LETTERS FROM INDIA.

The following► interesting communication is from
a gentleman in India :

Calcutta, Nov. 23, 1857.
The present mail conveys to England the gratifying
intelligence of the relief of the besieged at Lecknow.
and of the safety of tine women and children, a full
account of which is given in the newspapers. The official
despatches giving the detaiis of the operations have not
been received yet, or at all events they have not been
published, and therefore all that is known is the result
aohieved at Lucknow, and that at a comparatively small
loss of officers, the return showing only four killed and
29 wounded. Highly satisfactory as this news ie, yet it
is the only cheering information that the present steamer
takes to England, for although thus far victo►ious, the
whole of Lucknow was up to the 20th not in our posses.
sion, and it is expected that our troops will yet have a
good deal to do until the whole of the town is subdued,
unless, indee4, the rebels should take to flight, which
would be a great pity, as in that case they are sere to
assemble again in other parts of the kingdom, and thus
require another pursuing column to hunt thorn down.
Tee fact is, that though Lucknow must soon fill, it will
have but little effect upon the etete of Oude, as there
are so many strongholds to which the rebels can
retire ; and as they muster in very strong numbers,
no effectual steps can be taken against thorn by Sir
Cohn Campbell until considerab:y reinforced. It
must not he overlooked that almost every place
throughout Oude has been strongly fortified by the
rebels—that each of these forts must be knocked
down ; and considering the areal extent of the country,
it must take a considerable force to achieve that result.
European troops are fast arriving, and pushe Fon with
the utmost rapidity that the limited means of convey-
ance will allow; but still, though troops are now sent
forward at the rate of 400 men a day, all these will not
be available fer the campaign in Oude alone, as it will
be necessary to place strong forces for the protection of
Allahabad and Ca aupore, which are threatened by the
mutineers of Gwalior.
The arch-fiend, Nana Sahib, has again made his escape,
and is assembling a very formidable force. It is said be
has 20,000 men of his own, with 24 artillery pieces, and
the Gwalior rebels, numbering 40,000 men, with fifty
heavy cannon, have placed themselves under the orders

of tire Nana. In addition to this force there is the
famous traitor, Doer Singh, with a large force, both
cavalry and artillery, so that altogether there cannot be
less than 100,000 men in arms against Were this
force to meet us on open field, even double their number
would not cause us the least anxiety ; hut as they divide
themselves in several parties, and threaten as on several
points—namely, Mirzapore, Allahabad, and Cawnpore
—we are unable anywhere to concentate a sufficient
force to effectually check them ; and even if we kill 100
men to each five we lose, the loss will tell more on our
part than on theirs. Tae great drawback under which we
are labouring is the want of kufficient cavalry, no that we
have no means of pursuing the rebels, who, after unsuc-
cessful opposition, generally disperse, and some weeks
after reassemble in another place, when we have to attack
them again ; and to this sort f warfare we shall have

to apply ourselves until the greater portion of our
forces arrive. Iu fact, our general position c tnuot be
considered to have improved much, and although some
of the districts are perfectly quiet, yet there is a feel-
ing of uneasiness which prevails everywhere where no
European troops are stationed.
We are completely left in the dark as to what is
going on at Delhi, and the public is actually left in
ignorance whether there is a sufficient force left there
to protect the city. The latest accouoti received from
that quarter have roused public indignation about the
mistaken leniency shown to the King and his vassals by
the officer in command, who, of course, must act under
the order of Government. Our brave soldiers said their

wives and poor children h ,ye been murdered there in

•-•
cold blood, and their mutilated remains call for venge-
ance and retribution upon the villanous as,aseins ; yet
Government will not hear to the voice of the public,
and hence the feeling against Lord Canning and his ad-
visers is very strong. Hai we had a man of proper
energy and ability at the head of affairA the rebellion
would never have been so widely spread ; but when it
was our policy to have rec)urse to stern measures, and
s•rrke terror into the hearts of our enemies, we tried
the means of reconciliation by absurd proclamations,
which bore evidence to our weakness, and showed a
total ignorance of the actual state of affairs. Indeed,
never was there a Government that knew so little of
what war going on, and so thorough:y unprepared
for restoring order. Had it not been for the

electric telegraph, India by this time would have
been wrested from us. Had Lord Dalhousie been here,

matters would never have come to an extreme crisis, for
he was a man of energy, and always ready to act

