OPERATIONS OF GEN. HAVELOCK. We have received the following most interesting leiter from | the military friend to whom we were indebted for the narrative (of General Havelock’s proceedings which appeared in our pum- | berof the 1h of September. Although the Jetter has been | delayed from the difficulties of communication, and the events related by the writer occurred some weeks prior to the date of | the latest intelligence now before us, we cannot withhold from jour readers his clear and graphic account of movements that will ever hold a prominent place in the records of the present | struggle :-~ Ilaverocn’s Cos.umy, Avgust 19th, 1857. My last communication fell amongst thieves! A party of the | Dinapore mutineers stopped the down-country Caleuita post- ; cart somewhere below Benares, and tore up all the letters, ) amongst which was my unlucky epistle; hence, if the present one prove more lengthy than usual, letihe blame fall upun their brown shoulders. , If I remember rightly, my last account of the operations of Havelock’s column was carried up to the lgnding of the ad- vanced guard on the Oude side of the Ganges, with the infor- mation that the remainder of the troops were then engaged in crossing the river fromm the Cawnpore side. ‘This operation was both difficult and tedious, owing to the strength of the current, and the small number of boats procurable; it was, however, effected by the 23h of July. On the 27th the force moved forward a few miles, to camp on the high ground, clear of the low-lying Gangetic valley, and allow of the remaining com- Nyssariat stores coming up from the river. On the 29.b the advance toworda Lucknow began in earnest. The force moved off at daylight, with the knowledge that they might expect to meet with opposition at a village called Unao, | three or four mieson ahend, said to be occupied by some meu ‘and guns; hence, no one Was surprised when, om nearing the | place, three guns opened onus. ‘t'wo of our field-pieces moved |) forward and soon silenced their fire ; but as the troops moved ) on, a line of white puffs of smoke fiom the orchard and garden walls surrounding the place, gave evidence that the maichlock- | (men meant to show ficht. On this the skirmishers dashed for- / ward, and soon diove them out of their orehards into the | village; but when our men attempted to follow up their success, und clear the village, they were met by an opposition which | fairly astonished the English solun rs. These mud-walled villages of Oude, and their fighting inha- | bitanrs, areamong the most peculiar features of the country. | Every hamlet is at chrome fend with ils neighbors, aud ail of | them look upon open rebellion against the fareser of their taxes jas a sacred duty. ‘The consequence is, that-» century of prac- tical experence in the art of self-defence has converted these | villages tuto almost impregnable fortifications, and the villagers | themselves into probably the best garrison Loops in the world. A hundred Qude men will fee frou teacou the open plain, bat piace Len of the syme wen behud a loop-heled anud wall, and they will held their own against a bundred, aor think it much to Such was the case now In the petty viliege of Unao |Our troops were inthe place aud all round u, yet they eouk? do fcomparatively nothing. and were dropping fast under the builets of their unseen foes: Thrice did a portion of the best regiment in the field charge a mud-wa'!led enclosure containing a number of men, and thrice were they dren back, with heavy Joss of | officers and men. At length it was determined to fire the piace; | ths artillery drew back, por“fires were lyid t» the thatch, and ithe men of the Light Companies stoud waiting round the oul- | | } do, i the rats to bolt. Just at ths moment the enterprising field engineer of the force, who had ridden on round to the front by himnse!f to recou- noite, caihe spurring back jn hot hasre with the imformation that a very large force of infantry, cavalry and guns was rapidly advancing frou the other side npon Unuo—whereupon the work in the village wus left, half done, for the Sikhs to finish, and the whole force was ordered to turn the village by the right, and move on to the front as fast as possible. This was no easy mattér as far as the artillery were con- jcerned, for the ground was heavy, and often the guns stuck in a swainp for five mimutes together ander a galling fire of match- locks ; but at length the main road was gained aguin, and we pushed on through the groves which encweled the place, Beyond these trees lay a level swampy plain of vast extent, traversed by a raised road, and over this we now beheld a force of fully 6,090 men coming down at full. swing on our front fand Jefi flank, with their guns in advance, distant abont 1,500 | ; ~}yards, Our jeading artiilery gua instantly unlimbered, and | ; : _ oT aa |of a portion of the force, consisting of the 78ib, the Fusiléers, The remainder of the troops | | came into action at ibe edge of the grove to check this advance, snd give our infantry time to deploy, while the other guns, as | ihey caine up one by one, went into action in line with the first. i | by this time the enemy’s artillery had closed to within a thon | sand yords and opened fire, The sun was at the backs of the | Nuglish gunners, and they had distinetly-seen objects to fire at. In ten minutes they had silenced the fire of the enemy's leading | } guns, and the whule English foice was marching forward en ithe foe, with the artillery in the centre, moving along the raised | [road. I declare the disproportionate idea of such a groceeding | iseemed almost ludicrous to me, as { Jooked forward at the vast | | masses af infantry and cavalry with which the plain swarmed in front,and then backward at the small, thin line of men strug. | gling ou, with sloped arms, knee-deep in swamp. Yet there | was not ove of those grim-bearded Englistimen that did not! |know we should beat the foe; and a groan ran down the line, /* Oh, Gaat we bad but cavalry to cut the dogs up!”’ During this advance the artillery came into action as there was occasion for it, and, pressing onward, gun after gun of the enemy was abandoned oo the road, while those in front of their left flank siuck im the swamp as they tried to carry them off, and were feft to their fate. At last our guns came pear enough to open on their infantry, and saddles began to einpty amongst their cavalry under the tire of our Enfield rifles on the right. The horsemen went threes about~—there was a waver amongst the infantry—and then the whole went off pell-me}l to a village in the distance across the plain, where we saw them haddted together like a flock of sheep, leaving us masters of the field and fiiteen captured guns. It was now past 2 p. m., and the | troops halied where they stood, for a couple of hoyrs, to cook and eat. After this they marched again to Busarat Gunge, a large walled vilage surrounded by swainps, about eight miles ahead, to which the enemy had retreated, and where, as we learnt, they again intended to make a stand. On reaching this place, we found they had three more guns | io position—two behind a mud wall buijt across the road, and /oneon an elevated mud bastion. .The two guns on the road were quickly smashed and silenced by the fire of our artillery, but the little fellow in the bastion—a small native prince—re- | mained popping away after our troops had advanced, tli a lucky | 9-pounder knoeked him off his petch. “The Sepoys made but a. feeble defence, and, were speedily. driven out of the village.4 Notso the matchlock-men. They fought boldly and well, bur | our men Were fierce and flushed with snecess, and house after | |house was stormed and carried, till the village was finally | \evacuated. | Here | cannot help putting a record the indomitable courazé after his own fashion —of one of these Oude villagers who wes | i ; i ‘certuin extent disheartened.

So the end of it was, a party of Sikhs went and smoked him out; and the poor wretch was shot through the head as he wes crauing over the pwrapet for a last hit at Hie enemies. The English troops encamped that night on the catiseway beyond the village, having fought fromeanrise til] sunset, and captured twenty-one puns, amongst which were two complete nine-pound Knglish batteries, bran mew, from the Cossipore Foundry. - Our loss during this day’s fight was heavy for our small force —nearly a hundred men killed and wounided= end the number of wounded took vp neerly the whole of the avoilable sick carriage of the force; so that, in case we fought another ection, we should be almost deprived of the means of carrying Off our wounded. It was probably this cirenmstance, coupled with the knowledge that further opposition might be expected on the road, independent of the heavy fight which was certain to await the force before the city of Lucknow, that induced the officer commanding the column, to order a retrograde movement the next day. And yet it seems a pity that this was done, for there was much to advance on the other side of the question. The English force had gained a decided and really important victory within thicty-two miles, a. ¢., a forced mareh and a-half of Lucknow. By following close upon the heels of the beaten foe, we might calculate on meeting with but slight opposition al (he only one dangerous place on the rovd—the Banoo Bridge, twelve miles in front of us; and from thenee inte Lacknow the road was perfectly clear. At Lucknow itself it was known there oust be a fight, and a heavy one: yet it was also known that we could place our guns in such a position as would enable us, in Conjunction with the guns of the Residency, to shell the whole city; and this, coupled with the prestige of our victory, our rapid advance and the tales of the fugiives flying headlong before us, might count for something in the calculation of the chances. The English suldiery, too, were in great heart. They knew the difficulties, including the constant fighting we inust suffer on our backward march from Lucknow, und stilt thought they could do uw. Men in such a humour gé far. Above all, the stake to be played for was a'grevt one, Phe moral effect of a successful advance through the hostile country of Oude, and the relief of the Lucknow yarrison, would have been incalculable on the country at large, «If, it was argued, ‘the force he now considered too smal to effeer ita object, why was notthat considered and decided on the other side of the river? Once across the Ganges, caution becomes a misplaced virtue ; and Danton’s mexin, *l’e dare, end to dare, and ‘o dare again,’ the only safe ruie of guidance ina desperate case. And, finally, to retrest, instead of advancing, was’ at once to deprive the Soglish of the prestige of their previous