Mr Loan—l have the fitisiaelion to tranfmit, for
ynur Lordthip's information, f"PY of a &Patch h
Major-General Smith, announcing his complete fuc
cefS in an attack On Meer Khan's force near the town
Of Ufzulghur on the ad iAllaut. The indefatigable
pertiverance of Major General Smith, in his purfuit
of the enemy Rote he firil crofts 4 the Jumna, entitles
that Officer to' my heft thanks and approbati'm, and
his mode of concluffing the attack nn the ad inherit,
under circur9ltattees of peculiar difficulty, and after
a very long march, 'mull ever refied on him tfie
highest credit. • The cavalry appear on this ferrite
to have maintained, its an eminent degree, that high
chara&er for intrepidity and 'difciplinc, which they
have fo fuccefsfully displayed on every former oc.
cation, and the condo& of both officers and men
has been reprefented to me, by Major. General Smith,
as highly meritorious. Your Lordthip will perceive,
with much fatisfattinn, that our lofs on this occasion
has not been heavy, and that tic wounded officers
are likely to do well.

I have the honour to be, my Lord,
YourLordatip's mot} faithful bumble fervent,

To hii Excellency General LA r, Commander in Chief, Ste.
Sta—rhave the honour to inf;rm yiiu, that on
our nierch yeaerday morning in purfuit of Meer
Khan, I received intelligence that he and his whole
force was encamped at Ufzulghur. I left the bag.:
gage of the detachment at Sherlcot, 'with the rear,
guard and the 3d regiment native cavalry, with its
galloper guns, under the command. of 'Major 'Dove:
tun, for its protection, and with the remainder of the
force under my command, moved on to Ufzulgtmr.
Atter a march of fourteen cofs we came in fight
the enemy it two P. M. They were drawn up in
order of battle, and prepared to receive us. The
detachment having forded a river in the face of the,
enemy, were ftirmed into two lines. The advanced
guard under the command of Captain Philpor; was,
intended for:the protection of-the right, and the irre-
gular horfe under Mr. Skinner, fur the protection of
the left flanks. As our army altranced, the enetni
advanced alto: Two tiodies of cavalry, one led by
Meer Khan, and the other by Shuhamut Khan, at-
tempted to penetrate our Banks, but' were repulfect
with lots; A body of Alee•Gholes moved on in a very.
daring 'manner upon our line ; they were charged by
a fquadroil of his Majetly's Bth Light Dragoons, and
a fquadron of his Majelty's 27th Light Dragoons, and
were completely deftroyed. After the deitruCtion of
the infantry, the cavalry of the enemy fled in every
direction. They were plaited beyond the town of
Ufzulghur. The enemy's baggage had been fen*
off in the morning, when fiat they received intelli-
gence of our approach ; their flight was therefore
unincumbered, and the fatigue which our bodes
had fullained, the late hunt of the day, and the na-
ture of the country, prevented a farther .purruit.
—Above thirty of the enemy's colours felt inter nut
hands, among the number are two golden standards,
which were carried by the Yekus, a body of chofeti
men attached to the peifon of Meer Khan. Three
of Meer Nhan's principal lirdars, Muhumed Sauzed
Khan, Juinther Khan, and Moortuza Khan, were
killed ; his brother, Shuhamot Chan, and Ruhmut
Khan, one of his principal &dims, are (Lotted to have
been wounded; Ghobsm Ulee Khan, a principal
firdar, was wounded, and is now in our camp ; Wet
Khan himlelt efcaped, but the belt and brava of
his troops (offered. I feel infinitely indebted to the
whole of the officers and men under my command,
foe their gallant, heady, and praile-worthy conduct.
I have the honour to enclofe a return of our lois.=
The wounds received by the officers, are, I am forty
to fay, fevere, but I ti tilt not dangerous. I (hag
continue to purfue the enemy in whatever direatutl
they may proceed. 1 have the honour to be, Sir,
Your Excellency's moll r+edient humble fervent.

Sir—l have the honour to acquaint you, for th;
information cf his Excellency the Lt minan.!tr in
Chief, that I matched from Ra t.p ).na cn the 2n.

and a ditch, the gates built up, a d

defended; the garrifon confided of three I,undred men.
One hundred and fixty Sepoys, wilt, two 6 p ,tunders
and two howitzers, compoled our little de achment;
but I found the guns would make no in pn.thon, nor
the howitzers compel them to furrender. On the
74th arrived two i 2.pountiers, and by the evening,
the breach appeared practicable, And I n.'w matched
the dorming party to the ditch : I prefer delaying
the of ault till the morning ; however, in tl.e course of
the night, the garrifon got off by lowering them-
(elves down by a rope; it then aprared the breach
was pratlicable, though rather difficult. On the 25th
intl. the detachment marched to Curt twal, a large
walled town, with a number of tuitions, four fara4
guns, eleven hundred men, and numerous inhabitant::