promptly, without having reference to the advice of his

secretaries. Of course, even he has his share of enemiep,
yet all admit tkat he is vastly superior to Lord Canning.
After repeated urging the Government have at last
consented to have a great military review. This took
place yesterday, and comprised about 4,000 men of her
Majesty's troops, consisting of Riflemen, Highlanders,
and regular infantry, together with the Calcutta Infantry
Volunteer Guards. The sight was extremely pleasing,
and its moral effect upon 80,000 natives who witnessed
it cannot be mistaken. When the Highlanders charged
the whole of the natives ran as if they were to be at-
tacked. As usual on all military reviews, Lord Canning,
instead of being in uniform, appeared in a plain civil
dress, though at last he has so much improved in man-
ners that at all events he had a black hat on instead of a
white one. An attempt was made to cheer his lordship,
but it was quickly subdued by some one calling out that
the life of the King of Delhi was still spared.
Calcutta was never so dull as at present. Though
the cold season has set ia, and the weather is particularly
fine, no gaieties of any kind take place, as nearly one-
half of the population is in mourning, almost every one
having to bemourn the loss of some relative or friend.
Only at Government House the usual dinner parties anti
music continue, perhaps to drown the pricks of con-
science at the mismanagement that emanated from the
Council Chamber. The guests are, however, chiefly
people from the service, who must go, for I think that
there are very few out of the service who would, under
present circumstances, accept an I avitation of Lord
Canning.

THE POLICY OF PARAGUAY.

OPENING OF THE RIO BERMEJO.

An impression prevails in this country, among those
not well informed on the subject, that the Government
of Paraguay is opposed to the development of the
national resources by means of foreign trade, and to the
opening up to the commerce of the world the numerous
rivers which flow through that republic to the Rio Plata.
Nothing can be more erroneous than this idea,
as is fully demonstrated by the late correspondence
between President Lopez and the Directors
of the Society for the Navigation of the Rio
Bermejo. The project of the society was submitted to
the Paraguayan Government, and its co-operation
sought in aid of the enterprise. President Lopez, in
his reply, assured the directors that he regarded the
realisation of the plan as a great and beneficial event For
all the ccuntries bordering on the Bermejo, and would
give it all the support in his power, conformably with
the treaty of July, 1856, between Paraguay and the
Argentine Confederation. The navigation of the Ber-
mejo fie, by that treaty, common to the flags of both
republics, and the ascent of the river has already been
made by an Argentine merchant steamer. The
support promised by President Lopez to the project
for promoting the navigation will be a new corrobora-
tion of the principles which served as the basis of the
treaty. The Government of Bolivia being equally de-
sirous of the opening of the rivers, its only port at pre-
sent being situated on the west coast, there can be no
doubt that ere long the vast and teeming inland regions
of South America will be free to the shipping and com-
merce of all nations. The Berreejo puts Paraguays in
communication with the extensive provinces of
Salta, Jujui, and Tucuman; and there are good
reasons for believing that the Pilcomavo is na
vigable • into the heart of Bolivia. The in
terior of the republic is, in fact, interlaced all over
with navigable streams, which flow into the great fluvial
artery after which the territory is named, sad which
vessels of 200 tens can ascend to Cuiaba, the capital of
the Brazilian province of Matto Grosso. The advan-
tages to be derived by the inhabitants from the opening
of these rivers are incalculable, as they would be en-
abled to exchange their tobacco, cotton, sugar, indigo,
hides, &c., for the manufactures of Europe. The past con-
duct of President Lopez, in his courteous reception of the
late Sir C. Hotham, in the negociation of the A nglo-Para
guayan treaty, and in the mission of his accomplished
son, Brigadier-General Lopez, to the courts of England
and Fiance, forbid the jdea that so desirable a boon
will long be withheld. But, at the same time, it must
be borne in mind, in reference to other negociations now
pending with regard to river navigation, that Paraguay
has the same right to courteous treatment and I
the observances prescribed by diplomatic eti-
quette as the most powerful maritime nation, and
it cannot be expected that President Lopez will
submit to he bullied without exhibiting a natural resent.
ment. His remote and isolated position does not shut
him out from a just recognition of what is due to others,
nor does it render him insensible to what is due to
himself. A little more knowledge on these heads would
prevent some very absurd mistakes which certain people
on both sides of the Atlantic fall into when they talk
about Paraguay and its affairs.

Orders were •yosterda,y received at Chatham by
Col. W. H. Eden, the commandant of the gerr:sen,
and the officers comteanding the three depot baete-
lions, directing them to furnish the following rein-

