The Times publishes the translation cf a proclamation
by Nena Sahib, which was found posted at Cawnpore. It
represents the introduction of greased cartridges as having
been determined upon by the Queen, as a means of
destroying the religion of the Hindoos and Makomedans.
It is then affirmed that the Sultan and the Viceroy of
Egypt consulted how they could best aid in preventing
this, and it was arranged that, as the English army must
pass through Egypt, it must be cut off. The proclamation
says—The instant the English army arrives the King of
Egypt opened guns upon them from all sides, and
destroyed and suck their ships, and not a fines boldier
escaped.
