We have ygient pleasure in laying before our
Readers the tollowiag interesting extracts from the
Calcutta Genseits, dated the t'al and 3d of May, 1815 :
We have extreme satisfactionin gnoluncing to
the pahlic that letters of excellent authority, datest
Ttetit:tirli the 211 ultimo, and received in town this
muling, communicate the agreeable intelligence of
the ent4e defeat of the Goorkha troops under Umr
Singh Kajee, by the division of the array com-
manded by General Ochterleny ; the day of this
bril:iaut affair is not mentioned. It would, however,
appear. ghat Umr Singh, straitened by the neer Ap-
proach of the British detachments, sallied from his
101 tifit-ci pouts between Malown and Sourujgort sod
att.icked• the besiegers in all direction:. Tile contest

roloded by Lient..C.A. Thompson, was at one period
critically situated ; but at length the enemy was com-
pletely beaten back at every point, le.aing several
hundreds killed and wounded on the held of battle:
Dining the engagement several bodies of our troops
penetrated to the eitem es lines, immediately under
the walls of the fort. The victory is expressly stated
to have been decisive, and such as must lead to the
immediate tall of Malown.

Ifwas not to be expected that such an advan-
tage could be gained without considerable loss, but
we are happy to learn, that the number of casualties
urn comparatively few. We lament to find that

" WEDNZDAY, WAY 3, 1815.

" Yesterday evening we bad the sincere satisfac-
tioe of communicaing to the public the agreeable
iniellieetite of the total defeat of the Goorkha forces
under Umr Singh Thappa, iti a general action be-
tween them aid the divisien of the army commanded
by General Ochteilony. We have since received a
concise report, written on the field of battle, which
we lose ac rime in laying heft re oar readers, having'
merely premised, that it is naturally neither so full
nor so accurate ah it would have been in less trying
c;rctimstarie.s. We were wiong in stating the action
to have begun by an attack. on the part of the enemy'.
it commenced in consequence. of a simultaneous
movement made by the British troops, with a view
of confining the enemy, and cutting off all otimmu-
nicaiien between Malown and the stockades, redoubts,
atei other fortified outposts. Oise of these columns,
comm "idea by Lieutenant-Coinnel Thomprin, was
attacked by the enemy immediately on reaching its
destination on the morning of the 15th ultimo. The
siruggla was kept up with unremitting vinlenee during
the whole of that day, and of the following night.
At length; after a desperate attack at break of day,
the courage of the gatlant detachment was-crowned
with perfect Sj.LCeS'. The enemy were entirely re.
pulsed about seven in the morning, leaving on the
field their CuMutander Iltightes, Thapa, Fleerda,
Singh Thappa, uncle•of Umr Singh and Gojceu
`Chapin, nephew of 131:ghtee •Singh. These, with
100 others, had been brought into Colonel Thomp-
son's stockade. Here 150 were likewise wounded :
our loss was also ?teem : Lieutenant Begot, of the
pioneure, was .mortally wounded, and died on the
morning of the 16th. Captain Geld, Adjutant Light
liaantry Battalien, was severely wounjed on the
15;11. Major Lawrie, 7th Native Infantry, and
Lieutenant Dalgairns, Sd Regiment Native Infan-
try, were slightly wounded on the 16th. Thirty se.
pop were killed, and 113 wounded. Captain Showers,
llith Native Infantry, was shot, at the head of his
column, with both his orderlies, after having cut
down the Sirdar opposed to him. Lieutenant Spel-
kw, 7th Native Infantry, was also severely wounded.
The loss in rank and file of this column was, 20
killed, and 61 wounded. In another column, com.
tuanded by Captain Bowyer, of the 19th Regiment
Vigils Infantry, oar loss wits only '2O in killed and
•wintiideal. Deserters rep tend, that when Bughtee
commenced the *neck, U.or Singh was only a few
yards distant from him, ant i that the assailants were
above two thousand in number, of whom tour hun.l
Area were foiled and wounded. A few of ceir
irrc-
gulars bad fallen. The termination of this affair WAS
Midi at might have been expected, from the united
efforts of brave troops, placing confidence in the
abilities of a prudent and able General. The blow
was meneeived to be fatal to the enemy, who was now
cooped up to his last hold, inue'l diminished in num-
bers, andafestitete of proviiimis. Our neiv post had
been much strengthened, and fresh reinforcements

ADDRESS OF THE PEERS TO THE KING.

