FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE
EXTRAORDINARY.
(Concluded from our Edition of. yesterday.)
INDIA BOARD, Nov. 23.

Dispatches, of which the following are copies, have
been this day received at the East India House, from the
Governor-General of India :

• Simla, October 5, -1 842.
Hon. Sirs,—The dispatches from Major-Generals Pol-
lock and Nott, which accompany this letter, will inform
you that, on the 30th of August, Major-General Nott
defeated Shumshooden Khan, about thirty-eight miles
from G huznee ; and on the sth again, on the heightS, on the
,north-east of G haznee ; against which place batteries were
preptired, on the night of the sth, but the enemy evacu-
ated the town and citadel during. that and they
'were taken possession of by Major-General Notes troops
at day-light on the 6th. .
The work of demolidgn was carried on during the
7th and Bth ; and, on the 9th, Major-General Notes
army left Ghuznee, leaving the gates and principal build-
ings on fire, and having- totally destroyed the citadel,
and made breuches in the walls, which, without imme-
diate repair, must fall during the winter.
On the Bth of September, Major-General Pollock de-
feated the Ghilzees and Jezailchees of Mahotned Akbar;
ar.d, on the 13th, the Major-General entirely defeated Ma-
homed Akbar, at the head of 16,000 men, at Tezeen.
On the 16th, Caubul and the Bale iliFsar were occu-
pied by the British troops.
On the 17th, the army of Major-General Nott arrived
within five miles of Caubul.

Such of the prisoners, taken by the Affghans on the
retreat from Caubul, as were near Caubul, came into the
British camp on the 15th ;, 700 Kuzzilbashes, with. Sir
Richmond Shakespear, left Caubul for the Bameean-road,
on which the remaining prisoners had been carried ; and
it was expected on the 17th that, on the following day,
they might be delivered up to Sir Richmond Shakespear.
The feelings with which I have regarded these suc-
cessful operations will be seen on, a perusal of the gene-
ral orders prefixed to the dispatches published on the
21st and 30th ultimo.

It appears by a letter (private) from Major Outram,
of the 20th ultimo, that, on the preceding day, Colonel
Reid, with the first column of Major-General England's
army, arrived safely at Dadur. The second column will
have left Quettah on the 21st, and the last Was to move
about the Ist of this month.—l have, &c.

Head Quarters, Simla, 21st Sept. 1842.

The Governor-General has this day received the re-
ports of three victories obtained, on the 30th of August,
over 12,000 Affghans, 38 miles south-west of Ghuznee ;
on the Bth of September, by Major General Pollock,
over the troops of Mahomed Akbar Khan and Ghilzie
Chiefs at Jugdulluck ; and on the 16th of June, by the
expedition on tho coast of China, within the mouth of
the river Yarig-tse-Kiang at the city of Worsung.
In this last operation, and those immediately preced-
ing it, Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, and Lieutenant-
General Sir Hugh Gough took 364 guns front the Chi-
nese.

On the 3d of Sopt. Major-General Nott had advanced
:o Nance, a short march off Ghuznee.

On the 9th of September Major-General Pollock had
advanced to Kutta Sung, and had experienced no op-
position. _ _

Formed as the troops under Major-General Nett have
mostly been by four years of constant service, and habi-
tuated as they have been to victory under their able
commander, the Governor-General had anticipated their
success against any force which could be brought against
them. It is to the Governor-General a subject of sincere
satisfaction, that the events of the campaign should have
opened a more extensive field to that brave army on
wliich it may make manifest to the world the high quali-
ties he has long known it to possess.
Major-General PolloCk has, through the prudence of
his arrangEments, and the correctness of the movements
directed by him, bad the gratification of affording to his
troops the opportunity of proving their superiority to the
Atlghans on the very scene of the late disaster on the
retreat from Caubul ; and Major-General Sir H. Sale,
at the head of the garrison of Jellalabad, Worthily sup-
ported by the reinforcements from India, has had the
glory of leading the army on its triumphant return to the
capital of Affganistan.
The Governor-General regards, with the highest ad-
miration, the noble ardour which has, in these several
operations, been manifested, equally by the officers and
soldiers of both nations, and of all arms. He sees, in
the successes already obtained, the certain promise of
other more decisive victories, calculated to impress upon
all the enemies of the British Government, a conviction
of the futility of resistance to the force under his direc-

