APPENDIX to the CHRONICLE. 
Camp, Sept, 30, 1803. 
My lord, 
I have the honour to enclose. an 
~ account of the ordnance taken from 
the enemy in the action of the 23d 
instant.. 1 have reason to believe 
that there are still four more guns, 
which were thrown into the river 
by the enemy in their retreat. 
We have taken seven stand.of co- 
Jours, and the enemy lost all their 
ammunition, although the tumbrils 
having blown up, some during the 
action, and others during the suc- 
ceeding night, we have got nothing 
but the shot. The ordnance is very 
fine ; but I have destroyed the iron 
guns, and shall put the brass guns in 
a place of security. 
The enemy lost twelve hundred 
men killed in the field of battle, and 
their wounded are scattered in all 
parts of the country. It is report- 
ed that Jadoon Row, Scindiah’s 
principal minister, received a wound, 
of which he died the day before 
yesterday. Their army are in the 
greatest confusion and retiring to 
Burhaunpoor. Col. Stevenson has 
followed them down the Ajuntee 
Ghant, and I propose to descend 
the Ghauts, as socn as I shall have 
placed the wounded soldiers in se- 
curity. 
I have the honour to be, 
My lord, 
With the greatest respect, 
Your excellency’s most obedient, 
And faithful humble servant, 
(Signed) Arthur Wellesley.

general, &c. Sc. &e.

My lord, 
In my dispatch of yesterday’s

the honour to send your excellency 
amore detailed account of that affair. 
After a forced march of 25 miles, 
which was performed by the cavyal- 
ry in a little more than six hours, 
I came up with the enemy, who ap- 
yeared to be upon their retreat, and 
in such confusion, that I was tempt- 
ed to try the effect of an attack upon 
him
