Chic!, chted tiva*Eptarters rt the Arne of the Deccan,
Cunt), at Pan Behar, Sreen Miles North of Ongein, 19th
Dec. 1811.

On the 17th instant, 1 had the satisfaction of
transmitting to. your Lordship the official report
►►f Brigadier-General Smith's recent operations
against the Peishwa. It is now with additional
pleasure that I have to lay before yonr Lotilship
rite detailed accounts of a n►ost hrdliant action at
N'tigpore, in which the British interests at that
capital have been gloriously maintained by the
undaunted courage and perseverance of a small
detachment of the 5 h division ►►f the army, head-
ed by Lieut.-Colonel LI. S. Scott (1), of the Ma-
dras Establishment.

The General Order pnblished to the army on
this most gratifying occasion., will slim to your
Lordship the sense I entertain of the admirable
conduct of the troops engaged. Whether, indeed,
I regard the vast superiority of the enemy's num-
bers and artillery, or the length of time during
which our brave soldiers long lit, until they re-
pulsed the army of Nagpore, I feel assured that
your Lordship will consider theaelion of the 26th
and 27th of November ala of being. rccnr,l-
- in the brightest page of our Indian annals, and
the gallant troops who achieved the exploit en-
titled to the warmest gratitude and admiration of
their Government.

It were endless, on such an occasion, to enu-
merate the names of those officers whose situa-
tions enabled them particularly to distinguish
themselves. The success which attended the
efforts of his soldiers speaks more in proof of the
intrepidity and conduct of their commander,
Lieut.-Colonel Scott, titan any expression of
praise, however unqualified, can convey ; 'and the
spirited exertions of Major Mackenzie, of the Ist
battalion 20th regiment of Madras native in-
fantry, have also been such as to deserve and .to
receive my best thanks and applause. I can,
however, neither deny myself the satifaction, nor.
Captain YOzperald the justice, of bringing to
your Lordship's particular notice the undaunted
and judicious charge made by three troops of the
6th regiment of Bengal cavalry, led on by that
officer, against an , immense body of the enemy's
horse, which were defeated, and their gnus turn-
ed against do tn, at a tnument the most critical to
the result of the day
Your Lordship will perceive by the returns (2)
of killed anti wounded that our loss has been se-•
vere ; and I have to lament the fate of several
brave Officers, who have fallen with honour in
the cause of their country.
I cannot, in this place, but state to your Lord-
ship my decided opinion, that there never has
been an instance in which not only the courage,
but the allegiance of the native troops have been
put to a severer test, and been displayed in a more
brilliant result, than on the present occasion. - It
required, indeed, do common exercise of both
qualities to enable these intrepid men to main-
tain their position, at a time when they saw their
wives 81d children exposed and suffering under
the same fire which was thi ning their own
ranks ; such a trial was greater than falls in ge-
to-ral to the lot of soldiers, awl it has been glo-
riously met and supported 4t Nagpore.
On a full consideration of this memorable en-
gagement, I feel that I should be doing less than
my duty were I refrain from expressing a hope
that the Ist biutalion of the 20th and 24;h regi-
ments of Madras Infantry may receive some signal
and lasting memorial of their gallant deeds from
the Government they have served so well ; the
claim of the detachment of Bengal cavalry to a
similar honour will not, 1 am confident, escape
your Lordship's at ten; ion.

Copy of a Report from Major-General Sir W. G. Keir, to the
Adjutant-General, dated Camp Dewdab, loth January,
1818.

