A dispatch, dated Fort William, 
February 20, 1815, together with 
its enclosures, of which the fol- 
lowing are extracts, have been re- 
ceived, at the East India House, 
from the Vice-President in Coun 
cil. 
For a statement of the ope- 
rations of the division of the army, 
commanded by Colonel _Ochter- 
lony, from the 27th of November 
down to the close of December, 
we have the honour to refer your 
honourable Court to a dispatch 
from Mr. Secretary Adam, dated 
the 10th of January. 
The skill, judgment, persever- 
ance, and patience which have 
distinguished the conduct of Co- 
lonel Ochterlony in the arduous 
service in which he is employed, 
cannot fail to attract the particu- 
lar notice of your Honourable 
Court. The exertions of that able 
officer still continued to be di- 
rected against the enemy’s sup- 
plies, and such of his new posi- 
tions as might be found to be as- 
sailable. 
Extract of a Letter from John 
Adam, Esq. Secretary to Go-

ANNUAL REGISTER, 
1815 
vernment at the Presidency, 
dated Camp at Iheend, Feb. 10, 
1815. 
I am directed to transmit to 
you, for the purpose of being laid 
before his Excellency the Vice 
President in Council, the enclosed 
copy of a letter from the Adjutant 
General, under date the 8th in- 
stant, enclosing copies of dis- 
patches from Colonel Ochterlony, 
and containing a statement of the 
operations of the division of the 
. army under that officer’s command 
subsequently to the 27th Novem- 
ber, up to which date they are al- 
ready known tothe Vice President 
in Council, from the communi- 
cations which I had the honour to 
make to you from time to time. 
The general result of the opera- 
tions detailedinthe enclosed papers 
has also been communicated to his 
Excellency in Council, inmy letter 
to your address of the 5th instant, 
enclosing Colonel Fagan’s -dis- 
patch of 2nd instant. 
The Vice President in Council 
will perceive with satisfaction the 
testimony borne by Lieutenant 
Colonel Thompson to the troops 
under his command, composing 
the reserve of Colonel. Och- 
terlony’s division, in repulsing 
the determined attack made on 
their position by Ummer Sing, 
on the morning of the 29th of 
December. 
Although the movement of the 
reserve on the preceding day did 
not completely effect the accom- 
plishment of the principal object 
in Colonel Ochterlony’s contem- 
plation, it has nevertheless, his 
Lordship conceives, been attend 
ed with considerable advantage, 
which, his Lordship is assured, 
Colonel Ochterlony will turn to 
the best account.
