COBDIN wee told by a ssrdo■ie and. we Walt, shartaighted, friend in America: that be sad Ids associates in 1842 had committed a capital aver when they set about getting cheap bread for the people before they had won their franchisee kit dam ; now they are hungry no longer, he hinted, you will not be able to get up agitation enough to extort the °anemias of electoral rights. The history of American liberty is the best of answers to this shallow and sceptical notion. The men of 1774 were is excellent cue whoa they turned out against the might of the empire to aunt one single right. Physically, they were well off and competed. Pauperism and public debt were alike unknown ; the fresh soil yielded its increase far beyond the wants of the immunity ; every mans labour brought readily its fall worth ; and save an oecesional raid of the Red Indians on the border lands of colonisation, men bad nothing to make than afraid. On the other band political privileges were comparatively limited, were re strained in the majority of the Buten within narrow bounds. Some progress towards elec toral liberalism had indeed been mad* in Mss aschueetts and Rhode Island. Bat the thing we hear talked of No universal suffrage no more existed in America eighty years ego than it exists in Eng land at the present day.:Yet it wan a commu nity physically wanting for nothing but poli tically lacking much, that showed the greatest courage, unanimity, and perseverance is exacting from their min-enlers what they felt to be Mir right. And se It will be here. The analogy of the struggle against the Olen Laws, though fall of suggestion and encouragemest does not in all respects apply. It must be take• with a distinction. Free Trade we a philorophie theory, which it was hard to bring home to men's minds, except by the sharp logic of privation. When Lancashire's mills were working only, half time, their owners began to study political economy u they never had done before ; and when they found oat what stood in the way of large orders they invested their thousands in the political machinery of the League. And when the tradesmen in every city and town found business was growing worse and profits becoming smaller year after year, they put on their angry hats, swore they would stand it no longer, and polled at elections for friends of Messre.,Contitx and BRIGHT, whom they would have thought of as their representatives otherwise. Thus was Free Trade carried. With the Elective Franchise and the Ballot the case differs widely. Nobody who is honest, and who would do by his neighbour what he would have his neighbour do by him in such matters, requires to read books, cast up sums in statistics, weigh aver ages, or hear economic lectures, to be convinced that the present state of things regarding the handily@ and mode of voting is a fraudulent and corrupt monopoly, kept up against the sense and will of the nation ►y a particular class, who have thriven, are thriving. and will continua to thrive upon it as long se they are suf fered to do so. The question is not whether the out4wry of the industry and intelligence of the g bulk of the community is just and wise ; every me knows the contrr 7. The question is, when shall we take it in hand and get rid of It, and bow is it to be time ? We must say that, in oar opinion, foe this tough job it is much batter to have mil lions of sturdy remonstrants who are in no plight to be bullied by their employers when they happen to disagree with them about politics, and who are not liable to be chilled in their resolves over night by the begat:hie g looks of a pining wife or the fretful arise of • hungry child. It is a sad and an serfel thing to have to re-adjust the compass of the Bute altar the threaten 1g moan of sharratimals storm has begun to be beard. With the true spirit of • statesman, Mr. COBDIM warns oar oligarch, of all clans and cliques to set about getting this inevitable work does while the waters ue calm and the surrounding atmosphere tranquil. None can tell bow soon these propitious circumstances may pass away. On those who have ears to bear, his wive and warning words will not be lost. There is nothing of t h e fanatic or the empiric