The whole brigade marched from thence. 12. 4th battalion Sepoys arrived at Corah. 16. 2d battalion alfo got there. 19. I ft, 6th, and 7th battalions joined at this rendezvous. 25. Colonel Leflie joined his detachment, having left Futty-Ghurr nine davs before. Ivlay 5. The ift battalion filed off for Culpee. 8. 4th ditto followed. 9. Major Baillie arrived with part of the artillery, and moft of the ftores, with the 5th battalion. II. Colonel Leflie arrrived with the 6th and 7th battalions, and artillery park. All the ftores ajid treafure arrived at Corah. 16. ift fquadron of cavalry, 2d battalion, and fome carriages with ammunition. 19. 5th battalion marched from Corah w'ith remainder of the ftores, for which bullocks were fent back. iV. B. Culpee from Corah is about twenty cofs. May 19. ift, 4th, and 7th battalions crofted the Jumnah in boats. The pafs of the river was covered by two 1 2 pounders, and two howitzers placed on the heights on the eaft bank of the river, under the direftion of Major Baillie : about two thoufand Maharatta horfe, under the command of Gungodar, oppofed us. B The S57357 2 AjOURNALof M^ 19. The 12 pound fhot and Ihells did fome execution amongft them, wherever they fhevved themfelvcs out of the ravines. As roon as the troops were crofled. Major Fullarton, with four grenadier companies, advanced in hind about tour hun- dred yards, to drive the enemy out of an hollow way they occupied, and had orders to make the befl of his way to the left of the town and fort, which were fituated on a height, and about a mile from the place where the troops crofled. Thefe four companies had not advanced above the fifth part of the way towards the fort, when they were attacked by about five hundred Maharattas, who made by fmall parties feveral briik attacks on them, and attempted to furround the party; but the 4tii battalion having been detached to fupport it, made thofe banditti fet off with great precipitation. This fkirmlfH lafled near ten minutes. We had fevcn Sepoys wounded. The enemy had fix men killed, and about fifteen wounded, and fix horfes killed ; eleven died of their wounds. Our grenadiers, two companies ifl: battalion, and two companies 4th battalion, in general behaved well ; thofe of the ifl: batta- lion threw away their fire utuieccflarily, and were not near fa fteady as thofe of the 4th. The latter deferved the greateft encomiums that could have been bellowed on good foldiers. In confequence of this IkirmKh the fort and town, without a garrhbn or inhabitants, fell into our hands. Colonel Leflie and Lieut. Col. Goddard were both with the line when the 4th battalion was diredled to advance in fupport of the grena- diers — I was diredled to remain at the eaft fide of the Jumnah with three battalions, the cavalry and treafure. Mayiy. The 5th and 6th battalions crofled to Culpee. June 2. The 2d battalion with the treafure crofled. 3. The regiment of cavalry crofled. At two o'clock this morning the ifl:, 4th, 6th and 7th, batta- lions marched from Culpee. Our encampment at this place being on the moft irregular ground, fcarce any thing to be feen, but hillocks of concker, the road very narrow, with high banks at each fide, rendered our march exceeding flow, which with the dlfl^culty of forming from the left, in fuch a. road, leading out nearly from our center, detained us not lefs than three hours. The badnefs alio of the draft bullocks were no fmall addition to the delay. — We then proceeded through a country, of all I ever law themofl: fingidar ; hil- locks the BoMB^*? DfiTAcrfMENT, 1778. 3 June 2. locks of naked concker attrafted furprize, in the moft irregu- lar forms, and as far as the eye could reach not a tuft of ver- dure was to be fcen, which the fcorching heat I'eemed to have totally excluded. We zigged-zagged fometimes at the top, Ibmctimes at the lides and bottom of thofe crufty hillocks. We had about five miles of this unpleafing fcene to pali ; after which we afcended into an excluded place, that afforded us a prolpect of a more flattering nature, and wore an appear- ance of plenty. About feven o'clock we got to the only well (a pucka one) that we had feen by the way, but unfortunately it had been ftopped up, and not a drop of water could be had ; we conti- nued our march with the greateft apprehenfions of a total de- feat of. this moft eflcntial article to fupport nature. About nine o'clock we faw two villages : the one on the right, at a mile and a half diftance from the road, is called Chouk ; that on the left, about half a mile. — A few beafts brought fome D-^u/UXu bags of water to the line ; but