Mr Loan—Finding it impoffible m make ap-
proaches againft this place, as long as the (even bat-
talions of the enemy, who remained here, were in
potietflon of the town of Agra, of an encampment
with a large number of guns on the glacis, and of
the ravines with which the fowls and fouth•vreft face
of the fort is forrounded. I determined to difludge
the enemy from the town, and occupy the ravines
this morning, which will anfwer as trenches, and
a:tord complete cover for carrying on our works.
With this view I ordered Brigadier General Clarke,
who was encamped with his brigade in the rear of
' the town, t 6 take partflon of it, at the fame titles
that three battalions advanced to occupy the mines.
The attacks have fucceeded, and the toirtsas weft as
else ravines are ow: occupied b

greateil alacrity and Readinefs. lam Corry to fay
that a number of men have beets killed and wounded,
as well as officers, owing to their high fpirit and
anxiety to poilefs themfelves of the enemy's guns ;
they quitted the ravines and gained thelglacis, driving
the enemy from their potation; in effeaing which,
from being clole under the fort, they were expofed to
a very heavy fire.
My thanks argilue to the Honourable Major General Sr. JOIN

Tie Captain Ames , Adios Military Secretary to the Go-

verear.OeserZ in CounciL

Sir—l had the honour ot briefly dating to you yet-
terday, for the information of his Excellency the Molt
Noble the Governor General, that the Fort of Bara.
butty had been taken by affault, by a part of the
troops under my command, direeed to perform this
fervice under the orders of Lieutenant Colonel CLxr•
Tom of the aoth Bengal regiment. I now have the
honour to acquaint you, for his Excellency's infor.
station, with the further details of this operation.
On the night of the 12th a fpot was fixed on for a
ts•pounder battery, ditlant about Soo yards from
the outer gate of the fort. This battery was com-
pleted on the night of the 13th, and the az pounder
placed in it, together with two howitzers and two
&pounders, the whole of which opened their fire cn
the morning of the sath. By eleven o'clock in the
forenoon molt of the defences on the South face of

the Fort againft which our fire was direCted were
taken off, t enemy's guns Glanced, and every ap•
ppeeaarraanee promifed faced's. Upon which I directed
Lieut. Cols CLAYTON, to advance with one 6 pounder,
and a party of-artillery men, two hundred Europeans
from his Majellyie asd, and the Madras European
regiment,
.antfoar hundred Sepoys from the soth
Bengal, and•the 9th and• 19th regiments of Madras
Native Infantry, The party had to pafs over a nar-
row bridge. and
-under a very heavy but ill direct ed
fire of murquetry from the fort, to which they were
i=for.forty minutes. They at length fucceeded
g open the wicket (rhe remaining part of
the gate having been fortified with thick maffes of
Bone.) Having once accomplifhed this, the party
entered tingly, and although they met with confider-
able refiflance whilll entering the fort. and palling
two other gates, the Britifh troops were Coon com-
pletely vieorious. I cannot too highly praife the
conduit of Lieutenant Colonel Ciarrow, and that
of the officers and troops under his command. The
whole party manifelted a degree of perfevering flea-
diners and bravery that does them infinite honour.
The fort of Barabutty is of confiderable firength, and
with the exception only of the bridge over which our
party paffed, is inacceffible, as it is furrounded by a
ditch from 35 to 135 feet broad, and so feet depth of
water in it. I am happy to acquaint you that oar
lots has not been .:onfiierable, but I have to report
with regret, that Captain K of the 19th regi-
=eat of Madras Infantry, Cain H U LIMO I of his
Majefly's aid regiment, and Lieutenant Fels. Hy us. of
the Bengal Artillery, are wounded, though not dan-
gerouflys their condua was highly meritorioxs,as well
as that of every other officer on the terming party.
Returns of the killed and wounded are encloled.
I moot omit expettlisg in the firoingelt manner the high teak
which I entertain of the Cervices of Captain blunt. field engineer,
who has been throughout our campaign. indefatiga adive ;
Hid of Captain Hasler, of the Bengal artillery, whole well di-

