TO THE A.DJUTANT•GENERAL OF TRI ARMY, BOMBAY.
Sir,—With reference to my letter of yesterday's date I
now do myself the houour to forward the several reports as
noted below, of the operations before the forts of Punalla and
Powanghur.
The breaching battery having opened on the morning of
the Ist within 350 yards of the walls of Punalla, which in
two hours began to progress rapidly, I was convinced that a
practicable breach would be effected in sufficient time to
carry the place by storm with sufficient daylight to enable
precautionary measures to be taken to prevent the escape of
the insurgents during the night. I therefore ordered the
storming party to be held in readiness under Lieutenant-
Colonel Brough, who had urgently solicited to command it
(200 of his own men composing the assaulting column),
which I readily assented to ; about four P.M. the breach was
reported practicable, when I immediately ordered the ad-
vance from the breaching battery ; they were covered by the
geld pieces and mortars most judiciously arranged to keep
down the fire of the enemy, which was most efficiently car-
ried into execution by Lieutenant-Colonel Lloyd, command-
ing the artillery.
The difficulty of reaching the walls was very great, from
the rugged and steep ascent, which led to a ledge or path by
which they- were obliged to proceed, flanked by a very y heav -
fire front the walls, and large stones hurled down upon them
as they advanced, which they did in a most gallant manner
to the breach. Among the first and foremost I noticed
Lieutenant-Colonel Brough, Lieutenant Graham, and the
gallant Lieutenant-Colonel Outram, C.B. (Major Peat, C. 8.,
when at the head of the storming party, being temporarily
disabled by a stone), Lieutenant Dlardall and some riflemen,
who I had observed had got close under the walls from the
gateway side, after which I could riot discriminate indivi-
duals. About half the storming party had entered the
breach, when the reserve advanced under Lieutenant-Colonel
Wallace, who, seeing the difficulty of the ascent and time
taken by the storming party, inclined to the right by a much
easier route up a read which led to the gateway, whence the
breach was reached.
In about an hour the place was entirely in our possession,
and every precautionary measure taken to prevent the escape
of any of the insurgents during the night ; hut no correct in-
formation could be obtained regarding Babajee Ahirakur, the
leader of the rebels; the following morning the bodies of
Babajee Ahirakur and A ppa Manga, the former the chief and
the latter one of the principal leaders of the rebel Seebundies,
were found among the slain. Upwards of 2,000 prisoners
have been taken ; two of the most important are Babajee
Saloonker and Luximon Naik Jaddow, also the Killadars
(Havildars) of Punalla and Powanghur.
The difficulty of closely investing these two forts has been
very great, from the magnitude and extent of the place; but
many obstacles were overcome by the storm and taking of
the north petta by the 3d brigade, under the late much-to-
be-lamented Lieutenant-Colonel Hicks, who was killed on
that occasion; Lieutenant-Colonel Poole, C. 8., her Majesty's
22d Regiment; and subsequently Lieutenant-Colonel Har-
vey, her Majesty's 14th Dragoons, who succeeded to the
command of the 3d brigade: the vigilance of that brigade
throughout the siege contributed greatly to our success.
I beg now to bring to the favourable notice of his Excel-
lency the Commander -in-Chief Lieutenant-Colonel Lloyd,
C. 8., commanding the Artillery, who conducted that branch
of the service with great zeal and ability; who was most
ably and zealously assisted by his staff officer Captain Glasse ;
scattered as the artillery necessarily were between camp
and the several positions, his duties were difficult, but per-
formed in a manner highly creditable to that officer ; Major
Peat, C. 8., commanding the Engineers, whose zeal and inde-
fatigable exertions, scientific skill, and judgment are beyond
-all praise ; ably assisted by Lieutenants Graham and hlun-
bee, of the Engineers, and Lieutenant Aitchison, of the 2d
European Light Infantry, acting assistant in that depart-
ment ; Brigadier Brough, of her Majesty's 2d Queen's, com-
manding 2d Brigade, who led the storming party in a most
gallant manner ; Brigadier Wallace, of the 20th Regiment
Madras Native Infantry, who commanded the reserve, and
closely followed the storming party ; and Liet!tenant-
Colonel Outram, C. 8., who on all and every occasion ten-
dered his services, and from whom I received valuable infor-
mation and suggestions, which I acted on with every con-
fidence.

