INDIA.

By extraordinary express, in antieipation of the
overland mail, we have received letters and papers
from Bombay to the 12th ult. The following is
from the Bombay A'tanclard of that date :
THF LAST REBEL CHIEFS. . .

The rebellion, as represented by Tantia Topee,
Feroze Shah, and their adherents, in various parts
of India, is now at the lowest ebb. We no longer
hear of large bodies of insurgents marching through
the disaffected districts. The pursuit to which these
men have been subjected, the hardships they have
endured, appear to have completely disheartened
them. The large bands have separated. The chiefs
are in concealment, and, like the lowest criminals,
are hiding their identity under assumed names.
Since Tantia Topee arrived at Kerowlee, where he
is said to have assumed the name of Ram Singh,
nothing certain has been heard of him. Letters
from Jhansi, however, speak of one Jeet Jung
having appeared on the 26th of Feb., with 200
followers, before Garrota, ohe of the forts captured
by Sir Hugh Rose in the last campaign in Central
India. It is not impossible that Jeet Jung and
Tan tia Topee, alias Rain Sing, are one and the same
person. Since Feroze Shah reached the frontier of
Bhopal with the Rao and Adil Mahomed, he has
also gone into concealment, while the Rao and Adil
Mahomed proceeded towards 13hilsa with a band
reduced to 1500 men, put to flight a body of newly
raised Sebundies belonging to the Maha-
rajah of Gwalior's army, and took from them
four unserviceable guns. From Bhilsa we learn by
a telegram, dated Indore, March the 6th, that they
turned north-eastward through Seronj, and took
refuge on the 4th in the jungles of that place.
Frightened by the approach of a detachment under
Colonel Rich, they fled again, across the Grand
Trunk Road towards Beora, leaving behind them the
four guns taken near Bhilsa. Colonel Somerset lay
with his brigade at that time near Beora, and
Colonel De Sails, who has succeeded Brigadier

Smith, was at no great distance on the Parbuttee,
26hnear Bursud. In the Banda and jaloun districts
the rebel chiefs who for months have held out there
remain as yet unmolested, themandoneofthe
Hus-
munt Sing, Sirdar of Rewah, succeededon
of February in surprising and murdering Mr.
Evans, Chief Engineer, and Mr. Limnell, district
engineer of the Jubbulpore and Allahabad Railway.
A detachment of her Majesty's 97th Went out from
Kirwee to the scene of the murder, which is 24
miles from the latter place. In Berar, the rebels ,1
having. been completely rooted out, there remains
nothing further to be done. Sir Hugh Rose has
accordingly returned to Ahmednuggur. The
troops are all going into summer quarters. Colonel
Call, with the head-quarters of the Royal Irish,
branched off for Sholapoor from Hingolee, and the
remainder of the troops were pouring into Jaulnah ,
as fast as they could, en route toPoona and (as far as
regards the officers) to the Hills. Six companies of
the Royal Irish are to garrison Jaulnah until Ma-
dras
troops can come, but as the latter are at Hin-
golee and dispersed all over the country, it may
remain a Bombay station for some time to come.
Barracks are about to be built in the cantonment
for a large number of Europeans.
