By the Castle Forks East Indiaman, dispatches
have been received from Bombay announcing a bril-
liant and successful achievement by Lieut.-Colanel
the Hon. LINCOLN STANIIOPF. It is announced in
The Boniball Gazette in the following General Order

" The Honourable the Governor in Council has had the gra-

tification of receiving a report from Lieutenant-Colonel the lion.
L. STAWHOIZ to the Address of the Adjutant-General, of the first
' operations of the force under his conmund, in the Province of
Okamandel, in the reduction of the fortress of Dwarka.
" The Governor in Council has much satisfaction in noticing

the judicious and prompt decision of the Lisutenant-Colonel
commanding, and his considetate humanity in tke hour of viG li
tory, as well as the skill, discipline, and gallantry evinced by
_the ()t6cers and troops of every rank and description."
He also expresses his regret at the severe wounds
of Captain Sormasux and Lieutenant MARRIOTT.
The fortress was carried by escalade. The gar-
rison, consisting of about 5.50 men, endeavoured to
effect a retreat into the adjoining jungles, 'but were
met by the different pickets posted by Colonel STAN-
HOPE, and, hemmed in as they were, a dreadful
scene of carnage ensued. One party of them were
driven into a back water, deep and muddy; through
which they passed, and they made a stand on the
bank,and here Captain SOILLIEUX received two
wounds, one of which deprived him of his right hand,
From this the enemy again threw themselves into
the water. After great numbers had been killed,'

Lieutenant-ColonefSTANHopz caused his troops to
cease firing, and, after long persuasion, the few that

remained were induced to surrender. Endeavours
were made to save the other party in the same way,
but they continued to fire, and it was not until two
six pounders had been. brought against them with
grape, that they could be induced to give in.
Almost every one of the few remaining were badly
wounded, and the whole found alive amounted only
to fifty or sixty. The women, children, and peace-
able inhabitants had gone off into the jungles, and
the Brahmins had retired, with Colonel STANHOPE'S
approbation, to a pagoda outside the town ; so that
retribution had fallen alone on that class which never
gave, and consequently never expected to receive,
quarter. The Lieutenant-Colonel bears the most
honourable testimony to the conduct of all the OfE-

cers and men under him. The return is, killed, four;
wounded, twenty-nine ; including three Officer., Cap-
tain Sou.uEux, Lieutenant MARRIOTT, and Lieute-
nant CASSA N.

The report that the Expedition to the Persian Gulf
had met with a check is confirmed. A battalion,
with guns, was left at the island of Kishem, after we
bad destroyed the holds of the pirates. It was not

intended that this force should act on the offensive,

but merely retain its position ; but the Commanding
Officer, assisted by a force from the Imaum of Mus-
cat, proceed to attack a fortress called Lascarry,
which the pirates held. They were attacked by a
large body of Arabs, treble in numbers, and we lost
six Officers killed, and about 500 Sepoys. The latter
fought bravely, but were overpowered by numbers.
We are sorry to say, that the Honourable Mr.
Fa.rniNszose, Governor of Bombay, has had the
misfortune to fracture his collar-bone, by a fall from
his horse, as he was proceeding to Kutch on the
public business of his honourable employers. He was
gradually getting better, to the satisfaction of all
the Presidency.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this forenoon.

. The trial of the persons accused of the treasonable
conspiracy of the 19th of August, commenced on
Monday before the Chamber of Peers, as a Court of
Justice. There are, in all, thirty-five persons impli-
cated ; twenty-five as principals, and ten for being
in the knowledge of the plot, and not revealing it.
They are mostly retired Officers of the Army. Five
of the number have escaped, and the remaining thirty
are on their trial.
