BOMBAY, JULY 12. The British forces in India are in a more preca rious position every day, in . oonsequeuce of the ex tension of the disaffected spirit to a number of regi ments hitherto waive, and the concentration of 'mutinous troops on two or three important points. Delhi, the ei4 British arsenal of magnitude in Central India, being in the hands of the rebels, Omani Bernsed has been placed under the obvious dindreanige of fighting against a well-provided My with sheet sad inadequate supplies of ammu nition. Ilse age train which he took with him tram Pklllonr was furnished with a limited quan tity of shot mad shell, and, strange to relate, was meneasepanied by artillerymen enough to work the lon It was lonni neoenary, at the latest moment, to ewaght a male , of gunmen from the mins seatiome of Lass* Femeepore, Loodhians, and ether places, with the painful certainty that lives so - replaced in ease of necessity for eeo een confined to the small arms, now enemy, aware, no ve harassed the be knowing that even .. we labour at mutinied at a distance ground _ a vicinity of the city in hirr numbers, and taking up positions in our roar, they render still more unsafe • position already full of dangers. To meet the exhaustion of our numbers by death, we have now at Delhi little er nothing to fall back upon, after the junction of the Punjaub forces and a wing of the Bombay European Fusiliers which marched from Mooltan to Lahore on the 22nd of June. AU that is known respecting reinforcements to General Barnard was, that a wing of her Majesty's 61st Foot left Ferozepore on the 13th of June, Loodianah on the 19th, Umballa on the 23rd, and bare doubtless arrived at Delhi by this time; that tie let Punjaub Irregular Cavalry, 500 sabres, under Colonel Hughes, left Ferozepore for Delhi on the 26th; that Brigadier Chamberlain, now acting adju tant-general of the army, had passed Kurnaul with his force, and reached the scene of operations on the 24th ; that further reinforcements had passed through Umballa ; that the Ist Punjaub Infantry had reached Kurnaul ; that the Kumaon battalion from Itawul Pindee bad started for Lahore, which it might expect to reach on the 4th of July; that the 4th Regiment of Punjaub Infantry, which left Ilunnoo for Lahore on the 28th of May, had reached Attock on the 10th of June; and that a wing of the 17th Irregular Cavalry, joined by a wing of the 9th Inc. gular Cavalry, had left Lahore for Delhi, the latter reaching Umballa on the 25th. On the other band, the moveable column under Brigadier-General Nicholson, at I'hillour, was paralysed by the disarmament of the 33rd and 35th N.I. on the 24th of June; whilst another moveable column, under General tan Cort landt, was busy in pursuit of a corps of mutineers through the sandy deserts of the Ilikaneer Itzjah's territory. Whilst our European army is thus likely to be but feebly reinforced from the northward, and cir cumstances at present render aid from the south ward impossible, the mutineers have gained con siderable accessions of strength from all quarters. They have despatched letters in every poi•silde direc tion, calling on their brother sepoys to aid them ; amongst others, one addressed to the mutineers of Bareilly and bloradabad, was intercepted at Haaper. In runs as follows: Tams the otfloers of the army at Delhi to the cflliors of the Esedly and Mandabad regiments. If yea ace ceasing to bap us, it is inmobrat on you that yea ma year feed them you weak your basis here, for ham the tight Is going as with she English, and, by the goadome d Gad, Irma sae defeat to IL is ten to them, and sew tromps are assembled here in larg e numbers. It is now for von to come hers, bee rte rewords and high a =be onnhirred by the King of Kings, the centre of wisest ty, the King of Delhi. We are looking out most sasfansiy for you, like heaters watching for the call of the 111111111:4111. Our ears are latent on tine thunder of the einnon, sad our eye. like the eyes of the liksid, are watching your road. Now, also, it is incumbent on you, tllnt yet eort.ider this soli am nay argent sad come, for our house is yours. ' • • " Come, oozes, for them is no nee Without the swing of your Kerma. The opening bud with draught Is as an infant without milk." _ There is no doubt that such calls 0.4 these base met with quick response, and that numbers have been added to the defenders of Delhi, who were thus able to maks daily . sorties, and harass Genernl Bernard's force, by keeping men and officers constantly on the alert. One of these sallies took pl ice on the 12th of June, and no doubt gave rise to the rumour that Delhi had fallen. The enemy stealthily crept up in the grey of the morning to both flanks of our position, which they simultaneously attacked. The arrangements of our outposts appear to have been defective, as the attack was a surprise. It is said, indeed, that too much time elapsed before the reserves were brought for ward. fhe enemy came on in form on the left of the position, attacking the battery in front of the flagstaff tower, and for a time silencing the guns; the artillerymen