M'Carthy, to march in one division for Limerick.
Colonel Bnooke, the Commanding Officer of the
44th Regiment, stationed at Waterford, received, on
Sunday, directions to send forward two Companies to
Kilkenny. The rest of the Regiment will probably',
march for that quarter of the country on or about

INDIA BOARD, strict it,

Untoward circumstances, chiefly imputable to in-
tentionally delusive intelligence, defeated the hope
of making an impressive example of the Pindarries,
when they were nearly surrounded by the divisions
of Major-General Marshal, Major-General Donkin,
stud Lieutenant-Colonel Adams, on the Kotah boun-
dary. I think, however, your Honourable Com-
mittee will be of opinion, that the direction given
to the several columns was properly adapted to effect
its object. As it is, we have nearly destroyed the
association. Kurreem Khaun, and Vasil Mahomed,
by deserting their families, and the great proportion
of their troops, have escaped for the present with, at
the utmost, three thousand of their best mounted
followers. Numbers of these, whom they abandoned,
have been cut off in detail, and many more will
perish in that manner, while the baggage and women
have fallen into our hands. The latter have expe-
rienced every humane treatment. Cheetoo, who
had from the outset of their Hight taken a different
course to the westward with his-Durrah, is at a short
distance beyond the Chumbul, and, disappointed of
reception by Meer Khan, appears perplexed how to
act. I have reason to believe that his men have been
daily quitting him to a large amount, from the hope-
lessness of their prospects.

Corr of a REPORT from Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Hts-
tor, Bart. to the Govtaxoa-Oraerrot. and Commarnia-nt-
Caw, dated Camp on the Soopra (opposite Maheidpore),
29th December, 1817.
MY LORD—In my dispatch to your Lordship of
the 13th instant, from Ougein, I had the honour to
report the junction, on the preceding day, of the
third division, with that under my personal com-
mand, and the then uncertain state of our negocia-
tions with the Government of Malhar Rao Holkar.
In my subsequent address to your Lordship of the
18th instant, from Pion Behar, I described the fur-
ther progress of these arrangements ; and, I now beg
to refer you for all the details connected with the
origin, progress, and ultimate failure of the over-
tures in question, to the correspondence of Brigadier-
General Sir John Malcolm, your Lordship's political
agent, at my head-quarters, which he has regularly
maintained, since their commencement, with Mr.
Secretary Adam, as also to his final report thereon,
stating the termination of every prospect of amicable
adjustment. Thus situated, there appeared no alter-
native left to me for the vindication of the honour of
the British Government, and of your Lordship, than
that which I determined upon, and which was in-
stantly followed up by the attack of Holkar's army
in the position it occupied, and of which event I had
the satisfaction of apprising your Lordship on the
evening of the 21st instant, by a sew lines from the
field of battle.
On the 20th instant, I moved to within seven miles
of the army of Mulhar Rao Holkar, in the hope that•
this advance might alarm the counsellors of that
Prince into more pacific measures, but in this expec-
tation I was disappointed, as my piquets were at-
tacked, in the course of the day, by a considerable'
body of horse. I moved in consequence on the fol-
owing morning towards the enemy, and had ad-
•anced but a short distance, when my line of march
was attacked by their horse. On approaching the
main body of their army, I found it advantageously
posted on the left bank of the Soopra, nearly oppo-
site to Maheidpore, their left flank protected by the
bed of the river, and their right by a very deep
ravine ; while their line, which could be approached
only by one ford, practicable for guns, was protected
by several ruined villages..
After reconnoitring their position, and finding that
to turn either flank would require a long detour, and
perceiving at the same time that the bed of the river
afforded considerable cover for the troops during
their formation, I determined to attack them in front,
and ordered the advance of the columns to the ford,
some light troops immediately passed, and were fol-
'lowed by the horse artillery, which opened on their
guns; another battery of the foot artillery played
from the right bank of the river in a situation which
enfiladed some cannon the enemy had placed upon
the left, and which had opened a heavy and well