omit nuratkatisq, that a heed of colours of the enemy was taken
DT the dceschnient of his Majdly's sad regiment, a fecond hand
of oaken by the the tdek Bengal regiment, a third by the 9th

nor General, &c. &e. &t.
My Lord—l have the pleafure to inform your
Lordfhip, that the important fortrefs of Agra,
termed by the natives The Key of Hindoftan, capi-
tulated laft night, and the garrifon, confining of be-
tween five and fix thoufand men, marched out at noon
this day, when the place was immediately occupied
by our troops, under the command of Brigadier
General MACDONALD. The only terms required
by the Garrifon, were protettien to their perfona and
private property, which was agreed to on oar part.
—I attribute the early furrender of this place to the
great imprellion our breaching batteries, which
opened yefterday morning within three hundred and
fifty yards, made on the walls, and which worild
have caufed a praflicible breach in a few boars
more battering. To Colonel HORSIfORD of the ar-
tillery, and Captain WOOD, of the Corps of Engi.
veers, as well as to every other officer in thofe two
Corps, I feel myfelf under great obligations for their
unremitted exertions on this occafion, and to which
I principally attribute my early fuccefs againft this
place. I have the pleafure to fay, our lots fince the
conftruiftion of the batteries has been very trifling.—
Three European Artillery Men, and three Golun-
dauze killed, are the only calualties. A return of
the ordnance, fibres, &c. found in the fort, I (hall

It is wick heartfelt gratification we announce that
fuccefs continues to crown the progrefs of our arms
againß the united forces of Dowlut Rao Scindia and
the Rajah of Bcrar : the city of Berampore fell in-
to our pollefflon, without any oppofition 6n the 17th
nit. and the bong Hill Fort, Lower Fort, and Pet.
ta of Affeerghur, furrendered to Colonel Sr sssss or
at (even in the morning of the sill, but not before
our guns bad for tome time thundered again& the
enemy at an elevation of 214 degrees. Affeerghur
is a fort of uncommon flrength, the rock itfelf is about
800 yards high, and the road up exceedingly bad ;
there arc two of the largeß brats guns at the top
ever teen ; they are 48 pounders, but in weight of
metal heavier than three of ours of the fame calibre;
one of the guns ma-tires 224 feet in length, and the
other 16, and both are Paid to have been call at Agra.
Our carnality is cßimated at about twenty men in
killed and wounded, but no officers. Affeerghur
completes the conqueß of Scindia's poffeffions in the
Dec kan.

The particulars of Colonel Sraviissom's attack on
Affeerghur, are as follows :—On the 18th Oftober he
encamped three miles from it, and on the 19th ad-
vanced with three companies of Infantry, two troops
of Cavalry, and the piquets of his army, to recon-
noitre the Fort and Petta. On his approaching them,
a body of men formed on the heights and fired at
his party; but as Colonel Sr sysNsow had propofed
terms to the Killedar of the Fort, and his meffen-
gers had not then returned, he avoided any attack
on the enemy; but very shortly after this, his hur-
carrahs returning, and the Fort firing a fhot at his
people, and the Infantry on the heights keeping up
a (mart fire of mufketry, the Colonel ordered the
Infantry to advance and drive the enemy from the
heights, which they effeEted almoff immediately.—
On their poffeffing themfelves of the heights, they
taw the Pettah almoft defencelefs below them ; this
circumftance added to'their ardour in advancing,
led them to follow the fugitives into and through
the Pettah, which they took poffeflion of, and found
it Ilored with grain, and the private houfes full of
property. The fort, being near and commanding the
Pettah, fired on every man who (hewed himfelf in the
ftreets with cannon from the upper, and mufketry
from the lower works, but with little effeEt ; during
which Colonel STEVIIIION ordered the battering guns
to be brought into the Pettah, where he Rationed
them to take advantage of any fituation that might
favour their ufe, fo as to advance them during the
night. The people in the tort, on feeing the guns
approach, were intimidated, and propofed terms for
its furrender.