and a detachment of the 93th, headed by Captain Moller, of the 11th Native Infantry—there by chance—having enough to do to keep the entrance of the works and their position near the tower. Checked in front, the rebel sepoys tried to turn the left flank of the battery, and several of them made their way up . to the lines in the rear. Here, however, they again met with determined resistance, Captain Dunbar, of the 73th, making his position until the arrival of Lieutenant elley and a small number of the 73th enabled him to keep a steady front and kill several mutineers. The alarm now brought up part of the 2nd Bengal Europeans and 60th Rifles at double quick. At the same moment a 9-pounder battery in the centre of oar front opened a flank fire on the rebels as they were endeavouring to form in the advance and rush on to the battery at the Rag-staff, and this put an end to the effort in that quarter. Forty-five men of the 2nd and 73th were killed and wounded, Captain Knox (73th) being shot through the had as he led on hie men. The attack on the right of the position;st Hindoo ltao's bows, was less severe on General Barnard's tpops, mid ended in great loss to the rebe:s, who were seeseely handled by the Ghoorkas, 60th Rifles, and Peethaub Guides, losing upwards of 300 men, 30 of whom were caught in an enclosure and killed. On this occasion they came out, not in the uniform of English troops, but in the more easy deshabille of the Brahminical thread and dhutie, our medals hanging by ribbons round their necks. Their total loss in this attack appears to have been about 430 killed and wounded. In the evening a new position in advance of the flagstaff tower was taken, by Metcalfe'd House, distal t a mile from the city. There a battery was comm row!, for the parposoof breaching the wall of Delhi a the north-east angle, near the Cashmere gate. During the 13th and 14th a bombardment was 'maintained, sad red hot shot were thrown into the city, shells having been pitched even into the d, or maw, in the palace. A plan for sue- Prism, omme of the gates seems to have been &ben ison, is eamensence of the evident betrayal of oar plass. Os the 16th a sortie was made by the rebels ypinst. the DOW battery at Metealfe's House, but the Mask wee Wield and speedily repulsed. The 16th west by without casualty. The men worked hard at the Iletealb-hoens battery, which promised soon to be sompisted. Bane of the iheend Rajah's force were despatched to keep open the communication with Meerut by the Bhagpot road. The smug were observed on the 17th engaged in some works outside the Lahore gate, and at half-past four our troop turned out to ascertain what they t ig .

It was observed that a large building, or semi, called the Bed Ohah, opposite the Lahore gate, was occupied, and had been strengthened from without by defences constructed during the day. It was a 'Ellicott position to attack, the walls of the place being high and thick. Major Tombs' battery of horse artillery, the let Fusiliers, the 60th Rifles and Ghoorkss went to the assault, and, after a short resistance, carried all before them. The gates of the Seri were burst in, the enemy's ammunition blown up, a 9-pounder gun taken, and a less of a hundred killed inflicted. Three or four of our men were killed. The gallant conduct of Major Tombs was noticed on this occasion, and a letter fr= nary lays silt: In the wrong, whilst ors wen sitting st mon In the open air, Omni Bernard Ms sad soW d Nair Tombs wan resist Or tbst bo vas sok Orsoral, witbort ibur !labors, mil bo boif ems to the 4= run mynas bis Grilse of Ito* goilliontry la Or ask .kirk woo lad Iserronst Yo osid, oordawasig lbo arm ofte oar Ws rd 4 tinn, lowilonsrarstoor ell* woo adult* dr war =way In wire our baps woo bwairil. limi bogy, i dr wilds aogosirrog, ks had wow In dr cowrie of br wilatay ripsolows ma nom norstalis bswrmy car ossior, brirrysfvossit iNgityli by esir sem In dr WI dna by Mogsefoonbo et dr ArWary.

Such a battery being distant only . 1,200 yards, might have done us enormous injury, inasmuch as the house of }Endo° Rao is already within such good range of the 'Delhi guns, that a round shot entered the house on the 17th, and killed one officer, two Carabineers, and four Ohoorkis, and wounded four more. The danger of our attack was increased by the vicinity of the town wall guns. But the attention of the rebels in the city was judiciously diverted, the assaulting party moved in two division., and the affair was speedily carried out. The morning of the 19th revealed a new, though not altogether unexpected, enemy. The Nusseerabad mutineers, with a battery of six guns, made their appearance in our rear, and attacked General Bar nard's force in the evening. They were engaged by the force of the Rajah of Jheend, attacked by Major Tombs' battery of field artillery, and char g ed by the 9th Lancers. Evening appears to have put an end to the engagement, which was renewed on the morn ing of the 20th. This time the mutineers were beaten with great slaughter. On our part we had the misfortune to lose Colonel Yule, of the 9th Lan cers • Lieut. Whestlev , of the 54th ; Lieut. Hum pltrin, of the 20th N.l. ; and Lieut. Alexander, of the 3rd NJ. ; Col. Beecher, Capt. Brown, lit Fusi liers ; Captain Daly, of the Guides ; and four other officers, were wounded. _ Although the enemy was thus repulsed, he still occupied positions in our rear. At least I infer this from the fact that on the 2:frd, after two days' re spite, a general attack was made on our lines from the rear by a force of considerable numberii. Their chief position was a walled place of some extent on our right rear due west of Delhi, called Subset Mundee ; they were strongly postzd in a neighbour ing village, and took advantage of the walls of gar dens in the vicinity. The tight was desperately maintained by the rebels the whole day, and the loss they inflicted upon us was great. Their own is described as considerable. The 24th, 25th, and 28th seem to have passed off quietly. It is a fortunate circumstance that, notwithstand- ing the presence of the enemy in the rear of our position at Delhi, comusaniestions have been kept open with Menet, Agra, and the North-Welt, and that throughout the l'unjaub everything has been quiet. At l'eshawur, up to the 19th of June, the presence of her Majesty a 27th, 70th, and ts7th, had sufficed to awe and keep in order the disarmed sepoys of four regiments; the 21st Native Infantry were still faithful, whilst several regular and irre gular Sikh regime-Os assisted in the preservation of order. Seven hundred European artillerymen formed an additional element of security, and the authori ties hail been able to punish with severity all disaffected and mutinous people. The natives are not allowed out after gunfire. The safety of Pesha war and its escape from the fate of Nlcerut and Urlhi, is due to the activity of the authorities. A general rising had been determined on, and would have taken place two hours later, on the very day of the disarmament. This fact was elicited on the trial of the jemadar, who was executed fur mutiny. The death of forty of the 55th, mutineers Liken at Mur dun, is described as a fearful sight. The culprits were fastened by the arms and legs to the gun wheels, with their back to the murales. The dis charge cut the body in two. As there were only ten guns, the mutilated remains had to be removed four tunes. The men who thus suffered were supposed to be honoured by this kind of death, which was re served for high caste men only. This 55th thrived badly in their mutiny. They took refuge after the defeat of Nlurdar, with the Swat tribe of hill people, who, after subjecting them to the forcible adoption of the Mahometan religion, -old them hack to us at twenty rupees a head. Two hundred and fifty pri soners of this regiment and the slst were in gaol waiting for trial, and twelve of the 51st had been hung. The 27th Native Infantry was disarmed a second time, as it was discovered ►hat not content with their muskets and bayonets, each of the sepoys was in possession of swords and maces. Of these it is said that no less than 700 were discovered. A similar process of searching seems to have been car ried out successfully (June 2'2) at Bnbathoo, Dagshai, and Russowlie, nearer Lahore, 160 swords having been found at the latter place, 70 at Dagshai, and a similar number at Subathoo. At I.abore everything proceeded quietly up to the 28th ult. The mutineers of Jullundint and l'hillour, after they were dispersed at Loodhiana, divided, some 300 in number making their way to the south west, towards the Jumna to Itajghaut, where they were attacked and beaten on the 18th of June by a force from Saharunpore and Deyra,which killed and wounded many, and took several prisoners. The rest retreated towards the Bikaneer territory, and were pursued by Generalvan Cortland Lin command of the Irregulars of Jowaheer Sing, Rajah of Bhutiana, to the vicinity of Sirsah. Here the general was joined by 2,700 Irregular Horse, fur nished by the Rajah of Bikaneer, and thus rein forced he advanced to Khyrakee, on the Sinuth road. On the 19th of Juno ho found the insurgents, con sisting of rebel sepoys and others, strongly posted in two villages, separated from each other by the road. Both villages were at tacked at once, the road being commanded by artilleny,and all resistance swept away in two hours. The villages were stormed, 200 rebels killed, and 18 taken prisoners. The loss on our side was alight. Jowaheer Sing's force behaved admirably. The enemy having been thus destroyed, a detachment under Captain Robertson scoured the country, and order wu gradually restored. Another detachment, consisting of a considerable body of horse and foot, under Lieutenant Pease, was pushed on to Hussar, the scene of a late frightful massacre, and Brigadier- General van Cortlandt was to follow in the same direction. Thus the country to the north and north west of Valhi has been entirely cleared of rebels, and we may expect to hear that Coctlandt's column, after reducing Hansi and Maur, has joined General Barnard, and afforded him a useful reinforcement. Disaffection in the meanwhile has spread alarm