—The enemy:hiving received information from his
hircarrahs of theapproach of the Britifh troops, wit,
prepared for flight, stheit
.Lord Lake reached his
camp. The enemy, however, fuffered (nine 104 in
his retreat 'from the fire of the eolomp of infantry',
and notwitliftanding the rapidity of his flight,- It
charge was effeqcd by the Cavalry,, in which
ab6itt two hundred of the.enemy were deftreye. A
quantity of baggage and cattle,,coofiffing chiefly of
about fifty camels, one hundred .borfes, two -ele-
,
phants, and twenty hackeries, was captured by the
Bri.ifli troops. Lord Lalh.e, after phtfuingthe ene-
my to a coalislerable diflance, returned to camp it
eleven o'clock in the Came morning. • •• •
On the tft of April Lord Lake rietived intelli-
gence that Jefwunt Rao Holkar, havingretiredto a
greater diflance from the Britifh army, had aftem-
bled:the greater part of his trops and baggage at a
patriot' eight cots from Bhurtpt4e, in the diredion
of Futtypore. Lord Lake,' in the expeCtatibn that
the vlgilarice of the enemy would be diminilhed hi
confequence of the dillance to which he had remov-
ed, determined to attempt to furprize his CkMp.,His
Lordfhip accordingly marched at one o'clock on the
morning of the id April, with the.wholF the
cavalry, the borfe artillery, and the riferve of th;
army, and arrived in the.heighbotirliood otjefront
Ran Holkar's camp before the dawn of day 4-.Jef,
wont Rao Holkar bad receiied.intelligenee of Lord
Lake's approach about two hours before his Lordfhipj
had reached t'..re vicinity of his ceini and bad fent
off a part of baggage. The enemy was polled'
inuzd a high village,
,with his front covered by bet?
tivated &ids, fur roundedby high inclofuses. It was.
frill dat k, but the fires of the enemy enabled
Lake to Make his clifpofitien for the attaci withotie
waiting for day-light.

The cavalry, formed in two lines, livered round id'
the right, whiltt the refer,* and the hoileaktilletirg.
under Lieut. Col. Don, was ordered to- gain the kit,
of the village with as much expedition as potble.--.
The cavalry advanced at a trot, and when arrt
within a thort difiance of the eneiny, the right
drons of each regiment in the firft line Were Ordered
to charge, fupported by the remaining fquadrons,aild
by the fecond line. The enemy, on teeing the ad-
vance.of the Britifh troops, made every poMble
tion to efcape, but was charged with fitccefs in vart:
ous directions, and coffered great lofs. The Britifit
cavalry continued the purfuit to a very confiderable
Jitiance, and did not defift till the enemy was entire-
!y dirperfed. The enemy is Lid to have loft upwards
f t ego men cn this occafion.
iTpon the return of Lord Lake to camp, a body
of infaritry, with colours, was ofeerved mooing in
the &ration of the Jingle which furrounds the town
of Bhurtpore. This body of infantry was immedi-
:ttely charged by a fquadron of his Majelly's Bth
Dragoons, under Colonel Vandeleur. Upon the ap-
prcach of the fquadrtn, and after, a few of the ene-
my had been cut down, the remainder threw down
their arms, and were made prifoners. The colours
of this corps were captured, and it proved to be a
body of Meer Khan's infantry, which, having quit-
',!:l that Chief, was proceeding to offer its Cervices to
R.:nieet Sing.
Lord LAsE returned to camp at one P. M. after

A detachment, comporedof the IR battalioa of the
asin Native Regiment, fix companies of: the. 24th
Native Regiment, Regiment, one battalion of irregular infantry,
and the Agra irregular horfe, the whole:torn:inutile:l
by Captain Roy LE, parched from Agra pn the z6th
of March to diflodge Hernaut, the Chelah of Jef-
wont Itao Holkar, who, with the remains of Hol-
kat'slnfantry and guns, and a body of. Holkar's ca-
valry,
.undo; Bapoojee, had occupied a political be-
tween Bbaree and Dholpore. • Captain Royza's de-
tachment, after a March of twelve cots, came up
with the cavalry of the enemy under.Bapoojee on the
jta March, and fucgefded in completely ,defeating
this corps. On the 6th of April, Captain Roves re-
ceived information that the principal body of the ene-
my, of which he was in purfuit, had taken up a
Inrong pornion under the walls of the fortified Own
of Adawlut Nagger. . this body of enemy con-
fined of•between three.and four thdufand men, ea-
ralry and infantry, and three guns. Capt. Rotes
arrived at Adawiut Nugger at eight o'clock on the
morning of the 7th of April, and found the enemy
advintageonflY polled, having the fort. of Adavdut
Nagger in bas rear, and his front and. flanks cover-
jedly the deep ravitlesi occupied by troops. •
Captain Rovzs, with great (pint and idgineof,
immediately formed his deocbment . for the .attaik,
and advancing under a very beery and .well direaed
'fire from the enemy's artillery, and from • his troops
Rationed is the Ravines, compelled the enemy v.
abandon his guns,. and to retreat with the lot** of all
:his artillery and baggage. The Agra Horfe, under
'Colonel Pon 'rake, purfued the fugitive*, to the dif-
tante of five cots from Aclawlut Nagger, and kil-
led greatnumbets of them. On this occaflon• were
alto captured upwards or twenty .Ikands; or colours,
and a great number of mufquets, .of European
manufaaure, match locks, (pikes, &c.. &c. The
;tondo& of the troops in this aaiod was highly exedt-
,plary, and efpetially that of the newly railed batta-
lions of the 2.1. th and zsth Regiments of Native
In-
fantry, which had not been embodied for more than
a period of five months. • •

encampment before Bhurtpore on the 9th of. Aril,
and backup his final pofition for the attack- The re-

peace,
.on the lith Pabroary, and to offer terms,
which after tome negotiation, were with Pertain mo-
difications, accepted by Lord Lace, under the au-

The attitity of Sir Ebw. Patter" is likely; before
long, to (weep put of the Indian Ocean that piratical
marine which has given fuch ferious Intetrupdoit to
our commerce in that quarter of the globe. He failed
on a cruile frost Bombay on the sigh April, with the
CUL LODRIPIt MARAS/ IS CORDWALLI3,Sir EDW.HUGHIS,
LORD Duncmt, and Emu. Howe. The two were
purchafed by Sir Eoweato, and fitted ant as frigates,
in the fhort (pace of fix weeks. The eiertions of this
gallant and indefatigable officer have given a confi•
deuce and fpirit to commercial enterprife, which the
too fuccellful career of the canny M that fea had"
very much impeded..