Sia,-1 have the honour to acquaint, you, for
the information of his Excellency the Commander-
in-Chief, that on the 3,1 instant, the division un•
der my command was detached by his Excel-
lency Sir Thomas lop. for the purpose of at-
tacking a Pindarry Chief, who had encamped in
the neighbourhood of Johnd (3). On the sth inst.
I received information of the enemy having mov-
ed towards Btiort Soriree, a village about 30 miles
from Johtl, in a westerly direction, and imme-
diately turned off the road to that pace, in the
hope of overtaking the freebooters. Contradic-
tory reports-, however, prevented rn7 prosecuting
my route with any• effect till the 7th, when I re-
ceived intelligence that a large body of the enemy
were at Dhirah, a village eight miles south-east
of Sodree, with [belt baggage and families. I set
out from camp at eleven o'clock that night n.ith
the 17th Light Dragoons, six companies of the
47th Itegir»ent, and abort 800 of the Mysore
horse, but did not succeed in getting within sight
of MOM) till nine o'clock the next morning, on
account Witte badness of the roads, and the dis-
tance being greater titan I expectedi; to my great
disappointment, however, I round the enemy had
decamped on the preceding day, on hearing of the
approach of the Bombay division of the army,
and fled in Jim direction of t. )ollypoor, leaving their
gnus and a considerabh quantity of baggage to
follow them across the hills Five guns and rotne
baggage have Gillen into our hands,' and although
it is much to be rep ere(' that the rapidity of the
enemy's flight has saved hint from destructiou, it
is satisfactory to reflect that rhedoss he has SUS•
tined will materally Hare him io the eyes of his
followers, and tend considerably to the dissolution
of the only remaining body or his rothereots.
I have, &v.

Official 'reports have reached his Excellency froTh

(boat:do/icor of the 5111 division at Nagpore, of a
most brilliant and decisive act ion which took
plac'e at that capital, between the British troops
and the whole of those belonging to his Highness
the I?ajah of Berar, on flit. 28 ii and 27th nil .--
The deraehnient wider the Lieutenaet-Colonel's
command, previnos to the treacherous attack;
made upon it by a Chief with whom we were on
terms of friendiy alliance, did not exceed the total
amount of fhb teen hundred and fifty rank and file;
and with this snail and gallant band an:;
anion of
18 hours in coniiimance was maintained with a
degree of perseverance, determined courage, and
unconquerably bravery, which has never on any
'occasion been surpassed.. 'lt is a peculiarly gra-
tifying part of the Commander-in-Chiefs ditty to
offer his most grateful tribute of umpral.fied praise
and adtiiira:ion to Lieutenant-Colonel Scott, and
the Officers and men, of hisdetachment, for their
excellent conduct upon this memorable occasion ;
and his Excellency may with troth assert, that there
never has occurred an occasion where praise has
been better earned or more justly merited than
this. The gallant perseverance and devoted cou-
rage of the small brigade Of infantry, consisting.
of the Ist battalions of the 20th and 24th regi.
mews of Madras Native Infantry (weakened by a
large proportion of sick in hospital), place those
corps in the enviable possession of the applause of
their superiors, and the admiration of their bro-
ther soldiers. The pressure of the attack was sus-
tained by ,he t.e briltAl• awl 111
Excellency feels no common pi ide and satisfaction
in declaring his most unqualified praise of its gal-
lantry, elite' prize, and steadiness. The three
troops of the Gilt tegiment Bengal Native Cavalry,
under Captain Fitzgerald, reinforced by a small
detail of the Madras Body Guard, have established
a claim to the highest commendation. The judg-
meat and decision displayed by Captain Fitzgerald,
in seizing the happy moment of attack, %s ill ever
speak the highest eulogium on that Officer's pro-
fessional character and ability—and the gallantly
and perseverance of this small but formidable
body place its merits and services in the most dis-
tinguished rank ; nor is it too much to add, that
the arduous coolest, which had been supported for
18 hours by the persevering gallantry of the In-
fantry, was decided by t lie discipline and entermize
of this gallant detachment, led on by Capt. Fitzge-
rald. The conduct of the small detachments of Ma-
dras artillery and pioneers bas been eminently con,
spicuons, and has added another instance of
courage and discipline to the well established re-
putation of the corps to which they belong. The
important result of this action streaks fori.inly the
praises of every individual officer and soldier en-
gaged, and the Commander-in-Chief feels that all
have an equal claim to his. grateful approbation ;
but the leonine of war frequently presents oppor-
tunities particularly claiming distinction; acid his
Excellency feels it an imperative duty to record
the names of the following Officers, who, with
the most honourable zeal, have been so !intimate
as to benefit by the favourable occasions which
presented themselves during the arduous struggle.
Major M'Kenzie, commanding Ist battalion 20th
lt,giment Madras Native Infantry; Capt. Lloyd,
Bengal Establishment, commanding Resident's
escort; Captain Fitzgerald, commanding detach-
ment 6th regiment Bengal Cavalry ; Captain
Chat les w orth, commanding Ist battalion 24th
regiment Madras Native Infantry ; Lieutenant
Jenkins, Bengal Establishment, commanding
Nagpore Battalion (5) ; Lieutenant Maxwell,