ingly in the territories of °wilier and Indore. The mutiny tint commenced at Seepeee, about 70 miles from °wallet, and soon spread to the capital, where the troops rose on the 14th of June. They chose Sunday, at 10 o'clock in the evening, for their move ment; attacked their °Seen in a place called the Luau:, and killed three or kw ot then. The root succeeded in escaping to the Residency, where the Maharajah advised them not to stay. He assured them that, in the present spirit of his men. he could not undertake to defend them. Accordingly the officers and civil servants, and even the resident, were forced to leave Gwalior, and proceed to Agra, where they arrived in safety. The movement then spread to the Ist ()wailer Grenadiers at Etawah, who, on hearing of the rising at the capital, re quested their officers to depart. This they did, taking refuge unhurt in Agra. It is stated that the Maha rajah has collected and organised some of his personal adherents, to recover his treasure, and punish the rebels who have stolen it. We may well doubt, however, whether the ruler of Owalior will remain faithful to us when all Europeans have left his territories. The Rajah of Medwa's contingent mutinied with the same unanimity as that of °wilier. At first the Mehidpore contingent failed to induce the Malwa infantry at Indore to rue, but the disaffected feeling soon grew strong, and the troops both at Indore and Mhow rose against their officer,. They proceeded at the former place to massacre the Europeans, whose names have not as yet been made public. The resident (CoL Durand) and the post master (Mr. Beauvais) made their escape to Seepore. The mutineer, proceeded to Mhow, where, in addi tion to the Maharajah Molkais contingent, a cam pasty of faa*awalauty, 446 slams batboy lambed, part of the Ist Bengal Light Cavalry and the 23rd Native Infuntry,were gameoned. The native troops all rase on the 4th or 6th inst. Fortunately the battery was one of European artillery under Captain Itungerford, and the fort served as a refuge for the Europeans of both services and for the ladies. At first the insurgents surrounded the fort, and fears were entertained Zest they might continue to do so, as there was only provision inside for ten days, but the mutineers did not keep up the siege. They pro- ceeded towards Oojein with the intention of ad venting towards Delhi. They quarrelled amongst I themselves about the treasure plundered at Indere, and some of them returned to the capital. In the meantime the Maharajah offered rewards for the apprehension of the instigators of rebellion. Some troops, considered staunch, were sent in pursuit, and the remaining treasure was deposited for safety in the fort of Mhow. As the monsoon has set in there is no chance of these muti neer, reaching Delhi. They may return, perhaps, to Gwalior, and there join the insurgents of that state. Between them and Delhi are the forces lately usembled by the people of Kotah and leypore. The former are supposed to keep order from Nusseer abad to Muttrs, the latter in the districts of Goer gaon. There are levies of horse and foot also from Keraalee. But no confidence can be placed in the services of any of these corps, which only abstain from rebellion that they may better plunder. 11cr Majesty's 83rd, which has arrived at Nussecrabad from Ikesa, and the let Bombay Cavalry, may help to keep matter,' in order in the districts of Sodey poor and Jeypere, but there seems to be no present means of reducing the rebels of Gwalior and Indore north of the Nerbudda. That stream Bets as an effectual barrier to military movements during the monsoon, rising to an extraordinary height, and overflowing its banks for mile.. The Bombay government have, however, enough to do south of the Nerbudda for the present, and the preparations and movements they have made indicate that bodies of rebels ere at Asscerghur, and that in °wailer, I Khandrieh, and part of the Nizam's dominions about Aurungabad, bands of Itohilla and other Muasulman plunderers are in motion. In consequence of this a light field brigade has been ordered to form at Molligaum, under Colonel C. 11. Somerset, to consist of a wing of H.M. Stith Foot, from Bombay, a de tachment of the Poona Irregular Horse, from Server, the 3rd Cavalry Hyderabad contingent, the 6th Bombay Native Infantry, and a detachment of Sap pers sad Miners from Poses. This wing of H.M.'s S6lh was to proceed via Wassund and Nassiek to Nlalligaum. the 3rd Hyderabad contingent, under Captain Orr, is already on the scene of action, having reached Akharpore on the Nerbudda. The Consmauder.in-Chief had intended to send the head quarter wing of the 3rd Bombay Europeans to Au rungabad through Ahmcdnuggur, and a squadron of the 14th lancers, with a half battery of Les lie's artillery, three guns and seventy-five men to Malligitum, but affairs at Aurungabad seem not to have improved, and the cavalry and artillery are ordered thither from Poona, and whilst the 3rd Europeans are to stand fast, the headquarter wing of the 24th Native Infantry at Ahmednuggur, was marched on the Nth to