LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19.

Licr us endeavour to realise the position of
oar countrymen in India. To the north of
Delhi the gallantry of General Vex Coin.mgvr

has re-established the

1 with the Pun-

jaub ; but the Punjaub itself has only a scanty
force of Europeans, and until order is restored,
the North-Western Provinces can only look for
supplies of men and materials by the Indus. The
armies of Madras and Bombay might be expected to
advance to the rescue ; but their progress is
threatened to be impeded by disturbances on the
northern frontiers of these two Presidencies.

Efficient relief can only reach our brave countrymen
from Calcutta by the route of the Ganges and the
Great Trunk Road.

As far as Allahabad the communication with
the district in which the mutiny has gained the
pperhand may be considered as open. At
Allababad we enter the region in which our coun-
trymen have been called upon to contend against the
most disproportionod odds. Allahabad, Cawnpore,
Lucknow, Meerut, Agra, and Delhi, are the points at
which the English have succeeded in rallying.
Meerut, since the first outbreak of the mutiny—since

the mutineers left it for Delhi—his been little
troubled. Ages has never been seriously mailed.
It is at Delhi, Locknow, Cawripore, and Allshabad
that the most arduous struggles have been waged.
It is the fate of the Europeans at these points,
especially at the three Ent mentioned, that at this
moment fills all breasts throughout the Empire with
anxious expectation.

Allababad is situated at the confluence of the
Ganges and Juana; it is 498 mites (N.W.) from
Calcutta by land; 808 by water in the rainy, and
986 in the dry swats. Troops and stores can reach
it by sham beta Calcutta in 23 days; the return

ilndri of Iltoursi tininin the mutiny began
and the Wiese at that limb ammand is said to haws
shown little energy ; but Apse Tst was superseded
by Colonel Nam! the while operations of the dr
fenceksve been most spiribelland judicious. Pnropean
troops have been despatched to Allahahad as fast
se they arrived at Calcutta, and it is estimated
that there rand now be at least 6.000 in the place.
The fort occupier the angle formed by the practices
di the rivers. The two sides fronting the rivers are
meassailable by any native force; the third, or land-
less* heat, is strongly and judicioaely lertided.
Sin an be no doubt that AUahabad is now par-