commanding detachment Madras Artillery; and
Comet Smith, 6th regiment Bengal Cavalt y. '1 he
pleasing duty Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas
Hislop has had to perform, of publishing his sen-
timents of approbation and thanks to his gallant
detachment, equally imposes upon him the indan-
choly duty of paying a just tribute to the memory
of those who have gloriously fallen on this me-
morable occasion. The severe loss in killed and

wounded io asubject of deep regret, but it wiq be

a Considerable Consolation to the relations aria
friends of those britve men who have fallen to re-

member that they have died in the most devoted
and honourable struggle for the interests of • their
country, and the glory, of her arms, and that their
memory will be handed down to posterity with
honour and grateful respect.
The following are the names of the Officers who-
have fallen :
Captain Sadler, commanding Ist battalion 24th Regiment
Madras Native Infantry ; Lieutenant and Adjutant Grant,
Ist battalion 24th Regiment Madras Native Infantry; Lieut.
Clarke, Ist battalion 20th Reginodit Madras Native Infantry;
Assistant Surgeon Nivin, unattached.

The sufferings of the families of the Native corps daring
the action were unavoidably great, and many, it is feared,
have perished from their exposed situation, and the invete-
rate cruelty of the enemy. The Cnninaader-in-Chief deeply
deplores this melancholy event, and assures the Native Army
that the widows and orphans left destitute shall have Ids lin-
►nediate attention and consideration, and that he will recom.

mend them in the strongest teen, to the generous protection
of Government, which is ever watchful to reward merit, and
relieve the wants and distresses of its faithful soldiers.

Lieutenaut.Colonel Scott will be pleased immediately to
form a Committee of experienced Officers to ascertain the
persons who have a claim to pensions, and will lose no time
in transmitting the proceedings to the Adjutant-General of
the Army.

a hurried communication yesterday ; I now beg
leave to detail to you the particulars of the atlair
with the body of troops under Suddoo Baba (6).,
In consequence of the instructions which I had
received from
,Lient,Colonel Adams, and which
were subsequently confirmed by you, I moved
with my detachment for the purpose of dispersing
!lie force pt)sted at Srecnuggur, but having ob-
tained intelligence at Guiramarrah (7), that
Mutuldow Row 11.,(1 moved to the Ilurdpoor Pas,

A. M. I t,oind the enemy posted on the heights
N E .nf the town, to oppose my advance, their
Jett .flaetk restint; on it, and supported by_ two
guns and three In the furry. An immediate
tiis-
posit,On for attack was made ; 1 advanced in. two
coluntns of infantry, guns in the centre, and ca-
valry on the left. Immediately on the columns
advancing, a sharp cannonade was opened from
their two guns oa the heights, and the enentyt,s
cavalry sheaving themselves in front and on the
right of their position. I directed the cavalry to
move on at a btisk pace, and endeavour to turn
their flank anti cut off their retreat ; this was ably
pertortned by Chambers, who immediately,
charged, and completely routed and pursued them
with great slaughter. The light column of in-
fantry was directed to storm the guns in the gutty
and town. The artillery ofAhe brigade opened
a very well-,dbected fire on their Eton!, which.
having Silenced their guns, the left column moved
on to attack them in trout. The desertion of the
cavalry had, however, communicated a panic to
their infantry, who, on the advance of the t
columns under Ma ors Richards and:Bowen, fled
in all directions? abandoning the whole of their
guns and much baggage, which 'has fallen htto
our hands. The loss of the enemy has been se-
vere ; it may be estimated at froni 300 to 400
killed and wounded ; two Sirdars,
Veer I<lcmt~-

I regret to say our loss exceeds what I yesterday
reported, but the returns from corps and detach-

