In July and August the EIGHTY- SEVENTH regiment, in Bengal, was increased by a detachment of thirteen Serjeants, three drummers, and two hundred and sixty- nine rank and file, men who had been transferred on the second battalion being disbanded on the 1st of February 1817. The regiment remained at Cawnpore until the 15th of October, when it received orders to march to Secun- dra, where the grand army was formed under the com- mand of the Marquis of Hastings, against the Pindaree hordes, and hav...ing remained there until a bridge of boats was completed over the Jumna, it crossed that river on the 27th, and marched to the banks of the Sind, opposite Gualior; but the grand army being, about this time, attacked by that fatal disease, the cholera morbus, compelled the Marquis, with his troops, to re- tire to Erich on the Bettwah : the mortality for four or five days was very great, particularly among the natives, Avho died in vast numbers on the road and in the vil- lages through which the army passed.
