Extracts from Mapras Courier on Tippoo's War Progress
The May 1491 dispatches describe the 22d ult march from Wincatygherry toward Bangalore with heat and rain casualties, the army encamping five miles south east of Bangalore, and Tippoo’s movements toward Colar and Deonelly. Sir Cornwallis orders efficient provisioning, reduced baggage, and a push toward Seringapatam as Abercrombie’s force advances. The narrative notes desertions, Maratta forces, and the looming monsoon complicating operations yet leaves open the prospect of victory at Seringapatam.

Seringapatam Campaign Battle Narrative From May to May
The passage describes a heavy assault near Seringapatam with Lord Cornwallis ordering a night march to strike at daybreak. The right wing pressed the hill position despite enfilading fire and a cavalry threat, driving the enemy from a key height and capturing guns. Casualties were heavy on both sides, with notable officers killed or wounded. The army then encamped on the contested ground and prepared for further operations as rains hindered forage and movement.
