waiting, and of course•most wisely, for the siege-
train from Phillour, having nothing but field
pieces with him. Dotibtless the delay in the cap-
ture of Delhi has been unfortunate. It has led
to the open mutiny of ,several rotren-hearted regi-
mentg, a fact- in itself, perhaps, causing no great
loss to the State, saving where Europe in life was
taken. But let it ber,nn.mberad that the game
to be played tut at Delhi is one of which it is im-
possible to overestimate the value of the sakes,
and one, therefore, not to be lightly taken in hand,
nor to be conducted Otherwie than in a cautious,
if also in an alert and vigorous mood. I have no
fear that the blow wilt be struck soon enough for
the security of the empire. And when the retri-
bution has come, es onme it surely will, when the
puppet King of Delhi is taken or slain, when
the streets of his capital are choked with dead, and
every English hayonet is bent and bloody with the
strife, then you will hear of the ghastly tales of the
atrocities perpetrated in the accursed city, unsur-
passed in kind, as will I think appear, by anything
recorded in the history of the cruede,t sack of a
captured town, and will rejoice that your MUT-
dered countrymen and countrywomen are fully if
fearfully revenged.

force cantoned at Secund-rabal, close to h's capital,
to entertain a thought of revolt. At Kam ptee, in
Nagpore, a regiment of the newly-raised contin-
gent sh ,wed unpleasant symptoms, but the regu-
lar Madras troops are there in force, and are
thoroughly to be depended upon. Indeed, the'want
of sympathy betweeti the Bengal and the 111.‘dras
armies amounts to positive hatred. I read the other
day in an Eng ish paper of eminence that the divi-
sion of the whole force in India into three distinct
armies is " a clumsy anomaly." That may be so ;
but the clumsy anomaly had tile strenuous support
of no less able a man than Sir Thomas Munro, and
I much question whetlFT it has not in this emer

remains perfectly stanch, so does the separate army
of Runbay. The latter, indeed, from its position
in regard to the disturbed provinces, is able to give
something more ihan a mere passive d splay of loy-
alty. Not only have Lord Elphinston and his coun-

We (Times) havereceive,d 'from our corre-
spondent at Bombay the ko*ing admirable de-
scription of the state of as iin India at the date
of the Overland Mail cvliiel arrived late last
night :

From the Examiner.—"A novel full of attractive incident. Few
of our novelists can paint the trials of life, of fennae life especially,
more skilfully and affectingly than the justly popular author of this
tale. Mrs. Woman's Story' contains many delightful
sketches, and is a I•leasant, sensible, wel-written, healthy book,
most fl• for seaside reading on a summer's day. Its interest, how-
ever, is of an enduring kind, and it will rssuredly add to the author's
high reputation as a e rit r of fiction."

"BOMBAY, JUNE 28.
" The departure of the mail, which was fixed for
yesterday afternoon, has already been postponed
till to-morrow morning, and will very probably be
still further delayed in the hope that it may be
able to convey to you certain intelligence that the
stronghold of the revolted soldiery of India is in
the hands of the avenging army. For, although a
fortnight has passed since I closed my last letter,
and although we were even then expecting each
hour to hear that the blow struck under the walls
of Delhi on the Bth had been followed up by the
reduction of the city, I have still nothing stronger

