rebel. at PhiHaar. When Mr. Hay Wt Allshabed, the '
English troops belie Delhi were scarcely able to hold
their own; although siways beating the mutineers in every
attack they had slightly receded from their original position.
It takes nearly fifty days for troops to get to Delhi from
Calcutta Mr. Hay was seventeen days getting to the latter
place from Allabedad. He got down to Calcutta in a
steam-boat. While he wan on the voyage Sir Norman
Leslie and other officers were measured near Dinaporo by
savoys belonging to the very rerments, the mutiny of which
wen announced yesterday by electric telegraph. The mass-
sins of Bir Norman Leslie were caught, tied up from the
bock of elephants to a gallows, and then swung off. The
soldiers of their owe regnuents were made executioner., and
it wee boasted at the time that one of the assassins was hung
by hit own father, in order to show the loyalty of the regi-
ment Mr. Hay says that many old Eaet Indians foretold
that these troop would ultimately mutiny. sad that there
could be no doubt they sympathised with the s.easeina of
Leslie and his brother officers. Their turning exe-
cutioners, and a father hanging his own son,
were only a blind. They Redo biding their time.
Mr. Hay think. the news of the mutiny at
Dimpore is bad non, became. it shows that the common'.
cationa between Calcutta and Delhi may be interrupted.
There ie one thing, however, to be considered; the mutineers
have no guns in the neighbourhood, sod they have a very
wholesome dread of the Me mar. pearling between Calcutta
and Alialmbsd, all of which carry guns. He thinks also that
the telegraph despatch yesterday IIOVA not contain good news
generally from India. It can hardly be mid that Central
India is tranquillised; it must 1., only small portion, of it.
The mutineers at Dinspore and in the Bengal Presidency
are ominous of evil. He as twenty days in Calcutta before
he left for England; dying that time there had been
two or three panics there, and persons living in the °anklet. had
taken refuge in the fort and on board the ship.. Confidence,
however, we. restored when he left, owing chiefly to 1,700
troeps from China that were lauded from the Himalaya. It
was at one time fully expected that the native Mohammed=
servants would rebel in Calcutta Numbers had been saying
to the European children of whom they had charge that all
the houses in Calcutta would soon belong to the natives. •
(parceled Brahmin in Calcutta, had been accosted by natives
who did not know of his conversion, and was told that there
would be a general rising in Calcutta, and that the tz
would be asobsted by the native servants in driving outlt
English. About 5,000 freak troops have arrived and been
sent up the country since the mutiny broke out. They go
up by steamers as far as Allahsted, which is situated at the
junction of the Junin* and the Ganges. Mr. Hay, a. he

Havel. k would, after leaving Cawnpore, proceed to destroy
Nona Sahib at Bbittoor before he went to relieve Lucknow,
to prevent Nana from occupying the rear with any force. It
I. most eetishe try to find, however, that Havelock has ap-
parently considered himself enabled to go on to Lucknow
without first accomplishing the deetruction of Nana, because
Lucknow was so touch in need of succour. Probably Hare-
lock has left the further chaetisement of the arch traitor to
Colonel Neill, who must have moved on from Allababed,
Mr. Hay rounders that Agra mud hate fallen by this tie=
unleee relieved. He state, that on his portage to England
he met a French officer, a Captain La Fous who had been
in the Panjaub war, and knew Nana Sahib intimately, and
mw him at Cawnpors after the mutiny had broken nut
at Delhi. To show the duplicity of this scoundrel. he la-
mented to Captain La Foust the outbrmk, and solid that he
could hardly believe it—it was meet shameful. There can-
not be a doubt that he had been privy to it, was gloating over
its atrocities, and was plenning the snort hellish treachery sU

pore be has escaped to his castle at likittoor, which is well
defended with cannon.
Mr. Hoy thinks the issuing of the greased eartriflges to

niutineere well understood that the greased cartridges were

an error to pretence the 80 high caste mon at Meerut to

They were all native gentlemen belonging to a cavalry re-
