moved north-west myself centrically between those
detachments, to assi,t either or take up any pursuit
they might be engaged in.
I have now very great satisfaction in transmitting
to you a report from Captain Davies, announcing his
pursuit of, and the subsequent submission of, Appa
Dessye Nepaunker, with Chinnajee Appa Saheb, the
brother of Bajee Row, together with their troops,
amounting to between 2,000 and 9,000 horie.
I am particularly well pleased with Captain Da-
vies's conduct—it has been every thing requisite to
the spirits of our army, to moderation, and prudence.
P. S. I beg to draw your notice to the accompany-
ing Order I have issued on this occasion.
Copy of a Report from Captain E. Davies to Captain Halifax,
Acting Deputy Adjutant-General to Brigadier-General Smith's
Division, dated Camp Yellum, 7th May.
SIR—I did myself the honour to forward last night,
for the information of Brigadier-General Smith, a
letter which I received yesterday from Appa Dessye
Nepaunker, stating that he was encamped at Goondy,
having quitted Bajee Row, with the intention of
making his submission to the Hon. Mr. Elphinstone.
I marched from Bheer, at one o'clock this morn-
ing, with a view of intercepting the enemy. On the
march I was infOrmed that he was moving on the
Comerry Ghaut : I accordingly changed my direc-
tion considerably to the southward, in the hope of
crossing his route. After moving about five miles
in the new direction, and altogether about 30, I
came in sight of his line of march. He formed upon
a rising ground, as if to await our attack. A river
lay between tv, after crossing which I formed in line,
and advanced with the intention of charging ; when
we had arrrolched within 400 yards, a flag of truce
was brought l'srward, and t advanced and met Ne-
paunker; he informed me that lie would submit to
any orders 1 had to give. I required of him to ac-
company ma to Ahmectiluggur.
Chimnajee Row Appa, the youngest brother of
Bajee Row, is in Nepaunker's camp, and submits to
the same terms. I shall accordingly march on Ahmed-1
nuggur, agreeably to your original instructions, un-
less I receive orders from you to a different effect.
Nepaunker is said to have about 3,000 horse ; I
judge them, however, not to exceed 2,000; he has six
elephants and 60 camels, some of them apparently
laden with treasure.
Chinnajee Row has two palanquins, and his wife
is with him.

Nepaunker informed me that Bajee Row is now at
Berhampoor, where he will remain until an answer
shall be received through his vackeel to a reference
made to Mr. Elphinstone. The vackeel left Nepaun-
ker's camp yesterday on his way to Ahmednuggur.
Before I close this dispatch I beg to bring to the
notice of Brigadier-General Smith the anxiety shewi
by all ranks to engage the enemy, as well as their
forbearance when terms wc•ere granted.—l am, Ste.
E. DAVIES, Capt. Cum. N. R. Horse.
