Camp, at Rygluir. Apra 1S18•
Sta.-1 had before reported toy inttution to pn,l, forward
Nlabar with all possible expedition, and 1 reached it on
the 1411, instant, withont experiencing any uhstacles of itn-
portanee, except near the town ; the road then became rug 7
d and dirricult for the tattering train, and I was in cause-
* -queeice obliged to halt a day to give it time to pass the river;
prior to this I'had received information that the enemy were
using every precaution in their power -to resist our ap-
proaehes to the fort, and there was a probability that the
Peishwah's family would resolve -to quit it, here being two
elephants, several camels, and horses kept in readiness fur
that potpose.
I therefore conic to the determination to endeavour to cut
off the cuemx'S retreat from the fort, and accordingly ordt red
two hundred Europeans, an equal number. of natives, and
. fifty auxiliary hov=e, with a proportion of iriemeers, to march
the morning of the :Nth, with a discretionary_ power to
* Major Hall, of his Majesty's 89th Regiment, to act to the best
-of his indzment for the advantage of the service.
I have the pleasure to say that the patty reached the ene-
r-n's stockade and carried it lust at-day-break, and were not
discovered by then, till within three hundred yards, when the
enemy fired a few shots and retired in.haste to the pettalt.—
Major Nall however lost no time in fallowing them up, ad-
vanced double quielt, and found the enemy drawn up on a
rising ground, when they fired, anti our party gave them a
warn, fire in return, which -brought down several. On this
hey fled into the advanced works, leaving on the ground 20
killed and several wounded, when oar party returned and
established themselves in the pettah, thus entirely precluding
the enemy's escape in that quarter.
In the mean time Lieutenant Powell, my Brigade Quarter-
Master. having obtained information that the elephants and
camels had gone off early in the morning, pursued them with
is few of the auxiliary horse, and had the good fortune to cap-
tare and .bring the whole, being two elephants, 13 camels.
and a 1111311 her of mares and tattoos, into camp.
The. gallantry of'Major Hall, Officers, and men composing
his detach went, cannot trio strongly represent. to his Excel-
lency' the Commander-Ur:Chief. 1 incluse Major Hall's re-
port. I have, &c.

Copy of a Report from Major Hall to Lieutenant-Colonel
Prother, dated Camp, near Ilyghur, 24th April, Ms.
St n,—Agreeahly to your instructions I marched on Ityghur
last night, and arrived at the enemy's first ,stoekade, on the
road leading up to the fort, at day-Break. This they aban-
doned on our approach. Shortly after our advance fell in
with their main body, in the vicinity of the pettab, about
three hundred strong, part of them mounted.
They immediately opened a sharp fire, on which I advanced
the column, in' double quick time, and after a consideiable
fire of musquetry drove them into the fort.
• We had three men of the 89th regiment wounded, and the
enemy about twenty men killed. _ . _

The object of my advance being thus effected, I fell back
to my present position, first leaving one hundred men of the
89th and fifty sepoys in the pettah, under the command of St.
Lever; and. I beg you will inform me if it it your wish that we
should retain possession of it. It is quite sheltered from the
fire of the fort.

v...'ilte;;;;ld..ie;(ling to the fort is very steep and rough, and
in its present state quite impassable for guns. I bare been
obliged to return thus far owing to the scarcity of water.
I have, &c. •

Stn,-1. have the honour to acquaint you, for the informa-
tion of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that I am
now. in possession of the fort of Aujenwell, and expect very
sheet ly tol have under my command all the forts in the Anjen-
well district.

I made preparations on the 11th instant to proceed against
the , forts of ARienwell. and Gownlkbote-(a), when, on .the
morning of the Isth, I received a communicatio❑ from Mr.
Pelly, the Resident at Fort Victoria, that the'Anjenwell ;dis-
trict wonld he surrendered to the British authority ; Accord-
ingly. I put into immediate execution the arrangements I had
made. Lieutenant Adamson, with a detachment of two hun-
dred and fifty men,. crossed the river at Dabool, this day, at
three o'clock, at the same time that I myself, with two Iran-
tired more men, landed to the southward of the fort from the
Honourable Company's et uizers and some pattamars.
It was my intention, in case any opposition should be of-
fered, to make a battery of two twelve-pounders to be pro-
cured frbm the ships, but such a measure was not necessary,
the fort having been abandoned on the first appearance of the
detachment.

