It is not a mere ceremonial, or pleasure trip. Louis NAPS LEON well knows what he is about, and is by no means disposed to wasta his time in idle formali ties. His former visit was an assurance of friend ship and fidelity, not only to the SOVEREIGN, but to the British People, Ile appeared in public, and received an ovation, such as it was then be lieved he was entitled to. Ile was associated with us i n a great undertaking, and had honour ably fulfilled every pledge. Since that time however the war was brought to a very low and impotent conclusion, chiefly through the influence of the Emperor NA POLE DN—Rassiet was exonerated from the consequences she had so richly merit e d, and suffered to esc,ipe with comparative im punity. England was induced to surrender the unquestionable privileges to which she was mainly indebted for her maritime supre macy, and which NELSON declared she would sacrifice her last man and her last shilling rather than surrender, and heavy onslaughts were made on the freedom of the Press—one of her most cherished institutions —and on the hospitality which she had ever freely accorded to political 1 refugees of all classes. Since the inaugpicious Peace, thus patched-up, b THE SUN,LONPON, WEDNESDAY EVENING AUG U.Sr 5, ; France has joined with Russia, rather than with England. Her Ambassador, at Constantinople has resolutely opposed the English views, and has just succeeded in overthrowing the Turkish Minis try--a fact, which we are told, "has filled France with joy and exultation, as it is held to be the triumph of if. Thouvenel over Lord t,tratford," " a check upon English influence in the East." ! The resumption of diplomatic relations between France and Naples, without regard to England, is also more than hinted at. It is quite clear that it is the intention of our good and faith ful Ally to permit Great Britain to play second fiddle in all matters of European interest, and he now comes over to carry out these views, and to bespeak the cc-operation of the irresponsible Premier. He will not appear in public—being well aware that his reception would not be quite so enthusiastic as on his last visit. But much may be accomplished in confidential intercourse. We fear, however, that it will be in the interest rather of Germanism than of Anglicanism. Things may bo made tolerably pleasant. A union of the Danubian Principalities might be arranged, provided a Prince of the favoured House of COBURO ascended the throne. Uncle LEOPOLD wants something for that "dear little FLANDERS." The " tiddi ittle sing" would like a crown and sceptre, and why should it not accomplish its wishes ? NAPOLEON can help it ; and surely no price would be too great for such an object. Journalism may be obliged to succumb. England may cease to be a refuge for the afflicted—may forfeit the prestige it has maintained inviolable for a long succession of ages—but what would these things be in com• parisou to the placing the Count DE FLANDRES on a throne, and regulating the English Govern ment on the most approved German models ! We confess that we cannot regard this visit without serious apprehensions. If it were merely one of these reunions calculated to cement the ties of friendship, it would be very different. But there are many matters, now in abeyance, in which the French Court have taken views dia metrically oppposed to those on which the Eng lish people are earnestly bent. The consideration of such questions should be left to Ministers re sponsible both to the Parliament and the nation. We do not desire either the Imperial or Princely interference which may possibly re sult from this meeting. Cuunt WALEWSKI attends the EMPEROR. Should not Lord PAL MERSTON Or Lord CLARENDON be also admitted to the secret councils? The presence of either would give some assurance that nothing would take place that could not be defended in Parliament, and that English interests would be fully pro tected at all points. Lord PALMERSTON has achieved the reputation of being a truly English Minister. He has never yielded to continental intrigues, and has not recognised the nepotism in favour of German cousins. It would be but fitting that the Prime Minister of England should be at hand ready to advise his Sovereign oa any points that may arise. He would be the proper party to meet Count WALEwsxr, and we earnestly hope that his attendance at Osborne during the visit may remove some of the "doubts and fears" that unfortunately cast as to its objects and pos sible results. The state of India requires the most prompt and speedy attention. The mutiny must be speedily suppressed, and the guiPy parties severely punished, if we desire to retain our Empire:. Every day lost will materially add to the difficulty and expense. The people have not as yet taken any pact in the inhurrection ; but how long will this be the ease? The slightest cheek to our ann9, or even a protracted occupa tion of Delhi by the insurgents, may kindle a flame throughout the length and breadth of the land that would render a ne►v conquest of India indispens:Oilo. We have no doubt as to the re sult, but vast expense and annoyance may be saved by energetic action in the early stages. A expenditure in the first instance will be found to be true economy in the long run. It is also due to the English men, women, and chil dren stationed in the out-district=, many of whom have been treated with tuch revolting barbarity. The saving of their valuable lives is surely worth a little extra exertion, before the spirit of revolt is suffered to reign paramount in British India. We have already suggested that the gunboats, which were constructed before the termination of the Russian war, should now bo made available. They would be peculiarly valuable in the Indian Ocean, and on filo coast of Clina. Nay, some of them might ply on the larger rivers, and they would keep the peace admirably, and also act as places of refuge to the English in the vicinity. We need scarcely expatiate on the vast importance of such a demonstration. These vessels, aided