Fort William, Sept. it, An.
Difpatches were this day received by the Gover-
nor General from his Excellency the Commander in
Chief, dated from Camp at Soonma, the 7th of Sep-
tember, by which it appears that M. Pietism, late
Commander of the forces of DUWLIJT Rao SCIIID1•,
having refigned the fervice of that Chieftain, had
applied by letter, dated the gth of September, for
perrniffion to pars with his family, property, and the
officers of his fuite, to Lucnnw, through the territo-
ries of the Honourable Company, and of the Nawaub
z lie, and had alfo applied for a fufficient efcort,
to be compofed either of Britifh troops, or of his
Own body guard. His Excellency General LAKE
had immediately complied with M. Peteores requell,
and had accordingly permitted that officer to proceed
through the Britifh territories, attended by a Britifh
officer, who had been appointed to meet M. PERRON
on the frontier, and condo& him to Luenow. His
Excellency General LAKE had alfo permitted M.
Pereow to be efcorted by his own body guard, and
bad provided for the reception of M. Pseatom in the
Company's territories, and thofe of the Nawaub
VIZIER, with every mark of refpea and honour. ,-

• My Lord—l hatre the fatisfaaion to inform your
Lordfhip, that, after a march of t 8 miles this morn-
ing, I learnt the enemy, in great force, under M.
Lours, had crofTed the Jumna, from Delhi, with
the intention of attacking us. When we had en-
,camped, we found our outpofts were attacked by a
body of the enemy. On reconnoitring to our front,
I found that the. enemy': whole army was drawn up
in order of battle. I immediately ordered out the
whole line, and advanced to attack them in front.—
The enemy oppofed to us a tremendous fire from
a numerous artillery, which was uncommonly well
fervid, and caufed us confiderahle lots in Officers and
men; but I have the fatisfaaion to add, that our
advance, under a mat heavy cannonade and- afloat
charge of the enemy, at about too paces dillant,
caufed a molt precipitate retreat, and left in our
polfeffion the whole of their artillery. The cavalry
purfited the fugitives to the Jumna, making great
havock, -and numbers were drowned in attempting
to croft. In (bort, I have only to exprefs my entire
approbation of the gallantry of the troops under my
command, during the whole of this molt brilliant
atinn, and &all have the honour to detail it more
particularly to morrow, which the latenefs of the
hour prevents me doing at prefent. The whole
army was under arms from three this morning, till
this moment. I have the honour to be, &c.

A Du-patch, of which the (*Haydn is a Copy, has been received
this Jay by his Excellency the Molt Noble the Governor-Gene-
ral, tram his Excellency the Commander In Chilli— •
Mr Loan—My letter of yefterday will have in-
formed your Lordfhip of the total defeat of the force
under hi. Louis. The latenefs of the hone prevented
my detailing the operations of the day as fully as I
could have wilhed. I cannot find terms fufficiently
ftrong to exprefs the high fenfe I entertain of the gal-
lant fcrvices performed by the whole of the Officers
and men in the army under my command. When
tile length of our march (upwards of 18 miles) is
considered, the fatigue the whole army underwent,
and that we were expofed to a moll galling fire from
• the enemy, of grape and chain that, while advancing
in line, the operations of yefterday rauft ever raga
the highell credit on 11l defcriptioas of the troops en-
gaged, and cannot fail of Striking the enemy with a
dread of our army, and prove to them, that oppod-
tion to fuch fup:rior difcipline and courage is efeles.
To Major General We R e, who commanded the right
wing, and to the Hon. Major General ST. JOHN, who
commanded the left, I feel myfelf under infinite obli-
gations. The former, I am lorry to fay, 'received a
very fevere contrifinn while advancing with the right
wing. Major-General Sr. Jona was oppofed to the
enemy's right. The Ileadisitis and ability difplayed
by the lion. the Islajor.General, quickly furmounted
every difficulty, and forced the enemy to retire in
difurder, with very heavy lots. To Col. Sr. Lac sit,
who commanded the cavalry, my warmth praifes
are due ; the fteadinefs and gallantry of the whole
corps, both Europeans and natives, under a firmi-
dable fire of artillery, do them infinite honour. After
the gallant and (leady charge of his Majefty's'76th
regiment, led by Capt. Bo•ci, and the whole of the
infantry line. who advanced to within too paces of
the enemy without taking their firelocks from their
, fhoulders, when they fired a volley, and milled on
• with the bayonet with a determination nothing could
resift, had forced the enemy to abandon their formi-
dable Col. Si. Lion, with the cavalry
under his command, moved rapidly forward, when
a dreadful (laughter enfued. By a well-timed ma-
haunt of the Colonel's. in intercepting their retreat
to the Jumna, mod' execution was done; the enemy's
contiiiitin was luck, that many were drowned in at-
tempting to cwt. the river. To Colonel I los s roa o,
and every Officer of the Corps of Artillery, I feel
myfellintinsuly indebted for their meritorious exer-
tions on this occalon. .1 he number of the enemy'.
grins already colleted is between 5o and Go, and I
expert many mire before the evening. I (hall have
the hor out to forward a regular retorts of the enemy's
ordnance to morrow. I have to lament the lois of
many Officers and men killed and wounded in this
returns of which be tradmitted for your

