surrcction, I suggested to Mr. 

 Russell, that the reformed liorse 

 should, if possible, be prepared to 

 check it. The reformed horse 

 were then acting against the Naiks 

 in Berar, but orders for tlieir 

 recall were immediately trans- 

 mitted and as promj)tly executed, 

 so that the first division of them 

 arrived on the frontier of Candeish 

 just as the banditti were assuming 

 a tangible form. The gallant 

 conduct of the Nizam's horse, and 

 the complete rout of the insur- 

 gents that ensued, have already 

 been reported to your Excellency. 

 The fugitives from this defeat 

 joined the party fiom the south- 

 ward, and shared in the losses it 

 met with at the hands of the Vin- 

 chookur. 



It appears to have been the in- 

 tention of both parties to form a 

 junction, after which, by the ac- 

 counts of the prisoners, they were 

 to have come to Poonah j but 

 probably their plan was to have 

 plundered the country, and to have 

 taken advantage of any opening 

 that might afford them a prospect 

 of success against any of our de- 

 tachments or their supplies. 



A body of the insuigents has 

 long been mentioned as having 

 descended into the south of the 

 Concan ; they have lately moved 

 north as far as Roose Ashtumee, 

 and the fear of their approach has 

 occasioned the desertion of the 

 villages on the Bombay-ioad : two 

 companies of Native Infantry 

 marched from Poonah this morn- 

 ing to keep open the communi- 

 cation.

in pursuit of the troops that 

 had come from Mahadco, which 

 amounted to ^000 horse, and two 

 or 300 foot : they effected a junc- 

 tion with the other rebels from 

 Gunnaispoor, (who had previously 

 been defeated by the Nizam's 

 troops.) I came in sight of them 

 at last, when they immediately 

 took to flight, and were pursued 

 for several coss, till 1 totally dis- 

 persed them, and took about 500 

 horses : this done, I halted on 

 Saturday morning at Jaunderee, 

 and remained there all day ; on 

 Monday I marched to Lassoor, and 

 shall move on Tuesday to Vin- 

 choor.

Calcutta Government Gazette, 

 March 20. 



We know of nothing that de- 

 serves better our most hearty con- 

 gratulations, than the .successful 

 achievement which has freed us 

 from the continual provocation and 

 resistance of a rebel power, in the 

 heart of the British territories, 

 and has put us in possession of 

 his abandoned fort. This subject 

 of exultation is still more height- 

 ened by the giatifying considera- 

 tion, that the extensive militaiy 

 operations carried on against Hat- 

 rass have been attended with al- 

 most no loss of lives.