_
bruary, 1818.
Six,—My last Report to you was dated the 7th ultimo from,
Seroor, when I was preparing to follow up the enemy to the
southward, or to support Brigadier-General Pritsler's
inn that duty. The .I!eishwa's army continued in that
direction across the Kistnah, and was followed by Brigadier-
General I'ritzler. On the 21st ult. I heard of his having re-
crossed that river, and of his arrival at Utny (10, on which
I accordingly marched rapidly: his Highness then imme-
diately returned, as if to draw me coi the same side of
the river, and he then kept a westerly direction towards Kur-
rar (12), and thence to northward by this place till he de-
scended the Salpee•Ghaut (13) on the 30th ult. when I bad
gained upon him considerably. During my marches, which
were madeto the very utmost exertions of my light division, I
was considerably harassed by the enemy's cavalry, which ap-
peared more numerous than usual. The enemy constantly
refused front even to our smallest parties of infantry, but he
often pressed the rear-guard, which occasioned a few casual-
ties
in •slight wounds from' distant rnatehlocks; a return of
which is transmitted herewith. Having had your instructions
to form a junction near this place with Brigadier-General
Pritzler's division, fur the purpose of interchanging troops
for pursbit and siege services, I solicited your permission to
reduce Sahara_ while- this.operation • was arcomplishing. I
accordingly reconnoitred it on the 9th instant, and marched
upon it the fallowing day, when, after stlmnioning it, and de-
siring Lietitenanteolonel Dalrymple, the senior Artillery Of-
ficer of the too divisions, to throw a few light shells into it
until regular batteries could he taken np, the Killedar agreed
to.surrender the fort on his being permitted to march away
with hiS garrison unmolested, and can yipg away their arms..
The garrison consisted only of about 400 !,ebundy truops,who
seemed so little disposed to use their arms on this occasion,
that it was,innnatcrial what became of them hereafter, while
tune was' very valuable to one ; I therefore allowed them
these terms, and hating taken possession of the fort, the Ra-
jah's flag was established there yesterday :loon, agreeably to
your instructions, and his palace and property have been pre-
served for him. _

. About 45 pieces of ordnance of different calibres, with a
few swivels, gingals, and rockets, were taken in the fort, cor-
rect returns of which will be forwarded hereafter.

Sattara is strong, and as the ancient seat of the Mahratta
empire, carries great consequence with it in the estimation
and prejudices of the natives, and may therefore prove of
greater value to us.in the war against the Peishwa, than in
its mere local importance.
I have the honour to be, &c.

the Honourable Mountstnart Elphinstone, the Res:dent
at the. Court-,of the Peishwa, dated Camp, Kurkumb, Yttt
February, 1818.

Ste,--My letter to your address, under date of the 12th
inst. went to acquaint you with the operations of the troops
under my command up to that period. The enemy, after
tracing been pursued through the range of (;Hants, on which
Sattara is situated, marched by Pauderpoor to Solapoor, (15),
on the Seena, where he remained during the time I was oc-
cupied at Sattara, and for some days longer. I proceeded.
gradually upon Punderpoor on the 13th instant, with the light,
intending to avoid forced marches till I approached
the enemy within 25 or 3d suites.. Yellapoor, the day be-
fctre yestil*day, 1 had been informed of his quitting Solapoor,
and of his tuo7ing in a westerly direction, which determined
me to make night March, in liopes of coming upon him
• •

near runderpoor. On the route, linakereri trergivretinfor-
minion of his having turned tipOn lcurltunth (t 6), to which I
immediately changed a v route, alsol crossed the Bheenta,
at Karnuld"(l7), near Goorsul!a, and i now heard that the
`Ptishwa had eneatircied the preCedint4. evening near Aslita,
and I immediate 1y pushed on with all tht-caval‘y, horse artil-
lery, and gailopt Nly intelligence
.was confirmed, and my
hopes consaleral,ty raised Manditpuor (18), when I heard
t enemy WiAS only then preparing to move from Ashta, and
at ahout half-punt eight o'clock yesterday morning, we had
the satislation of distinctly hearing their nagai as beating be-
low a hill %%iiieh covered us fruit, their view. _