the ftruggles of the men who were fo prefTmgly eager to get at it, rendered it of very little ler- vice. From the above period, until we arrived at Murgong, only eight cofs from Culpee, was exhibited a moft moving and morti- fying fcene — Thelcorching hot winds, with the intenfe heat of the fun, on a dry extenfive plain, from eight o'clock to a quarter paft eleven, expofed us to fufferings of the luperlative degree; about twenty Sepoys dropped down quite exhaufted for want of water ; feveral dogs and other animals gafped their lafl: ; not lefs than fifteen or twenty of our followers Ihared the like fate, and twenty officers were taken fick merely from the bad effects of this ridiculous march ; for without the fhadow of an enemy to obftrucl us, or the badnefs of the road (which no aiore than fifty biklars would have levelled in four hours ) we might have fuffered annihilation. At Murgong we found fourteen or fifteen wells; had the enemy ftopped them up, which could have been eafily effected, we muft have pufhed on in the heat of the day for this place, after being on the road upwards of nine hours, ere we could have got a drop of water. This place (on the banks of the Betawah Nullah) is about nine miles from JMurgong. Captain James Crawford, one of the beft fepoy officers in the army, loft his life by this day's fatigue ; he was juftly and feel- ingly lamented by the moft unthinking of us. Had the road been properly explored that lay under our nofes B 2 during 4 A J O U R N A L of June 1 dmlng 14 days we had to dedicate to this bufinefs, frora tlic day ot' the Iklrmilh to that on which wc marched from Cul- pee, nothing of this fort could have happened ; or even had the fmalleft precaution been taken about a fupply of water, wc fliould not have had reafon to torm lo very indifferent an. opinion of the ablHties of thofe to whofe negl(>n it was owing.. 8 The ifV, 4th, 6th and 7th b;irtaHons marched from Murgong to Jetalpour, nine miles, whicji i.s a well built town. The houfes of brick pucha-vvork, with tyled roofs ; it is clofe on the S. W. bank of the Betawah Nullah. The road is toler- able good, but not a tree to be I'een the whole way. This river takes its fource from a lake an hundred and forty miles S. S. W. of this, called Saugre Lake ; it empties Iflelf into the Jumnah, near Bibbipour, within nine cols of this. The bed of it is gravel, about two feet deep : the water is delight- fully clear, and exceedingly wholefome. 12. Lieut. Aprichard died of the gout, univerfally lamented as a good man and an excellent officer. The banks are between 50 and 70 feet perpendicular height,, moftly concker. 14. Enfign Dartiquunknave died. 15. 2d and 5th battalions, with the regiment of cavalry, and the remainder of the artillery park, arrived from Culpee and Mur- gong- 16. The whole detachment marched at half pad: 11 o'clock at night to Belah river, encamped at Bellgong, about nine miles ; the road was exceeding good, except the firft two miles, which, as ulual, was broken ground, with hollow ways, &c. This river takes its fouree from the Belah Cublal, or Belah Lake, eighteen cofs from Bellgong, runs into the Betawah Nullah, five miles below that place. 19. Marched to Chounic, on the banks of the Belah-. river : nine miles lix furlongs by the perambulator from Belgong. 20. Mr. Walter Gold died ; he was Commiflary of Mufters. 19, 20. Greatly diftrefled for provifions, not having had any previous ftock laid in, and entirely depending on accidental fupply. The thermometer at the eaft fide of the river, in my tent, never exceeded 102 degrees: but at Chounic, on the weft fide of the Belah, it was in my tent from twelve o'clock till half paft four in the afternoon, 107^ degrees, on the 1 9th and 20th June ; nor has the thermometer been lower than 88 at any one time fincc the middle of May, Other the Bombay Detachment, 1778. 5 Taw^ 20. Others fay their thcmometers have been up to 114 and I I 7. Probably the difference of a fly and purpet lining to a rent may amount to this ; but what is ftill more lingular, for many nights the hot winds have blown conrtantly aud the thermometer has been from 95 to too. This is a mofl: difagreeable phaenomenon ; becaufe you have not at night grafs blinds fiipplicd with water, as in the day. Thefe blinds are watered out of leather bags, which is thrown in fuch a manner as to wet the outward lurface of the grafs. The wind and air are filtered through the water, and conveys a coollnefs fcarce credible. I have found bv the thermometer a difference of ten degrees, in as many niinutes,. after, the ap- plication of this fuigular method. 