Copy of Letter from Maj. Gen. Sir Arch. Campbell, K.C.B., to Geo. Swinton, Esq., Sec. to Bengal Government, dated Head-Quarters, Camp, on the Heights of Napadee, Dec. 5, 1825.

Sir: In my despatch of yesterday I mentioned my intention of attacking the enemy's right wing, under Sudda Woon, posted on the west bank of the Irrawuddy. Having concerted measures with his Excellency Commodore Sir James Brisbane, I directed Brig. Gen. Cotton to cross the river in the course of last night, with the division under his command, and, if possible, to land above the position occupied by the enemy. This the Brig. Gen. effected, and I had the pleasure early in the morning of seeing my orders carried into the fullest effect, as detailed in the letter herewith inclosed.

I have, &c. A. CAMPBELL, Maj. Gen.

Copy of Letter from Brig. Gen. Cotton, to Maj. Gen. Sir Arch. Campbell, K.C.B., commander of the forces.

Sir: You did me the honour of placing a proportion of the division under my command this morning, with orders ro attack and dislodge the right wing of the enemy's army, situated in a series of stockades on the right bank of the river. The details were as follows:-250 Royal regt.; 270 H. M.'s 41st regt. ; 260 H.M.'s 89th regt.; Lt. Comp. 28th Madras N.I.; 100 pioneers.

This operation was performed in conjunction with the navy and flotilla, and, I am happy to add, was attended with the most complete success. The enemy retired from their stockades on the river from the severe fire from four howitzers and some rockets, ably directed by Lieuts. Paton and Seton, of the Bengal artillery; but, on taking possession of them, it was discovered they had a stockaded work about half a mile in the interior, completely manned and occupied by guns. Brig. Armstrong, Col. Brodie, and Col. Godwin immediately moved upon its centre and right, and I took the royals to the left, and the work was carried instantly, the enemy leaving three hundred dead on the field, and dispersing in every direction. I have sent in several prisoners, and from three hundred to three hundred and fifty muskets were broken by my men, having been abandoned by the enemy. I have set fire to the whole of their defences, and have only to add my warmest acknowledgments to Brig. Armstrong, who commanded the advance; to Col. Brodie, who had charge of the light companies; and Col. Godwin, who commanded the reserve; and to every officer and man who was engaged. The adj. general's and quart. mast. general's staff, under Capts. Hitchings and Steele, and my own personal staff, Capt. Wainwright, 47th regt., and Lieut. Wilson, 13th Light Inf., I venture to bring to your notice for their zeal on this and every other occasion. The artillery taken consisted of one eighteen pounder carronade, and five others, from four to six pounders, with a large quantity of jingals.-The operations of this day naturally connecting me with his Majesty's navy and the flotilla, I hope it will not be construed into presumption my venturing to bring to your excellency's notice the most cordial co-operation and valuable assistance I derived from his Exc. Commodore Sir James Brisbane, who directed personally the whole of the boats who cannonaded and cleared the advance of the troops from their disembarking above their position to their entering the enemy's works.-I am happy to say this service was performed with the trifling loss of one man killed, and four wounded.

I have, &c. W. COTTON, B. G.

The following despatches, relating to the anterior operations, are not included in the Gazette: they are here subjoined, from the Calcutta Government Gazette. To George Swinton, Esq. Sir:-In continuation of my letter of yesterday, J much regret to state for the information of the

right hon. the Gov. Gen. in Council, that the important movement therein contemplated could not be carried into effect, owing to the enemy's superior force and the strength of his positions.

The point upon which the different corps were directed to move was the village of Watty-goon, distant from Prome twenty miles, where my information led me to suppose a body of only two thousand five hundred Shams and Burmese were assembled, and from the easterly position they had chosen, with the apparent purpose of harassing our right flank in advancing, or of falling into our rear, annoying the garrison of Prome, and endeavouring to intercept our communication with that place.