I followed the track of the storming party and entered
the breach with the reserve, accompanied by the Assistant-
Adjutant-General, Captain Donnelly, the Assistant-Quarter-
master• General, Captain Adams, Captain Threshie, of the
Commissariat Department, and my Aide-de-Camp, Lieute-
nant Delamotte, whose aid and assistance gave me great
satisfaction throughout in restoring order and checking ex-
cesses, which were less than could be possibly expected on
such an occasion.

Where all have nobly performed their duty with a zeal
and gallantry not to be surpassed, and with cordiality and
good feeling, a proof of discipline and devotion to the service,
I must refer his Excellency to the several reports herewith
forwarded, wherein individuals are particularly named for
his Excellency's consideration.
I beg to conclude with a short account of our progress
from Budderghur. From the base of the hill we marched
on the 20th of November, a distance of 47 miles 6 furlongs to
our fireQotit p,,,itioo. At daylight on the Ist of December
the guns were in position at 350 yards, and at 4 o'clock r.m.
the place was carried by assault,--a place regarding which,
in an extract from a confidential letter from Lieutenant-Co-
lonel Welsh, in 1827, to Lieutenant-Colonel Hardy, the Quar-
termaster-General of the Bombay army, who was well ac-
quainted with the fort of Punalla, the former states, " With
my present knowledge,
however, ot the only defects, I would
undertake to capture it in two or three mouths by ex-
cessive, but certain labour ; itis a Gibraltar on the Neil-
gherries."
The important capture of these fortresses will be duly ap-
preciated, I have no doubt, by his Excellency and the Go-
vernment, and will, I trust, be a sufficient proof that every
exertion was made, and the siege carried on in a most vigo-
rous and judicious manner.
I have the honour to forward the return of killed and
wounded, which, considering the extent of the operations
carried on, it is gratifying to state are few in number, con-
sidering the strength of the garrison and resistance made.
Returns of the ordnance and ordnance stores captured in both
forts are also herewith forwarded.—l have the honour
to be, &c., P. DELAMOTTE, Major-General.

Punalla Fort, Dec. 2, 1844.
Sir,--In compliance with the desire of the Major-General

storming party which he did me the honour to place under
my command last evening performed their duty with the
utmost gallantry and devotion, but of this the Major-General
was himself a near observer.
It would be an injustice to the gallant few I had an oppor-
tunity of particularly noticing, if I did not bear testimony to
their conduct by notifying their names to the Major-General.