tion, and tending, under the continued favour of Provi-
dence, to effect the first object of his desire, the resto-
ration of peace to Asia.
By order of the Right Hon. the Governor-General of
India. (Signed) T. H. MADDOCK,
Secretary to the Government of India,
with the Governor-General.

FROM MAJOR-GENERAL POLLOCK. C. 8., COMMANDING IN

Camp Kutta Sung, Sept. 9, 1842.
Sir,—l have the honour to forward, for the informa-
tion of the Right lion. the Governor-General, the copy
of a letter which I have this day addressed to the Ad-
jutant-General of the Army, detailing the operations
against the enemy near Jugdulluck, yesterday.

P.S. —I have this moment received two letters from
Major-General Nott to your address, which I have read,
thinking they might contain information which would
regulate my movements,

FROM MAJOR. GENERAL G. POLLOCK, C. 8., COMMANDING
THE TROOPS IN AFFGELANISTAN, TO MAJOR-GENERAL
I. TINLEY, ADJUTANT-GENERAL OF THE ARMY.
Camp ICutta Sung, 9th Sept., 1842.
Sir, —4 have the honour to report, for the information
of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that I left
Soorkab on the morning of the Bth inst., in progress to
Jugdulluck, with the following troops :-
Ist Division, under the command of Major-General Sir
R. Sale, G.C.8.--2 guns 3(1 Troop Ist Brigade 11. A.;
6 ditto No. 6 Light Field Battery ; 3 ditto Mountain
Train; her Majesty's 3d Light Dragoons; 1 squadron
Ist Light Cavalry; 3 Resullahs 3d Irregular Cavalry;
her Majesty's 9th Foot; her Majesty's 13th Light in-
fantry ; 26th Regiment Native Infantry ; 35th Regi-
ment Light Infantry ; sth Company of Sappors ;
Broadfoot's Sappers ; Mackeson's Bildars.
On approaching the • hills which command the road
through the pass 1 perceived their summits were occu-
pied by a considerable number of men, and a nearer
view enabled me to ascertain the nature of their posi-
tion, which was one of singular strength and difficult of
approach. The enemy were assembled in bodies appa-
rently under different chieftains, each having a distin-
guishing standard.
The hills they occupied formed an amphitheatre in-
clining* towards the left of the road on which the troops
ere halted while the guns opened, and the enemy were
thus enabled on this point-tolire. into the column, a deep
ravine preventing any contact with them. The practice .
of the guns was excellent, yet the enemy_ appeared so
determined on making a stand that the bursting of the
shells among them on the right hill, which was of a
conical shape :n(1 difficult ascent, had not the effect of
making them .elinquish it., or of slackening their fire,
n hich now became heavy from all parts of their position,
causing several casualties.
It is with the deepest feeling of regret I have to de-
plore the loss of Capt. Nugent, Officiating Sub-assistant
Commissary-General, who was shot here and died almost
immediately. I had lately reeeiied the most important
and valuable assistance from him ; the service has lost a
promising officer, and the department to which he be-
longed a most efficient member.
As the guns appeared to have little effect in forcing the
enemy to quit the heights, I resolved upon attacking
them ; for this purpose Captain Broadfoot was detached
to the extreme left of the enemy's position, and his sap-
pers commenced ascending a steep hill, on the top of
which the enemy were entrenched in a sungah, her
Majesty's 9th foot, under Lieut.-Colonel Taylor, were
directed to cross a deep ravine and assault the hills on
the opposite side, where the enemy held a ruined fort,
and were with their chiefs and cavalry in considerable
numbers. Her Majesty's 13th Light Infantry, led by
Captain Wilkinson, commanding the regiment, attacked
the hill which may be considered the key of the
position. The 9th, accompanied by two companies
of the 35th Native Infantry, under Liutenants Boileau
and Trench ; the 13th by 130 men of the 26th, led by
Captain Gahan (Major Haish, who, although present in
the field, was prevented by his wound received at Mamoo
Khail, from assuming the command) rushed up the
heights simultaneously, and the animated and enthusias-
tic cheer they gave; seemed to strike a panic into the
enemy, for they dared not wait the collision, but fled
down the hills, and were enabled to escape chastisement
by the nature of the ground, which was so well calculated
to favour their retreat. At this moment, Major Lock-
wood, with her Majesty's 3d Light Dragoons, galloped
up, and very nearly succeeded in overtaking the enemy's
cavalry, but I am very sorry to say they also effected
their safety by flight.
Captain Broadtoot had completely succeeded in the
attack he made, and the enemy were dispersed in every
direction, a large body of them retiring to the summit of
a high mountain. On this apparently inaccessible
height they posted their standards, and showed every
demonstration of maintaining it. As the achievements
of the day would have been incomplete were they suffered
to remain, I decided upon dislodging them.
The troops named in the margin* advanced under cover
of • Captain Abbott's guns, and those of Captain Back-
house's mountain train. Seldom have soldiers had a

