The fate of these double deserters is not stated.

Sir James Outram remained at Alumbagh with one
Royal battery, two Bengal field batteries, a heavy
Bengal battery, a company of Madras Sappers, the
military train, two squadrons of Dragoons, some
Irregular Cavalry, her Majesty's sth Fusiliers, 78th
Highlanders, 84th Foot, 00th Light Infantry, Madras
Fusiliers, and Ferozepore Regiment—in all some
4,000 men. A telegraph from Madras confirmed
his success achieved on the 22nd Dec. :

Outram attacked and dispersed the enemy near the
Alumbagh on the 2:tud of December, and captured four
guns, one elephant, and much ammunition. Our loss was
very trifling.

Further to the eastward, a strong brigade, under
Colonel Franks, has been organised at Benares, for
service on the eastern frontiers of Oude. The 20th
and 97th Foot, with a wing of the 10th, and a Royal
troop and battery, will form part of this force, with
Madras troops and Ghoorkas. While the 7th Hus-
sars are to be formed at Allahabad, where horses are
being collected for them. Jung Bahadoor wes ex-
pected to occupy Goruckpore with 10,000 Ghoorkas.
From the north-west we have intelligence up to
the 27th December.

A column had left Delhi in charge of the King,
who is to come down to Calcutta. Nothing had
transpired as to the treatment which will be meted
out to him. That he was an accomplice before the
act rests " upon the most unquestionable authority :"
in the month of May his agents, it is said, were
discovered tampering with the native troops at
Benares ; and abundant evidence is at hand to prove
that on the 10th of May he supplied the mutineers
at Delhi with scaling laddors and munitions of war.
" At Delhi," writes a correspondent, "the course of
justice no longer suffers any impediment, so far as
the minor agents in the rebellion are concerned :"

On the 22nd of December the Nawab of Jheyghnr was
hanged. At an early hour the Chandney Chowk, where the
gibbets are erected, was thronged with natives, principally
Hindoos, who appeared to take a lively interest in the
spectacle. A strong body of her Majesty's 60th Rifles,
preceded by their band, marched up about a quarter past
four, and drew across the road on all sides of the gibbets,
while the gallant Ghoorkas lined the right side. All the
buildings in the neighbourhood were crowded with Ruro•
peon spectators, some females appearing here and there.
About twenty minutes past fonr the cart containing the
prisoner appeared, drawn by bullocks, and guarded by a
party of Sikh cavilry. The Nawab, a tall, stout, good-
looking man, dressed in plain white clothes, with a figured
muslin turban, having been pinioned, mounted the plat-
form ; his eyes were covered with a cloth, and the hang-
man having descended, the drop fell, and the traitor was
launched into eternity. He struggled for some seconds,
and then all was over. The crowd was very orderly; not a
sound or sign escaped them during the ceremony, but very
few Mahomedans were present. On the morning of the
24th three rebels were hung, one of whom was the leader
of the attack at the Hindun and the plunderer of Goor-
gaou. His rank in the rebel army was " General." The
other two were "small fry."

The following message, announcing the reoccupa-
tion of Mynponrie by Colonel Seaton's column,
had been received at Bombay by telegraph via
Allyghur
Mynpoorie, Dec. 27, 3 p.m.
Found the enemy this morning posted behind some
high trees a mile west of the city. He opened with lour
guns as I advanced.
The Horse Artillery guns made a detour to the right,
supported by cavalry, the heavy guns and infantry follow-
ing. The enemy, finding himself cut off, soon began to
retreat.
Took all his guns and cut up 230. As yet none re-
ported killed on our side.
Colonel Seaton in all probability will now push on to-
wards Cawnpore,escorting thither such portions of his
convoy as have not been distributed amongst the
divisions of General Walpole and the commander-
in•chief.

The action at Puttialee, announced last week by
telegram, was fought by Colonel Seaton, with the
loss of only two men. Tho force followed the rebels
from Gungeree stop by step till eight o'clock on the
morning of the 17th, when they were discovered in
position west of the town, with at least seven guns
