Priteketglmr, MO June 1E418; inclosed in a Letter front
ElphHstonc to Mr. Warden, Chief Secretary to die
Boaibay Government, dated ttith June 1818.,

have the honour to acquaint yon, for
the information of General Smith, that the de-
tachruent under my command encanped yesterday
as neat to l'ritchetghur as the jungle.wonld ad-
mit, and shortly Afterwards occupied a 114-;,h held
which completely commands that place. I imme-
diately sent to the Killedar, requesting him to
deliver np the fort, lint without effect ; and in
the course of the day Captain,Spillar went over
and was admitted tinder a flag of truce, at.d did
every o,ing in his power to induce the garrison
to comply with my demand, which they promi•ed
to do the tollowing day ; as I however put but
little faith in their 'assurances, I sent back during
'.ll.te night to the top of the Moreghorry (Thant for
one of the guns, which hat) been carried up the
rday before, and owing to the exertions of the de-
tachment and the assistance. which had been sent
me front S.ttAra, I had the pleasure of. seeing it
brought up and mounted upon the hill which we.
.occupied by two o'clock : 1 then warned tlr
tudar of the consequences that would elastic if the
and on receiving no satisfactory answer com-
nrenced hostilities.
The first two shells seemed to alarm them a
good deal, but unfortunately they had so much
'cover that it was impossible to reach them ; sen-
sible of this they rose up the moment our gun was
!fixed, and sct us at defiance. Under such mar-
tifying the only way I thought it
:possible to get into the place was by blowing
open the gateway by musketry, which service
,Captain the most gallant manner,.
„offered to perform ; Lieutenant Redford also vo-
lunteered to accompany him. Fifty men from the
.6th regiment, and a party front the auxiliary
horse, were immediately formed, and advanced to
the gateway on the
,opposite side of the tower.
Fearful that Captain Spillar might be over-
powered by numbers, I joined him with a rein-
'forcement, and had soon the happiness of seeing
a hole blown through the gate, sufficiently large
-to admit one man at a time. The enemy were corn-
-plerely panic struck, and fled in all directions;
and in the course of a few minutes the fort was in
•our possession. Tite I{ajah and his laMily were
made prisoners; and are now in camp. The
*mewl had five men killed, an<d the Subidar of the
fort wounded. I ought to have .wentioned that
:during our advance to the gateway the gun was
well directed by Lieutenant Roe, which, no doubt,
prevented the enemy trom occupying that.part of
the works. I have, SIC.