22. At one o'clock the whole marched to Rhaat, about nine miles, after quitting the broken banks of the river Belah. The road was exceedingly good ;■ a fine country ; evejy foot of which feemed to have been cultivated. About five miles from this we pafled through a very fine, as well as an extenfive wood, that would have held the whole detachment. We encamped near a fort, with five Cavaliers of pucka brick-work ; plenty of water, and uo want of pro- vlfions. 23. Halted. 24. At one o'clock this morning the whole marched to Carroo- fah, which is fituated at the foot of an high rock, with a tank to the louthward, on an extenfive plain, interfperfed to the S. E. with hills, called the Mahobah Hills. We marched about ten miles an indifi^erent road ; pafled one river (the Be- lah) and over the beds of two or three others. Good water and plenty of provifions. It rained mofl of the night. 25. Half paft twelve o'clock at night marched to Coolphari, twelve miles. The road very tolerable. The country Jungly interlperled by hills of a reddilh clay, with blackiih rocks. ■ 26. Halted. Gloomy weather, cool and agreeable for marching. 27. Half paft twelve o'clock at night marched to Powiah, fourteen miles. At a fmall village about four miles to the N. E. of it, is a fmall pals called Soupah to the eaftward, and juft as you get out of the pals, there is a hiU about half way between the bafe and the fummlt. Half paft one o'clock marched to Sirinagur, fsven miles and three quarters 6 AJOURNALof Junei-j. quarters. We lofl our road for two hours, owing to the bad- nefs of the Harcarrah. Sirinagur is a pucka fort of (tone, on a hill of a commanding height ; lias a tank to the fouthward, and ditch and bank furrounding the other parts of it. This fort and the environs belong to Ballali Row, to whom Hoadooput gave it for fome fignal fervices. 29 & 30. Hnltc-d, July I. Half palt twelve o'clock at night marched to Malleraii, eleven miles — paffed a fmall nullah, called Soupan ; road about it very inditterent — did not get to our ground till half pall leven ' o'clock. 3. Half pall: twelve o'clock at night marched to the fouth (ide of Ch;)tterpour, eleven miles ; did not get to our ground till half pafl eight o'clock. 9. Some hundreds of our park cattle having been taken olT from the vicinity of our camp, where they were grazing by the Bundila cavalry, in the fervice of Amrod Sing, the prefent Bundle Cund Rajah : thefe people are armed with a fpear and match-lock. Our Condahariau horfe were as foon as poifible difpatchcd after them, who loon recovered the bullocks, killed three or four of the enemy, feized five or fix of their horfes, and returned at twelve o'clock the lame night. 10. 5th, 6th, and yth battallions were ordered to march to attack the city of Mow, fituated ten miles to the N. N. W. of this place : 5th and 7th with their artillery formed the main body. The 6th battalion with two twelve pounders marched in the rear, with the firfl regiment of cavalry, under the command of Captain Alhe. The Condaharian cavalry were direcled to march on our left flank, and to fend Imall parties to crols our line in front to cut oft all people who might give notice to the enemy of our approach : this was to be done at a dilfance of half a mile from us ; the whole was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Goddard. We found the roads greatly broke up and worfe than was reprelented. A fudden fall of rain obliged us to unfix bayonets and fecure. About half paft five o'clock, we got within about a mile of Mow. Some of our people feeing a I'mall Mofque to the right, went clofe to it, and were fired at : two companies were inftautly diipatched to take poffef- lion of it. Colonel Goddard being in front. Lieutenant Colo- nel Parker led the line ; and as a great noife ran through the bat- talions, every one near him even to a fepoy, did not fcruple to give their opinion what was to be done on the occafion. He there- the Bombay Detachment, 1778, f July 10. therefore halted till Lieutenant Lucas had with the two com- panies executed his orders, which he found no difficulty, and fhortlj took the poft. We advanced and had fcarce got a-breaft of the mofque when a gun was fired from a very lofty hill. The fhot fell very near the line. We difcovered from hence the wall that nearly furrounded the town. It confifts of a very ftrong rampart, about three feet and a half high, with a parapet of the fame dimenlions, as far as it extends, has innumerable loop holes, and might make a powerful refinance againftmufquetry. A chain of hills, of which the one before mentioned