Camp, Ferozepure, December 17, 1842. This day Major-General Sir Robert Sale, G.C.B., passed the Sutlej at the head of all the troops which composed the garrison of Jellalabad.

The Major-General was received at the foot of the bridge by the Governor-General and his Excellency the commander-in-Chief.

The army of reserve, formed in one line extending two miles and a half, received the Major-General, and the garrison of Jellalabad, in review order, with presented arms.

A salute of nineteen guns was fired as the Major-General passed the centre of the line.

Captain Somerset, Military Secretary, and Captain Colville, A. D.C., to the Governor-General, had, on the 14th instant, conveyed the medals granted to the garrison of Jellalabad, under an escort of the body guard, to the camp of the Major-General, and all the officers and soldiers of the garrison passed the bridge of the Sutlej, wearing the honor they have so justly

won.

Camp, Ferozepore, December 18, 1842. This day Major-General Pollock, C.B. passed the Sutlej, at the head of the artillery and cavalry, and of the 2nd brigade of infantry of the army under his command.

The Major-General was received at the foot of the bridge by the Governor-General.

The 26th regiment of Native Infantry attached to the 2nd brigade, was, at the desire of the Governor-General, formed into a hollow square, and the GovernorGeneral entering the square with Major-General Pollock, informed

Major Huish, commanding the regiment, that Major-General Pollock having, in an especial manner, expressed his obligations to the 26th regiment, and represented their exemplary conduct on all occasions as meriting a particular mark of the approbation of the Government, he had great gratification in bestowing upon them, on their return to India, the honor of being henceforward a regiment of Light Infantry.

By order, &c.,

T. H. MADDOCK.

The attack commenced between seven and eight o'clock in the morning, and the firing totally ceased in about two hours from that time. The place was completely in our possession by ten o'clock.

2. Whether I gave up the town to plunder for a fixed number of hours, or suffered the troops to wreak vengeance upon it in their own way, and as long as they chose?

My instructions from MajorGeneral Pollock being to destroy the town by fire, I did not deem it necessary to restrain the troops employed in its capture from seizing such property as they might find in it. The 2nd brigade was principally concerned in the action, and was not withdrawn to camp

till about half-past four o'clock in the afternoon, when it retired, having been relieved by Brigadier Stacey's brigade. During a part of their stay in the place, all the soldiers, sepoys, and camp followers took possession of whatever they found in the houses; but with regard to Her Majesty's 9th Regiment, I am enabled to state that, for three hours previous to retiring, Lieut.Col. Taylor assembled the regiment in a garden, and restrained the plunder as much as possible. The articles chiefly taken by the men of that corps were quilts, nearly all of them having lost their bedding during the advance to Cabul. On the following morning, with a view to the restoration of order and discipline, I took measures for putting a stop to the pillage, by sending Brigadier Tulloch with the 2nd brigade to relieve Brigadier Stacey's troops. Brigadier Tulloch's orders were to patrol the place, and expel from it all soldiers not on duty, and all camp followers. The provost serjeant, with a detachment of irregular cavalry, was posted in the town throughout the day, to aid in carrying these orders into effect.
