GOVERNMENT I)ESPATCEI.

The following telegram was received at the Foreign-
office (through the Commissioners for the Affairs of
India) on the 27th October, at 10.30 a.m. :
Dalin was assaulted on the morning of September the
1-Ith, find the northern part of the city taken. On the
10th the magazine was stormed ; and on the 20th the whole
city was occupied. The King and hie sons escaped
disguised as women. The attack on the 11th was made
with four columns, one of which, composed of the Cash-
mere Contingent, was repulsed—the other columns were
successful. An entrance was first effected at the Cash-
mere Gate. An advance was then made along the ram-
parts to the main bastion and Cabal Gate. The resistance
was very obstinate, and our loss was computed at 000
killed and wounded, including fifty officers.
CANNPORE AND LUCKNOW.—The garrison and Lucknow
still hold out; and General Havelock had recrossed the
Ganges on September 10, expecting almost immediately
to be joined by General Outram's force. A detachment of
the latter force under Major Vincent Eyre had, on the 11th
September, with the greatest gallantry, defeated a party
of the enemy, which had crossed from the Gude side of the
Ganges, for the purpose of harassing the advance of
General Outram. _

All continues quiet in the Ptinjaub.
AORA.—The Hon. J. R. Colvin, Lieutenant-Governor of
the North• Western Provinces, died at Agra on the 9th of
September.
SAUDOR AND NERTIUDDA. TERRITORIES.—The 52nd
Bengal Native Infantry (mutinied?) on September 18,
and deserted in a body, doing no injury to their officers.
The Banda insurgents have seized Nagode, and have
been joined by the 50th Betio' Native Infantry.
RAJPOOTANA.—The mutineers of the Joulpore Legion
defeated the Rajah of Joudpore's troops, killing the general
and taking three guns, on the 9th of September; they then
joined the rebellious Thakoor of Arrah.
General Lawrence proceeded, or. the 18th September,
with a detachment from Bewar, and attacked the rebels.
He compelled them to take refuge in the town of Gya, but
found the place too strong for an assault to be risked,and
accordingly fell back on Bewar.
Captain Houck Mason, the political agent in Jondpore,
was killed in endeavouring to join General Lawrence's
force.
The Bombay Government has sent up her Majesty's
89th Regiment, and other European troops, to the Nor-
thern Division, to enable General Roberts to reinforce
General Lawrence.
INDORE AND GWALIOI2.—MaIWa is Still in a disturbed
state, but nothing worthy of note has occurred. In Gwa-
lior, Scindia is stated to be raising a force of 15,000 men,
for the purpose of intercepting the fugitives from Delhi.
A portion of the Mhow and Indore rebels are reported to
have crossed the Chumbul.
SCINDE.—The company of native artillery at Hydrabad,
having been suspected of disaffection, was disarmed on the
9th Sept., and the guns secured.
The 21st Native Infantry at Kurrachee was disarmed
on the 13th September, information having been given by
two native officers of an intended outbreak. Conspiracy
is believed to have been confined to a few men. Twenty-
five deserted, but have been almost all taken and executed.
At Shikarpoor, on the 21st September, a aubadar and a
havildar of the 111th Native Infantry were arrested on sus-
piciod of plotting a rising in that regiment. On the night
of the 23rd September, eleven men of the Native Company
of Artillery seized the guns ; they were not joined by
others, and the guns were retaken by a company of the 16th
Native Infantry, the rest of the Artillery Company, and the
police ; four of the mutineers were killed, and the rest got

away in the dark.
The Bombay Government has sent a wing of the 4th
Foot, just arrived from the Mauritius, to Kurrachee. The
Commissioner in Scinde had previously sent detachments
of his very small European garrison from Kurrachee to
Hydrabad and Shikarpoor. Khelat is in a very disturbed
state. All is quiet throughout the Bombay Presidency and
dominions. All is quiet in the Nizam's country. In conse•
quenee of the mutinies at Jubbulpore the Commissioner in
Nagpoor has applied to the Resident at Hyderabad for
some squadrons of the 16th Lancers; the Resident has
complied with the requisition, and has been reinforced by
some squadrons of the 3rd Madras Cavalry from Sholapore.
MAinies.—All is quiet just now in the Madras Presi-
dency.

The fall of Delhi is at length announced. The
city was assaulted by General Wilson on the 14th
of September, a lodgment was effected within the
walls, and, after six days' desperate fighting, it is
believed that complete possession of the city was
obtained by our troops.
