sag able to add the further reporti amassed under

Cures adopted by that officer in the coarfe of the ex-

vince of Cottack, the conqueti of which appears to
have been completed by the liege aid alma of the

his Excellency the Moll Noble llte Governor Gene-
ral iffued the general orders under date the sod of
that month, of which a copy will be found in the
voucher No. 6.-4. On the receipt of the iatelli-
gence of the reduction of the fort and city of Broach
by the troops under the command of Lieutenant.l
Colonel Woorstacrott, his Excellency the governor
General in Council iffued General Orden, under
date the lath of Oetober, as per copy enclbfed, in
which ample tellimony is borne to the merits of the
officers and troops employed on that important ler-
vice.-5. The details of the fplendid viEtory obtain-
ed over the enemy by the troops under the perfonal
command of the Honourable Major General Wet-
LESLIT, at Affye. on the 23d of September, having
been already fubmitted to your Honourable Com-
mittee, it remains now only to add a copy of his Ex-
cellency the Governor General's orders, under date
the Both of Odober, in reference to that figaal event.
—6. Among the confeqUences derived from the ex-
ertions of that day, which terminated in the com-
plete defeat of the combined forces of Dowcur
Rbw &Inman, and of the RAJAH of Baia., was an
overture from the enemy's camp, as received by Ge-
neral Wit-tester on the sth of October, requell•
iag that a Britifl: officer, together with an officer
of the Soabandan of the Dekan, might be dill
patched to the- enemy's camp, for the porpofe of
negotiating terms of peace between the Allies and
the confederate Mahratta Chieftains.-7. Major-
General W did not, however, comply
with this requeß, but fignified his difpofition to
receive, at the Britith camp, with every mark of
honour and refpeet. any perfon duly empowered
by direct authority from Dowtor Row Scut-
ma, or from the RAJ•II Of BlltAlt, to propofe
terms of peace to the Allied Powers.-8. Accor-
dingly it appears that the former of thofe Chieftains
has fent a property accredited agent into the camp
of the Honourable Major General W , and
the enclofed copy of a dilinteh from that Officer to
our Prefident, under date the ,4th ult. will thaw
that the evefiquenee of that meagre has been a cef
ration of hoffilities between the Bririlk forces and
thole: of SCINDIA j but the terms of the agreement
concluded on that occafion do not include the RA.
JAN of BIR•R'S forces or territories, nor have we
any further information on the fubjeet of the impor-
tant event in queßion, than is contained in the
Honourable Major General's difpatch ; but we trait
that this approach towards an accommodation may
be fpeedily followed by the refloration of peace to
Hindoßan and to the Dekan, a refult which the
aufpicious pr refs of our arms in all quarters of
India, is fo well calculated to accelerate.-9. Since
writing thus far. we have received from Bengal the
further important intelligence contained in the ac-
companying paper, advifing of a glotious and im-
portant victory obtained on the ill of November,
near Caffowly in Hindotlan, by the army under the
perfonal command of his Excellency General ',Aar,
over a very large body of 1)0%1/LOT Row Stamina's
regular infantry and cavalry, in which the enemy
were entirely defeated, with the lots of all their guns,
tumbrels and baggage, though not without confider-
able lots on our part. We have the honour to be,
with the greateß refpea, &c. Ice. &c.
