who had promised to send him a 

 large body of Pindarries. 



I am happy to say the loss on 

 our part was as little as can be 

 expected ; and I should imagine 

 it cannot exceed 10 men killed, 

 and 20 or 25 wounded ; amongst 

 the latter, I regret to state, is 

 Captain Pedlar, severely. 



I shall haAC the honour to for- 

 ward a return * of the killed 

 and wounded as soon as it can be 

 prepared. 



1 cannot close this despatch 

 without expressing the high sense 

 I entertain of the assistance I re- 

 ceived fromCapt. Pedlar and Lieut. 

 Rind, who joined me as a volun- 

 teer on this occasion ; the former 

 of whom had charge of the right, 

 and the latter of the left wing. I 

 have much pleasure in assuring 

 you, that although we had march- 

 ed upwards of 50 miles befoie the 

 attack commenced, not a man of 

 the infantry had fallen in the rear; 

 and I feel convinced, from the 

 eagerness they displayed on the 

 occasion, that if an opportunity 

 had oflered they would have af- 

 forded me every assRtance. 



The behaviour of both officers 

 and men composing the detach- 

 ment of reformed horse with me 

 in this affair exceeded my most 

 sanguine expectations. Theie was 

 not a single oificer who did not 

 distinguish himself, and they were 

 most gallantly supported by their 

 men. 



I have the honour to be, &c. 



Evan Da vies, Capt. 

 Commanding the Reformed Horse. 



Captain George Sydenham, 

 Political Agent in Berar.

Camp, Guardoon, April 23 • 

 SiK, — I have the highest satis- 

 faction in laying before you two 

 despatches whicii 1 received late 

 last night from Major H. Smith, 

 of the 1st battalion 14th regiment 

 jNIadras Native Infantry, com- 

 manding a detachment of six com- 

 panies, composed of Bombay and 

 Madras troops, whicli had been 

 sent out from the reserve against 

 a large body of horse in the ser- 

 vice of Trimbuckjee Dainglia, and 

 announcing the result of his per- 

 severing exertions in completely 

 putting the whole to rorit, killing 

 and wounding about 70 meu, 

 making some prisoners, and cap- 

 turing a quantity of baggage and 

 arms, and many horses. 



I cannot sufficiently praise the 

 excellent conduct of Major Smith 

 and his detachment, and trust 

 their services on this occasion may 

 prove acceptable to the Right 

 Honourable the Governor Gene- 

 ral. I have, &c. 



Lionel Smith, Colonel. 



P. S. I have the further honour 

 to enclose a copy of orders I con- 

 sidered due to the detachment.
