tantry ano itcadincss, ami, notwithstanding a determined opposition on the part or the enemy, carried the breaches. In the Course ot two hours, though vigorously defe nded at every gate-way 5 bastion, the whole rampart surrounding the town, together with the command ot the gates of the citadel, were in our posses cion; Major General Nicholls having moved his columns to the left, Until he tnct a detachment of his Majesty's Ulh foot, commanded by Major Everard, at Kombbccr gate. The citadel surrenderCd at about 4 o'clock. I regret to state, that the mine, having Exploded in an unexpected direction, several men of his Maicstv's 14th foot, at

J s the head of the column of attack, lost their lives, and Diigadicr General M'Combc, Brigadier PiUton, and Capt. Irvine, Maj. ol lltigade of Engineeis, icccivcd severe contusions. " Having directed Brigadier General Sleigh, commanding the cavalry, to pre cnt the escape of the enemy's troops af tcr the assault, I am happy to say that he made such disposition of Ids foiccS, that lie succeeded in securing Doorjun Sal, vho, with Ins wife, two sons, and a bundled sixty Chosen horse, attempted to force a passage through the eighth light Cavalry. " I cannot compute the loss of the enemy at less than four thousand killed, and, owing to the disposition of the cavalry, hardly a man, bearing arms, escaped ; , consequently, as by the surrender of the ! town, all the slot cs, arms, anu ammunitions, arc in our possession, I may say, that the whole military power of the Uhurtporc state has been annihilated The prisoners, after having been disarmed, were set free. "The returns of killed and wounded have not yet been received, but I am happy to be able to state that they arc few, considering the service on which the j troops have been employed, I, however, , transmit a return of the officers who have been reported. I regret the service has lost three valuable officers in capt. Armstrong, his Majesty's 14th, capt. Pitman, j hi Majesty's 59di, and Capt. Drown, of 5 HI st Reg. Native, Infantry, who Icll lea'.lb.-; their men on the nunparis ling adier General Edwards, who was wound k d, ga.iantly leading his brigade, is also, I fr, past iccovcrv. I have sent this despatch by my Aiddc- amp Capt. Dawkins, who will also j take two of the enemy s standards, ot Tnich 1 request your Lordship's acceptance, and in referring to Capt. Dawkins for any further inhumation which your Loidship may retpiirc, I beg to recommend him to your protection. 1 have the honor to be, See. comrlrmkre." The prosecution ot tins ISurmcso war has already cost the British Company thirteen millions sterling, and such is the state ot its aflYus that it is resorting to loans to support its vast expenditures ; wars moreover are breaking out in other parts of its neighbot ho; d and conquests, & some of ihas best acquainted with the foundations of i s power, think it is rapidly approaching a crisis w hich will prob'abl) result in its total overthrow.
