The rebels are " terribly strong," writes a correspondent from Calcutta : Hour by hour they receive accessions of men from Go ruckpore, from llohilcund, and even from Central India, The leaders, driven from Etawah, Allyghur, Futtyglitir Goruckpore, and Banda, are swarming to Lucknow, with picked bands of desperadoes. The force there concentrated will in a few weeks be not less than 60,000 fighting men, with at least eighty guns and plenty of ammunition. Th e walls are being repaired, the streets intrenched, and the houses freshly loopholed. Everything indicates that the insurgents, driven to bay, intend to die fighting, and with the means at their disposal they may hold Lucknow as they once hell Bhurtpore. They themselves believe that the attack will end in the destruction of both parties. A n officer engaged in executing a party of them asked each before he died why he had fought, and what WRS to be the end of it all. Each gave the same answer—" The slough. ter of the English was required by our religion. The end will be the destruction of all the English and all the erpoys, and then—God knows." All the loopholing in the world, he remarks, will be of no avail against Sir Colin's artillery, which is " magnificent " It is easy to talk of 87,000 men in India, and the state ment has had an excellent effect upon the native mind, which the Indian journals wisely decline to impair. But the truth is just this—when the revolt broke out we had not 18,000 Europeans in Bengal, between Calcutta and Peshawur. As I told you, during the struggle of six months whole regiments have been annihilated, and we have not 24,000 European infantry south of the Sutlej, calculate them how you will. At every station reoccupied we have to leave at least a wing to restore the authority of the civil power. There are 20,000 disarmed sepoys to be watched. There is Rohilcund to clear, and the commander in -chief, with all his persistent energy, cannot collect 13,000 Ett• ropeans. Meantime Sir Colin'Campbell is busy clearing the country; by the last accounts he was moving on Bareiliy. Far away to the south of the commander in-chief Jung Bahadoor is aiding his operations. On the 6th of January he re entered Goruckpore, and the Nazim Mahommed Hoossein fled without a struggle : Jung himself, it is said, intends as soon as he can obtain carriage to join the commander-in-chief in time for the attack upon Lucknow. He is said to have asked for a slice of Oude in independent sovereignty for himself, not his master. He imagines that an independent crown, however small his territcry, would afford him new weight among his countrymen. The appanage, moreover, would afford him a safe retreat in the event of a revolution in Nepaul. The request is very Asiatic, and the story may be correct, but I cannot vouch for its authenticity. I can for the following one :—Jung Bahadoor has required that all executions should take place at a distance from his camp, as he cannot prevent his soldiers from resisting the execu• tion of Brahmins That is not a pleasant hint from our most powerful ally in a war commenced upon a question of caste pretensions. The majority of the Goruckpore men have fled into Oude. There was one report about that the great Oude zemindars have offered to surrender on condition of immunity. They offer to reveal the entire plan of the revolt from first to last, and to surrender every man guilty of any atrocity, receiving in return im munity for themselves. A second report, and one upon which more reliance, it is unfortunately believed, could be placed, was that Sir Mountstuart Jackson, Captain Patrick Orr, Lieut. Barnes, Sergeant Major Motion, Miss Madeleine Jackson, and Mrs. Petrick Orr, who were known to be in the hands of the Oude rebels, have been massacred : It s as hoped that they would be spared as hostages, but the thirst for blood is still unslacked. All the males were blown from the guns in the first week of this month. The ladies are still alive, but in confinement, and have lost, they say, all reckoning of time. The Governor-General has offered a lac of rupees fur each of them, but, 1 fear, without effect —Times cor. On the 12th of June Sir James Outrain was attacked at the Alumbagh by a force which be estimates at 30,000 men. No details have been published, but the contract was protracted, as Sir James Outram, though he has strengthened his position, has barely 4,000 men. The enemy were defeated, and retired, leaving 400 dead upon the field, while the British had not lost a single man. Only six were wounded--a fact which has occurred only once before in this war, in the engagement at Futtypore. On the 15th the enemy came on again, led this time by a Hindoo fanatic, most probably, from his name, a faqueer of the Monkey Temple in Await'. They kept up a desultory fight from ten a.m. to nine p.m., eleven hours, but retreated at nightfall, leaving their leader in the hands of the British, and a great number of wounded on the ground. Our loss was again reported trifling—a fact due (writes a cor respondent) partly to generalship—our leaders being fairly awake to the value of European life, and partly to the withering power of the Enfield In Central India and the Deccan, matters were not so satisfactory as we have been led to belive Nana Sahib is hovering about Futtelighur, with somo 800 horse. The general belief is that, he has gone to INDIA. THE BOMBAY MAIL. The following telegram from her Majesty's Acting Consul-Genetal in Egypt was received at the Foreign office Feb. 21, at 1.45 p. in : ALEXANDRIA, Feb. 16, 1858. The Oriental arrived at SnPz the 13th inst. She brings Bombay dates to the 28th January. The commander-in chief moved on the 14th January with the head quarters of his army to a position (Kanowy), oc• cupied up to that time by Walpole's Brigade. That corps had been previously thrown forward to the Ganges, for the purpose of constructing a bridge at a point opposite the confluence of that river with Rimighur. Brigadier Walpole completed the required bridges and crossed the Ganges by it into Rohilcund. The commander-in•chief reviewed and inspected the brigade previous to its departure for Bareilly, whither it was to march fur the purpose of clearing the city of the rebels under Khan Bahadoor Khan. Sir Colin Campbell himself did not intend entering Ro hilcund with the main body till he received from Agra a siege -train, to be escorted down by her Majesty's 38th. The rebels who passed from Rohilcund into the Moo znffernuggnr district on the 30th January were beaten by Captain Boisragen, end driven back aen,ss the river. The Calpee rebels are still in force, it is said, under the leadership of the Nana Sahib, and that this chief is threatening ns in the direction of Nagotee. If this be the gradual concentration of columns from Jubbulpore, News, and Mehore, there will wan be an end to this resistance. An engagement took place between Captain Montgo mery, the Superintendent of Police at Ahmednuggur, and a gang of Ilheels in the district of Chanelore, on the road to Mallagamur. Captain Montgomery, three other officers, and fifty men were wounded. This - telegram arrivedDiMalta and Alexandria by her Majesty's ship Urgent on the 20th Feb., at 11.541 p.m. (Signed) LYONS, Admiral. CHINA. CAPTURE ,JF The following telegram was received at the Foreign-office, Feb. 21, at 10 a.m.:— AIANANintiA, Feb. 16, 1858. The Bengal has just arrived ■t Suez, and brings the following intelligence : Sir Cohn Camp'aell had defeated the rebels [at] Futty ghur, and was waiting for a heavy siege -train from Agra, on arrival of which he would move with his whole ,force, in concert with Jung flahadoor, on Oude. Canton was taken the 29th of December. Commissioner leh was captured on the sth of January, also the Tartar general. Yell was taken in the dress of a coolie. Lio was sent on board the Inflexible on the Bth. (Signed) LYONS, Admiral. The intelligence from India is on the whole satis factory. Sir Colin Campbell has been everywhere
