A supplement to the Gazette contains, amid many despatches, one from Brigadier Walpole, explanatory of the disaster at Fort Hooya, which is as follows:- 1 directed my baggage to be massed in the open plain, near Madhognnge, under a strong guard of cavalry, infantry, and two field guns, and proceeded with the remainder of the tbrce towards Hooya, turning otl from the road, aboat two miles from Madhogungc, for the purpose of getting round to the north side of the fort, which was stated to be the weakest part of it, where there was a gate, and wiieie there were very few guns. The fort on the east and north side is almost surrounded with jungle, and at these two sides the only two gates were stated to be, which information proved correct. It is a large oblong, with numerous circular bastions all lound it, pierced for guns, and loopholcd for musketry, and surrounded by a broad deep ditch; there is an inner fort or citadel, surrounded in like manner by a deep ditch, and with a high wall considerably elevated above the rest of the work. On the west and part of the south side there was a large piece of water which was partially dried up. On arriving before the north side, I sent for- ward some infantry in extended order, to enable the place to be reconnoitred, when a heavy fire of musketry was immediately opened upon them, and an occasional gun the cavalry at the same time swept entirely round to the west side, to cut off all communication with the for!. A tolerable view of the fort having been obtained from the road wl,i?? ka,ls imo it fIom the north, the heavy guns were brought up; the two IS.pounders were placed on it; the two -incil nicrtars behind a wood still further to the light. After a short time, a great many of tbe intantry were killed and wounded from having crept up too near the r'ort. from which the fire of rifles and matchlocks was very heavy. These men had gone much nearer to the fort than I wished or intended them to go, and some of the Punjaub Kiflcs, with great courage, hut without orders, jumped into the ditch and were killed in endeavouring to get up the scarp. I there- fore gave directions that they should be withdrawn trom their torward and exposed situation, and here it was that I regret to say the gallant and able soldier, brigadier Hope was killed by a rifle or musket baU tired by a mllll t'rolJJ a 1¡i:;h 'ree within the waHs ofthe plaee. By bdf'p,1'¡ two o'cloch. the fire of our heavy guus ap- peared tohave made little or no impression upon the place, tne passage to wmch was not straight, and as it could not be approached without the men being exposed to a very heavy tire from the bastion and loop-holed walls that commanded it, I considered it better not to attempt an assault until more impression had been made upon the walls of the place, and as it was getting late, to withdraw from the north side and commence operations against the south-east angle on the following morning, which had been reconnoitred by the engineers, and where they thought it would be easier to effect a breach, cs it could be better, seen and a more direct fire could be brought to beM. I therefore directed the camp to be pitched on the south side, about a mile from the fort, and withdrew from the north side, where it would have been dangerous to have passed the night, as it was surrounded by thick jungle. Xext morning, at daylight, Major Brind, Bengal Anil1ery, and Captain Lennox, .Roy.il Engineers, proceeded again to reconnoitre the place thoroughly before recommencing operations, and found that the enemy had evacuated it. Till TA111W.; OF JHANSI. itere is also in the Gazette a very long despatch from Sir II. Kose, giving an account of his successful undertaking at Jhansi. He says:—A remarkable feature in the defence was, that the enemy had no works or posts outside the city. Sir Robert Hamilton estimated the numb r of the garrison at 10.000 bun- deelas and valartees, ami 1,000 "CPOYS, of whom 400 were cavalry; and the Dumber of guns in the city aid fort at 30 or 40.
