Tailing complaints. A detachment of the 28th Highlander,
numbering some 200 of all ranks, arrived yeeterday by dank
from Allahabad. Other detachments of the different corps
located here are daily expected. The 6th Fusiliers and 90th
Light Infantry, with cue troop of Hone Artillery, are in
Allababsd, and are coming up to join in the mime.

It is strange that, although it Gmrdi known bow
