arrived at Suez, from Alexandria, on the 22nd inst. She
left Calcutta on the 19th of July, and the delay has been
caused by an accident to her machinery while in the Red

Bombay, with dates from Bombay to the 4th inst.; nothing
of importance has occurred since the last mail. The British
troops are chiefly engaged in harassing the rebels in Oude,
wherever they can find them, and in reducing their mud
fortifications.
Many of the chiefs, who have not irredeemably compro-
mised themselves in the revolt, are surrendering to the
authorities ; others who have been faithful to the British
flag are being honoured and rewarded. Rebels proved to
have been deeply implicated are being executed.