cnt'a two out of the four English regiments on t'•o
Bombay establishment, but on three several po'nt,
in Central India and the Punjauh Bombay columns,
each comprising a portion of native troops, have
marched, and with the best effect. The Ist Fit4liers
and the Ist Belooch ba,,talion have proceeded up
the Indus from Kurrachee to Mooltan, portions of
the Queen's 83d and the 12th Native Infantry, with
three Horse Artillery guns, have reachPd Ajmere
from Daeea, and General Woodburn's column from
Poonah is advancing upon Mhow. The progress of
this latter corps up to this time may be traced in
some detail. Malligaum, on the great high road
from Bombay to Indore, was the rendezvous.for.the
troops of,tbis column. There is stationed the 19th
-11ttive Infantry, and thither proceeded the 3d Ca-
valry of the Hyderabad 'Contingent from Aurunga-
bad by a bad cross-road of 100 miles, which, how-
ever, they got over in a couple of days. So far all
was well, and General Woodburn, with his dra-
goons, 25 11 Native Infantry, and Artillery, had
reached Ahmednugger from Poonah on their way
across the country to Malligaum, when he heard
that the Ist Cavalry of the Hyderabad Contingent,
which had succeeded the 3d at Aurungabad, was
in a state of mutiny. So, instead of turning off
to Malligaum, he took his troops straight on to
Aurungabad, attacked the mutinous part of the
regiment, some 150 in numbnr, dispersed them,
and captured about 60. The ringleader, a noted
native officer, was hanged at once. Whether any
when were executed I have not heard. From
Aurungabad I imagine the General will proceed to
Mhow by the Ajunta Ghaut and Burhampoor,
calling the troops at Malligaum across the country
to join him before leaving.
We have not been without our little alarms
either in Bombay, or in Poonah or elsewhere. But
no outbreak has taken place (for this Mahomedan
riots at Broach some time back, though ending iu
bloodshed, arose only out of a local quarrel between
that people and the Parsees), nor did any sensible
person doubt the fidelity of the native troops, but
only the temper of the loose population of the ba-
zaars. At Poonab, the station was patrolled nightly
by parties of the 14th and 12th Lancers. At Sat-
tara, a man employed as a peon or chuprasSie in
Government employ was apprehended and handed
over to the authorities by a party of the 22d Native
Infantry, with whose loyalty he was endeavouring
to tamper. He was hanged, " game to the last,
and uttering passionate bursts of disaffection. A
troop of the 14th and a company or two of the 3d
Europeans went down from Poonah to aid the 22d
in case of a rising in this important and so lately
independent Mahratta city.
" A few words before I close this long letter as
to the steps taken to obtain additional means of co-
ercion. The left wing of the 86th (County Downs)
is coming over here from Aden to join the head-
quarters. Two of the Peninsular and Oriental
steamers still in the' overnment employ have left
for the Mauritius to ask for the loan of the sth Fu-
sileers, or for the 33d, if it shall have reached the
island. If this request is refused they go on to the I
Cape to see whether Sir George Grey can spare us
a regiment or so. The troops on their way to
China will, it is said, be stopped at Singapore, with
consent of Lord El4in, and sent up to Calcutta.
The whole press of India has been placed by an
Act that has iecently passed the Legislative Coun-
cil under a censorship—a step imperatively called
for by the indecent and disloyal manifestations
of joy at our difficulties which appeared in
some of the native prints at Calcutta. Here there
has been, to my kuowledge, only one instance of
the kind, and the writer, a scoundrel of a Parsee,
received such a rating from our superintendent of
police—an iron functionary equal to the occasion
—th,t he is not likely to offend again. •
" General Outram has returned with Colonel
Lugard and other Staff officers from Bushire, and
the Persian prisoners have left Bombay for that
post. Lord Elphiostone is here, hard-worked, but
well ; the Commander-in-Chief of India is still at
Poonah. Sir Patrick Grant, by the way, has ar-
rived at Calcutta, and taken command of the Ben-
gal army. The late Colonel Chewer is succeeded
by Brigadier Chamberlain as Adjutant-General,
and he, again, by Colonel Nicholson, another of
Sir John Lawrence's strong men.