It seems, however, they tied sortie information of our ap-
proach, but not in sufficient time to enable them to avoid its
without losing their baggage; in these cirtartistanees, GAla
kiols• the resolution of risking- an action. As we deseetided the
hill, seesaw one body rather near us, is mass, to the number
of between two and three. tiorhsand, and the number of
streamers impl itil the presence uf Si rdars. .Th e ground
was so rocky and uneven, I hardly • expected to be able to
bring any guns into action, but directed them to keep on the
nearest road, re:NV to turn as required. The two sluath•ons
of his Majesty's /id Dragootas formed the centre column, and
were directed to attack the enemy's centre, the 7th Light Ca-
valry were in column oil the right, and the 2 i Light Cavalry
was the left culinitu. We elesce:tded the hilt in this order
_upon the enemy, who sood very firmond after forming squa-
drons I ordered the whole to charge ; the enemy not only
contitmed hum, but advanced to meet. each charge with great
spirit ; he had, however, availed himself of a nulla, and very
difliCult .ground •to receive our attack, and while the light
squadron of the 7th 9avalt y was engaging twider this disad
vantage, some of the enciuy got conlid their right flank and
rear, and at first created it little contusion ; as they passed the
resar :old left of the 7th'Cavally, Major Dawes, of the 522i1
Dragoons, with admirable presence of mind, threw back a
troop of that regiment, which immediately charged and broke,
them, and they were afterwards met and suffered za•so by a
troop of the 2d7 Light Cavalry, which Major Walker had also
prepared for them.
Captain Pierce, of the Horse Artillery, had, indeed, with
his usual exertion and zeal, and notwithstanding the rely nu-
favourable rtatme of the ground, contrived to get one gun in
position to protect the right Hank of the 7th Cavalry, and
had the enemy in my power in a solid mass within half range
of grape ; but as this would have impeded the charge, and
obliged hint to dispense without a trial with our cavalry,which
he. now seeked willing to give, and which all our corps so
much wished for, I kept the gun in reserve.
The charge of the two stoadrons of the 22d Dragoons pe-
netrated through the mass, and did great execution. •Bapoo
Gokla, the Chief of the Mahiatta army, fell ratty, and fight-
ing bravely to the last. This event, I have little Aught, has-
tened the flight of this body, which afterwards endeavoui ed to
form in a still larger one, that was covered iH low ground be-
yond the village of.Ashta, and out of our view from thi first
scene of action.. These were also immediately charged by the
2.2 d Dragoons as they name up, and the whole being routed and
pursued, sod brought our-troops upon the enemy's baggage
and followers.

I have infinite satisfaction in reporting, that the Sattaia
Rajah, his brothers and mother, were in these circum-
stances rescued and brought safe iotoour camp, to tlicir great
satisfaction and joy. I calculate the loss of the enemy at
between two and three hundred men, and besides pokla, ano-
ther Sirdar of distinction,„ said to he Naito° Punt isptey, was
killed.

The Peishwa abandoned his palanquin early, and took to
horse, and I regret exceedingly his person could not have been
secured ; •but the troops had marched nearly 30 miles before
this affair commenced, and the pursuit and return. (nearly 16
wiles more), exhausted the horses. Twelve el4tiants, 57 ca-
mels, several palanquins and afraubgurs, and a few horses, fell
into our hands.

I inclose a copy of the Orders which convey my sentiments
on the conduct °Utile troops, and also a Zia of the killed and
wounded; and I cannot close a dispatch wLlch may claim
some interest, without bestowing the praise justly due to
the Staff.

