NORTH-WEE 3T PaoviNcEs,

The present state of the North Western Provinces
appears to be as follows :—Delhi has been taken, and the
country all round is quieted. Two flying columns have
been detached from the victorious host—one to the east-
ward under Lieutenant-Colonel Showers to Rewaree, which
has been fully successful, and the other under Lieut.
Colonel Greithead to Agra, The latter, after successful
affairs at Bolundshuhur, Malaghur, and Allyghur, arrived
at Agra by forced marches in time to meet the com'-iined
mutineers, who, iii great numbers, assembled at Agra
on the 10:h October; and were defeated with the loss of
their guns, camp equipage'. ammunition, and treasure—
everything, in fact which constituted an army—and were
pursued and disie:reed, after which Lieut.-Col Greithead'e
column marched towards Cawnpore. Since that day the
villagers have resisted the dispirated remains of the muti-
neers ; the latter have not only been driven off from Muttra
and Bhurtpore, but even from smaller towns and villages,
and many have been killed and more taken prisoners.
Bhurtpore, as the nearest and best prepared state, set the
example of active opera'ions against the mutineers and in-
surgents; and Captain Nixon, the political agent of Bhurt-
pore, and Captain Gee Murnbe,e, the superintending
engineer of Rajpootana,have returned to Bhurtpore and have
been received by all parties in the state with distinguished
honours. The Maharajah of Gwalior now feels himself
strong enough to express his wish to re-establish relations
with the !British Government, and his friendly over-
tures (of the sincerity of which there can be no doubt,
from his excellent conduct during the past troubles) will
be responded to at once, if the vaccination of the Govern-
ment of the North Western Provinces, passed on from one
head of the Government to another, can allow of direct and
prompt action without reference to Calcutta. The
mutineers ,having been killed in considerable numbers in
the Bhurtpore state, and others sent into Agra for trio! and
having been executed, the Rao Reja of Kussowlie has
next taken up the pursuit, and it will be followed
throughout the confederate Rajpoot states. 'I he heart of
the mutiny is broken on the west of the Jumna—no
mutineer exists now in those except as a fugitive, and the
Jumna has been, and the Gunge or Ganges seen will be
crossed by every body that has been able to hold together
as far as that latter river. The campaign will then assume
entirely the character of a foreign war.

ROCHILCUND.
Dituir.—The following information is contained in a
Lester from Delhi, dated October 1 We are now work-
ing hard to get matters settled here and in the district.
Brigadier Showers returned yesterday with a small force
with which he had been to the Kootul.:.

All being quiet at Delhi, ILM.'s 52nd marched towards
the Punjaub. Three European regiments. the 60%, Gler,
and let Europeans, remain at Delhi, wth the 4th Sikhs,
Guide Infantry, and Sitnoor Battalion and two troops of
Horse Artillery.
Oct. 9.—We are all quiet her; and everything going on
satisfactcrily."
Ocf.l2.—Mirza Bukhtawur Shahand Mirza Mehundo,
sons of the King, were condemned by the Military Court,
and sentenced to be shot. The execution was. to take place
on the morning of the 13th.
The King will be arraigned before a military commis-
sion next week. The prosecution will be conducted by
Major Harrier, D..puty Jadge Advocate-General. His life
was guaranteed tc him at the time of apprehension.
Some of the chief rebels, Mr. Saunder's writes,
"among the Alihommedan gentry of Delhi, are being
gradually arrested, and will be brought to trial when
sufficient evidence to convict them has been collected."

OCT. I3.—Mr. Saunders writes:—Everything is quiet
here. We have received letters to-day from Showers's
cilurnn, reporting that they were then at Janoo Sata, and
had made semral of the Jhujjur sowars, who had come
across them, lay down their arms without resistance.
We are graduaty apprehending. some of the chief
offenders, the Nawab of Jbujjur and others being anxious
now to testify their loyalty and affection for the British
Government by apprehending for us parties who have been
concerned in the rebellion.

MEE tUT, OCT. 14.—The whole of the Upper Doab is
rapidly settling into order. The land revenue balances for
the Rubbee harvest will soon hive been paid up entirely.
The horse dawk runs all the way from Meerut to Agra.
MOZUFFERNUGGER, 11th October.—All is again quiet
in this district. The rebels appear to have entirely dis-
persed. Mr. Edwards was still at Thannah Bhowun with
the district force, an I the land revenue was coming in
rapidly.
GWALIOR —The Contingent, it is reported on good
authority, has moved from Gwalior, and taken an eastward
course. It started on the 14th or 15th. News of the
victory of the 10th had reached Gwelior, and created great
sensation there. The Maharajah, now relieved of his
difficulties, will publicly re-open political communication
with the Governor-General's agent. '
Situaameroax.—,The popular tide is now running fast
in favour of Goverment: All the large towns in this
district were illuminated in honour of the fall of Delhi.—
Delhi Gazette, October 14.
NYNEE Pare—The Bareilly rebAs have again sent a
force agains`, Nynee Tal, and have occupied Huldwanee
and K tleedooagee. Nynee Tel is, however, quite secure,
and Major Ramsay only waits fora favourable opportunity
to attack the invaders. A supply of arms, &c., has been
sent over from Mussoorie.
OPERATIONS FOR THE RELIEF OF LUCKNOW.
eawNroue, October 12.—Since sending you my last
communication, I have been favoured with news from the
army before Lucknow. All is not so quiet there as was at
first reported, and the town of Lucknow is not yet ours,
though General Sir J. Outram is close upon it, and has
destroyed upwards of two miles of the famous and extensive
city. All communication with him and his force is at
present totally obstructed. About two or three miles from
the town of Lucknow, the enemy had a formidable
entrenchment thrown up, and had fifty pieces of ordnance
mounted on it; and the taking of this was the commence-
ment of a series of fights with the rebels. The battle
at this place was well and fiercely contested, and
lasted some hours, and ended in the enemy
evacuating it in a most precipitate manner, but the
loss on our side was great. Between this entrenchment
and Lucknow is an extensive and wide cantil, over
which, in peaceful times, was constructed a bridge: The
main body of our army marched on to the relief of the
garrison, and close upon the heels of our sab'e foes,
leaving behind in the entrenchment the whole of the
wounded and baggage, and a strong party under the
command of Major Sibley, 64th Foot, to protect and
garrison it. After our army had got well over the
bridge, cheers and loud hurrahs rout the air, and
handkerchiefs and pieces of cloth were waved by the
garrison, which, I am happy to say, was shortly after-
wards joined and set free by the brave troops come
to their succour. This relief happened in good time,
for the rascally rebels had a part of the garrison
entrenched camp undermined, and ready for loading.
Had we delayed another day, there would,
I doebt not, have been another tragedy enacted, but, as I
said before, the relief was well timed. It is more than
my pen can do to give you even the most distant account
of the meeting, 'twas so pleasing to behold; I shall, how-
ever, leave it to your imagination. The poor women, and
the still more helpless children, were in a most miserable
plight from want of clean clothes ; in fact, the whole of the
garrison were hard up for a change. The women, children,
and sick were all sent to the entrenchment at Allumbagh,
and there they are now, waiting for reinforcements ere they
can be trusted even as far as Cawnpore, distant some forty
miles or so. I forgot to mention that the whole of the guns
in the fortification, taken by a charge from the enemy,
became ours, and shorty before two others were captured—
one in rather an original kind of a battery situated on the
road. This gun, I ail told, was charged in a most gallant
style by the small detachment of her Majesty's 64th. No
