INDIA-HOUSE DESPATCH.

The following additional telegram has been since
received at the India-house. It will be seen that a
considerable portion of the intelligence arrived by

the last mail :

CALCUTTA, DEC. 10, 1857.

" The Commander-in-Chief, having relieved the

Lucknow garrison, returned to Cawnpore with the
women, the wounded, and the State prisoners, 23
lace of rupees, and the King's jewels ; also, all the
guns worth taking away. Sir James Outram had
been left with a strong division at Alumbagh, in
the vicinity of Lucknow. All the women and chil-
dren from Lucknow, and most of the wounded,
have safely reached Allahabad.
" On the 26th General Windham attacked and
routed the first division of the Gwalior Contingent,
3,000 in number, which had arrived near Cawn-
pore, after crossing the Jumna at Calpee, taking
all their guns except one light field-piece.
" On the 27th November the main body of the
Gwalior Contingent entered the civil station of
Cawnpore, and burnt down the

of three

of our regiments. They were repulsed, with severe

a -
loss, in an attack they made on our entrenchments
on the 28th Nov. The Riles captured two of

;heir 18-pounders.

The 64th Regiment suffered severely.

" Brigadier Wilson was killed. Sir C. Campbell
reached Cawnpore on the evening of the 28th of
Nov. He despatched the women and wounded
towards Allahabad on the 3d of December, and
on the 6th he attacked and completely routed

the Gwalior Centingent, pursuing them for 14

miles along the Calpee road, and capturing their
camp, 16 guns, and an immense quantity of

ammunition, park stores, grain, bullocks, &c.,
with all their baggage. Our loss was insignifi-
cant. Gen. Hope Grant pursued the fugitives of
the Gwalior Contingent, and came up with them
as they were beginning to cross their guns over
the Ganges at Sera Ghaut. He attacked and

totally routed them, capturing 15 guns, and all
their stores and ammunition, without himself

losing a man.

" Sir Henry Havelock died on the 25th of

November.

" TheJaunpore frontier having been threatened
by a large body of rebels, Col. Lrngden fell back

on Jaunpore. He was immediately reinforced by

European troops. This had a great effect ; and
up to the Bth December all was quiet on the

rontier. Co!. Franks has been appointed to

command the troops there.
" The Rewali troops have twice defeated the
Myhere rebels, capturing the forts of Kunchyn-
. pore and Zorab.

" Mehid pore was attacked by rebels on the
Bth November. The Contingent behaved badly,
and their officers were forced to escape. The

rebels captured all the guns and plundered the

cantonment. They wore, however, pursued by a
portion of the Hyderabad Contingent Cavalry,'

under Major Orr, and on the 12th of November
were cut up after an obstinate fight, leaving 100
dead on the field. All the guns and plunder were

retaken.

" Colonel Durand, with the column from Mho w,
advanced on Mundesore on the 23d of November.
The rebels were attacked and defeated with heavy

loss. Five of their guns were captured. Nee-
much, which was threatened by these men, has
thus been relieved, and the remnant of the insur-
gents, who still hold the fort of Mundasore, are
much dispirited. Killed—Lieutenant Red rnayne,
her Majesty's 14th Dragoons. Wounded—Lieu-
tenants James, Martin, and Prendergast.