is the higheft, runs from eaft to weft, and about the diftance of a mulket fhot from the wall. The main road pafled through an accidental breach in the wall, under the fire of the gun on the hill, and turned to the left at the foot of it. — Round into the town, a large tank extending clofe to the road, formed a very ftrong pafs,with thefe rocky heights fhelving off^to a bluff point over the road ; on which, and the whole way on the fummit, were ftationed match-lock and rocket-men with ginjalls, alfo on the road between the tank and tlie hill, and a five pounder played on the breach. Colonel Goddard advanced with the van guard. The gun on the hill played on us as faft. they could load. Colonel Goddard entered the breach, and was fired at by people on the wall, which rofe to the fummit of a fmall hill on the left. The tumbril ftlcking in the breach, we made towards an opening in the wall on the height to the left. Colonel Goddard having the inftant before got pofleffion of it, directed us to come through the breach : the tumbril] ftill fticking. We paffed it in an Indian file. The fire from the ridges of hills in front and the guns was tolerably fevere. Three companies of the 7th battalion had fcarce got in, when Colonel Goddard ordered Lieutenant Colonel Parker to attack the poft in front : he faid afterwards he meant that of the pals at the foot of the hill. He immediately advanced to the moft acceflible part of the oppofite hills, where we crawled up on our hands and feet. The rear of the line which had pufliedon brifkly to fupport us, began firing from. the foot of the hill, at the enemy on the top. Unluckily they could not be timelv reftrained, lo that in fact we were expofed to two fires. How- ever with a good deal of difficulty the height was gained, and thofe that defended it were moft of them killed : this opened the road to^'^fhe town. 'Colonel Goddard puftiing on rather before this could be efFcfted, received a very fevere fire in the pafs. 9 AJOURNALof '^uiy 10 pafs, and had his horfe fliot under him in two places. He forced his way into the town, and purfued the flying enemy, took four or five guns in the town ; and as he advanced about five hundred yards, a fecond range of hills prefented them- felves, oil which were two guns ; a few of the enemy re- mained to defend them ; but after feme Ihot, they took to the plain, nnd the whole made off : had the cavalry been up at this mftant, few of the enemy would have efcaped. The Condaharian horfe loft their way. The firft regiment of cavalry did not get orders to advance until the enemy had taken. to the plain for fome time. We had native officers of Sepoys lix killed and nineteen wounded.: Britilh offi- cers .none, except one Lieutenant Grant, and one non-com- miflioned officer wounded. Of the enemy, as near ai can be guefled one hundred and fixty were killed and wounded, befides thofe we buried, and thofe who were fo badly wounded as to fall into our hands. The enemy had twelve hundred infantry and lix hundred cavalry ; nine five-pounders ordnance fell into our hands with tumbrels, fome ammunition and powder. The Sepoys on this fevere fervice behaved with great fpirit and refolution. The irregularity entirely proceeded from too great eagernefs to engage, which a little pradice muft annihi- late. * * ORDERS ifTued by Lieutenant Colonel Goddard, at Mow, July lo, 1778. It is with moft pnrticular fatisfaclion that Colonel Goddard takes this opportunity of expreffing his warmcll: iipprobatian, and returning his thanks to Lieutenant Colonel jPar- ber, the Captains, and all the officers and men, for their fpirited and refolute conduiSl in the attack of this morning, from which he derives certain and favour;ible hopes of future fuccefs. He has reprefented their bthaviour to Colonel Leflie, and has the happincls to convey his fincere thanks to the troops on this occafion. The troops to parade immediatclv, in order to return to camp at Chatterpour, excepting the 5th battalion, with the guns belonging to it ; which is to remain under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Parker, who will pleafe to give fuch dircdtions, and take poll: in fuch manner as he may judge for the fecurity and prefervation of the place. One hundred Condaharian horfc are ordered to join Lieut. Col. Parker; and he is re- quefted to make every inquiry in his power, and procure all the grain and provifion he can for the fupply of the army. The guns taken in Mow are to proceed with the artillery, unlcfs Captain Karris has not been able to provide fufficient carriage for thtm j in which cafe he will leave them be- hind with Lieutenant Colonel Parker. Had the Bombay Detachment, 1778. 