THE INDIAN ARMY IN THE PUNJAB.

The following is an from a; letter dated
Lahore, May 14-16 :
" You will of course be anxious to know about this
row. We, at Lahore, are perfectly quiet at present,
though there is no knowing how long we shall remain so.
You can fancy the excitement we are in here better than
I can tell you ; but I do not think we shall now have any
row, as we have two battalions of English artillery and
the 81st (Queen's). Yesterday morning a grand parade
was ordered, and the three regiments
o native infantry
and one regiment of cavalry were drawn up opposite to
them with only 200 yards between, the 81st was drawn up
a little in the rear of the guns, an opening being left for
them to fire through. The guns were loaded with grape
before being brought on the field, and as soon as everything
was in its place the 81st had orders to load. A procla-
mation was then read, and the Sepoys had orders to pile
their arias and the cavalry to throw their swords, B;c., on
the ground, and to march to the rear. To the astonishment
and greatly to the satisfaction of the English, they obeyed,
and the arms were then conveyed in waggons by the 81st
to the fort. I went to see the affair; it was quite expected
that they would have refused. The ring of the Eafield
rifles of the 81st, as they loaded ,must have convinced them
that, if they did refuse, it would not be taken quietly.
"May 15.-1 was just putting this in an envelope yester-
day when a mounted orderly rode to the door, saying that
the Sepoys had turned out to march to Ferozepore, where
there is a magazine of arms,Jand intend to help their brother
native regiments, then to take possession of the fort, and
that I was to go to the gaol, which is half way between the
city and cantonments. I went there with my rifle and re-
volver, but the Sepoys did not try at marching then, but
last night I hear 300 of them got off, and are on their way
to Ferozepore. Umritsir is, I am sorry to say, in their
hands, but they have not tried at burning bungalows or
murdering. Happily the Punjab regiments hate the
Sepoys and would sooner fight them than not.
" Half-past 6 a.m. (16th).—News from Ferozepore. The
10th Light Cavalry have stuck to the European troops, and
the 72d Native Infantry have laid down their arms. The
45th Native Infantry refused, and have been cut to pieces
by the Cavalry and shot by the Europeans, and orders are
issued to kill every man of the regiment wherever he may
be found. They have burnt nine bungalows and the church
there, but all Europeans are safe. One officer was wounded.
"The 300 Sepoys who got away from here yesterday have
been well punished by the Punjabees at some village on
the road to Ferozepore—report says nearly all killed.
" I open this again to say that a despatch has arrived
from Umballah. All is quiet there, and they march on
Delhi to-morrow."