by the auxiliary screws, woul 1 speedily arrive at the scene of action, and each could convey a certain number of troops, whose ser vices would be inestimable during the crisis. Why, then, should they not be forthwith despatched ? Simply, because they are held by cables of red tape, which cannot be removed until the voice of public opinion speaks plainly and intelligibly on the point. Sir CHIRLES WOOD is not the man to got rid of such impediments, until " the pressure from without" becomes too stringent to admit of further procrastination. The overl ind route might al.3° be made avail able. We are satisfied that the Peninsular and Oriental Company would lend every assistance, and that no difficullies would be created on the part of the Egyptian authorities. It must be borne in mind that it is not a war with another nation in which we are engaged. It is merely to put down intestinal commotion, to which every friendly Power—every lover of order would wish t 3 contribute in any way practicable. The troops at Malta and other quarters in the Medit3rranean might thus be sent on, and they could reach India in some five or six weeks, at the outside- It would unquestionably be an expensive under taking ; but mere questions o: X s. d. should be completely ignored, and it would be found the best economy in the long run. In a letter from Major- Gen. HEARSEY, an extract from which has appeared in a morning contemporary, that distinguished officer writes in the following terms. He says :-- "If large, very large, reinforcements of British troops are not poured into Hindostan, across the Isthmus of Suez, i. e., via Alexandria and Cairo Railway, and immense stores of coals sent by the same railroad to Suez, to coal the steamers for for their return, so that the QUEEN'S troops can be pushed on with the least p)ssible de lay, it will go hard with all of us. This ought to be published to the British nation ; in my name if you like. I will take all responsi bility. The authorities —Lord PANMURE, the Horse Guards, the Board of Control, and the Directors —must join heart and hand in these measures ; money now must be a secondary con sideration." This is sound advice, and rests on high authority. Money must indeed be a secondary consideration under existing circumstances. Our first duty is to suppress the insurrection. Our neat to punish the miscreants who have proved " un faithful to their salt," and all their aiders and abett)re, whoever they may be. If the ex-King of OEIDE, the Nawab of Moorshedabad, or their quondam, potentates can be proved to be implicated, the pensions they receive, and the possessions which they have been allowed to retain, will go some way towards defraying the expenses. The funds supplied by the Company must not be applied in any manner injurious to its ins-rests. Without knowing it we were certainly drifting to a Revolution. Lord PALMERSTON has been, un awares to us all, maturing a Universal Suffrage coup d'etat for 1858, and we are deeply indebted, therefore, to Lord BROUGHAM, in the Indian Summer of his life, or in his cruda viridisque sencctats, as we used to say, for putting us on our guard. What if we had been caught napping ; and had waked up one fine morning next spring, and found in the columns of the Times a three hours' Speech from the Premier, introducing a Reform Bill, comprising Universal Suffrage, the Ballot, and all the rest of the points in which his Lordship is so well known to delight ! What would have become of the Funds—what of the House of Lords and the Crown—in a word, of our glorious Constitution ? Every heart would have throbbed with the fear that he was about to become the WALEWSKI or the PERSIGNY of a new Empire—to put the Throne of Queen VICTORIA to the vote—to place wholesale fetters on the press—and to nominate candidates a little more openly than he did at the Southampton election. Well ; let us be thankful then that We have got a Lord BROUGHAM. Taking occasion from a mo tion for unimportant papers—about as much con nected with his speech, as the greased cartridges with the Indian mutinies, his Lordship declared himself in open mutiny against the promised Re form Bill of 1858. Lord BROUGHAM stands by the Act of 1832. Ho acknowledged defects, great ones perhaps, but all remediable ; funda mentally it is the Act we want ; no " com prehensive sweeping clauses" are needed. Revising Barristers might be appointed a little more judiciously. A few educat'onal and first class Artizin votes might be added without dan • ger, but his Lordship desired to " enter his pro test against any measure of Parliamentary Reform being proposed, the tendency of which would be to make our constitution more democratic than it has been made by the Bill of 1832." The Act of 1832 is a model Act. It did not inaugurate re volution on the one band, but prevented it on the noted 10th of April, 1848. Nor was it on the other hand a mock measure of Reform. It was a large measure of Reform." It was a new start of our old Constitution ; we may trim, add, mo dify a little, but we must not attempt another start. We might extend the suffrage a little ; generally, however, to those who have it in another form already; but we may not lower it—not give a vote to 51. or 71. householders, or anything of that wild revolutionary kind. We are sure Mr. DISRAELI and the Earl of DERBY are deeply indebted to the noble lord. Lord PALMERSTON, too, ought to thank him for warning him that no democratic or socialist pranks will be tolerated in A.D. 1858. One extension of the suffrage against which Lord BROUGHAM points his strongest denuncia tions, is that proposed by Mr. LOOSE KING. It may seem hard, but he thinks it essential that the 101. householders in counties should live and die voteless, lest the voice of the country should be lost ! The representation would by Mr. L. KING'S measure be thrown into the bands of the boroughs ! The reconciling fact, according to his Lordship, is, that there are other anomalies ! such a one, for instance, as the West Riding of Yorkshire