SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE OF SATURDAY, OCT. 10. MONDAY, OCTOBER. 12. INDIA BOARD, OCTOBER 10. A despatch has been received at the East India House, from the Governor in Council at Bombay, dated 19th May, 1818, enclosing a report from Brigadier-General Thomas Munro to the Honourable Mountstuart Elphinstone, of which the following is a copy: Camp before Sholapore,* May 11. Head Quarters, Field Division. To the Honourable Mountstuart Elphinstone, Commissioner. SIR, ON the 9th instant 1 had the honour to report to you the arrival of the division under my command before this place, and that Gunput Row Paunsee had returned * Sholapore, a town in the late Peishwah's dominions, near the western boundary of the Nizam's, about 140 miles south east of Poona. Europ. Mag. Vol. LXXIV. Dec. 1818. 9 here from the south of the Beema river the day before, and was encamped under the guns of the fort, in a strong position, with Bajee Row's guns and infantry. Yesterday morning, at day-break, I carried the outward pettah by escalade, and made a lodgement in the inner pettah (close up to the fort), where the Arabs continued to defend the houses on that side of the fort, assisted by the garrison, for a considerable time. It is now in our possession I am happy to inform you. Just as we got possession yesterday of the outward pettah, Gunput Row led a considerable body of his infantry, with a few hundred horse, round by the eastern side of the fort, and opened five guns upon our reserve. Finding our battery did not silence these guns, I ordered them to be charged, and carried three of them; the other two having been unfortunately withdrawn just then under the fire of the fort. Gunput Row was wounded, and Victul Punt Tattiah killed, besides several others of less note, at their guns and in their retreat, 3 Z Having understood that the enemy were going off about four o'clock p.m. from their camp, I ordered out our small body of cavalry, under Brigadier-General Pritzler, to pursue them. Fortunately Dhooly Khan came into Camp just before from Tooljapoor with three hundred horse, after a long march, and joined in the pursuit. I have great satisfaction in acquainting you that the Brigadier-General was fortunate enough to overtake them about seven miles from camp, and he pursued them five miles to the banks of the Seenat river, and only gave over as the night closed in, leaving between 700 and 800 killed and wounded on the field, and amongst the former, I believe, Major De Pinto: his party, and the Arabs under Dyaub, who did not part with their Arms, suffered most. The enemy were about 5,000 infantry, and 600 or 700 horse; the latter all escaped, having had so great an advantage in starting; those of the infantry who got off threw away their arms, so I hope I may congratulate you upon the complete defeat and dispersion of Bajee Row's infantry; and as his guns were taken into the fort, I expect we shall soon have the remainder of them also. The enemy lost all their baggage, camels, &c. Our loss yesterday, I fear, has been severe. As yet I have not received the returns of the killed and wounded. I shall do myself the honour to send you a detailed account to-morrow of the operations of yesterday. The garrison now consists of only 800 or 1,000 infantry; and our mortars are playing on the fort from the inner pettah since morning. I have the honour to be, &c. Camp, before Hattrass, March 6. Major-General Marshall congratulates the army he has the honour to command, on the successful termination of its services against the fortress and town of Hattrass: which event has led to the surrender of Moorsaum and eleven other forts. To Major-Generals Donkin, Sir J. Horsford, and Brown, and Major Auburey, General Marshall feels extremely indebted for the judgment, zeal, promptitude, and energy, which they invariably displayed in carrying into effect the operations devolving upon the several branches of the service to which they were attached. The science and skill displayed by the engineer and artillery departments were eminently conspicuous; and the bombard An unfortified place 110 miles S. E. of Ahmednuggur. + A river falling into the Beema. Through some accident, the despatch from the Governor-General in Council, covering these orders, has not been received. ment and explosion of the enemy's principal magazine, which, without deregating from the merits of others, must be allowed to have given us almost immediate possession of the place, will long be regarded as the most memorable among the brilliant events of the last fortnight, and as demonstrative of the extent and soundness of that judgment and penetration, which, in the avowed anticipation of these very consequences, enabled the army, by the provision of adequate means, to ensure them. The practice of the artillery has answered the expectations of that bigh authority, to which the Major-General bas ventured to allude in the foregoing observations. Another motive for them is to bring forward and illustrate the fact more closely, that where the means are equal to the science and practical knowlege known to pervade every branch of the army, the results must invariably be rapid and successful, even against such strong and formidable forts as Hattrass has proved to be. The infantry and cavalry on this occasion had abundant opportunities of showing their bravery, zeal, and devotion to the service. On one occasion, particularly, the Major General was highly pleased with the alacrity and eagerness displayed by the infantry,who were formed in columns ready to storm the works of the town, holding out every expertation of success from men who evinced such resolution and desire of being led on. The duties of investing the fort latterly devolved on the cavalry, and their vigilance and constancy in maintaining the blockade entitle them to the Major-General's highest consideration. The loss sustained by the enemy in making their retreat from the fort, reflects great credit on the two squadrons of His Majesty's 8th light dragoons, the 7th native cavalry, and part of the 1st Rohilla cavalry, who entered-and routed them The pioneer corps has given another proof to the many already on record of their coolness in the most trying situations, and of their extraordinary skill and despatch in the labours which belong to them in this particular species of warfare. Having thus noticed his high approval of the conduct of every branch of the army, Major-General Marshall desires that the several officers employed on the General Staff of the army will accept his warmest thanks for the able manner in which their several duties were conducted. The Major-General's personal Staff, cetsisting of Captain James, Aide de-Camp, Major Cartwright, and Lieut. Soeyd, of the Quarter-master-General's department, who both volunteered their services on this occasion, and acted as Aides-de-Camp, are entitled to his best thanks for their ready assistance on all occasions. The Commissariat department, ender Lieutenant Colonel Stevenson and Captai Cunliffee, answered the high expectations formed of it from past experience. Lieutenant Aplia's exertions as Acting Assistant Quarter-Master-General marked the zeal, intelligence, and ability of this deserving and promising officer; Captain Watson, Provincial Assistant AdjutantGeneral, and Brigade-Major Gough, had important and laborious details to conduct, which they performed to the entire satisfaction of the Major-General.

