together, they have had to do everything for themselves, and
employ all their time in sewing bags for powder for the
guns, well knowing the awful fete that awaits them if the
place is taken ; there has not been a sign of fear, they bring
ne tea or any little thing they caa, and would even like to
keep wale b on the bastions if we would let them."
Another passage in hie letter is se follows :—" Yesterday
Holkar's Vakeel came over and dieelaimed all participation
in the mutiny. We shall see if he 'la sincere, for they
offered to send all the treasure that was not car-
ried off over here, but I have my doubts. We have no
money and the people round, seeing the state of affairs,
won't let cm have anything without paying for it. We
hear Weedbuth's column will be here on the I.sth. God
'peed it: There is no water in the fort; we are dependent
for it from a well clue by, and if we are invested I don't
Imow what we shall do. It all depends on 'Jollier, for our
mutineers have marched to that rallying place of the faithful,
Delhi, to 'mist there. I don't know whether you will ever
get thin letter, for the road is lined with people to intercept
the dike. You should me the state we are in,—men reeking
up canister, lathe, sewing powder hags, people bringing
plunder recovered, artillery mounting guns, and I don't
know what all ;*all of ea dirty and tired with night watching
we mount sentry duty to take the weight of it off the artil-
lerymen; we snatch sleep and food as we tan; wo have
made a few foraging parties, and I succeeded in driving
beck our mess sheep, to the number of 150,and recovered a lot
of mem stores; but all our silver and furniture has been
stolen and burnt. This is not a regular fort—merely a sort
of store place for spare gum, he. But we are putting it in
as defensible a state as we can, and I think we atilt stagger
a few before they capture it. Martial *. is proclaimed,
and a gallows in course of erection outside the fort gates.
Mercy is • word we have scratched out; in fact, mercy to
them is death to us."

A correspondent of the Times mentions various
facts which he thinks supply reasons for believing that the
rumoured: maseeere of fugitives from Futtehghur is un-
founded. Be sends the following extract from s letter in
support of his view

"Calcutta, July 4.

"You will see in the newspapers that go by this mail an
account of the massacre at Cawnpore of 120 Eurzp tans who
had Bed from Futtohghnr by boats for Allahabad. We do not
believe the reports of this affair, because, in the trot place,
there was nothing like that number of Europeans in the
place, even including half aides :under that head; also,
because government has had no account of the alleged trans-
action ; and, further, because we learn from the agents here of
the Furrucabad abroffs, of whom we make almost daily in-
quiries, that up to the 20th or 21st tilt. (there Is the uncer-
tainty of a day. arising from the native method of noting
dates) everything at Fattehghor had remained quiet. Now
these native bankers contrive to get their letters conveyed
when government itself fade to do so; tbereforr we feel
inclined to place a good dad of c ntlilence in the accounts
communicated by these bazaar men. At the same time there
is no denying the possibility of the truth of the reported
massacre of the Fattehgbur people. I only hope that in
the end it may prove not to be true, and that by neat mail
we may be able to announce that the communication be-
tween that station and Allahabad has been restored, and
that we have heard from Mr. himaels en to his own
safety."