TO THE ASSISTANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL, SOUTHERN DIVI-
SION OF THE ARMY.
Camp of the 3d Brigade of the Field Force,
Northern-side Fortress of Punalla, Dec. 1, 1844.
Sir,—l have the honour to state to you, for the informa-
tion of Major-General Delamotte, C. 8., that having at half-
past two, P.3f., received your intimation that the storming of
the fortress of Punalla might probably take place soon after
three o'clock, I immediately carried into effect the arrange-
ment I had previously made, namely, that Lieut.-Colonel
Poole, C. 8., commanding her Majesty's 22d Regiment, and
second in command of the 3d brigade, should march upon the
post at the north-western end of the petta or village, for
some days past occupied by Major Conway, C.B. of her
Majesty's 22d Regiment, with a strong detachment of 300
men. Lieutenant-Colonel Poole was requested to bring with
him, without loss of time, the whole of the available reserve
force of the brigade, consisting of about 200 men of his own
regiment, and of less than half that number of the 2d, or
Grenadier Regiment of Bombay Native Infantry, under Capt.
Hogg, in charge of the head-quarters of that
This force, united with the 200 of her Majesty's 22d, and
the 100 grenadiers already in the petta, under Major Con-
way, I knew was fully sufficient to meet any force which the
enemy could oppose directly to us in the position we should
take up, if he chose to issue in force from the north-eastern
gate, and it was my intention thus to prevent the egress of
any body of the enemy by thus opposing to him the whole
mass of Major Conway's party, closely supported by the re-
serve, and to have met him face to face in the road leading
from the gateway. It was necessary in the meantime to
keep this advanced party well under cover from the inces-
sant firing of matchlocks, wall pieces, and large guns, to
which they had uninterruptedly been subjected for five days
and nights whenever they showed themselves, and not only
from the north-eastern face of Punalla Ghur, but of heavy
guns on the north-western face of the adjoining fortress of
Powanghur. Having, arranged with Lieutenant-Colonel
Poole, G. 8., to march immediately, I at once preceded the
reserve, and took personal direction of Major Conway's ad-
vanced party, with whom I arrived about three o'clock, rad.
I took with me also a small detachment of her Majesty's
14th Light Dragoons, and Brevet Captain Chambre, who
was placed at my disposal by Captain Shaw. At Major
Conway's post there were two 6-pounder guns under Lieute-'
nant Crawford, Bombay Artillery, very judiciously placed,
and which had occasionally thrown spherical case shot with
excellent effect over the enemy's parapets. These two guns
I directed at once to be brought into a forward position
which I had reconnoitred in the morning with Major Con-
way, and to be loaded with grape ; my wishes were most
ably and instantly seconded and attended to by Lieutenant
Crawford.
These preliminaries were scarcely completed, and the re-
serve were scarcely over the first range of hills, and were
eagerly ascending the second, being separated now but a
short interval from the advance, when a cheer and a thril-
ling shout from the parapets of Punalla announced to us that
the breach had been stormed.
We immediately rushed forward in the direction of the
gateway ; a few fugitives escaped down the hill by the ravine
on our front and left, but no mass of the enemy came down
from the gateway; and our own troops were distinctly seen
in possession of Punalla. I, therefore, allowed the men no
time for firing, but pushed them on as rapidly as possible
round the ravine in the direction of Powanghur; and I am
happy to be able to add briefly, that we succeeded in captur-
ing that fortress. In advancing along the petta, or village,
and round the head of the ravine by points much exposed to
fire, I was surprised that we were not opposed by any guns
from Powanghur ; and I concluded the enemy were evacuat-
ing the place. I, therefore, hurried on the men as much
as I could, and was vigorously seconded by Major Con-
way, Captain Chambre, and Lieutenant Brennan, who
cheered on the leading sub-division of her Majesty's 22d.
The officers and men of the Bombay 2d Grenadiers,
under Captain Hogg, were climbing up the steep side of
Powanghur, as well as the nature of the ground would per-
mit, in the hope of effecting en entrance over the lower part
of the scarp by the neck of land connecting the two forts,
or of surprising the gateway on the north-west side, situated
at a considerable elevation. This latter object we effected,
for the enemy in their hurry to get away had not sufficiently
barricaded it, and it was forced in by our soldiers; but few
shots were interchanged, and consequently, I :am happy to
say, our casualties are few. The results of our capture were
a few guns and a body of prisoners. It gives me great
gratification to add that, notwithstanding the provocations
they had received for some days past, our men behaved
with the greatest humanity and forbearance; the prisoners
taken in the fort threw away their arms, and I believe not
one was injured, though a very considerable deal of firing
took place on a few armed people escaping down the slopes of
the hills. In a very short time we were joined by our
reserve, under Lieutenant-Colonel Poole, with Captain Hogg,
commanding Grenadiers, and Lieutenant Grimes, of the same
regiment. Major Clemons, also, of the Madras 20th Native
Infantry, and a few of his men, and I believe also Captain
Bailey