join General Woodburn's force. The regiments under that general's charge were to have started for Nlalligaum, but will now be kept where they are, under the orders of Colonel C. S. Stuart, of the 6th Bombay Native Infantry, who succeeds General Woodburn in his command, that (Meer having been so seduced by sickness since his departure from Ahniednuggur, that his medical advisers would not answer for his life unless he retired. ----- At Aurungahad more mutineer', of the let Hydra bad Cavalry, had heir' taken, of whom two were shot, and one blown from a gun, on the 7th inst. A horse battery of European artillery has been despatched, in all haste, to Sattara, to relieve a bullock battery with Golundauz (native gunners) attached, which has been ordered to Poona, and will eventually be sent to Bombay. Our difficulties are trifling in the territories of the tributary rajahs compared with those which beset our forces in the cities bordering on the Ganges be tween Benares and Delhi. The communications be tween licnares and Cawnporo were, as you know from the news of the last mail, interrupted. We bad but an imperfect knowledge of the state of affairs in Oude and Rohilcund. We are now certain that the British forces in Cawnpore and Lucknow arc besieged and hemmed in, and painfully aware that no successful efforts have been made to release them. It was necessary, in the first place, to clear Allahabad, an important city, at the junction of the Ganges and lumna, midway between Benares and Cawnpore. Fortunately the Europeans had been able to maintain themselves in the first when the out break commenced, and were materially assisted in keeping off the ruffians of the 6th Native Infantry by the Sikhs under Lieutenant Brasyer, who sue ceeded in saving thelives of alltheladies,and disarm ing that portion of the sepoys who did duty inside the works. For this signal piece of service, Lient.Brasyer was immediately promoted by Lord Canning. Out side the works, even alter the arrival of reinforce ment speedily sent up from Benares, there was no safety for Europeans or Christiana ; and night after night the darkness was dispelled by the lurid fires of burning bungalows and houses destroyed by the sepoys and Mahommedans, whose atrocities ex ceeded in barbarity even those committed at Meerut and Delhi. --- ----- On the 11th Colonel Neile, of the Madras Fusi liers, reached Allahabad, and fresh troops came up from Bemires in the steamers Cod, Sir Charles Allan, and Jumna. The ladies and children were removed as soon am passible, and sent down by the Sir Charles Allan to Calcutta. Colonel Neils then called together the whole staff of officer!), and made arrangements for taking the city from the rebels. The guns of the fort opened fire with round shot on Daragungc, a suburb on the right bank of the river, chiefly inhabited by Brahmins. After 18 or 20 rounds bad been fired, a detachment of 80 Madras Fusiliers, 40 of the 3rd Irregular Cavalry (all that remained loyal out of 130), and three companies of Sikhs, advanced out of the place, and swept the mutineers before them, bayoneting all that came within their reach, whilat the Irregulars sabred those who fled. Daragunge was thus cleared in a very skeet time, and the Sikhs encamped on the ground nsar the fart. The 13th and 14th were emit in organising a second attack on other quarters, the rebels mustering very strong and numerous; so great, Mcleod, was their confidence that on the 13th they attacked the Sikhs with great vigor: 1 they were quickly repulsed, and at gun-firs (Stamped H. Additional.) [TWOPENCE. ______ (eleven o'clock), a howitzer having been placed on board of the steamer Jumna, with a detachment of Madras Fusiliers, the stronghold of the Brahmins, l'rangureltolah, and Duriabad, the suburb, inhabited by the Pathan Mahometans, were set on fire and gutted, many people being killed in the course of the operation. In another direction the Sikh regi ment of Ferozepore and fifty Madras Fusiliers, ad vanced and set fire to a part of the town in which the rebels had thrown up an entrenched work, under the direction of a fanatical Moulvie(priest). The Sikhs advanced with the greatest bravery against the posi tion of the insurgents, covering in excellent style the handful of Englishmen, when they retired from the contest. The position was entered, and a fierce battle fought, in which we lost two Europeans killed and two officers and five men wounded. Several of the chief men under the Moulvie, or priest of the weaver caste, and 300 of his followers were killed. Our force retired without taking the position, but the Moulvic bad had enough of it. He fled with the remnant of his followers in the night, leaving a large quantity of provisions behind in the entrenched posi tion. Two guns taken away by the 6th Native In fantry were recovered. On tho 16th the whole of Allahabad was in Colonel Neile 's possession. On the 21st and 22nd, the headquarters, six officers and 180 rank and file of her Majesty's 84th, from Benares, and the remainder of the Madras Fusiliers, from Calcutta and Mirsaporn came up. On the 