I ,proceed.to-morrow morning to Gown Mote, and thence
to the forts of llyrainglitir and VujeeNhur, and will give you
the earliest information. Some'grain, and I believe a num-
ber of articles of value, of the Peishwah's equipage,have been
found in the fort, of which a report shall be forwarded to-
morrow. I have, &c.

the alacrity and promptness with which Major M'Leo'l acted

forts of Shunurie, the Glary of Jooneer, and the fort of
Hursur, and have now the pleasnie to report, for the infor-
mation of General Smith, the reduction of the two strung
hill forts of Chawund and Joudeen. On the Ist instant the
brigade encamped before Chawund, which is about three
miles and a halt or four miles from liursur, and the Killadar
having refused to give it up without an order from his master,
I immediately ordered down' some mortars and howitzers,
which opened on the fort at six P. Si. The bambardment
continued all night, and until six o'clock next morning,when
the garrison surrendered unconditionally—about one hundred
and fifty shells were thrown. There were upwards of one
hundred men in the fort, whom I di armed a,,d sent off with
orders to go to their villages, being all Mahrattas. Yester-
day the brigade marched tc.intideen, which is situated in the
grand iange of ghauts, and commands an extensive view of
the ,Concan, and close tit the Nance Chants. The Killadar,
who bad yeti, summoned two days before, declined giving np
the fort, and gave out 'hat he would fight eight days. Ott the
approach of our advanced party with Captain Nutt, the En-
gioeer, to reconnoitre, they were fired on frequently from
the Funs and matchlocks. lam happy to say, without sus-
taintrig any loss. A spot was soon fixed upon for the mortars,
and also a battery for two brass twelve-pounders, till the
eighteen pounders could be got ready to play on the masonry
about the gate. The mortars opened at about twelve o'clock,
and after firing an hour, having thrown- about twenty shells,
a man was sent down to say that they would open their gate,
which was immediately taken possession of by a party of the
Bombay &wow.:ui regimient, then on duty in the battery.•,--
Tlie garrison, after being .disarmed, I dismissed.
I am now on my hack by Joorwer to Hureychnnding-
hurt which is almost the only fort reolainiug in the enemy's
possession in this part of the country.

Since my letter of the .4th, I bare the pleasure t-i report
that the torts of liurrychundinghur and Hooojilghur have
betwtaken possession of by a detachment of the batta-
lion, under Captain Sykes. At Chawund I learned that a
short. road layover the hills to these forts, and in• hopes that
they would surrender to a party, and prevent the' ti ouble of
taking the guns round, I sent off the above detachment,
which completely succeeded. The brigade is now encamped
about six miles north of Jouner. Major M:Leud with his
detachment is still on the lOoli out fur any bodies of horse
that may make their appearance in this part of the country.

OPERA HOUSE.
wATRHS V. TAYLOR.

Mr. Soucrrott-GENISIIAG applied to the Will-
gence of the Court for an enlargement of the order
of the 2d July, that Mr. Waters should, on the
15th of August, pay into Court the-sum of 8,545/.
to the Bth of January next : 6,0001. of this sum
were inetunbtances on the them re, having been
paid by Mr. Waters to performers. Besides, the
4nm of money already in the Court was amply suf-
ficient for all claims.

Mr.. HART followed, and said that the present
application' arose from the Vice• Chancellor not
having allowed to Mr. Wafers what was due to
him. Mr. Gould had been employed to provide
performers. He harl.engaged the Hayeses. Mr.
Gould died, but the Hayeses were adopted by Mr.
Taylor, and employed. Mr. Taylor, however, re-
fused, to pay, them, and Mr. Waters was under the
necessity of paying, as Mr. Gould's executor.—
The Master sas of opinion that this was an in-
cumbrance ; but the Vice• Chancellor was of a dif-
ferent opinion.
Mr. BARKER, on the same side, said that there
would be no apprehension of want of funds,' while
the sum 0f'63,0001. was in Court.
Mr. HEALD opposed the application, and in-
sisted that there
.was no•change of -circumstances
stated t hick could make it proper to enlarge an
order which ought to have been obeyed on the 15th
of August. They were now in contempt,•and he.
could have an attachment against them.

LORD CHANCELLOR.—A petition has been pre-
sented to me, praying that Mr. Taylor may huve
money out of Court ; of the accounts in that peti-
tion 1 cannot understand one item'; they are quite
beyond my coMprehension. Let, that and this be
heard on Monday morning.
Mr. MILLS offered some explanations._ _ _

LOUD CHANCELLOR.-1 speak upon this subject
with great humility, because the application of the
principles of equity to on Opera•house exceeds my
power. This case must, however, be in some
way disposed of.
