AGRA DIVISION.

There is nothing of importance to communicate
from this division. All is quiet, except at Etawall
and Etah, and there the rebels have been defeated
in several small skirmish's, losing two of their
leaders, and have become less troublesome.

MEERUT DIVISION.
This division remains perfectly tranquil.
RORILCUND DIVISION.

The Bignour district is said to be perfectly tran-
quil, and our authority bas been thoroughly re-es-
tablished in it. As reported in the lest message, the
city of Moradabed was re-occupied on the 26th tilt.
by the Roorkee column, which has since reached
Bueilly, as will be farther noticed below. Confi-
dence has been restored throughout the district of
Moradahad, and the inhabitants of the city, who had
fled, are returning in great numbers.

BUDAON DISTRICT.

The force under Brigadier Penny, after crossing

the Ganges, marched on IC okra's, ten miles from
Budaon. The general and his staff were in advance,
and came upon a body of horse, which they at first
took to be a portion of the baggage guard, which
had marched by a more direct route on the flank
of the column. The general rode towards it, and
when at thirty yards distance four guns opened
with grape on the party. General Penny shortly
after was missed, and the command devolved on
Colonel Jones, her Majesty's Bth Carabineers. Our
troops quietly came up, and the action ended in the
total defeat of the enemy, one gun and two limbers
being captured. It is not known when General
Penny was wounded, but his body was recovered
after the action close to }bands. It appeared that
his bridle arm had been broken by a musket ball.
and his horse had then taken fright, and carried
him close to the town, where the rebels rushed upon
him and cut him up with their swords. The troops

which had compoaed Brigadiw Ponny'a oolaau)

marched, after the action at Kukrala, across Rohil-
mind to their own risk (?), and joined the force of
the Commander-in-Chief on the 3rd instant.

Shahjehanpoor was occupied without opposi-
tion on the lit of May by the Com-
mander-in-Chief, who had joined Walpole's
column. The next day his Excellency, leaving a
small garrison at Shahjehanpoor, marched on Ba-
reilly. On the 3rd of May, a large body of rebels,
headed by the fanatic moulvie of Lucknow, came
down from Mohundie, in Onde, cut up a picket of
Dekantzowh's horse, plundered the city, massacreing
many of the inhabitant., and compelled the gar-
rison to take shelter in the entrenchment round the
wall. Our troops are believed to have a supply of
provisions, and will, in all probability, hold their
own against the rebels, who are closely blockading
them, until relief is afforded. Brigadier-General Jones,
by order of the Commander-in-Chief, marched with a
strong force towards Bhahjehanpoor on the Bth mat.
Re is expected to arrive there to-day. BareWy was
attacked on the 6th by the columns under the Com-
mander-in-Chief and Brigadier-General Jones. The
rebels were driven into the city, with lose of
several guns. The city was entirely occupied by
our forces on the 7th inst.

Sir Hugh Rose hu defeated the rebels at Koonch,
killing 400 or 500 men. The remnant of the enemy
will, it is said, make a stand near Calpee. At the

sive that Jhansi and his rear might be threatened,
General Roberts has despatched a field brigade, con-
sisting of one regiment Europeans, one regiment
native infantry, one wing Bth Hussars, and squadron
let Lancers, and one troop horse artillery, which will
operate towards Gochnah. General Roberts, with

mained there.