For the purpose of dislodging this force (as I yesterday did myself the honour of stating), I placed two brigades of Madras N. I. under the command of Col. McDowall, directing him to approach the enemy's position at Watty-goon, with three regts. of N.I, so as to assail his left flank, while Maj. Evans with the 22d N.I., was ordered to move upon the front of the position, and to attack in concert with the main body; I also moved forward the 18th N.I. to the ground left by the 22d, to be in readiness to afford support to the latter corps if required. The uncertain state of the roads and country did not permit of the columns being accompanied by artillery.

The 22d N.I. came upon the enemy's position at Watty-goon, and Maj. Evans, from the firing on his right, considering Col. McDowall's column in the act of attacking, gallantly moved forward to take his share in the engagement, but finding himself mistaken in that point, and the enemy much too numerous and strongly posted to be assaulted by a single regt., he deemed it prudent to retire, which appears to have been done with steadiness and regularity.

The columns under Col. McDowall's immediate command, approached the position of Wattygoon by the left flank, as directed, and reached that point, after a sharp conflict with the enemy's troops in advance, but the apparent strength of the position, and his very superior numerical force, did not, in the opinion of the senior officers, warrant an assault with the means at their disposal, and a retreat was determined on, in the course of which the 38th N.I., which had been delayed by unforeseen and untoward circumstances, came in most opportunely upon the enemy's flank, and materially checked his following up our retreating column.

I have to lament the loss of a good and worthy officer in Lieut. Col. Com. McDowall, and several other brave officers and soldiers, as will appear by the list of killed and wounded; but it affords me peculiar satisfaction to observe by the concurring testimony of the officers employed, and the official reports of commanding officers herewith transmitted, that the troops engaged conducted themselves with that steadiness and valour which has ever eminently distinguished the sepoys of the Madras army. I have, &c.

(Signed) A. CAMPBELL, Maj. Gen. Head-Quarters, Prome, 18th Nov. 1825.

To the Deputy Adjutant General to the Forces Sir: In conformity with the orders received on the 14th Inst., from the Quart. Mast. General's department, I have the honour to acquaint you, for the information of Gen. Campbell, K. C. B., that I moved with the Regt. from our encampment on the Nullah at eight o'clock on the night of the 15th, to co-operate with Lieut. Col. Com. McDowall, in a simultaneous attack upon that part of the enemy's force reported to be in the vicinity of, or at the village of Wattygoon. At twelve o'clock p. m. the guide reported that we were not far from the advance guard of the enemy, on which I halted till about four o'clock, when I again advanced, and at about six came up with a body, stated by the guide to be their advanced piquet, consisting of about 500 men, on whom I commenced a skirmishing attack, following them through the jungle on either side the road."

During this operation we heard a heavy firing in front to the right, which conceiving to be Col. McDowall's column driving in the enemy on his side, I expedited my advance, covered by the light company under Capt. Bird.

On coming to an opening in a very thick part of the jungle, which the guide pointed out as the entrance to the enemy's position, I found my advance checked by a very heavy fire, on which I

immediately formed the regiment into line in rear of the advance, and as much to the right as the jungle would admit of.

Conceiving the check experienced by the light company to be caused by a body of the enemy drawn up for the defence of this entrance to their position, I brought up two companies to its support, with a view of forcing the passage, bringing my regt. into line upon their position, and commencing an attack, in conjunction with that I hoped to find Col. McDowall making on their main body.

On coming up with these two companies I found myself under a heavy, well-directed, and destructive fire, from what appeared to be a bastion of a fortified position.

I found the leading subdivision of the light company nearly annihilated, and both the officers of that company wounded; that the men of the other companies were falling in numbers, and perceiving no indication that my hopes of a conjoint attack on the other side were correct, together with the guide's report that the enemy were 5,000 strong, supported by cavalry, I determined to retire.

The regt. marched off in good order, and was almost immediately pursued by a strong body of the enemy.