about him. Beyond comparison the most triumphant tribune of the people whom England ban had in MS day, he ham proved by thirteen years' abstinence tram all that savored of popular agitation how foreign to his nature are the:arta or ambition of a demagogue. And sow, when he re-appean at last epos the scene. it is not Ake a man chafing at repose, or sookieg excitement, bat rather aa one who of old anderstaeds the danger of too prolonged delay, anti the risk of the popular helm getting into lath hand•, if it be not once mon grasped by awn like hint. Let us hope the truth be has, aconediog to his wont, told with all plainness of 'lmmo% speech, wall not be lost on either the many Or the few. Adturing to the go o d old nun of Haseebold Suffrage as the least that the people ought to teak fee, he offers to accept the portion of the debt doe on Pistachios account, even though it may be moiseary to bare a separate bill and receipt teethe Ballot. Ret there is no symptom of factions 'steeds., Cr willingness to compromise either claim. Both are indispensable to any satisfactory settlement of the great question of Reform; sad Mr. COBDEN clearly intimates that hie confidence and rapport will be given to no Minister who sea himself against the deliberate and jest densands of the people.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. AUSTRIA. MINISTERIAL CHANGES. VIENNA, MONDAY MOWING. The official Wiener Zeitung, of Thursday, owl. tains the following : "IMPERIAL DECREE. " Count Rechbreg, who retains his post es Minis ter for Foreign Affairs, is appointed President of the Cabinet. . Baron Hubner is appointed Minister of Police. "Count Golnekowski, Minister of the Interior. " Councillor (Geheirmerstb) Kempen von Fichtsn steam, chief of the police, is dismissed with s pen sion. " Baron Bach, formerly minister of the interior, has been appointed ambassador to Rome. " The Ministry of Commerce has entirely di,- solved. Its dative are divided between the Minister of the Interior, of the Exterior, and of Pinellas." The non-official portion of the Wisner Zeitung contains an article, stating that there is a general feeling of anxiety in the public mind concerning the subjects which hays been till now under serious deliberation by the Imperial Council, end which are Regulation of the control of the finances. 2. Free exercise of the protestant religion. 3. The regulation of Jewish affair*. 4. The regula tion of the municipalities. The representation of the provinces will later come under deliberation. The article concludes thin:—" Too great caution in advancing is as much to be avoided as too great haste." TO TIP ZDITOS OP TOP TIPTLIPA. THE SMETHURST VERDICT'. Bra,—Your contemporary, tho nom, appears to my bumble judgment to have employed even more than its usual dexterity in completely reveraing the moral of the Richmond Poisoning cue. It assorts that the " case ;depended throughout upon ow particular description of evidence ;" that "the charge rested on the scientific testimony of profsmional deponents." After sketching the (Mend facts of the trial, it ripests emphatically, " From this outline it will be seen how completely ? and indeed ascsosartly, ths as y, on medical testimony' 8o solemnly is your contemporwl soma with this Unanimities that it conclsdes by sayiag, " We should not have discharged our duty to the public if we bad failed to call attsatioa to the peculiar character of the means by which eon viction was obtained." _ . . Now, ear, the distinctive feature of thistrial was the conflicting character of the medical evidence. So far from procuring the oonviction of the prisoner, It is not too much to may that it as nearly as possible procured his acquittal ; and the learned judge him self wee careful to call away the attention of the jury (needlessly distracted by the minute perplexi ties of imperfect science, and the coarser contra dictions of professional rivalry) to the mute but =boleti,' testimony of the circumstances surround lag the prisoner and his victim. The fact is, that in cases of this deseciption medical evidence will always be far more likely to acquit the guilty than to convict the innocent.—l as, dre., AN UNPROFESSIONAL MAN.

