POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE FROM BOMBAY, BY

THE OTTAWA.

'Sun, March 25,

This telegram after describing the-cat-bOve successful
operations, says :
Franks' column had also • decisive action. It
marched, 29th of February, in advance of Budlapoore,
and encountered the enemy near Shandina. Brigadier
Franks prevented • junction between the two insurgent
corps—the first under Mshomet Dussein, and the second
under • disaffected Chuckle:lens ; the former had
21,000 men and 21 guns ; the latter 8,000 men and 8
guns. He out-manosuvred them, and beat them sepa-
rately, killing and wounding 2,800, and taking all their
Flllll.
The rebel corps of Mahomet Dussein had taken up •
strongly intrenched position on the north of Kadah•-
gunpr, eight miles from Mande. Brigadier Franks
outflanked them and forced them to retire with loss of
eight guns. Three miles further be hided, when the
second corps of rebels attacked them and he was again
victorious, and all obstacles, on his Marsh to Daaknow
' were removed. At the same time Brigedter Hope
Grant marched from Cones to Futtehpore Chowrassie,
the old haunt of Nana Sahib, and blew it up, took four
guns and killed 1,800 men, with casualties amounting to
17 or 18. There was • rumour at Cawnpore that Nana
Sahib had crossed the Ganges into the Dosb, but the
rumour was unfounded. _

The cavalry regimento resumed their march and
General Whitelook, proceeded towards Thane.
Sir B. Rose had not been able to move from Bangor in
consequence of failure of providing provisions and trans-
port ; but Orr's column had advanoed pact Bentka, 20
miles north-cut of Bangor, on the road from Shuhur
to Petoria, haring had some skirmishes with rebels.
Brigadier Stewart was at Bhauri, near Goons. The
fort of Rhotos had been taken and occupied.
Chamberlain's force under Brigadier Penny crossed
the Ganges to Rohilound, on the 17th, and encountered
the rebels on the 24th.

Major Coke goes with • force of Punjab regimente to
watch the upper part of the Doab.

Dates from Nusserhabad of the 27th of February.
General Robert's Brigade in a state of march with •
strong body of infantry, the Bth Hussars, 200 Scinde
horse, 800 regular cavalry, two troops of Horse Artil-
lery field batteries, besides 18 siege guns, the General
only waiting the arrival of the 72nd Highlanders, due at
Nusserhabad on the Bth of March, to start for Kotah,
where the enemy muster 8,000 men, with 100 gone; 20
only, probably, are of use in the field.
The Mokdurard Pees, in the hands of the rebels, may
have tube forced. In Candeish nothing new. In the
South Mahratta country the old rebellion of the Haircut
Marie Chief has been renewed, and an attempt to pursue
the main body from Belgaum was defeated by the thick-
ness of the jungles in which the enemy had taken refuge.
The 92nd Highlanders have arrived at Bombay.
This telegram arrived at Melts from Alexandria by
the steam packet Tamar at 3.15 p.m. on March 28.