more arduous task to perform, li and never was an pier-
taking of the kind surpassed in execution : these lofty
heights were assaulted in two columns, led by Captains
Wilkinson and Broadfoot ; the discomfited Ghilzies, not
relishing an encounter, betook themselves to flight,
carrying away their standards, and leaving our troops
in quiet possession of their last and least assailable
stronghold.
• It gratifies me to be enabled to state, that we have
thus signally defeated, with one division of the troops,
the most powerful tribes and the most inveterate of our
enemies, the original instigators and principal actors in
those disturbances which entailed such disasters on our
troops last winter. The following are the chiefs who
were present in the action :
lfzeez Khan, Gool Mnhomed Khan, and Suadat Meen
Khan—Jubber Kheil Ghilzies.

Khodah Busksh Khan, Azul Khan, and Khojoh Ma-
homed Shah Khan—Chiefs of Tezeen, Babukkur Kheil
Ghilzies.

Sirdar Khyroolah Khan, Batukzie, Shah Ghazee Khan,
Gool Ghilzie, Hajie Ali 'Nick, Ibi abim Khan, and
Diullick Suddoo—sent by Mahommed Akbar Khan from
Caubul, to co-operate with the Ghilzies.
Ibrahim Khan and Mullick Suddoo—Lugman chiefs.
The petty chiefs of Hissaruck were also engaged, and
indeed the whole strength of the Ghilzie force may be
considered to have been brought against us, numbering
on this occasion from four to five thousand men.

Let me now express how much I owe to the brave
officers and soldiers who have thus gallantly asserted
their superiority in arms ; were I to name all who merit
eulogy. I should feel obliged to enumerate every officer
who was present.
I feel considerable diffidence in mentioning the name
of Alnjor-General Sir It. Sale, G.C.B.,Whose heroic con-
duct in the field stands so little in need of my commen-
dation. On this occasion I was an eye-witness to the
personal intrepidity of this highly distinguished officer,
as he led up the heights in advance of his own regiment
under a very hot fire.

To the officers in command of regiments, and detach-
ments, and to the heads of departments, also to the offi-
cers of my personal and the general staff, I feel especially
indebted for the zealous and efficient manner in which
they performed their respective duties ; and I trust his
Excellency the Commander-in-Chief will bring to the
notice of his Lordship the Governor-General, that every
individual engaged has exerted himself to the utmost to
serve his country.
I hare the honour to enclose a rough sketch of the
scene of operations, and a return of killed and wounded.

result as follows, for th• information of Major-General
Nott.

