of one hundred dead bodies have been since counted
in the interior of the fort.
Thus have the unparalleled exertions of the brave,
officers and men engaged in this assault, not only se-
verely punished and amply revenged the treacherous
attacks of their fellow soldiers at Suthenee, in May
last, but have, I trust, proved to the minds of the in-
habitants of Rewah their erroneous impressions of
their own superiority.
I deeply regret these objects have not been obtained
without loss on our part. No European officer has
fallen ; hot in the list of wounded I am concerned to
report Captain Lindsay, who so gallantly headed the
main attack; Captain Meredyth, and Ensign Mat=
den, Ist battalion 9th regiment Native Infantry.
am, however, led to hope that their wounds will not
he attended with serious consequences. I have the
honour to enclose a return of our loss, which I con-
ceive unusually small, when the obstinate defence of
the Ghurree is considered, and the time the attack
lasted.
I have now to perform a pleasing part of my duty,
in reporting, for his Excellency's information, the
distinguished gallantry and persevering bravery so
universally displayed by all ranks employed on this
important occasion. To the Sepoys every enco-
mium is due, for their perseverance in continuing the
attack with unabated ardour, under circumstances of
peculiar difficulty, even after the heavy loss in offi-
cers sustained early in the attack. It is difficult 10
particularize individual merit . where exertions are so
equaleunless when situations of command or respon.
sibility render them peculiarly conspicuous. Captain
Lindsay, who commanded the main attack, is en.
titled to the highest encomiums for his steadiness in
leading on the columns, and for his judicious ar-
rangements, so well calculated to insure success.
To Captain Patric kson, who led the second colUmn,
and intended to distract the attentioa of the enemy,
an object effectually accomplished by his active ef-
forts to escalade the fort, every praise is due.
Lieutenant Todd, who commanded the pioneers,
was distinguished in leading the troops to the breach;
and the cool determined conduct he displayed in
planting the ladders, and opening the road into the
tort, by forcing the wicket on the sorthern curtain.
The professional ability of Captain Tickell, Field
Engineer, has afforded me that advice and assist.
ance in determining the point of attack, which must
so eminently have contributed to the success of the
assault.
To Captain Stark, who commanded the batteries,
and the officers under his orders, I cannot bestow too
great praise for their animated tire, and the skill with
which it was directed.
The success attending the judicious arrangements
adopted by Major Clark, commanding the division
of the sth regiment cavalry, for cutting off and pre.
venting the escape of the garrison, even alter the
three companies were withdrawn, for the purpose of
supporting the storming columns, entitles that offi-
cer's skill and exertions to every commendation.
In conclusion, I have great pleasure in reporting
the high gratification I have received from the exec.
tions of Captain Faithful, Major of Brigade, Lieute-,
nant Roberts, of the sth regiment cavalry, and Lieu-
tenant Barrow, of the 10th regiment native infantry,
from whose zeal and intelligence I derived great ad-
vantage in conducting the necessary arrangementi on
this inipot tant occasion.—l have the honour so lii:,

ing his Majesty's troops in the province of Nova

MY Lotto—Since the letter which 1 had the honour
of addressiog to your Lordship on the 9th instanyl
have now the satisfaction of reporting that Moos!

Captain Sir Thomas Hardy, and Lieutenant-Colonel

session

I have the honour herewith to transmit to your
-Lordship a copy of Lieutenant-Colonel Pilkington's.
report to me hereupon, which encloses a copy of the
summons, the terms of capitulation granted, Ste. An
I beg leave to represent to your Lirdship, the praise-
worthy zeal manifested by I..cote•nant-Colonel Pil-
kington, in volunteesjng his services to conduct this
expedition, as well as the judicious arrangements a hich
he made, contributing to its successful termination.
The Lieutenant-Colonel expresses himself under the
greatest obligations to Sir Thomas Hardy, for the
co-operation he met with from that able and me: ito
nous officer, to whose conciliating conduct he attri-
butes the cordial good understanding and unanimity
that prevailed between both branches of the service.—
And he also speaks very highly of Captain Senliouse,
of his Majesty's ship Martin, who superintended the
disembarkation of the troops, and of all the naval
officers, and ►he seamen who assisted therein.

Lieuten*nt•Colonel Pilkington gives much credit
to Lieutenant• Colonel Herries, commanding theltdd
regiment ; to Captain Dunn, commanding the de-
tachment of Royal Artillery, and to all the officers
and troops under his command, for the zral and
steadiness which they displayed, while in the prospect
of attacking the enemy's work on Moose Island.
