The English mails of the 25th of Deceinber ana
3d of January have arrived in camp, or rather a
few letters of those dates have reached some
fortunate Rechabites.

FEB. 4.
The messengers started with despatches and
orders for Brigadier Horsford at 12 o'clock yester-
day, and will reach him by riding night and day
in the course of this morning.
It would seem that the rebels, according to the
official reports of the Nepaulese authorities to their
Government, were in force at several points not far
from the magazine at Pewthana. The sepoys and
soldiers paid for such grain and animals, goats and
sheep, as they required, but their camp followers,
like our own, were disorderly, plundering won't.
drcls, whom no severities could check, and se these
latter by their violence and robberies had driven
the Nepaulese villagers from their homes. The
general in command had applied for aid, as he had
only 400 or 500 sepoys of the revenue department
available for the protection of the people. It ap-
pears that the Begum is somewhere in the neigh-
bourhood of the rebel camp, for she has made efforts
to open a correspondence with the Maharajah, but
the Nepaulese have refused to forward her letters.
The fortress of Doonia Gurree commands the inner
passes, and the soldiers stationed there have boon
ordered to let neither Begum nor followers enter.
The Nepaulese Government have acted with per-
feet good faith so far, and appear determined to
adhere to the threats and promises of their procla-
mation. The sepoys are described as being. despe-
rate, " If we must die let us die by the hands of the
Ghoorkas rather than those of the Feringhees."
I understand that the Maharajah of Nepaul
(Dhiraj) has expressed to Lord Canning the high.
senso he entertains of the generosity of the British
Government in permitting the rebels to find an
asylum in his kingdom, and of the honour done to
Nepaul in treating it as a powerful neutral State.
He goes on, however, to express his apprehension
that if the British troops do not enter Nepaul and
co-operate with the Ghoorkas in expelling the
enemy, the latter, thinking Nepaul a safe place of
shelter, will assemble in such thousands as to re-
quire a large army for their destruction. His Ma-
jesty's reasoning is not very clear, for if the
Ghoorkas act against the rebels there can be no
misunderstanding on the part of the latter as to the
nature of the asylum. The Rajah of Nepaul, how-
ever, obviates all doubt by a formal demand that
the British troops under Lord Clyde should come
and kill the rebels,but that they shall not kill cows
or bulls, or hang any rebels inside his territory. He
frankly acknowledges that his force is not suffi-
ciently strong to prevent the rebels making attacks
on the British territory, and so that he cannot pro-
perly respond to the confidence expressed by the
Governor-General in his previous letter respecting
the security of the frontier. The Maharajah ex-
presses great indignation against those unfaithful
Sepoys who not only were " untrue to their salt,
but showed no mercy to British ladies and children."
But he warns the Government that all operations
must be concluded by the 16th of March, or the
malaria of the Terai will terminate them by killing
ouritroops. In conclusion, the King, in considera-
tion of " my faith and religion," asks the British
Government to issue orders to the troops not to
ssize upon women and children and take them away
forcibly, but let themremain in Nepaul, or go where
they please.
Although the Maharajah expresses great detes-
tation of Dhondia Punt (Nana Sahib) he does not
seem to have taken any step for his seizure, though
he says he has warned him that he can receive no
asylum in Nepaul.

FEB. 4, AFTERNOON.
P.S.—The Commander-in-Chief is much better
this morning. Sir Hope Grant, attended by Col.
Hagart, Captain Biddulph, 8.A., Major Walseley,
R.E., and Captain Wilton, KB., came into camp
this morning from Bingha, and will take up his
quarters as chief of the Oude force in some con-
venient place in the city till the Dilkoosha is ready
to receive him.

Two companies of the 38th Regiment have been
ordered from Newabgunj Barrabankee to the bridge
at Byram Ghat.
Horsford, leaving his carts and heavy baggage,
sick, &e., behind him, is to enter Nepaul to-morrow
or on the morning of the Gth at furthest. The mail
is just about to close.