On gaining some ground, I thought it advisable to reform my line to check their advance. Seeing that the fire from the right wing which was first formed had the desired effect, and that the left was well locked up, I resolved on continuing my march, apprehensive that should the other columns of attack not have shewn themselves, the main body, with the cavalry, might have been brought to act against me.

We then continued our march without interruption, the enemy following with great boldness, and galling our rear for about three miles, during which operation we suffered severely in killed and wounded; those unable to move, with assistance of the latter, I regret to say, we were unavoidably obliged to leave on the ground.

The regiment, though considerably exhausted from marching all night, and the operations of the day, marched in good united order till we were within five or six miles of camp, when unfortunately, from the want of guides, all of whom made off at the commencement of the affair, we took a wrong road, the direction of which we followed for about five miles. On retracing our steps we met two sepoys of the 18th N. I. who thinking to lead us by a short road into Capt. Ross's camp, brought us through a deep swamp and jungle, which caused our having many stragglers, and prevented our arriving in our position till four in the evening, the regt. having been under arms for twenty hours.

I think it my duty to state to you, for the General's information, my entire satisfaction at the constancy and perseverance with which the regt. sustained itself under the very heavy and destructive fire from the enemy's work, until they received my orders to move off, and the steady manner in which they retired under the enemy's galling fire.

I beg particularly to recommend to the General's notice the conduct of Capt. Bird and Lieut. Darby, who were both wounded with the light comp., and I am much indebted to the whole of the officers for their assistance and support under such trying circumstances.

Lieut. Hay, though severely wounded, continued with his company till the enemy had ceased to interrupt our march.

To Lieut. and Adj. Bird I feel particularly indebted for the very active and useful aid I derived from him during the whole of these operations.

Lieut. D'Monmorency, of the Quart.-Mast. General's department, who conducted my march, displayed much gallantry and zeal in this affair, being almost constantly in advance under the enemy's fire.

I have the honour to transmit herewith a return of our loss, which I am sorry to say is very severe. Thirty-seven wounded men were brought into camp, although all the dooley bearers, with the exception of one set, ran off during the action.

Many of those reported missing fell into the rear from exhaustion during our long and harassing march.

The pain I still feel from my wound, and the amputation of my finger, will, I hope, plead my excuse for any inaccuracy in this report, as well as

for my not having made it immediately on coming to my ground last evening. I have, &c. (Signed) R. LACEY EVANS, Maj, Comg. 22d Regt. M. N. I. Camp, Zecoup 17th Nov., 1825.

To Lieut. Col. Tidy, Dep. Adj. Gen.

Sir: I have the honour to state for the information of the Commander of the forces, that the force under the command of the late Brig. McDowall, marched from this on the evening of the 15th at 6 o'clock P. M. and had proceeded about 12 miles, when the advanced guard, under Capt. Coyle, 28th Regt, fell in with a party of the enemy, to the number of 100 or 150 men, apparently advancing. After the exchange of a few shots, during which two sepoys were wounded, the enemy were driven back with loss, as we afterwards ascertained by seeing on our return 3 bodies on the spot where the affair took place.

After crossing a nullah, the troops were halted for about an hour and a half, after which we proceeded forward, and heard a shout from a party of the enemy, who had occupied a village about 4 miles from the spot we had halted at.