THE KING'S HEALTH. On Saturday, Dec. 5, the Council met, in the Upper Lodge, Windsor, to receive the Monthly Report of the five Doctors in attendance on his Majesty. When the Phy sicians had been sworn, the Council next proceeded to visit the King, and left the Bishop of London to superintend his Majesty for the ensuing week. After this, the following bulletin was issued:- "Windsor Castle, Dec. 5. "His Majesty's tranquillity has been undisturbed throughout the last month, and his Majesty's health has been good; but his disorder continues in the same state. effort, and of which I have the noble pride to say no other nation has afforded a fairer example, has enabled me to realize those hopes. My troops alone occupy all our strong places; one of my sons, who hastened to join in the first transports of joy of our delivered provinces, has, with his own hands, and amidst the acclamations of my people, hoisted the French standard on the ramparts of Thionville. The standard now floats on all the territory of France. "The day on which those of my children, who have borne with so much courage the burthen of an occupation of more than three years, have been delivered from it, will be one of the finest days of my life; and my heart, entirely French, no less enjoyed the end of their distresses. The provinces which have so painfully occupied my thoughts till this day, deserve to fix those of the nation, which has admired, as I have done, their heroic resignation. "The noble unanimity of heart and of sentiment which you manifested when I called upon you for the means to fulfil eer engagements, was a brilliant proof of the attachment of the French to their country, and of the confidence of the nation in its King; and Europe has eagerly re erected France, replaced in the rank which belongs to her. The declaration which announces to the world the principles on which the union of the five Powers is founded, sufficiently shews the friendship which prevails among the Sovereigns. This salutary union, dictated by justice, and consolidated by morality and religion, has for its object to prevent the scourge of war, by the maintenance of treaties, by the guarantee of existing rights, and permits us to repose our eyes on the long days of peace, which such an alliance promises to Europe. "I have awaited in silence this happy epoch, to turn my thoughts to the national solemnity in which religion consecrates the intimate union of the people with their King, when receiving the royal unction in the midst of you, I shall take to witnes the God by whom Kings reign, the God of Clovis, of Charlemagne, of St. Louis. I shall renew, at the altar, the oath to confirm the institutions founded on that Charter, which I cherish more, since the French, by an unanimous sentiment, have frankly rallied round it. In the laws which will be proposed to you, I shall take care that its spirit shall be always consulted, in order to secure, more and more, the public rights of the French, and preserve to the Monarchy the force which it must have to preserve all the liberties dear to my people. "Ia seconding my wishes and my efforts, I you will not forget, Gentlemen, that this Charter, delivering France from a despotism, has put an end to Revolutions. depend on your concurrence to repel those pernicious principles which, under the mask of liberty, attack social order, conduct by anarchy to absolue power, and whose fatal success has cost the world so much blood and so many tears. My Ministers will lay before you the Budget of the expenses which the public service requires. The protracted effects of events, the consequences of which we have been forced to bear, or to accept, has not yet allowed me to propose to you a diminution of the burthens imposed upon my people; but I have the consolation to perceive, at no great distance. the moment when I shall be able to satisfy this desire of my heart. From this moment a limit is fixed to the increase of our debt: we have the certainty that it will diminish in a rapid progression. The certainty, and the loyalty of France in the fulfillment of her engagements, will establish on immoveable foundation, the public credit, which some transitory circumstances, common to other States, had seemed to affect for a moment. The Frenci youth have just given a noble proof of love to their county an their King. The recruiting law has been executed with submission, and often with joy; while the young sol diers under the ranks of the army, their hostlers, who are releaesd, remain in the bosom of their families, and the veterans who have fulfilled their engagements, return to their homes. They are both living examples of fidelity, henceforth inviolable, in executing the laws. "After the calamities of a security, the unentrance of which still afflicts my soul, Providence, this year, of its benefits, has covered our fields with abundant harvests. They will serve to promote commerce, whose vessels visit any sea, and through the French flag to the most remote nations, Industry and the arts, extending, their 'empire, will also add to the sweets of general peace. To the independence of the country, to public liberty, is added private liberty, which France has never so entirely enjoyed. Let us, therefore, unite our sentiments and our expressions to the author of so many blessings; and let us know how to render them durable. They will be so; it banishes every sad remembrance, and shifting every resentment, the French thorougly persuade themselves that their liberties are" inseparable from order, which itself rests upon the throne, their sole palladium. My daty is to defend them against their common enemies. I shall fulfil it, and I shall find in you, gentlemen, that support which I have never yet invoked in vain." ROYAL ACADEMY.-On the 10th inst, the Anniversary of the foundation of the Royal Academy of Arts, a General Assembly of Academicians was held at their apartments in Somerset House, when the following distribution of premiums took place; viz.