9 _5'«/)/ 1 1. Had a confirmation of Captain Monro's death. He was ap- pointed chaplain to this detachment, and proceeded from Cal- cutta by the way of Culpee to join us. The beginning of July he fet oft' from Culpee with twenty- four Sepoys, (twelve of which were as an efcort, the reft re- covered men belonging to this detachment'* and tiiree hundred Cooleys, &c. bringing fupplies of liquors for different gentle- men. About half way between Chatterpour and Culpee, at a place called Rhaat, belonging to Rajah Judge Sing. He diicovered about two hundred Country cavalry coming to- wards him on the high road. He infbantly formed his Sepoys, and ordered them on no account whatever to fire without his orders. Thefe banditti furrounded him and fired : he re- peatedly called out to them to take every thing they chofe, but to fpare his life. Deaf to his entreaties, they continued firing, wounded him in two or three places, then doled on his party, cut him down with their broad fwords, and many others : they feized all the tilings, and left him for dead. As foon as they were out of light, though dangeroufly wounded, he fent off a man to our camp, imploring aflilfance, declaring, if it was fent, his life might yet be preferved. Two companies were inflantly difpatched with Ibme Condaha- rian Horfe : they had fcarce got fifteen cofs, when a boy who was his fervant, came to the party, and acquainted the officer commanding it, that two days after his receiving his wounds, he had been taken care of by a Bramin, and carried into a fmall fort, not far from the place of his being firfl: fet upon ; that a few of the banditti returned, took him out of the fort into a neighbouring jungle, and in cool blood but- chered him, and cut his head oft. This was a mofl extraor- dinary Inflance of barbarity, and cruelly perpetrated on a man of approved bravery, an adlive and fpirlted officer, and a worthy member of fociety. laSunret Sing, the elder brother to the prefent Bundle Cund Ra- jah, hearing of the capture of Mow, joined this detach- ment, and came to Colonel Lellie at Chatterpour. No doubt to implore his afliflance againft his brother Amrood Sing, only nine years of age, who had by the perfidy of his late father's miniflers, ul'urped his dominions, and feized on his immenfe riches, which were allotted to his elder brother Pargunnah to the amount of nine lacks per C anuucA, !o A J O U R N A L of 'July II. cinnum, declaring it to be tlie purport of their father's will, Hindooput. Sun ret Sing, fincc the demife of their father, about t\vt;nty months pafb, made Icveral attempts to depoic his younger brother ; but the influence of montv, aided by the counlels of thoi'e crafty miniflers, baffled them all, and he not long ago retired into the hills, to ilive a life that great rewards were offered to deprive him of. 29. Rajah Gomaun and Comaun Sing, brothers, and near relations of the former brother's, came alfo to offer tlicir fcrvices to Sunret Sing. This congrelsof Rajah's had an army of about five thousand, confining of match-lock-men and cavalry. The Rajahs Gomaun and Comaun Sing, were encamped about two miles from us. ^tf^.i2.We were directed in general orders, to lie on our arms, and every ftep was taken to prevent a furprife. Ignorant as to the caule, many conjetflures were circulated ; however, thefe two Rajahs, with their army, decamped haftilv on this night, and moved off towards their country, fituated between Culpce and Mahobah. Report lays, that finding themfelves difiippointcd, regarding their high and exalted hopes, they formed a fchcme with the young Rajah, Amrood Sing, for attacking us on one fide, while they a<5led their part on the other. This letter was Inter- cepted by Sunret Sing, which they fufpecling moved off, left they fhould luffer the jufl: reward of fuch treachery. 14. The guns at Mow were rendered xinferviceable, and the de- tachment joined us. 1 5. The whole marched from Chatterpour to BafTire, nine miles. and a half, the road tolerably good, but owing to a treafure hackry breaking down, we were detained about an hour. Rajah Sunret Sing, with about one hundred and fifty of his followers, were with us. x6. At half paft three o'clock fet off from Baflire ; the road tolerably good, intercepted by feveral fmall rivulets did not get to Killour Gunge till twelve o'clock, although it was not above twelve Englifli miles; the road very jungly; all the villages were deferted the whole way ; it began raining half pnil ten o'clock, and continued the whole evening.