have omitted mention, I had previously observed very for-
ward below the fort of Punalla, and reported themselves to
me in Powanghur.
I have also omitted till now to mention our left wing, or
rather our left post, under the north-west angle of Powan-
ghur, which I had placed under Major George, C. 8., her
Majesty's 22d Regiment, the third officer in seniority of this
brigade. They consisted of an infantry picket under Lieut.
Carrow, her Majesty's 23d Regiment (the same officer who
captured a rebel with a document of some importance upon
him); and also of a cavalry picket, under Lieutenant Fitz-
gerald, her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons. I am much
indebted to Major George for his superintendence of these
important posts.
Having placed the fortress under the command of Lieut.-
Colonel Poole, C. 8., and withdrawn the Grenadiers, I re-
turned with the latter to the camp, where, from the extreme
ruggedness of the paths and darkness, we only arrived at 9
o'clock, r.at.
My extreme right infantry picket of 150, her Majesty's
22d and 30th Grenadiers, under Ensign Black, opposite, or
rather near to, a blocked-up gate near the northern angle of
the Punalla Fort, whence it was expected many of the enemy
would endeavour to escape, were commanded by Captain
Mainwaring, her Majesty's 22d Regiment. Beyond ravines
on the north-western side of Punalla, and in a direction lead-
ing to the Concan, I had placed Captain Bromwich and
Lieutenant Prettejohn, and a strong picket of her Majesty's
14th Light Dragoons; and in connexion with Captain Brom-
wich on the one side, and with the sentries of General
Delamotte's own camp on the other, I placed a long line of
horsemen, belonging to his Highness the Raja of Sattara, and
commanded by Rao Sahib Buckshee, a relation of the Raja's,
and Jozree Singh Rissaldar. My Brigade-Major, Captain
Clarke, of the 2d Grenadiers, with great zeal and much per-
sonal exertion, did me the favour himself to place this long
chain of Sattara Irregular Horsemen. lam much indebted
to Captain Clarke for the judicious manner in which this
service was performed. From an eminence far in advance
on the right he watched the progress of the operations of the
Ist and 2d Brigades, and of the guns ; and I believe could
distinguish the storming party proceeding to the breach;
thus putting the Sattara troops particularly on the alert at
the proper moment.
Certain Stuart, her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons, com-
manding the squadron with my brigade, having made ar-
rangements for the protection of our camp during the ab-
sence of our reserve, himself took one troop or ratber more,
14th Light Dragoons, and placed them near the gorge of the
ravine, between the two hills of Punalla and Powanghur,
and held his troop in hand to act as circumstances might
require.
Thus for many miles of circuit these fortresses were hem-
med in by a complete line of sentries and videttes, extending
from the head-quarter camp on the southward and westward
of our extreme right along the north-west and north-east
faces of Punalla; and north-west and north of Powanghur
to my extreme left, where my cavalry parties communicated
with Captain Arthur, commanding several detachments, I
believe, of the Ist. Brigade.
I venture to hope that Major-General Delamotte, C. 8.,
commanding our force, will recommend to the most favour-
able notice of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of this
presidency, the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men,
European and native, of this brigade, which I have had the
honour to command, and whose zeal and gallantry on this
occasion it is impossible too much to commend. It wonld be
presumptuous in me, unless called upon, more particularly
than I have done to specify names.
I beg to enclose Captain Clarke's letter of his operations.
I have the honour to be, &c.,

g 4 to
inform the Major-General that the working parties during
the night of that date succeeded in advancing the 18-pounders
to a position fixed upon by Major Peat and myself, within
about 350 yards of the walls. The field guns were also
moved to a more commanding position on the left flank. In
the meantime the 8-inch mortars which had been got into
position by dusk, continued to play during the night, at
intervals of about an hour, on the gateway and its vicinity.
At an early hour yesterday morning I opened fire on tile
walls on a point about 100 yards to the right of the gate,
the field guns keeping down the enemy's fire. The masonry
was very solid, and resisted our shot for some time,d butole
about 8 o'clOck the of our fire beg an to tell,
wall to crumble. From this time the breach progressed
rapidly, and by 4 o'clock, Y.M., was pronounced practicable.