23rd, 400 Europeans, two 9-pounders, with European gun ners, 300 Sikhs, with all available cavalry, were being equipped to move on Cawnpore, with as little delay as possible. They were to carry 20 days' pro visions. Detachments were to follow, with more provisions, as soon as they could be obtained. Corn and other supplies were being collected. The railway would be used as a horse tramway as far as it would go, the engines and works at Allahabad having been destroyed. On the 24th (electric telegraph despatch) all was well, and communications had been opened with Cawnpore. Two companies of her Ma jesty's 37th left Calcutta for the upper provinces on the 29th. The relief of Cawnpore is one of the most desir able objects to be obtained, as the concentration of force there may enable Sir Hugh Wheeler to co-ope rate in the reduction of Delhi. At the latest dates that general was regularly besieged by the sepoys of the Ist and 56th Native Infantry, the 2nd Light Cavalry, and the 12th Native Infantry, from 'hand. The first three-named regiments row on the sth June, between eight and nine o'clock in the evening. Two squadrons of the 2nd, folly armed and accoutred, rushed down into the civil lines, plundered the trea sure and set fire to the bungalows. It was a sultry night, a gale of wind blew, and the flames spread rapidly. An eye-witness says that " the intolerable heat of the atmosphere, the clouds of dust raised by the storm, the houses in conflagration, and the men of the 2nd Cavalry galloping about on their horses committing devastations, alto gether formed a scene baffling all description." Some of the officers and several merchants were murdered duo ing the plunder at the station, but the majority of the Europeans succeeded in assembling within the defences prepared beforehand by the care of Sir Hugh Wheeler ; whilst two officers, Lafont and Christina, made good their escape to Allahabad. Jotee I'ersaud had sent in supplies for the use of the Europeans, but they were scanty, and fears were evidently entertained at Allahabad that hunger might be added to the list of sufferings inflicted on the British at Cawnpore. Once confined within the entrenchments no chance of supply can have been available until relief came from Allahabad, OA the mutineers, joined by the ltajah of Bithore, had ea camped to the west of the walls, and closed the com munications. The Rajah of Bithore has been irre trievably thrown into rebellion by one of the most dastardly deeds that have been recorded since the disasters of Delhi. After the mutiny of the 10th Native Infantry at Futteyghur, 132 European civilians, men, women, and children, embarked in .50 little boats on the Ganges for Cawnpore. They reached Bithore, where, by the order of Nana Sahib, the Rajah, they were fired at in these boats with cannon—the first pilot striking a lady, and killing her on the spot. The boats were then boarded; the people remaining in them landed and brought to Cawnpore, where they were hacked to pieces in cold blood. Not a soul, it is said, escaped. The 12th Native Infantry, which came toCawnporc, committed cruelties almost equally great. They rose on the 6th of June, and seized a fortification called the Star Fort, whilst the officers took refuge in the city fort, a strong position which the chief in command, Captain Skenc, spoke confidently of holding until relief arrived. Unfor tunately the widow of the late Rajah thought she had cause to be discontented with the treatment she had received from the East India Company, and considered it a grievance that she had been deprived of the reversion of her husband's dignity. She joined her cause with that of the mutineers, gave them some artillery, with which they breached the gate of the fort; after which they as saulted and carried it, and massacred all that were inside. A relation of the Ranee was placed in power by the sepoys, who then proceeded to Cawnpore, where they were joined by the 10th Native Infantry from Furrukabad, a regiment guilty of no innocent blood, having been content with sacking the trea sure, and dismissing their officers smithies's. A few soldiers, indeed, stood by the officers, and enabled them to retire safely into the fort of Fumtkabad. To these mutineers we may have to add the 3rd Irregular Cavalry, 31st Bengal Na tive Infantry, and 41st Light Infantry from San - ger, regiments which raised the standard of rebel lion after pretending, like the 6th at Allahabad, that they were staunch, and desirous of showing their prowess against the mutineers. It had been thought safe to send out a company of the 31st, a company of the 42nd, two troops of Irregulars, and two guns, under Major Gaussen,ot the 43rd Native Infantry, to Lullatpere, to put down some preda tory bands of Bendel& Thakoors, and petty chief tains of the Bundelcund states, who had risen sad were likely to take forcible possession of that pet of Central India. What may have been the fate of the officers, with these detachments, I cannot say, but the Saugor troops rose in their absence, and although they did no harm to their officers, the same