LOODIANAH.
(From the Delhi Gazette of Jan. 7.)
LOODIANAH, JAN. 1.-It is given out that the Rajah of
Ladwa has gone over to join Runjoor Singh at Phulloor, and
that as his guns and other property were being taken over,
they were stopped by the sawars of the Nawab of Kotla,
who are on duty in the town. This happened near a village
named Maranhara. As soon as the ca e was reported, two
sahebs, with some suwars of the Raja of Patteeallah, went
out to the place. It was sion after reported that 100 of the
Runjoor Singh's men had crossed to assist in escorting the
guns of the Raja of Ladwa. Should any fight take place
between these parties; it is very likely that the whole of the
Sirdar's men will cross. The Mookhtear, who was superin-
tending the march of the Rajah's troops aed artillery, has
been seized by the British and thrown into prison. The report
of seven guns yesterday evening induced the people of the town
to conclude the Seikhs had fled. The Suwars and guns who had
been sent out to Sanoowal, have restored order and posted a
company's Thannah in the place. About three o'clock this
afternoon it was suddenly reported that the Seikhs had
again crossed, and such people as have remained in Loodia-
nah began instantly to hide their proper v; some of them
became pale and others became yellow, -o at was the con-
sternation that ensued. It was at ti!, ,au►c time reported
that Deuce Khan, the Kotwal of l .o iai nth, had been killed
in a skirmish, which occurred at Barren( harre."

JAW. 4.—" This day the Raja of Ladwa himself, with
about 200 men, and a few guns, recrossed over from the other
side of the river, with the assistance of the Seikhs there en-
camped, and took the direction of the village of Budowal,
which was in his own Jaghire. On the commencement of
tile war the British authorities had taken possession of every-
thing that belonged to the Raja on this side the river. Tue
cantonment of the BritLb is to the south aod west of the
for..; of 1,,),tr ;nal: ; the vilbige of Bu,lon ;11 is also to the west,
So th at the Siruar tioi the Seikhs who ttccompalied him passed
close to the cantonments. The first damage they did was to
set fire to the lines of the Toork Suwars, after which they
set fire to the lately built European barracks, which had
cost so much money in building. This was no sooner seen
than a detachment of the Goorkah battalion, which had
this morning arrived from Dhera, and a regiment of native
infantry, who had come to guard the place (the 36th Native
Infantry) with a battalion of the Raja of Patteealla's,
accompanied by two guns and 300 Suwars, as also the Kotwal
of the city, Marched to attack the Raja in his village of
Badoowal. The inhabitants of the place became greatly
alarmed. lam writing at two o'clock, and the fire is not yet
extinguished. It is believed all the Seikhs will cross in the
confusion which has arisen."—lbid.

DELHI.—The left wing of the 6th Regiment Native In-
fantry marched into Delhi yesterday; and were followed this
morning by Colonel Woody's detachment of ffiur companies
of European Artillery.
MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.— The Supplement of Govern-
ment Notifications, published this day, is unsually interest-
ing, as containing the first formation of the " Army of the
Sutlej ." the names of all the engineer officers summoned
to head-quarters, which will doubtless soon be followed
by a long list of artillery and medical officers ; and above
ad, the local promotions iu the royal regiments, con-
sequent on the melancholy casualties which have taken
place. These orders, received on Monday morning, enabled
us to correct the list of casualties sent hoe.e in our Overland
Summary, in regard to these regiments at least. There are
some of the appointments in these order:, which seem to us
open to animadversion, and though we are not sufficiently
behind the scenes to say how far they might have been made
less so, we must confess .that we should have thought that
Lieutenant-Colonel Havelock was the man, of all others on
the Commander-in-Chief's stair, entitled to the acting ap-
pointment which has been conferred on Colonel Gough. It
may be that the services of Colonel Havelock are peculiarly
valuable in his present office, but they cannot be so onerstie
as to have prevented his being quarter-master-general tier the
time being, especially as his knOwledge of the languages
would have been of great importance in that post.
We are much gratified to see by the general orders to the
Queen's troops, received this morning, too late for publica-
tion, that seven men have been promoted from the ranks in as
many royal regiments.
It is generally understood that some two or three addi-
tional corps of irregular Cavalry are to be organised forth-
with. They will doubtless absorb a goodly proportion of
those men now summoned by the late proclamation to aban-
don the service of the enemy. (Since this paragraph was
written, we have learned that the number to be raised is four,
to be numbered 10, 11, 12, and 13. They are to be formed
at Ferozepore, Loodianah, Delhi, and Hansee, and Captain
James Skinner has been charged with the raising of the 13th
regiment at Delhi).
The Goorkah (Sirtnoor) Battalion accompanied the 86th
in their march to Loodianah, and both regiments have
doubtless reached their destination. (It will be seen by our
Loodianah letter that they were just in time to pursue the
Raja of Ludwa).
Major Baldwin, of the 31st root, expired at Ferozepore,
from the effect of his wounds on the Ist inst., and was in-
terred with all military honours. He was a man of great de-
termination of character, and one whose bearing had a most
beneficial influence on all his subordinates. It may be
in the remembrance of our readers that some discussion took
place in our columns regarding the forage cap worn by her
Majesty's 31st. On that occasion the commanding officer
assembled the officers and called upon them to state upoaa
honour whether they knew the author of those letters?
Major Baldwin. was the first to whoin the question was put,
and asked in reply by what authority he was called upon to
answe- such a question, " when the law did not expect the
veriest drunkard to criminate himself." The reply was
deemed evasive and insolent, and the matter referred to the
Commander-in-Chief, who reproved the colonel for his un-
warra,table measures in the matter, and desired him, if we
are rightly informed, to reassemble his officers and acknow-
ledge his error.
Captain Ausea is, we learn, officiating assistant adjutant
general of the army, in the room of Captain J. R. Lumley,
who, is reported to have given occasion for displeasure; but