•
Lordfhip's information. Frani the extreme heat and
fatigue that both Officers and mot experienced, I
have to rsgret the lots of Major MIDDLETON of the
3d Native Cavalry, and Cornet Sasoconss of the
27th Light Dragoons, as well as of feveral European
foldiers, who fell from the effects of the fun. I horn
to lament the lots of Captain itonsar *Garcon.
(Pullin interpreter in the field), who fell when ad-
vancing in a moil gallant (Lyle. The confisquences
of this victory arc the evacuation of the city and forts
of Delhi, and the difperfion of the enemy in all di-
re Lions. At the eatne9 requeft of his Majefly, who
is anxious to put himfelf under the pr,,teetion of the
Britifh Government, I (hall crofs the river with my
army as loon as a fuflicient number of boats can be
procured. My gaff, as ufual, concluded thernfelven
to my entire fatisfatlion, and merit my warmeft
ap-
probation. I have the honour to be, my Lord,
Your Lordfhip's molt faithful humble fervant,

a My Lord—lt is with inexpreffible fatisfaftion
that I have the honour to report to your Lordfhip I
the capture of the Fort of Allygur, this morning. ,
by affault. Having (pent tome days in tinkles en-
deavours to rave the unneceflary eitur,on of blood, on
finding that the natives perfilled obßinately in the
determination of refillatce and rejefled every over-
ture I made, I found myfelf under the neceffity of
determining on fome decifive meafure ; and after ma-
turely confideritg the probability of fumes, with
the oblhacles that oppofed tis, I judged it preferable
to attempt to carry it by &Fault, than to lore time by
the flower operations of a liege. In confequence of
this refolution, I ordered the Honourable Lkote-
nant Colonel MONSON to lead the attack, computed
of four companies of his MAJESTY'S 76th regiment.
and the firft battalion of the 4th regiment, native,
infantry, under Lieutenadt-Colonel BROWS!, with a
detachment of the 17th native regiment under Cap-
tain Bacsuaw. Colonel HOItSFOID, of the Artillery.
covered their advance by a heavy fire from the bat.
tenet, in fituations which had been previoufly deter-
mined on. I attribute the faeces of this attack en-
tirely to the gallantry and Ready condo& difplayed
by the Honourable Lieutenant Colonel Mow sow, in
leading on his men, !,sadee a molt galling ire of
marquetry and graperegaioft a feet hitherto deemed
impregnable, and defended on all fides with the utnaolt
obilinacy. It would be injuftice ionic were I not to
mention the diftingsifbed bravery of the men of his
MAJESTY'S 76th regiment, who.nnewithaanding dsit
lofs of many of their officers, Readily perfevered
the attainment of their objelt was efreBed. To co-
lonel Beoww, of the firft battalion of the 4th regi-
ment, who has received a fevere wound, and to the
whole of the Officers of that battalion, whore exac-
tions on this occafion were moll meritorious, my
praife is juftly due. To Major l'ilacisoa, who ga
hotly led the 76th regiment after Colonel Monson
was wounded, and to Captain &tiptoe, of the sr-
tillery, who had charge of the guns that forced the
gate, both of whom, though wounded, Rill remained
at their poll, I feel myfelf much indebted. To Co-
1011el HCASFORD, who commanded the Artillery.
as well as Captains ROISILTSON and Gasses. who
commanded the covering batteries, I feel myfelf un-
der infinite obligations, and, indeed. the whole Corps
merit my warmeß praife, for the gallantry difplayed
on this occalion, as well as on every other in which
they have been engaged. It is with extreme &redly
I lament the lots of many valuable Officers of hoe
Ma jelly's 76th regiment, and alto of the Honourable
Company's fervice. lam Corry to add, that Colonel
MOWSOII'S wound is dangerous, and !fear I &all at
all events be deprived of the cervices of this gallant
Officer for lonic time. I than have the honour to for-
ward to your Lordfhip, as foon as poffible, returns of
the killed and wounded Officeri and men of the army
under my command, which, confidering the memo
of the attack, are as few as could be expelled. I feel
I &cold be wanting in jufti:e to the merit of Mr.
LUCAS, an Officer, a native of Great Britain. who
' lately quitted the fervice of SCINDIA, to avoid (erring
' again@ his country, were I not to recommend him
to your Lordlhip's particular attention. He gallantly
undertook to lead Colonel Mow son to the gate, and
point out the road through the fort, which he effetleil
in the molt gallant manner-, and Colonel Monson
has reported liavinn received infinite benefit kerb his
Cervices. If you diem him'worthy of any mark of
your Excellencyl.favour. it will stibrd rise great fa-
' tisfaflion if his cervices are rewarded by Government.

