fences are to be at once destroyed, and the message
intimates that Delhi will not be a station for Euro-
peans longer than is necessary to enable the
authorities to remove the magazine ; or, in other
words, (Illy for the present year.
The sale of the Bullubgurh Irajah's guns, swords,
&c., came off at the magistrate's office yesterday.
With the exception of commissioned officers no
natives were allowed to attend the sale. The pro-
ceeds amounted to upwards of 5,000 r. Some valu-
able swords were sold (as were some of the pur•
chasers), the best description going cheap, while the
inferior weapons fetched high prices."
The Delhi Gazette, of January 27, says :

"The ex-King of Delhi is so far recovered as to
lead to the expectation of hiz trial commencing on
Tue,day next.

" Sir John Lawrence is, we hear, expected at
Delhi in a few days. The trial of the ex-King is
postponed on account of Col. Harriott's absence,
though he was expected at Delhi on the 27th
(to-day.)"

F UTTEYGHU R.
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF'S FORCE.

For the past three weeks the Commander-in-
Chief has stood fast at Futteyghur, accumulating
an enormous park, with ordnance stores, and
means of carriage for an army of 15,000 men, con-
sisting of H.M.'s 9th Lancers, 2d Sikh Cavalry,
four troops Horse Artillery, Battery of Royal Ar-
tillery, the Naval Brigade, with six 24 pounders,
two 8-inch howitzers, 8 mortars, 2 companies Mad
ras Sappers and Miners, 2 Bengal and 2 Punjaub
ditto, 9th Lancers, Punjaub Irregulars, H.M.'s
Bth, 23d, 42d, 53d, 64th, 82d, 93d, and a regiment
of Punjaub Infantry, with some 70 or 100 pieces of
ordnance. Though nothing has been said as to his
future measures it was quite plain from the first
what his plans must needs be. His rear and flanks
required to be cleared of the enemy before he could
wheel round on Ouds at Furruckabad, Calpee, and
Bareilly, and while this was being done by himself,
by Walpole, Windham, and Seaton, Jung Bahadoor
was settling Goruckpore, and establishing posts on
the Nepaul frontier of 0 ude. On tram was maintain-
inghimself at Alumbagh, and Cawnpore and Allaha-
bed were being strengthened. About the eud of the
present mouth Oude will be invaded on all side,,,
the great overwhelming force under Sir Colin
Campbell pouring down upon it from the north, the
others closing inall around. Meanwhile the insur
gents, still about 100,000 in strength, are fortify-
ing Lucknow to the uttermost. The streets are
being barricaded and the walls loop-holed every-
where. Earthworks have been thrown up, and
garden within garden strengthened, and the
haughty Bengal Sepoy, who would not touch a
basket, mattock, or spade in our service, and who
in the Punjaub mounted guard while the Euro-
peans were throwing up entrenchments, now shows
what he can do when he has no longer the indul-
gence of English officer's to fall back upon. It is
doubtless in consideration of this Sir Colin Camp-
bell delays advancing until he has accumulated an
artillery so overwhelming as to avoid as far as pos-
sible the necessity of a hand-to-hand conflict with
an enemy posted with such advantage. He is ex-
pected to march about the 25th of February, and
probably six weeks will suffice for the completion of
the Oude campaign. It is to be hoped that by May
our war-worn troops, many of whom will by this time
have been a twelvemonth under arms, will be able
to retire to cantouments, and seek rest for the
events of the coming 3 ear. Since the mutiny at
Meerut, the 6th Carabineers and 9th Lancers have
lived in their saddles, while the 34th, 61st, 64th,
and 78th, have scarcely since the same date been off
their feet, or spent three days on end when they
Were not under fire. With all the display of de•
termination, the Luckuow insurgents are said to be
losing heart. A proposition of conditional sur-
render is said to have been received, with the reply
that every mutineer would be shot or hanged, that
the rest must depend upon our mercy. The country
people are said to be friendly to us ; it is the great
Zemindars and Talookdars, the land proprietors,
and great tenants, whom we reduced to order and
obedience, that are our enemies.

General Windham arrived at Delhi en route t o
Utnballa, on the 21st January. Brigadier Hope
Grant, her Majesty's 9th Lancers, and Captain
Norman, Assistant Adjutant General, also passed
through Delhi, en route to Umballa, about the same
time.

A letter from Delhi mentions that there is very
little chance of the ex-King's recovery. He is said
to be fast sinking. —Delhi Gazette.
The relief of Saugor was made known to the
Bombay journals by the following from Lord
Rphinstone :—" By a mes Page from Saugor, dated
February 3J, we learn that Sir Hugh Rose's force
reached that place on the 3d, and relieved the fort
and station. A list of Europeans who were there
will be sent as soon as pos ible. Upwards of one
hundred are women and children. N,) opplsiticai
was met with by our force between Ratgbur and
Saugor. Twen'y rebels were hanged, besides those
executed over the gate at Ratghur. Our troops
are very healthy."
