The Governor's despatch enumerates the different enclosures, and after alluding to certain letters from Sir J. Malcolm to Mr. Secretary Adams, stating that Cheetoo and Ranjan had delivered themselves up to the Nabob of Bhopaul, proceeds as follows:

We had hoped from this last communication to have had the satisfaction of congratulating your Honourable Committee on the complete subjugation of all the Pindarry chieftains, but we are sorry to observe, that by a letter received by our Chief Secretary from Sir John Malcolm, of a date subsequent to his official despatch, he has since heard that Cheetoo and Ranjun bad made off, and gone towards their old baunts on the Nerbudda, and that his troops bad proceeded to the southward in consequence.

We have the honour to intimate, for the information of your Honourable Committee, that we have just received accounts of the surrender of the fort of Wassota* to the force under Brigadier General Pritzler; and we have the pleasure to add that the two British officers, Lieutenants Hunter and Morrison, have been at length released from the hands of the enemy, having been detained in confinement in that fort.

The forts of Seedghur and Bhugwanghar, in the province of Salsee, have also been reduced by the force under the com. mand of Lieut. Col. Imlank, C. B.

Extract of a letter from Brigadier General Sir J. Malcolm, K. C. B. and K. L. S. to Lieut. General Sir T. Hislop, Commander in Chief, dated Camp, at Nimbekarah, the 15th of Feb 1818.

The expectation I entertained from the first, that Jeswut Row Bhow would surrender, has not been disappointed. That Chief yesterday came into my camp, and gave himself up, avowing that he did so unconditionally, in the hope that his volun

tary submission would recommend him to the forgiveness and liberal consideration of his sovereign, Dowlut Row Scindiab, and the British Government.

I demanded from Jewsunt Row Bhow, the moment he arrived in camp, orders for the delivery to the British Government of the forts of Dealghur and Cumulnere. By a letter I have received from General Donkin, who is advancing into Mewar, the former had surrendered previous to the arrival of orders, but that for the evacuation of Cumulnere will be in time, and may, I hope, prevent the necessity of an attack upon that fortress.

The whole of this part of Mewar has been for some time subject to the depredations of Duleel Khan, who, residing at this place, which is a jagheer of the family of Ameer Khan, has for eight years past laid the ⚫ neighbouring country under contribution. To this chief, who had, on the representation of Capt. Caulfield, separated his interests from those of Jewsunt Row Bhow, a few days before the latter was attacked, [the particulars of this engagement have not been officially, received] I sent a message, with an offer of service for him and his followers; and at the same time plaiuly informed him, that if he did not accept it, he must disband all bis followers and leave the country, otherwise he should be treated as a freebooter. He first sent a party of horse, and afterwards came himself into my camp, and accepted the offer 1 made him of service. Both men and horses are of an excellent description. They will be useful recruits to the Poonah auxiliary horse, and taking them into pay has already had the effect of giving confidence to the inhabitants of this quarter, who are returning to villages which, owing to these and other lawless freebooters (in the employ of Jeswut Row Bhow) have been deserted for years. Copy of a Letter from Brigadier General Sir J. Malcolm to Sir T. Hislop, dated Camp, near Jawud, Feb. 17, 1818.

Sir, I have great satisfaction in informing your Excellency that Kurreem Khan, the Pindarry Chief, gave himself up to me on the 15th inst. I had heard he was in the vicinity, and employed the agency of Meer Zuffier Ally to bring him in, making a general promise of pardon, and the future means of subsistence; Kurreem Khan states that he was compelled to leave Holkar's camp, on our declaring that we would not treat with that Prince while any Pindarrees were associated with them. He came to Jawud, and remained there behind his Durrah on account of illness, having previously received the protection of Jeswant Row Bhow. He was in this place when it was attacked on the 29th ult.: he found on that occasion an asylum in the house of a poor inhabitant, where he remained til the night of the 30th, when he effected his escape to the bills, where he represents

himself as having been wandering from village to village ever since in hourly alarm of being seized. This story is in part confirmed by one of his feet being much swelled by walking (to him an unusual exercise) and by his appearance when he came in.

He was at first much alarmed, but his confidence is restored, and he appears disposed to give every information in his power, both with respect to past events and to the actual condition and present places of concealment of the scattered remnants of his own tribe.

I trust your Excellency will consider the surrender of this Chief as important, as it is calculated, with other events, to mark the character of our complete triumph over the freebooters of Malwab.

