surprised the rebels under Tantia Topee, killed 400,
and took all their guns, three in number. The

towards 'Banfor, and was expected to be at Tal
Deluit. In the abovementioned action were killed
2 Europeans ; wounded, 1 officer and 5 men. All
the ferries on the Betwa were watched.

We have received information from Sir R. Napier
that on the 25th General Michel intercepted the

Kurraj; they were routed, threw away their arms,
and were driven to Khimlassa, the greater number
towards Nasoda. Brigadier Park was at Basooda

CENTRAL INDIA.

The rebels under Tantia Topee, after their
defeat on the 19th of October, fled towards Tull
Debut on the river Betwah. They seem to have
remained at that place but a short time, and
then to
,have doubled back from Suithpoora
in a southern direction, pursued by the force under
Major-General Michel. The rebel force reached
Dagrodh, on the Saugor road, on the 23d October.
On the 25th they were at •Carree, where General
Michel came up with them. They made no stand,
and fled in every direction. 600 rebels were cut
up by the cavalry. Tantia Topee after this defeat
pushed on ,with his remaining force, via Rath-
gur, towards the Nerbudda, which he crossed
between Hoshungabad. and Nursingpore on the
night of Oct. 31 and the morning of the Ist inst.
His force now consists of about 7,000 men, with
20 elephants, and a number of camels. It is re-
ported that his men arc very much dispirited. The
forces under Brigadiers Smith and Park, respec-
tively, and detached bodies of cavalry, under Lieut.
Kerr and other officers, are in close pllrsuit. The

Resident of Hyderabad has issued orders for the
assembly of a force at Omerigotty, 30 miles north-
east from Ellichpore, to assist in arresting the pro-
gress of the rebels. This force will consist of 1,200
infantry, 1,600 cavalry, and 12 guns. A force from
Kamptee has also moved out for the samc purpose.
By the latest accounts Tantia Topee was in the
Sindwara district of the Nagpore province.

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY,

The negotiations between France and Switzerland
for the purchase by the former of the Dappen-thal
or Vallee des Dappes are still pending. It appears
from advices from Berne that objections are now
made to the sale on strategic grounds. Similar
objections are made on the part of Austria. The
Austrian Military Gazette has the following on
the subject :
"If France succeeds in becoming the owner of
the said valley it will be a standing menace to our
Italian provinces, and this military line, which di-
minishes or increases the road across Switzerland
to Austria's possessions in Italy, deserves the atten-
tion of all Germany. As long as Switzerland is
mistress of the valley of the Dappes and its heights
she can close the road of St. Cergus and of the Pays
du Vaud, as also the road from France to Geneva
and Gex ; whilst, on the contrary, if France holds
the passage of the Dappes, she will have no military
obstacle from Salins to Nyon and to the shores of
the Lake of Geneva, without taking into account
that the valley of the Dappes unites the district of
Gex to the heart of France. In the 75th article
of the final Act of the Congress of Vienna (con-
cludes the article) it is said—' The valley of the
Dappes, which formerly formed part of the Canton
de Vaud, is restored to it.' Thus stands the mat-
ter, and the canton of Vaud cannot, without the
consent of Switzerland, nor the latter without the
consent of the great Powers, cede the valley to
France."
BOURSE, Dec. I.—The settlement of the Rento
account has gone on heavily, and the rate of con-

A letter from the Hague states that the Minister
for the Colonies has just presented to the Legisla-

the Ist. January, 1860, the present bill is merely
to regulate in time the manner in which that
emancipation is to take place.
