Sia,—A paragranl4, beaded "Telegraphic Difficulties,"
appearing in the Daily News of this date, states that
messages for Lisbon, if written in English, are trars-
lated into French for transmission to Paris, into Spanish
for transmission into Spain, and int) Portuguese for
transmission into Portugal.
The paper from which you have extracted this para•
grg.pli has, however, been misinformed, for despatches
for. France, Spain, or Portugal can be written either in
English, French, Spanish, or Portuguese, and no trans-
lation whatever is made en route.

By the use of the Morse system of telegraphs the ne•
cessity for translation, and the consequent liability to
error, are avoided, and this company daily receives and
despatches messages in s'l the languages above-men-
tioned.
Fearing that the public might hesitate to submit their
messages to the trying ordeal indicated, I have ventured
to trouble you with this tlrpiariatiou,—l am, Sze.,

so as to shell the town and fort.

The enemy offered no tesistance, and the city

EAST INDIA HOUSE DISPATCH.
MON DAY, JUNE 28,
Received the fulltmving Message, dated Malta

TO J. D. DICKENSON, ESQ., INDIA HOUSE, LONDON,
BOMBAY PRESIDENCY.

Serious disturbances have occurred at Gud-
duck, in the Dharwar Collectorate ; the out-
break was 11,.-I,d3d by Born Bas, of Moon-
derger, and the Desayce of Hembgee, who ob-
tained possession of the port of Fowul (qy.)
of treachery ; the chief of Nurgoond was suspected
of Lein deeply implicated. The acting political
agent, Mr. C. T. Mattson, attended by a few
horsemen, proceeded rapidly to the Nurgoond dis-
trict, in the hope of restoring order, when he was
treacherously attacked on the night of May 29,
by 800 mil, • headed by the Chief of Nurgoond,
and killed with all his escort. It being
greatly feared that the disaffection would
spread all over the Southern Mahratta country,
reinforcements have ben ordered to proceed
immediately to Belgaum and K. lapt.or ; in the
meantime it is h ,ped that the outbreak has been
r---r•Tv. repressed. A Madras co:umn under
Major Hughes, June 1, took the fort of o,pal by
assault, and among aLe slain were Bheem Rao
and the Dessaye ; on the same day Colonel Mal-
colm, with a light Bombay detachment, arrived
at Nurgoond, and stormed the town. On the next
day he occupied the [fort ?], which was evacuated
during the night. A pursuit of the Chief was then
commenced, and intelligence has just been receivLd
that the Chief was captured by Mr. Southern, the
Superintendent of Police, on June 3.
