temained, however, misted desperately. Nearly all
were slaughtered by the 11) ing brigade w bile escaping
wards Agra. A sad number must have bit the duet on the
Rived ; but was impossible to find this out, as they took the
precaution for the first time of envying off their deed and
wounded from the battle field on stretchers or dhoolies.

infantry all got into the Residency out of the sun, and
one of the 7lst pipers commenced • Strathspey on his
bagpipe, whoa ell who could kick a leg at all stepped
out to it. The general and all the officers were in
high glee at this. Sugar mid salt were strewed
about in abundance, and the resemblance between them eau I
SO great that many got sucked in with the latter. Our com-
missariat suffered much from captures by the enemy, at a
time, too, when we could ill spate it. Thirty-eight cm*
with tea, sugar, smack, and medical comforts, were taken
from the Tod Brigade. Poor Conductor Rometme, who was
in charge, died about the very time this happased from sheer
exhaustion. The day we were marching to take up poition

eight gams and two eleplamitte on the 22ed and 23rd ; we also
fired a royal salute yesterday, the Queen's birth-day.

Sir Hugh Rose deserves the highest praise, as it
seems to me, for the manner in which he has per-
formed his duty. With 5,000 men he has overrun a
country filled with enemies, covered with numerous
forts, difficult of amen by its defiles, and fatal to
troops, because no resources were available in it.
If it be urged that he delayed, it may be said that
to him these delays are not attributable. At Bangor
he bad to halt for provisions and carriage. At
Jhansi he was detained by the Fatah rebels getting
into his rear, and threatening his communications.
The only force which slipped through his fingers
was that of the Rajahs of Banpore and Shahghur,
which escaped across the Betwa from Major
Orr. They and the Boondelas, who come out of
their jungles when our troops disappear, retook
Chandairee, Esaogur, and Malthoon ; but Chandairee
has been retaken by Brigadier Smith's brigade, and
Faangur will have the same fate. The 2nd Brigade
will go from Calpee to Owalior, where barracks
have been erected for 2,000 men.

The presence of Colonel Maxwell, as you have
seen, cootributed not a little to the easy capture of
Ca'pee ; but Colonel Riddelfs corps from Rtaws also
did good in keeping the banks of the Jamas down-
wards from Sawa in the Doab. Colonel Riddell
has had two or three brilliant little engagements
with the enemy, which it would take too much
space here to record, but of which you will find
details in the overland journals. The two columns,
however, were insufficient to prevent 3,000 or 4,000
men from getting over the Jamul' into the Doab,
and thence into Oude, through the Mynpooree dis-
tricts, whilst another gang, 1,000 or 2,000 strong
got away lower down, and armed the Ganges,
between Cawnpore sad Fattehpere.
Oude itself ►warms with rebels, against whom Sir
Hope Grant has been sent on two expeditions with-
out doing much good. On the first occasion, when
near Roy Bareillx he came upon the fort of
Simree, which be found so strong that he was
obliged to retire, blowing up his ammunition. On
the second occasion, by a rapid march to Bannee, he
prevented the concentration of the enemy on that
point. Of Oude it may be said with perfect truth,
that we bold nothing more than the capital and the
road from Lucknow to Cewnpore. Mann Singh holds
Fyxabad. The Ghoorkas have gone home, and
Ghorruckpore and Baste° are held by Colonel Row-
croft, who has been forced to move from his en-
trenched camp at Betwa on the Gogra. He also has
had two or three brilliant encounters with the rebels,
who are very numerous.

Rohileand is quite clear of rebels. Shabjehanpore
was relieved early in May by Jones, who had to
repel an attack made upon him on the 15th by the
rebel cavalry. On the 16th Sir Colin Campbell, who
had marched from Bareilly, after leaving Walpole
with three regiments there, heard at Tilhur that the
enemy were in force at Mohumdie and on the eastern
aide of Shabjehanpore. He accordingly marched
down on the 18th to that place, and on the
19th bad a skirmish with the enemy. He was joined
on the 22nd by Coke's brigade, which had been out
pacifying the districts of Rohilcand about Pilibheet.
The rebels meanwhile stole round between
Shahjehaupore and Futtehghur and plundered Pales
Sandi and Munjaloo. Sir Colin, leaving Jones to ad-
vanes against Mohumdie, returned by way of Jellala-
bad with a division to Futtehghur, where he arrived
on the 26th. Jones in the interval advanced towards
Mohnrndee, which he took, and the enemy retired
towards Oude. Thus the focus of inennection is
now pretty well confined in Oude. The Ganges
having risen renders the passage of the river diffi-
cult; and now that the summer campaign is over
care will doubtless be taken to watch the ghauts and
prevent the enemy from leaving Oude.
Nana Sahib has gone off into the hills of Nepaul,
where Jung Bahadour, if he is still stanch, may
capture him. But it is supposed that the Naas
means to go off towards Thibet, and stay there.
In Behar, the Jugdeespore rebels remain un-
quelled : they took to the jungles after the capture
of Jugdeespore, and it is necessary to cut down the
jungles before they can be caught. This duty has
been undertaken, and in the meanwhile Sir Edward
Lugard remains in Shahabed.
This, in am brief Epees as I can recount it, is the
Mats of India at the close of the campaign of 1857-8.
Are the results such as you were led to expect, or
was it believed in England that more would be doom?

P.S.—I am happy to inform you that Nergoond,
In the Southern Mahratta country, was occupied
without assistanos on the 2nd inst. by Col. Malcolm,
commanding the Belgaum field force. The fugitive
thief of Nergoond with aix or seven of his principal
followers were captured without difficulty on the
evening of the 3rd by the rural police.
I had forgotten to tell you that the Rajah of
fiborapoor having been sentenced to transportation
for life at Secunderabad, committed suicide with a
revolver.

A telegram from Calpee states that sight goon

10,000 lbs. of English gunpowder, a quantity of
muskets, shot and shell, tents, tools, and *bat not,