viciories, _tand to enlist agaiust them ait those of the fickle minded Tndtans who had, ull then, remained qniet, watehing the course of events.” So te force marched again to their old cainp, the fortified village of Mungulwarra, and immedinely began to strengthen their position by loophohng walls, throwing ap breastworks, and! 30 on, till, after two days’ dight work, it became an enirenched camp, Wherein we might have delied the whole of Oude. And here we abode, warming for reiutercements. At this time a manifesto was issucd by the head of the force to the people of Oude, stating why we, the English, had entered their counlry,, “hom we had cawe to fight wah, and the like, Unfortpnately, this was one ef these geod things whieh tose a) ‘heir mtended effect—indeed sometimes produce the contrary resuli~ from not having been dosesat the proper time Mad (this proclamation been isseed when the Hnglish arniy firet crossed ive river, the people for whom it was intended would have received it at more than 4s full worth; it would have queted the minds of the cultivators, and the effect on eur vperations Would lave been proportionate. ht was not: done ; we marched on; and the men vf Oude stood in doubt as to whether our hostilities would be directed against them or not. But when the proclamation came forth, after the Nnglish had retreaicd !—to use the qudint lar guage of my mformant, (he spy —‘* Now, the Gemindars Jangh; and those who sat quiet in their houses before rise up and gird their swords round their loins, and are off with their fifieen o¢ twenty matehlock-nen to join the Nena Salub5’'—for | forgotio mennoa that this areh- villain is, as I anticipated, by no means defanct ; he crossed the river into Oude, fought egaiust us at Busanet Guuge, atid was the first to run away. On the 4th August, the force again advanced towards Luck- now, having received in the imtertm reinforcewvemts of about 150 men, and two 24-pounder heavy guns fully eqaipped. ‘The enemy had again come down to Besarut Gunge, and were said to be collected in great numbers, and strongly entrenched at a place called Nawab Guage, five mies beyond, on the road to Lucknow, The troops bivouacked at Unwo that night, and on reaching Busarut Gunge next morning, were greeted by the fire of two guns. ‘To ese our heavy Puns responded, doing fearful execution areongst the crowds which filled the villege; while the position was iucned by a flank movement te the night, and the Royal Artulery battery. then passed on through the village, and cameo the canseway crossing the swamp, from the other ade of which the enemy were keeping up a hot fire of matehlocks and guns, buth on the |causeway, and on the right wing of our force, who returned their fire with interest across the water, ‘lakimg advantag® of the diversica Ubus made, the S4ih dashed across the causeway and began skirmishing on the other side.’ The heavy gans followed, and opened file a’ grape range on the enemy’s cavalry, who were scattered to the four winds by three volleys. We were now ina thickly culliated country, studded with petty hamlets, each of which was filled with matehlock-men. The whole force crossed the causeway, and spread out to right and left, engaging the villagers and driving back the Sepoys ia front, while the guns moved aloug the road wn advance. In this order we passed through the belt of cultivation, and came ont on an open plain, where stood large tents and smali\,and haifa dozen different camps crowded with troops, under as many diffe- rent fortified villages bristling with matchlock men, Oar artil- lery immediately opened fire on the largest camp, where wage protentious red and white striped tent, with numbers of cavelry and infantry, and some guns, all of which beat a most precipi- tate retreat directly the 24 grape shot and shrapnel began to crop amongst the:n. But our guns were far in advance of our infantry, aud could not venture to follow up without support; « halt was theretore sounded, to allow of the remaiming troopa eoming up: and when they arrived the order was given to cook and eat, while a consultation was held as to the expediency of pursuing the advautage already gained, and going on to atiack Nuwab Gunge. The result of this deliberation was an order to retreat to our old camp—and, in my humble opimen, wisely so, for thechence was gone. Before this, we had only a few wrong-headed Ze- mindars to coutend with, on the side of the mutimeers—now, the whole population were up in arms against us. The Sepoys we held of smal] account; but it would be no slight thing fora thousand men to fight a people. Besides which, there was no concealing the fact that our English soldiery were now toa Sickness, exposure, and unin- termitiing fatigue had done their work... Calera, fewer, and dysentery were rife in the camp; and a date order, comtaining an insinuation against the courage of an unnamed portion of the foree—that force which had fought and done so much for its commander—had, as a matter of course, been taken. to iteelf. by each individual regiment, and created a feeling of universal dissatisfaction, It was stated—with what truth [ know not—that the cause of BARNS, STABLES, Coach House, and other Out-Buildings are in in a little mud fort at the entrance of the place which had been| the previous retreat was the receipt of a posite order from the good repair, and are convenient and commodious.
