A set of dispatches are then

mary is contained in the follow-

General Orders by the right Hon. 
the Commander in Chief. 
Head-Quarters, Futtyghur, 
April 26, 1815. 
_ The commander in chief has 
this day received from Major Ge- 
neral Ochterlony commanding the 
3d division field army, a report, 
announcing the successful result 
of a series of combined move- 
ments, which he had directed tu 
be made during the nights of the 
14th and 15th instant against the 
fortified positions of the Goorkah 
army, on the heights of Malown, 
which terminated in the establish- 
ment of the British troops on 
those heights, the evacuation of 
the fort of Sooraghur, with its 
dependant stockaded posts, and 
in the final repulse, on the morn- 
ing of the 16th instant, of the 
main body of the Goorkah army, 
directed by its chief commander, 
mmer sing Thappah, in person, 
in a daring and desperate assault 
on the position occupied by the 
reserve under Lieut.-Col. Thomp- 
son. His excellency feels it to 
be due to Major General Ochter- 
lony, and the brave officers and 
troops serving under him, to ex- 
press, in public orders, his high- 
est approbation of the eminent 
ability and skill with which the 
attack on the enemy’s positions 
was planned ; the. intelligence, 
ardent zeal, and exemplary valour 
with which it was executed by 
the several officers entrusted with 
the directiqn of separate columns, 
237 
and of the patience and fortitude 
displayed by the whole of the 
troops during those fatiguing and 
arduous operations, as well as of 
their distinguished gallantry in 
that last effort, which completed 
their triumph over an enemy of 
determined courage and indefati- 
gable activity. 
The Commander in Chief con- 
siders this success of the division 
under Major-general Ochterlony, 
under all the circumstances in 
which it was achieved, and in the 
important consequences by which 
it was followed, as highly honour- 
able to the British arms, the su- 
periority of which it has pre-emi- 
nently asserted and maintained. 
The commander in Chief de- 
sires to offer, in this public man- 
ner, his warmest acknowledge 
ments to Major general Ochter- 
lony, for the ability, zeal, judg- 
ment, and persevering fortitude 
with which he has uniformly con- 
ducted the arduous and important 
service entrusted to him, from the 
first commencement of his ope- 
rations, to that recent success 
which his Excellency confidently 
trusts will be decisive of their 
speedy and honourable termina- 
tion. 
The commander in chief also 
desires to offer, in this public 
manner, his best thanks to the 
undermentioned officers who have 
obtained the approbation of Ma- 
jor-general Ochterlony, .and to 
whose services in the attack on 
the heights of Malown, and in 
the subsequent repulse of the 
enemy, he has borne the most 
ample. and creditable testimony 
in his report to his Excellency.
