alluded to. With this small force, and two six-
pounders, the brave and gallant General snowed on
to the attack through the village, which bail been
sot on fire, and after making two unsuccessful as-
saults on the fort, in the third, whirr nobly cheering
on his men, within 30 yards of the gateway, he re-
ceived a mortal wound, and fell, most sincerely la-
mented end regretted by the whole army.
It is impossible for me to state particulars of the
asgaults which occurred; having been directed by
our lamented Chief to remain with two companies
of the 53d (which had been sent for to reinforce the
Table La 41), and two companies of native infantry,
to cover him, and protect the guns ou the batteries ;
but I must beg leave to refer his Lordship to Cap-
tain Byers, Aide-de-Camp to Major-General Gil.
lespie, for mom minute details than it is in my power
to state. Captain Byers left camp this morning, on
bis way to head-quarters, and I trust that the in.
formation he will be able to give his Lordship will
be most satisfactory.
The signal for the columns to move to the attack
was lint heard, either by Major Kelly, Capt. Fast,
or Captain Campbell.
It is impossible t can conclude this report with-
out espressing the highest satisfaction at the deter.
mined bravery of the troops employed yesterday.—
To particularize any would be doing an injustice to
the whole ; and I trust that this general expression
of avrobation will be equally satisfactory to all
concerned, as it is intended by me to convey, in the
f Ilest manner possible, the high sense I entertain or
C 0 zeal and courage of every Officer and soldier of
this army who were engaged yesterday.
Inclosed I have the honour to transmit a return of
the ktiled and wounded; and have the honour to
be, &c.

P. S. I am apprehensive many circumstances which
have occurred, have been left out in my report, from
the many interruptions I have experienced, and the
multiplicity of h..4iness I at present experience from
the command 01 this force, as well as that of the
2d division of the field army devolvi►►g on me, but
which I shall correct the moment I discover any ; and
I must crave his Lordship's iudulgeuce in this par-
ticular.

Since writing the above, I perceive I forgot to
mention having ordered a Littering train from
Delhi, to move with all possible expedition towards
Seharunpore. It will have to pass the Timly pass,
as that of Kerri Is not practicable fur heavy guns.