Amrood Sing's army having taken poffeffion of the oppofitc banks of the river Cane, to defend the paffage of it. No fooner did we get here, when a battalion was detached with two 12 pounders, two 6 pounders, and a howitzer, to take poft on this fide the river, and to annoy the enemy. Our opponents amounted to cavalry and infantry 6000, fix or feven pieces of cannon played away very fmartly at us the whole day ; but our detachment taking advantage of an hol- low w-ay formed by the flope of the bank, not a man of ours was killed or wounded. Two or three carcafes thrown from the howitzer, fct the ene- mies bungolows and huts on fire ; this occafioncd the greatefl: part of them to retire to a hill clofe to their rear. 1'hey raifed after our taking poft oppofite them, two or three batteries, and threw up lines of communication be- tween them on the bank. The river Cane is rapid, full of rocks, large ftones, and broken flumps of trees ; it is about 6co yards wide in the rains. A few days fair weather has fo fudden an effeft on it, that fe- veral fords are palTable. Thefe four days paft we had only a trifling Ihower. 21. This night laid on our arms, as it was iaid a pajty of the enemy had crofltd to attack us in the rear. Vakeels came in, and it was faid, that Col.- Leflie's infifting on Amrood Sing's difbanding his troops, and giving up our de- ferters, broke off all further amicable interceurfe. Sepf. I. Capt. Popham marched with his battalion, and two 6 pounders, with 500 Condaharian horfe, with an intention to intercept a body of the enemy, (2000 infantry and cavalry) who crofled the river Cane, in hopes of being nble to cut olf our lupplies from the rear. He encamped at KiiTour Gunge ; at night he heard that the enemy were within four Cofs of him : he im- mediately fet off with his two grenadier companies, and the horfe, leaving his battalion to pnlh on with the guns. x\bout day-break he came \ip with tliem, and found they were pre- pared to receive him, formed with their cavalry on their right, and their left covered by the bed of a nullah, and a thick C 2 jungle. 12 AJOURNALof Sept.

As he advanced, they fired on him, hut he referved' his fire until he came very near; he then gave them a volley,, which being well fupported by a brilk attack of the Conda- harians on their horfe, routed them effectually ; the Con- daharians purfued, and did great execution amongfl: them ; 36 of th.e enemy were found dwid ou the fpot they received' the vollty. One grenadier was killed, and four wounded. Two Condaharians were killed, and four wounded. Some of the enemy having retired into the fort of Goor Gunge^. Captain Popham, and Lieutenant Tifdale, went near to recon- noitre it, the latter was unluckily Ihot in the fmall of the leg. 8. Vakeels have come aver from the enemy. 25.

The inha- ' bitants continued in their habitations, and with great hof- pitality fupplied us with every thing for the ready cafli; here we got very excellent grapes, and lome indifferent oranges, at this feafon of the year, it appears extraordinary the former {hould be ripe, and the mangoes only in bloflbm ; but we were told the grapes all come from Afliere Gurr, where it feems the high fituation on a rock, has this particular effeft on that fruit. It is about 7 cofs, or 14 miles, from Booram- pore to the N.N. E. of it. It is called by Dow, in his third volume, HafTer, and Azire ; it is in appearance one of the moft impregnable fortreffes in the world, fituated on a very high hill, which appears as lonely a profpeit as the table land at the Cape of Good Hope. The mountain is of conker and ftony rock, the walls of pucha ftone work, with round towers, or cavaliers, at convenient diftances ; it feems not lefs than an Engllfti mile in diameter, and is in a triangular form. The neighbouring country for feveral cofs all round Afticre Gurr, is exceedingly broken, with various hills of conker, fo that the approach to it, is only by a narrow lane or hollow wav, that a fmgle bullock loaded can pals at a time.