Camp near Powanghur, Nov. 28, 1844.
Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of
Major-General Delamotte, commaning field force, that agree-
ably to brigade order of the 26th ult., I left camp at 6 A.M.,
with a party detailed as stated at foot,f and proceeded at
once to storm the pettas on the northern side of Punalla,
the Brigadier and staff accompanying the party, and from
him I received orders in person, until he fell mortally
wounded.
On ascending the hills the enemy, who were in consider-
able numbers, commenced firing on us from behind rocks and
other cover, and were immediately driven into the petta by
the skirmishers.X
The main body of the party were then halted under cover
on the edge of the pettas, the advance parties, half Eu-
ropean and half natives, moving on under Ensign Budd, her
Majesty's 22d Regiment, and Ensign Black, 2d Grenadiers,
led by Lieut.-Col. Outram, C. 8., and attended by Captain
Clarke, 2d Grenadiers, Acting Brigade Major.
The enemy were speedily driven up inte the Fort of Punalla.
The party then passed close under the gate of the fort,
enabling Colonel Outram to make a full and satisfactory re-
connoisance, then moving on took post under cover just
below the neck of land connecting the two forts, whence
Captain Clarke was dispatched by Colonel Outran to the
main body, which was conducted by that officer, under Co-
lonel
Hicks's orders, through the whole of the pettas: in
succession to the spot where Colonel Outram was posted ;
the enemy during the whole time keeping up a heavy fire of
artillery and matchlocks from the walls, fortunately without
effect, owing to the rapid movement of the men and the
cover afforded by the irregular nature of the ground ; at this
time, being in a nullah, the enemy, after many unsuccessful
efforts, at last got the proper range, and our lamented bri-
gadier fell—the only casualty on our side, with the exception
of one private of her Majesty's 22d Regiment severely
wounded, with the advance partyunder Ensign Budd, though
I have reason to believe from the statements made to me
by both officers and men with considerable loss to the enemy,
many of whom were seen to fall. The whole party were
then reunited near the part which had been held in its ab-
sence by a party of 50 men of her Majesty's 22d Regiment,
and 20 of the Grenadiers, under Lieutenant Smith, of her
Majesty's 22d Regiment, and were relieved, about 4 o'clock,
r.M., by a detachment from camp, under Brevet-Major Con-
way, her Majesty's 22d Regiment.
In conclusion I beg to add, that the conduct of both offi-
cers and men of the whole detachment, European and
native, who were constantly intermixed, was characterised
by the greatest coolness and intrepidity throughout the day,
under a very heavy and almost incessant fire of all arms ;
the fatigue and exertions required of them (which were much
increased by the nature of the ground) during ten hours
being borne with the utmost cheerfulness, though much
exhausted, not having partaken of food from the previous
evening.
Having expressed myself fully satisfied with the conduct
of all, it was not my Intention to have mentioned the names
of any, but I must in justice state that the very conspicuous
gallantry of Colour-Sergeant Burke, of her Majesty's 22d
Regiment, was especially reported to me by the Brigade-
Major and Captain Hogg, and that of Naique Jerdab, 3d
Company 2d Grenadiers, by Ensign Budd, her Majesty's 22d
Regiment.
I beg to enclose a report from Captain Hogg, 2d Grenadiers,
who throughout the day rendered me every assistance.--

Sir,—l do myself the honour to forward, for the informa-
tion of the Major-General commanding the force, the enclosed
report from Captain Jephson, of the 2d or Queen's Royal
Regiment, regarding an affair with the enemy on the evening
of the 26th instant, in carrying out the orders personally
given to him by the Major-General. The post is still occu-
pied by a similar detachment. from the brigade under my
command.—l have the honour to be, &c.,

TO MAJOR GEORGE, COMMANDLNG THE STORMING PARTY ON
THE PETTAS OF THE NORTHERN SIDE or THE FORTS.
Sir,—l have the honour to report, for your information,
that agreeably to Brigade orders by the late Lieutenant-
Colonel Hicks, I proceeded in command of a company of the
2d Grenadiers, and accompanied the party you commanded
to storm the pettaa on the northern side of the Fort of Pu-
nalla, which after some skirmishing was effected in a gallant
manner, and the whole of them carried without any casualty
in my detachment, the conduct of which I had every reason
to be satisfied with.

In particular I have to notice the able manner in which
Ensign Black and Jemadar Toolah Ram, when detached
skirmishing, led on their parties, which reflects great credit
on those two officers.
I beg also to mention the names of Xaique Jeewan, 3d
Company; Naique Pursnac Durmnac, 3d Company; Pri-
vates Kannak Kalnak, 3d Company; Gunge Deen, 3d Com-
pany; Hermaitcr Dalmaiter, 3d Company; Ramjee Hum-
nee, 7th Company, whose conduct was most conspicuous
throughout the day, and was particularly brought to my
notice.
If I may be permitted to mention her Majesty's 22d, it
has been brought to my notice by Ensign Black and many
others, that Colonel-Sergeant Burke's gallantry was the ad-
miration of all, and at different times, when the men of her
Majesty's 20th were intermixed with the Grenadiers, their
steadiness of behaviour in every manner was most praise-
worthy, under a heavy fire of both artillery and wall pieces
from the forts.—l have the honour to be, &c.,

Captain (senior officer in charge) 2d Grenadiers.

Sir,—l do myself the honour to report, for the informa-
tion of the officer commanding the brigade, that in compli-
ance with the orders personally given me by Major-General
Delamotte, I yesterday proceeded with the force named
below to occupy the village below the ridge to the west of
the fort, at about four o'clock, 1.. M. Shortly before reaching
the village I found the enemy posted on the heights in front
of, and which command the village, and also on grounds be-
tween the heights and the village ; on perceiving this I con-
tinued the march to the left, and clear of the village, in
order to turn it.. The advance, under LieutenantsubadsiuvbisdioivnOisldoiloftam,

and took the main body myself to the right, and occupied
the village. The skirmishers continued their advance, and

orders received from the Major-General, an advanced picket
was established.