I proceeded at a trot for about a mile and a half, when
we were closing well with the enemy, all of a sudden we
came on a ravine with steep sides, which for a time corn-
pallleot
down and form again on the opposite.side. This delay

move a long way a-head ; but,
getting the detachment into a smart gallop, we succeeded
in coming up with them just as the foremost of them
:vied thebr o ilgh t
had reached the bottom of the hills. We cut up about
50 of them. Lieut. Chamberlain's party from the other
flank destroyed 12 more. The enemy, I should think,
amounted to about 300 horse and foot. Every man did
his duty, so it is impossible to offer any remark on indi-
viduals, and I shall only add that I was quite satisfied
with the conduct of all. I beg to return a list of the

1 moved out with one half of my force, the enemy ad-
vanced in the most bold and gallant manner, each cheer-
ing as they came into position, their left being upon a
hill of tome elevation, their centre and right upon a low
ridge until their flank rested upon a fort filled with men;
they opened a fire of small arms, supported by two six-
pounder horse artillery guns, which were admirably
served ; our columns advanced upon the different points
with great regularity and steadiness, and, after a short
and spirited contest, completely defeated the enemy,
capturing theirguns, tents, ammunition, &c., &c., and dis •
persing them in every direction. One" hour's more
daylight would have enabled me to destroy, the whole of
their infantry.
Skumshoodeen fled in the direction of Ghuznee, ac-
companied by about thirty horsemen,
I inclose a list of killed and wounded on the 28th and
30th inst., also a return of ordnance, ammunition, &c.,
taken from the enemy.
The behaviour of the troops, both European and native
was such as I anticipated, and afforded me complete sa-
tisfaction.
I beg leave to bring to the favourable notice of the
Right Honourable the Governor-General of India, the
undermentioned officers ; many of them have served
under my command for the last three years, and have
been conspicuous for their zeal and gallantry in the
various affairs which have occurred with the enemy
during that period, and especially in the action of the
12th of January last, and have invariably upheld the re-
putation of our arms and the honour of our country :
Brigadier Wymer, commanding the Ist Infantry bri-
gade ; Lieutenant-Colonel M‘Laren, cotumanding 16th

appreciate this excellent officer's merit, he has been with
me in four actions, I trust I shall not be thought pre-
sumptuous in expressing a hope that he will receive
some mark of the favour of Government, by brevet or
otherwise.
I cannot close this dispatch without expressing my
admiration of the dashing and gallant conduct, rapid
movement, and correct practice of Captain Anderson's
troop of Bengal Horse Artillery, nothing could exceed
it, and I beg leave to bring this officer and Lieutenant

GENELL ORDERS.

Simla, Sept. SO, 1842.

The.Governor-General announces to.the Army and to
the people of India the occupation of Ghuznee by Major-
General Nott, on the 6th September, and its entire de-
struction by the Candahar division of the army.

Major General Nott had the satisfaction of releasing
in the neighbourhood of Ghuznee, 327 Sepoys of the 27th
Bengal Native Infantry; from the slavery to which they
had been reduced by the Affghans.
The Governor-General likewise announces the com-
plete defeat of Mahomed Akbar Khan at the head of
16,000 men, at Tezeen, on the 13th of September, by
Major-General Pollock, and the occupation or Caubul by
the troops under that General on the 16th September.
The British flag waves in triumph from the highest
point of the Balla Hisser.
Thus have all past disasters been retrieved and avenged
on every scene on which they were sustained, and re-
peated victories in the fiel€l,.and the capture of the cities
and citadels of Ghuznee and Caubul, have advanced the
glory and established the accustomed superiority of the
British arms.
The Governor-General has derived much satisfaction.
from the report made by General Pollock, of the ad-
mirable conduct of the troops of 11. H. the Maharajah
Shere Sing, acting in co-operation with the British army.
The Gtivernor-General rejoices in this new proof of the
cordial good understanding which prevails between the
British Government and that of Lahore.