The Doke of Magenta (Manbal Maddskon) is appointed to the grand military command at Lille, and not Marshal Niel, who goes to Toulouse to take the command which Marshal Bosquet,who has not re covered from the effects of his Sebastopol wounds, finds himself compelled to give up. A reason suggested for the substitution of MacMahon for Niel is that the latter being on bad terms with Canrobert it was thought desirable to remove him to a district is far away from Nancy as possible. Notwithstanding the emphatic declaration of the Emperor in the Moniteur that the quarrel of the marshals was ne cerearily devoid of all interest, he having adjusted their differences by his memorandum, it is said that they both intend to print explanations of their conduct at Solferino—not for publication, bat for circulation among their respective friends. Of coarse there is small chance that these memoirs, which mast neormarily excite great interest in military circles, wi►l long be kept private. The new organisation of the grand military commands, now called by the new name of " military anon dimements," appears tc-day in the Monifeur de r.dreole. The five former commands are preserved under the new title. Marshals Magnan and Ca.. tellane remain at Paris and Lyons; Marshals Can robert and Sammy d'Hilliers return to Nancy and Tours; and, es I have already stated, Marshal Niel supersedes Marshal Borquet at Toulouse. The army of Africa becomes the 7th military arrondisse ment, under the command of General de Martini prey (a first-rate officer, late chief of the staff in Italy), and the new military at.undissement (sum bored as the 2nd), is th►t created at Lille, and to which the Duke of Magenta is appointed. The troops, which, on the dispersion of the camp of St.Maur,retorned to their barracks at Versailles,were yesterday entertained by the municipality of that city at one of the most splendid military banquets that was ever given on a large scale. Tables were arranged for 7,000 or 8,000 men io the Orangery—a locality so magnificent io itself, u to require no adventitious decorations. Tbe appearanoe of the men u they marched clown the celebrated staircase of one hundred steps to take their seats at the dinner was most imposing. They eat under the shade of the secular orange tress, which are one of the glories of Versailles. The fare was net 'merely substantial but delicate, and a bottle erred wise and half a bottle of champagne was sup lied to each man. The chair sou taken by M. de Saint *wasn't, the Prefect of Versailles, who was supported by the mayor and several civilians. During the dinner the Princess Mathilde, who came on expectedly, walked up and down the rows cf tables, and talked familiarly with mere/ of the soldiers. Music enlivened the festival, whiek °winded with a brilliant display of firewarks and some entertainments by the Zonaves, who cave the company a taste of those histrionic talents which they so often exhibit in camp. One of the soap sung by them was said to have been composed by the lamented General Cler just before he left Africa for the Crimea. The dirertiaseineots are continued this day, and crowds of Parisians and visitors to Paris have gone down to see them. The Pays mentions with delight the news that General Bourbaki hes arrived at Parma at the head of a French division, and it evidently chuckles at the idea that he is about to march upon Florence (as the INdspertdones says be is), and to prepare the way for the restoration of the dukes. The only possible question, says M. Granier de Caseagnac's journal, is not whether the dukes are to be restored, but when and how the restoration is to be effected. lam greatly in hopes, however, that the Pays now represents only a bygone determination of the Emperor. Events have moved so swiftly in Central Italy that I think he most see the necessity of taking them into account. A letter says that when some little time since M. de &int threatened I force ' the Marquis Capponi replied firmly, " In that case I should be sorry for my country, but I should be still more sorry for the Emperor." The Tuscan government, it is now said, does not fear a French intervention. PARIS, SATIMDAT EVININO. The Bonne opened with Considerable buoyancy, under the false impression, occasioned by a mistaken reading of a telegram, that the Belgium Chamber had thrown out the bill for fortifying Antwerp. The Rentes rose to 69.25, but when the truth became known that the vote of 58 to 43 was not against the bill, bat against the adjournment of the debate upon it, and that the passing of the bill may be considered certain, a reaction *et in, and the Rent, closed vny heavily at 68.85 for cash and 68.95 for account, with a fall of 20 in each case. Mobilier fell 7.60. Them was scarcely so mach as the variation of a franc in the closing quotations of railway shares ; so little business was done in them that it was difficult to make a price. 