and the county of Rutland returning the same number of members. Really, begging the pardon of so great a man, and in his eightieth year too, we do Eta to perceive how one anomaly justifies another. We are so obtuse that it will seem to us that every anomaly which admits of removal might as well be removed at once. And then, as to the power supposed to be handed over to the boroughs—how is it possible ? No one we presume ever thought of giving county votes to those who had already a vote in boroughs ; Mr. KING certainly did not. If, then, Lord BROUGFIA.3I subtracts all the boroughs which return, or should return Members, the remainder will become a class of small agricultural market towns, not many grades in intelligence above the Chandos and other agricultural voters, whose ignorance and subser viency to their landlords his Lordship seems to think such pillars of our " gl )rious Constlatiou" as revised and corrected. by HENRY Lord BROUGHAM and others in 1832. There is one proposal of his lordship with which, on the first blush of it, we heartily concur. He wishes to save electors the bore of annual regis tration and annual watching of their registration. He would lay down the rule, "once a voter always a voter." There is, he just'y observes, no reason why, because a man changes from a 101. to an 81. or 51. house, he should be struck off the list. His having once had the better house shews that he is a respectable man, and he should thenceforward retain his vote for life without further trouble. Combine with this the abolition of the rate-paying clauses (a fruitful source of annoyance), and the list of electors would bo nt once considerably increased. What ever changes be made in the franchise, we do hope that this change will be aceeptsd by all parties. It would save all of us trouble ; would be alike fair to all, and would reduce the registration business to the verifying of new claims and re movals. LATEST NEW. every hour with recital of some fresh disaster. In the afterncOw tidings came from Azimgurh, a station 40 miles e',istant, that the troops there had risen in mutiny, i P:eot their officers, plundered the Treasury, and pery treted various other outrages. The station had long been watched by the authorities here with suspicion and alarm, and now, when at length the tidiegs came, they resolved at once to disarm the 37th Native In fantry, which was the most suspected of the regiments here. We bail two other regiment,, one of native ca valry, and one of Sikh foot, and though both the:a also were suspected still some confidence was entertained that they would remain firm. About half-past five p.m. we were startled by a rapid discharge of rifles and the boom of cannon. We could not doubt what it meant. The troops had mutinied. Our hence is just on the outskirts of the city, and a mile in the opposite direction are the military lines, where the fighting was going on. Now it was fully expected that the mutiny of the troops would be a signal for the instantaneous rise of all the rabble of the city, and the immediate destruction of European property and life. Our only resource was flight. Mr. Heinig and family immediately set off for Raigbat, to Mr. Smith, our missionary, whose house presents many advantages for a retreat, and is situated on the hank of the river and quite out of the way the rebels were likely to take. We intended to take the same road, but, after going a little distance, were alarmed by souls Sepoys, and fled towards the lines. Mr. Kennedy's house was in our way and we resolved at once to go there. It was deserted. Mr. Kennedy and his family had fled some time before. We determined to remain here for a little. We were now within about half a, mile of the fi 11 of con flict, and all this time a ceaseless discharge of rifles and of cannon was kept up. But we knew not who were fighting, and were kept in a state of fearful suspense. We had only about 200 European troops in the station and three cannon to about 2,000 native troops, and had the latter been united escape seemed impossible. The regularity and rapidity with which the artillery were served left no doubt that it was stilt in the hands of skilled men, and so far eimouraged thehopethat our troops were victorious. Gradually the firing grew moreirregular until it almost ceased, an occasional shot dieturbing the silence that now prevailed. Evening had already set in. From an occasional stra.., , gler coining our way we learned that the 37th N.I. and the Sikhs had rebelled and been de feated and had fled. The road was very quiet and we bad only about a fourth or third of a mile to go to reach the Mint, a large building which had often been talked of as a rendezvous for Europeans in case of turnulr, a❑d which was now occupied by a few of our troops. After some hesitation, and not without misgivings, we resolved to go there ; and reached in safety to our great thankfulness and joy. Here many had already assembled and others were continually arriving. We were only a quarter of a mile now from the battle-field, and we soon learnt that all the 37th N.I. had rebelled, all the Sikhs who were on the field, and a considerable portion of the cavalry. The guns had made much havoc of the Sikhs, but nearly all the 37th and Cavalry had escaped. On our side one or two officers had been shot dead and three wounded, and one man killed and about five wounded. It was also said that 80 to 100 Sikhs were left dead on the fill. Tile night, you may imagine, was a very anxious ono. Escorts had to be sent out in all directions to bring in European residents and defend them from the rebel troops lurking about in every corner. The Magazine bad to be guarded in one place, and the Mint in another, and the Treasury in a third, and besides this there were 1,000 or 1,500 native troops in rebellion who might still unite and attack any one of these points in concert, while on our side was only a mere handful of men, and yet I ought not to say so, there was One on our side in finitely greater than all they that were