CASHMERE.
The promise of tidings of interest afforded by Cash-
mere at the date of our last has not been realised, in so
far at least as those are concerned who consider (ales of
battle and of blood the only interesting tidings' India
can supply. The then formidable-looking insurrection
under the auspices of the Sheik Emauin-ood-been has
been subdued with comparatively little resistance'; and
there is at present every probability of matters returning
to such a state of tranquillity, long before the term for
the retirement of our troops arrives, as to permit the
treaty of Uniritsir to be fairly worked out. The Gover-
nor-General, the moment the defeat of the troops of
Ghoolab Singh became known to him, having made every
effort to assist in bringing about an arrangement, caused
Lieut, IL Edwardes, assistant to Colonel Lawrence, to
be dispatched from Lahore, that he might endeavour to
bring the insurgents to reason. The Lahore
IDurbar meanwhile exerted themselves to the same
end, and Dewttn Hakeim Rae, a man in higji confidence
and esteem, was dispatched on an tmbassy totA ards
G'achutere. While un his way the accounts of the re-
verse of the Jawoo Chief reach, d him, and delayed his
progress. having at length got into correspondence
with the insurgent h ader, by this time aware of the con-
fiscation of hi, property, and the arrangements made to
coerce him, arguments wore found of suffici. nt poteitcy
to extract a prouti.e of submission —seen likely soon to
be compelled. The arrangements for the movemtnt of
troops mentioned in our last had by this time been com-
pleted. The Maharaja marched out with all his array,
Brigadier Wheeler's force occupying the chief posts in
his rear during his absence, a Seikh force from Lahore
co-operating with him, :and a strong division of our
troops front the same quarter moving in concert with those
of Brigadier Wheeler. The following has been supplu d us
from an [inquest ionable source : It was quite true that the
Jamoo troops originally sent out had been worsted, bet
neither to the extent nor in the manner described; ttat
the bulk of them had gone over to the enemy is alto..
gether groundless, and the report seems to have been
founded on the fact that 500 or 600 Rohillas did tc-
tually join the insurgents. Since then the Cashmerians
has 2, on three several occasions been beaten by the Seikh
troops. Letters of the sth of October, from Cashmere, in-
timate that the Sheik, in evidence of the sincerity of his
professions of submission, has entirely raised the siege of
the fortress of Hurree Purvut. All the garrison wanted
was a supply of water, with which they will now be able
to provide themselves. With abundance of this at their
command they can defy any attack likely to be made on
them, and maintain themselves with facility till the siege
be raised, should this prove needful. There was, how-
ever, every reason to believe that the war was over, and
that there was no more risk of conflict. The Governor-
General had wisely determined that our exertions should
not be relaxed—that we should be prepared for the worst
that might occur till everything was tranquillised. Col.
Lawrence was to leave Lahore for Cashmere on the 15th,
followint, the two assistants who had preceded him, when
it was hoped a final amicable adjustment would be
brought about. It appears that so light and equitable,
compared to what it used to be, is the revenue settle-
ment we have made in the Jullunder Doab„ that the
Byot warriors, who, according to a correspondent of
one of our north-west contemporaries, were likely to
have shut us up in Cashmere, would most probably be
the very first to make a general rising in our favour
were we in danger.