About daybreak a bugle was heard a considerable distance to our left, and about half past seven it was again heard, and shortly after a heavy firing commenced from the spot where the bugle sound was heard, which was then answered by our bugles; we then advanced as rapidly as possible for about the space of an hour, during which the firing continued on the left, principally musketry, but latterly of heavy guns also, when we discovered the enemy in front, to which we were advancing; six comps. from the 28th were ordered as a flanking party to the right, when a severe conflict took place the enemy being in great force and provided with jingals and muskets, disputed every inch of ground with great resolution. About this period, Capt. Coyle was wounded in the arm by a musket ball, and a contusion on the breast by a spent jingal ball. After proceeding in this manner about 4 miles, the 43d Regt. was ordered to take the place of the 28th, which was in front of the column, and proceeded fighting their way for about a mile, when they unexpectedly arrived in front of some strong works, from which a well-directed and heavy fire was kept up. The Grenadier Comp. under Ens. Elsey, 43d, was ordered to advance to that part of the works from which the heaviest fire proceeded, to endeavour to keep it under, on which service it advanced with the most deter mined resolution; but on arriving near works, the firing became so heavy and galline that it was found necessary to return. At thig time, I regret to state, Brig. McDowall was shos in the head by a musket ball and died immediately t and nearly at the same moment, Lients. Manning; Ranken, and Ens. Elsey, 43d Regt., were obliged, to be brought away, being all severely wounded. Lieut. Ranken, I am sorry to say, is since dead of his wounds.

th"

Unprepared as the force was with means for assault, I found it necessary, after taking the advice of the sen. officers, to direct the retreat to be sounded, the rear guard commanded by Capt. Wiggins, assisted by Capt. McLeod, who, in a most gallant and judicious manner covered the retreat, which was made in as regular a manner as circumstances and the nature of the country would admit of, being a complete jungle, and under a severe and heavy fire from great numbers of the enemy who were in the jungle, and on our right and left, nearly surrounding our column and threatening to cut off our retreat, assisted by numerous bodies of cavalry, to the number of 500 or 600.

After a dreadful harassing march of ten miles, which, during the latter part, was rendered still more distressing by the men dropping on the road from fatigue having rested only an hour and a half since their departure from Prome, we at length reached a river, or large nullah, about nine miles from Prome, which having crossed, I allowed the troops, for about an hour (the enemy had left pursuing us), when we proceeded, and arrived at Prome at about half past seven last evening.

I am sorry to say, from the want of a greater number of doolies, and absolute exhaustion of the bearers, notwithstanding the exertion of the sepoys and the officers giving their horses to bring in the wounded, &c., I was obliged to leave the dead and s me wounded men in the rear.

I feel it the greatest pleasure in making known to the commander of the forces, that the conduct of both officers and men deserves every praise, especially for their conduct during so harrassing a retreat their exertions were unremitted.

I am particularly indebted to Capt. Wiggins, commanding 43d regt., and Capt. McLeod, for the able manner they covered the retreat, also to Capt. White, ass. qr.-mas. gen., and Capt. Johnston, M. B., Capt. Coyle was, I am sorry to say, wounded early in the action, whereby I was deprived of the service of that valuable officer during the retreat, and the command of the regt. devolving on Capt. Bell: his conduct and exertions deserve my best thanks. Mr. Assist. Surg. Sutherland, of the 28th, deserves every praise for his attention to the wounded: in his attention to the men he was unremitting, as also Mr. Assist. Surg. Cumming, 43d, who was equally so.

I reckon the enemy, from the very large bodies I saw in different parts of the jungle, to amount to at least to 10 or 12,000 Inf., and every way well armed.

Enclosed is a list of the killed and wounded, &c. of the two regts. under my command.-I have, &c. CHARLES BROOK, Lieut.-Col., 28th Regt. Prome, 17th Nov., 1825.

To Lieut.-Col. Tidy, Dep. Adj.-Gen. of the Forces. Sir: I have the honor to report, for the information of the commander of the forces, that, in obedience to orders, I marched from camp at Thomba-la, with the 38th Madras N. I. at 7 P. M. on the 15th inst., and arrived near to the village of Saagie, at four o'clock next morning; here the guides refused to proceed from not being able to find the road in the dark. and was obliged to wait until daylight, and only reached Saagie at 6 A. M. 16th inst., I was induced to make this movement in preference to proceeding by the direct route to Wattygoung, in the hope of finding Col. Mc Dowall's detachment, whose bugles were heard near this place, and also on account of my being too late to proceed direct to Wattygoung, which I could not hope to reach before twelve o'clock.

