[Killed, 76th regiment lieutenant D. Macrae, lieutenant C. M. Bland; 2d battalion, 15th regiment, lieutenant T. M'Gregor. Wounded, 75th regiment, captain W. Hessman, lieutenans T. Grant, J. C.

Addison; 2d ditto 22d ditto, lieutenants Watson, Day, Pollock; pioneers, lieutenant Gallaway (doing duty). The flank companies of the European regiment, lieutenants Morris and Watson, the former severely.] A letter of the 23d states, that the enemy's cavalry having attacked a convoy of provisions for the camp, about 5 coss from it, captain Walsh made a most gallant defence, until colonel Don arrived with a reinforcement, when he attacked and totally routed the enemy, taking 40 stand of colours and 4 guns, with all their stores,&c. Captain Gordon, of the 15th N. I. and cornet Erskine, of the 1st N. C. were the only officers wounded. We had 2 privates killed and 20 wounded. General Lake, on the 20th of February, made a fourth assault on Bhurtpore, and was again repulsed, owing again to the depth of the water in the ditch. Our force was divided into three parties; one, under capt. Grant, succeeded in the service assigned to it, and captured eleven of the enemy's guns. Another, under lieutenant-colonel Don, which was to mount the breach, but unable to pass the ditch, made a most gallant but effectual attempt to ascend a high and steep bastion; while the third party, under lieutenantcolonel Taylor, was, from the mistake of its guide, early exposed to a destructive fire, and compelled to retreat. On the 21st of February, general Lake made another assault with the whole of his European force, under the command of the honourable brig.-gen, Monsou. Our troops commenced the attack with the utmost gallantry, and per severed severed in it for a considerable length of time with the most determined bravery; but their utmost exertions were not sufficient to enable them to gain the top of the breach. The bastion, which was the point of attack, was extremely steep; the resistance opposed to them was vigorous; and as our men could only mount by small parties at a time, the advantages were very great on the side of the enemy. Discharges of grape, logs of wood, and pots filled with combustible materials, imme. diately knocked down those who were ascending; and the whole party, after being engaged in an obstinate contest for two hours, and suffering very severe loss, were obliged to relinquish the attempt, and retire to our trenches. [Killed, February 20th, his majesty's 75th regiment, lieutenant A. Stewart. Wounded, captain J. Nelly, lieutenant G.

A considerable force of Mahratta horse, under Holkar's enterprising general Meer Khan, having made a predatory excursion across the Jum na into the Doab; major-general Smith, was on the 14th February, sent in quest of them with three regiments of British cavalry, the horse artillery, and three regiments of native cavalry: after a most fatiguing pursuit, our troops frequently marching 30 miles a day, general Smith came up with the enemy on the 2d of March, near Ufulghur.That officer says, "I left the baggage of the detachment at Sherkot, with the rear guard, and the 3d regiment N. C. with its galloper guns, under the command of major Dove ton, for its protection, and with the remainder of the force under my command moved on to Ufulghur. After a march of 14 coss, we came in sight of the enemy at 2 p. m.They were drawn up in order of battle, and prepared to receive us. The detachment having forded a river in the face of the enemy, were formed into two lines. The advanced guard, under the command of captain Philpot, was intended for the protection of the right, and the irregular horse under Mr. Skinner, for the protection of the left flanks. As our army advanced, the enemy advanced also. Two bodies of cavalry, one led by Meer Khan, and the other by Shumahut Khan, attempted to penetrate our flanks, but were repulsed with loss. A body of Alee-Gholes moved on in a very daring manner upon our line; they were charged by squadrons of his majesty's 8th and 27th light dragoons, and were completely destroyed. After the destruction of the infantry, the cavalry of the enemy fled in every direction. They were pursued beyond the town of Ufulghur. The enemy's baggage had been sent off in the morning, when first they received intelligence of oar approach; their flight was therefore unencumbered, and the fatigue which our horses had sustained, the late hour of the day, and the nature of the country, prevented a farther pursuit. Above 30 of the enemy's colours fell into our hands; among the number, two golden standards, which were carried by the Yekus, a body of chosen men attached to the person of Meer Khan. Three of Meer Khan's principal sirdars were killed; two wounded, one of whom is now in our camp. Meer Khan himself escaped; but the best and bravest of his troops suffered. [ feel infinitely indebted to the whole of the officers and men under my command, for their gallant, steady, and praise-worthy conduct. I have the honour to inclose a return of our loss. The wounds received by the officers are, I am sorry to say, severe, but, I trust, not dangerous. I shall continue to pursue the enemy in whatever direction they may proceed. "John Smith, maj.-gen. Camp, six miles from Ufulghur, March 3. Total-Killed, 10 rank and file; wounded, 1 major, 2 captains, 1 lieutenant, 5 serjeants, 1 trumpeter, 37 rank and file.-Officers wounded, major Carden and captain Burke, 29th light dragoons; captain Gore, and lieutenant and adjutant Bunce, 27th light dragoons. Captain Hutchinson, in a letter dated Currawal, February 27, states his having, with 160 Sepoys, taken the fort of Bommon Gong, its gar. rison. comprising 300 men, having deserted it during the night, in consequence of a breach having been made, and the storming party formed in the ditch to make the assault in the morning.
