WHITEHALL, JUNE 18, sills.
The Mowing intelligecce has been received at the
Balt India Houle, from Bengal:

TO HIE EXCELLENCY THB MOST NOBLE MARCUM{

WILLIIIILEIf.
My Lord—My difpa:ches of the 24th and 25th in•
giant*, will have informed your Lord(hip of the

complete (*meets of our operations againll the town
and fort of Deig. I attribute our ear!ypolfelliqn of
this lirong boards, entirely to the panic which the
garrifon experienced, on witnefing.the irrefiflible va•
Four and intrepidity of our troops in carrying by af-
fault the outwork, and forming their numerous bat-
teries, under the walls of the town, which were fup.
ported by extenfive entrenchments, occupied by a
large force, confiAing of feveral of the Rajah of
Bhurtporc's battalions, and the remaining infantry
of Jefwunt Ran Holkar. The number of the enemy
killed on the night of the i3d infl ant, was imme..
The ardent zeal, energy, and irrefthible valour,
which have marked the conduit of our officers and
troops employed on this occafion, under circumilan-
ces of peculiar difficulty and danger, ]huff: ever ra-
nee on them the highefl credits and the benefit the
nation has received from their exemplary and herice
behaviour, mull be matter of proud exultation to
every weU wiiher of the Britifh empire.—Too much
prailb cannot be bellowed on every corps engaged,
for the perfeil regularity with which this fervice was
performed. I found it neceffary to divide the force
defined for this fervice into three columns, the whole
mnving off fo as to teach the different points of at-
tack a little before twelve at night. The right co-
lumn, under Captain KELLY, confilling of four bat-
talion companies of the Honourable Company's Eu-
ropean regiments, and five companies of the if bat-
talion tzth 'regiment Native Infantry, was ordered
to carry the enemy's batteries and trenches on the

high ground to the left of the town. The fuccefs of
this party was complete, and entitles Captain KILL'.
to every praife for the manner in which it was con-
dueled, and for the coolnefs and gallantry he difplay-
ed under every trying cirt_um fiance, expored to a Leavy
fire tom artillery, which was defended with defpe-
rate refolution. Captain Rearm of the artillery,
who accompanied this party for the purpofe of fpik-
ing or bringing off the captured ordnance, particu-
larly fignalized himfelf on this dangerous Crevice...
The lett column, under Major RADCLIFFE, confining
of the remaining four battal:on companies of the Ho-
nourable Company's European regiment, and five
companies of the in battalion t zth regiment Native
Infantry, was defined to carry the trenches and bat-
teries on the enemy's right. This column was equally
foccefsfel with that oppoad to their left ; and the
fervice was performed with equal gallantry and fpirit,
and refit is infinite credit on Major Reecurre. The
centre column, led by Deutenant Colonel MACULA'
(who had the genera! command of the whole), con-
lifting of the flank companies of his Ma jefty's 22d, 76th,
and of the Honourable Company's European Regi-
ment, and of the ;It Battalion Bth Regiment Na-
tive Infantry, compofed the Itorming party. I have
hardly words to exprefs my fenfe of the condwfl of
this party, who, under a galling fire, on their flanks,
of cannon and mufketry trom the enemy's batteries
and trenches, and over broken and extremely ours-
vourable groond,rufhed on to the breach,and gained
poffeffion of the work, with a fpirit and ardour which
mull have enfured faeces whatever might have been
:he oppofition.
I feel myfeliunder the grcateß obligations to Lieu-
tenant Colonel Macßae, to whore condo& on th;s
occafion I attribute the ultimate fuccefs.of the-attack.
Lieutenant-Colonel BALL. who commanded the Ilk
Battalion Bth, Regiment Native Infantry, is eistitled
to the greateft praife for the attivity and fpirit be dif.
played in leading on his men ; and for the able RlR-
ance he rendered Colonel Macßae in the adolition of
fuch meafures as became afterwards neceffary, to (e-
-nure us in polfelfion of the place. It is with fincere
grief I add, that this valuable officer received a re-
vere, th9tigh, I truft, not dangerous wound, but
which will, I fear, deprive me of his fervices for
Come time. The conduit of Captain LINDSAY, of
his Majefly's 22d Regiment, has been reprefented
to me as highly meritorious; I lament to add, that
I this gallant Officer is likewife wounded. It is unne-
, ceffary for me to detail more fully the condo& of in-
dividuals on a fervice where merit has been, through.
out all ranks, fo eminently confpicuons ; but I feel
it my duty to draw your Lordlbip's attention to the
Cervices rendered by Lieutenant-Colonel HOSSFOILD,
commanding the Artillery, to whore profeffional
knowledge and aaivity throughout this liege, anal on
every other (Keaton, 1 feel infinitely indebted, as
well as-to the whole of that corps, for their folioed
and unremiued exertions. The officers of the En-
gineer department, Captain Roasarsoe and Lieut.
Serra, have peculiar merit, and are entitled to my
bell thanks and approbation. The Corps of Pioneers
ender the orders of Captain Stemma, command
my warmeft praife, for the chearfulnefs with which
they performed their laborious duties, and particu- •
larly for the alacrity they difplayed on the night of
the 23d intl. Too much credit cannot be bestowed
lon Captain Swim-roe, who on this and every former
eccafion has been moil zealous and aftive. I am Corry
I to add that this excellent officer is feverely wounded,
as is Lieutenant FORREST, of the fame corps, whole
condo& was equally meritorious. Your Lordfbip
will, I am confident, recerve much pleafure in learn-
i7 the highly exemplary condna of the three corps
o Britith cavalry in camp, the whole of whom vo-
lunteered their Cervices as working parties for the
trenches and batteries, and Rated very materially
in accelerating our operations againft this place—
they have received my fincere thanks for their exer-
tions, and for a zeal fo honourable to the Britith
charaaer.
I have the honour to enclofe returns of the killed
and wounded during the fiege, and on the night of
the affaule, with a return of the captured ordnance,
&c. The fugitives, compofed of the Rajah of Short-
pore's battalions and his gar, iron, with the remainder
of Jeswoor Ran HOI.IE/tit's infantry, appeared gene-
rally to have taken the direction of Bhurtpore. By
every information great numbers have derelict', and
I do not imagine they will again attempt to oppofe
u.. I hull move towards Phurtpore as loon as pot--
fible. Before I conclude this dirpatch, I beg leave
to mention to your Lordfhip the very rpirited con-
dud of Mr. MITCALT, of the Civil Service. He vo-
• nee icuers have not boa waived.
