General Franks had taken the field in the end of December, with a strong brigade under him, intending to operate on the southern and eastern frontier, in harmony with the Goorkhas under Jung Bahadoor. He marched from Benares with a troop and battery of Royal artillery. a wing of H. M.’s 10th and H. M.’s 37th and 17th. Having twice gained brilliant victories over the enemy, he marched on the 10th to Chanda, a village about 12 miles from Chegra Mhow. When about eight miles on the way the enemy suddenly opened fire on our advanced guard from behind a vast mound of earth which concealed them. Our 18-pounders were immediately brought to bear upon them, when they quitter their strongly intrenched position and fled, leaving eight guns in our hands, with sixty or eighty killed. Our skirmishers and Horse Artillery pursued for about 3 miles, when they found themselves getting too far a head of their supports. The main body of the brigade followed and encamped where the country had every appearance of being clear around.