against us, and only to His special interposition can we attribute our safety. Indeed, when I look at the dangers we have escaped, our preservation can only be regarded as a miracle. Our God has indeed poured confusion on the counsels of our adversaries, and to Him alone we would ascribe our safety and deliverance. The outbreak here was immediately followed by complete anarchy throughout the surrounding country. God has very mercifully, and contrary to all expectations, preserved order in the city. No houses have been burnt, and nut one plundered. But all round the country is in a state of the greatest con fusion. "Troops are passing here daily. Allahabad is garri soned by a small number of Euiopean troops, and the fort and magazine are in their hands, but the city has been plundered and all Europeans without the fort have been murdered. Cawnpore, too, has received aid ; the Europeans there for weeks past have had to entrench themselves and sleep behind cannon. Owls is in an uproar from one end to the other. Here is the, or, at least, one grand centre of disaffection, and it will be well if Sir H. Lawrence, who has acted with consummate skill and energy, shoal I not at length be overpowered. At Agra all native troops have been disarmed, and as they have a strong foe, and one or two Englioh regi ments, oar friends there may b considered safe. From Delhi nothing can be heard. A telegraph came to Be flares only yesterday from the Governor-General urging our commissioner to send out men on cemele, or in any other practicable or impracticable way to obtain infer matior. At Simla the residents were set adrift—it is feared to starve—after being plundered of everything. While here we bave daily to send out escorts 20, 30, or 40 miles to bring in parties of Europeans who have con cealed themselves. Only the night before last about 30 were thus rescued from Jaunpore, 3o miles off. All bore had a most narrow escape—Mr. Reuchter, wife, and four children, Mr. Caesar and wife, of the Church mission, were among them. All have escaped, with the loss of all things. Last night another m scort went out to bring in about the same number from a place 20 miles distant, and Chunar and Al aliabai likewise arc the re sort of numbers of fugitives. All this will, of course, in terfere with the mission work for a loeg time to exile. Happily thus far it has been simply a soldier's question. All the respectable and influential natives stand firmly by the G ivernmeet, and only a few of the voret characters have joined in plundering. In Benares, I believe, we are safe. The rebels have no auunenition, no cen• non, and not maey muskets, and besides are destitute of leaders. In addition to this they are rot united, and have no common object to aim at. Mo,t of the disaf fected troops disperse and go home, and the only tiro points towards which any numbers converge are Oude and Delhi. In Bewares, too, the measures taken were so vigorous and deciAive that the troupe flid panic stricken, and to tide time have scarc , ly recovered their composure. It is not the &Toys we have now to fear so much as the lawless plundering mob that this state of acarchy must produce. We stay with Dr. Lagaoa dur ing the day and sleep in the street just opposite at night. Our house is quiet, but being so near the city and out of cantonments it is not thought desirable at preselit, to re to it." Eight days later, via Bombay, be adds the fol lowing important communication : " Excep'ing Muizapore, thirty miles distant, and Ghez spore, forty miles off every military station within a radius of 100 or 150 miles, has been invaded by mutiny and bloodshed. In some cases the iejury to life and pro perty has been comparatively trifling, in others moat se vere. Azimgurgh 30 miles off, Juanpore 35, Allahabad 70, Futreporo 140, Gorrackpore 120, Luckisow, Sultan poore, and indeed every place loca'ing troops that I can call to mind, within a radius of 200 miles (with the two exceptions before mentioned) has been the scene of mutiny and disorder. At many of these stations the revolt took place after ours at Benares, and c ins; quently tended to keep alive the agitation and alarm felt here. All these tumults have been 'followed by a cerresponding state of lawlessness and disorder in the surrounding vil lages, and to this hour vast tracts of the surrounding country are a prey to plunder, rieting, and bloodshed. We have, however, reason to hope the worst is passed. The mutinies ling ant'cipated are over. They have fled like a passing storm, leaving indeed unmistakeable traces of their progress, but inflicting much less damage, and exhausting themselves much sooner than we expected. We have no longer the Sepays to fear. They have mutinied, plundered, and de. camped, and it is now only the lowest class of heartless plunderers who have to be keptin check. A few troops are sufficient for this purpose, and had we only a thou sand or t wo of English soldiers, in another month through out the division scarce a trace of the outbreak would be left. In Bsnares we had an &freest miraculous escape but in the city the most perfect order has been preserved. The surrounding virages were given up to plunder; but a few native cavalry (about 100 who have remained firm) under European control are rapidly bringing them into order. The effect of martial law hats been almost magi cal. The natives are peculiarly skilled in quibbling, have a decided turn for litigation and find i; very easy to epospe punishment under our system of criminal juris prudence. And even in the last extremity they have an appeal to the Sudder Court, a court which has the re putation of possessing a decided leaning towards the convicted, and of being peculiarly ingenious in detecting technical grounds for their acquittal. So that the usual process of law is no very great terror to the Badmashes, as they are called. But now to be caught plundering in ,the morning, tried the same hour, and executed before noon, strikes them with amazement and terror ; and a few severe examples having