chance may not betel those who were absent on field duty. It was fortunate for the Europeans at this place that they bad with them a battalion of Euro pean artillery, which would enable them to hold out in the fort, if provisions did not run short. It thus appears that the force surrounding Sir 11. Wheeler at Cawnpore is a large and imposing one, and I doubt whether the few Europeans whom Colonel Neile has been able to send on from Anal's bad will be able to effect much good. The sepovs were so confident in their strength that they actually assailed Sir 11. Wheeler's force in its entrenchments on thu 17th of June; but they were repulsed with tremendous loss, after two assaults, and will probably not try a third. Sir Henry Lawrence, at Lucknow, is surrounded by large bodies of insurgents also. Up to the 19th of June he had remained free from attack. He had completed his arras eats for defence with great energy, and provided not only for the residence and the old fortification of the Muchee Bhawun, but also for the cantonments and city, as well as a small circuit around. Three of the roads leading to the residence had been closed by stout barricades. Num bers of guns had been mounted on every available point, and good protection had been made for all approaches. In order to cut off the communication with Fyzabad, one half of the old stone bridge near the Muchee Sheeran had been destroyed, and tits road from thence to the fort had been blocked up. A strong body of Europeans held the only approach to the bridge. All the treasure had been removed into the fort. An abundant supply of provisions had been laid in ; thousands of munch' of grain having been procured, u well as large quantities of aoojee and auger, purchased at Cawnpore before the com munications were closed. On the 6th of June a mement,nalled " Of Syed Hussein," was disarmed, and the city had remained quiet since the flay of the mutiny. It was not without mason that Sir H. Lawrence took precautions against the approach of rebels from Fyzabad. The mutiny there was conducted with a dignity and forbearance very different from the cruel and frantic ebullitions of other sepoys. The 22nd Native Infantry called their officer, from their bungalows to a meeting, taking precautions to pre vent people from plunder. Fisher s Irregular Horse, at a council of war, had voted for a general massacre. This course—which, I may remark, has been advocated on every occasion where cavalry regiments had a voice, in consequence, no doubt, of the troopers being a majority . of Nluesulmans—was negatived by the 22nd, who informed their officers that they were at liberty to go. They were now, they said, under the orders of their native officers, and the subandar-major of the regiment had been appointed to the command. The same terms were offered by the Gth Oudc Irregulars and the men of a battery of Artillery. The eubandar of one of these regiments is related by an officer who escaped to have used the following remarkable language:— " " A. you are going away for ever, I will tell you all about our plans. We halt at Fysabad five days, and march via Darriabsd upon Lucknow, where we expect to be joined by the people of the city fie added, proclamations have been received from the King of Delhi, informing ell that ha is once ewe on the throne of his Where, and calm ups. the whole army to join his standard. Akio that Raja Mina Sing, under whoee guardianship the ladies at Fysabad placed I helots:lves, bud been appointed commander-in-chief in Oude. The Subandar fnrther added, You English have been • long time in India, but you know little of us. We have nothing to do with W4sed AIL or any of his relations ; the kings of Lucknow were made by you ; the only ruler in India empowered to give Sunnuds is the King of Delhi ; ho never made a King of Oude, and it is from him only that we shall receive our orders." As the officers left Fyzabad to go down the Gogra, the 17th Native Infantry, which had mutinied at Azimghur came in. It appears that the officers and ladies were sent to Ghazeepore. Maun Sing, appointed to the supreme command in Oude, by the King of Delhi, took most of the ladies under his pro tection. The Fyzabad and Azimghur rebels thus joined together proceeded to Lucknow, where they were reinforced by the 15th Irregular Home, the Bth Oude Irregular Infantry, and the police corps, from Sultanpore. These troops mutinied on the 7th of June, and killed four of their officers, Colonel Fisher and Captain Gibbings, of the 15th Ir regular Hone, and Meyers. Block and Strogan. The positions held by the rebels in the north-west of the kingdom of On& and in ltohileund, and their apparent determination not, or inability, to cross the Ganges, shows that it is their intention to endeavour to keep the country they now hold in the event of the fall of Delhi. The details of movements at Bareilly, Moorada bad, and other places in those parts are scanty. Symptoms of disaffection were noticed at Bareilly towards the close of May,and the officers of the 68th and 18th Bengal Native Infantry, and Bth Irre gular Horse, took