LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1858.

The telegram from India, received at the
Foreign office, at 4.45 p.m. yesterday, and which
shortly afterwards appeared in the third edition
of The Sun, is of a very satisfactory character.
Tile treachery practised by SCINDIA'S troops was
promptly and severe!y expiated Toe rumour
referred to in our impresiion of Monday, that

Gwalior " had been recaptured, with terrible loss
to the enemy," is fully and completely verified.
It appears that the gallant Sir HUGH ROSE, to
whom the mantle of a 11A.VELOCIC seems to have
descended, captured it on the 20th of June,
another report says the1.9,.11, after a severe fight
of four hours. SCINDIA, himself, had left Agra
on the 13th June to join the Central India field
force, on its way to Gwalior. It is, therefore,
more than probable that he participated in the
triumph over his rebellious troops. The cavalry
and artillery were in active pursuit of the flying
traitors ; and it is more than probable that they
must have sustained. terrible 1,53 in the cm-
flict and the will panic by which it

was succeeded. It is reported that the
Ranee of Jhansi is amongst the kilted. This
female fiend treated Reglish women even worse
than the arch demon NANA SAHIB himself, It
was not sufficient to satisfy, her brutality that the
victims shoal -I be put to even painful arid linger-
ing deaths, but they should first be dis,Jaced and
polluted. It might be thought that a female,
however cruel, could not be guilty of such bru-
tality. It is, however, but another Llustration
of the adage, that a woman who liaa abandoned
every gentle feeling, and given herself altogether
up to vice, wilt perpetrate atrocities at which the
most atrocious miscreants of the sterner sex
would be horrifi.rd. It is to be regretted that
she was not taken alive, in order that a great
act of justice might be exhibited.
Gwalior was a strong position. The rebels
must have been. intimidated as much by the in-
justice of their cause as by the prestige attached
to the British name when they lost such a fortress
after four hours' fighting. There was also some-
thing in the presence of their lawful Sovereign, the
man whose pay and bounty the mutineers had
long enjoyed, and who, so lately deserted and
betrayed by those in whom be had placed im-
plicit reliance, must have appeared as " the
avenger of blood" before them. But nothing
can diminish the claims of Sir H. ROSE to the
national gratitude. He proved himself fully
equal to the occasion. Although his gallant fol-
lowers had been completely wore out and ex-
hausted by the toils they had already encountered
—although they had heard the glad tidings of a
brief rest after their arduous labours they
promptly, aye, joyously responded to the call of
duty, and dashed agaius.t the enemy with that in-
defatigable zeal which is the great characteristic of
the Anglo-Saxon race. Nor were they contented
with capturing the stronghold of the enemy, but
tbo cavalry and artillery were in active pursuit of
the fugitives. All this, be it remembered, was
accomplished under a tropical sun, during the
hottest season that has been remembered for a

series of years.
We also hear that Oude 13 still di3turbed. It
could scarcely have been anticipated thc.t complete
tranquillity would yet be restored in that hotbed
of rebellion, but all is quiet in Rob !le and. The
sews is, therefore, in every reapect, not only
good, but far better than could have been C'xpectad.
In China we have again taken active procacd-
ingr. The gunboats of the allied squadron at-
tacked the forts at the mouth of the Peihe,
raountiOg 138 guns, and backed by a large body
of trove. A s usual, our operations were attended
