LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 2.
Tun news from India by this mail is very different
from the last. Then we bend of the British com-
mander leading his army blindly amidst the ably-
arranged positions of the Sikhs, and suffering almost
defeat at their handy. Now we find the Sikhs
frustrated first in their mar.ceuvres, and then beatsn
in action.

Previously driven to the barren regions of the
Ponjaub, Sum Sixon's object seer's to have been
to march into the more fertile premium, arouse the
population, counteract the effect of the fall of Moultsn,
and menace Lahore. For this purpose he quitted his
post at Ruseool on the Jhelum, and by a stde march
secitp'ng Lord Gouou, the Sikh Birder marched in •
north-easterly direction towards the Chenaub.
This, however, he was prevented from pasting
by the division of General Wni=n opportunely coming
up, occupying Itsmonggur and sweeping both sides
of the river. The Sikhs in consequence fell back, and
took post in the neighbourhood of Gojerat. Here
they were attacked, on the 20th, by Lord Gonna, and
no doabt by some of the reinforcements that accom-
panied GeneralWrnsu, and it appears were completely
beaten. Had the defeat been a rout, the Sikhs must
have taken refuge in GIIOOLAII Suet's mountain
territory. Bat u they carried off their guns, it
is probable that they have fled across the Jhelum, to
rally in the vicinity of Attack. This quite relieves
Lahore, as well as the Eastern and Southern Ponjaub
from disquietude, and confines the war to the north-
western portion on both sides of the Indus. Here,
unfortunately, the British have not only the follower
of Cnorrun Strum to reduce, but our old friends, the
Afghans, to expel from the town, fort, and territory
of Peshawar.

THE worst constoquencal of the dereat and over-
throw of the King of SARDINIA will not be felt in his
dominions. however exhausted by military contribu-
tions and ruled with temporary rigour, Piedmont is
too near to France to admit the return of utter abso-
lutism. It is in central and in northern Italy that
the victory of Roux& will have untoward
effect& It will encourage the King of NAPLES
to put down the representative system altogether,
end must obstruct the hopes of the princes of Rome
and Tuscany coming to an amicable and rational un-
derstanding with the people. Nothing will now con-
tent the conclave of Meta but the unconditional
submission of the Romans and Tuscans; and both will
have to return under the domination, not of a mod.-
rate or a constitutional, but of a vindictive and reac-
tionary psrty.
Betting aside the consideration of all the tyranny
and suffering, the stifling of every human sentiment
and hope, which such a complete counttr-revolution
