APPENDIX TO 
pear to have been made on this 
occasion with a spirit and alacrity 
becoming British officers. 
It will be satisfactory to the 
Government to observe, that in 
this rencontre (the first which 
has taken place between the Se- 
poys andthe Goorkah troops since 
the successful resistance of the 
latter from the walls of their forts) 
our native infantry, animated by 
the example, and under the guid- 
-ance of their European officers, 
have maintained their accustomed 
superiority in close conflict, with 
an enemy of determined courage, 
aided by the natural strength of 
his position. ’ 
The fall of Kalunga, and the 
impression produced by the ulti- 
mate fate of the garrison, not- 
withstanding its protracted and 
gallantresistance, hasbeen attend- 
ed with the most beneficial con- 
sequences. The confidence that 
had been created by the events 
before Kalunga has abated ; 
and the spirit of insurrection 
against the Goorkah tyranny, 
which the same events had re- 
pressed, has now decidedly mani- 
fested itself. : 
A very strongly stockaded posi- 
tion which the enemy occupied on 
the heights above the town of 
Calsia was precipitately abandon- 
éd, after a feeble resistance, on 
the advance of a small detachment 
sent against it on the 28th ultimo, 
by Lieut.-colonel Carpenter, un- 
der the command of Capt. Past, 
of the 1st battalion of the 17th 
native infantry, accompanied by 
a party of irregulars, which had 
been collected in the country by 
Mr. Frazer, with his usual inde- 
fatigable zeal in the public ser- 
vice. 
CHRONICLE. aii 
The dispatch from Col. Maw- 
by, under date ofthe 7th instant; 
will apprize the Governor-general 
of the evacuation of the strong 
fort of Barunt, situated on one 
side of those high mountains, 
which, rising in continuous masses 
from the north eastern boundary 
of the valley of the Dhoon, extend 
to the great Himmalcheh range. 
The possession of this place is of 
greatimportance, commanding not 
only the district of Jaunsur, lying 
between the Jumna and Touse 
rivers, but one of the enemy’s 
main communications between 
his western army, under Ummeer 
Sing, and the countries held in 
subjection by its presence, and 
the dominions of Nepaul east of 
the Ganges. This event appears 
to have been accelerated by the 
defection of the head landholders 
and inhabitants of the country. 
The post of Lackerghaut on the 
Ganges, where it forms the. east-= 
ern limit of the valley of the 
Dhoon, and by which the enemy's 
direct and principal communica- 
tion with Ummeer Sing’s army 
was maintained before the Britislr 
troops entered the valley, is in 
possession of one of our detach- 
ments, which completes the occu- 
pation of the Dhoon, and of the 
principal passes leading into it. 
The occupation of this valley 
formed the earliest object of the 
Commander in chief’s attention 
in the plan which his Excellency 
had resolved to adopt for the cam- 
paign to the westward ; because 
it necessarily cut off the lower, 
most direct, and most frequent 
line of communication between 
the capital and the eastern domi- 
nions of Nepaul, and its army and 
es provinces west of the
