in which he conducted the duties of coveting the
retirement of the force, and particularly so to Major
Skinner, for the zealous and gallant manner in which ho
led the advance against the enemy ;—to Captain Ferris,
for the gallant manner in which, with his corps of jesail-
chees, he drove the enemy from their position on the
heights ;—to Captain Abbott and Lieutenant Dawes, for
the very successful practice of the guns ;—to Lieutenant
Beecher, for the zealous and satisfactory manner in which
he, pith the detachment of Sappers and Miners, con-
structed a road for the guns, and fired the enemy's forts.

31st Regiment, Major of Brigade ; Lieutenant Mayne,
Assistant-Quartermaster•General ; Captain Lloyd, Sub-
Assistant-Commissary-General ; and :Captain Robert-

them in the fiet.
I have also to express my thanks to Captain M‘Gregor,
Political Agent, who, when the opportunity offered itself,
served with the guns.

FROM MAJOR SKINNER TO BRIGADIER PrIONTEATIL, C•l3

Camp Mazeena, 27th July, 1842.
Sir—l hare the honour to report to you, that wife°
the advance guard, composed of the following details'
viz. :—the eight light companies of the brigade, with tw°
battalion companies of her Majesty's 31st Regiment, and
the corps of Jezailchees, reached the crest of the ridr,
over which the main column was moving about eia
o'clock A.M., I observed the enemy posted in small landle'
upon the different heights and ridges in my front, avbile
several parties occupied gardens and broken walls tit the
foot of the line of hills I was upon, above the valloY
the right hand.
A sharp fire was opened upon the line of skirmishers'
who quickly advanced and drove the enemy off.
corps of Jezailchees swept the front, the left hale wetly;
cleared by the light company of the 31st Foot ; and' 0,,t
light company of the 33d Native Infantry on the rig

advanced to Secunder Khan's Fort "Muriaz" over rell
broken and difficult country, with frequent descents 911 y
ascents, the enemy sometimes keeping up a good fire, lati
always abandoning the lines of heights as we ascended;
and falling back to others. I halted at Secunder
Fort, from which a few shots were fired as we advase'
when it was evacuated.

enemy was soon driven off the first part of the ridged°,
fell back to a higher peak, from which it became 3'1.51,
necessary to drive them ; this was done by the Jez3l;ii
chces under Captain Ferris in very good style, who he.,
it till withdrawn. At the head of the valley in which s'ilt
now were, stands a high hill with a fort upon its sinn°?4
a considerable distance off. All the ridges from %at' t
the enemy had been driven appear to draw to a point
this fort, and their retreat was always towards it. ~egl
Many men were collected there, and large
were sent out to my right ; this induced me to' draw' e•
companies of the 31st Foot on the left nearer to Till
The enemy soon appearing on the summit of :14D
shove my left, however, I sent or.e company of the3ll'o,
Regiment to drive him away and occupy the hill. al r
duty was remarkably well performed by Captain wan/

was employed upon it. The enemy retreated with sTo
loss, and took up another position under cover .0 0

enemy descended from a high line of sand hills, 'Leet
occupying these two forts, annoyed my position F,,'„a
deal. He was driven from them by the light coinPa°3tber
part of No. 6 of the 31st Regiment, who had tin °t
ground to advance on but the narrow ridges tha• der