On arriving at the village of Saagie, I heard some firing in the direction of Wattygoung, and which appared about seven miles distant;-the reports becoming heavier and more frequent, I proceeded towards Wattygoung at seven o'clock, and came up with the firing at twelve o'clock; here I observed the enemy in considerable numbers, consisting of cavalry and infantry, with jingals and small guns. I directed the light company to advance in front and skirmish with what appeared to be the rear of the enemy. while the regt. emerged from the narrow road in the jungle and formed column of companies when they proceeded to the attack. the light infantry ceasing firing and joining the regt.; the enemy were so much taken by surprise that they fled before the regt. could reach them, having only lost a few men by the firing of the light infantry.

The enemy's cavalry having made some movements, which I thought indicated an attack on the regt., I formed square, and remained for some time in this position, repeatedly sounding the bugles to attract the attention of Col. Mc Dowall's detachment, but without effect, as no answering sounds were heard; the firing, which on our arri

val had been very heavy, now entirely ceased; and not being able to ascertain the position of the detachment, I had no option left but to retreat, or permit myself to be surrounded by an overwhelming force, without hopes of succour or subsistence of any kind. I therefore commenced my retreat about one o'clock, and as I heard no more firing on either part, I trust the diversion made by the 38th N. I. in favour of Col. McDowall's detachment, suggested and arranged by the commander of the forces, was effected, although from the badness of the roads, and the distance being much greater than expected, not precisely in the manner dictated to me; the retreat was effected without any opposition by the enemy, and the regt. reached the village of Sanagie at 4 P.M., 16th inst., halted two hours, and marched into Prome at 7 o'clock A.M., 17th inst.

The nature of the duty in which the regt. was employed did not afford an opportunity of dis tinguishing itself by any shining military exploit, except that the light company, under Capt. Dowden and Lieut. Willis dashed down upon the ene my in a most spirited style, and retreated, and ceased firing upon the signal being given, in the most orderly manner, and the whole of the regt. prepared for action with zeal and alacrity as well as the best order. I must, in justice to the regt., beg leave to call your attention to the severe and harrassing march endured by the corps throughout the whole affair. in which the officers and men bore almost total want of rest for two nights and one day with the greatest patience and cheerfulness. I have, &c.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, April 7. Juries in India Bill-On the motion for receiving the report on this bill,

Mr. Hume said, he wished to make a few observations on the bill. There was one clause which gave to the judges the power of selecting natives to serve as jurers. He thought it would be better to enact distinctly that one-half of the jury should be natives. It would be desirable

that the regulations acted upon by the judges in each presidency, with reference to the selection of jurors, should be transmitted to this country. The subject would thus be frequently brought under consideration, and could not fail to be productive of good effects. He would recommend that the judges should appoint juries to assess damages, as was the case here. Something should be also done towards ameliorating the condition of the half castes, who were now excluded from

almost

almost every situation of honour or of profit.

Mr. W. Wynn said, he feared that great inconvenience would arise from adopting the suggestion of the hon. member. With respect to a regular return of the regulations acted upon by the judges in each presidency, he saw no necessity for it. It would answer every purpose if it should be produced occasionally upon motion. It would not be wise, under existing circumstances, to allow natives to sit as jurors on the trial of Christians. Though the half castes were excluded from the Company's service, they were, in many instances, taken into the service of the King, in which some distinguished themselves, and rose to the highest rank. This bill was passed April 10. April 26.

Mr. Hume

Affair at Barrackpoor. begged to know from the right hon. the President of the Board of Control, whether he intended to lay before the House any details respecting the despatch of the Commander-in-chief in India, or the investigation ordered as to the late melancholy transactions at Barrack poor in India?

Mr. Wynn said he had received such a despatch as that alluded to, and did not think it expedient to place that information on the table of the House.

Mr. Bright inveighed against the principle on which the Burmese war had commenced, and the expense and waste of blood by which it was carried on.