the precaution of sending their wives and fanatics to the hills at Itynee On the 31st they showed great discontent on hear ing of the disarmament of troops in the service of the Rajah of Bellmore. They feared also that an European force might be approaching. Accordingly they lost no time in making arrangements for a rising on the following day . (Sunday). All the officers bad gone to morning service, and were coming out of church, when the usual gun at 11 o'clock was fired, shotted. Tbis was the precon certed signal, upon which the 18th and 68th rose, and formed iu their lines. Brigadier Sibbald and Colonel Troup had taken the precaution of appointing a rendezvous on the cavalry parade ground; and, when the soldiers began to fall out and fire the houses, the officers and civilians made their way as rapidly as possible to the rendezvoul. Half the Bth ler Cavalry turned out of the bidding of Colo- I r al re k e r ' oup. Brigadier Sibbald and Ensign Tucker were killed on tilde way to the perade ground, having to pass in font of the fire from the eepoy lines and the artillery, and all hut three officers of the 18th were massacred in other places. The rest joined Colonel Troup, and with the Bth Irregular Cavalry started toward Bamuree. The troopers remained some time with the officers, and then requested to he allowed to return and charge the mutineers. This was a mere pretext far joining their brethren, and permission to do this was not granted by Colonel Troup. The cavalry now took leave without orders, left the officers and civilians, and returned to Bareilly, whilst the fugi tives, under a burning son, made their way towards Nyncc Tal. Once there, they were safe, as the position was a hill tolerably fortified, and held by a company of Ghoorkas from Almorah. The suhandar at Banally assumed command of the rebel forces, tiding about in the carriages of the unfortunate Brigadier Sibbald, followed by a numerous staff in the buggies of the officers. The supreme command of Rohilcund has been taken by Khan Bahadoor Khan, who assumed the title of king, and inaugu rated his reign by the massacre of all the inhabi tants of a native Christian village, a few miles from Bareilly. Since the mutiny, a body of insurgents has marched towards the Ganges, to a place in the Ghauts, called Gurrnuktesur, and a large body of Oude mutineers have crossed the Ganges and Junina and encamped at Khoorja, at the point where the Agra road separates into two branches, one leading to Delhi, the other to Meerut, through Boolund shuhur. At the latter place also a body of Oude insurgents has taken up its quarters, and the Europeans have fled into Meerut. The Mooradabad mutiny took place on the 3rd of June, after iutelligeece had been received of the Bareilly movement. The rebels plundered the Treasury of two lakhs and a half of rupees, and car ried off several chests of plate left there for safety. They would have tied the treasurer to a gun, and killed lam under the pretence that he had concealed sonic of the money, but they let hint off, and he, as well as the officers and civilians, fled to Itynco Tel and Meerut. The regiment here wee the 29th Native Infantry, which up to the latent dates re mained in its old quarters. The mutiny of the 41st Native Infantry at Secta pore is still obscurely known. The sepovs arc said to have made a complete butchery of the'Europeane, and to have proceeded afterwards to Muhmudie. As ill-luck would have it, the civil officers from that place and Saharunpore were met by them on the road and massacred, with the exception of one Cap tain Orr, who escaped after witnessing the horrible fate of his companions. Every thing has been quiet at Bombay. Sir Henry Somerset has been here from Poona, to organize with Lord Elphinstone the necessary movements of troaps. The head-quarters of the Poona Irregular Horse, under Colonel Tapp, arrived on the 4th from the Persian Gulf. A wing of the 86th came in on the 6th from Aden. Captain Wellesley assumed command under a salute of seventeen guns, an commodore, on the Bth. On the 9th, Sir J. Outrem left in the Madras to talc his place in the Supreme Council at Calcutta. The Bombay government have put in force the New Gagging Act, under the same regulations as have already obtained nt Calcutta. From Nladras we learn that the Rohillas have formed themselves into bands in the neighbourhood of Cuddapab, and arc ravaging the country. r• LT 14. Our latest intelligence from Lahore, dated tle 30th of lune,brinraecounts of a general nature as to a renewal of skirmishing in the gardens about our positions at Delhi or, the 27th. After the affair of the 23rd, in which the enemy availed himself of the en closures and buildings in our rear, it seems to have been found necessary to prevent a recurrence of this evil. Those positions were accordingly occupied by our forces. In what direction the skirmishes of the 27th took place has not yet been made known. The enemy fought without energy, and is said to have suffered severely from our artillery. Our loss was 12 men killed; Lieut. Harris, of the 2nd Faille" I