been made, the effect is most salutary. Indeed, the very sight and name of a Euro• pean soldier strikes the natives with the greal riot dread, and a dozen Europeans have, more than once, travelled forty or fifty miles, dispersed mobs num bering thousands, and brought in safely large parties of ladies and children. So far as I can learn, order has been restored at most of the large stations around us, and we only need to garrison each of them with a few troops to restore things to their former state. Ara habed Fort is now quite safe, bring occupied by 600 English troops, the Sikhs having been sent out to watch the city. At present, about the only quarter from which we have reason to apprehend anything is Oude. From the latest accounts, Sir H. Lawrence. maintained his po sition in Lucknow, but report states that the rest of the kingdom is disorganised, and large bodies of men are menacing Luckno w. Agra, up to the last date, 9th or 12th of the month, was quiet, but nothing up to the 9th had been done before Delhi. Two native regiments that had mutinied in the Coramander-in-Chief's camp were destroyed ahno 1 to a man." " P. 5.—1 reopen this to say that, since writing the above, authentic intelligence has been received of the defeat of the rebels before Delhi, and the recapture of the city. I have not yet learned the particulars, but the news boa come by telegraph from 'adore, 600 miles dis tant from Benares, and about 300 from Bombay. This would indicate quiet in the regions through which the line passes, and most soon be followed bythe restoration of th e whole telegraphic communication between here and Bombay, an advantage the value of which can scarcely be over -rated. The fall of Delhi, though late, is in time to break the neck of the rebellion, and will doubtless have a very salutary effect. Hundreds of zemindars and many rajahs, and others, were temporising, and just waiting for sufficient indications of weakness in Govern ment to enable them to join the rebels with impunity. They will now pause, and, no doubt, many of them will besome suddenly loyal, and very earnest in the restora tion of order, and afterwards make great capital out of it as an indication of their steadfast attachment to the British Government, and of their fidelity in the hour of peril." " J. G." It will be seen that Mr. Gregson corroborates the intelligence derived by the public prints from. other sources of the fall of Delhi. The last despatch from General Barnard rec:iverl in this coun'ry is dated the Bth of June, so that this intelligence may probably be true. Mr. Lawrence, writing from Monghir, on the 16th of June, says : " Yesterday there was a very great alarm felt by most parties, natives, as well as Europeans, in c inse quenee of a report that the irregular cavalry at Do; g har had murdered their officers, and intended coming to Monghir to rob the treasury. TliC Europeans, who are rather numerous just now, formed themselves hits par ties, and with loaded guns, pistols, etc., kept watch in turn all night. As our quarter cf the station is deserted by Europeans, we thought it right to go to a friend's house in the fort. But lam thankful to say, the night passed quietly, and the native town seems peaceful this morning, but trembling with excitement. Official infor mation has been received by the magistrate, that three officers of the irregular cavalry have been murdered, but the men of the regiment deny that they had any hand in the murder. The circumstances, however, laok ex tremely suspicious. , These are alarming times, but the Lord can keep his people in peace." The Rev. J. Thomas furnishes us with the f3l - letter, dated Calcutta, June 19, 1857 : " In Calcutta we have had serious &arms, and have assuredly great cause for thankfulness that we are alive and able to attend to our duties. Last Sabbath-lay (he 14t1) was a day to be long remembered. From an early hour in the morning conveyances in large numbers were passing our house. This continued all the forenoon, and indeed, more or less, all day. People were crowding to the hotels and other places, and great numbers went on board ships lying in the river. We were urged to follow the example, but I declined, as I did not consider there was so great danger as many imaginer], and, at the same time, did not think there was any place where we should be more secure from harm than our own house. I, however, considered it ex• pedient to do what I could to be prepared for any emergency, and arranged with some of our neighbours that in case anything occurred, my house might 1 e made the common rendezvous where we might protect our selves and our families. "The cause of all this alarm was the detection of a spy, seeking to tamper with a sentinel at the fort, and the discovery of an intended rising of the native troops at Barrackpore, at four o'clock on Sabbath morning. This discovery occasioned considerable activity in send ing \out European troops, and this led to all sorts of horrible surmises as to what had taken place at Barrack pore, and what was to be done in Ca'outta. We were assured earlf 4 on Sabbath moronic , that two regiments bad bolted from Barrackpore with their arms, and were on their way to Calcutta. " The intention to mutiny was undoubted, but, being discovered, it did not take place; but orders were forth with given to assemble more European troops at Bar rackpore, and disarea the three native regiments which were there. This was done without opposition, at about five o'clock in the afternoon, and, at the same time, wlsat native soldiers were in Calcutta were also disarmed, ex cept the Governor-General's Body Guard. I learned these facts between seven and eight o'clock p.m., and therefore, to a great extent, was relieved of all appre hension. Many others were not so favoured, and spent the night in a painful state of excitement. "tie trial of the spy on Sabbath morning led to im portant discoveries. He proved to be one of the King of Glade's people, and it was ascertained that that gen tleman and his party had to do