eluded in a constitutional manner. The revision

Switzerland.

THE BOMBAY MAIL.

By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re-
ceived files of rapers from Bombay to the 233 of
August, and from Calcutta to the 15th of August.
We take the following summery of news from the
Bombay Gazette of the 23d of August
It is reported that the Secretary of State has
been making inquiries regarding the differences be..
tween the indigo planters and the ryots in Bengal.
He desires to know whether they have returned to
their usual work or not, and also what the produce
of indigo is in the districts and whether it has
reached its former average or n3t.
There seems to be a probability that the late frog.
tier wPr will not be quite so expensive an item in
the Budget as was expected,it having been rumoured
that the property of the rebel lthhotned Shaffee,
which has been confiscated, amounts to ten lees of
rupees. There is, however, some difficu!ty in the
way of realising the money, as the bulk of it is
said to have bean left in Bombay by Mahomtd
Shaffee on returning from his pilgi image to Mecca.
" Sir Hugh Rase has requested p:mussion to be
allowed to form his camp at Cawnpore and to iosrect
the military stations east of the Ganges, but it is
nevertheless believed that his excellency is anxious
to leave for Europe in March.

"A brigade of Horse Artillery and eight regi-
ments of the line are expected to go home this
season, four of the latter in course of relief, and four
in consequence of the threatening aspect of affairs
in Europe and the drain upon the revenue in India.
" Great diff,:rencee of opinion still prevail in the
Bhootan Durbar on the subject of the answer to be
given to the Governor-General's letter, the Dhurm
and Deb Rsj advising submission and an apology
for their treatment of the Mission. The Toungeo
Penlow is still fur war, and opposes the peace party.
Ele says that the British want to obtain land
for the cultivation of tea, coffee, and cotton ;
Bhootan cannot be taken, it having been
prophesied by the Shasters that it must res
main independent for ever! The apology will
be written, however, notwithstanding all this.
We have since heard that the Dhurm and Deb R
have dispatched a messenger to the Lieut.-Governor
of Bengal, with presents, to pave the was for cub -
mission, but that he was stopped at Paro by the
Penlow, and all the presents taken from him, when
he was allowed to proceed, minus the presents.
" From Affghanis tan we learn that a reconciliation
has taken place between the Ameer and his brother
the Sirdar Uzful Khan, who sued for pardon. He
was so much alarmed that he was afraid to ap-
proach the presence of the Ameer, and it was not
until the latter sent a kinsman to him -with a
Koran that he could be induced to do so. Value
ableKlailluts were exchanged between them, and the
Ameer took over the troops of the penitent Sirdar,
and after ordering their arrears of pay to be cleared
off, sent them on to Cebu:. It appears that Uzful
Khan was glad to come to any terms with the
Ameer, as through his oppression the people of
Bulk and his own army were so much against him
that large numbcra of his troops were deserting daily
an going over to the Ameer. We have since heard
that there is a rumour prevalent that the Ameer
t has made prisoners of Uzall.Kluti and his brothers,
and sent tLem to Cabui.
