TILE BOMBAY MAIL

ceived flea of papers from Bombay to the 27th of

the Bombay Oazetk of the 27th of June :
The English mail of the Std of June arrived in Bombay on
the 24th of June.

Rain has been general and abundant over nearly the
whole of the famine district. Intelligence from the very
heart of the district states that the villagers seem cheerful,
and every bullock and plough has been brought into re-
quisition.

The famine relief committee at Lahore have resolved to
remit 1! lac of rupees in equal proportions to Delhi, Hirer,
and Cis-Butlej, for the purchase of cattle and seed gr•io.
Colonel Baird Smith, oommissioned on the special duty, has
published his report on the famine, defining its boundaries,
and reviewing the system of relief. By relief houses, relief
works, and employment of ordinary public works, not fewer
than half • million of the population have been directly bene-
fited. The spontaneous relief sought in emigration has
influenced nearly half • million more. Many tribes have
struggled on without accepting Wu: relief than that from
public demands on account of land revenue. The whole
body of sufferers can scarcely be lees than from one and •
quarter to one and a half minima

The Royal Mul steamship Europa,. which left
Boston on the 10th, and Halifax on the 12th instant,
arrived in the Mersey at midnight.
A telegraphic summary of the news has already
appeared.

The New York Herald of the 9th says :—"An
incident which may prove of some importance, and
is at least invested with considerable interest, oc-
curred at Arlington yesterday. Major Taylor, of
New Orleans, arrived at the camp of the Bth New
York Regiment, from /tenement Junction, under a
flag of truce. He brought despatches from Jeffer-
son Davis to President Lincoln, and was forwarded
by order of General Scott to the head quarters at
Washington."
The Washington Star Rara says :
The Pisani did set deem the missange brought by
Mater Taylor seek as required him to eater into say some
sonalosilon whatever with James Davis. He was escorted
back to the lines without hair* saeomplisbed what was
evidently she main point of his RAW" Ivir., to eon—ii"i 'mat.
este with truiton in oar midst, who bad doubtless preps—Q
to seed through him important information concerning the
alleged coetempluted movement of ArDoweil's army.
The Star further says :

Although the Prandial has communicated the exact con.
teat. of Dade letter to none but his coonitutionel advisers
sad Gemara Scott, from certain signs we are able to assure
the public it amounted to nothing of intportanow_to the
pigeon crisis.

On the 9th, 100 of the Garibaldi Guard muti-
nied, left the camp, and came to the city. They
wee disaffected because they received muskets in-
stead of rifles. They would have to return or be
shot. They remained under arrest when the des-
Petah left Washington.

hence. The house was crowded with members. A
resolution was passed ordering the rescript to be
printed.
The Upper House is now assembling.
PESTH, Jura 22, Evrarnsa.
The Upper House having assembled, the royal
rescript was read amid profound silence. Only a
few members were present. The rescript com-
mences by stating that the relation of Hungary
to the whole monarchy is, and for three
centuries has been, de facto a real union,
as far as war, finance, and foreign affairs are con-
cerned, and that when the constitution was granted
to the country the constitutional necessities of the
wholemonarchy were naturally taken into considera-
tion. The independent internal administration of
Hungary, it says, is not thereby endangered,
but, on the contrary, will be strengthened. The
laws of 1848 cannot be re-establish 4 because they
are incompatible with the present constitution.
The Diet is requested to proceed to a revision
of these laws • to send representatives to the
Council of the 'Empire in time to take part in the
financial discussions, which will come on in August
next ; to come to an understanding with the Croa-
tian Diet iu reference to the relation of Croatia to
Hungary ; and finally, to draw up a law relative to
the use of the national language and the develop-
ment of the non-Hungarian inhabitants.
The rescript declares the union of Hungary with
Transylvania to be for the present impracticable,
and says—" The affairs of Service shall be arran
on the basis of the reeolutioss of the Servsan
National Congress.
"It is useless to renew the act of abdication of
the Emperor Ferdinand, because Hungary is com-
prised in Austria."
In conclusion, the rescript guarantees an amnesty
on the occasion of the coronation of Francis Joseph
as King of Hungary.