with our troubles. Measures were, therefore, with great secrecy and care taken to apprehend that personage and all his party ; and this was effected during the night, or very early on Mon day morning. ,They were caught in their beds. I under stand a great number of important documents have been seized. They are said to implicate not a few, and show the whole of these, mutinous risings, &c., to have been a Manned thing. It is, as I have long felt confident, a Mussulman plot, the object being not only to overturn the British rule in India, but to destroy all Christians, and root out Christiaeity from the country. You may, however, be pretty sure that Runsia has had a hand in it. I hope God will not only confound all their projects and disappoint their hopes, but bring the parties forth to the light, and ove-rule these terrible events to esta blish the British dominions in India on a firmer basis than ever. I cannot think that God will allow the wcrk his servants have, with so much prayer, commenced to be rendered null and void. I cannot think that he will not arise and avenge the blood of his servants—or that India wilt be again given over into the hands of the vengeful Mussulman. We must wait for Providence to unfold His purposes. We are praying for the down fall of Delhi, and longing - to get authentic news of the event. We have had all but certain news of the death of our dear brother Mackay, and I have ceased to entertain the least hope that Mrs. Thompson and her daughters have escaped. My ntxt door neigh bours are related to them, and they have received a fearful account of the barbarous manner in which they were murdered. It is stated that net one Christian, white or black, has been suffered to l►ve at Delhi. " The Mue.sulmans have been for some time past, cal culating a pretended prophecy that the British rule was to last 100 years ; but, by some means a valuable addition had been tacked on to the prophecy to the effect, that if the people shouli rise everywhere against us this year they would succeed in destroying or driving out of the country alt the English, but that, if they from any cause should fail to do this, the British rule Will last 500 years longer. We are now close on the cente nary of the battle of Eassey, and many expect that a desperate attack will then be made. If we get safely over that day and the next, we may hope for quiet— should authentic news come that Delhi is taken, and its king either killed or a pri s on er , an d es p e Ci a llY if the Nawab of Moorshedabad, and a few others, who are said to be implicated, be also laid hold of, the Mussel mans will hardly venture to give much trouble." From a letttJ• flora the Rev. C. B. Lewis, dated Calcutta, June 19, we glean the following further particulars : "I do not think, however, that even from the news papers any true conception of the fearful alarm which has been 'felt in Calcutta can be gathered. The reports of the atrocities committed at Meerut, Delhi, and Allahabad, have taught us wbat we might look for if Sepoys and Budm Ashes should get the upper haud here, and having discovered that we are a mere handful of people amidst millions of cool friends or bitter enemies, there has been quite a panic. The terror reached its height on Sunday last (the 14 t h), when a prayer meeting was held at the Circular-road Chapel, instead of the.ordinary morning service, and there was no Sabbath school or evening service of any kind. The usual week services also have been given up this week. Oa the same day there was a general flight of European residents from, the suburbs, and especially Entally. Crowded garees'-'aied Coolies, oppressed with bulky loads of beddin g , Might be seen rushing into the city at headlong spee d. Nor did those who dwelt in Park-street or Chowrieghee feel more safe in their man sions. Numbers took refuge in the ships which, on Sun day night, Were crowded. As for us, we had removed on Saturday evening to our friends, the Rowe's. I sup pose we shall continue to Sleep Elliott Rowe's until some day atter- the 23d (Are anniversary and centenary of Plessey). Tile cause for such extreme terror on the 14th was that there was reason to apprehend that the Sepoy regiments at Barrackpore intended . to march upon Calcutta at four o'cleck a.m. of that day. This is con fidently believed hero by nearly all. Toe, seditious plan was somehow discovered and measures were taken to frustrate it. The 78th Highlanders were sent iu from Chinsurab, and a strong party of European troops from ,Fort William. Other parties were stationed at Cex's Bungalow, on the Barrackpore road, and at Dumdum. And small bands of men were posted here and there in the city. If, therefore, the treacherous fellows had done as they intended they would have been cut up t > a man ; but the most absurd rumours were spread and the panic was intense. On Monday morning his Majesty the ex-King of Oude was seized and carried int the fort, and report says that his brother of Moor shedabad is to be brought into the same safe keeping. The Sepoys at Barrackpore and all in Calcutta and Dumdum were quietly disarmed on Sunday evening. They are now en trusted with the ramrods of their mus kets and I think there can be no cense for alarm. It will be some time, however, before the confidence once felt is fully restored. " Dacca has been restless, and a panic arose there. At Jessore there are some suspicious appearances. A rising of the Ferazees is not unlikely, as Doodoo Meah ie in prison at Alipore. You will be glad to know that many of the life priJonere at Alipore have been shipped off to the Mauritiue. Would they were all far off from Calcutta. The Suddar has ieflicted serious injury on us in respiting so many rascals. The first move has generally been to release the prisoners when a mutiny has arisen, and this was intended at Calcutta—or rather Alipore." SIR COLIN CAMPBELL. Our latest advices from Alexandria, by the Colombo, state that Sir Colin Campbell was treated with the most profound respect by the authorities in Egypt.

