THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 5, 1859.

Maassignenr Cccur, the bishop of Troyes, has is-
sued an eloquent mandate in favour of the war,
which hes been very much noticed. He says that
the Emperor Napoleon is fulfilling a divine mission,
and realisia' g the work of which Henry IV. and
Louis XIV. had only a vague presentiment.
The let division of infantry of the army of Lyons
his received the route for Italy. Numerous detach-
ments are going off every day from various parts of
France to fill up the vacancies made in the ranks
at Magenta and Solferino. The soldiers who are
not drafted for the war envy the lot of their com-
rades who are going. It is said that no lees than
twenty non-commiesioned officers of one battalion of

rifles volunteered to tear off their stripes, in order to
be admitted as privates in a new regiment of Zouares
destined for Italy.

INDIA.

We have received letters and papers from India,
the latest dates being Bombay, June 4, and Calcutta,
May 17.

The measures taken by Lord Clyde to allay the
discontent of the European forces of the late East
India Company, have resulted in the re-establish-
ment of order and discipline throughout the whole
body. The Court of Inquiry at Meerut still
holds its sittings, listening to the complaint of
every man who chooses to appear before it.
The artillerymen have generally expressed
their readiness to serve her Majesty the Queen,
their main objection resting solely on the fact
that they had been transferred without having been
consulted; and had their right to re-enlistment de-
nied them. The cavalry have taken up more decided
ground, and in most cases, claimed their discharge
as a right, the question of re-enlistment, in their
opinion, being entirely optional and a matter for
subsequent consideration. They state that they are
now simply " civilians in arms," and are entitled to
be sent home and conveyed to the places where they
were originally enlisted at the government expense,
the question of the acceptance of " bounty " being
an entirely optional affair with them, some declaring
their willingness to acoept the same, others insisting
upon their immediate discharge without any con-
sideration whatever.

Two companies of the 3rd Bengal European Regi-
ment (late Company's) have drawn up a petition to
parliament on their transfer to the service of the
crown. The petition is ably drafted.
The following government telegrams had bees
supplied to the Indian prem.:

Climbs, on the Oodh frontier.

After; night's mach, Sir H. Grout came upon Nana,
Bala Rao, and Rajah Dena Boo's forces, In tho Jorwah
Pus, early in the rot:Kuhn of the 2lst idem. The jungle
wee very think, which favoured all attempts of the rebels to
held the position, armed with two guns. As coon so the
heights were crowned they fled in great diearder up the pass
nod over the hills ; a number were killed, and their guns
end camp taken. The force pursued than up the pass and
ever the Mils. Li/attestant Torten', of the Days, A.D.C.,
Aridly wounded, and there as. went casualties in the 7th
henjaub Infantry, the only corps engaged.

"The Begun," says the Bombay Standard, 4. is
in glutton—perhaps not quite so comfortable ea she

would wish, but still much better than she deserves,
thanks to that preux chevalier Jung Bahadoor. The
lady is in a fort near Bootool with her own female
attendants, and those of the Nana. As for that
miscreant himself he has abort 5,000 followers, and
bouts of a very considerable quantity of cash, and
for the present bids defiance to his pursuers."

The Ex-Nawab of Furrackabid has selected
Mecca as his place of banishment. It is understood
he was given the option to decide within twenty-
four hours whether he would suffer death or retire
from British territory, where his appearance at any
time would render him liable to be hanged, and to
state where he would wish to go. He, like a faith-
ful servant of the prophet, mentioned Mama as his
intended place of residence. He expressed a wish
to see his wife and children, but was prevented from
seeing the former, permission to see his children
only being given.
The chief incident of local interest at Bombay is
of an unfortunate character; the cholera having
committed great havoc on the hill of Mahablesh-
war, at Wan, and Setters, passed on to Poona, and
had thence descended on several of the thickly-
populated native districts of Bombay.
The news from Europe had caused much excite-
ment relative to the sea defences of Bombay.
The governor had errrived in Bombay from Mahe-
bleshwur ; the commander-in-chief will descend only
as far as Poonah.

There had been little alteration in the general
state of trade daring the fortnight. Cotton had
declined • little daring the last two or three days,
owing to the recent advice. from Europe. Tho piece
goods market had undergone no change, the de.
mend being still inactive. The money market was
a little easier, bat not yet in a oondition favourable
to trade. Freig‘ts had declined Se. and 10a. per
ton during the previous week.
The commercial intelligence from Calcutta is to
the following effect :

The mosey market since our lent has been rather tight,
eanacqui.nt upon the large sums borrowed prior to the 30th
April, to pay Into the Treuury with the 4 pee rent paper.
This ceased a rim in the rate of Interest, and it Is expected
to continue until the arrival of more specie from Ragland.
The pressure upon the money market baa occasioned a fur-
ther fall to government more. The present quotations
me Four per Coot , 28 to 28i ; Five per Cant., 13 to 131 ;
and the New Five-snel-a- Half, 81 to 61 per cent. discount.
In exports a little better business has been done in sugar and
saltpetre, but at 'licitly rtduexl pikes. In rice little has
been done fur Europe, but there bee been a moderate trade in
helium forth. Mauritius, Bombay, and Guile. Raw silk,oursha,
leo-dye, and shellac are in limited isquily; oil seeds have
been in moderate operation. Jute in lim Red placation. &Mower

lo good &mewl and at an advaloed prioe. In the import
market, twist has bees inactive on aocount of a native festi-
val observed by lbe twist dealers. In grey cottons a fair
amount of business has been door, especially for goods to
arrive, but so improvement in prie". Bleached cottons have
been in very moderate ioquiry, sad for local requirement
esly. Chintzes in fair demand, and at improved prices. The
motel market has bees quiet.