'roe Eeglish newspapers which I reported as seized yesterday on account of Louis Blanc's letter were released at a very late hour in the evening. It is well that good sense prevailed at last, but it would be better if the first impressions of the functionaries upon whom devolves the duty °fledging in the first instance whether a foreign journal ought or not to be confiscated were not so very often wrong. The annual meeting of tam French Academy is fixed for August 26th. Tickets are in great request. it being known that M. Villetaain and M. Guizot will make speeches. All the accounts of the " return of the legions" spoke of a handsome young officer with both hie arms tightly bound in white linen ligatures, whose appear ance excited universal sympathy, and attracted the particular notice of the Emperor. It appears that on reaching the Rae Castiglione, from the Place Vend6me, he fainted away. The NO of the Finance Minister, who from the window of an adjoining hotel saw the officer stagger and fall, instantly sent down an arm chair, for which the crowd matte way, and the wounde d man was carried up-stairs and well taken care of. He is a sub-lieutenant of the 91st, who but recently left the school of St. Cyr. It is stated in a report of the battle of Baldwin that having his left arm broken by a Biscaien, he was sitting down at the foot of a tree in the rear of his regiment, wailing to have his wound dressed, when a shower of bullets and grapeshot proceeding from a cross fire between the French and Austrians fell around him, broke his other arm, and struck hie legs in several places. His head and body escaped by a miracle. ITALY. SARDINIA. (TROY 001 SPICIAL COMITOWDZIITI MILAN, hoover 17. The popular festival of the Arsaa,end the general illumination of the Lake of Como which have been the two greatest spectacles organised in honour of the new Xing, have splendidly closed the series of Lom bard rejoicings. Victor Emmanuel will, therefore, leave Milan for Turin this afternoon, bringing with him vivid recollections of the splendid and hearty reoeption he has met in his newly acquired province'. The great festival of the Arena came off on Monday, and it was one of the most magnificent spectacles which could be offered to the gallant warrior of Pa lestro and Solferino. You know that close to the triumphal arch of Piazza Castello, about a hundred yards on the right, stands this large building, which was erected in 1806 by order of the first Napoleon. The Arena, or amphitheatre,wu designed by the Milanese architect Canonici, and it is formed of an ellipse, whose greater diameter is 780 feet, and its lesser 390. It is a vast enclosure, surrounded by 10 rows of stone seats, arranged in the manner of the Roman amphitheatres, and capable of contain ing 30,000 spectators. At one end of the greater diameter ate the "Tine," or dens, flanked by towers; at the other a triumphal Doric gateway of granite, of the most exquisite design. At one end of the lesser diameter is a portico of eight Corinthian columns of polished granite, which is called " Pal vinare," and this is the place destined for the select portion 4 the spectators. The Arena can be flooded for naval exhibitions by letting the water of the Naviglio into it tLrough a spacious sub terranean passage. On this solemn occasion the Arena of Milan had been elegantly decorated with festoons of flowery, Venetian masts, and pennons floating from the summit of short flagstaffs, upon which the numbers of the French and Pied monts*, regiments and the names of the battles were inscribed. A host of French and Italian flags were hoisted on the centre of the amphitheatre upon long poles, which surrounded an elegant temple of fireworks. The whole of the large enclosure was thronged by a crowd of 30,000 epectatore, who had come there to cheer the King, and to solemnise the fete of his powerful ally. Races of Italian horses, of Roman carts. performances of jester", the ascension of Monsieur Godard's balloon, and splendid fireworks, were the entertain ments given to the Milanese on that day. It is true that, except the effect produced by the fireworks, which was, indeed, very fine, the other amusemen ts were somewhat shabby and poor displays. But what was really magnificent was the general aspect of the crowded amphitheatre. At six o'clock the King made hid appearance, and took his seat on the Pulvinare, with Marshal Vai:- lent and a brilliant French and Piedmontese staff. Of coarse there were both in the emblems of the ornaments and in the allusive figures of the fee works all sorts of compliments paid to the French army and to the Emperor. An enormous letter N, surmounted with an imperial crown, was dazzling the eyes of the spectators from the top of the triumphal Doric gateway. Under this letter there was an inscription of thanks to the Milanese ladies for