Itz.i•nt from Brigadier-General tvlttnrolo th. Adjutant-Glner4l,
dated Ctn.,, at Month, Decertbnr 24, :MT.
had'th2 honour to address you.ori the 224.1
instant from Koosgtil. The force by which I 'vas
then accompanied eons:sted of two flank and three
battalion companies from the garrison of Darivar.—,
The battalion companies proceedd next morning to
meet the battering train from Bellary.-and I march.
ed at the same time with the flank companies, with
One of tlie oattalion guns, and n. five and half inch
mortar, under the command of. Maier Newell, for
trawelgoond, in order to ',the,* that place, in-which
I had a garrison o' Peons, hard mind 'by Cassi
Row Goklah. On approaching within twin miles.of
Nawelgoond (4), some email parties' et horse were-
seen ; and advancing abut a mile farther, the main
body was discovered reeving slotely along the side
of a' rising ground, at the di: mono of about a than,
sand yards ; its strength appeared' to be about 700,
add as it seemed to Dave an intention of coming
round upon our baggage, two shells were thrown,
by which -two horsemen were killed. The whole
body upon this moved off; attended by about. 200
foot, which Cassi Row had brought with him, and
the garrison of talighurry (5), amounting to about
100 men, and was soon out of sight.
When the Peishwa commenced hostilities, it. be.
came evident that the local situation of this Province,
and goklah's extensive jagheers in it, would give
great facility to the enemy in making incursions into
the Company's territory.. Tlie mast likely way of
preventing it was to find the enemy employment in
the defence of his 'own possessions ; but as. there was
no disposable regular force present, I determined at
once to avail myself of the aid of rho inhabitants in
aecomplishing this object, as much peogeess in this
plan has already been made as was possible with the.
means within my reach.
I appointed military Aumidart to. rreest of the
tricts in the enemy's possession's on this side of the
k.falperhah, with. orders tO" raise Peons (4, and get
'possession of as much of their respective districts as
*as practicable. Aniong these men Ram Row, a
xtative of Mysore, was appointed! to hiawelgocind ;
he got pessimism of above half the district in a. very
short time, and on the 19th inst. headvanced.from a
village about two miles froni Nev:elgoonfl with 500
Pt-ons to atteek Govincf Rosy Golldt, who was at
thet -piece with *•tordy of 700.herse., and about 000
et *is body were psi:sleeted in'the arias and the
open space •between the pettair and fort. The rest
were mounted, and watching Ram Itose, who ad-
vteeed• at noon so rapidlythat he entered the pettah
before the body there could mount an& gies out of it.
-Elie panic wet so great that they galloped off in
every'direttien, without attempting to make an,y.re.
sigt2nee. Nis et horses were. taken, above 20. were
I;ft'deasi. A considerable number of the enemy were
