• The following telegram from Acting Consul
General Green was received at the Foreign-office,
Feb. 14, 8.30 p.m.:—

" Alexandria, Feb. 10.

The Pekin arrived on the Bth inst. She brings
Bombay dates to the 23d ult. The force under Sir
James 'Outram at Alumbagb, 4,000 strong, was
attacked by the enemy on the 22(1 December, on
the 12th January, and again on the 16th January,
when, on each occasion, the insurgents were de-
feated with heavy loss of men and guns, and al-
most without a casualty on our side.
Sir Colin Campbell, with a force of about 8,000
men left Cawnpore on the 24th December, and
secured a large quantity of treasure at Bithoor.
On the 27th he attackel and defeated the enemy
on the Khoree Nudee. On the llth January he
took possession of Futisoheim (1), the enemy
leaving their guns, baggage and ammunition behind
them.

Troops are now being pushed through Scinde
into the Punjaub. In the course of next fortnight
Sir J. Lawrence will have obtained a reinforement
of 3,000 to 4,000 men ; he has already provided
horses at Lahore to mount the cavalry on their

A strong column, under Brigadier Roberts, is

ous position, and subsequently moved on with the
Commander-in-Chiefs force. Hewould be no or-
dinary loss to his country, and it is to be hoped
that his wounds, though severe, may yet be curable.
That same night the rebels abandoned Futtehgurh,
and crossing the river, retired towards Lucknow,
leaving all their heavy guns in position. The light
field-pieces they managed to take away with them.
Cs the following morning Sir Colin occupied Fut-
tehgab, and opened communications with Colonel
Seaton's force, the movements of which it is now
time to follow.

3,000 or 4,000 men, a large pre
were cavalry, arrived at Gaugheree, pn its way to
Futtehgurh. They had scarcely been alnoamped 2
hours when a large body ad the enemy's cavalry,
unaware of the reinforcement which had come up
during the night, appeared in froi2
t of our camp and
prepared to attack it. Instantly el':
e Carabineers,
Hodson's Horse, and some Horse ArNierY
went
at them, and drove them off in confusion. e_. heavy
fire was almost immediately opened on our adv2llc-
ing horse, from two 6-pounders and a 9-pounder.
The Carabineers at once prepared to charge them.
As they advanced, three charges of grape were
poured into them at 150 yards, which told fearfully.
But our gallant troops were not to be daunted ;
they pushed on, charged home, sabred the gunners,
and seized the guns. The enemy lost in killed
alone between 400 and 500. The Carabinoers lost 25
horses out of 70, and our other cavalry in a nearly
equal proportion. Our loss in men was 12 killed
and 50 wounded.
On the following day, Col. Seaton pursued his
Tiarch towards Futtehgurh ; on the 18th he found
the enemy at Puttialee, a town about 60 miles north
west of Futtehgurh. When within three miles of
their position Col. Seaton halted and formed his
line. The Horse Artillery he placed on either
flank, the cavalry on the right and rear. He then
advanced. As he came on, the enemy opened fire
from a battery of twelve guns, which they had
formed in front of the town. Our artillery replied,
and under cover of their fire the infantry advanced.
But the enemy did not await the charge of the
"thin red line." Our light guns sufficed to silence
their artillery, and then it was settee qui peut. Our
Horse Artillery and cavalry dashed on with a cheer,
and completed the rout. Their guns, standing
camp, ammunition and supplies were all captured,
and 700 or 800 men were killed. The rebels were
on this occasion commanded by Ahmed Yar Khan
and Mohson Ally, two Mahommedan Zemindars,
whom the Nawab had appointed Lient.-Governors
of the eastern and western districts of Futtehgurh.
It is almost needless to add, that they were the first
to fly ; one of their subordinates, Hakinsjee, was
not so fortunate. He fell into the hands of our
army, was tried as a traitor, condemned, and shot.
Our loss was almost nominal. This victory opened
the road to Futtehgurh. On the arrival of the Com-
mander-in-Chief at that place on the 2d January,
Col. Seaton, who had on the 27th December re-
occupied Mynpoorie, after a brief contest, was able
to open communications with him, and we era ex-
pecting to hear every day that a junction has taken
place between the two armies ; it is thought that
they w:11 thoroughly clear the Doab, and then
move into Oude.
We must return for a moment to Cawnpore, to
recount the movements of another Brigade which
has likewise been doing good service. When Gen.
Windham was removed to Umballah, the Cawnpore
command was made over to Brigadier Inglis : there
were left with him to guard Cawnpore the 32J,
34th, and 88th Foot, with the faithful remnants of
the Lucknow Native Corp,. Another Column,
consisting of two battalions of the Rifle Br: gad',
the 38th Foot, Bouchier's Battery, Blunt's Horse
Artillery, Ist Punjaub Cavalry, and 9th Lancers,
proceeded, under the command of Brigadier Wal-
pole, towards Etawah en the 18th December :
they have been engaged in settling the intervening
country, and restoring our authority in the vil-
lages the inhabitants of which had given themselves
up entirely to plunder. Another Column under
Brigadier Grant has remained at Bithoor ; they,
too, have done good service, in recovering much of
the Nana's property from wells and other hiding
places. A large portion of it had been entrusted
to the care of a prostitute in the village of Lail-
' pore ; this, too, has been recovered, principally
through the activity of Captain Thompson. Alto-
gether it may b© said that the Doab—that is, the
country lying between the Ganges and Jumna—is
in a fair way to be pacified. This once accomplished,
Oude, as yet triumphantly insurgent, will be taken
in hand.
Proceeding lower down, we have Gan. Frank's
two columns still holding Jimnpore and Azimgurb,
an I awaiting the movements of the Commander-
in-Chief to make their advance. On the north-
east Jung Bahaeloor is moving staadily on Gorusk-
pore. That able minister stipula+erl, Lefore he
would march to our wsis lance, that a European
officer should be at'ached to each of his regiments.
This was acceded to, and a bevy of oflic ri of all
