My last transmission of diliattliet from the officer commanding
the troops in the Dhoti!' announced the evacuation of the Fort of
Kalunga on the moron.: of the 30th .it.
l'he garrison is now known to have suffered most severely
from the fire of the British artillery, and particularly from the
'belie thrown from the mortars. 'the place was found crowded
with dead and wounded the enemy was unable to carry off in his
precipitate flight, during the course of which blowhole numb, ra
were, with a very limited exception, either killed, wounded,, or
taken prisoners, by the act•vi•y and gallantry of the different
detachments, which had been very judiciously placed by Colonel
Mawby, to intercept his retreat**.
fiiiibudder Sing, the Killedar, effected his escape with about
70 followers, with whom he took post on a bill, at some distance
from the British ramp, where be was joined by 300 Goorkaha,
intended as a ieinforcement•for the garrison of Kalunga, and who
batibeen several days seen hovering in the mountains. Colonel
Mawby determined to dislodge them from.this position, and se-
lected Major Ludlow for the cont;..ci. of Lois service, which was
most ably and saccessfnly accomplished by that officer.
The conduct of Major Ludlow deserves, fit the opinion of the
CoMmander in Chief, to be brought to the particular notice of
his Lordship, not only as distinguished to this affair, but through-
out the whole of the service in the Dhoon : at the arduous and
unfortunate commencement of it, his gallantry and exertions
were most conspicuous, and, it is known, attracted the applause
of the illurtriousCommander, who fell, on that laniented occa•
sion. Sioce that prtioa Maim Ludlow has been employed on
every service of difficulty and danger that has occurred, and in•
varahly conducted himself with eminent courage, judgment,
and zeal.

The Officers who served under Major Ludlow in the attack of
Bulbudeler suite* position are also entitled to paro;cular notice
aid c;retneetiatititi ; and his Excellency aceordiegly begs Irave
ta name the following Officers, as deserving to be honoured with
the approbation of Government ;—Captaiu Backe. comninneling
tie light battalion, in the abiener of Major Wilson; Fnegns
Wilson, Richmond. and Turner, dote& they with that battalion.
't he solemn: and difficult nature of the service. tfie latiguee and
priratitine v' ..p. had fer some time undergone, and the
s:rength of the enemy's posiiien. demanded exemplary exertions
of &entity, seal, and Fersonal tw Avery from the „European Ca-
me ; and they appear to have been made on this occasi :::: with
spirit end alacrity becoming noose id:boars.
It w:II be satisfactory co the Goveronient to observe, that in
this tercontre. (the Beet which has taken plate betwee.i the Se-
ws and the Goorbah troops shy.e the resistance of
tile latter from the walls of their forte) u, :r na•ive infantry, mo-
rtared by the examph; aid under the guidance of their 'European

Dr L 1., K. C B. dist ed Camp, at Nahun,December a 7, 1814.
It is with unfeigned regret, that 'leave to repent to you, for
the information of the tight Hon. the Commander in Chief, the
t.ailare attack made this morning on a stockade, about a
Ed.e west of the tort of Jumpta, and which was planned with
Li e double view of dispossess ag, the enemy of a steongerwittaas
and rutting olf their em ply of water, which it commanded.
I.romaaery information I posseesed,togetber with what Major
Ludlow. who commatidcd at Islahuu irons the 204 lnsjnt, laid

teen slits to elosin, eel the otintotot)ocel teewleclite of Major
Richard;, I formed the titian of a combined attack. One colunto
was commanded by Major Ludlow, who was directed to proceed
te the left of the fort, whilst Major Richards, with another co-
lumn, was to make a detour to the right, and take up a position
on the other side of the fort, by which means I had every expec
'teflon of completely depriving the enemy of their watering place*
The columns I made so strong as to be ample fur the object in
view ; and I deriie time satisfaction from the awurances, that
both Majors Ludlow and Richards thought them sufficient.
It-was calculattil that bath columns should march so as to reach
their respective points sit attack considerably before day-break
but it is much to he nit tted, that htijor Ludlow's column did
not arrive at its position-till long after that time, it was of course
perceived by the enemy, who took every advantage of the dis-

covery.
Major Lud!nor reports, that he had at first the moat flatter-
ing hopes of complete stteceas, the enemy being driven from
his advanced position, and compelled to rattre into his sttolatle
but the Goork at'. here took advantage of a brave but ill timed
dash of the column, which Major Ludlow endeavoured in vain
to restrain ; after an arduous conflict, in which I fear our loss
1 is great (hat I ant at pre seat unable to detail it), the column was

obliged to rtnrea..

Copy of a Letter from Major-General buts SuLLiVAN Wools,
commanding a Division of the Field Army, to the Adjutant-

General.
Stit—l have the honour to report to you, that the plan Of ope-
rations, contained in my letter of the I A January, WAi 'wormed
that evening with the id Instant, in consequence of the informa-
tion I then receis•ea, contrary to all previous representations, that
no water could be oh..iiiied nearer the fort (the name of which
is now discovered to be Mujeote) than Mahapores being a dis-
tance of three milts.