The report of Major-General Pollock leads the Go-
vernor-General to expect that long before this day all
the• British prisoners taken by the Affghans will hare
been brought into the General's camp ; those who had
been left near Caubul.were already at liberty.
The Governor-General, in the name of the Government
and of all the people of India, offers to Major-Gen. Pol-
lock and Major-Gen. Nott, and all the officers and troops
under their respective commands, his grateful and heart-
felt acknowledgments of the important services they
hare performed.

The Governor-General directs that the recent suc-
cesses obtained by the armies in Affghanistan be fully
made known to all the troops, at all the stations of the
army, and that at all those stations a salute of 21 guns
be fired for the captor? of Ghuznee, and a similar salute
for the capture of Cauhul.
By order of the Right Hon. the Govr.-Genl. of India.

FROM MAJOR-GENERAL W. NOTT, COMMANDING FIELD
FORCE, AFFGHANISTAN, TO T. H. MADDOCK, ESQ.,
SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, WITH
THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL.
llead-quarters, Camp, Ghuznee, Sept. 8.
Sir,—My dispatch of the 31st ult. will have informed
you of my havingdefeated the Affghan army commanded
by Shumshoodeen.
On the morning of the sth inst. I moved on. Ghuznee..
I found the city full of men, and a range of mountains
running north-east of the fortress covered by heavy
bodies of cavalry and infantry ; the gardens and ravines
near the town were also occupied. The enemy had re-
ceived a considerable reinforcement from Caubul, under
Sultan Jan.
I directed Major Sanders, of the Bengal Engineers, to
reconnoitre the works, under escort of the 16th Regi-
ment of Native Infantry and a party of irregular cavalry.
This brought on some smart skirmishing, in which our
Sepoys behaved to admiration. Captain White, of her
Majesty's 40th Regiment, commanding the light com-
panies of the army, was pushed forward, accompanied by
Anderson's troop of hone artillery, to support the recon-
noitring party, and I at once determined on carrying the
enemy's mountain positions before encamping my force.
The troops ascended the heights in gallant style, driving
the enemy before them until every point was gained.
The village of Bullal is situated about 600 yards from
the walls of Ghuznee, upon the spur of the mountains to
the north-east, and observing it to be a desirable spot for
preparing a heavy battery to be placed 300 paces in ad-
vance, I ordered it to be occupied by two regiments of
infantry and some light gnus, and retired the columns
into camp.
The engineer officers, Sappers and Miners, and in-
fantry working parties, were employed under the direc-
tions of Major Sanders, during the night of the sth, in
erecting a battery for four 18-pounders ; these guns were
moved ftom camp before day-tight in the morning of the
6th, but before they had reached the position assigned to
them, it was ascertained that the enemy had evacuated the
fortress.
I directed the city of Ghuznee, with its citadel and the
whole of its works, to be destroyed. I forward the En-
gineer's Report.
In these operations our loss has been much less than
might have been expected from the numbers and position
of the enemy, and the fact of filo troops having been ne-
cessitated to move under range of the guns of the fortress.
inclose a list of killed and wounded.
The exertions of Major Sanders, of the Engineers,
were as usual, most zealous, and my thanks are due to
him and the department under his charge.
I beg to notice the following officers :—Brigadier
Wymer, Major Hibbert, commanding her Majesty's 40th
Regiment ; Captain Evans, in temporary charge of the
16th Regiment of Native Infantry ; Captain White, her
Majesty's 40th Regiment, commanding the light com-
panies of the force ; and Major Sotheby and officers of
the artillery.
I have every reason to be satisfied with my staff,
Captain Polwhele, Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General ;
Captain Waterfield, Aide-de-Camp ; Captain Ripley,
, and Lieutenant Kay, Deputy Judge Advocate-General.
I continue to receive the greatest assistance from
Major Leech. I have, &c..
W. NOTT, Major-General,
Commanding Field force, Affghanistan.

