by insuperable obstacles, and were 
in consequence ordered to aban- 
don the attack. 
In this arduous and gallant but 
unsuccessful struggle, many brave 
officers and men were killed and 
wounded. 
The most honourahle testimony 
is borne by Colonel Mawby to the 
zeal and courage displayed by the 
officers and men engaged in the 
assault : and although their brave 
efforts were not crowned with im- 
mediate success, they produced 
such an effect as to convince the 
enemy of the inutility of further 
resistance ; accordingly, on the 
30th, at four a. m. the Nepaulese 
garrison abandoned the Fort of 
Kalunga to the British troops. 
[This supplement also contains 
dispatches from Colonel Ochter- 
Jony, stating the surrender on the 
4th of November of the Forts of 
Nalagar and Tarregar, garrisoned 
by ninety-five Goorka officers and 
privates, with a loss on our side of 
one killed and six wounded; and 
a report, dated the25th of Novem- 
ber, from Major Bradshaw, of the 
successful operations of a division 
of his troops, under Captain Hay, 
against Pursaram ‘hapa, the 
Napaulese Subah of the Teraice. 
The Subah, who occupied this po- 
sition with about 400 men, was 
completely surprised : he himself 
was killed ; one of his chief Sir- 
' dars, severely wounded,was found 
among the slain, which is stated 
to have amounted to about 51 
mountaineer soldiers. A number 
of the enemy was wounded, and 
many were drowned in the river 
Bagnutee. Two standards were 
taken. The total of our loss con- 
sisted of two killed and twenty- 
one wounded, including Lieut.

Waterloo, June 19, 1815° 
My Lord,—Buonaparte having 
collected the Ist, 2d, 3d, 4th, and 
6th corps of the French army and 
the Imperial Guards, and nearly 
all the cavalry on the Sambre, and 
between that river and the Meuse, 
between the 10th and 14th of the 
month, advanced on the 15th, and 
attacked the Prussian posts at 
Thuin and Lobez, on the Sambre, 
at day light in the morning. 
I did not hear of these events 
till the evening of the 15th, and 
immediately ordered the troops to 
prepare to march, and afterwards 
to march to their left, as soon as 
I had intelligence from other 
quarters to prove that theenemy’s 
movement upon Charleroy was 
the real attack. 
The enemy drove the Prussian 
posts from the Sambre on that 
day ; and General Zieten, who 
commanded the corps which had 
been at Charleroy, retired upon 
Fleurus; and Marshal Prince 
Blucher concentrated thePrussian 
army upon Sambref, holding the 
villages in front of his position of 
St. Amand and Ligny. ~ 
Theenemy continued his march 
along the road from Charleroy