On the 2d instant, arrangements were made with the Com-
missariat for the carriage of water, tor the Europeans and Musa
sulmen in leathern bags, and fur the Houton. in pots ; and it was
resolved to establish entrenched posts at Mahapore and Rant-
char, a high ground neat the fort, and to place a detachment at
I'aharea, a peak about half way between the two former, for the
purpose of keeping up the communication. Thus my detach-
ment was unavoidably to be divided into four parts, if it suc-
ceeded in carrying the successive steep narrow and Woody peaks,
which form the outline of the whole ridge west of hifijcote. In
the evening, however, this plan was abandowd, in consequence
of the receipt or fresh intelligence brought by two spies ten: by
the Rajah Ruttt.n sing, which described the road along the rider
as rendered allogether impracticable, and from the advice and
information of a Brandi' Kauckeuuuddee Sewarree, a native of
the hills, but for many years past resident in Goruckpore and
attached to the Rajah. This man, after insisting oft the threaten-
ing nature of the difficulties presented by the Mthapore Hill,
which were abundantly obvious, recommended that the detach-
ment should cross the Tenavee, occupy llupunulpore, about tell
miles front Soutar, and, there leaving the supplies and baggage,
push on to Pali a, where grain, etc. would be mind More milli-
volt for the while detaclonei.:, and fr ni whence Nyacone might
be attackeStin its north side, where the well that supplii.d the
garrison was situated; but to the fitst place he recommended
that the redoubt at Jutgurh, cross the foot of the had of Mujeute,
and me mile west of ilootwul, should be reconnoitred and car-
ried, and the deserted town et klootwul laid in ashes. He placed
the success at this affair beyond doubt; and said, that the terror
inspired by the first inipression of our arms would have a most
beneficial effect on oar sub.equeut operations.
The whole plan appeared so reasonable, and he answering for
its success,:and offering to assist in the execution with such con-
fidence and en; hnsiasni, that I removed to begin by reconnoitring
and auackii'g Jutgutgts neat morning. Major Contra, with the
greater part tit the decacionetit urnierly placed under his coin-
-111:11Iti, was directed to advalice between Jutsurgli and Poutwol,
so as turn the left et the position, while the main body should
stack it uti front arid en the right flank : his force caissisted of
seven companies, that with tew„,ot twenty-one; and we marched
from camp as soon as the dispersion of the fog would atitint of it.
I am grieved to say, that instead of &hourlong trout the wood
upon an open plain, in front of the work, as we bad been led to
expect,l arrived with myFtaff and the foremost of the advanced
guard within fifty laces of it, before it was dtacovereri; a very
bc.vy an:l galling tire then opened front the redoubt, which was
returned by the few men wbo accompanied my Staff and myself
to reconnoitre, until the head sit the column and the guns arriv-
ed. His ninjysty's 17th Foot, who led the column, headed by
their gallant commander, Colonel liardynian, supported by the
grenadiers of the tad battalion 17111, and the 14th revision native
infantry; advanced upon the works, while the grenadier and one
battalion company sit his Majesty:s 17th, succeeded in gaining
the hill on the right of the redoubt. This party was led by a
brave and tout officer, Captain Croker, who drove• the enemy
before them up the bill, killing a Chief Sooraj Tappah; still the
fire from the eiteniv, concealed by the trees, was kept up with
great obstinacy, and the Inll, which rose immediately behind the
work, was shied with troops, .retidering the post, if it had bets
carried, wholly uutenable; t therefore determined to stop the
fruitless waste of lives, by sounding retreat.
The conduct of the whole of the troops engaged merits my
entire approltation, as expressed in the Order, a copy of which is
inclosed. 'fbat Order is too concise to du justice to my sense of
the merits of individual officers.
For the friendly and judicious advice afforded by Colossi Her.
dynast, second in ctsuniand, l shallow feel much indebted;—
sod l owe my best acknowledgement* for the zealous conduct
and active assistance• afforded me by the Staff, who were all
with me.
Nothing could exceed the ardour evinced upon every occasion
by Limiter Ant Morrison, Field Engineer, and the deprivation of
the aid afforded by his prcfersionai talents and excellent judge
meta, enhances the severe loss 1 have suffered from his dangerous
wound.
The severe wound which Captain M4Dowell received in the
early part of the action, deprived us of the services of a most
gallant and zealous OfliCer.
Lieuteuauts Points and Pickerin were with the foremost par-
ties, and fell, when nobly pressing through the enemy's fire near
the redoubt ; the first dangerously, and the other severely
wounded.

I cannot express how greatly I adniired the animated conduct
of my Ilrigade-Major,'Captain Mutt, in cheering the men th the
attack after being dangerously wounded, nor how deeply I feel
the less (width I pray may be temporary) of his services, both as
a friend, in whose able counsel I have long had reason to confide,
am& as an °Meer who is an ornament to his profession.
A subsequent report states the lobs of the enemy in killed and
wounded to have been 200, among *hom were oue of their grin,
cipal Birder*, and lour others of inferior rank.
Some confusion occurred in consequence of the majority of the
bearers baying thrown down their loads, but the soldiers, both
uropeen and native, brooght UMW most of the boxes of am-
Konckanaddee Sewaree, who misled the detachment, was a man

our sorry to acquaint you that the past of i'ersah Oltur-
rie, continaneled by Captain Sibley, was this morning attacked
by an overwhelming force of Uoorkahs, who, l regret to say,
carried their point after one hour's hard lighting, winch ended
in the repulse of our troops there, the loss of the gun, and every
kind of baggage. At break of day, when I was about to march
for that post, we heard a heavy firing in that direction, when I
pushed on with all possible speed: but within three Imes at the
place I met a vast number of wounded, and intmetitately after- ,
wards some Officers, who informed me that any attempt on my
part to recover the torture ob the day must be unavaiinig, as the
enemy's forces were computed at full 10,000. I am now hatedl
on the eastern bank of the Seres.,wah, tieing rrutection to the
