Extract from a Dispatch from the Governor in Conner at Dam-
b.•y to the Secret Committee, dated March 2i.

The following forts have been reduced subsequently
to those adverted to in our letter of the 19th ult,(6)
viz. Logur and Issapoor, Tekoona, Tcmjee, RAnj
Mochee, and Koarce 8), by a force sent from this
Presidency, under command of Lieatenant-Colonel
Prother, aided by a detachment from Poona, to

assist in the operations.
Ramghur and Paulghur (c), by the detachment
which recently proceeded into the Southern Concan,
under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Kennedy,

of the Ist battalicn letli regiment of native infantry.
Russaulghur, a strong hill fort, situated about 40
miles to the south-east of tort Victoria, has likewise

surrendered under an arrangement which we autho-
rised Colonel Kennedy CO negotiate with the Killad4r,
under which the sum of .5,000 rupees has been as-

signed to him.
The fort of Nowapoora has surrendered to a de-
tachment from the force stationed at Bec.tri, under
the command of Major Kennett, which we had or-
dered to attack it. The fort is situated about 18

Singhur having surrendered, Brigadier-General
Pritzler congratulates the division under his com-
mand upon having gained possession of so strong a
fortress with so little loss.
The Brigadier-General is ntuch obliged to Lieute-
nant-Colonel Dalrymple for his exertions during the
siege, and the early surrender of the place is in a
,very great degree to be attributed to his professional
''experience:
To Captain Nutt, the Brigadier-General feels much
indebted, as well as to Lieutenant Grant, who, pre-
vious to the arrival of Captain Nutt, was the senior
Officer of Engineers, for the manner in which the
'several duties of that department were conducted,
and he had occasion particularly to notice the very
zealous manner in which all the officers of t!ba corps
performed their duty.
The good practice of the artillery is visibly shewn
upon the enemy's works, and by the loss which the
enemy has sustained, and the steady conduct of the'
artillery in the batteries reflects the greate;t possible'
credit upon both the Officers and men of that corps.
On the conduct of the troops generally, the Briga.
dier-General has only to observe, that the cheerful-
ness with which they performed all the laborious du-
ties of the siege, which from the position of the fort
were great, and the gallantry they displayed when-
ever they came in contact with the enemy, are suffi-
cient proofs to convince him that they are equal to
overcome any difficulty which can he surmounted by
soldiers ; and which opinion he will not fail to con-
vey to his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief.
The conduct of the pioneers has been such es to
give the Erigadier-General the greatest sitisfaction. .

dated Camp at Yeor, 7th March.
Or. the 13th of February, Brigadier-General Smith
Proceeded in pursuit of the Peishwa. Bajee Row was
then at Solapoor, more than 100 miles to the east
of General; a large body of his horse was at
Khuttow, in the hills between Sattara and the river
Mann, and his infantry and gnus were in the neigh-
bourhood of Kenah, on the Kistna. It appeared to,
be the Yeishwa's intention to draw all '''rte troops
together, and probably to move to the northward,
where, after being jelned by Itam Deen and the'
Barra Bhye, he probably meant to stand the action.
He had been diverted from this plan by the wish to
seize en the treasures of tho late Sedasheo Mannkai-
s-ur at Salapoor and Tambo:rnee, and he was retarn-
iag.trom the former place when 13rigadier-General
South obtained ictolligence of his appreach. The,
manner in which General Smith availed himself. of
this opportunity has already been reported to your
Excellency( f). The result has been, the precipitate
flight of the Peishwa, the rescue of the Rajah Or
Sattara, and the death of Gokla. The Peishwa
passed Hurra on the 27th, where the native Officer
commanding the party very gallantly made a sally
on one of the divisions, killing. and taking several
men and horses. Another.division attempted, with-
out success, to take Newassa from Captain Gibbon's
sebundies et ler 7.1 he reached Copergaum, wherel
he was on the Ist inst. but as his Excellency Sir Tho-
mas liielop was to be at Casserbury, within 30 miles.
on the same day, it is probable that the Peishwa ha
before this been again attacked, or conapellerto re-
turn to the ',out're.varei as rapidly as he left it. In the,
event of such a nroven,ent, lee Neill have great diffi-
culty in el:aping General Smith, and must won lose

It is only since my arrival in tills camp that I have
learned (what General Smith himself had suppressed)
that he was wounded in the action of the 21th. He
was at one time alone, surrounded by the enemy,
and was in imminent danger until he could force his
way to the dragoons ; while in this situation he re-
ceived a blow on the head from a sabre, which had
nearly proved fatal, but from the effects of which he
has now almost recovered.

-----
Stye--I have the honour to report, for the informa-
tion of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that
the fort of Singhur (e) was invested by the troops
under my command on the 20th ult. that on the 22d
a battery of four mortars an] two howitzirs was
opened to the southward of the fort under the hills,
and anot ter of one mortar and one howitzer was esta-
blished on a hill to the eastward, distant about 600
yards aim the fort ; on the 21th, two six-pounders
, were ad led to this battery.
On the 25th a battery of two twelve and two six-
pounders was established on a hill to the westward
of the fort, distant about 1,100 yards, in order to en-
filade and keep down the fire previous.to the erection
of the breaching batteries.
On the morning of the 28th, two breaching bat-
teries, of two 18-pounders each, were completed,
and opened their fire.
Oar fire, from the commencement of the siege un-
til yesterday, was returned by the enemy with great
spirit, and an effort was made by them to oppose
our possession of the heights to the eastward and
westward of the fort; I alas, therefore, surprised that
our loss of men (a retain of which is inclosed) has
been so inconsiderable.
Yesterday afternoon 'the enemy made proposals to
surrender the fort, which were not acceded to; but
this morning the articles of capitulation (of which 'I
the inclosed-is a copy), were e.goed by me, in con-
currence with the opinion of the Hon. Mr. Elphin-
stece the British Coramissicner.
The rtrisnn, it appears, consisted of abe,lt 100
Arabs, ,tiCa Gessa.ms, and 500 natives of are Concan,
of Whom grout Sp were killed, and 100 wounded.
the great nataral strength of the fortress, and the
• assailable point (the gateway) being at so great
a height, very much increased the difficulties of the
siege, as both ordnance and ammanition-could only
Le up to the batteries b 7 Irganual lal;eur.
ido myself tie honour to incicse a copy of the
Order- I have issued upon the occasion; and I have
great pleasure in making known to the Commander-
in-Chief, that the conduct of every individual under
My command gave me the utmost satisfaction.
From the es .once and professional knowledge of
Lientenant;Colonel Dalrymple I derived the greatest
possible assistance, as well as from Captain Nutt,
the Commanding Engineer, and Lieutenant Grant
of that ccrps, who acted as Commanding Engineer,
until the arrival of the former Officer from Poona.
I have the honour to enclose a return of the ord-
nance and stores which have been found in the fort.
I hate the honour to be, &c.
