have received the following telegrams from Bom-
bay and Calcutta, via Trieste :

TO TUE HON. THE SECRET COMMITTER

The operations of the Commander-in-Chief are
to be directed in the first instance against Futty-
ghur. One brigade will be sent Akberpore, Eta-
wah, and Mynporee. The main column will
move against Futtyghur.

The districts under Mr. Sapte are reported to
be threatened.

The Drlhi column, under Co]. Seaton, reached
Allyghur on the 12th December.

The 7th Hussars are ordered from Benares to
Allababad.

The Commander-in-Chief was still at Cawnpore
on the 19th inst. The rebels on the Jaunpore
frontier have broken up into several parties, only
five or six thousand men remaining in their old
position.

Brigadier-General Franks is at Jaunpore ; he
has beeu reinforced with artillery and Europeans.
The Azimghur frontier is threatened by rebels,
who have taken possession of several villages
Brigadier-General Franks is to march immediately
to Azimghur, to make a demonstration in that
quarter. An attempt made by Sepoys to cross the
Gogra into the Azimghur district was defeated by
our police and the neighbouring villagers. Bri-
gadier Franks is not to enter Oude, but to confine
himself for the present to the defence of the
frontier.

A large force of rebels and mutinous Sepoys is
said to have assembled at Selimpore, in Gorruck-
pore, near the border of the Chuprah district.
A part of the women and children of the Luck-
now garrison has left Allahabad for Calcutta. The
remainder will soon follow.
Sir James Outram still remains with his bri-
gade at Alumbagh. The enemy in force are op-
posed to him, but they have sot ventured to
attack his position, although when the latest
accounts, dated 17th December, left, an attack was
expected.
A Gooikah column of about 9,600 men, under
Maharajah Jung Babadoor, has left Nepaul for
service in the British territories. It was to have
reached Segowly on the 22d instant. Colonel
Macgregor, from Moorshedabad, will accompany
the force as military commissioner, with the rank
of brigadier-general. The c lumn will proceed iu
the first instance to Gorruckpore.
Colonel Durand reports that the Shah Ladah
and the remnants of his force were taken pri-
soners in the Mokundra Pass by the troops of the
Bok Chief and the Bheels. The .whole country
has now turned on the Wil Tijutees (?). The
captuie of the Shah Ladah requires confirmation.

There has been an &mule at Kotab. The
troops intercepted a letter from the Rajah to Col.
Lawrence, inviting him to send a force to Kotah-
They attacked the palace, and seised the minister.

Holkar's regular cavalry and infantry were
quietly disarmed on the loth of December, in
the presence of the Mkow column. The Dunbar
have promised to punish the guilty.
Sir Robert Hamiiton assumed charge of the
agency on the 16th of December. From Madras
another column will move via Nagpore ox Jub•
bulpore, and may, in case of necessity, be brought
onwards as far as Saugor. It is hoped that this
force will restore tranquillity in the Saugor and
Nerbudda territories.

A telegram from Delhi reports the defeat on
the 16th of November of the Joudpore Legion,
numbering 6,000 men, by Showers's moveable
column. All their guns, six in number, were
captured. Colonel Gerald was killed.
