the head), and one severely; one major and five
privates 10th Native Infantry (one since dead), and
one civilian (Mr. Kelly), severely. The whole of
the severely wounded have arrived at Deesa for
treatment. The force proceeded on its way on the
Bth ; its destination is we believe Kotah and Awah.
A party from Nusseerabad marched on the Bth
to form a junctionat Pallee with that going up from
Deesa. It consisted of two companies of the 83d,
130 mon, under the command of Major Heatly 83d,
two 12-pounder (howitzers), a squadron of the Ist
Lancers, and 153 of the 12th Native Infantry. The
whole under the command of Col. Holmes, 12th
Native Infantry.

The only news from Indore is that the Amesr of
Mehidpore, who was deeply concerned in the mu-
tiny there of the Malwa Contingent, who killed
their two officers and two sergeants, had been tried
by drum-head court martial, and blown away from
a gun. There had been many executions, both by
hanging and blowing from guns, of the Maharajah's
mutineers, and other trials were going on daily.
The Commander-in-Chief, whose departure from
Cawnpore I announced to you in my last, marched
up on the 24th of December and reached Urnoul on
the 27th. The force under Brigadier Hope Grant
detached in the first instance to Bhitoor, where it
completed the demolition of the town and the
rescue of much hidden treasure and ornaments,
joined Sir Colin Campbell in his upward march.
The country along the read was rich in cultivation,
but entirely deserted, peasants and Sepoys having
alike abandoned the Doab, seine flying to Calpee
doubtless, others to Furruckabad. From Urnoul
Sir Colin proceeded towards the Khalee Nuddee,
with the intention of crossing it at Khoodagung.
On the 30th he reached Meerunkee Serai, where
he learnt that the bridge at Khoodagung had been
blown up. A pause will, therefore, be necessary at
this point before the march is resumed on Futtke-
ghur and Furruchabad. It is only at the latter
place that resistance is anticipated, the town, which
can hold 50,000 inhabitants, being protected by a
large mud fort.

It is now asserted that Sir Colin will cross the
Ganges after he has taken Furruchabad, and that
he will march down from Rohilcund towards Oude.
A letter from agra of January Ist states that
Colonel Seaton's force went on the previous day to
Bewar, about 16 miles east of Mynpooree. The day
before he despatched Capt. Hodson with 100 horse
to communicate with the Commander-in-Chief.
Capt. Hodson found him at Meerunkee Sinai, about
50 or 60 miles this side of Cawnpore. Capt. Hodson
fell in with a large body of insurgents flying from
Etawah to Furruchabad, but he lost only one man.
Brigadier Walpole occupied Etawah on the 29th,
almost without opposition, the rebels having made
their escape the night before to Furruchabad. That
city is now the only place that remains to be re-
duced throughout the Doab.
From Allahabad we learn that 500 Europeans,
with two guns, went off on the morning of the
19th, to attack a large body of rebels who have
entrenched themselves in and about a fort on the
Jumna, some forty miles off, called Kotwah.
The Naval Brigade and two Ghoorka regiments
5,000 rebels,including
attacked l,lOO Sepoys, near
Goruckpore on the 26th ult Of the enemy, 140
were killed and many wounded. The enemy were
completely routed, the whole of their tents, bag-
gage and ammunition falling into our hands ; the
loss on our aide, but one native killed and one
wounded.

Goruckpore was taken on the 6th by the forces
under Maharajah Jung Bahadoor. The enemy had
entrenched themselves strongly, but made a feeble
resistance. Seven guns were taken and 200 men
killed. Our loss was only two Ghoorkas killed and
seven wounded.
Sir John Lawrence continues to show anxiety
for the Punjaub ; he has, it is said, written for the
Bth Hussars, and he has brought together sufficient
horses to mount that and another regiment of
cavalry. A letter from Lahore, of Dec. 30, says :
We are drilling the recruits here as fast as we can
get them. Sir J. Lawrence has already raised some
35 infantry and cavalry. The Guides who were
before Delhi returned yesterday : truly a splendid
body of men. They are marching through to their
station up in the hills, loaded with a decent amount
of booty.

The Lahore Volunteers have been broken up.
They mustered a body of 200 men. We have re-
ceived no new European troops in the Punjaub
yet. This is strange. I assure you Sir J. Law-
rence is looking out most anxiously for them, for
her Majesty's 81st and the Artillery at Meeau Meer
are worried night and day, looking after the two
regiments of Pandies. We want British troops
here, and cannot afford to be much longer without
them. Thera are 13,000 disarmed troops in the
Punjaub, and 3,000 scattered Europeans to guard
them. We have one native regiment staunch—only
one, the 21st Native Infantry, at Peshawar. nay
have retained their arms altogether to this time,
while four others had their teeth drawn.

THE CAWNPORE AFFAIR.
Sr Con Campbell has transmitted the follow-
ingsupplementary despatch to Calcutta :
To the Right Hon. the Governor-General.
Headquarters, Camp near Cawnpore,
Dee.t 020bri
20,
1857.ng
My Lord,—I have the honour to your lord.
ship's notice an omission, which I have to regret, in my
despatch of the 2d December, and I beg to be allowed
now to repair it.
I desire to make my acknowledgment of the great
difficulties in which Major-General Windham, C. 8.,
was placed during the operations he describes in his
despatch, and I recommend him and the officers whom
he notices as having rendered him assistance, to your
lordship's protection or good offices.
I may mention, in conclusion, that Major-General
Windham is ignorant of the contents of my despatch
of the 2d of December, and that I am prompted to take
this step solely as a matter of justice to the major-
general and the other officers concerned.—l have the
honour to be, my lord, with the greatest respect, your
lordship's most obedient humble servant,
C. CAMPBELL, General, Commander-in-Chief.
B. r. H. BIRCH, Colonel, Secretary to the
Government of India in the Military De-
partment.
The Governor-General has followed this up by
the general order here given:—
The Right Hon. the Governor-General in council has
received the accompanying despatch from his Excellency
the Commander-in-Chief, and hastens to give publicity
to it.
it supplies an omission in a previous despatch from
his Excellency, which was printed in the Gazette
Extraordinary of the 24th inst.
Major-General Windham's reputation:as a leader of
conspicuous bravery and coolness, and the rceentation of
the gallant force which he commanded, will have lost
nothing from an accidental omission such as General
Sir Colin Campbell has occasion to regret.
But the Governor-General in council will not fail to
bring to the notice of the Government in England the
opinion formed by his Excellency of the difficulties
against which Major-General Windham, with the officers
and men under his orders, had to contend.

The following General Order has been published :
Headquarters, Camp Cawnpore, Dec. 9, 1857
Officers commanding batteries and troops in the Royal
Artillery must conform in all things to the usages and
orders of this army as regards supply, organisation,
management of horses, native servants, &c.
Doubtless there are many points which are new to the
officers of the Royal Artillery, and perhaps in some
reform may be desirable; but this is no time for change.
Hereafter the Commander-in-Chief, under the instruc-
tions of Government, will receive any representation
that may be made by the officers of the Royal Artillery,
but in the meantime the service must proceed accord-
ing to the orders and precedents of that service with
which the Royal Artillery has been lately associated.

Deputy-Adjutant-General of the Army.
By order of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief.

Adjutant-Gener, 1 of H.M. Forces in India.