We yesterday announced the arrival at South ampton of the Colombo, with the heavy portion of the India mail. We now learn that the pas sengers on board, who have come from India, firmly believe that Delhi has fallen. They state that bazaar intelligence outstrips Government in telligence (which is a bad sign, because it shows complicity between the natives in India and the mutineers), and that according to bazaar intelli gence, Delhi had fallen. When the Madras passengers left, an erneuie was fully expected in that presidency. The Eu ropeans were under arms. The passengers think that the mutiny is nct considered in England so serious as it really is. They give some frightful details of atrocities com mitted by the mutineers. In Delhi six European ladies had taken refuge in a room ; one of them, very young and beautiful, concealed herself under a sofa, The other five were subjected to outrage by the mutinous soldiery, and then beheaded. The blood trickled under the sofa, and the young female concealed there betrayed herself by utter ing a shriek. She was seized and taken to the harem of the King of Delhi. This is considered a proof that the King is in league with the mu tineers. Seventeen hundred armed men were found about the residence of the King of Oude when he was taken prisoner, although according to treaty he was not allowed one armed attendant. (EXTRACT Or A LETTER FROM RAJPOOTANA.) ABoo, June 19. We have just received intelligence of a breach having been made in the wall (of Delhi), and the rebels panic stricken. Not one stone, I hope, will be left on another to mark where Delhi stood. The atrocities the wretches have committed within its walls are said to be dreadful—the days of Nadir Shah repeated. .We have had our share of anxiety, Some Mussulman wretches proposed at the "Eed " (feast) kicking up a disturbance, but we were all pre pared, and these few Europeans kept them in order. Nusseerabad and Neemuch are burnt and de stroyed. Our house, a pucka (brick) one, they could not touch, but every article of furniture, itc., they took out and destroyed on the lawn—glass, pictures, books, crockery, &c., everything destroyed ; the plate, carriages and horses taken away. . . . George Lawrence is below doing military duty again as brigadier -general in Rajpootana. He went down to assist Colonel Dixon, who from fatigue sni anxiety was supposed to be dying. He is now recovering, but the poor brigadier was completely broken down, and has put everything in his hands. The fort of Ajmere, with its arsenal, is of great value down here; and bore we have been quits successful in dislodging the suspected traitors, and putting in other troops to hold it (which was chile without a row), and then getting uy European - troops from Deesa to hold it. Ne sooner had they arrived than Mr. Colein writes to have them sent up to protect Agra-200 Europeans and 3 guns being all we have to hold Rajpoota iu check. George Lawrence has respectfully declined. The Kotab Contingent, 1,200 men (cavalry and infantry and 2 guns) who were under Lawrence's orders, Mr. Colvin ordered away to Agra, and having ordered the commandant, Captain Dennys, to move into Ajmere for its protection, Mr. Colvin then got an order from Calcutta by the tele graph, giving him power over every one in Rajpootana. ,Had Dennys obeyed Lawrence, Nusseerabad and Nee much had been saved. * * * General Anson's death saved him from assassination. He was hated by the troops, and they burnt his tents. He was quite unfitted for his post. Horses and gaming appear to have been his pursuits, and as a gentleman said, "No court pet flunky ought to come to India." Every one gave a sigh of relief when they heard he was gone. "Pat Grant" is come over from Madras to head the army till orders come from Englind. Henry Lawrence (also a brigadier-general) has been named for the appointment, hut he cannot be spared from Oude, where he is holding his own with 300 Europeans. A much more difficult position than that of Agra, I fear. God will help bite I have no doubt. He has had one chase after the muti neere, with signal success. George Lawrence has too few troops to follow up the Neemuch mutineers, but was ready to meet them should they come to Ajmere, as they gave out. They, hnwever, have gone the wrong way. I hope they may meet with th e i r reward, for their cruelty was great, and they chased the officers and their jungles.s, i o v t e d s o w nt tOh on e fe fl Pt r h t: t e°ir ne r b an u , and r ning houses all n i g ht into sergeant'sthe wife w h om t h ey attacked, was cut down by the second, and her children thrown into the flames.

"All Europeans all over the country, as well as in Cal cutta, have been c:Illed out as volunteers. We mount guard on picket at night, and mounted patrols guard the streets all night. As yet all has been kept quiet, and I have not the slightest doubt but that now we have bened' the King of Oude, with his head men, all will remain quiet. T. am i❑ the Font Volunteers ; I thought it more likely to be useful than the Horse, and easier to learn. We were all paraded this morning at daylight. My company consists nearly all of Engli , h and Ameri cans. The latter have come forward nobly, and are most useful, having nearly all been drilled. Those in ;43y-com pany are good, honest, hearty men, with all the good qualities of Englishmen. We are divided into companies, according to place of residence, and these, again, into squads of 10 or 12, according to the number in each corn party. I am trying to induce our colonel to divide us into seven squads, each squad to take picket duty once a week. Of course, we are all much exited about it, and none more so than myself. Six squads of mine, numbering 60 men, are without a single half-caste, and many of the men are as big as I Am, so I doubt not that we could thrash about 1,000 Sepoys. Read what sonic 200 British bayonets did at B3nares against 3,000 Se poys. The Sepoys here were all disarmed, as well as at Barrackpore the other day, without trouble. One hund red men of the 37th were sent up to Berhampora yes terday to protect the place, and to bone the Nawab, a sensual Mahomniedan hound, who has been intriguing against us. The Mahominedans are, I suspect, at the. bottom of it all, and will have found the fanatical Brah mins a fruitful soil to work on. May their fathers' graves be defiled."

