The regiment had fifty men killed and wounded; no officers were killed, but the following were wounded--Captain Richard Bayley, Lieutenant M. J. Molloy, and Surgeon Robert Erskine. On the succeeding day, the following statement was published in orders,--'It is with the greatest satisfaction that Lieut.-Colonel Chalmers congratulates the troops he has the honour to command, on the glorious success obtained yesterday, against the attack of an enemy whose force did not amount to less than thirty thousand men. He begs leave to offer his most particular thanks to Lieut.-Colonel PICTON, who commanded the right wing of this little force, with a wing of the TWELFTH regiment, and to the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates, whose gallantry and high discipline have, on all occasions, appeared conspicuous. Lieut.-Colonel Chalmers has to offer his thanks to Major HAMILTON, who commanded on the left, with a wing of His Majesty's TWELFTH regiment, and to the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates, whose gallant conduct needs no further comment, than that they belonged to His Majesty's TWELFTH.' The Political Resident, Colonel C. Macauly, stated in a letter to Lieut.-Colonel Chalmers, 'I have received the details of the victory over the united force of the Divan--an achievement that reflects signal honour on the discipline and animated valour of the troops under your command, and sheds fresh lustre on the British arms.' A numerous army of opponents continued to hover near the British force at Coulan, and it was deemed advisable to cut down many of the trees, to throw up a breast-work in front of the encampment, and to construct a redoubt, which was armed with the guns taken from the enemy. In the mean time, the company of the TWELFTH under Lieutenant Thompson, with the battalion of Sepoys, commanded by Major Hewett, left for the defence of the port of _Cochin_, had been attacked by the troops of the Rajah of the province of Cochin. During the action, the Sepoys gave way, and the company of the TWELFTH had to maintain a desperate struggle with very superior numbers. The enemy was repulsed, and the inhabitants of Cochin were preserved from a general massacre, with which they had been menaced for being favourable to the British interests; they openly attributed their preservation to the distinguished heroism of the company of the TWELFTH, which had half its non-commissioned officers and private soldiers killed and wounded; Lieutenant Thompson was severely wounded, and died a short time afterwards.
