" An agent of Nana Sahib has put himself at the
had of tho insurgents of the Owalior Contingent,
and it is thought probable that he may form a junc-
tion with the Din►pore mutineers at Banda, or that
he may march direct to Calpee.

"The Gwalior mutineers left Gwalior the 15th
or 16th, with a siege train, field guns, and much
ammunition, and hays been heard of 36 miles from
Owelior.

" Mr. Burton, the political agent at Hadroottee, has
been foully murdered, with his two eons, by the
Rajah's troops.
" The Rajah is said not to have been concerned in
the act.

" The Jodbpore mutineers have gone towards
Sambhoar Lake. The Indore mutineers were
fought at Agra, on the 10th, and have fled towards
Itajpootana.

" Secretary to the Indian Government."

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
CALCUTTA, Novnnza 1.

Every eye is still bent on Lucke ow, for never
was our position there more critical. It now appears
that although General Havelock succeeded io
re-
luviog the garrison of Lucknow, it was at an enor-
mous sacrifice of life, twenty-six officers and two
hundred men being killed, and thirty-nine
and seven hundred wounded. Still he
succeeded, and earned the credit of saving our coun-
trymen and women from death. No sooner, how-
ever, was their safety apparently secured than he
was himself besieged. He is now occupying
the position so long held by our garrison, but
of his whole force, there ere barely seven hundred
fit for duty, while the attacking force numbers
thousands, and is daily being reinforced by the
baffled garrison of-Delhi. These latter, although
worsted in every encounter with our troops, are
creeping in gradually into Oude, determined to
make their last and fiercest stand in the land of
their birth. Still there is no fear for Havelock so
long as his provision, last, and these are in sufficient
abundance to last till the 10th inst. Before
that date can come round, in all human
probability a force numbering from four to five
thousand Europeans under the personal command of
Sir Colin Campbell will have at least attempted
to extricate him from his position. Colonel Great-
hed's column, which was especially strong in ca-
valry, after all but destroying the Indore and Nee-
much rebels at Agra, had marched on to Cawnpore.
It arrived at the latter station on the morning of
the 26th, and expected to march into Onde the next
day, taking with them the 23rd Fusiliers, and other
detachments which were daily arriving there.
Intelligence, however, reached government that the
Owalior mutineers, no longer restrained by the
Maharajah, were at Kalpee, and were marching with
all haste on Cawnpore, taking a siege-train with
them. This intelligence apparently decided the move-
ments of the Commander-in-Chief. He sent
orders, it is believed, to Colonel Greathed to
remain at Cawnpore, await his arrival there, and
act if necessary against the Gwalior rebels; he him-
self started the following evening (the 27th) in a
dak carriage, and has before this in all probability
reached Senates. General Garrett has been left,
to act for him during his absence in the
way of despatching regiments up country,
providing employment for the many officers of the
company's army who arrive in this country and
find themselves without regiments.
It is fortunate that all of the fugitives are
making for Oude; for there they must stand at
bay; there is no outlet for them; there they
must fight and there will they die. To the
north is Nepaal intrenehed against them by
natural obstacles, and defended by its hardy
population. Sir Colin Campbell will advance from
the south, whilst a force, composed of the
10th Foot, Goorkhas, and filadnis Sepoys, will
guard the eastern outlets of Juanpore, Aximgarh,
and Gooukhpore. Another force advancing from
the westward, through Rohilcund, will prevent
soy egress by that route. The great object
is to save Havelock's force. That must be accom-
plished at all risks. Meanwhile, troops are ari iving
more quickly even than was anticipated. Every
day announces some fresh arrival. As they
come in, they are hurried off with the
most commendable despatch, at the rate of about

a hundred per diem. In another month there will
be a very large force at Cawnpore, or, it is to be
hoped, at Lucknow itself.
