Sir..-Aftcr I had croircd the Malpurba at fella.
hall, I marched on the 3d infant, and entered
the Nizam's territories at Haramfagur on the
sth.—As Col. STivst4 sow was obliged to crnfs the
Malpurba in boats, he was not able to advance
from that river till the 4th. It appeared to me
probable, that whcn DHOONDIA should be prefred
by the whole of our force on the Northern fide of
the Dooal, he would return into Savanore by Ra-
magherry and Kopul, and would thus-impede our
communication ; or, if favoured by the Potans of
Canaoul, and the Poligars on the right bank of
the Tumbudra, he would pals that river and
would enter the territories of the Rajah of the
Myfore. I therefore determined to bring my de-
tachment to the Southward, and to prevent the
execution of either of thole deigns, if he had
them, and afterwards. to pufh him to the Ea&

ward, and to take fuch advantage of his move-
ment as I might be able, while col. STEVENSON
fhonld move by Moodgtd and Noofby, at the dif-
tance of between ten and twenty miles from the
Kiftna, and the Mahratta and Mogul Cavalry
colleited in one body between his Corps and mine.
I arrived at Kannagherry on the 7th, and on
the Bth moved with the Cavalry to Bafwapoar ;
and on the 9th to this place : the Infantry being
on thole days at Howly and Shinnoor, about 15
miles in my rear. On the 9th in the morning,
DNOONDIA moved from Malghery, a place about
25 miles from Rachoor, at which he had been en-
camped for tome days, towards the Kifina ; but
on his road having Peen Colonel STEVENSON'S camp,
he returned and encamped about nine miles in my
front, between me and Bannoo. It was clear that
he did not know that I was fo near him, and I have

reafon to know, that he believed that I was at

Shinnaor.
I moved forward this morning, and met his ar-
my at a place called Conahgall, about fix miles
from hence. He was on his march, and to the
Wefiward, apparently with the defign of palling
between the Mahratta and Mogul Cavalry, and
my detachment, which he fuppofed to be at Shin•
noor. He had only a large body of Cavalry, ap•
parently sOOO, which I immediately attacked with
the istth and zsth Dragoons, and ill and ad re-
giments of Cavalry.
The enemy was flmngly, pofled, with his rear
and left flank covered by the village and rock of
Canakguil, and flood for tome time with appa-
rent firmnefs• but fuch was the rapidity and de-
termination of the charge made by thole four re-
giments, which I was obliged to form in one line,
in order at all to equalize in length that of the
enemy, that the whole gave way, and were pur-
fued by my Cavalry for many miles. Many,
among others DHOONDIA WANG, were killed, and
the whole body difperfed, and were fcattered in
fmall parties over the face of the country.
Part of the enemy's baggage was Hill remaining
in his camp about three miles from Conahgul: I
returned thither, and got pofreffion of Elephants,
Camels, and every thing hr had.
The complete defeat and difperfion of the ene-
my's force, and above all the Death of DHOONDIA
WANG, puts an end to this warfare; and I cannot
avoid taking this opportunity of expreffing my
fenfe of the conduft of the Troops. Upon this laft
occafion their determined valour and difcipline
were confpicuous ; and their conduit, and that of
their commanding officers Colonel Pavia, Major
PATTERSON, Major BLAVIERS, Captain DOVE.
Tom, and Captain PRICE, have deferved my moil
particular approbation. At the fame time I mull
inform you that all the troops have undergone,
with the &remelt patience and perfeverance, a
(cries of fatiguing Cervices.
It is 21(0 proper that I fhould inform you how
much reafon I have to be pleafed with the Gentle-
men charged with the bufinefs of procuring fup-
plies for the Troops; notwithftanding the &fiance
of the fcene of my operations from the ufual
retirees of rupplies, and rapidity of my marches,
and the neceffity, from the fpecies of warfare
carried on, of perpetually altering their direftion,
I have always been well fupplied•with every thing
which the troops could want.
The Mahratta and Mogul Cavalry are now em-
ployed in the purfuit of the fugitives, and I pro.
pore to draw off towards the frontier of the Rajah
~f Myfore in a few days. I have the honour to
bc, Sir, your molt obedient humble fervant,

Camp at Yepalperrry, September :3, tko.
Sir—l have the pleafure to inform you that I
have this day received a report from Colonel SI'S.
vas sow of his proceedings on the loth inftatit, by
which it appears' that near Deodroog, he came up
with and took the only two remaining guns the
enemy had, a quantity of baggage, camels, bul-
locks, brenjaries, &c. and that he difperfed and
threw the whole into confufion. Their objeCt had
been to pars the Kiftna, and to go to Solapour,
the guns belonged to the Solapour Poligar, and
w,:re defrayed in his country, and ColonelS
SON found his people employed on the Kiftiut,• in
giving Alliance to the baggage to pals the River.
Thus tl•e terviee, upon which the troops have been
employed, has been completely performed.
I attribute the opportunity which was given of
deftroying the enemy's army to the movements of
the detachment under Colonel S N : in no
pare of the army has there been greater exertion,
or more fatigue, or has it been more chearfully
borne; and feonceive Colonel S a, Lieu-
' tenet-Colonel Dowse'. and the officers and troops
under their orders, to be entitled to my approba-
tion, and to the favourable report of their mutat.
which I now make you.• I have the lihnour to be,
Ste, your molt obedient humble ferr.mt,
