The most cheering intelligence that has reached
Bombay for some it is our good fortune to be Ole
to forward by this mail.

The commander-in-chief having received the
whole of the convoy and siege trains from Agra, on
the 23rd February, and subsequently learnt that
Stewart's, Orr's, Whitelock's columns were well on
their march towards Jhanai, broke up on the 2nd of
March from Cawnpore, and proceeded to Alumbagh.
Having amassed his troops together in advance, he
despatched Sir James Outram across the Goontee on
the 6th, and took up a position himself at Bilk-
hoosha (Dilkoosba.) Sir J. Outram crossed with
6,000 men and 30 guns, and was attacked on the
other side by the rebels. The enemy, however, were
repulsed by Sir Colin Campbell from Chanda.
The brigade of Jung Bahadoor was completed at
Nubtanpore on the 2nd of March, and the Goorkhas
were to advance across the Goora.

Before the arrival of Bir Colin, General Oatram
had to repulse a great attack made by the rebels on
his positions at Alumbagh and Jellalabad. This
attack took place on the 21st, when the rebels came
on in great force, flanking two sides of oar positions,
and having &heavy column in the centre. Sir James
Outran had received intelligence of the attack by
spies, and was prepared for it. He moved out on
the approach of the enemy, cut off both their flanks,
took 2 guns, and forced them to retreat. His loss
altogether trilling, via., 21 wounded.

A second attack of the same kind was made on
the 25th, when they were repulsed, with loss of
3 guns.
Franks' column had also a decisive action. It
marched 29th February, in advance of Budlapoore,
and encountered the enemy near Shandina. Bri-
gadier Franks prevented a junction between the
two insurgent corps, the first under Mahomet
Bassein, and the second under • disaffected
Chnckladera ; the former had 21,000 men and 21
guns ; the latter 8,000 men and 8 guns. He
ontmanteuvred them, and beat them separately,
killing and wounding 2,800, and taking all their
guns.

The rebel corps' of Mehemet Dussein bad taken
up a strongly entrenched position on the north of
adshagunger, eight miles from Shand*. Brigadier
Franks outflanked them and forced them to retire
with loss of eight guns. Three miles further he
halted, when the second corps of rebels attacked
them, and he was again victorious, and all obstacles
on his march to Lucknow were removed. At the
same time Brigadier Hope Grant marched from
Oonas to Futtehpore Chowrassie, the old haunt of
Nena Sahib, and blew it up, took four guns, and
killed 1,800 men, with casualties amounting to 17
or 18. There was a rumour at Cawupore that
Nena Sahib had crossed the Ganges into the Bosb,
but the rumour was unfounded.

The cavalry regiment, resumed their march, and
GeneralWhitslock promeded towards Jhausi.

Sir H. Rose had not been able to move from
Bangor in consequence of failure of providing provi-
sions and transport ; but Orr's column had advanced
past Bentka, 20 miles north4eat of Bangor, on the
road from Bhaghnr to Petoria, having had some
skirmishes with rebels. Brigadier Stewart was at