PROCEEDINGS of the BOMBAY ARMY, in their March towards P a o n a h. THE army left Bombay in different divifions the 22d and 23d of November, and the Commander in Chief (Colonel Egerton,)'. and his fuit, left it the 24th. Mefl". Carnac and Moftyn, who with the Commander in Chief, compofed a Committee for this fenvice. Left Bombay the 7th of December; Captain Stewart, with a fele6t party of 600 grenadier Sepoys, took pofl'effion of the Bour Gliaut pafs the 25th of November, being the firft divifion detached from the Trea- fury. At this poft he continued until the 25th of December, when he was ioincd with a reinforcement commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Cay, and Your or five days afterwards Colonel Egerton and the main body marched to that pofl. At Coadola, which is the firft village from the Ghaut Pafs, the army halted a fhort time, and about Ncw-year's. day, renewed their march tov/ards Poonah. In this march the enemy can- nonaded them every day from nine in the morning, until about three in the afternoon, and as our army advanced, tiie enemy retreated, fo. that we always occupied the ground they left. The ift of January Lieutenant Colonel Cay received a mortal wound from a rocket, of which he died at Bombay the 14th following. The 4th of January Captaia Stewart, wlio had the fcledl body of grenadiers,, was killed by a cannon- the Bombay Dstachment, 1778. zi acannoftfhot.Whenthe army marched from the BourGhautPafs towards Poonah, a party of 200 Sepoys was left to guard the pafs commanded by Lieutenant Firazer, with a bombardier, a matrofs, and two fmall pieces of artillery. The 8th or 9th of January the army reached Tool- gaam, about 15 or 20 miles from Poonah, the village of which is beau- ful, and has moft noble buildings. To this the enemy on leaving It, fet fire. All the mifchief done on this tedious march was by cannon fhot and rockets, the^ enemy never coming near enough for our muf- quetry to do any execution. On the 6th they were within reach of our grape (hot, which made confiderable havock among them. On the I ith of January in the evening, the fatal orders for retreating, faid to be given from the committee to Col. Cockburn, who commanded, (Colonel Egerton being very ill,) were published at Toolgaam. Tents to be ftruck at eleven> and the army to march at twelve. At this time not a fingle partizan of confequence had joined Ragaboy, and the enemy had determined on burning and deftroying Poonah, in cafe our army had forced their way to that capital. At midnight Captain Gordon; with Ragaboy and the baggage, led the retreat, then the main body. Capt. Hartley, with the felecl body of grenadiers, brought up the rear. The enemy perceiving this followed, and by hair after one in the morning began to annoy our rear. By day-break on the 12th, our fmall army was pretty near furrounded by the enemy, and thrice did they endea- vour to charge Hartley's divifion, which became now the van, and about half a mile from the main body, but they were kept at a re- fpeftable diflance by his well ferved artillery, which plied them with grape fhot. Colonel Cockburn fent orders for this party, feeing them hard pufhed, to join the main body, but Captain Hartley's fituation being luch, returned for anfvver, that if once he turned his back to the enemy, it might be deftruiflion to the whole. He was therefore in- flantly reinforced by 200 European infantry, and about three compa- nies of Sepoys, under the orders of Major Frederick, until they joined the grenadiers, the whole then being commanded by Captain Hartley, and Major Frederick ferving voluntarily. This reinforcement obliged the enemy to retire, after which the party joined the main body, which in general had been alio engiiged ; but the enemy's cavalry failing in their feveral attempts to charge, quitted the fitkl about noon. The lofs of non-commilfion-ed officers and privates, is computed at 260, of whom 60 are Europeans. After thi^ followed, it is laid, a council of war, the refult of which was the fending into the enemy's camp a flag of truce, accompanied by Mefl. Holmes and Farmer, the former Com- miflary, the latter Secretary to the committee, who had a conference with Mahaja Scindee, who had tlie largefl force. What publickly took took place nfter was the delivering up Rngaboy to Mahnja Sclnclee, an^ our army inftan^ly decamping for Bombay. As hoH-ages for our per- formance of the treaty, Mr. Farmer and Enfign Stewart were delivered to Mahaja Scindce, and our atmy was accompanied by a party of Mah- ratta horfe to the place where they embarked on board of boats, &c, for Bombay. -in,-;! General O R D E R S of the Bombay Select Committee. HE Honourable the Governor and the Seleft Committee, re- 1^ fledling upon the importance of the charge rcpofed in each Capt. owing to the particular nature of the Company's fervice, where there arc fo few Officers of fuperior rank ; and how necefllary it confequently is, that the Officers of that rank Ihould poflcis qualitications