THE CAPTURE OF LUOICNOW,
CAMP OT Ti MARTININIII, Moab 17,

Many thousands of the mutinous Repays, Nays the
Times' oorrespondent, mey have escaped as yet, and
many, too many, of those whose only crime was ern
-
pithy with the rtintineore and rebellion against our rule
may have fallen, but retribution will follow fast on the
footstep', of the former, fly how and where they may ;
and the terrible lesson given to the alders and abettors
of those who shed the bleed of our women and children
will be remembered In India for ever. May it advert
such scenes and snob bloodshed, and inaugurate a
happier and gentler rule I While I write, the gentle
strains of " Auld Robin Gray" from the band outside
the state canopy, beneath which the Cominander-in-
Chief, in state, Cs conferring on Sir Archdale Wilson of
Delhi the insignia of the Bath, are stealing through the
camp, mingled- with the distant rattle of musketry from
the fierce Cihoorkas in the city, and the echoes of the
ealutes from the guns which proclaim Sir Archdale's
honour confound themselves with those from cannon
engaged in sweeping the streets, in which are lurking
the remnants of the mutineers of 1857. The voice of
Delhi is beard in Luaknow. On the 10th the operations
commenced by the force capturing Banke's house and
the defences Adjoining it. On the 11th Outram slued
the iron bridge and swept the suburbs of the city, estab-
hailing himself strongly from the Badshahbagh to that
point, and in the evening of the same day the High.
lenders and Sikhs carried the intrenched poeition around
the Begum's Palace. The 12th and 13th were devoted
to the bombardment of the Imaumbarrah and Kaiser.
bagh. The former of these works was attacked on the
14th. and not only did it fall after a weak resistance, but
the Kaiserbagh, which had been reserved for another
day's fire and assault. This great result, attained at
small lose, was mainly due to the impression made on
the enemy by the vigour of our assault on the Begium's
Palace by Outram's flank movement, which took their
works in reverse, by our bombardment and by the pro-
gress of our sap, which brought our men clout up to the
Imaumbarrah without less. On the evening of the 14th
as we had turned both lines of the enemy's works, and
were in "solid occupation" of the Kaiserbagli, the key
of their position, it was considered we were virtually the
masters of Luoknow ; but the enemy, though thousands
were flying, still occupied the Mess-house, the Mahal
Kohtee, the Residency, the large Imaumbarrah, and
several points along the right bank of the river. On the
15th our guns played on these points all day, and two
flying columns were sent out to out up the fugitives,
while the Ohoorkas were co-operating with us by an ad-
vance—continuous, but slow—every clay along the line
of the canal between our left and the Jellalabad road.
On the 16th the Douglas Brigade, under Sir James Out-
ram, crossed the river by abridge of boats. The enemy
had evacuated the Mohtee Mahal and the Mess-house,
on the previous day. Sir James advanced without
opposition to the Residency, whence his troops pushed
onwards to the iron bridge under a feeble fire, and by the
close of the day they occupied the river up to the stone
bridge, the large Intatunharrah, and all the adjoining
buildings. The enemy fled in all directions, utterly
broken and disconifitted. This morning Outrain pushed
on to the Goy or Cow Ghent, which completes our pos-
session of the river all the fingth.Orthe city. There are
still many thousands of people concealed in the hone.%
and at the very moment of our attack on the bridges a
very large force showed itself in front of the Altunbagh
as if to make an attack, but they were driven back with
loss by the gun. of the place,
