Right Hon. the Governor in Council, published upon the several
occasions :
"Bombay Castle, 9th March, 1818.
" The reduction of the Fort of Madunghur was announced in
General Orders, of the 20th ultimo, but having since received a
detailed report from Lieutenant-Colonel Kennedy, of his
operations against that Fort and Jambah, the Right Honourable
the Governor in Council takes occasion, in publishing to the
Army, the Detachment Orders issued by Lieutenant-Colonel
Kennedy, again to express his cordial approbation of the conduct
of those engaged.
Detachment Orders by Lieutenant- Colonel Kennedy.
" Fort, 15th February, 1818.
"Lieutenant-Colonel Kennedy has the highest satisfaction in
congratulating the troops under his command on the brilliant
success of this morning.
" To Captain Farquharson, Lieutenants Dominicetti and
Cogan, of the Marine, to tlie seamen, native officers and soldiers,
volunteers for the storming party, Lieut.-Colonel Kennedy offers
his most sincere acknowledgments for the intrepid and gallant
manner in which they assaulted the triple stockatles in front of
the communication gateway, and carried by escalade the two
Forts of Madunghur and Jambah. For the excellent plan of
attack laid down in yesterday's Orders, and so gallantly carried
into execution this morning, Lieutenant-Colonel Kennedy is
indebted to Ca2:)tain Farquharson, who proposed and principally
arranged it. Neither can the Lieutenant-Colonel pass over
unnoticed the excellent conduct of Lieutenant Waddington, who
converted successfully into real attack what at first was intended
only to be feint.
" To Lieutenant Dominicetti and Ensign Dashwood, for their
highly zealous exertions in erecting the battery, Lieutenant-
Colonel Kennedy's best tluinks are due.
" The precision of the fire from the battery, where Ensign
Dashwood and Captain Robson, of the Marines, served, and of
the guns placed under charge of Captain Taylor and Lieutenant
Cogan, greatly contributed to the success of theenterprise,whilst
the manner in which the feint, under Cai)tain Taylor's di-
rections was conducted, does every credit to .lenuulur Sonmeter,
1st battalion lltli Regiment,* the Native ollieer leading it on.
"Lieutenant-Colonel Kennedy assures the whole of the
officers, military and marine, that no part of each individual's
merit shall pass unnoticed in his report to the Commander-in-
chief."
To this Order was appended the following by the Governor
in Council :