P.S. I have recovered about 327 of the. Sepoys of the
27th Regiment Bengal Native Infantry, who had been
sold into slavery and dispersed in villages 30 and 40
miles round Ghuznee. W. NOTT.

MEMORANDUM

Camp Rozeh, near Ghuznee, Sept. 9.
On the morning of the sth of September General Nett
moved his camp to take up a position before Ghuznee.
An advanced party was ordered to protect a reconnais-
ance of the works undertaken by the engineer depart-
ment. On the approach of this party to the hills north
of the cite, it was opposed in force, but was immediately
supported by the General, and thus reinforced cleared
the hills °Me (mime, and took possession of the village,
of Bullal, within 400 yards of the city.
The General immediately directed this important point,
with the heights near. the village, t be maintained, and
they were occupied by two regiments of Native Infantry
and two nine-pounder guns.
While these operations were going on the camp was
established at Rozch, two miles and a half from the.eity.
The guards required for the protection and general duties
of the camp absorbed so many men, that but few were
available for the duties of a siege. The General there-
fore determined not to invest the place in form, and di-
rected the engineer to concentrate the forces at his dis-
posal in one spot, where protection might be most conve-
niently afibrded to the siege operations.
With advertence to these instructions, the engineer
proposed to establish a battery on the ridge of the hill
north of the town, in advance of the village of Bullal,
and distant about 350 yards from the nearest point of alb
walls. From this battery it was expected that the four
18•-pounder guns Would lay open the thin flank-wall con-
fleeting the citadel ou the west with the town wall in a
few hours. The defences of the citadel could be swept
from the same point by the Light Artillery, and the lines
of loopholed wall which would bear on the advance of the
storming party were all viewed in enfilade from the site
selected for the battery. The advance of the party to the
assault would have been greatly facilitated by the exist-
ence of a thick dam cf earth.scross the ditch immediately
opposite the point marked out ibr the breach.
It was further proposed that the principal assault
should be supported by two other attacks ; one an
attempt to blow in the water-gate (both the others hav-
ing been strongly built up, and the causeways in front of
them cut through), another to escalade a weak point
near the Caubul gate, which would have been- greatly
aided by the fire of the artillery from the bill.
This project met the General's approval, and at dusk
on the evening of the sth of September a working party,
composed of the Sappers and 160 men from the regi-
ments occupying the hill, commenced work on the bat-
tery. By 4 A.M. on the 6th of September cover for the
party had been secured across the ridge of the hill, and
so much progress made in the execution of the work as
to lead to reasonable expectations that the four 18-
pounder guns and two 24-pounder howitzers would be
established in position, and ready to open their fire
during the day.
Early on the evening of the sth a brisk matchlock fire
was kept up from the citadel on the hill, but this gra-
dually slackened, and at 10 P.M. had entirely ceased.
The enemy's infantry had been observed at dusk crossing
the river near the water-gate, with the intention, it was
supposed, of attacking the working party during the
night ; but towards the morning of the 6th there were

giOuniis fur believing the fort was evacuated. At day-
light this was ascertained to be the case by Lieut. North,
of the Engineers, who took possession, at that hour, of
the water-gate without opposition, leaving Ensign New-
ton and twenty sepoys of the 16th Native Infantry, in
charge of the gateway, and returning to the battery for
further assistance. The whole of the working party was
immediately moved into the town, of which and of the
citadel of Ghuznee they were in possession before sun-
rise. EDWARD SANDERS, Major, Engineers.

FROM MAJOR E. SANDERS, ENGINEERS, TO MAJOR-GENE-

RAL W. NOTT.