CEYLON, O(T. :9, aßoj.
Intelligence having been received that the Firft Adi•
gaar of Candy had affembled a very confiderahle force
at Batooghedere, in the Saffergam Cork, with the
intention of invading the Bricilh territories, Captain
WILLIAM MACP11•11$•)/1 of his NIAJLITY's 12th regi.
ment, was detached from Colombo, with a party con.
lilting of so Europeans and too natives, to difperfe
his army. Captain W. MAC? H F AWN left Columbo on
the morning of Thurfday, 6th Oetolier, and litter a
fatiguing march through the Raygam Cork, paffed
the Candiaa frontier on the 9111. His march was
afterwards oppoksi by the Candisns, pi:Med behind
two batteries, who were, Lowest?, driven hack w‘th.
nut any lots on our fide, and he art ived oppofite to
Batooghedere, on the Northern Bank of the Calno
Gunga, on the I zth inilant. The iillnefs and rapi-
dity of the ftream rendered it impolTible r...) pals over,
a nd one fir; -ate of the 5 t ft was Loam :towel y we.uriLled
by a that front the oppofite those. The Adigaar I

however, retreated with precipitation towards the
province of Cove, and the army with him is fuppofed
to have difperfed. Captain MA crH az so so therefore
turned his march to the Northward, and priveeded
through the Candian territory to Avifavelle, having
executed (as far as circumftances would allow) the
objeEt of his expedition.
Captain Breve' having heard that Hambangtotte
was attacked by the Candians in great numbers, on
the 29th ult. marched with tke force, under his cam.
mend, from Catoone, in the Mature diftrift, where
he was Rationed, to relieve that place. He arrived
at Hambangtotte on the 6th inftant, but the blockade
had already been raifed by a fpirited and judicious
fortie of Enfign Pasosaciesr, accompanied by Mr.
W. PRIM Affillant Surgeon of his Majefty's Lath
regiment, who was accidentally upon the fpot. The
fortie drove the Candians to a confiderable diftance
from the place, and they have now evacuated the
province of the Mahagampattoo. The numerous bat-
teries confkruSed by •them were burned by EnGgn
PIIIDIRCIA ST. and nothing but the fatigue of the
Malay invalids and the rapidity of the enemy's eight
in every direition prevented a confiderable !laughter.
The terror of the Candians on this occafion. was aug-
mented by a heavy fire kept up by the armed brig,
Missive, Captain Jose M.Nicoi, which 134 d been
moored clofe in !bore for the purpofe of annoying the
enemy.

cure, a fubjeft which had occupied a confiderable
degree of his intention, and was very near his heart,
he fhould to-morrow fubmit to the confederation of
their Lordfhips, a motion relative to the general de-
fence of the country.
The Houfe having gone into a Committee on the
Volunteer Bill, feveral classics were gone througo
with verbal amendments.

On this amendment a pretty long converfationtook
place, when the Houle divided for the original Claufe
—Contents 34—Not Contents 16—Majority 18.
On a fubfequent regulation in the fame Claufe, de-
claring that Commanding Officers (hall alto make re
turns of the Hoge', of Yeomanry, or Cavalry, in their

Lord GRENVILLE moved, that as tt Would be

which they mutt be ntterlyunacquainted, Inch returns
(hould be limited to the amber of borfes aOually ufed
in every Inch 'Corps, without particularifing the

Several verbal amendments were made in the VIVO
or three following claufes
On the claufe which Rates that any perfoa who
(hall quit a Volunteer Corps than be immediately
liable to fervice in the Militia, if he (hall not have
any legal claim to exemption at the time of his quit-
ting or being difcharged from a Corps of Yeomanry
or Volunteers,

Lbrd GRENVILLE eapreffed a defire that the
words fhould be altered fo as to extend the claim of
exemption to the time at which be might he called
upon to tirve, as it might fo happen that there was
no vacancy in the Militia of his difiri& at the time of
his difcharge, and, by the time that a vacancy would
arife, he might have become pall age, might have
his family fo increafed that he would then be entitled
to exemption which he could not legally claim at the
time of his difcharge, or many other cedes of ex-
emption might arife. In this his Lordfbip was fop-
ported by Earl Spencer, Lord King, &c.
The Lord Chancellor, Lord Hobart, and Lord
Hawkefbury, defended the original form of the claufe.
At elven o'clock the Houfe adjourned, in order
to confider the claufe more minutely.
