BENARES.

The following is from Bemires :
26th July.—By a letter of the 16th inst., Agra.sa all
well, and no enemy near them. They had complete com-
mand of the city and cantonments, though the latter, having
been destroyed, are not occupied. They have plenty of am-
munition, and provisions for more than ate months. The
mutineers had gone to Mules, for want of heavy guns to
attack the Fort of Agra.
The Owalior mutineer regiments bare not yet left that
place, and no immediate movement on their part seems
likely.
The country near Meerut is believed to be quite safe; and
above it to the hills, is comparatively tannquil.
The Punjeb remains happily quite quiet.
The country between Agra and Cawnpore is completely
disorganised, each village plundering on its own account.
The mutineers at Delhi running short of ammunition.
The lest news from thence, dated 7th July, when it was
exfzd te. to
erL o
fallin a few daps.
New. the
23rd,
nearly the whole force
and guns had crossed the river. Tho paseage was very
difficult on account of the breadth and strength of the
stream, though tents and baggage were left behind.
Lucknow Irma quite easy, the fire of the enemy being very
slack from want cf ammulution. Some bodice of men who
occupied the villages on the road between Cawnporo and
Lucknow, abandoned them on bearing of the passage of the
river.

P 3 o
July.— All quiet at Bemires and Mirzapore. I have
beard nothing further !a putting the Dinapure deserters.
Perhaps you have.
Jubbulpore is all quiet, and the moveable column arse ex-
pected in on the let proximo. The Bundelsha again ool-
looted at Bilharie, another company of the 62nd, with two
European officers, and Captain Baldwin, Aesiatant Commis-
sioner, left Jubbulpore to reinforce the detachment of the
62nd that went out on the first occasion, and the company of
the 60th at Myhere has marched down to join them, end I
fancy the budnaxabes at Bilharie will, as on a former occasion,
bolt without firing a shot.

LUCKNOW.

We (Calcutta Englishman) received the following
translation of a native letter from Lucknow, dated
the 12th instant :

hem just come from Lucknow, end states
—On fitutday, 12th July, about 8 o'clock, I left Lucknow; up
to that time all was well. The Europeans were in the Resi-
dency, end the mutinous troope were attacking from the
outeMe great plunder was going on in the city. Outside
the Residence there are roomy thousand men, but they are not
all lighting men. Many tit them are people of the city and
lookers on. There may be about 12 regiments, and a few
Ressalahs; and it is true t bat on one occasion the British troops
gave the mutineers a thrashing, and put them to flight. More
than 100 of the mutineers are killed daily . Of those who
die, they who have relations are burnt, otherwise the bodies
are thrown into the Guomtee river. The wounded are car-
ried away in doolies, and lusted. Both in the city and in
the camp there m great tumult ; the mutineer. do not now
keep up so severe a cannonade as they did at first, and it is
probable that their supplies of ammunition axe running
short ; for at night, now, there is no tiring from the guns,
though musketry firing gone on.
A gun or two may perhaps be fired at night. The &pop
who have plundered the city are walking homeward with
their spoil.
The mutineers are searching in the city for saltpetre, but
I have not honed of their searching for copper caps ; in fact,
none ere to be had to the city.
Provision, are plentiful, and the Bunnashs have been Mild to
keep their shops open, sod sell for ready money. All the
IMailllllllll have put up in the gardens of the city people, of
which they have forcibly taken poeseeeion.
Rajah Goor Buz Baugh, the Rajah of Remnuggur, and
Rajah Nawab Allee, acid a great number of the petty neigh-
bouring Rajahs, have joined the fight and given thi irlassist-
anoe. But neither /tenth Man Singh nor his followers are
there.
