AG RA.

The following from the Fort,. dated Agra, 6th
Bep•ember ;7,

In my letter yesterday, I told you it was rumoured
that a force of insurgents were combs* here horn Gwalior,
but that I did not credit the rumour; however it 'urns out
to be quite true; for we have received authentic informa-
tion, that 800 men, with two guns, crossed the Chambul
durirg Friday, and that as many thousands; with twelve
or fourteen guns, including mortars and howitzers, were on
the other side. Of course it is impossible to conjecture
with certainty, whether or not they intend attacking us ; but
the general impression is, that they will do so, wi h the
view of making a diversion in favour of the mutineers at
Delhi, as by coming here, they will draw to this quer er
the British troops, which otherwise would proceed from
Cawnpore to Delhi. They are said to consist of mutineers
of the G walior Contingent, of Holkar's men, and our own
Regiments from Indore aid thereabouts. The Chatnbal is
36 miles off, and it is supposed the enemy will first attack
and rendezvous at Dholpore, the Rajah of which. place
pretends to be favourahle to us. He sank all the boats
on this side of the Chumbul, but the enemy are said
to, have collected, with some diffieulty, forty on the
other bank. My own ides is, that the enemy will pro-
ceed to Bhurtpore, capture that place from our ally, its-
Rajah, and garrison themselves there, where they will be
able to make a strong resistance, should Colin Campbell,
Havelock, or Nei 1 attack them; and in the meantime they
can harass us considerably, by sending detachments oc-
casionally to our ne.ghbourhood. Moreover, in the event
of the ger ison of Delhi being driven to extremities, they
might fight their way to Bnurtpore, and by coalescing
with t'eetroops there, contin e to &ire us a great deal of
trouble.

ALLAHAB AD;
The following is from Allthabad, datod September 9 :
" A friend has just come in and reported that five regi-
ments of infantry and two- of cavalry had arrived from the
westward, and taken position at a p.aee called Monza.
Acunta about twen y miles from us. The Tehseeldar of
Saroun, a place ten miles hence, across the Ganges, with
his "Amlah," meny of them wounded, came in this morning
from their district. The Tehseeldar of Karee, sixteen males
across the Janina, has come in with the-treasure in his
charge. M'Gowan, our postmaster, has sent me for perusal a
report from Bhowanee Darn cf Sohagee dietrie., about 30
miles west across the Jumna, Surbaroker, in which he
states the treasure sent to Rewah has been returned ; a
large party of mutineers t-ad left Kheeree (36 miles from
us) for Kuttra where the Rewah Troops under Hinds met,
engagel, and were worsted by the mutineers who, after
dispersing the Rewah troops, were advancing on Rewah.
This is a serians matter, and we pause for confirmation or
contradiction of the report. After sending 1;300 men with
General Outrank-to reinforce Cs' metal Havelock, we have
but 170 left in our garrison, of whom one half are in
hospital.

SUBSIDING OF THE REBELLION.

A. letter from Havelick's camp states that two of the
mutineer regioaentb have sent in to the Gener4l, offering
to lay down their arras if their lives were spared. The
reply was, that no overture from any rebels could be
entertainei, but that if they gave ocular demonstration
of their Ein -I.er ty, that is, by righting their brother
mutineers, their case would be taken into con.sideration.
