2. The coudition of Rohilcund has been, in some
nr
peculiar. The of the revolt In the interior hiesPetZ
lately suffered little check. The people, WI to themselves,
have in many quarters engaged actively is hostilities against
saoh other , but direct opposition to British authority has
been mainly confined to several Sadder towns, to the fron-
tier on the Demme, and to the expeditions against Nynee

S. Under these circametanors his lordship oormlders it just
to distinguish by a widely diflereat treatment, the simple
bearing of arms, or even acts of axial violence
oommitted at a perkd when the check of lawful
=ment was removed, from acts directly Involving
against the state, or a deliberate defiance of its
authority. Excepting Masser of mach aggravation,
It is not the wish of government that public woeecatlona
should be set on loot oa *courant of offences of the former

We (Bombay Telegraph dud Cou►ier) have the
following written by a non-oombatant with the

CornmalSijfiaters column, dated Camp, Bareilly,
May 8 :
The chid has taken Bareilly with the anal result, a smell
lois of men end the move of the rebels. Khan Bahadoor
Khan showed fight when he found himself deserted by the
Nana, who proved the truth of the old adage, discre-
tion is the better pert of velour." On the morning
of the 6th we fount the enemy posted about the bridge
over the "Nnktittea." A few minutes sufficed to silence
their guns, which were taken, and our force took
up positions commanding the entrance into canton-
s:mu. Our heavy pieces and 'hell" drove the
blackguards from one cover to another, until UHF
red in all direction'. Some ef the Glories came
en most pluckily, worthy of a better cause,
and met their deaths like men. General Walpole narrowly
escaped death. He was attacked by two men who hacked
away at his have !aiding a wound which nearly severed
threeingere of the General's right hand. They were
i bayoneted. Dr. and I mistook •
party
rt;o tle rebel sowers for our rem, and just escaped
capture, so yea me non-combitente get into clanger some-
times. Kr. Rana travels in a doolie in conattlasnoe of a
kick from a hone. When the baggage was attacked his
bearers dropped him on the road and ran. 11l as he was, he
managed to mount a hone, and tmfortunately got a sun
' stroke, which nearly proved fatal. He Is doing
well, bat requires great and constant attention. We were
all exposed the whole day, and had to bivouac, apprehensive
of a night attack. None was made, and we occupied the
cantonment next day. Jones, with the Roorkie column,
drove the enemy from the other side of the city, and com-
pleted the capture of Bareilly. Notwithstanding Sir
strict prohibition, looting is the order of the
day. A force left this morning to relieve Shajabeepere en-
sompeased by the Moulvie. The Nana is maid to be at
Moliandie, and Khan Bahadoor Khan somewhere in the
direction of Pebbheet. I there is no chance of Budaln
being occupied till after the rains—not because there are
enemies there, but because Sir Colin does not like weakening
his force.

to the pretty little elm& at this plies. They saved

ness eamp.
