more than 10 or 12 killed, 17 wounded of his Majesty's 24th foot, 6 or 7 of 2d of 21st Native Infantry, about the same number of the 18th Native Infantry, and 16 of the Chumparun, light infantry battalion. The officers wounded are Major Hughes, his Majesty's 24th, in left arm; Capt. Smith, ditto, right knee, severely.

Lieutenant O'Leary, his Majesty's 24th, thigh, slightly; Captain Lindsey, artillery, right hand and thighs; and Lieutenant Des Veeux, Chumparun light infantry, severely in both thighs.

The enemy are said to have suffered severely.

On the forenoon of the 2d, the enemy evacuated the fort of Hurryhur. pore, and it was immediately taken possession of by our troops,

The fatigue of the brigade has been great, from the difficulty of getting the guns through the pass of Churreca-Ghauttie-range, but all the officers and men are in high health and spirits, and most anxious to get a sight of Nepaul.

zeal, gallantry, and perseverance, demand our warmest applause.

Your Honourable Committee will not fail to perceive, in the plan of operations adopted by Major-General Ochterlony, the same judgment, ability, and military skill, which have always characterised that officer's proceedings, and which, on the present occasion, supported by the bravery and discipline of the troops under his command, have enabled him to surmount difficulties of no ordinary magnitude, in passing the first range of hills, and to defeat the bold and desperate efforts of the enemy to oppose his subsequent progress.

The conduct of Colonel Kelly, in the command of the detached column directed against Hurryhurpore, is justly entitled to our high approba tion; and we have great satisfaction in pointing out to the notice of your Honourable Committee the testimony borne by Major-General Ochterlony and Colonel Kelly to the merits and services of Lieutenant-Colonel Miller, of his Majesty's 87th regiment; Lieutenant-Colonel Burnett, of the 8th regiment of Native Infantry; and Lieutenant-Colonel O'Halloran, of the 18th regiment of Native Infantry; and the other officers particularly mentioned in the enclosed reports.

calling the attention of the enemy to our movements, it appeared that a strong point, within about 800 yards of the stockade I mentioned, had been, neglected. This stockade runs upon the range and to the westward of the Hurryhurpore fort, supposed to be about 1000 yards from it, in form a semicircle, and the mountain nearly perpendicular to the extremities, two guns in it, and in all respects formidable.

As the occupation of this neglected point appeared to be of great moment, it was advisable to take it by surprise. I consequently ordered the light infantry companies of the brigade, with two companies of each of the following regiments, viz. his Majesty's 24th, 18th native infantry, Chumparun light infantry, and one company of the 2d battalion 21st native regiment, with two three-pounders, carried by bearers, to march at three o'clock yesterday morning, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel O'Halloran, who took pssession of the position a few minu. before six, dislodging a picquet lef 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 a few companies to support the rear of the position, which was threatened.

It was impossible, from the nature of the ground, to close or use the bayonet, and the musketry continued, without interruption, until half-past eleven o'clock, when the arrival of two six-pounders, and two five and a halfinch howitzers on elephants, in a few minutes decided the affair, and left us in possession of an almost natural redoubt, very advantageously situated for further operations.

I do myself the honour to enclose a list of killed and wounded, which,

considering the length of time the affair lasted, is not great. Amongst the wounded you will find Captain Lindsay, of the artillery; although his wounds are not severe, I fear I shall lose his active services for a time, which I lament exceedingly, having found Captain Lindsay a most zealous, able officer, both as an artillerist and engineer.

I am highly indebted to Lieutenant-Colonel O'Halloran for the able and officer-like manner in which he executed this duty; and nothing can possibly be more flattering or creditable than his report of the gallant conduct of the troops throughout.

From every report, it appears that the enemy have suffered severely; numbers of their killed are lying in all directions round the point of attack. Two or three hundred Goorkahs have been brought in, but they are, from the severity of their wounds, unable to speak or give intelligence.

The advanced position only admits nine companies, which, with a fieldofficer, I relieve every twenty-four hours. It will take some time to make the road for the heavy guns. We are, however, this day employed in getting up the twelve-pounders, 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 night and this morning interrupts our operations, but I hope it is about to clear.

I have the honour to be, &c.

(Signed) W. KELLY, Colonel.

P. S.-I have the highest gratification in announcing the occupation, by the advanced guard under the fieldofficer Major Robeson, of his Majesty's 24th regiment, of the stockade,

fort, and hill, which were evacuated some time this morning during the rain and thick weather by the Goorkah force under Ranjoor Kajee, who joined during the action of yesterday, and commanded.

(Signed) W. KELLY.
