By*this defection General Burrows’ force was reduced te 2,200 men, /of whom 800 were British troops. Ayoob had 12,000 men, with 26 guns, and astrong cavalry force. Since, on the plains of Plassey, Clive, with his little band. of 5,000, routed Surajah Dowlali’s host of 55,000 men British generals have rarely shrank from a conflict with an Kasiern army, however great the disparity the result has justified their confidence. But there are not wanting records of defeats, as warn- against him, with him and 50 guns, of numbers: and, in most cases, ings agains! too’. great rashness; and the defeat of the 27th July must be added to {the tist. The Knglish General made the } ‘ , 3 jattack; and, for that purpose, left a very advantageous position which he had ocen- pied. At first the battle was an artillery duel. Then the British force brought their breech-loaders into play, and the battle was turning in their favor, tntil a splendid charge of Ayoob’s Ghazis (a cavalry force) completely broke the native infantry, end threw them back in eonfusion upon the men ef the 66th. At first the Europeans retreat was slow and orderly, but when the 600 foo; found themselves ent off fram the artillery and cavalry, and sntronnded by many thon- S21 { the eneniy, they broke, and fled in confusion to Candahar. Four hundred men of the 66th were killed and wounded, and six hundred others. ‘Twenty-one officers were killed or missing ; and of the twenty who returned, eight were wounded. ~That Ayoob’s force suffered badly, would appear from the fact that he inade no attempt to pursue. General Primrose then had time io prepare for the defence of Candahar, where he is now besieged, defending the with 5,500 infantry, 1,000 cavalry and 15 guns.
