will be published TO-MORROW.

Tat malingers in Delhi have now every prospect
of being able, unless " amine and the ague eat them
up," I. hold out till October. Meanwhile, the spirit
of mutiny is steadily creeping southward, and erri
cording to the latest amounts has extended as far eel
Indere and Mow. In these simmedease it
is not to be wondered at that reperkneedi late
*Sens should complain of the inedenete IMIEMENE It
the reinforcements which °mania rim In
consider requisite for India, of the einotenes masa
by Government to avail themselves of the NM
speedy means of transit, and of the pouniroste epda
in which Lord PALMERSTON and Mr. VEMIONS
EWE= persist in talking of the India crisis.
As a sample of the language in which the Pan
nun habitually indulges, take kis apology for not
despatching troops to India by the Isthmus of Sues.
Lord PALMERSTON told the Hones of Commons en
Tuesday that the Consul-General of Egypt repre-
sented, at the time when regiments from India were
forwarded by Suez to the Crimea, that their trans-
port was attended by so many difficulties he hoped
he should not be asked to make arrangements foe a
similar proceeding again. Such a representation
from a diplomatic servant might be a very good
reason for dispensing with the services of so my-
going a gentleman, bat unitedly it is no sakient
reason for not availing ourselves of the mast direct
roste and the most speedy means of transport to India
IM a crisis like the present. Lord PALMERSTON ad-
mitted that neither the Porte nor the PACHA would
abject to the passage of our troops through Egypt.
But then, added Lord Punzavrox, if we were to
am& troops to Alexandria now, there would not be a
anent number of steamers at Suez to carry them
en to India. The plain English of this is, that,

It b Ms that Lod PALMERSTON and his colleague
have away lost • elide opportunity. Had they

Team for the aineleption—even at this the
eleventh hea—of a ensure which would teach all
of ill-wilneniannisiaa bow speedily troops from
England can rash bilk when the English Govern-
ment feels it to make an effort in earnest.
There are two elm measures the adoption of
which has been promegly urged by experienced
his Atm, and by mss earlier or mole pertina-
May dr why OUT twomplaisst " CAUBOLZII." We
els& to a more extends, me of the Royal Navy,
sad to the employment of steamer, and gunboats on
dis Indian rivers.
In fact, these two measures appear to us to be in-
separable. We first invaded India from the sea;
the sea must almost be the basis of any of our military
loperations that have in view the retention or re-
enquest of India ; and the river navigation of India
is one of the great means by which the communica-
tion between our base on the coast and our most ad-
vanced puts in the interior must be kept up.
Our conquests in India have proceeded from four
principal points. From Calcutta the conquering
standards of Britain have been carried to Peshavrur,
seer arthast north-eastern post. From Madras they
haw ben borne southward to Cape Comorin, and
asillma to Nsgpore. From Bombay they have
aims* amotward to Poonah, and westward to the
his. Prom Kurrachei they have penetrated
airetward till they formed a junction at the bass of
the Himalaya with those which had advanced from
Bengal. AU the four places we have named are
indissolubly associated in the native mind with
the military exploits of the English. Cal-
cutta and Plumy, Madras and Seringapa-
tam, Kurrachee and Meeanee, are talismanic
words that remind Mahomedan and Hindoo alike
that their country is ours by right of conquest—the
only right which they recognise. If one of these
coast citadels is allowed to fall into the hands of our
anisoies, the event will be accepted as an omen that
Om term of our Empire has expired. Now, the best
me ms of maintaining these important positions is by
minieing a small squadron in the immediate vicinity
of each so long as the present troubles last. These
are the oos-de-pont by which the floating
bridge—our navy—over which supplies it
men and warlike saes are to be poured
into India is to be protected. To early
on and cover this transport is the function of
the navy. The fanetice of the gunboats and river
steamers, as an auxiliary wow of distributing these
men and stores over the otentry, is not len important.
Already a numerous stoma flotilla her boss plying
for years on the Ganges. Balsams has, at Lb
wade regular periodical passages has Earesehoo to
Mooltan. The Indua is navigable for stomas at
least as high as Earabagh. During the laureation
river steamers have repeatedly amended the i
Jhelum as far as the military station of
that name. Gunboats of • light draught
way be tonstroctot at Bombay which an mooed the

rivets even hear that dm leilitees. The Hooey

try a comparatively brief space of land at the centre
el the line. From the four seaboard stations we
bare named—and more especially from Knrrachee
and Calcutta—England, the Queen of the Sea, may
hold reluctant and recalcitrating India in an inex-
tricable grasp.
We have attributed great importance to the his-
torical memories which attach themselves to the
vicinities of Calcutta, Madras, and Kurraehee.
These battle-fields of Plessey, Seringapatam, and
Meesnee, are the only charters which the natives
recognise as conferring on us • legitimate title to
the sovereignty of India. There is only one similar
title-deed in existence that can make our Indian
subjects waver in their allegiance—it mast be can-
celled. The seats of Hindoo empire are mere
spectral memories of a pro-existent world. Luck-
now, Hydrabad, Umritsir, are modern and
ephemeral names, the power and prestige of
which have already passed away. But Delhi
is indissolubly associated with the stirring me-
mories of the Mogul Empire in its palmiest days.
Delhi has dared to place itself in an attitude of anta-
gonism to the new sovereigns to whom the rule of
India has been given by the sword. Delhi is the
only influential name that has as yet lent itself to
the support of our revolted Sepoys. Not only has
Delhi opened its gates to the mutineers ; the inha-
bitants of Delhi have taken an active part in the
atrocities perpetrated upon English women end
children. Delhi must cease to exist. All now
within its walls whose lives and properties are
spared after it has been captured must seek for them-
selves homes elsewhere. The razing of this central
beat of rebellion to the ground will tell more power-
fully upon the native imagination than the indis-
criminate slaughter of whole regiments, or bands of
plunderers and assassins. It will be a proclamation
to the whole of the East that England, resolute to
maintain its paramount sovereignty in Hindostan,
will not tolerate the existence even of a city which
can advance an ancestral or traditionary claim to be
the sat of any other dynasty. It will be one of
those emblematical expressions of irrevocable will so
sengenial to the Oriental imagination.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE CHINESE DIFF/CULTY.

The Conatantionnel of yesterday hag an article oa
the Chinese difficulty, signed by the secretary of
redaction, M. Bonibioe, in which the following para-
graph occurs, which, taken in connexion with the
"Conferences at Osborne," is curious :—"No doubt
we most suppose that England will ultimately van-
quish the Chinese; but her triumph is adjourned, in
consequence of the events in India; and inasmuch
as in the times in which we livo interests apparently
distant are intimately connected with those close at
home, we may add that a good and prompt solution
of the differences which have arisen at Canton must
depend in great measure upon the moderation which
the English cabinet may show in its European
policy. Great Britain must have nothing upon her
bands in Europe, in order to be able to strike a deci
sive blow in Asia."
