DELHI-AGRA-LUCKNOW,

ture had sailed.
Reports are rife of threatening disturbances at Hydera-
bad, and critical position of the mutineers, Bundeelahs (?).
The steamer Caledonian ordered from Calcutta to
Masulipatam, to land her troops there.
Havelock in the Residency of Lucknow with 1,500 men;
1,000 more, with sick and wounded, are at Alumbar, distant
three miles: communication between the two difficult.
The enemy said to be in great force, and very strong in
artillery. A convoy of provisions from Cawnpore had
arrived at Lucknow shortly after its relief, escorted by 250
men, who, it is said, got in unmolested, in consequence of
the sepoys being busily engaged intrenching themselves.
Reinforcements being sent up with all speed from Cal-
cutta. Detachments, amounting in all to 1,200 Europeans,
were to have left Cawnpore for Lucknow on the 16th of
October. The garrison at the latter place could easily force
their way out, but the general does not wish to expose the
women and children to further danger.
Nana Sahib is said to be near Bithoor again. Nothing
was known at Calcutta of his reported capture by the
Belooch Battalion. Maun Singh, heretofore our friend,
has turned against us since the storming of Delhi was
announced. Part of the 32nd [slst ?] Native Infantry
mutinied at Deese [Dacca?), and murdered two of their
officers; and the Maharajah of Oralius [Gwalior, or Oudey-
pore ?] is reported to have been murdered by his own
people.
Colonel Greathed's column, consisting of her Majesty's
9th Foot and 9th Lancers, two troops Horse Artillery, one
line 4th Field Battery, five 12-inch mortars, two companies
of Punjaub Sappers, 2nd and 4th Punjaub Infantry, 125
detachment of Punjaub Cavalry, and 200 Hodson's House,
about 3,000 in all, in pursuit of Delhi fugitives, fell in with
the enemy at Bolnndshuhur, and after two hours' fighting
routed them, with heavy loss of men, two guns, and
ammunition. Our loss was fifty killed and wounded.
Malaghur was afterwards taken and blown up. Fought
them again successfully at Allyghur, on the sth; 400 of
the enemy cut up, two guns taken.
The column reached Agra on the 14th. The enemy
made a sudden and unexpected attack on cantonments,
were repulsed, utterly dispersed, and pursuit continued up
to the Kharee. Great numbers killed. 1,000; all the guns,
43 ; plunder, camp equipage, and five lacs of treasure
capture], with small loss on our side.
Some Delhi fugitives in the neighbourhood of Bithoor
were attacked by Colonel Nelson, with a small force from
Cawnpore, on the 18th, and driven out of the place,
which was strong.
Cavalry much wanted everywhere, and transport animals.
Two large ships in tow of steamers had been sent to
Rangoon for elephants. A column under Brigadier
Showers, 1,200 men and four guns, had marched
[through ?] Bulubgurh in pursuit of rebels.
The fell of Delhi has a marked effect in Meerut and
contiguous districts.
Revenue has [been ?) brought in very rapidly, and
loyalty was the order of the day. Commander•in-chief
had ordered that a standing camp of 2,000 men be instantly
organised at Konugunge [Ranee Gunge ?].