The steam cutter Requin sailed from Marseilles on Sunday last for Ajaccio, in Corsica, having on board the remains of Charles Bonaparte, Prince of Canino. A steam corvette is about to be built in one of the French dockyards for the Popo, to be called the Sixtus Quintus. For the last two days the weather has been in tensely hot in Paris. Yesterday at two o'clock the thermometer (centigrade) was above 33 in the shade. The Havre journals publish a proclamation to the inhabitants from Larne, the mayor, announ cing that the Emperor and Empress would arrive in that port on Wednesday, about four in the afternoon. Notwithstanding that their Majesties are to travel incognito, the population of Havre seem determ . ncd to manifest their•loyalty by send ing deputations of various branches of trade to rcceive the Imperial visitors. A vast crowd of wringer 3 has already thronged into the town.

Stourdza to be prefect of police in the room of Colonel Alkazi, who is sta . ed to have resigned. The Constitationnel, in remarking on this intelligence, says :—" Although the Gazette asserts that the colOnel has resigned, and although the Government has published an ad dress from the inhabitants, expressing regret at his having done so, a letter of Jassy of the 20th informs us that he was really dismssed for having refused, after a violent altercation with Prince Vogorides, to serve any longer in the Moldavian Government in if s violent policy. The'same letter says that a great nu m ber of inhabitants had sent an address to the Euro pean consuls at Jassy, compleinin that a great di4play of military force had been made in the town, in the tight of the 7th and the following morning with the view of influencing public opinion in the elections of the large landowners. The same consols have re ceived an address from the clergy, complaining that they were awakened in the middle of the night by gendarmes, and made to vote.' The Government fearing that public opinion will blame its acts, has published a few lines in the Gazette, in which it declares that 'the most shameful calumnies are spread on the acts of the Moldavian Government, and are repeated by some French journals.'' SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 31st ultimo have reached us. The Government was actively engaged in pi eparing the budget of 1858 for presentation to the Cortes. It did not doubt that it would be able to provide amply for the re-payment of the Mires loan of 300,000,000 reals, as the cessation of the food crisis would alone give resourcPs amounting to 100,000,000 reals. The Spanish Cabinet is con tinuing its warlike preparations, as if the Mexican afflic were not likely t.) bs settled by mediation." Generals Dabormida and Pastore have Let out from Turin for Ales?andria, in order to direct the armament of that fortress. A hundred guns are to be sent from La Spezia forthwith. " The leave of absence granted to General Tod tleben, who is at present at Kissingen," says a 'eau. from St. Petersburg, " has been extended, at his desire, to next year. Although the health of the General no longer inspires alarm, he has been recommended to remain some time longer in a mild climate." AMERICA. (By ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING.

A writer in a contemporary says :—" Allow me, through the medium of your paper to calf attention to the necessity, in the present unhappy condition of this country, of sending some gun boats for service to the Indian rivers. The smallest of those built for the last war wolld answer for the navigation of the Ganges in the dry weather, pro vided they draw not more than three feet of water. if we had a few now running up and down that river numbers of European lives and vast quantities of property would certainly be saved. A very large proportion of the Europeans who, like Myself, are flying for their lives from the brutal violence 0 the insurgents, have taken refuge on board the steamers of the India General Steam Navigation and Ganges Navigation companies. Many prefer living on board them to going into the for tifl edplaces many of which are not deemed safe, from having, par of their garrisons composed of native troops. The in halitants of places far distant from the Ganges, such as Juanpoor, have fled to the steamers, and all those who can reach them ought to have the same opportunit'es of escape offered them as they have if living in a European cotmtry whictx should enter into war with England. The gunboats might ply up and down the rivers at short inter vals, so as to prevent the plundering of native boats by the village people, who are believed to be led on by the prisoners who have been liberated fi ow the gaols. For a distance of 12 miles below Mir zapore every boat was plundered last Tuesday, the 9th, and the river banks completely strewed with cotton, rice, lac dye, &c., which was being carried off by the villagers in the most open manner, in broad daylight, and on the most extensive scale: The steamers of the companies above mentioned *usually give these marauders a volley of bullets as they pass, and have coat ibuted not atlittle to check their depredations. Every village, where people are caught plundering, ought to be at once burnt. Gunboats would likewise be very us e f u l i n protee ing towns on the river banks, as ferries, in throw'ing in troops and supplies to forts, &c., and cut ting off the passage of Insurgents over the rivers. With two or three gunboats Mirzapore would b° quite safe ; as it is,. we expect every hour to hear of the sack of this city, one of the richest in India, and the destruction of all the Europeans' residences the owners having all fled for their lives during the past week. At Allahabad, too, the insurgents might have been shelled from the river with the utmost facility. Coals might be conveyed up froin Calcutta and depots formed at intervals, consisting of boats anchored off shore, and protected by a gull" boat or European troops or civilians. I trust th e Admiralty will at once send a few gunboats out.
