Milanme. lain Tom ow.— bimodal. an Oa —.Mammon. Um. LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 11. BIPPPLEMENTAZY Telegrams of Indian news which we publish to-day throw little additional light on the operations of General Witennzis and Sir ,Coup CAMPBELL in the neighbourhood of OMB pore. In one respect, indeed, they contrive to make confusion worse confounded. Ono tells in that on the 6th of December Sir Coux defeated the °leafier mutineers, " when tAe whole of the enemy's artillery, " ammunition, and baggage fell into our hands ;" the other, that a few days l►ter General HOPE OILANT took from the same enemy " fifteen guns, with all " their stores, carts, waggons, large quantities of " ammunition, bullocks, heavies, 3c." It may be alleged that an error of this kind can mislead no one. Trite ; but it shows the scandalous carelessness with which these Despatches are got up. The actual situation in Oude and the Doab, as far as it can be puzzled out from these Telegram!, appears to be somewhat ea follows: Sir COLts CAMPB6LL, finding it impossible, with the force under his command, to reduce Lacknow, and possibly feeling that to maintain the Residency under these circumstances would cost more lives than the object was worth, evacuated the city. Whether' it wee his original intention to fall back upon Cawn pore, or whether the defeat of General WINDItill rendered that movement necessary, does not appear. It seems certain, however, that Sir CoLts, leaving General OUTINY with a Division at Alumbagh, has marched the rest of him force back to Cawnpore. From OUTRAIetI being left at Alumbagh, we are warranted to infer that the English are sufficiently strong in the part of Oude which lies between that place and Cawnpore to prevent the enemy from intercepting their com munications. Alumbagh, therefore, may be taken to mark the extreme western limit of the country in which the insurgents are at present too strong for us. We arc further informed that the insurgents have advanced southwards from Lacknow in suffi cient fora to drive the Goorkhite out of Asimghtir and Jannpore. This movement must have been made by no mere body of skirmishers, for it has led to the issuing of an order that all Europeans on the march upwards should stop at Re name to wait the arrival of Colonel Flottio to command. The demonstration of the Gude insur gents, in the direction of Azirnghnr and Jsunpore, had, therefore, been sufficiently alarming to inspire apprehensions for the security of the English stations on the north bank of the Ganges, and to occasion a pause in the advance of reinforcements in the direc tion of Allahabad and Cawnpore. Nothing further can be gleaned from the Telegram respecting the state of Oude ; but from accounts previously received we know that the insurgents were in force at Fyzabed— and no news has reached this country of Gorruck pore having been re-taken from them. Everything, in short, tends to confirm the opinion expressed in letters received by the last mail from military men in India, that to pat down the insurrection in Oodo and the adjacent provinces will be the work of more than one campaign. We now tarn to the Gwalior Contingent. Last mail intimated that General WINDIUM had gone out to meet them, and that they had retreated at his approach. They do not appear to hare retreated far ; for we now learn that he had an affair with them on the 28th of November, in which they had the worse. Oa the 27th, however, they returned to the charge, penetrated into and burned his camp, and killed a considerable number of our men. The next we hear of the contending parties is on the 6th of December, when Sir Cotte C.swen!Lt., with the whole of the troops ander his command—except the division left with Outram at Alambagh—end the remnants of WIND- T{ tx's detachment, routed the Gwalior men with little loss to himself. General Hoer GRINT was despatched in parsait. He overtook them as they were crossing the Ganger, killed about 100 of them, and took some artillery and baggage. From the abstract of Sir COLIN CAMPBILL'II despatch, transmitted by Telegraph by Lord LYONS, the Commander•in. Chief appears to think that he had cleared the Doab of this body of Mutineers ; but we are left in the dark as to how many of them got off. Few Of many, however, it is sufficiently clear that they have gene to swell the numbers of the insurgents in Gude.

