his position, notwithstanding repeated attacks by the
enemy. On the 23nd Dec. he attacked the enemy, about
,e,tl(X► strong, who had taken up a formidable position on
his right flank, and completely routed them, killing 250,
and capturing four guns. On the I•2th January General

Some additional intelligence is given in the letters
re•eived yesterday by the Indian mail. We make
some extracts :

Boxnav, Jan. '23.
A letter received by Lord Elphinstone, dated from the
camp of the commander-in-chief at Meerunki-Serai, in the
Doab, on the 2ttth of December, and communicated to
the local papers, contains this phrase—" The neck of the '
business all over the conntry is broken." The intelligence
which this mail conveys to ycn is condensed in these few
words. Now that the overwhelming superiority of the
British forces to those of the mutineers has been estab-
lished by the series of brilliant exploits that ended with
the rout of the numerous and well-appointed and half-
victorious Gwal•or Contingent, a desultory and compara-
tively feeble opposition is all that is likely to be encountered
in our progress towards the complete pacification of the
country. The noel), which for so many months was
abandoned to rebel chiefs and lawless soldiery, has been
swept clear of the enemy. Bithoor, Etawah, Mynpoorie,
Fitttyghur, Furruckabad—all in our hands. Their petty
rulers and landholders, if still at large, are at least fugitives
in Rohileunti or Ondt, and their lands have passed from
them tor ever. The mutineers under Bahadoor Khan, at
Bareilly, have next to be attacked : and here some resis-
tance may be met with but neither from them nor from
the hordes whom Sir James Outram is holding in check
at Alumbsgh, and whose destruction will be the latest
event of the insurrection, do we look to receive anything
more than a momentary obstruction to the re-establishment
of the benign anti just rule of England.
The district around Cawnpore is settling down, and is
about to be traversed by a moveable column front that
station. The command of the Benares division has, I
believe, been offered to Sir Archdale Wilson.
The trial of the es-King of Delhi bad been fixed for the
9th, but the prisoner being indisposed it was postponed
till the 13111, and by this time has, no doubt, been brought
to a termination.
