number of home and elephants, with 3,000 stand of
arms. The chief himself was captured on the 17th, ,
in hie hunting-grounds at Chowenekwas. Informs-
tide was now rte.:sieved that the Goojurs bad fallen
back to Rewaree, with the view of plundering the
cities. Hodion's horse, which had just joined,
now dashed bock, overtook them, and cut
about forty of them to pieces. A party of the Guide
cavalry next surprised Nahur, captured about forty
vagabonds, secured some fifty cavalry horses, and a
couple of nine-pounders. The majority of the cap-
tives. were hanged, but not till after due trial, and a
suScienoy of evidence to convict them of their guilt.
The beastital country and fine climate, with the
I excitement of the pursuit, seemed to act like maeo
ea the health and spirits of the men. On the Ikh
the column reached Dedree, where the chief came
oat to meet them in token of respect, and wee un-
bounded in his professions of loyalty and duty The
following day the Cashmere Leine, War Captain
Lawrence, joined the column. A body of cavalry,
detached to Nahur, endeavoured to permit the fugi-
tives from reaching the fort of Named, and out up
all thre overtook. A squadron of the cam
biasere, with Hodeoris force, were afterwards sent
oat in the same direction, under Colonel Cubing"
with the view of obtaining possession of the fort be-
fore it was reached by the enemy. Brigadier
Showers himself, with the main Mum, followed as
speedily as he could, and reached the place on the
110th, when they found Colonel Costume, who had
arrived the daybetare, he pommies. The garrison,
who had not been reinforced, surrenikwed at 1116/111.
Fifty thousand pounds worth of treasure in rupees,
with fourteen guns, and a liege quantity of stores,
were captured. About five hundred of the garrison,
said to be Poorbothe, had fled during the night, and
80 who remained laid down their arms. Here the force
rested awhile, to recover from their recent violent exer- •
tions. They had during the previous fortnight secured
upwards of 70,0001. worth of treasure. Theyl
started again on the 22nd. On the 31st a detach-
meet of Showers' column went in pursuit of a
body of Mewattee and other insurgents, who had
takes up a position on the heights near Send:, in
the Goorgson district. The rebels were dispersed'
with the loss of about 100 killed. In this affair Mr.
W. Clifford, of the Civil Service, was killed by a shot
from the enemy.
GRANT'S CoLeme.—At the date of our last
Colonel Greathed's column, after the battle of Agra,
on the 10th October, were pushing on with all haste
towards Camper*, where they expected to arrive
on the 27th. On the 18th, Brigadier Grant, of the
9th Lamers, joined and took command in room of
Colonel Great Taking them up where we left
them at Mynpoorie, on the 19th, we now pie-
sue an account of the march. Halting for a
day on the 20th, they reached Bower on the
21st, and recovered the treasure, about 23,0001.,
left there when the mutiny broke out in May. The
fort, with all the buildings it contained, was blown
u After a long march of 24 miles, they reached
• ge on the 22nd. On the 23rd they
arrived at onj, where a portion of the Delhi fugi-
tives, an their way to Futtehghur, had established
themselves. On discovering the approach of our
troops, a body of 300 of them, with five en-
deavoured to escape iti the direction of Ouch Two
handled of the 9th Lancers, with a body of native
:ml7, the 15th Irregulars, were immediately de-
in pursuit, when heavy firing being heard,
Grant followed with a second squadron and a couple
of guns. The enemy had attempted to form on
creasing the Hales Nuddes (Black River), and fired
at oar cavalry. On our guns opening they de-
camped, our troopers crossing the stream and fol-
lowing them. They were now shut up
betwixt the Ganges and the lather stream,
where about two hundred of them were cut up—
the remainder camped into the fields. The five guns
were captured, two of them being our own. A
few both of the cavalry and Ses were drowned
in endeavouring to swim the Ganges. Lieutenant
Watson and two native troopers were slightly
wounded. The force once more pushed on, and
reached Cawupore on the morning of the 28th of
October, or twenty-four hours sooner than was
expected. They had occupied a month on the way
from Delbi, traversing neerly 300 miles, the, whore
career being one great sweep of triumphs.
AORA.—On the 27th October Colonel Cotton,
with a small body of troops, made a forced march
from Agra to Futteypore-Sekree, where a large body
of the Indore fugitives were said to be assembled.
The force consisted of 200 of the Fagineer Brigade,
three light field battery guns, two 8-inch howitzers, a
detachment of Sikh cavalry and infantry, under com-
mand of Lieutenant Sheriff, and the militia cavalry.
They reached their destination early on the morning
of the 28th, but found that the bulk of the enemy
bad decamped during the night. A few desperate
men still held a very strong position in the Taber!.
daree and buildings around. After • short bom-
bardment a 9-pounder was brought to bear on the
erstern gate, when the troops burst in and stormed
the place. Twelve men were killed inside, and five
cut up by the cavalry when attempting to escape.
We had seven or eight men wounded, most of them
slightly; amongst them was Lieutenant Glubb. No
one was killed. The Kerowlee Rajah's troops had
before this destroyed a portion of the same
set when attempting to cross the Chumbul.
The column next proceeded towards Muttra,
at which place they arrived on the 31st,
having cut some 130 rebels at the village of
Bhegree, where a large %timidly of ammunition was
secured. Thee were still at Muttra on the 2nd of
November, and were next to march towards }lode].

NYNEE TAL.—This beautiful mountain retreat,
beaking in the bosom of the Himalayas, could not,
in spite of its seclusion in these times of tribulation,
escape attack. About the middle of October, a rebel
about 5,000 strong, including 1,000 cavalry, took up
positions at Huldwanee and Kelledoongee, thus
blockading the only two pones that lead to Nries
Tal, and so cutting off their supplies. The be-
siegers had no idea of attacking the place, which is
nearly impregnable, with a handful of determined
men to defend it. They fired. salute in honour of the oc-
casion. The native mountaineers of the neighbourhood
the moment they were made aware of what had
occurred, in sheer good will, and without pay or
other inducement, poured down to protect the panes,
of which every peak, precipice, and cavern was
known to them. Major Ramsay, commanding the
Bth Irregulars, proceeded with e party of 300, to
examine their position. On his way, he came across
three hundred troopers, formerly belonging to his
corps, but who fled the moment he approached them.
On nearing the enemy, we endeavoured to draw out
their cavalry, with the view of decoying them across
the We canal, and then cutting off their retreat.
Unfortunately for us, they saw their danger before
they were enough in our toils, and gallopped
back full s before we were able to occupy the
bridge in their rear. With the jungle fever on all
sides of them, impenetrable passes in their front, and
General Penny threatening to advance in their rear,
they quickly got tired of the game of blockading,
and decamped, and the beautiful sanatarium is once
more safe as a retreat, void of all alarm.

CAWNPOItE.—Our last data from Cawnpore
extended to the 24th October, and gave particulars
of an excursion to Bhitoor on the 18th, with the
approach of reinforcements both from north and
south. Since then the direct mails have been
plundered, and we have for the fortnight been de-
prived of the communications of our own correspon-
dents, and been compelled to draw on intelligence
reaching us by the circuit of Calcutta. On the
morning of the 22nd, a convoy of 700 men, with
four guns, left in charge of provisions for Alumbagh,
where the sufferings of the garrison were very
severe. Though within three miles of Lucknow
they knew nothing whatever of what had occurred
there within the previous fortnight. On the morn-
ing of the 26th, Brigadier Orant's column marched
into Cawnpore a day earlier than was expected. It
consisted of two companies of Sappers and Miners,
three troops of Horse Artillery and two 18-pounder
