8111--I had the honour in my letter of the.2/111
ult. to acquaint you with my intention of proceeding
19 this point of the litorrOuspornaill, which move.
Toent es.-cirted acc9rdiegiy.
. On the best reconnoissance that could he made
wajthout rnriieulatly callmß the attention of the ene-
my to our movenwiles, it appeared that a strong
point within about eight hundred yards of dm stock-
aski mentioned had been neglected. This stockade,
tuns upon the range and to the westward of the
Hurryhorpore Fort, sirpposed to be about 1000 yards
&an It, In form a semicircle, and the mountain nearly
firrtietitlicul.ir to the es:l-vanities, two guns in it, and
us all respects torfrislabie.

As. the eccupation of this neglected point appeared
to be of great moment, it was advisable to lake it by
surprisr ; I vusequently ordered the light infantry
cempanies of the brigade, with two companies isf
midi of the following regiments, viz. his Maksty's
21411, 18th native infantry, Chumparun light infantry,
and 'one company of the 2d 'battalion 21st native
iegiment, with two 8-pounders, carried by bearers,
to march at three o'clock yesterday morning, under
the command of Lieutenant-Colonel O'FiAlloran,
folio tool possession of the position a few minutes
bef,re sir, dislodging a picquet left for its protection.
The enemy, in very considerable force, made a most
desperate and obstinate attack to recover this point,
I was therefore obliged to send * few companies to
support the rear of the position which was threatened.
Tt stai irtipossible, from the nature of the ground,
to close or use the bayonet, " and the musqnetry con-
tinued without interruption until half past eleven
o'clock, when the arrival of two six-pounders and
• 'too five an,t a halt inch howitzers on elephants, in a
few minutes decided the afrdir, and left us in posses-
goll of au altnost natural redoubt, veil advantage-
ously situated for further operations.
I slo myself the honour to inclose a list of killed
and wounded, which, considering the length of time
the 4tAir lasted, is not great. Amongst the wounded
you will 6od Captain Lilalsay, of the artillery ; al-
though his wounds Are not severe, 1 fear I shall lose
hss active services for a time, which I lament ex.
.ceed:rgly, itavivg found Captain Lindsay a most
.itnlous able Officer, both as an artillerist and

engineer.
. I am highly indebted to Lieut.-Colonel O'Hallo.
sae, for the able and olficer•like sdanner in which he
sitscuted • this duty ; and nothing can possibly be
more &offing or creditable, than his report of the
gallant conduct of the troops throughout.
Front every report, it appears that the enemy have
sl.ffesed severely; numbers el their killed are lying
it% all directions round the Foint of attack. Two Of
three hundred Gorkahs have been brought in, bet
.they are, from the styl', of their wounds unable to
speAk or give intelligei.i .
The advanced position only admits nine companies,
svbich, with a Field-Officer, I relieve every 24 hours.
It will take some time to make the road for the heavy
sons. We are, however, this day employed in getting
op the ltepouoders, which will probably breach the
stockade.
I am still deficient of intelligence, and uncertain
of the real-numbers of the enemy ; but believe them
to be as I before stated. The heavy rain of last ni :
.tad this morning interrupts our operations; but
'lope it is about to clear.
I have the hooour to be, Bte. (Signed)
W. KILLY, Colonel.

,ve great satisfaction in announcing, that we

that insatiable scourge the small-pnx.
Mr. Prince Saunders, lately arrived from London,
has brought out the vaccine fluid ; with authentic do-
cuments from Mr. Moore, the Director-General of
Vaccination in England, far its use. Mr. Saunders
has already vaccinated the children in the Palace of
Sans Sone': and his Majesty has-directed all the phy•
sicians of Hayti to take instructions frotn hint nn the
subjf.ct. He has also ordered that establishments be
made in all the parishes for the 'effectual vaccination
of all the inhabitants liable to the infeeti,,o of sn3am,
pox. Wt are informed, en good authority, that we
are indebted for this great blessing, under GOD, to the
visions Mr. Wilberforce, the venerable father of the
abolition of the Slave Trade. This great man, whose
labours are all directeJ to the promotion of human
happiness, when he learned that vaccination had not
been intieduced into Hay ti, expressly engaged Mr.
Prince Saunders, who was then On the point of em-
barking, to suspend his voyage, in order to gain in-
struction in the art of vaccination, for the sole purpose
of introdnang the blessing into Hayti.
[Here follow many expressions of gratitude to Mr.
Witberfotce, and many learned and ingenious obser-
vations on the benefits derivable from vaccination ;
and the duties of rulers to patronize and advance the
health and population of their dominions.)