Camp.Rozeh, near Ghuznee, Sept. 9.
Sir,—On the occupation of the fortress of Ghuznee by
the troops under your command, I received orders from
you to take measures for the destruction of the citadel,
to as great an extent as the means at command and the
time afforded by a halt of two days would permit.
2. I have now the honour to report, that the engineer
department attached to your force has been employed
during the 7th and 3th instant on the work of demoli-
tion, and to state the progress effected.
3. Fourteen mines have been sprung in the walls of
the citadel, all with good effect. The upper fort has
been completely destroyed ; the second line of works ex-
tensively breached in two places ; and the outer and
lower walls have their revetments blown down and greatly
injured in three places.
4. In several spots remote from the mines, the walls,
though they have not fallen, are so seriously shaken by
the explosions that unless immediate and energetic mea-
sures are adopted, on the departure of your force, fur
their repair and security, they must crumble down during
the ensuing winter.
5. The gateways of the town and citadel and the roofs
of the principal buildings have been fired and are still
burning. I have, &e..
E. SANDERS, Major, Engineers.

my despatch, of date the 14th instant, to the address of

FROM MAJOR-GENERAL G. POLLOCK, C. 8., TO MAJOR-
GENERAL J. R. LUMLEY, ADJUTANT-GENERAL OF THE
ARMY.

Camp, Bootkhak, Sept., 14.
Sir—l have the honour to report, for the information
of his Excellency the Commander in Chief, that I
marched from Seh Baba on the 11th instant, and arrived
at Tezeen the same day, where I was joined by Major-
General M'Caskill, with the 2d division. On the 12th
I halted, in consequence of the cattle of the 2d division
.
having suffered from the effects of fatigue, caused by
their forced march ; this halt the enemy imagined to be
the result of hesitation, and in the afternoon attacked the
pickets on the left flank, and became so daring that I
considered it necessary to send Lieutenant-Colonel
Taylor, with 250 men of her Majesty's 9th Foot, to
drive them back ; some sharp fighting took place, and
the enemy were driven up the neighbouring hills,
from the crests of which they kept up a heavy fire.
Lieut.-Colonel Taylor, however, with a small party
crept tip one end,of the hill unperceived by the enemy,
who were hotly en gaged in their front, and lay concealed
u. until joined by
the
more of his men, when, rurling up
on the flank of the astounded Affghans he inflicted a
severe lesson, poitring in a destructive fire upon them an
they fled down the hill. A chieftain was found among
the slain, who it is supposed was the brother of Khoo-
dabux Khan. The enemy remained inoffensive on our
left flank, in consequence of this very well planned and
gallant affair of Lieut.-Colonel Taylor's, and
withdrew
to the right,
where they commenced a furious attack

upon a picket consisting of 80 men of the 60tli. Regiment
.Nativalnfantry, _commanded by .
.110 utgomery,
who sustained the assault with great resolution' Until re-
inforcements reached him, when the enemy were beaten
off ; in this attack the picket had 4 killed, Lie► itenant
Montgomery and 17 men wounded ; the enemy ca.' e so
close that frequent recourse was had to the bayo net.
Their attempts on the pickets continued thoughout the
.night, but were invariably unsuccessful.
The valley of Tezeen, where we were encamped, is
completely encircled by lofty hills, •and 6n the mornion
of the 13th it was perceived that the Affghans had
occupied in great force every height not already crowned
by our troops. I commenced my march towards the,
mouth of the Tezeen pass, where I left two guns, two.
squadrons of her Majesty's 3d Dragoons, a, party of the
Ist Light Cavalry and 3d irregular Cavalry. The
enemy's 'horse appeared in the valley, with the intention..
of falli►►g upon the baggage, but it gives me very great
pleasure to state, that the Dragoons and native cavalry
(regular and irregular) made a most brilliant; charge,
and with such' effect, that the whole body of the enemy's
force was completely routed, and a number of them
cu t.. up.