Whilst on my route this morning from Pataganin, a trooper

continued my rapid advance, and on arrival discovered that
some sharp shooters of the enemy had advanced close to. the
post, under cover of the jungle. I immediately ordered out,
some skirmishers, and had them .driven back. ' Previous to

OF TUE ARSIY.
Sir,—ln my letter dated the 9th inst., No. 19, I reported
that in conformity to orders I marched at four o'clock on the
afternoon of the sth inst. from Punnallaghnr, and the arrival
of the light field force, after a march of about seventy miles,
before Rangna, on the morning of the 9th inst., when a strong
stockade, with a strong gate in the centre, a stone wall some
feet high, embracing the petta from scary to scary on both
flanks, with a fine ditch in its entire front, was immediately
stormed and carried ; and during the night of the same day the
two 9-pounder guns, and two si-inch mortars,• having been
placed in battery, they opened their fire early on the
morning of the 10th with such effect that the fort guns
were soon silenced. The shelling was also admirable,
and so judiciously thrown that it was evident the enemy
could not long endure it I have now the honour to con-
vey the information that the enemy during the night
of the 10th inst. evacuated the fort, but which was only
ascertained after daylight this morning, when Sergeant
Gallagher, of the Ordnance Department of the. Bombay
army, and Gunner Peter Smith, of the A company 2d Bat-
talion of the Madras Artillery, voluntarily and gallantly went
forward up to the outer gate, and the officer on duty at the
battery ( Lieut. Green, of the 21st Bombay Native Infantry).
seeing the advance of the sergeant and gunner, both of
whom contrived with great difficulty to scramble up over
the outer wall and open the wicket, moved forward with
the pickets under his command, and got possession of the
principal gate of the fort, where he remained until my
arrival, which was as soon as I could reach the fort after re-
ceiving information of the event. There was not a man,
woman, or child found within the fort, only a few of the killed
of the enemy.
I have to express my thanks to Lieutenant Grubb, and
Second Lieutenant Jones, and to the non-commissioned, rank
and file, of the A company of the 2d Battalion of Madras Ar-
tillery, for the admirable practice of the guns and mortars,
and for their cheerful performance of their laborious dutie7.

At a General Court-martial assembled at Sukkur. on
Thursday, the 14th of November, 1844, Lieutenant. Colonel
George Weyland Moseley, of the 2d Regiment of Bengal
European Infantry, late of the 64th Regiment of Bengal Na-
tive Infantry, was arraigned on the following charges :
First Charge.—For gross and wilful neglect of duty, and.
direct breach of the articles of War, in having concealed from
his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief the existence of a
mutiny which occurred in the 64th Regiment of Bengal
Native Infantry when on the line of march from Kurnaust
towards Sinde, at camp, Moodkee, on or about the 13th and
14th days of March, 1844, at which periods he (Lieutenant-
Colonel Moseley) was in command of the regiment.
Second Charge.—For scandalous conduct, subversive of an
military discipline, and highly derogatory to the commanding
officer of a regiment, in the following instances:—
First Instance....ln having, at Camp Tibbee, while on the
line of march from Kurnaul towards Sinde, on or about the

Shikaipore.

during the march from Kurnaul towards Sinde, had been
in excellent order, he (Lieutenant-Colonel Moseley)

RECOMMENDATION.