the kind solicitade they have bestowed upon the wounded of the army. When the fire was put to the central temple, the words it Viva Na poleon', Viva Vittorio &Emanuele" appeared in a blaze of tricoloured lights, which made the effect really magnificent. It teems that both the King and the French Marshal were greatly pleased with the entertainments, for they did not leave the Pulvinare till the performance was over. I need suitably add that oa this oecsaion, ao on all ocea 'ions, Victor Emmanuel was received with the enthusiastic cheers of the spectator,. The general illsmivation of the Lake of Como took place last night. It is not in my power worthily to describe the splendour of the scene which was offered by the fit:pone lake on that night. It seemed to he something supernatural, some apparition of another world; it seemed the effect of a fairy Einem, the apparition of a new Armida garden se it is described by the Italian poet. From the harbour of Como to the Punta di Tramezzo, and from that heavenly spot to the Pliniana, all the villas and villages which dot the two banks of the lake were a blaze of painted lights. A myriad of coloured balloons were covering hundreds of boats, which, running from 0)04 point of that splendid mirror of waters to another, sok of it a sort of fantastic and mid ball-room, whore thousands of instruments were playing their celestial humanise. It seemed as if tie divine exiles of Olympus had met there to celebrate some old festivity of the Pagan heaven : nay rather, it appeared like oar own paradise, as the genius of Milton pictured it. Fancy the whole of this fairy scene animated by the gaiety and beauty of Italian women ; fancy the harmony of their songs, the thrill and glow of their enthusiasm, and you will still form but a faint idea of what the Lake of Como was on that entrancing night. The ladies were almost all clad in light dresses of white muslin, with their ebon hair uncovered, singing the tender songs of their country. The god desses of those villas, the Martinis, the Litta Bo ninis, the Visoonti Sanseverinoe, the Cutelbareos, and hun dreds of other fair Milanese ladies were in their rich and elegant boats, throwing dowers upon the rippling waters of the lake. It was a scene to be witnessed nowhere, except at Como, it was the combination of art and nature carried to the utmost of human perfection. The most important political incident of the Milanese long festival was the toast made by Marshal Valliant to the dejeuner dinatoire given by the King the day before yesterday. The words spoken by the old marshal on suck an occasion are too important to excuse me if I report them in the original language in which they were uttered. Victor Emmanuel having proposed the health of his powerful ally, Marshal Valliant rose and said : Meeslears,js Tons propose de boire i Is saute de 8.

I have heard from a good source that the Zurich conferences are proceeding slowly. In the first meeting it has been agreed that there shall be three distinct treaties of peace. The first will be concluded between I France and Austria, the second between the former power and Sardinia, and the third, which will em• body the main provisions of the others, will be signed by the three belligerent powers. (71011 OUR OWN TURIN, Meyer 17. As I suppose you will raisin some direct commu nications from Zurich, I shall not trouble you with What I gather here tram persons not saintly on the spot. The conferences then will be prolonged more than was at first expected, because Austria, although she does not absolutely refuse a European congress, is trying in every way she can to settle the articles of pesos in the present conferences. She is too well aware that in a European congress she would meet with no favour from any power as regards the affairs of Italy ; and she has another and more powerful Tenon besides. She has been advised and persuaded by the clerical party, especially at Vienna, to avoid and elude a congress. You know there is nothing the Pope more dreads and abhors than to see the Roman question submitted to such a diplomatic council, or to have reforms in his own states so much as suggested by it. It is now no longer a secret to any one that no sooner was the verification of the credentials over at Zurich, and the discussion opened respecting the immediate results of the cession of Lombardy, than Austria brought forward pretexts well calculated to destroy all hope of a speedy and amicable arrangement. To obviate the untowardness of a yet greater mien derstanding--and what I am now telling you comes from a most trustworthy source—the plenipoten tiaries agreed to draw up, not one common treaty, but three : one between France and Austria, another, equally distinct, between France and Sardinia, and, lastly, a third between all the three powers. Sar dinia was the more willing to accept this tripartite