Sin—l have the honotte. to report to you, for the
information of Brigad;er-General Morrison, C.B. com-
manding the south-.astern 'division, that tie storming
party he did me the honour of entrusting to my charge,
yesterday evening completely . succeeded in effecting
the object &sited, with the bayonet, and without the
loss of a man.. That after ti.e.jonction of the remainder
of my brigade with the two six-pounders,. I Made my
artatigements for proiecatirig the success I had ob-
tained last night, the result of which is well known to
the Brigadier-General.
In making this report, I cannot refrain from express-
ing my most sincere thanks to every Officer and man,
both European and native, engaged, for the spirit and
gallantry they displayed; and I feel it my duty to state,
that I received every assistance from my Brigade-Ma-
jor, Captain B. Ferne, and from the active exertions of
Capt. Hugh Gordon,who volunteered to accompany me.
I cannot close this letter without stating my high
sense of gratitude to Lieutenant Wroughton, of the
Surveying D partmeut, %kilo accompanied me for the
purpose of pointing out the road, for the judgmentaand
ability with which he executed the difficult task of lead-
ing my advance to the point of attack, to which I
chiefly attribute my having so completely succee.'ed in
gaining possession of such a very strong post (the key of
the enemy's position), without any loss.--4 have, Ste.

der m it my duty to bring to. the notice of
Brigadier-General Morrison, commanding the South-
eastern. Division, Cie very.gallantconduet of a havildar
of the light company of the 26th Reiliment of Native
Infantry, by name Summer Sing, who was one among
,the very first of those whointored theenelity's stockade
'yesterday evening, and w;!o, by displaying an example
of coolness to those who followed him, clearly chewed
' what a noble weapon of offence the bayonet is, when
w gilded by a resolute and determined soldier.
In mentioning the gallant conduct of ar. individual
of the 26th Regiment Native Infantry, Leannot refrain
from stating, that that of the corps altogether has been,
ever since It has been employed on the present service,
most exemplary in every respect, whether it regards
their gallantry, discipline, and tteadihess in the field,
rlr t: eir patient endurance of privations, which such a
service as the one they have been engaged in has called
on them to endure. I trust, therefore, that the Brigadier-
General will do me the honour of bringing these cir-
cumsta ces io the notice of his Excellency the Com-
mander-in-Chief, that the impression which may have
been attached to the name of the Regiment, in conse-
quenceth of the participation of some dissolute characters
in e unfortunate mutiny of the late 47th Regiment, at
Barrackpore, may be removed.—l have, ix

Nothing farther seems to have been done, and the ships