The Court, having performed the painful duty of sentenc-
ing the prisoner, Lieut.-Col. Moseley as above stated, do
1101 C, in consideration of his long and meritorious services,
beg respectfully to recommend his case to the favourable
consideration of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief.
REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE CONDIANDER-IN-CHIEF.
The Commander-in-Chief deeply regrets that he is pre-
cluded from attending to the recommenuation of the Courtin
favour of an officer who has served 39 years ; but the conse-
quences of Lieut.-Col. Moseley's misconduct have been so
prejudicial to discipline, so highly injurious to the public
eereice, and productive of such unhappy results, that his Ex-
cellency feels himself constrained to give full weight to the
just sentence passed by the Court.
The name of Lieut.-Colonel Moseley is to be struck off the
list of the army from the date of publication of this order at
ukkur, and a report of its having been so is to be made to
the Adjutant-General of the army.
By order of his Excellency the Commander-in •Chief,
J. R. LUMLEY,
V.ajor-General, Adjutant-General of the Army.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Calcutta Overland Price Current, Dec. 20, 1844.)
Indigo.—This article has almost entirely captivated the
attention of all parties wishing to speculate or make remit-
tances, and inconsequence very considerable activity has been
experienced in it throughout the past month.
The opening sales were governed with extreme caution,
but gradually a more speculative feeling manifested itself,
and the French (who pretended to have no limits above
150 rupees for the very finest marks) having shown a dispo-
sition to coma forward at the time when considerable trans-
actions were taking place for Great Britain, our market gra-
dually improved, and very large parcels have changed hands
both by private contract and public sale, at prices showing
an advance of 5 rupees to 15 rupees on earlier purchases, and
in some instances at as much as 20 rupees above the rates
ruling last year in December and the early part of January,
or fully equal to those of February. We may here remark that
the price at which the finer qualities have been disposed of
is, comparatively speaking, much under that obtained for
middling and inferior descriptions. These rates, however,
baying induced proprietors to come forward freely, and
many orders having been completed, this, together with the
proximity of the mail, has combined to induce a degree of
dullness at several of the late sales. Whatever may be the
accounts we are about to receive, it is not supposed that any
great change will take place in this market unless the mail
brings bad accounts and lower limits.
The Americans and Moguls have not, as yet, come forward
to purchase, and we are also aware of a great many French
orders still on hand, although they cannot be executed at
present rates.
As will be perceived by the annexed memorandum, the
greater portion of the indigo disposed of by private contract
has consisted of fine marks, and been taken principally on
.french account.
The total quantity sold up to date is about 50,000 maunds,
ET a little more than a third of the crop but should the
indigo belonging to the various associations be (as it gene-
-3017 is) sent home direct, we may calculate on half of the
entire crop being out of the market. Generally speaking,
the quality of the produce -of Lower Bengal is not so good as
was expected,- and a great many marks are inferior to last
year, whilst, on the contrary, Purneah, Tirhoot, and the
Ivor provinces, have succeeded much better.
Notwithstanding that this season's out-turn is consider-
Ably under last, we are of opinion that quite as much will
change hands here, there being very few planters who do not
prefer the certainty of present high prices to the chance of
shipping.

Sugar—The last accounts from England being still fa-
vourable for white Benares, the demand for that description
was very general at the commencement of the month, and
there being but few parcels offering it was all taken at some-
thing above former rates ; latterly, however, there being
only inferior qualities in the bazaar, and the home accounts
lor such being rather discouraging, a decided decline has
I 4ken place, although not to any great extent, but at the
same time first quality is still inquired for at former rates.
The exports of late exhibit a falling off, being from the Ist
t the 17th inst., inclusive, only
.53,898 maunds.
Saltpetre—Finer qualities having of late been more abun-
dant and somewhat less inquired for, have slightly receded
in price' but inferior descriptions, which have been taken
to some extent for America, have fully maintained former
' rates.
Exports from the Ist inst. up to date have been as follows,
iz.:—To. Great Britain, 40,880 maunds; France, 269

Rum—Notwithstanding that we are still unable to report
-tiny transactions in this market, shipments continue to go
f irward to fully the former extent, and in consequence of
the favourable result of some shipments of superior quality,
snore attention has of late been paid to the manufacture of the
article.

Raw Silk—Towards the latter end of last month a fair
amount of business was done in this 'staple, and our market
completely cleared of the finer. qualities of Cossimbazar and
ungypore at about former prices. In Hurrypanl and Rad-
tlagere, however, in consequence of there being rather a
teavy stock, and the accounts from home being unfavour-
able, transactions were effected' at somewhat easier rates ;
latterly there has been scarcely anything doing, holders not
• I)eing inclined to submit to any. decline, and all parties seem
row disposed to await the arrival of the November bund,
which will commence to come to market about the beginning
of January.
Eitports to Great Britain from Ist instant up to date
demount to 142 maunds.
Cotton—We are again unable to report a single transaction
;DI this article, nor has there been a bale shipped to any part

b wing given way, shipments to a considerable extent were
Dont forward at about former rates. Since then, however,
the new crop, having partially come to market, prices of
t.tble may be quoted lower, but this is counteracted by the
late rise in freights. Moonghee maintains its price, and is in
cAnand. Exports from Ist instant up to this date are as fol.