The pass of Tezeen affords great advantages to an
enemy occupying the heights, and on the present. occa-
sion sllahoined Akbar neglected nothing to render its
it. Our
lensoitesm

and the AffghansS
rd•ti ocotpdst
contrary to their general custom, advanced to meet them
•
and a desperate struggle ensued ; indeed, their defence
was so obstinate, that the British bayonet in many in-
stances alone decided the contest. The light company
of her Majesty's 9th Foot, led be Captain Lushington,
who I regret to say was wounded in the head, ascending
the hills on the left of the pass under a heavy cross-fire,
charged and overthrew their opponents, leaving several
horses and their riders, supposes, to be chiefs, dead on the
bill; the slaughter was consideraisle, and the fight con-
tinued during the greater part of Ow day, the enemy,
appearing resolved that we should not ascend the Huft
Rotul s one spirit seemed to pervade all, 2170 a determi-
nation to conquer overcame the obstinate resistance
of the enemy, who were at length forced Worn their
nemerous and strong positions, and our troops m punted
the Huft Kotul, giving three cheers when they re: •ched
the summit. Here Lieut. Cunningham, with a part vof
Sappers, pressed the enemy so hard that they left in
their precipitation a 24-pounder howitzer and limber,
carrying off the draught bullocks. Having heard that
another gun had been seen, and concluding that it coati
not have goncevery far, I detached a squadron of Dra-
goons under Captain Tritton, and two Horse Artillery
guns under Major Delafosse, in pursuit. Tile gun (a
12-pounder howitzer) with bullocks sufficient for the
two guns was soon captured. The Dragoons again got
v among the enemy, and succeeded in cutting up tnan of
them. Captain Broadfoot with the Sappers advanced,.
and with the Dragoons happened to fall in with another
party of the enemy, of whom upwards of twenty were'
killed. I have ascertained there were about 16,000 men
in the field opposed to me, a considerable portion of
is horn was cavalry, Mahomed Alibar Khan, Mahomed
Shah Khan, Ameen Oollah, and many other chiefs
with their followers were present, all of whom I have
reason to believe have taken to flight. We have gained
a complete victory, and our enemies have sufferd se-
verely, having several hundreds killed, losing their guns
and three•standards, one of which was taken from the
enemy's horse by the Ist Light Cavalry. Although
many attetnpts were made at the baggage, none were
successful, chiefly owing to the judicious and admirable
arrangements of Lieutenant-Colonel Richmond, com-
manding the rear-guard, and for which he deserves the
greatest credit.
The Lahore contingent, under the able direction of
Captain Lawrence, has invariably given the most cheer-
ful assistance, dragging the guns, occupying the heights,
and covering the rear-guard. While ascending Huft
Kotul and at Tezeen their long jezails told effectively in
keeping the ground.
Major Skinner, her Majesty's 31st Foot, bad been de-
tached with a strong party on the night of the 12th, for
the purpose of dislodging a body of the enemy on the
heights in front of the camp ; this duty was performed
with great gallantry the next morning, and his operations
contributed much to frustrate the attempts of the enemy
on our right flank. As the Major's movements were for
some time separate from those of the main column, I
deem it expedient to annex his report.
The enemy being completely dispersed, we pursued
our march and encamped at Khoord Caubnl without fur-
ther opposition. The troops on this,' as on all former
occasions where they have been engaged with the enemy,.
showed the most determined valour, and I feel that I
cannot too highly praise their conduct • each regiment
seemed to vie with the others in their endeavours to dis-
lodge the enemy, which they most effectually accent
'plished. I,have received from Major-General M'Caskill,
K.H., who on this occasion commanded the main column,
every assistance, and from Major-General Sir R. Sale,
G.C.8., commandingC the advance guard, the most zealous
co-operation. The 1011 owing officers have also given me
every reason to be satisfied with their exertions :—Bri-
