INDIA.

The telegram received from the Malta corm
spondent of the Times, which appeared in that
journal on Monday last, has been confirmed by the
telegram received at the East India house on Wed -
nesday. The principal points of importance are the
following :
NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCES, BENARES
DIVISION.
A band of plunderers, in the Jou3pore district, have
been surprised by Rajah Mohesh Narem, and their leader,
Phullee Singh, for whose capture a considerable reward had
been offered, was killed, with some others. Ghazeepore
is again threatened by timer Singles party, who have been
driven out of the Jugdespore jungle by Sir E. Lugard.
They have burnt several if the railway bungalows in the
Ghazeepore district, on the right bank of the Ganges,
and they are now said t be at Ghummur, in the Arrsh
district, where they are collecting boats for the purpose of
crossing the Ganged and attacking Ghazeepore. On the
7th the Taliseel of Maliomedabad, twelve miles east of
Ghazeepore, was attacked and plundered. Colonel Cum-
berlege, with her Mejesty's 37th and part of the 4th Madras
Cavalry, is protecting Ghazeepore, and Sir E. Lugard
it
moving up in the rear of the rebels.

GORUCKPORE.
At the end of May the rebel Mahomed Hosein, with
4,000 men, suddenly moved against the loyal Rajah of
Bansee, who was obliged to fly to a stronghold in the
neighbouring jungle, while his palace, with the town and
Tahssel of Bansee, was plundered by the rebels. Mr .
Wingfield, the Commissioner, immediately advanced with
250 Europeans and guns to the relief of the Rajah, who
was besieged in his stronghold, and the enemy tied pre-
cipitately on hearing of the approach of our troops. Mr.
Wingfield has now proceeded along with the Rajah to
attack some rebel villages, while a simultaneous advance
is being made on Amood by Colonel Roweroft. These
demonstrations will, it is hoped, keep the rebels in check
till the rains set in, and the river Gogra rises. It is said
that the rebel force at Bulliah, which consists chiefly of
mutineer sepoys from Nusseerabad (?), has recrossed the
Gogra, and united itself with 801114 regiments sent by the
Begum in order to attack Rajah Mauu Sing, who is in his
fort at Shalagunge.

ALLAHABAD DIVISION.
The rebel garrison of Hurneerpore have escaped across
the Doab into Oude, passing through the western portion
of the Futtehpore district. They numbered some 5,000
men, with four guns, and were pursued unsuccessfully by
Colonel Middleton's column, and a force under Brigadier
Carthew.
In the town and fort of Calpee, after their capture,
four gun foundaries were discovered ; and in the fort a
subterraneons magazine was found, containing 10,000Ib.

case-shot, and all sorts of ordnance stores ; fifteen guns
were also captured in the fort. On the 3rd of Jane a
small band of rebels with two guns attacked Beat, in the
Humeerpore district, but were defeated, with the loss of
their two guns, by a force sent by the Chirkaree Rajah.
Their lewder, Martun RJa Lathe, was also killed, with
twenty-five of his men.
BANDA.
General Whitelock, having been joined by Brigadier
Macduff, marched against Tirohan, the stronghold of
Narain Row, who had a force of some 10,000 men. On
tile approach of General Whitelock the rebel troops melted
away, and Narain Row surrendered himself. Thirty-eight
new brass guns, 800 stand of muskets, a crore of rupees in
cash, and much valuable property were found in his fort.
His excellency the commander-in-chief arrived at Allah-
abed yesterday. A body of the fugitives from Calpee,
some 4,000 strong, crossed the Janina, by the Beeulpore

692

Ghaut, into the Etawah district. On the 9,5 th of May they
proceeded through the Mynpooree district, towards Ally-
gunge, in the Fnttehghur district, plundering several
towns en route. They were, however, repulsed from the
Tahseel of Kainigunge, and then proceeded, via Kumpil,
to the Ganges, which they crossed on the 29th of May.
The whole of the Meerut Division remains perfectly
tranquil.
ROHILCUND DIVISION.
Bijnour and Moorailabad quite tranquil, the former
partially disarmed, the latter district still in charge of the
Nawab of Rampore. The troops of this chief have defeated
the rebels at Islamighur, and taken three out of their five
gnns. Flaredly is also quiet, with the exception of the
Pergunnah of l)owkashshee, which is still somewhat
disturbed. All is quiet in the Kumaon division.