(Corse&Agron. err last )
(In the hurry of putting to Press yesterday, the concluding
part of this document was given incorrectly. After the last en-
tire paragraph at the bo•tnm of the first column of the third
page, the Address should be read to the end as fellows :1

" The generous abandonment of a considerable
portion of pur personal revenue, that treasure of the
King, poured by his order into the treasure ofthe State;
and the example, followed, with so much ardour, by
your august family, will inflame all hearts with a
noble and patriotic emulation.
" Sire, we have recognized the beneficent intentions
which constantly actuate your Majesty, in the aug-
MCiltatiOn of the number of the Deputies of depart.
ments. We would lain hope, that each Deputy
would be an additional guarantee for the firm stabi-
lity and salutary union of the Royal power and tbc
national liberties.

66 All the Peers, Sire, feel the duties imposed on
them by the sacredness of their functions, together
with the honour of purr choice. Hereditary Coun-
sellors of the Crown, defenders from their birth of
the rights of the Prince, and the liberties of the peo-
ple ; supreme judges of the crimes which would
'threaten the safety of the Throne, and of the State,
tiiey will always be ready, Sire, as subjects to obey
you, as citizens to devote themselves to the welfare
of the country, as Peers of France, to strengthen the
royal prerogative with all the Powers which the two
Chambers shall judge necessary to dissipate factiops
and render the laws triumphant.
Lastly, Sire, that perfect confidence, with which
you have called vs round you, shall be, completely
justified. We shall constantly keep in view those fun-
damental bases, which he has recommended to us
never to lose sight of. Frank and sincere union of the
Chamber: with the /Gag: respect for the Constitutional
Gharter—thete words, which proceeded . from your
lips, shall alWays be our watchword.
" In the name of all Frenchmen, we swear at your
feet oblivion of internal divisions, and the sacrifice
of personal interests. We shall all press around
with one accord that tutelary throne which has be-
come the altar of the country.
66 We shall bring to it vows of love, and not ideas
of resentment : but we repose in perfect confidence
that your Majesty will always know to conciliate with
the benefits of your clemency the rights of justice,
and we dare humbly to solicit from your equity the
necessary retribution of rewards and punishments,
the execution of existing lakes, and the purity of
public administrations.
66 Sire, it is by following invariably this line of
conduct—it is by never deviating from that *funda-
mental law, which we derive from you, by observing
it as it stands, and by leaving the period of its im-
provement to him who has had the glory of its crea-
tion—it is, in a word, by now directing ill our atten-
tion to the important objects pointed 'our by your
Majesty, that is to say, by incessantly turning our
thoughts to our primary wants, that we shall find
means to repair our late calamities.
" Thus, with the support of RIMIGION, the first
basis of all human societies, with the aid of purified
manners, of liberty founded upon the laws, and
of credit re-established ; with the guarantee of
an army, re-composed upon the principles of
loyalty, which can not die in the hearts of French-
men, we shall restore to the throne and to the nation
the strength which ought to belong to them. Thus,
after having seen, last year, the Emperors and the
Kings of Europe assembled, accept for their sale
guarantee the moral character of your Majesty, we
shall offer you, Sire, a new guarantee to present to
them in the wise energy of a nation, %Zilch renounces
the mischievous ambition of being feared, but,which
cherishes the firm resolution of impressin:; around
her, in concert with her 4oveteign, the respect Always
due to Ler rights, and the contiJence hen‘cluttli due
to her principles."
