♦DDITIONAL SUPPLEmPN r TO THE CALCUTTA

FOILT WILLIAM, Just at, 11104„—His Excellen-
cy the Mott Noble the Governor General has re-
ceived a difpatch from his Excellency the Comman-
der ;n Chief, dated the 18th of May, tBo4, of
which the following Copy is pabliihed, for general
intormation

To his Excellency the Moll Noble the Marquis Well.lley, Gayer.
tor Ofisaal.bts.

My Lord—Your Lorcahip will have already been
informed of the fuccefs of as *fault made by the
detachment from the army under Lieutenant Colonel
Dow on the fort of Rampoora, the t6th inftant. I
have the honour. for your Lordfbip's information. to
tranfmit Lieutenant Colonel Dow's detailed report
to that effe&

It is necetfary for me to call your Lordfhip's at-
tention to the fpirited and judicious conduit of Lieut.
Colonel Don in planning and leading the afrault, and
the truly meritorious and gallant conduit manifeßed
by the whole of the officers and men of the detach-
ment in carrying the fort.
This fervice has been performed in the molt exem-
plary Ryle, and races the highelt honour on the
troops engaged, both cavalry and infantry, who be-
haved in the mat Ready and gallant manner.
The high Cede •I entertain of their conduit, I
have endeavoured to exprefs in my orders of this
date, and particularly that of the sd Battalion, st R
Regiment, a young corps, embodied but a few
months, and who could only have bees brought to
their prefent advanced Rate of difeipline by the on-
:emitted exertions of their Commanding Officer, Ma-
jor Wane.
In offering your Lordihip my cordial congratula-
tions on the acquifition of this important fortrefs,
which puts us in ifbffeffion of the whole of the ter-
ritories of jefwunt Rao Holkar, on this fide of In-
dia, I cannot conclude without recommending
Lieutenant Colonel Don to your Lordfhip's favour-
able notice, to whofe fervices I feel myfeli infinitely
indebted.

Lieutenant Colonel Dow (peaks in high terms of
the fervice he derived from the Artillery, under the
orders of Capt. RAM and Lieut. Hari the meri-
tnrious conchs& of this corps, on all occafions, I have
frequently bad the honour to notice to your Lord-
thip ; in this initance their condua appears to have
been eminently confpicuous for gallantry and fix-
ceftful exertion, and particularly in the perfon of
Sctjeant 041,m/oaten, who had charge of the ta•
pounder that forced the gates, and evinced, in that
fituatinn, the true charaaer of a Britiffi foldier, and
will, I troll, meet your Excellency's approbation
and proteaion.
The sd Regiment of Native Cavalry, under the
Command of Major DOVITON, on this occafion, fup-
ported that high charaaer for ileadinefs and bravery.
which they have had frequent opportunities of ac-
quiring and confirming in various inilances wliere
they have been engaged.
The benefit derived to the fervice from the advice
he received from Captain WOOD, of the Engineers,
Lieutenant Colonel Dor acknowledges with grati-
tude. 1 have, in various inflames, during the cam-
paign, bad opportunities of remarking the zealous
exertions, ability, and aaivity, of that Officer on
every occafion, and I derive infinite fatisfaaion from
having it again in my power to bear teliimony to his
merit. I have the honour to be, my Lord, your
Lordfltip's ma faithful and humble fervent,
(Signed) o. Lax s.
Head-quarters, Camp. Jcilai, May at, 1344.

To Lieutenant Colonel G , Adjutant General.
Sir—Yefterday I did myfelf the plrafure of com-
municating to you, for the information of his Excel-
lency the Commander in Chief. that I bad carried
into execution the plan of attack which.l had formed
for the reduflion of Rampoora, and that it had foe-
eeeded b.y,nd my expeBations, in fo far that my
lots is infiuitely lets than what I feared it might have
been.
It gives me infinite fatisfaftion to (late, that not
one of my Officers employed on the affault has been
wounded ; and, confidering the nature of the fervice,
much as I regret my lots of natives, yet I do think it
lets than what might have been looked for. This I
principally attribute to the attack commencing fome-
what before day-break, when the enemy could not
difcriminate the Officers, and indeed could hardly
diftinguillt my column, at the tame time that it was
fafficiently light for my purp4.fe.
Inftead oftaking up a pofition on the fide of the
fort towards which the principal entrance is fituated,
as I at firll intended, I continued to occupy my ori.
ginal ground of encampment, as the garrifon might
have been induced to barricade the gateways, which
I had determined to attack, by my moving in that
• direlion. And, yefterday morning, at two o'clock,
I marched with the flank companies, and four bat-
talion companies of the sd battalion Bth, and the
flank companies of the sd battalion 21a regiments,
which, with one 12-pounder at the head of the co-
lumn for blowing open the gates, and another in the
rear, to keep in check any of the battalions that came
from Tonk, and which were moftly potted outfide
tl.c fort, formed the affaulting party. Capt. Rasa'
v,i;tl one ta and four 6-pounders, and three batta-
Lompanies of the ad battalion, rill regiment,
st:lowed i.i the rear of the party, to within a certain
cliaance of the fort, and wok poft in a fit nation pro-
per to enable him to fire upon any part of the woiks,
from which the enemy might appear to annoy us.
Another great inducement that I had, to occupy
a pofition oppofite to the grand gateway, and there.
by alarming the enemy, was to move down in Once
at once to the fort, and cut off the means of com-
munication betwixt it and the Tonk battalion, pofled
at tome little diftance to the right of the fiat gate.
Confident that I would fucceed in this part of my
plan, my inftrations to Major DovaTos were cal-
culated accordingly. His regiment was left in camp,
ready to mount as loon as he heard the attack eom-

