ing the Junin& at Calpee, taking all their guns except
one light field-piece.

liar Contingent entered the civil station of Cawnpore,
and burnt down the--------- of three of our regi-

attacked and totally routed them, capturing 15 guns,
and all their stores and ammunition, without himself
losing a man.

large body of rebels, Colonel Longden fell back on Jaun-
pore. He was immediately reinforced by European
troops. This had a great effect; and up to the Bth of
December all was quiet on the frontier. Colonel
Franks has been appointed to command the troops
there.

here rebels, capturing the forte of Kunchynpore and
Zorah.

Mehidpore was attacked by rebels on the Bth of No-
vember. The Contingent believed badly, and their offi-
cers were forced to escape. The rebels captured all the
guns and plundered the cantonment. They were, how-
ever, pursued by &portion of the Hyderabad Contingent
Cavalry, under Major Orr, and on the 12th of Novem-
ber were cut up after an obstinate fight, leaving • hun-
dred dead on the field. All the guns and plunder were
retaken.

vanced on Mondesore on the 23rd of November. The
rebels were attacked and defeated with heavy lose.

was threatened by these men, has thus been relieved,
and the remnant of the insurgents, who still hold the
fort of Mundesore, are much dispirited. Killed—