eqtial to fuch a charge, have refolved, and do hereby fignify to the army, That the Lieutenants will not in future be promoted in rotation to the rank of Captains, either iu the Infantry or Artillery, uulcfs they Ihall be judged fully qualified for that Nation. In order to encourage the army in general to difcharge their duty with honour, when any future fervice Ihall call them ibrth, by con- vincing them on the prefent occafion, that particular merit has not pafl'ed unnoticed or unrewarded, the Honourable the Governor and the Sele£l Committee have thought lit to confer marks of dirtinftion on thofe Officers, ivho, by the report made to them, have eminently ficrnalized themfelves on tlie late Expedition. In this light. Captain James Hartley attrads their firft notice. — To his conduct and intre- pidity is this Prefidency principally indebted for tlic prefervation of the whole army in the engagement of the 12th iiltlmn ; and as it has be- come neceflary on thefe critical times, to provide an Officer of abibty and experience for the Command of the Infantry Eftabliffiment, the Honourable the Governor and the Select Committee have judged it good for the fervice, to reward Captain Hartly's diflinguiffiing merit, bv appointing him a Lieutenant Colonel of Infantry, which it is hoped will be more agreeable to the Army than having an Officer of that rank feat from Europe, Lieutenant the Bombay Detachment, 1778. 23 ' Lieutenant Colonel Hartley is therefore to afl and to be obeyed accordingly by the army, as Lieutenant Colonel of Infantry. j-i Captain John Whestphutt, the fenior Captain of Artillery, having alfo merited particular notice, by his iignal good behaviour on the late fervice, the Honourable tlie Governor and the Seled Committee have refolved to confer on him, unfolicited, a Commiffion a$ Major of Artillery ; to which, though he has a title by feniority^ his ability and fervices give him much better pretenfions. ; Captain John Bellus having acquitted himfelf much to the fa- tdsfadlion of the Grovernot and the Seled Committee, and fhovvn great knowledge of his profeffion, he is appointed Director of the Labo- ratoryi which wLllbe vacated by the promotion of Lieutenant Colonel Dagon, and the neceffity of his attending to his other avocations as Commandant of Artillery, Captain Alexander Cadger's behaviour has likewife given par- ticular fatisfaftion ; and, in teflimony thereof, the Governor and the Seledl Committee confirm him in the command of the Fifth Bat- talion of Sepoys, vacant by the death of Captain Stewart. Lieutenant Thomas Dawson having proved himfelf a brave and aftive Officer, on the late, and every fervice on. which he has been employed,, the Governor and the Sele£t Committee, to convince the Army that they will fparc no effort to reward merit, have refolved to give Captains breviats to three fenior officers, that tlie promotion may reach Lieutenant Dawson, who is alfo to have a Captain's breviat. The three officers fo promoted are Lieutenants Lendrum, Bowles, and Peachy ; and the Governor and the Sele6t Committee are happy to mention, that Lieutenant Bowles, by his behaviour on the late fer- vice, has merited fome marks of their notice. Lieutenant Colbatch is not included in the above promotion. Lieutenant Rattray, of the Bengal eftablifhment, who lerved 9s a Volunteer on the late expedition ; where, in the mofl trying fitua- tions, he gave eminent proofs of his flcill and condu6l as an Officer, the Governor and the Seled: Comtnittee dire£l, that their thanks be given him in this public manner : and as they fhall be well pleaied to add fuch a valuable Officer to this effablilhment, thev defire his acceptance of a Captain's Commiflion, to bear rank next below Captain. Dawson. Lieutenant James Jackson, and Lieut. St. Loo Thomas, of the Artillery, have alio merited particular notice : the former is appointed Affiflant to the Direftors of the Laboratory, and the late confirmed in. .\is pofl of Adjutant, to which he was appointed on the expedition. Lieuteiianti 357357 24 A J O U R N A L of Lieutenants Waddington, Bannatyne , MACPiiErxSON, and BuRCHALL, have alfo diftinguiflied themfelves in the adlion of the 1 2th : the Governor and the Seleft Committee will be happy to give thofe Officers further proofs of their fenfe of their good behaviour, when opportunity offers ; and they do return them particular thanks in the public Orders of this Garrlfon. The Governor and the Selefl: Committee do, in general, return their thanks to the whole of the Officers, whole behaviour has been commended in the above Orders ; and If any inflance of particular good behaviour has efcaped their notice, they will with great pleafure red:ify the Omlflion. The Governor and the Sele6l Committee alfo order, That their thanks be returned to the Six Companies of Grenadier Sepoys that compofed Captain Hartley's Divhion, for their gallant behaviour oa the 1 2th tilt, and that badges be given them to commemorate the honour they gained on that occafion.
