beg you will do me the favour to re-
port to his Excellency the. Right Hon. the Com-
mander-in-Chief, that I marched at seven o'clock
yesterday morning from Etowndalt, after placing
the defences of the fortified depot.there in a for-
ward state of preparation, anti leaving for its de.:
• ;fence four 6-pounders, and seven companies Pr
the 2(1 battalion of the 4th Native Infants y, son-
der Major Campbell, ths remaining three com-
Tonics of that corps being posted on the crest of
the Chereeah-Ghates pass.
At three in theiftertioon the advance brigade,
with the light train, arrived at our present ground
in the Chowgheria Mondee; which is an open level
.ground imthediately to the southward of the hills
.which cover the fortified heights and detached de-
fences of Muckwampore, and sothewhat, above
.two miles from those forts.
The train and.4th brigade arrived this morning
at nine o'clock, various obstacles and difficulties
having retarded their progress yesterday, though
the distance front Etownduh is only six Miles.
On our arrival, the enetny had a sit .14; party
;posted on a steep hill, Opposite our left flank,
also one considerably to the right on the same ridge
the former of these positions they evacuated early
this rnoriring, and a patty ohlsree companies, with
a small detachment of his Majesty's 87th Foot, are
• ,now posted there and I. am in hopes of turning
it to good account in my further operations, or at
any rate it will open our view of their positions.
Colonel Nicol reports from Ekoor, under date
of the 25th, that he was induced to leave the sth
grenadier battalion and,the Ist battalion Bth Na-
tive Infantry, and their proportion of field guns,
it that place under Major Lumley, with a view of
checking any attempt on the part of tht enemy
on the vallie4 of Raputet, from their posts
of Kadrang and Operdwrung,. to which they had,
retired on Isis advance. The Colonel also stated
ltis intention of proceeding next. morning along
the liaputee with the remainder of his force, to
join me at Etoundah, tind 1 tenet he will he able
to effect a junction with this camp in two or three
days. I have, &c.

SEA,--Wheit I had the honour of addressing
you yesterday, I could hardly suppose that a post
so recently and voluntarily abandoned would have
been a subject of contest ; but I had hardly closed
the letter, and after ascending a short yVay up the
,hill on the left to reconnoitre the enet4's posi-
tion, had proceeded towards the front of the right
td examine a stockade, supposed to be situated at
the eastern extremity of the same ridge, when a
smart firing advancing on our posts from the east.
Ward at half past 12, announced an attack in great
• force.

On my return to the front of the Hue I had a
Nery distinct view of the enemy's approach in
large bodice ; and successively detached to the
;Said of the party on the hill the light company of
his Majesty's 87th, and 2d battalion 25th Native
Infantry ; two more companies of the 87th' with
the 2d battalion ,12th Native Infantry, and two
six-pounders on elephants, accompanied by Co-
lonel Miller ; and lastly, the 2d 'battalion Bth
native Infantry. .
The Dimities of the enemy could not be less than
2,000 men, with several and repeated rein-
forcements I and during is momentary superio-
iity in numbers he approached close*to the village,
which was obstinatcly and gallantly disputed by
our small party; until the arrival of
,more troops
changed the fortune of the-day; and from this
time, until halt past five, their repeated assaults
.otrour positions were invariably repulsed, and he
was at length driven o'ff in confusion, chiefly by
a charge of the 2d battalion of the Bth Native In.
lantry, in the direction of the enemy's guns, one
of wbich, a 4-pounder on a carriage similar to our
std untairt train, `{vas abandoned, and brought in
this mornipg ; also a considerable quantity of gun
and' musketry ammunition,' which was' found
Strewed about in the utmost confusion.
The loss sustained by the enemy has been very
considerable, and is supppsed by many to be not
'Jess than 500 men, including several ut their Of-
as appears by their dresses.

passed two resolutions, which have displeased the
Court of Sweden. One was directed against
General Hoist, Governor of the fortress of Frid-

Sweden, and bore arms against Norway, his
country ; the other cited to the bar oribe Nor-
wegian Diet some Swedish Ministers, at the suit
of a Swedish Functionary. - -
:The Prince Royal of Sweden has engaged, the

to get these two,resolutions repealed before the

exists between the Norwegians and Swedes.
