FROM MAJOR•GENERAL LESTER.

From Belgauw, Thursday, 31 Juue, 3.5 p.m.
Fort of Nergoond occupied by Colonel Male Jlin at
ball-past eight o'clock yesterday morning without oppo-
sition, the enemy having evacuated and fIA.
Malcolm just starting in pursuit. He reports all arms
to have done right well the previous day.

The following is from the summary of the Bout-
bay Times :
The capture of Calpee, by Sir Hugh Rose's force, is
the chief evout of the fortnight, our troops in Oude and
Rohileund being engaged in a wearisome attempt to end
the war there. The numerous bodies of independent
rebel forces collected in these provinces, and the desul-
tory nature of their movements, make the duty of the
troops (x'remely harassing, white the result of their in-
cessant marching and counter•niarching seems all but,
inappreciable. The game, however, is in Sir (3ollu
hands. He is wise, perhaps, to risk nothing, and as the
enemy is everywhere beaten in detail, the final check-
mate may impend more closely than we imagine.
Romeo:Tsp.—Hardly was the Shabjehaupore garrison
relieved by General Jones's column, on the 13%12 May,
than the rebel forces driven from BAreilly, appeared
in the neighbourhood of the, former city in such numbers
that Sr: Colin Campbell himself, having provided for the
safety of Bareilly, advanced to th t aid of his lieutenant,
and reached Sbahjehanpore on the 17th ult, with the fol-
-I,wmg reinforcements :—Her Majesty's 64th Regiment,
the Belooch Battalion, her Majesty's 9th Lancers, the
Lahore Light Horse, Ist Punjaub Irregulars (one troop),
Tomb's troop Horse Artillery, Le Mesurier's Company
Royal Artillery. On the afternoon of the 18th a sudden
attack was made upon our advanced pickets, but nothing
resulted ; and on the 19th a cannonade was kept up by
the enemy from a distance. Sir Colin seems to have
waited for the junction of Brigadier Coke's column,
which was effected on the 22d, and on the 24th, as we
learn by telegraph, he attacked the enemy and drove
him back upon Mahomdie, and through it, but
with what further result we are uninformed. During
the five ov six days of inaction we have related
a very large force of the enemy seems to have lain
in hie front, their headquarters being Mahomdie, a
strong fort, ten or twelve miles distant, where the
Begun, the Moulvie, Khan Bahadoor Khan, Prince
Force° Shah, and many other rebel notorieties, were
gathered together.
CENTRAL INDIA FIELD FORCE.—Calpee was in-
vested on the 16th May, aryl captured on the 23d,
Brigadier Maxwell co-operating from the left bank
of the Jumna with Sir Hugh Rose's force. The
following telegram gives us all the information we
possess on the subject :

"On the 22d inct., the rebels attacked the front and
right line of Sir Hugh Rose's force, at his camp Agow-
lee, on the Jumna, in large numbers and with great de-
termination. Sir Hugh Rose's right, being hard pressed,
the Camel Corps was brought up, the rebels were charged
with the bayonet, and put to flight. Sir Hugh Rose's line
then moved forward, and the rout became general. Calpee
being their last retreat, the sepoys had sworn to destroy
Sir Hugh Rose's force. On the morning of the 231
inst., Sir Hugh Roee marched from Agowlee against