arrangement, as she hopes by so doing to pre serve better the respect she considers to be her due. The most adverse clauses will not havebeen stipulated by her either in a direct or spontaneous way, and in the collective treaty at the end she can insist upon some reservations that will keep her honour intact in the public opinion of Italy. The priociple of nationality must be recognised by all parties, for of this principle Victor Emmanuel doss not mean for a single instant to cease to be the representative and champion. Notwithstanding all this, it is very hard to believe, especially after the speeches of Lord John Russell in the House of Commons, that the con ferences of Zurich can solve the present most intri cate and difficult Italian question. In a very few days we shall know the wishes of the four central Italian province., Tuscany, Modena, Parma, and the Romagna. It is nearly certain what the vote will be—namely, the same in all the four ; that it will express a unanimous resolution not to have any re storation of the old forms of government, and a wish tor annexation to Piedmont. If lam correctly informed, the Sardinian cabinet, as soon es it knows the wishes of the peoples in central Italy, and receives officially their solemn tender of allegiance to Victor Emmanuel, does not intend advising him to refuse it, but to appeal to Europe and invite it to deliberate both on the openly expressed desire of the people and the right which this desire creates. It does not seem possible to me that all this will take place without exercising a powerful influence on the conferences of Zurich. The lets of the Emperor of the French wu oele brated the day before yesterday with pomp, not only at Turin, but at Genoa, Milan, Modena, Florence, and some other cities. Sincere applaue was be stowed, not only on the Ft ench army, but on Napoleon 111. himself. The Italians are recovering from the deep grief and stupor occasioned by the abrupt peace of %Instruct' ; they reflect that, at all events, they ought not to show themselves ungrateful to the man merely because he gave lees than he promised ; that he might have given just nothing at all; and that his promise will in some degree bind him for the time to come. Be that as it may, the French govern ment is discountenancing the too great intimacy springing up between the troops and the citizens, and Marshal Valliant has accordingly refused the request of the National Guards to be allowed to give a banquet to the French officers. CENTRAL ITALY. (MOM ♦ OCIWIIPONDINT4 FLOREKCE, AUOVIT 17. It appears to be pretty certaio, although there are contradictory rumours on the subject. that Garibaldi does not assume the command of the federative army of Central Italy, but only of the army of Tuscany.

The President of the Council of Ministers and Minister of the Interior, B. RICASOLI. _ _ The Secretery•Cleceral of the Tuscan Cloveremot --- CELESTINO BIANCHI. General Ullos persists in resigning. He wishes to retire into private life. The proposition for annexing Tuscany to Piedmont is supported by all the greatest names in the country. Prince Strozzi, Count Piecolomini, and Count Ugolino de la Oherardesca are among the leaden of the movement. The latter is a lineal descendant from the Count Ugolino immortalised by Dante. The old Marquis Capponi, who was once styled by M. Thiess " the first citizen in Europe," came down to the Feisty) Vecchio the othor day to give his vote for the downfall of the House of Lamine. He is stone blind, and as he walked along, leaning on the arm of his son-in-law, many members of the Assem bly were effected to tears. It was remembered that this illustrious man said to the Grand Duke Leopold on the day when he revoked the statute: "Your highness, listen to the last counsel, of a friend. Do not lean upon the house of Austria, for if you do you will surely fall with it." It is rumoured that Prince Poniatowski, who is expected here to-morrow on a mission from the Em peror Napoleon, brings an offer on the part of Austria to erect Venice into an independent Italian state, with the Archduke Maximilian for sovereign, on condition that the Tuscans will receive the Grand Duke Ferdinand IV. It is needless to say that this offer, like all others tending to the same object, how ever artfully they may be framed, comes too late. Prince Poniatowski will arrive just in time to see the Tuscan Assembly vote the annexation of Tuscany to Sardinia. His minion will utterly fail, as Count Reined has already done. INDIA. THE BOMBAY MAIL. The Bombay overland express mail has brought letters and journals from Bombay to the 21st July inclusive. The following is from the summary of the Bombay flatland limes: It le bane that 8,000 or 10,000 of the European troops of the late Rut India Company will claim their discharge. In Rajpootana, Bangor. and Center small bodies of rebels are still moving shoat.