I have been greatly and cheerfully assisted in all my duties
by Capt. 'Covey, the Deputy Adjutant-General, and .by Capt.
Mayne, the Deputy Quarter-Master-Geneial, Officers well
experienced in their departments, and of valuable profes-
sional acquirements. 'You are already aware that. although
I had taken the precaution of forming a considerable grain
depot, from the general aspect of affairs with the Peishwa's
Government, his sudden treachery prevented my obtaining
timely carriage for it with the army. The good arrangement,
foresight, and assiduity of Major Hall, the Deputy Commis-
sary-General, greatly overcame this and other difficulties, and
I owe it to that Officer to state my sense of his abilities had
services in that important department. The Paymaster of
the Forces, Captain :fames ; the Commissary of Stores, Capt.
Griffiths, of the Bombay Artillery ; and the Medical Branch,
under Mr. Superintending Surgeon Phillips, are entitled also
to my earnest praise, in always keeping their-departments in
perfect arrangement and efficiency. The Officers of my per-
sonal Staff, Captain flardeastle, Lieutenants Place and
liellamore, have been most active and zealous in their du-,
ties, and deserve the public expression of my grateful ac-
knowledgments.
I have not been able to trace the course of the Peishwa's
flight, or can I follow bias till I have disposed of the Rajah's
family in Poonah ; and as he has made earnest intreaties for
an early interview with you, I beg you, if possible, to meet
use on my route there, that I may the sooner proceed again in
quest of the enemy.
I have the (langur to be, &c. • .

Camp at Karkumb, 21st Feb. 181 a.

Brigadier-General Smith begs to express his entire satisfac-.
thin with the conduct of the whole of the troops engaged in
the affair with Gulches horse yesterday, and which led to such
important results as the death of that Chief,' together with
the rescue of the Rajah of Sattara and family from the hands
of the enemy.
The-Brigadier-General particularly noticed the gallant ex-
ertions of Major Dawes and the two squadrons of his Majes-
ty's 22d Dragoons, also Majors Doveton and Walker, with
the 7th and ed of Madras light infantry, under the direction
of Licntenant-Col.'ucl Colehrooke, who,is requested to ac-
cept Brigadier-General Smith's thanks, and to convey to the
whole of the cavalry brigade, and to Captain Frith, in charge
of the gallopers, the high sense which he entertains of their
important services; although Captain Pierce and the horse
artillery were unavoidably kept in reserve upon this occa-
sion, the Brigadier-General takes the opportunity of express-
ing the obligations he is under to this corps, and his admira.
tion of their exemplary conduct throughout the pkesent
service. • • •

The operations of yesterday were necessarily confined to
the cavalry, but the zeal and good conduct evinced by the
whole of the troops, during a period of three months of in-
cessant marching, have been eminently conspicuous; and the
Brigadier-General regrets that it was impossible 'upon the
present occasion to afford the►u all an opportunity of meeting
tine enemy. H. TOVEY,- D. A. Gen.

beidpoor (19), 22d January, 1818.

- - -
MY Loau,—l have extraordinary satisfaction in transmit-
ting, for the information of your Lordship, the official details
of one of the most heroic actions (20), which has ever been
fought and gained by an handful of men over a large army.
The accompanying transcript of Brigadier-General Smith s
dispatch, and of the General Order which I yesterday publish-
ed to the army on this brilliant occasion, will place your
Lordship in full possession of the particulars of the battle in
whin the 2d battalion of the Ist regiment of Bombay native
infantry, aided by a small patty of Madras artillery-uvnywith
two 6-pounder: and about 300 auxiliary horse,' have nobly
sustaiced during a whole dly, and finally repulsed the un-
ceasing and vigoeous efforts Of the Peishwa's army, under
circumstaoces of peculiar difficulty and privation, which ren-
der the exploit altogether.unparafieled.
I need nut again, in this place, recapitulate the names of

-the Officers who have aided- the intrepid Captain Staunton,
it) gaining the victory of Coregaum ; their individual merits
are brought to your Lordship's notice in the accompanying
documeuts, and they will he certain to receive from their
Government and their Country that admiration of, and gra-
titude for, their devoted gallantry, to which they are so high-
ly entitled. .
I most sincerely congratulate your Lordship on an event
%which has, if possible, heightened the renown. of the Indian
army, and from which I cannot but anticipate results of the
'lightest political importance, since such a defeat must inevi-
tably tend to paralyze the future exertions of the enemy, and
prove to him the-hopelessness of continuing a war, with any
success, against a power which has such troops to oppose to
him. I have the honour to be, Ike.

