under my command, on board the boats of his Majesty's
ship Liffey, commanded by Lieutenant Wilkinson, of
the Royal Navy, having four row-boats for the convey-
ance of the soldiers, for the purpose of dislodging the
enemy from the village of Killyumdine and the adja-
cent villages.
Agreeably to my instructions, I landed the troops at
a small village about a mile from Killyumdine, where
I observed a party of the enemy had stockaded them-
selves, and immediately attacked their position, which
I carried, after exchanging a few rounds and killing
ten or.twelve of the enemy.
I then endeavoured to penetrate the jungle towards
the village of Killyumdine, far the purpose of assailing
it by the rear, while thLboats attacked it in the front,
but I regret to say that I found the jungles so imper-
vious as to prevent me from executing this part of my
instructions.
I therefore re-embarked my detachment, asd pro-
ceeded in the boats.
On approaching a point higher up, intending to land,
- we found ourselves suddenly exposed to a heavy 'fire
from a stockade, till then unobserved, and as any at-
tempt to retire would have exposed the detachment to
certain destruction, and would have given encourage-
ment to the enemy, which I felt convinced you would
have highly disapproved of, Lieutenant Wilkinson,R.N.
and myself resolved upon immediately landing and
storming the sttackade.
We had many unforeseen difficulties to overcome, the
enemy having placed bamboos and pikes so as to make
landing both difficult and dangerous.
Nothing however could withstand the gallantry and
determination of both soldiers and sailors, who shortly
established themselves within the stockade, defended by
about four hundred men, who were quickly driven out
4.! the point of the bayonet, leaving sixty dead. _
The enemy were well armed. a great proportion
having muskets; and a small field-piece was taken in
the stockade, and I must do them the justice to say that
they fought with very great spirit, many of them re-
ceiving our charge with their spears.
I again re embarked my patty and proceeded to the
oppo.ite side of the river, where we drove the enemy
from a third stockade, which we destroyed in the same
manner as we had done the twciformer.
In concluding, I regret to state, that Lieutenant
Thomas Kerr, of hi; Majesty's 38th Regiment, and one
private was killed, and nine privates wounded, in taking
the second stockade ; and I have further to regret, that
Lieutenant Wilkinson, of the Royal Navy, was severely
wounded through the thigh, with eight or nine of his
crew, one of which has had his arm subsequently am-
putated. I have much satisfaction in reporting the
conduct of the Officers and men under my command,
to have been steady and soldier-like. I hope I may be
allowed to express the highest admiration of the cool
and intrepid conduct of Lieutenant Wilkinson, Royal
Navy. who, although severely wounded, continued to
render me the greatest assistance in giving ,directions
from his boat, also of the Officers and men under his
command. I have, &c.

COPY OF A DISPATCH FROM BRIGADIER-GENERAL SIR
ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, K.C.B. TO GEORGE SWINTON,
ESQ. SECRETARY TO THE BENGAL GOVERNMENT,
DATED RANGOON, IST JUNE, 1824.
SlR—Herewith I have the honour of transmitting
you a return of the ordnance captured at this place on
the I 1 th ultimo, including ten small pieces brought
from Negraic. The strength of the enemy in this arm,
so far exceeding anything reported, is now I conceive
very much crippled, as in the different encounters we
have since had, nothing larger than gingals, or small
pieces, have been found with them.—l ha e,
v &c.
