' TO LIEUT. COL. TIDY, 03., Dm. ADJUTAVT-021411111AL.1
, Sir—l have the honour to state, for the information
of Major General Sir Archibald Campbell, command-
ing the forces, that on the morning of the 25th inst.l
while in progress to this station, with three companies
of bis Majesty's 87th Regiment under my command, I
was suddenly attacked from a steep bank covered with
jungle, by the Burmese, near the villige of Theacom-
bine, when, salter a • smart skirmish, they retreated in •
great confusion; their loss I could not ascertain, as they
carried off their killed and wounded.
I have every reason to be satisfied with the conduct
of both officers and men, particularly with that of
Captain Bowes, who commanded a small party in ad-
vance, and sustained, with great coolness, the first and
heaviest pact of the ent my's fire, after having been,
wounded by almost the fist shot.
I beg leave to toeing to the notice of Sir Archibald Campbell, the
good conduct of Mr. Volunteer Hutchins on this occasion, and in
fact ever since be has been with the regiment.—l have, Ste.

Stn—ln transmitting herewith a list of the casual.
ties which occurred in that part of the Flotilla under
my orders, and of the guns, stores, and cr aft captured
in the attack upan the enemy's position at Pagoda
Point, during the whole of yesterday, I beg to have the
honour of bringing under your Excellency's no. ice, the
highly distinguished conduct of the officers and men
belonging to that branch of it Which is in the service of
the Honourable company. It is extremely gralifying
to observe, that on this, as on other recent occasions,
they have uniformly vied with the light division (cons
posed of the boats of the squadron) in zeal, gallantry,
and exertion. Indeed, since my arrival at headzquart
tens, I have derived no small satisfaction at the promp-
titude, good order, and regularity, which have been
conspicuous in the details of the Flotilla. One common
feeling animates the %hole of this fotce, which has pro-
duced the happiest results. .
I regret to announce to you, amidst the decided ad-
vantage of the acquisition of an important post, the
death of Captain Dawson, of the Arachne. In him the
service has lost a gallant and highly meritorious officer,
whose recent promotion to the rank of commander is a
proof of the opinion I entertained of his professional
character.—l have the honour to be, Sir, &c.
