LA.TEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE BOMBAY MAIL.

THE WAR ON THE NORTH-WEW

FRONTIER.

We learn from Bombay journals of the 29th ult.,
which have come to hand this morning, that the
war on the north-west frontier has been at least
suspended for this season. There was no fighting be-
tween our forces and the hill tribes between Novem-
ber 20 and Deoember 15. About December 10 the
chiefs, or jirgab, of the Booneyers, intimated to
Major James, the commissioner, that they
wished to oome to terms. Having been brought
into camp, and closeted with the commis-
sioner, they professed their readiness to enter into
engagements not to interrupt our force in its
passage to Mulka, the stronghold of the Hindoo-
stanee fanatics on Mahabun. On their return to
their own camp, they came again under the in-
fluence of the Akhoond of Swat, and failed to
make good their engagements ; for they collected
in large numbers in front of our force, and made
threatening manifestations. On the morning of
the Jstb, a force from Umbeylah attacked
Lalloo, about five miles from the camp, where the
enemy had congregated, and drove them from
all their positions in gallant style. The enemy lost
300 men killed. The following morning a portion
of our force descended, and took possession of the
village of Umbeylab, in the Choomla valley, with-
out opposition. Later in the same day, the 23rd
and 32nd N.L , engaged in a band-to-hand fight with
the enemy, and killed 200 more of them, chiefly
Hindoostanees. Our loss was 50 men killed and
wounded, including Lieut. Alexander, 23rd,
killed ; Lieutenant Wheeler, 32nd, and Lieut.
Nott, 23rd, severely wounded ; Lieut. Cham-
berlain, 23rd, and Lieut. Marsh, 32nd, slightly
wounded. The enemy, thus decimated, fled.
Immediately after this defeat, on the 17th,
the Booneyer people surrendered unconditionally,
and gave in their chiefs, or jirgab, as hostages
in our camp, under an engagement to aid us with
2,000 men in expelling the Hindoostanees. Col.
Reynell Taylor was then despatched with a vigor-
ous force against Mulka, the stronghold of the
Hindoortanee fanatics on Mahabun, and com-
pletely destroyed it. He had returned to camp by
the 24th.

Thus was sworn Wished (says the Bombay Time) the
special object of the expedition ; and jot in time, for the
winter has est in with great force. The whole Site=
Medd Force is returning to the plains. Hostilities ere at
ea rad, at heat for the season. Is the Akbooad of Swat to
go unpadded ? Be has been the chief instigator of the
hill tribes in this insurrection. If we enter his
county, however, to punish him, it is believed that
we shall certainly get embroiled with Cabool.
An officer of the commander-in.chiers staff writes
that authentic intelligence bas been received to the effect
that all Affghaalstan ham sympathised with the tribes that
am arrayed splash us, and that we might expect to see the
latter joined by hordes of Affgbaas, sad probably Beratem

He is bested, too, by treaty. The treaty of March, 1855,
betimes the Fist India Company and Doi Mahound is to
the following purport :
"Article 1. Between the East India Company aed Dort
Mohamed sad his hein. there shall be perpetual friesethip.
" Ankle 1. The Fart India Company engages to respect
those tertiaries of the Amor sow (then) in his poems-
lion, end ne►er to interfere therein.

" Article & The Armor similarly binds himself to rasped
British territory, not to interfere therein, and to be the
friend of the friends, and enemy of the enemies, of the
L Consiony."
It is eatbdartary to *snow that it.,. is now an enormous
British force, either active, or in observation, in and near
the Fanjet& The force under General Gam& alone
amounts to nearly 10,000 men of all arms, of which
five regiment's and the artillery are Europeans.
Sir Hugh Rale hes, after several false dada
got GE finally for the art al war. He is
to have the entire direction of affairs there ;
and will have nadir hie immediate oommaad a larger force
than he haa even before commanded in person in the field.
There is, therefore, no ground of apprehension as reprds
the N.W. frostier; and ever• where else, from the Hima-
layas to Cape Oomorin, there is peace, and an Industrious
pursuit of the arta of piece. From every quarter we eon-
, limos to reedy* favourable accounts of the Mar of the

THE LATEST RUMOURS ON THE SLESWIG
QUESTION.

The most important of the statements which we
find to-day in the continental press is one in the
Indepettdatsce Beige, to the effect that at Copenhagen
it is universally believed that Austria and Prussia
have agreed by a secret treaty not to desist from
the occupation of Sleswig until they have
obtained the incorporation of the southern
parts of that duchy with Holstein under
a. personal union with Denmark, the erec-
tion of Rendsburg as a federal fortress, and a
very considerable reimbursement of the late oc-
cupation. It is Austria, it seems, to which the
last condition is owing. The 'napery:knee says
"If the existence of these arrangements is con-
firmed, we can understand on the one hand how
Denmark prefers resistance to the last extremity to
accepting occupation presented as a means of
preserving the integrity of the monarchy, and
on the other, how England puts in ac-
tion all the resources of diplomacy to
prevent a conflict" The ind4pesidance supposes
that the sudden cessation of the jealousies which
were manifested by the second states against the
passage of the Auato-Prusaian troops across their
territories is due to the communication to them
of this secret engagement.
The Paris Press of to-day says that a letter has
been addressed by the Duke of Saxe-Coburg to a
high personage at Vienna, in which the duke does
not conceal that the attitude of the two Ger-
man powers may compel the minor powers sad
the majority of the princes to rely upon France.
The Vienna Pre.see declares that the Prussian go-
vernment are strongly desirous of war, M. Biz-
mark requiring a victory abroad in order to disarm
his adversaries at home.