I have, &c.

J. MALCOLM, Brig. Gen. Copy of a despatch from Lit. General Sir T. Hislop, to the Governor General and Commander in Chief, dated Camp, at Talneir, the 28th February, 1818.

In my despatch of the 23d inst. I appris ed your Lordship of my having taken possession of the fort of Sindwah, and of my intention to pursue my route to the south ward on the following day. Having de scended the Sindwah Ghaut without molestation from the Bheels t, I reached Kurrone on the 26th inst, and moved towards the Tapty at this place yesterday; on the march I received an intimation that the Killedar of Talnier had determined upon resisting the occupation of his fort by the British troops, aud this, on my arrival before the place, I found to be correct, as he had already commenced a fire from a few guns and a number of matchlocks froin the walls, upon our advanced parties.

On this I directed a reconnoissance to be made by the Quarter Master General, Lieut.-Col. Blacker, and the officers of engineers, with a company of light infantry, the deep ravines round the place preventing its accessibility on the service by the cavalry picquets; I sent at the same time a letter to the Killedar, warning him of the consequences which would ensue from his rebellion if persisted in; to this I received no answer, but I afterwards learned that it, had been delivered to him.

The reconnoissance being completed, I directed the 10 six-pounders (including the horse artillery guns), and two five and a half inch howitzers, with some 12 pound rockets to be brought into position, so as to knock off, in as great a degree as such limited means would admit of, the defences

* A fort ceded by Holkar to the British Government, situated upon the Tapty, about 80 miles west of Burhaupoor.

Extract from a Dispatch from Sir J. Malcolm to Mr. Adam, dated Camp, Ougein, March 23, 1818.

As I deemed it of some consequence to come to an early settlement with Kurreem Khan, the Pindaree chief, respecting his future place of residence, I entered into a full discussion with him upon the subject, the result of which has been bis cheerful acquiescence in the plan I proposed of his receiving lands in the province of Goruckpore, for the support of himself and family, and immediate dependents.

Kader Buksh, the procipal chief of the Holkar Shabee Pindarees, accompanies the party with Kureem Khan; this chief commanded 3000 horse, 800 infantry, and four guns.

The Pindaree chiefs and their families leave Ougein to-day ; a guard of one subidar and 30 men of the Russell brigade (who have leave to go to Hindoostan), accompa ny them; their route is by Kota, Kerowly, Agra, and Allahabad. I have furnished them with letters and passports to faciliate their journey; and havé promised they shall have permission to remain at the village of Meer Zuffer Ally, in the district of Aliahabad, till lands are allotted for them at Goruckpore.

A dispatch from Lieut. Colonel Stanhope gives the particulars of an attack upon the Pindarees, the substance of which is given in the subjoined document :Extract from Division Orders by Major General Sir W. G. Keir, K, M. T.

Camp, at Debalpoor, March 13, 1818. The Major General is happy to publish to the division the following particulars of an action between a detachment from his Majesty's 17th dragoons, under Lieut. Col. the Hon. L. Stanhope, and 300 Pindarees, commanded by Cheetoo in person, which has added to the deserved reputation of that gallant corps, and reflects the highest credit on the officers and men employed on the occasion:-" Information having been Communicated to Lieut. Col. the Hon. L. Stanhope of a considerable party of Pindarees having appeared within a forced march of his camp, a detachment was immediately put in motion, and arrived within sight of the enemy, after a march of 30 miles; the dragoons immediately formed and attacked them, and after a show of resistance, they betook themselves to flight, closely pursued by our detachment, who cut down upwards of 200 horsemen. Chee too, conspicuous by his dress and black charger, narrowly escaped falling into our hands, but was saved by the extraordinary speed of his horse."

The Major General begs to express his thanks to Lieut, Col, the Hon. L. Stanhope,. for the promptitude and vigour with which the arrangements were made for the attack, and the spirit with which it was conducted; and he returns his acknowledgments to the Europ. Mag. Vol. LXXIV. Sept. 1818.

whole of the detachmeet for the intrepidity and activity which they displayed during the attack and pursuit of the enemy. The conduct of Captain Adams and Cornet Marriott has been represented to the Major General in the most favourable terms, and he is most happy to express his unqualified approbation of the gallantry of both these officers. Lieut. Jervis's unremitting exertions have been repeatedly brought to the Major General's notice, and he feels thoroughly sensible of their importance on this occasion from the exercise he has had of that officer's valuable services.