GENERAL. ORDER, by the Commander-in-Chief.
Head-quarters of the Army of the Deccan, Camp, Nu-
enti kuiree, at the Jon Gant, 18th Jan. 1816.
The Commander-in-Chief has much satisfaction in an-
nouncing to the army the receipt, on the 15th instant, of a
duplicate of dispatches front Brigadier-General Doveton,
commanding the 2d division of the army of, the Deccan, con-
taining the official details of that Officer's operations on the
16th ultimo, against-the troops of the Rajah of Berar, in the
vicinity of the city of Nagpore.
The original copy of this gratifying communication never
having reached head-quarters, the Commander-in-Chief has
been hitherto prevented from publishing to the army the sen-
timents- of his applause' and appronat ion, which it wbuld have
been his Excellency's duty, no less than his inclination, im-
mediately to have conveyed to .Brigadien-General Doveton,
and the gallant troops under his command. •
The Brigadier-General reached Nagpore, with the division
under his orders, on the lath nit , after a rapid and fatiguing
march, and formed a junction with the detachment of ti►e
sth.division already there ; having refreshed his troops during
the 14th and 15th, he prepared to attack the enemy on the
morning of the 16th, which was accordingly done, and the
manner in which this important service has been achieved
reflects the highest credit upon the judgment and professional
talents of the gallavit Officer who commanded, as well as upon
ti►e discipline and determined valour of the excellent troops
who so nobly carried into erect the able and well-judged
plans of.their General.-
The Commander-in-Chief .eordially concurs in the expres-
sions of approbation conveyed in the Brigadier-General's Dis-
patch, of the distinguished conduct of Lientenant-Colonels
Mac Leod, Scott, Gahan, Mackellar, and Crosdill, command-
ing brigades; of Major Mont and Captain Webster, com-
manding corps of cavalry; and of Lieutenant-Colonels Stew-
art and Fraser, and Majors Pereira, Pollock, ..Mac Donal!,
Weldon, Macbean, and Garner, commanding corps of artil-
lery and infantry ; as well as to Lieutenants Poggenpohl and
Hunter, of the horse artillery; and to these Officers his
Excellency desires to offer his thanks and praise for their able
and gallant exertions, as described by Brigadier-General
Doveton.

To Major Mac Lend, and the Officers of the General Staff,
to Captains Norglin and Edmonds, on the personal Staff of
the Brigadier-General, and to the other Staff Officers, the
Commander-in-Chief's acknowledgmentssare most justly due
for their able Conduct and zealous exertions, in the action on
thu 16th December.

His Excellency desires particularly to express the high
sense he entertains of the eunspicuous exertions,. aura well-
directed ability which have been so eminently displayed in
the conduct of Lieutenant Davies, senior Engineer, to whom
he oilers his best thanks and applause.

His Excellency also notices with feelings of the highest ad-
miration the conduct of-Lieutenant Bayley, who, although
labouring under .a severe wound received o❑ the memorable
2Gth November, volunteered his services with the Brigadier-
General on the IGth ult. and has again proved his well-earned•
title to the warmest acknowledgments and praise. of the Com-
mander-in-Chief.

The Commander-in-Chief has also received dispatches from
General I)oveton, detailing his operations subsequent to the
tt3th ult. the successful termination of which on the 30th ult.
by the capitulation of the city of Nagpore, his Excellency has
already had the gratification of announcing to the army in
General Orders of the stli instant (24).

The city, it. appears, was defended by 5,000 Hindostanee
troops, and 3,000 Arabs, strongly posted in the palace of the
Rajah, and other stone buildings in the town ;—the arrange-
ments made by Brigadier-Ghteral Dovcton for their expul-
sion, and the gallantry, steadiness, and discipline (Attie t Temps
in the attack of the 24th ult. are entitled to the Commander.-
In-Chief's grateful-acknowledgments; and he desires that the
expression of his unqualified praise and approbation of the
conduct of the troops employed throughout the operations
against Nagpore, may be communicated aud'particUlarly'ex-
plained to them all.

His Excellency, in conclusion, offers to Brigadier-GcnerHl
Doveton his cordial congratulations upon the success which
has crowned his gallant exertions at Nagpore,which the Cow-
l:wander-in-Chief will not ail to bring to.t.lic notice of his Ex,
