in Hindustan, a village situated a few miles from the left bank of the river Sutlej. Here, on the 21st December 1845, the camp of the Sikhs was attacked by the British army under Sir Hugh Gough (afterwards Lord Gough), and Sir Henry Hardinge (afterwards Lord Hardinge). The camp was formidably intrenched, and the contest was most severe. The fall of night did not altogether put an end to it, the guns of the assailants continuing to play on part of the enemy's intrenchments. On the 22d fighting was resumed, and the final result was a complete triumph to the British arms; but it was dearly purchased. The loss of the victors was immense; and among Ferozepoor the killed were included some of the best and most distinguished officers of the British army. Through a mistake, the force employed in the attack was lamentably deficient in the two important arms of war, cavalry and artillery; which led to a prolongation of the conflict, and might have affected its termination.
