The " Pottinger" arrived from Bombay, at Suez,
yesterday evening, and the following intelligence
has been telegraphed to me.
The Commander-in-Chief, at the head of the
force of 250 (1) men, with about 70 pieces of ord-
nance continues collecting supplies and means of
conveyance at Futtyghur. He is expected to move
on. Oude will be invaded by was3e3 of troops ad-
vancing on all sides about the 25th.

The enemy are fortifying Lucknow by this time
in great strength. Thera are about 100,000 of
them in arms. They are said to be lasing heart,
and anxious to negotiate.
Sir James Outram has been left undisturbed
since the IGth. He was reinforced on the 22nd
by H. M.'s 34th from eawnpore, a convoy of
stores. A party of Rifles have taken up a post on
the Lucknow road, one march from Cawnpore,
where they will remain to keep open communi-
cation.

Sir H. Rose, with Central India Field Force,
captured the strong fort Ratgurh on the 29th, the
enemy hiving
escaped over the walls. He re-
lieved Sangor on the 3d, and released about 100
Christian women and children. The garrison had
been shut up for six months. The Rajpootana
Field Force captured Avas on the 23d ; it was
the strongest town in Rajpootana. The garrison
escaped over night in a frightful storm of thunder
and rain..
The cultivators busily employed everywhere
cultivating their winter crops, and the revenue
being collected in the districts around Delhi as if
nothing had happened. The 72d Regiment ar-
rived at Bombay on the 7th, and the 18th Regiment

FRANCE.
PARIS, SUNDAY.
A letter from Afarseilles, dated yesterday, in-
forms us that for two days previously a violent
hurricane, blowing from the north-east had raged
in the hay, and caused serious uneasiness for the
ships expected in that port. The wind had blown
the previous night with unexampled violence. All
business in the port was suspended during 24 hours.,
and scarcely a steamer dared enter or leave the
harbour. The wind finally shifted to the east, and
an improvement in the weather WAS expected.
A letter from Lyons, dated yesterday, informs us
that on Sunday last several Engli,h families of dis-
tinction had left there for Marseilles, to embark on
board
objectted specially

iaili for themselves

tions of the combined armies in China. Two

blished Church accompany them.

Tho subjoined telegram bas just been received

THE NAVIGATION OF ITHE DANUBE.
Under date of the 16th January, 18.55, the Sub-
lime Porte has addressed a circular to its represen-
tatives at the Courts of those Powers that signed
th 3 Treaty of Paris, respecting the convention for
th„ navigation of the Danube.
The circular states that the Ottoman Govern-
ment ratified the convention under the conviction
that it deserved and would receive universal
approbation. It expresses surprise that the
Ambassadors of France and of England,
backed by those of Russia, Prussia, and Sar-
dinia, should have eagerly solicited it to adjoui n
th E) exchange of ratifications until the convention
had been examined and approved by the Congress
of Paris. The Sublime
changed the ratifications, because it felt persuaded
Porte, nevertheless, ex-
that it might compromise its dignity by doing so,
and. that it would lint
prevent the other contracting
Powers from carryin-
g their point.
The despatch concludes with an examination of
the: convention in
question, which the Porte con-
sidrs conformable in all points to the principles
( stabl idled by the Congress of Paris. The Sublime
Powte, nevertheless, is willing to give heed (a faire
drivit) to the observations of the future Conference
it it can b 3 satisfactorily proved that the Riveraiu
States of the Danube have exceeded their rights in
regulating, as they have done, the navigation of
th t river.

II'HE OVERLAND AUSTRALIAN MAIL.—The Australian
Jae nary ma 1, due in London, via stlarseilles, on Wed-
nesi day next, is anxiously looked for. The mercantile
con annuity are more than usually interested in its arrival,
inai much as it will most probably bring details of the
effo 3t produced on receipt of the intelligence of the late
monetary crisis here, and the failure of so many large
ho iises connected with the Australian trade. The general
ides in commercial circles is that a severe panic in the
colony of Victoria is inevitable, consequent on the dis-
ast;rous ad vices forwarded by the London mails of Octo
bee and November last, and both of which, being
des patched concurrently from Suez, would therefore, in
due course, be delivered in the various colonies in the
ear! iy part of January,—fining Journal of Feb, 27.
