Allah;Lbed, June 28.

On the fith are had in the fort about 30 invalid arid-
levy soldiers, some few commissariat and magar.ine sergeants,
and we volunteers mustering above 100 men. There versals°
400 Sikhs, and 80 of the wretched 6th (Native Infantry)
guarding the main gate! A great number of the European
merchants and half-castes remained outside, believing the
report to be only a cry of " Wolf," and supposing it to be •
false alarm. The report of the approach of the Bewares in-
surgeota was false ; but, alas would that the poor creatures
lied taken advice and joined us in the fort I Among those
outside were poor Captain Birch, the Fort Adjutant, a
married man, poor fellow' with a family; Inn,,, the
executive engineer, who had the previous day resigned
his appointment in the fort from ill-health, and had
gone up to his bungalow. My poor dear Mend, Alex-
ender, of the Irregulars, was in a garden near the fort with
160 of his troopers. Two guns under Harvard, of the Artil-
lery, had bean bent down to the river to guard the bridge of

'Ms following, Aram rgyman, ls given by

Bangsiore, July 4.
" I began writing you en account by the last mail of this
terrible outbreak In the Bengal presidency, and I have de-
umbel to give you a brief outline of what further has
hem perystrated, as Englishmen ought to be In possession of
hen, het there should be any equesmisbnese about the
punniumnt in store for the brutal and diabolical mutineers.
" We have had an awful time of it I can ware yogi,
though we ourselves have been mercifully kept from alarm
or danger. No words can expose the feeling of horror
which pervades society in India, we hear so many private
accounts of the tragedy which are too sickening to repeat.
" The cruelties committed by the wretches exceed all belief.
They took 48 females, most of them'erirls of from 10 to 14.
many delicately manned ladies—violated them, and kept
them he the bees purposes of the beads of the insurrection
for a whole week. At the mid of that time they made
them strip themselves, and gave them up to the lowest of
the people , to abuse In broad daylight In the streets of
Delhi. They then commeneed the work of torturing them
to death, cutting of their breast., fingers, and nonsoind
leaving them to die. One lady was three days dying. They
flayed the Me of another lady and made her walk naiad
through the street. Poor Mrs. —, the wife of en °Mon
of the Regiment, at Meerut, was soon expecting her coo-
. finest. They violated her, then ripped her up, an t, Usk-
, leg from ber the unborn child, cast it and her into the
flames. No European man, woman, or child has bad the
slightest mercy shown them. I do not believe that the
world ever witnessed more hellish torment. than have been
inflicted on our poor fellow-countrywomen. At Allabsbed
s they have rivalled the atrocities of Delhi. I really canna.
I tell you the fearful cruelties these demons have been guilty
) of—cutting off the finger. and toes of little children, joint
t by joint, in eight of their parents, who were reserved for
similar treatment afterwards.

INDORE.

We ( Times) have received the following moat
interesting letter, written by a native functionary, and de-
scribing the state of Indere after the massacre or Bight of
the European residents. It would seem from this statement
that Holkar was really loyal in our cause :
"Indere Palace, July 8.
" Breveted Sir,—At last the worst has happened at In-
dere. The two oompanies and throe guns which have so
long been, at Colonel brand's request, sent to protect the
Residency, broke out into open mutiny on the Ist inst., and
Bred on the Residency-house. Colonel Durand, Mr. and
Mrs. Shakespeare and child, Mrs. Dutton, Major Stockleys