service ; the,battalion numbers 1,000 bayonets, and
is in an efficient state, and at present quartered at
Newcastle-on-Tyne and Tynemouth Castle. The
destination of the battalion is understood to be
Malta, to relieve the 71st Highland Light Infantry,
under orders to proceed overl .nd to India.
A gunner of the 9th battalion, Royal Artillery,
named James Sdrridge, was yesterday morning
flogged in the riding school at Woolwich in accord-
ance with a sentence pronounced by garrison calve-
martial, held on the Ist inst., at which he was
found guilty of robbing a young recruit of the sum
of 17s. Gl. In addition to the corporal punishment
the prisoner, who is an old offender, and what is
termed " a marked man," was condemned to 112
days' confinement in one of her Majesty's gaols.
While undergoing a former sentence of 84 days'
confinement in Fort Clarence, the prisoner, who
can neither read nor write, caused a letter to be
indited to the commandant, setting forth his sin-
cere penitence for his past conduct, promising to
become a reformed man, and earnestly entreating
a remission of the remainder of kis imprisonment.
His petition was not, however, granted, and a few
days after his liberation (only on Christmas-day
last) the robbery of his comrade was perpetrated.
A short time ago he deserted to the 99th Regi-
ment of the Lino, and had no sooner received the
bounty and a supply of clothing than he decamped
from that: regiment also. Raving been speedily
traced and brought back, lie acknowledged his de-
sertion from the Royal Artillery, was imprisoned,
and ‘iranded in the side with the letter D. Being
now pronounced irreclaimable, on the termination
of his confinement ho will be dismissed the service

non-commissioned officers and 18 gunners of the

We are authorised to state that the report of the
death of Lieut. Bateman, 64th Regiment, has not
been confirmed, and that there is no reason to doubt
that he is now alive and well.

The following appointments were made yes-

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE
UNITED STATES' NAVY.

(Front the TVashington Union. )

The first report from the Navy Department,
under the administration of Mr. Toucey, is strictly
a business d curnent, presenting a condensed, yet
complete, history of naval operations during the
past year, and offering various suggestions to pro-
mote its efficiency and usefulness. The country
feels an honest pride in the navy, originating with
its achievements in defence of the honour and glory
of the Republic, and that pride is not diminished
when prevailing peace confines its services to less
brilliant but not less useful duties. Its past his-
tory vindicates the a sertion that it has always been
equal to the public emergency, and this report con-
tains assurances that its condition now is more effi-
cient and its preparation for active service more
complete than at any former period. Mr. Toucey
has given close attention to that arm of the public
defeucl which Mr. Buchanan has placed in his
charge, and we anticipate for his continued efforts
towards its improvement the unanimous applause
of the public.
The home squadron consists of the steam frigates
Wabash and Roanoke, the sloops of war Saratoga
and Cyane, and the war steamers Susquehanna and
Fulton. These vessels, with the exception of the
Cyane, are now on the coast of New Granada and
Costa Rica, the unsatisfactory state of affairs in
those countries rendering the presence cf an in-
creased naval force necessary to protect American
interests. The Cyane has been despatched to Cape
Haytien to the relief of au American vessel and two
seamen, sized upon suspicion by the Haytien Go-
vernment.

The Pacific squadron consisted during the year
of the frigate independence, the sloops St. Mary,
John Adams, and Decatur, and the war steamer
Massachusetts. The Independence and Massachu-
setts have been recently put out of commission, and
the John Adams ordered home. The commander
of the St. Mary visited San Juan del Sur, and aided '
Gen. Walker and the Americans with him to escape
from Nicaragua. Subsequently she visited Jarvis
and New Nantucket islands to investigate the
quantity of their guano deposits. Nothing resem-
bling guano was found at either of those islands.
The squadron will be reinforced by the steam fri-
gates Merrimac and Saranac, and the sloop Van-
dalia, now on their way to the Pacific side.
The Mediterranean squadron consists of the fri-
gate Congress and sloop Constellation. The steam
frigate Susquehanna was detached from the squa-
dron, and after assisting in the attempt to lay. down
the Atlantic submarine telegraph cable, she joined
the home squadron.
The St. Lawrence, Falmouth, and Germantown
composed the Brazil squadron. The last-named
vessel has returned home, and the brig Perry will
be despatched in her place.
A sufficient force has been maintained on the
African coast to accomplish its main object, being

have been the San Jacinto, the Portsmouth, and
Levant. The latter vessel has been ordered home,
t
but the squadron will be reinforced by the steam
frigates Minnesota' Mississippi, and Powhatan, and
the sloop Germantown,
now on their way out. An
insult having
been offered to the American flag by
the Cantonese the squadron attacked the Barrier
ftohretms,
r4aziinngtir
number,he mounting 176 guns, and took
walls to the ground. These were
the strongest defences cf the Chinese empire, and
commanded the approach to Canton.
The Preble, the practice ship of the Naval Aca-
demy, made the usual summer cruise with two
classes of the acting midshipmen. The Susquehanna
and Niagara formed a part of the expedition to lay
down the Atlantic cable.

A cruise of the ordnance ship Plymouth was
made during the summer to test the practicability
of managing the heaviest kind :of ordnance at sea.
The experiments were satisfactory, and justify the
extension of this plan of armament.
A board of officers are now engaged in preparing

DEPORT OF THE ANIERICAN SECRE-

T ALT OF. WAR.

(Front the Washington &nion.)