11•11 DER IN CHIEF OT ALL THE LAND FORCES SENT.
INC IN THE LAST INDIES.
The returns received by the Governer General in
Council, of the ordnance taken on the field of bat-
tle, near Delhi, on the t tth of Sept. 1803, have com-
pleted the official itatement of the military operations
condulicd under the perfonal command of his Ex-
cellency General LAZE, from the 19th Augult to

the 'Sill of September.
In reviewing the rapid and brilliant fuccefs of
our arms within that period of time, every loyal
fubjed of the Britifli Empire muft be animated by
the moll zealous emotions of juft pride, national tri•

umph, and public glory.
The Governor General. in Council has already
expreffed the fentiments of gratitude and admiration
with which he contemplates the conduit of his Ex-
cellency the Commander in Chief, and of the Officers
and Troops under his Excellency's perfonal com•
wand, in the anion of the 29th of Augull, and in
the gallant drank of the fortrefs of Alyghur on the
4th September.
His Excellency in Council highly approves the
judicious and early movement of the army after that
important fuccefs, towards the principal Ration of
the enemy's infantry and artillery, and the pofition
whence the molt fpeedy relief might be afforded to
the unfortunate Reprefentative of the Houfe of Ti-
mor, and tn his Majelty's Royal Family.
The decifive viaory gained in the battle of Delhi,
on the t tth of September, jullified the firm confi-
dence repofed by the Governor General in Council,
in the braverfi, perfeverance, and difcipline of the
army, and in the (kill, judgment, *dive fpitit, and
invincible intrepidity of their illuarious commander.
The glory of that day is not furpaffed by any re.
carded triumph of the Britifh mins in India, and is
attandol by every circumftance calculated to elevate
the fame of Briti(h valour, to illuftrate the charater
of Brit& humanity, and to fecure the Rability .f the
Britiflt Empire in the Eaft.
The Governor General, in Council acknowledges
with the molt cordial fatisfaition, the dillinguifhed
Cervices of Major General Wait, and of the Hon.
Major General Sr. join', in the anion of the Itch
of September, and direQs the Commander in Chief
to fimifiy his particular approbation of the condua
of tubes General Wait, to the command of the
right wing of the Britifh army ; and of the conduit
lof the Hon. Major General Sr. Joint, in the ability
and Readinefs which he difplayed in the command of
the left wing, by furmounting every difficulty 4 and
by' forcing the right wing of the enemy to retire in
diforder with heavy lots.
The Governor General in Council alto direns the
Commander in Chief to notify to Col. Sr. Lion.
and to the corps of Cavalry employed on this ho-
nourable occalion, the high approbation with which
his Excellency in Council has received the report oil
their gallantry and firtnaefs, and of the peculiar
!kill manifelted under the able command of Colonel
Sc. Leese, in their judicious, rapid, and decifive
movements during the anion, and after the flight of
the enemy had commenced. His Excellency in
Council contemplates with great fitisfanion the ad-
vanced Rate of difcipline of the native cavalry of
Bengal, and the fplendid proofs which that corps
has afforded of its efficiency in *nice fetvice /gala
the numerous artillery of the enemy.
The coodun of Captain Boyce, of his Majelly's
76th regiment, is noticed with the warmeß applaufe
by the Governor General in Council. The high re-
putation eftablifhed by that refpenable corps in va-
rious Cervices of difficulty and danger in India. ap-
peared in the battle of Delhi, with a degree of lußre
which has never been exceeded, even by Britilb
troops. His Excellency in Council figni6es his molt
dillinguithed approbation of the firmnefs and intr..
pidity of the officers and men of the Native Infantry,
I who, with his Majeßy's 76th regiment, at the point
of the bayonet, forced an enemy, eonfiderably tope.
rior io numbers, from a powerful and well ferved
artillery, and opened the way for the fuccefsful
charge of the cavalry. The conduit of the Native I
Troops on this memorable day tenets the higheß
honour upon the difcipline of the Army of Bengal.
tad confirms the coofidenee of the Governor General
lin Council, in the diligence, (kill, and courage of
the officers of this ellablillment, and in the eminent
.tharader of our native foldiers.
. To Lieutenant Colonel Holtman, and the Artil-
der). the Governor General in Council repeats the
public tains:my of approbation, which. that meritn •
fiesta corps has uniformly deferred in every exigency
of the fervice.
To the Staff of the army, the Governor General in
Council is happy to exprefs the fatisfainion with which
he learns, that they continued, on all occafions, to
merit the war melt approbation of the Commander
its Chief. '
The Governor General in Council fincerely la
usents the lots of Major MIDDLFTON, Capt. M.Gas-
Goa. Lieutenant HILL, Lieutenant Pa tiros, Cornet
Sago vont. and Quarter Mailer Rictraarnow ; and
of the b Iv: Soldiers who fell in the exemplary exer-
tion of deliberate valour. and difciplined fpirit. at
the battle of Delhi. The names of thefe brave man
wili he commemorated with the glorious events of
the day on which they fell, and will be honoured
and revered while the fame of that fignal viinory
thall endure.
In tettimony of the peculiar honour acquired by
the army under the perfonal command of his Excel.
lency General LAICK, the Governor General in Conn•
cil is pleafcd to order, that honorary colours, with
a device properly faked, to commemorate the re-
dunton of the lowers of Alyghur, on the 4th, and
