the tran of the inner fort, As that
alto mother eras
almoft prafticable in a tower at the angle of the outer
fort, the garrifon offered to capitulate on the Morn-
ing of the tyth, on Condition of being proteeted in
their perfons and private property. To theft terms
I agreed, on condition of immediately taking poiFef-
finn of the breach in the inner wall, with a company
of Sepoys. They, however, tacked other fiipula-
tions to the capitulation, viz. that I fhotild agree to
pay them the arrears due from Scindia, and that
two of the Commanders of the Gv•icawer Cavalry
with me (amounting to about three hundred bode)
fhould fign the agreement. To thole latter articles
I would on no account agree ; and it was not until
four p. m. when they found, from our continuing to
batter, that I would of no delay, that they
agreed to the original terms, which were immedi-
ately carried into full effeel by their evacuation of
the fort and mountain, of which we took praffeflion.
If this had not taken place, I had made the =airy
arrangements for (forming both breaches on the
morning of the 18th ; and I conceive that the garri-
fon were intimidated from a knowledge, that if they
oppofed us on our entering the breaches, 'their com-
munication with the upper fort would be cut off, and
they bad no other way to efcape than the road which
led down by our battery. Could they have obtained
poffeffion of the upper fart, or Balla Kills, at the top
of the mountain, I am inclined to think it utterly
impregnable. I have left Captain CLlvra, of .the
Engineers, to take a plan and view of the forts and
works on the mountain, which I doubt not, from his
known abilities, will be ably executed. It is with the
remelt pleafure that I embrace this opportainity of
fubmitting, for your notice, the merits, zeal, and
great exertions of all ranks on this fervice.

PRIVATE ACCOUNTS.
The following are tome details of the late fplendid vletory in
the Deem, beyond what has been hitherto publiGLA ; as alto
accounts of the movements of our army, four days fubfaquent

to the date of the °Eclat letters.
We find that General WELLF az t y,having been joined
by Colonel STEVENSON, with the Nizam's Sublidiary
and Contingent Army on the :4th, moved on the
28th of September in purfuit of the enemy, who
continued retreating with the greatett precipitation
towards the Acljuntee Pals. It appears that Scindia's
army carried off a few guns from the field of bank,
but the carriages had fuffered fn much during the
engagement, that they brcke down, and the enemy,
in the hurry of their retreat, were obliged to leave
them behind. Our total force brought into :talon,
amounted to goo Europeans and 3600 Sepoys ; total
4500, with about 5200 horfes. The enemy had up-
wards of 40,000, the flower of their army ; many of
their battalions officered by Frenchmen, and' their
artillery numerous and excellently ferved. Our Ids
has been, killed, 198 Europeans, and 4.28 natives;
total 626, with 325 honks. Wounded, 442 Euro-
peans, 1138 natives ; total 1580, with II t horfes.—
Total killed and wounded, 2206, being nearly half
of the entire number brought into the fieia. The
Mahrattas loft 6200 killed, and double that number
wounded.

The tgth Light Dragoons broke through the ene-
my's line no Ids than four times.
Colonel MAVA`ELL was killed by a cannon ball
which (truck his head.

The account of this viaory, which was obtained
on the banks of the Kilna not Kifloa, produced great
joy at Poonah, and our army encamped in that
neighbourhood fired a Royal Salute oa the occa-
lion.

44 The whole-of General We...taster's force non-
rated of four battalions of Native Infantry (one bat-
talion having been left in ciwge of the baggage at
finall village about four mils in the rear), a fmall
detachment of artillery, four regiments of cavalry,
' and his Majefty's 74th arid 78th regiments, whip
the enemy could not have amounted to lefs than
40.000 men, with a wen appointed park of artillery
of upwards cf ninety pieces of cannon.
44 In our laft Gazette we hated that Major Gene•
ral WEccrstt y's army en the 7th ult. was encamp-
ed on the banks of the Gadavet y, waiting the arrival
of Captain HILL with (implies: that officer fortu-
nately j•,ined the following day ; when, loon after-
wards the army began their march ; the General
having obtained information that SCINDIA had de-
tached hit cavalry towards the Adjuntee pals, and
that he meant to follow immediately with the main
body of the army, formed the &flan ef furprizing
him : and on the ajd, after A match of feventeen
miles, they came up with SCINDIA'S army.
44 N,Vhcn General WELLESLEY came up with the
enemy, he found them encamped is a very Itrong
pofition : in the front, tight, and rear, it was pro-
refted by a very deep nullah or ravine. General
Ws ttsstsv, on chferving the politicn of the enemy,
and depending on the tried valour and diCcipline ei
his ollicers and men, intlantly determined on the st-
tack, forming his line on the enemy's left; on which
movement SCINDIA immediately fent away his bag-'
gage, and verrared to opprfe the Gereral's attack.
.` The D:itifh line was formed with much judg-
ment in the following order :—The firt line confih-