The Report from the War I:oval-anent upon the
condition of the army, fie right arm of the national
defence, is always looked for with great interest
not only by Close connected with that branch of the
public service, but by the whole country. It is true
that when peace prevails there is no opportunity for
the display of its gallantry or efficiency, yet then is
the proper time to perfect its organivttion, and to in-
troduce every improvement likely to contribute to
ifs of c..,iency in time of war. Step by step this
process must he accomplished. Governor Floyd
does not content hiniF,elt with a narration of whit
the army has accomplished during the past year,
but throws out numerous suggestions, indicates
several steps, the adoption of which may conduce
to the great end de fired. He has evidently FS t died
the interests of the army with much care, and the
country will applaud his efforts to give to it greater
efficiency by a thorough and more complete organ,-

The report commences by stating generally the
a lequacy of the army to perform the indispensa-
ble services required of it by the Government. The
whole strength of the army as post ed consistsof about
17,984 men ; the actual strength on the Ist of July
last was 15,764. They are required to garrison 68
forts of a large and permanent character, and to cc-
eupy 70postslesspermanently established. They are
spread over au area of 3,000,00 G square miles. From
our western frontier of settlement to those of northern
Oregon the distance is 1;800 miles ; from the same
frontier to the settlement of California, via Salt
Lake, is 1,800 miles ; from the frontier of Arkansas
to Fort Tejon is about 1,700 miles ; and from San
Antonio to San Diego is 1,400 lace, constituting
an aggregate line of 6,700 miles, which ought to be
occupied, and which the department undertakes to
keep open. This duty cannot be performed by any
other agency than that of the army, and au addi-
tion to the military force is recommended of five
regiments. The army now consists of 19 regiments,
divided into 10 of infantry, 4 of artillery, 2 of
dragoons, 2 of cavalry, and 1 of mounted riflemen.
The army has been very actively and constantly
engaged in the performance of arduous and im-
portant duties. During the spring one regiment
of infantry and one of artillery were employed
in Florida. Subsequently affairs demanded the
removal of these regiments to the Territory
of K.,ns,s, and their place was supplied by volun-
inion ossef,c concentrated

tittihalretao likewise,
ov r-
nor, to repress all insubordination and to insure the
peace of the Territory. This movement, how-
ever, necessitated a very important modification
of the plans that had been determined upon with
regard to the military expedition to Utah.
The report then details the attit ode of affairs in
Utah, and the extraordinary exercise of powers
usurped by the individual who styles himself the
Prophet of the Mormons. From the first hour they
fixed themselves in that remote and almost inacces-
sible region of our Wintery their whole plan has been
to prepare for a successful secession from the autho-
rity of the United States, and a permanent estab-
lishment of their own. Of late years it is believed
they have instigated the Indians to hostilities against
our citizens, and have excited among the Indian
tribes a feeling of insubordination and discontent.
The United States have carefully avoided a collision
with the Mormon community. New officers for the
Territory having been recently appointed, a body of
troops was ordered to accompany them, merely to
establish these functionaries in t heir proper offices.
In reply to the assurances given the Mormons of the
real intention of the Government, Brigham Young
issued his proclamation, substantially declaring war
against the United States.

-Various impiovements in the organisation of the
staff are suggested. The separate independent cha-
racter of the staff corps is an error. Another defect

is the uncertain and ill-defined rights of brevet rank.
Promotion by seniority is another fault. It is pro-
posed to collect all the officers doing staff duty into
one corps, to be assigned, by authority of the Pre-
sident, to such duties as e tch may seem to be best
fitted for, also to dispense with the staff bureaus,
and give the President authority to transfer officers
to and from the line and staff. Promotion to the
rank of captain might be governed by the rule of
seniority, but beyond that by selection from the
next grade in the same aim to that to be filled.
The Secretary reiterates the recommendations of
his predecessor to prepare for infirm and disabled
officers a compaent and tranquil retreat, and for
the unworthy a substantial dismissal from the ser-
vice. A plan in detail is submitted.
Attention is called to the report of the General-
in-Ceief, and especially to the plan suggested therein
of regimental depots for recruiting.
The surveys of the different routes fora railroad
to the Pacific have been completed and the results
published. All competent judges agree that the
route from El Paso to the Colorado, besides being
the shortest of all yet surveyed, possesses very de-
cide I advantages over others in several important
particulars.
Two expeditions have been fitted out expressly
to explore tracts of country hitherto wholly una
known. The first was sent to the north-west, be-
yond the waters of the Upper Missouri ; the other
is engaged in exploring the Colorado of the West.
The various military roads in charge of the War
Department are progressing satisfactorily. On the
one from Fort Defiance to the mouth of the Mo-
jave river an experiment was made with 35 camels
to test the efficioucy of these animals as beasts of
burden and transportation through the barren and
difficult country of the great mountain range sepa-
rating the Mississippi valley from the Pacific Ocean.
The experiment is likely to be entirely successful.
