dated 30th June, accompanying, gives the occur-
rences in the N.IVV. Provinces up to that date.
Last news up to July 19th : The fort is still
occupied, and tranquility has been restored in the
city and cantonments. On the sth of July 500
of the 3rd Regiment, with the European Horse
Battery, moved out to attack the Meerut muti-

neers. r Two ammunition waggons blew up, and
want of ammunition compelled the troops to
retire, which was done in an orderly manner.
The result was the removal of the troops into
the fort, where the European inhabitants had
already been assembled. The Agra Govern-
ment has been desired to open a communica-
tion daily with Delhi, as well as with Cawn-
pore. Lieutenant-Colonel Cotton was directed
to take command of the troops, superseding
Brigadier Polwhele.
Allahabad: Supplies of all kinds collecting
fast. Country tranquil, and order restored here
as well as in the neighbourhood. An extensive
entrenchment is being made under the direc-
tions of Captain Yule, of the Engineers. The
country have provided abundant supplies of
all kinds, which are being stored for the troops
expected.
Attack : No news.

Azinghur : The mutiny of the 12th Irregular
Cavalry at Segowlee compelled the Azinghur
party to abandon that place a second time.
The troops had previously had some engagements
with insurgents and Mudha Persaud. The
detachment of the 12th Irregular Cavalry on
duty at Azinghur deserted on hearing of the
mutiny of the head quarters of the corps, but
did no injury to their officers. • 500 Ghoorkhas
have been ordered to this place, but had not
arrived.

Barrackpore (Fort William) : Nothing re-
markable. There was a considerable panic
among the inhabitants of Calcutta at the time
of the Bukeereed, which, however passed off
quietly. The body guard have had their arms,
&c., lodged in the arsenal. Two regiments of
Madras N.I. have reached Calcutta, and are
about to be despatched, one to Dinapore by
steam, the other up the Trunk-road. One hun-
dred European Infantry and a detachment of 120
Sikhs 4.ve been sent to Raneegunge. The Sikhs
have been taken from all the Native Regiments
below Allahabad, and formed into a separate
corps. At present only 120 have been brought
together.

up at Rajghat. Guns have been sent down from

culty on the 2nd of August. The Newab
Nazeew's troops and the townspeople were also
disarmed quietly on the following day. The
horses of the Cavalry, as well as the arms were
away from them.

filtatiqulpore : All quiet by last accounts.
Orders were sent to disarm the- troops, but the
Commissioner represents that the order could
not be carried ou: at Bhaugulpore ; the greater
part of the sth Irregular Cavalry was in the
district, when it would be impossible to carry
into effect the disarming, and if the attempt were
made it would be followed by the murder of the
officers detached, as well as the civilians at
outposts. _ _ _

liolandshuhur : Nothing from this place.

Cawnpore: Was re-occupied on the 17th. The
Nana Sahib fled from Bitoor, which was taken
possession of by the troops, his palace burnt and
magazine blown up ; 13 guns were taken and a
number of animals. Brigadier-General Have.
lock's force effected the passage of the river by
the 28th, having `met with great difficulty on
account of the want of boats. Brigadier-General
Neil was left in. command at Cawnpore, with a
small force of 300 Europeans and some guns,
and he had re-established the British authority
in the city and the bazaar, and the neighbour-
hood was tranquil. General Havelock marched
on the morning of the 29th, met the enemy at
Oonou, defeated them, and took three guns.
After resting he proceeded on. when the enemy
advanced to meet him ; an action took place
which resulted in the total defeat of the enemy
with the loss of twelve more guns. Brigadier-
General Havelock proceeded on to Busheergunge
where he again met with opposition, but he took
the place, driving out the enemy, and took four
more guns; in all nineteen

being made to strengthen the place; and fifty
European Infantry and a few Artillery have been
added to the station.

Dacca : All quiet.
Delhi: A mess4ge from Agra of the 19th
July mentions that the troops had remained
merely on the defensive up to the 14th. The
mutineers attacked every third or fourth day,
and are invariably repulsed. with loss. Our
force consists of about 6,000 troops of all kinds,
exclusive of sick and wounded. Up to the
14th there had been 159 killed ; !83 were sick,
and 352 were wounded.

Dinapore :
,The three Native Regiments, the
7th, Bth, and 40th, deserted bodily on the after-
noon of the 25th, taking with them their arms.
The percussion caps in ,store had been removed
in the morning, and the demand to deliver over
the caps in pouch was the immediate cause of the
mutiny. An attempt was, after some delay, made
to follow the mutineers, but its result was qui'e
fruitless. Nothing was done fur some days, when
a detachment, consisting of two companies of the
10th Foot, two companies of the 22nd Foot, and
50 Sikhs, were sent under Captain Dunbar, of
the 10th, to drive the mutineers out of Arrah, to
which place they had proceeded, and were be-
sieging the civil officers and European residents.
The party landed at night from the steamer, and
proceeded towards Arrah. In the dark they were
led into an ambuscade, were attacked by the
mutineers, and driven back with the loss of nearly
half the party. The remnant had returned to
Dinapore. Major .General Lloyd has been re-
moved from his command, for his culpable
neglect, and the Commander-in-Chief has been
requested to institute the usual preliminary
inquiry preparatory to his trial by court-martial.
`No further attempt made to relieve Arrah from
Dinapore, but Major Eyre of the Artillery had.