mem. and to move down In that &realms, which
the fugitives would neeelfarily be obliged to take,
and which 1 had pointed oat to him the preceding
evening.
I moved with the detachment undifcovered, until
I. arrived within sso or goo yards of the gateway,
when a piquet of the Tonk Battalion on my right
fired upon ns ; but, as it did not immediately alarm
the garrifon, I continued moving on without tainkg
the fmalleß notice of them.

After having advanced to within too or tan yards
of the patsy, the garrifon commenced a (*mart fire
front the ramparts, and, at the fame time, I perceiv-
ed a number of the battalion running along the top
of the glacis, endeavouring to gain the gateway, up-
on whom I opened a heavy fire of nuditetry, and de.
feated their purple, as well on the men who
occupied the rampart. I proceeded on to the firli
gate, and ble -11, it open, continuing my fire of mullte•
try on the works, and diflodging the people who oc
cupied them.
The fecond gate was not (hut, being out of repair.
The third and fourth gates were alto blown open,
when I entered the town, and, having ordered par.
ties to fecure the ramparts, I ponied on to a fmall
gateway on the fouth fide of the fort, through which
the enemy were making their efcape, and, on gaining
the ramparts, I kept up a fire upon the fugitives,
driving them from the ditch, and forcing them to the
Plains where I law Major Dora TON attacking them
in all quarters.
The Nudjeeb battalion fled in the direeion I ex-
petted, and met with the fame reception as their
brother fugitives from the fort, from the sd regiment
of cavalry.
Enclofed I have the honour to tranfmit, for the
purpofe of being laid before his Excellency the Com-
mander in Chief, a return of the killed and wounded
of that part of the detachment employed yellerday
morning. From this, his Excellency will perceive,
that the lots of men and bodes in the cavalry has
been confiderable, from the very obtlinate refinance
of the enemy, who perfifted in refuting quarter, on
condition of laying down their arms. I have alto
the honour to enclofe a return of the guns found in
the fort ; and Captain Rama being now employed
in examining a magazine, containing a confideriitble
quantity of gun powder, (hot, &c, as loon 4s that is
completed, a return of them &all be immediately for-
warded.

From every information I have received, the ene-
my's Rrength was from moo to t too fighting men.
Of thefe there were from 4o to so killed, and many
wounded on the works in palling through the gate-
ways, and in the town, during my approach, and on
my arrival on the fouthern fide.
Major Dovarotes report of thofe killed and
wounded by the 3d regiment of cavalry Rates them
to be 350 to 400._ .

