as is the loss sustained on this occasion, and deeply as
it is to be deplored, it is some. satisfaction to the
ruindnf the Right Hon. the Commander in Chief to
observe, it falls considerably short of the nainber
there was at first reason to apprehend had fallen and
suffered.

The undaunted valour displayed by the officers and
troops who were engaged, under the serious disad-
vantage of one column only, and the reserve having
(from the accidental cause mentioned by Colonel
Mawbey) reached the destined points of assault, out
of four columns and a reserve, or&red by their la-
mented leader in the original plan of attack, Las ex-
cited the highest admiration in the Commander in
Chief, and the firmest conviction in his Excellency's
mind, that the object would have been effected, if
the most determined valour could possibly have
achieved it under the circumstances of the contest.

Orders have been given for the 'close investment ci
'the place, and means are•abcsut to be employed for
its reduction, which will, the Commander in Chiet
trusts, prove speedily effectual.

contiduation of the brief and hurried
ac-
count of the melancholy transactions of yesterday,
Which I had the honour to forward to you, I now
beg leave to transmit, fox the Right Honourable the
Commando' in atief's information, the following
more detailed and connected report of the unfortu-
nate and unsuccessful attack on the fort of Kalunga,
in the -Dhoon.

in pursuance of the arrangements and instructions
of our late noble and gallant leader, Makir-General
Gillespie, the army was formed into four columns of
attack, wi4th a column of reserve, on the `29th of
October, agreeable to the inclosed statement.,
The columns under Lieutenant-Colnnel Carpenter
and Major Ludlow, marched from the encampment
at half pact three o'clock, p.m. on the 30th October,

• •
red took possession of the Table Land, fortunately
ithont resistance from the enemy, and established
!.! ere, s" as to cover the working party
;;,h ryas s to be employed. during the night, in con-
srict:.,g batteries. This iery ice was performed under
hilediate direction cif_ Major Pennington, corn-
:dint the Artinety, and Ensign Baue, of the tn.
g
• " assisted by Lieutenants Elliott and Ellis, of
tti;
Pioneers I and by day-light on the Slit, the fol-
bwing pieces of ordnance were ready to open on the
rot at the distance of about 600 yards.
Two five and a half-inch hOwitzers, two twelve
yrht.rundc rs, horse nttillerit four 6-pounders batta-
lion guns, two five and• a half-inch mortars.
shortly after day-light the batteties opened On a*
Fort, and kept up a well directed fire.
The columns of attack, undet Major Kelly and
Captains Fast arid Campbell, had pieiriously 'moved.
0 as to be in readiness to Maki their attack at the
ume moment with the one from the Table Land.
itt two o'clock, a. as. Major Kelly moved on kur
tcl'e by the ligheikeena rdad $ Captain Fast, at three
o'clock towards the stockade, by the village of
.Luck-
!!ound, and Capt. Campbell by the tillage of Ustull.
The signal for thescOlumns Moving tb the assault
eras to be fired from the batteries two bouts previous
to the Moment of amid; sibiCh was to be repeated
from the aithp below:
The signal was fired at about eight o'clock, and
the columns under Lictitenant-Colonel Carpenter and
Major-General Ludlow shortly after moved to the

assault, and carried, is a most gallant manner, the
stockade thrown across the road leading to the fort,
and pushed on close under the walls of the fort; which
were stockaded all round, and a small opening (the
only one seen) had stockades within stockadei ; from
this they were obliged to fall back, front the insur-
mountable difficulties that presented theniselves, after
a dreadful loss in office** and men, under shelter of
±:ie village between the first stockade and the fort,
which they had previously possession of:
Soon after the cottfmni for the Table Land moved,
2:iree additional companies of the 55d were ordered
Lip troth camp, and by the dine they arrived on the
Table Laud, the colt:nuns in advance had been ob.
l!ged to fall back to the tillage befOre alluded to.-
17ith this snail force, and two sit-panicle**, the
Insve and gallant General itioved on to the ettack
faiough the village, which had been set on fire, and
.?,:tr making two unsticeesifiil assaults on the forts
:a the third, While nobly cheering on his men, within
&Arty yards of the gate Way, he received a mortal
wound, and fell, most sinCerely lamented and te-
&rotted by the whole anny.
It is impossible for me to state particulars of the
assaults which occurred; baying been directed by
our laniented Chief, to ieniain with two companies
of the 53d. (which had been sent far to rainforest-the
Table Lindy, and two Companies of native infantry,
to cover him, and 'skeet the guns oa the liittefies ;
bit I must beg leave to refer his Lordship to Cap.
tan Bye* Aide-de-Camp to Major-General Gillespie,
tot' more minute details thin it is in my power to
stab. Captain Byers left camp this morning, on hit
wal to headitiarters, and I trust that the informa-
tion he will be able to give his Lordship, will be
most Satisfactory.
The signal for the columni to Move to the attack
was act heard either by Major Kelly, Captain Fast,'
Or Captain Cashpbell.

"ft is iMpossihla I can conclude this report withoUt
expressing the highest. satisfaction at the determined
bravery of the troops employed yesterday. To par.
tkularize any, would be doing an injustice to the
whole ; and I trust that this general exprehion of
upptotution, will be equally satisfactory to all con.
ceirkid, as it is intended by me to convey, in the fall-
Manner possible, the high Sense I eatertahrof the
zeal and courage of every officer and soldier Of this •
army who• were engaged yesterday:

Incited I have the honour to tfanunit a rettirn of
the killed and woundecb( and have tip honour to be,
