Our columns of all arms debouched four rales on the road to Ferozseshah, where it was known that the enemy, posted in great force, and vith a most formidable artillery, had remained nee the action of 18h, incessantly employed in entrenching his position. Instead of advancing to the direct attack of their formidable works, our force mancuvred to their right; the second and the first division and cavalry in second line, conti- nued to defi'e for some time out of cannon shot betweenthe Sikha and Ferozepore. ‘The desired etfect was not long delayed. A cloud of dust was geen on our left, and, according to the instructions march to unite was soon effected, and thus was accomplished one of the great objects of all uur harassing marches and privations, in the relief of this division of our army from the blockade of the numerous force by which it was surrounded. 4 Dispositions were now made for a united attack onthe enemy’s entrenched camp. We found it to a parallel ogra, of about a mile in length and half a mile in breadth, including within its area the strong village of Ferozeshzh, the shorter sides look- ing towards the Sutlej and Moodkee, and the lnaess towards Ferozepore and the open country. We moved against the last-named force, the ground in front of which was like the Sikh position at Mood- kee, covered with low jungle. ) , The divisions of Major General Sir John Littler, ae Wallace, (who had succeeded Maj.Gene- tal Sir John M. Cash,) and Major General Gilbert, deployed into line, having in the centre our whole force of artillery, wich the exception of three troops Of horse arnilery, one on either flank and one in sprang is onde to be moved as occasion required.

General Sir aety, Hardinge, while I personally conducted the yl very peavy: cannonade was opened by the ene- my, who had dispersed over their position upward: of one hundred guns, more than forty of which were of battering calibre. These kept up a heavy and well-directed fire, which the practice of our far lesa numerous artillery, of much lighter metal, checked in some degree, but could not silence. Finally, in the face of a storm of shot and shell, our infantry advanced, and carried these formidable entrench- ments. They threw themselves upon the guns, and with matchless gallantry wrested them from the ‘enemy; but when the batteries were partially within etry from the Sikh intantry, arrayed behind their guns, that, in spite of the most heroic efforts, aportion only of the entrenchment could be carried.

During the whole mght, however, they continued to harass our troops by fire of artillery, wherever moonlight red our position. ‘uD Bat with daylight of the 221 came retribution — Our infantry formed line, supported on both. flanks by horse artillery, whilst a fire was opened from our cenire by such of our heavy guns as remained eff-ctive, aided by a flight or rockets.

Without entering into details, for which I have Ro room, 1t may be stated that the army was out in all directions but the right one, in search of Abdel- ‘ader; that that dauniless hero had entered and Trax several of the French provinces,from which .it had been believed he had been driven forever, and that he had even had the audacity to advance within three hours march of Algiers itself. The suffe of the French soldiers been very great fren , and want of tood and clothing. fh the very condemned soldiers themselves had to be armed and sent into the field. At the date of the last advices, however, matters were improving in —— Marshal Bugeaud was in the Mezala, disconzolate place, hastinng the people for their ci revolt. lt was said that the Kubyles manifested lit- tle desire to follow Abdel-Kader, having found that he had deceived them. The tribes on the right bank of the Oued Sebaow had refused to join the ingur- rection. General Gentil had effected a junction with Marshal Bugeaud. In the Mitidja tranquility prevailed, as alse in the provinces of Constantine and Oran. But notwithstanding all this, the recent exploits of Abdel-Kader have given a terrible fright to the French generals, and serve to show how in- secure are the African possessions of this country.
