VEll LAND MAIL

INDIA.
(From the Times.)
We have received by our ordintry semi-monthly
express from Marseilles our dispatcies from India in
anticipation of the Bombay mails of the 16th ult.
They bring no remarkable intelligence. The
affairs of Lahore continued to require the utmost
vigilance and activity of the officers employed there.
Colonel Lawrence and his assistants administered the
Government to the best effect, and the inhabitants
had some hopes of improving their condition under
the British rule. It was stated that no troops would
be sent to the frontier station at Peshawur. Some
of the mountaineers in the Hazareh districts had re-
volted, but their forces had been routed by the young
chief called Ghoolab Singh, who, although possessing
the same name, is not of the family of the Maharaja

of Jammoo.
Old Ghoolab Singh was rejoicing in the success of
his manoeuvres. He had raised himself to a throne,
and even on that occasion he outwitted, as he sup-
posed, the British diplomatists, by inducing them to
give up.the districts of Cashmere, which he repre-
sented as being very poor, not paying more than six
or seven lacs, whereas he noor-expeuts to obtain
twenty or twenty-two from the inhabitants.
The news from Affghanistan is not satisfactory.
Akbar Khan, the son and Wuzeer of Dost Mahom-
med, had returned from Candahar to Caubul, having
one of his uncles in his company. The report of the
fight near Candahar is contradicted by accounts sent
from Caubul. The true state of Affghanistan cannot
easily be known, for all the statements circulated
respecting that country are derived from the native
writers in the pay of the Delhi Gazette, and they
dare not send intelligence from Caubul which is dis-
pleasing to the Wuzeer. The intrigues and quarrels
of Akbar Khan were not yet fully developed.
Sir Charles Napier went in the beginning of
February from Kurrachee to Hyderabad. Prior to
his departure from Kurrachee the following general
order or manifesto was issued :
" GENERAL ORDER.
" The army of Sinde is ordered to be broken up, and
the number of troops reduced, so as, in future, to form
the ordinary garrison of a frontier province.
" This, as regards the interior tranquillity of Sinde,
might have been done two years ago. But the character
of the Lahore Government and of its troops made it
necessary for the Government of India to keep an army
in Sinde.
" The danger apprehends d from the Punjaub subsided
after the victories gained on the Sutlej.
" The concentration of a large force on the Indus
ceased to be necessary.
" To the army of Sinde is due the tranquillity of this
noble province.
" To the discipline and orderly conduct of all, and the
support which die officers of this army have given to me
Eby their just and conciliating conduct towards the
people, England is indebted for the tranquil possession
of a country which the vulour of the troops bad con-
quered.
" To the abilities of those officers who have, from the
first, conducted the civil branches cf this Government,
and to their unremitting exertions in the administration
of justice, is m.° especially to be attributed the suc-
cessful administrationmire
of the province, that attachment
to the British rule, and that confidence which has been
so strongly evinced by the inhabitants of Sinde on two
signal occasions—the campaign in the Boogtie Hills and
the march of the Sinde force to Bhawulpoor. .
" But to the glory of freeing an enslaved country by
a necessary conquest, and the consequent tranquillity of
an apparently satisfied people, this army has added an
increase of revenue to the company.
" The last financial year showed that the united
ordinary and extraordinary expenses of the civil Go-
vernment of Siude (including the expense of a police
force of 2,400 horse and foot) amounted to only 15 lace
1,754 rupees.
"That the revenue for that year was 41 lacs 42,912
rupees, and, consequently, that 25 lacs were paid last
year towards defraying the military expense incurred,
not by the conquest of Sinde in 1843, but by the pre-
vious occupation of Sinde—anfil t, .the
__disturbed state of
the Punjaub.
" Previous to the conquest, the army of Shads was an
unmitigated expense to the East India Company.
" Since the conquest that expense has been reduced by
the aggregate sum of 42 lees 37,435 rupees, which has
been collected in exces of the expenses of civil govern-
ment and police force, calculating both from the battle
of Hyderabad to the present day.
" Thus, whatever the previous occupation may have
produced, the conquest of Sinde has not cost the East
India Company a single rupee, for had the Ameers con-
tinued to rule the land, not a soldier could have been
withdrawn from the force which occupied Sinde in 1842;
on the contrary, strong reinforcements must have been
added to it, divided, as it would have been, between
Kurrachee and Sukkur, with the aggregated forces of
the Courts of Hyderabad and Kyrepooor assembled, in a
central position, between the weak wings of the army of
occupation—wings separated by 400 miles of difficult
country, and incapable of assisting each other or of re-
ceiving any reinforcements during five months of every

year.
" Such a position must hare been untenable, or te-
nable only in consequence of egregious folly
on the part
of an enemy who commanded 100,000 men in a central

position.

have been any retreat.
"T h e prompt military operations ordered by Lord
Ellenborm4,h in 1843 not only saved the army of Sinde
from the faie which befel that of Caubul, but secured the
north-west frontier of the Indian empire, speaking of

"No troops, beyond the police, are now requ;ired to
preserve the interior tranquillity of Sinde. The increas-
ing revenues are thrown into the Indian treasury.
" The military charges belong to India generally, not
to Sinde more than to any other province of the empire.
" An immense increase of revenue has taken place in
Bombay in consequence of the conquest of Sinde, which
i
prevents the smuggling trade in opium, formerly oarriet
on; what may be the amount of this increase I have no
means of knowing. but it is sail to be very great.
" Commerce is already actively commencing between
ICurrachee and Sukkur, ready to branch forth into the
Punjaub when the results following the victories on the
Sutlej shall open the ' Five Rivers' to the enterprising
spirit of British merchants.

it becomes your General, who best knows what you have
done, and what you have suffered, to make kruown' on
the breaking up of this army, the things whitth it has
achieved for India, his admiration of its merits,, and his
gratitude for its assistance.
" The high military spirit which animated time force
that marched last year to Bhawulpoor was probably
never surpassed. No army was over more worthy of
India, nor more fully possessed the confidence of its
commander.
