L A.TEST NEWS.

The " Pottinger" arrived from Bombay, at Suez,
yesterday evening, and the following intelligence
has been telegraphed to me.

force of 250 (?) men, with about 70 pieces of ord-
nance continues collecting supplies and means of
conveyance at Futtyghur. He is expected to more

vancing on all sides about the 25th.
The enemy are fortifying Lucknow by this time
in great strength. There are about 100,000 of
them in arms. They are said to be losing heart,
and anxious to negotiate.
Sir James Outram has bean left undisturbed
since the 16th. He was reinforced on the 22nd
by H.M.'s 34th from Oawnpore, 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 tie 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 kras 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-

FRANCE.
PARIS, SUNDAY.
A letter from Marseilles, dated yesterday, in-
fm u that for two days previously a violent
or
hurricane,s blowing from the north-east had raged
in the bay, 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
left
nday last several English families of dis-
tinction there for Marseilles, to embark on
board a vessel freighted specially for themselves
for Canton. Their object is to witness the opera-
tions of the combined armies in China. Two

THE NAVIGATION OF ITHE DANUBE•

Under date of the Ifith January, 1858, the Sub-
lime Porte has addressed a circular to its represen-
tatives at the Courts of those Powers that signed
of Paris, respecting the convention for
the navigation of the Danube.
theTTreahecit
rycialar 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 adjour n
the exchange
of ratifications until the convention
had been examind and approved by the Congress
of Paris. The Sublime Poste, nevertheless, ex-
changed the ratifications, because it felt persuaded
that it might compromise its dignity by doing so,
and that it
would not prevent the other oontrasting
Powers from carrying their point.
The despatch concludes with an examination of
the convention in question, which the Porte con-
siders conformable in all points to the principles
established by the Congress of Paris. The Sublime
Porte, nevertheless, is willing to give heed (a faire
droit) to the observations of the future Conference
if it can 1)3 satisfactorily proved that the Riverain
States of the Danube have exceeded their rights in
regulating, as
they have done, the navigation of
that river.

TIIE OVERLAND AUSTRALIAN MAIL.—The Australian
January ma'l, due in London, via Marseilles, on Wed-
nesday next, is anxiously looked for. The mercantile
community are more than usually interested in its arrival,
inasmuch as it will most probably bring details of the
effect produced on receipt of the intelligence of the late
monetary crisis here, and the failure of so many large
houses connected with the Australian trade. The general
idea in commercial circles is that a severe panic in the
colony of Victoria is inevitable, consequent on the dis-
astrous advices forwarded by the London mails of Ooto•
bar and November last, and both of which, being
despatched concurrently from Suez, would therefore, in
duo course, be delivered in Nee various colonies in the
early part of January.—Mining Journal of Fob. 2T.