What is the state of our Koh:mail to-day—what the state of Rajpootana end Central Indin? We defy any man oat of the precincts of the council room to tell. We received information yesterday of two important ace liens having been fought near Saugor within the last month by Lieutenant Roome, of the 10th Nadu Infantry, with arena rebel bodice, consistier, as we suppose, of the debris M Tsai. Tepee's force. Lieutenant Romeo, than whom the wise doss not contain • more gallant soldier, is com ameding, embolic' e, a detachment of the 10th Native la featry, and of Mayne's Rom, at Basonda, and is said to have surmised Adeel M. hammed on the 23. d ult., in the neighbourhood of Goortepoons. The attacking forte coo sisted of 160 men of the 10th Native Infantry, and 100 of the horse. Rooms Int Baffled& on the 22nd, hoping that pm rebels, said to be 2,000 strong, and amongst them 800 mutineffe, would await his snack, if made with act small a force. The rebel leader had taken ups strong p Fiume in the hills, about a offs distant from Gooriepoors, but stems to have wonted courage at the lest moment to sustain the assault. Our little column advsaced carefully, though rapidly, upon the position, to find it aban doned. Lieutenant Blau with the cavalry went in purs and cut ep a hundred of the enemy. The column was fired upon on its return at the village of Goortethora, when Roome gave orders to storm It, an operation which war per formed without lose, and the supplies of an army collected therein destroyed. On the 27th information was brought into Bermuda that another leader, Sutferez Khan, with sepoys, wee again encamped at Gouriepoore ; and Rues marched at twelve o'clsclt that eight to come upon the rebel. jus t as they were preparing to march in the morning. T he cavalry were at once let slip, bat the rebels made fur and secured the hills. A few only were cut up. These were all Siegal berm and showed a good deal of discipline in their Moths, for aher the first charge they took up a portion in she rocks where the horses could not follow. and kept up a steady Gm of musketry and abuse upon the assailenta. The Infantry finally dislodged them from the ground they had takes, killing • ledge numter of them, and ceptatiog all their berms and baggage animals. Among the dead were Sepoya who had fount at Mooltan lead Ourarat, as was evidenced by the medal, that were found upon them. The diem of three operations has been to reduce the cheerios to the semblance of loyalty. The villagers had previously refuted supplies., and vaunted that they did I not recognise the English Sicker, and would sell nothing to the troops. It is hard to see the end of this state of matters. We are teetotal; the whirlwind, and know not when our work will be done. Gwatton.—Particulare have been received in Bombay of a very gallant action being fought by Major Meade in the neighbourhood of &epee.. On the morning of the 14 instant, Meal, arrived at the village et Gaffe/diem with 40 men of the 92nd Hight's:Mere, 100 of Meade's Horse, and 100 of the 9th Native Reentry.

RAJPOOTAXA.—Extract of a letter from Relpootans, 2nd July :—.62.7m0n goes towards Nuggur Parker. It appears that Colonel Evens and Lieutenant Tyrwhitt thought the boldness wee over, and dismissed almost all the troops, re. mining only two I and a couple of cotnpanim. On the night of the 20th (the day that the head quarters of the lielooch battalion marched on their return to Hyderabad), the Nagger Parker Rua made a successful attempt to escape, overpowered and out down EVll2l4'll and Tyrwhitee guards, eat lb. teat rope., seared the treesuee. end liberated the pri.

The two companies of Belocrelmes, however, moat have stock to it; for they were fighting till sunrise, woes Johnson's Baluchi:tees returned and cleared the place, pursuing the relels into the hills, with severe lute, and killing many of the buffeted prisoner". Another field force has gone out tom Deese, end they will be obliged to maintein • force at Nuggur Parker for some time to come. EUROPEAN LEVIES OF THE LATE COMPANT.—Tbere It every reason to beleve that eight or Pen thousand of then troops will demand their discharge, in terms of the general order published by us in oar last issue. It is impossible to my whether a new bounty would have led these men to re enlist or not.