There was so n to the rtrysti dinner party yesterday. `l'S'Prlacts Olito - rt, attended by the Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean et Windsor and Lietttenant-Colonel Poneesby, vi- sited Trams' (es the Naval Knights') College this forenoon, The Ra►. br. Philgen, of Catherine Mall, Cambridge, arrived We afternoon on a visit. The Duthess of Kent dined with her Majesty. date. 10. Divine service was performed this morning in the private chapel. There were present the Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, the Prinoeu Royal, Princes Alice, sal Princess Helms, tbe Lilies and gentlemen of the Court, sail the do mande household. The Rev. Dr. PbMpott (of Catherine Hall, Cambridge) preached the sermon. Despatches for the Governors of the Mauritius, Ceylon, and Hong Kong were seat from the Colonial-office on Satur day evening. They ea 1 riga prineipalnlave port in the Bight of l' coin. ;t that place because the corartret whi i l / 4 Government had formed wilt, M. Reims, M arseilles, didnot allow him pectniiery margin 100 to teapots Reims, with the rivalry of the Spanish dealers in human flesh. In forming that contract the French Government had overlooked two considerations. One was that, encouraged sad stimulated by the ill example of France, Cuba was quite certain to compete with them in the purchase of Atrieans; the other, that slavery and compulsory labour existing iu Cuba, the planters of that island could afford to give a price for the negroes landed there which the cultivators of Gua deloupe and Martinique, where slavery had been abolished, could not pay for labour over which they would not have the same complete command. The consequence of this omission was that at Whydah the Spanish slave-dealers, who had an unrestricted market to supply in Cuba, bought up all the Africans brought down thither by the unexpected news of a French demand, at prices to which the French could not follow them, and that while three or fear" Spanish slave ships escaped with full cargoes, the flue French screw steamer the Stella was at last obliged to leave Whydah with only a single slave on board, her proposed cargo having been 1,200. After this failure of the Stella to purchase African. at Whydah, on the terms admissible by the Rants Contract, she left that port and proceeded farther south. At first it was supposed she had gone to the River Gaboon, now a French possession. But as the country of the Gaboon is very thinly inhabited, and the number of Africans to be purchased there at any time small, the Stella, it now turns out, peened that river, and made the best of her way to the Congo. The Congo, a much more considerable stream, is the highway of a very populous district, and was a Sew years ago the seat of a very extensive slave trade. It was, therefore, to all appearance, just the place for the tailia to succeed in. But a curse pur sued the iniquitous adventure. There also the French Government, and the French contractors and the French agents, made a miscalculation. There, too, they overlooked two material points. First, that the Congo is a Portuguese possession. Secondly, that Portugal haa, under the influence of England, adopted a new and a better policy in Africa than trafficking, and encouraging • traffic, in African flesh. So, when the Stella entered the Congo to purchase Africans for exportation to Martinique and Guadeloupe, she at once met with the opposi tion of the Portuguese government of St. Paul de Loanda. That government immediately despatched a ship of war to warn the Stella against carrying on ' her abominable trade in the African possessions of His 1 1 Faithful Majesty i and, although the French Com modore arrived in a frigate to support the Stella, so resolved were the Portuguese authorities that they sent their whole naval force into the Congo to en.. force this prohibition. The Stella has consequently been compelled to remove out of the Portuguese limits in order to buy emigrants. Humiliating as this act of Portuguese vigour was in itself to the French, there was one thing that rendered it still mare humiliating. It was the pre sence of the British Admiral and two British ships of war in the Congo to witness Portuguese firmness and French disgrace. This British force had put into the river to hold courts-martial on some petty offenders, and were eye-witnesses to the scene we have de scribed, and than which we can imagine nothing more discreditable to the Imperial Government of France. The Slave Trading Expedition of the Imperial Government of France driven out of Portu guese waters by a Portuguese squadron in the pre sence of British men-of-war! Whither the Stella will now go for her human cargo no one can tell. It is, no doubt, possible that the Imperial Government— . _ in spite of all this evidence of the inherent unsound ness, from want of foresight and proper calculation, of the Rl.OlB Contract looked on as a merely commercial speculation —may still persevere. But if failure the most signal, and odium the most general, can in duce them to abandon an enterprise which the honour •nd glory of France and the moral obliga tion, of treaty engagements ought to have effectu ally prevented the French from ever entering on, —they now have motive enough to abandon the project.