On jetting• poffeffion of Rampoora, I found the
ramparts to be much thicker than Rated in a former
letter. In fome parts they are forty feet thick, and
none left than eighteen or twenty.
Lieutenant SMITH having been dirated to make a
(ketch of the fort, and to take rations in different
place., I !ball add nothing. more on that fubjea, ex-
cept that Capt.Woon has given directions for the re-
pairs of the gates, and for fome other little alterations
to be done by his own people. &fides the military
Bores, there are a very quantity of grain, and
a few bullocks of public property, in the fort. Thefe
I have ordered to be fecured ; and I have likewife
done every thing in my power for the proteaion of
the inhabitants, with whole houfes the fort is full.—
For fnme time they were exceedingly alarmed; but
I am happy to obferve. this morning, a confiderable
degree of confidence, and which it will be my duty
to augment.
Having thus detailed the whole of my proceed-
ing., for the information of his Excellency the Com-
mander in Chief. I now come to what I confider not
only as a part of my duty, but to me a very pleafmg
one indeed, and that is, to acquaint you, that the
cuudua and behaviour of every individual employed
ycilerday morning, were fuch as to merit m molt
hearty approbation and thanks. Nothing could pof-
fibly have furpaffed it. and in that light I beg you
will reprefent it to the Commander in Chief.
I feel rayfelf, in a particular manner, indebted to
Captain Resew, of the artillery, and CaptainWoon
of the engineers, for their ready co-operation and ad-
vice, during the whole of the fervice. Lieutenant
Hay. of the artillery, is fully entitled to my notice,
fov the effeaual manner in which he direaed the fire
of the t 2-pounders in the rear of the column; as like.
wife is my Adjutant, Lieutenant Massy. for his ati-
vity in conveying my orders. To the whole of the
commiffioned, non-commiffioned officers and privates.
Europeans and natives, belonging to the ordnance
department, my belt thanks are molt fully due.
1 beg you will likewife Rate to his Excellency, that
the precition, gallantry, and aaivity, with which
my iuftruitions to Major Dovarow were carried into
effe.fl by the 3d Regiment of Cavalry, raft% the
higheft credit on the whole of this valuable corps--r
the only thing I have to lament, is the heavy lofs
they have fultained.
The European Cemmiffioned Officers of the Na-
tive Infantry, from the able manner in which they
commanded their refpeaive divifions, were not lets
entitled to my warmeft encomiums than the Native
Commiffioned, Non-commiffioned Officers, and pri.
vates are, for their attention and implicit obedience
obferved by them throughout the whole of the at-
tack. In there terms I beg leave to reprefent the
behaviour of the companies of the Bth and asth Re-
giments, and, you may confidently affirm Mil Ex-
cellency, that no troops whatever would have be-
haved better in a (insular (striation.

I have only further to add, that nothing could be
better managed, or more gallantly performed, than
the blowing open the gates of Rampoora, by Ser.
jeant CPLAOOI4 Lan. and the parry of European Ar-
tillery attached to the leading is-pounder.

" Gentlemen Deputies from the Departments to

the King of England, I made a facrifice of the molt
dutiful fentiments, and the pareft motives. I was
influenced by a define to (pare the blood of my peo-
ple. I (hall always be ready to make the fame Cacti-
flees. My fame, my happinefst I have placed in the
welfare of the prefent generation. I was defirous,
as far as lay in my power, to render philanthropic
and magnanimous ideas the prevalent ones of the
prefent age. It belongs to me, in whom there fend-
meats cannot be aferibed to weaknefs ; it belongs to
us, to the bell natured, the monenlightened, and mat
benevolent people, to remind the nations of Lurope,
that they make together but one family, and thzt
every undertaking which they execute in their civil
divifions militates again& the general welfare. Gen
flown, Deputies of the Leidative Body, I depend
upon your affiftance, as well as upon the valour of
myarmy."

A Deputation of the Tribunate prefented alto an
Addrefs, to which BowAPArrit replied as follows;
44 Gentlemen Members of the Tribunate—The
prefent generation has need of happinefs and repofe,
and victory is obtained only by the blood of the peo-
ple. The happinefs of mine is my firit duty, aslit is
my firit thought.
I entertain a lively fenfe of every thing you have
laid to me. The fweeteft reward to me of all the
good I can have done, will always be the union and
love of this great people."

Baum: os raw Mira, Fas s.—We are inform-

lathe to the immediate conclofion of a treaty of alli-
ance between Sweden and England, in confequence
of which a body of Swedifh troops, fubfidized by
Great Britain, are to be fent to that country, have

Ottoman Minifters have got into circulation. Marlhal
Baum', previous to his departure, is faid to have de.
livered a copy of the note communicated by M. Tat-
LItYIAND to Halet Effendi, the Ambaffador of the
Porte at Paris. This note erpreffes much afionith-
ment that the Porte had refilled to acknowledge the
Emperor Narotsom, confidering that France had
been from time immemorial the faithful friend and
ally of the Ottoman Emperor. The caufes which
have occafioned this refufal are fubfequently detail.
ed. It is alerted that a faition ezifts in the Turkifh
Government, the views and condua of which were
dirsaly in oppofition to the intereas of the Porte ;
that this facition had conflantly evaded all the advan-
tageous propofals which had been made on the part
of France, and that it had endeavoured to form an
intimate connexion between the Porte and a certain
Power. It concludes by advancing that the prefent
conduit of the Porte but ill accord, with that pride
which has invariably charateriaed her ; fince far

This appearance occafioned an extraordinary fenfa-

French Minifier at Naples. The Ruffians, however,
appeared to have no very urgent bufinefs at Naples,