tioned were tenable by the enemy, the

about half-past one P.M., Major Urmston retired in eoti

- received- from the captives in Caubul, ono of
l to the .sth of July, will be found below. All
lie leil
letters we have yet seen breathe one feeling of
i‘atitude towards Akbar Khan for his treatment of
• the prisoners, and it is but fair that he should have
ot'lfe full benefit of so honourable a proceeding. One
the communications contains the following p as-
sage
. „
4'
.first to last, most The Sirdar's treatment of us has been, from
kind ; no European Power coruld
11_,1,ve treated prisoners of war better ; there is a f eel-
' 1_'18" abroad that we have been ill-treated, but it is very
erroneous, and Akbar has enough to answer for with-
aa out this being added to his sins." We are very
• willing, as we have always been, to allow the full
Nh credit for the actual good treatment of the prisoners,tnd have never doubted the fact, but not so the nao-
•ii. s've• The prisoners are all allowed to walk in a
q.spacious garden, and bathe in the river or canal,
though attended by a guard, and the following is .the
bill of fare-10 ladies, 19 children, 15 officers,
tt" 11T
-I(f2 soldiers :—Two sheep, 72 seers atta, (this is. for
trY'lnts all), six seers ghee, three seers oil, six so ers
,a
'tee; six seers milk, firewood, and last, not least, tea
1;1.d sugar as required. The conduct of all the ladies
spoken of as beyond all praise, and such as to make
;44,.rery Englishman prouder still of his countrywort.en.
4dy Sale and Mrs. Sturt continue to afford ex-
• nanples of magnanimity and patient suffering to those
Of weaker mould.
• Since writing the above we have learned that all
:at on
le Prisoners are assembled in the Balla Hissar, and
the 12th instant the military secretary to
'•reneral Pollock gave public intimation that any one
to send letters could do so, as an opportunity
had occurred of forwarding them. Captain Law-
:l ranca had returned to Jellalabad, and is expected to
l'eraain there some time. We have also seen a letter
I,rom one of the prisoners, no doubt brought to camp
`- , ''Y Captain Troup. Although of so old a date :ts to
litrord little news, we cannot refuse doing the chiefs
11-= justice they deserve by giving the following ex-
tract. The letter is dated " Mountains near Temen,
20th May, 1842. We are all excessively kindly
treated by the chiefs, and are in a fine climate, where,
in the evening, I. am glad to put on a fur cloak.
. • T.roup left us at the commencement of this month for
/,
Caubul, where he now is with Mahomed Al bar
z-
' ""au• I believe all the folks at Caubul are at logger-
heads,.and had our army come up a month ago they
would have done so without a shot being fired. The
city is almost destroyed."
EXTRACT OF A LETTER.
• " Port of Ali Mahommed Khan, four miles from
-c4 • Caubul, July 5, 1842.
%a; " Our situation is the most tantalising• you can irna-
; we are completely in the dark as to the object ofour
• Gvernment, and as to whether our troops are coining
up
a • to Caubul or not. A short time ago they Would
have had nothing to do but to take possession of the
Whole country without a shot being fired, and even
now I am convinced they might come up without
e..ng an enemy. The whole people, and especially
• the inhabitants of Caubul, are in the greatest dread of
the
Punishment
the which they expect awaits them. If
Sirdar delays carrying us off until our troops
• 'r arch from Jellalabad, if they are. to march, I think
it Passible our rescue will be attempted by the Kuzzil-
ba,hes and others, but in such case what may be the
result ? Probably our release, and probably our
jnutder. If, however, the Sirdar should take it into
head to send us into Turkistan, which we hear is
..1s intention before our troops march, we may then
bid farewell to a release for an indefinite period. It
will be some consolation to our friends in India and
elsewhere to know that we have always been kindly
treated by the Sirdar ; but he has a set of scoundrels
shouti'r3ut him, and none greater than his father-in-law,
r‘-41Thrued Shah Khan (a Ghilzie chief), who, I re-
ret to say, is his principal adviser. The Sirdar i 3
,'"w all-powerful at Caubul. The other day he had
I';wenty followers, and not a pice of money. In this
Ile„tt °ln' party consists of those who were taken pri-
. iii-ers during the retreat, those who went over to

in here."—Delhi Gazette.

lIEROIC DEFENCE.
Although we have been pretty well-informed of all
that has becn passing in the western division of Aft.-
ghanistan, and been enabled to lay before our readers,
ztnd communicate to many of our contemporaries, the
earliest intelligence of events in that quarter, we have
but very lately learnt the real hardships which the
garrison of Khelat-i-Ghilzie have suffered during the
period of their investment by the Ghilzies. The
heroic valour with which they repulsed an overwhelm-
ing
enemy on the 21st of May is now known to all