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (now ova owx PARIS, EIVXDAY Evan No. The first ball of the season at the Tuileries, last night, was marred by the influenza, which prevented very many invited guests from attending it. The Emperor and Empress walked through the rooms, but were only visible for a very short time. Her Majesty is still suffering from the prevalent malady, and it is denied on authority that she went to see skating at the Bois de Boulogne the other day. A diplomatic quadrille, at the court ball, was, I am told, arranged in such a manner as to prove, so far as Terpsichorean evidence is receivable, that the Powers represented by the Spectateur to be divided are in fact closely united. It is said here that the reason why Baron Brunnow will not arrive in England until February is that he would not like to yield the pas to the Prussian minister, which he would be obliged to do at the marriage of the Princess Royal. Commerce appears to be now resuming its ordi nary course. Purchasers are in the markets, and everything tends to announce the termination of the crisis. The demand for cotton at Havre last week was good, and the sales amounted to upwards of 8,000 bales. The stock is now 78,000 against 39,000 at this time last year. Prices are very firm, and on some qualities an advance has been obtained. At Rouen more business has been done than was ex pected at this season of the year. At Mulhausen there has been also a good demand for the manufac tures of that town, at improving prices. The ac counts from Roubaix are equally satisfactory. PARIS, SATVRDAT EVINIXO. The determined efforts of the government to reduce the professors of the university to that condition of absolute subserviency which, according to the doc trines of the Berea, is above all things conducive to the advancement of learning, was yesterday resented at the Sorbonne in a very spirited manner by M. Saint-Marc Girardin. That eminent man, in one of his recent lectures, made some remarks in praise of the bourgeoisie of 'B9, which gave offence to the government. Accordingly, the Revue Couternporaine has been instructed to abuse him, and to hint that if he is not more guarded in his language, the govern. ment will exercise against him that power of dis missal which, in utter disregardof the most cherished traditions of the university, it assumed by the new law on public instruction. M. Saint-Marc Girardin, in referring to this subject, said that he had been • professor for 30 years ; that in hie present coarse of lectures he intended to pursue the same perfectly im partial but liberal course which he had ever done. His lectures would be altogether literary, bat he would not dwarf literature below its natural proportions. " I have," he continued, " loved to defend and glorify those good and great affections which are the strength and the joy of the human soul, and the spirit of which in our great poets I delight to dwell upon. If I were to shrink from this duty I should feel that I deserved blame, but I care very little indeed for criticisms on any other score. Not that they make me angry; for I always like to see free dom of discussion, even although it may not be altogether reciprocal. But I will not yield one jot of my independence, although such pains are taken to remind me that I am a professor, subject to be dismissed at any moment. Ido not forget it. For merly, when, in common with the entire French pro fessorate, I was irremoveable, I felt my independence assured by the stability of my position, and I was not on that account more factious. But now the very idea of my removeability, of which my adversaries love to warn me, and which, from a feeling of pride that you will easily under stand, I constantly bear in mind, makes me more than ever determined to be independent, and I endeavour to compensate for the fragile tenure of my office by the respectful firmness of my speech." These remarks were received with immense cheering by an auditory which completely filled the Sorbonne. The Patna says it is not doubted that if the Bing of Prussia does not recover within the space of three months (and there is no expectation that he will) the provisional government, to which public opinion in Prussia is very much opposed, will be put an end to by en abdication. The Bourse has recovered the ground lost yester day. The Rent* roes 20 o. for cash and 30 c. for account, closing at 70 and 70.40. Mobilier rose 36. The railways lett off from 2.60 to 6 higher. It was reported that MM. Emile Pereire and Adolphe D'Eichthal are about to borrow 12 millions, on the security of their own private property, from the Credit Foncier. The loan is to be made in obliga tions, which it is said the Bank of France has agreed to discount. A dreadful affair has just occurred at Mont de Marsan. A hairdresser of the town, on returning home, found in his house a well-known gentleman residing in the town, who occupies the post of coun cillor of prefecture. Thinking that he had gone there with improper views on his wife, he, in a paroxysm of jealousy, toluoged the blade of a sword cane into his breast and inflicted a wound of which the councillor died almost immediately.