than rumour whereon to base the announcement

of that anxiously expected consummation,—ru-
mour, indeed, explicit in character and widely
.diffused, reaching us from several quarters at a
greater or leas distance from the scene of action,
but lacking that certainty and official confirmation
ft om Agra or its neighbourhood which I think it
must, if true, have before this received. Making
every allowance for the interception of the tele-
graphic ccmmunication with Agra—the wire being
cut somewhere in the Gwalior country—and fir
the interruptioris that are probably attendant i 6
certain districts upon the dawk traffic, the Bombay
public is still beginning to doubt, for want of sub-
sequent corroboration, the . report which at first it
so readily believed. This, however, is the story :
Delhi was stormed and taken on the 12th, with
great-slaughter to the mutineers, the remnant of
whom took refuge within the Palace, the lofty but
decayed walls of which could afford them but a
temporary refuge. The-Poonah Observer, from a
private source,' accomplishes their destruction on
the 14th ; but this assertion, as unsupported,
I mention with distrust; and this is its history.
Mr. Harvey, the Commissioner, writing to Agra on
the 13th from Pulwul, in the district. is assured'
that the place fell under the circumstances above
detailed on the day previous. His letter is circu-
lated in Agra on the 16th ; its contents reach In-
dore (why so late I know not) on the 24th ; and
thence, the line being in working order as far as
that capital, are immediately telegraphed by the
Resident to Lord Elphinstone. This was the most
reliable source of the rumour which, however, had
reached us from other sources, and was also a
matter of current gossip in the bazaar. I trust that
it is true, but I dare not assert that it is, nor even
that f believe it, or that others believe it to be
more than the forecast shadow of the coming event.
May the event come quickly ! Of the discomfiture
of the mutineers by General Barnard, on. the Bth,
telegraphed to Bombay in time to find a place in
my last, we have since received such details as a
hasty despatch, written after the action to the Com-
mander-in-Chief, can afford. Marching from Ali-
pore at 1 in the morning, the General found the
enemy intrenched in a strong position or line of
positions covering Delhi. By 9 o'clock he had
carried the whole of them in the face of a stubborn
resistance, and had driven the mutineers within
the walls of the city, upon which be was intend-
ing to open with his heavy artillery, without a
moment's delay. The Ghoorkas, Sappers and
Miners, and other Native troops engaged (irregulars
I believe) behaVed admirably, as did the contingents
furnished by the tributary Rajahs. One
officer only was killed, Colonel Chester, Adjutant-
General of the army. The general loss is not men-
tioned, but is stated as comparatively trifling. On
the following day, the 9th, as we learn by a notifi-
cation issued from the Judicial Commissioners
office at Lahore, a sortie of the mutineers took
place. They were attacked by the cavalry of the
Guides, which had joined the army, and driven
back to the walls by a brilliant and successful
charge, in which however, the commandant, Quin-
tin Battye, fell mortally wounded. Upon the re-
pulse of this sally we may presume that the siege
was pressed with renewed vigour, possibly to the
capture of the place on the 12th ; but I confess I
am prepared to hear that complete success was not
quite so readily attlined. The Generals, Reed and
Barnard, might find it advisable, I imagine, to thin
the numbers of the insurgent soldiery andOwns-
people by a sustained fire of shot and shell, previ-
ous to committing their small force to the despe-
rate chances of a storm and a street combat.
"JULY 1.

" But to complete the catalogue of mutinies
and disarmings known up to the present moment.
When I closed my hat I c dculate4 that, in one
way or another, some 28 regiments of regular in-
fantry had ceased t•-) carry arms for the Company.
I now count upward of 40,—perhaps as high as
46. In Itohilcund lobably all the four regiments'
are gone, certainly -Ole two at Bareilly—the 18th
and 68th, with the Bth Irregular CsvAlry and a_
company of Native Foot Arcillery. Most of the

'tion 'ol'lc ynee Pal or elsewhere, but-the Brigadier;
Sibbald, is said to have fallen, and many diiilians
are missing. Cawnpore, we believe, has been saved
by the arrival of the 84th and of the 64th, the
latter from Bombay. But the 12th Native In-
fantry has mutinied in Bundlecund, and at Allaha-
bad the 6th Native Infantry, which had been loud
in its protestations of loyalty, and of its desire to
be led against Delhi, rose and murdered Captain
Bird, the Fort Adjutant, and all the Europeans
they could lay hands upon. The rest took refuge
in the fort, where they are still in safety, the muti-
neers having marched for Delhi. At Benares the
37th Native Infantry mutinied on an attempt being
made to disarm them. Joined by the 13th Ir-
regular Cavalry and the Sikh Regiment of Lood-
hiana, they killed Captain Guise, of the cavalry,
and attacked the guns of the European company
of artillery, but were repulsed by a discharge of
grape, and by the resolute attitude of a handful of
the Queen's:l3th and of the Madras Fusilieeis. At
Azimghur the 19th mutinied, and shot their Adju-
tant' Lieutenant Hutchinson. At Ghazeepore
the 65th has been disarmed. At Jaunpore the
detachment of the Loodhiana Regiment followed
the example of the head-quarters at Benares, killed
Mr. Cappage, the civilian, and badly wounded
Lieutenant Mara, their commanding officer. All
this in the Benares district. The rest of the Dina-
pore division has been quiet, with the exception of
one deplorable occurrence at Rohnee. Major Mac •
donald, Sir Norman Leslie, and Dr. Grant, three
officers of the sth irregular Cavalry, were attacked
one evening when sitting Lin the verandah of the
Major's house. Sir Norman was killed on the
spot, and the other two severely wounded. The
assassins, at first supposed to b© disbanded Seyops,
belonged, it now appears, to their own regiment,
and have been given up for execution by their com-
rades. The Barrackpore or Presidency division, as
you will hear more 'fully from Calcutta, was so
much agitated as to render it advisable to disarm
all the troops at head-quarters, consisting of the
2d, the remaining three companies of the 34th, the
43d, and the loyal 70th, which the authorities,
with the treachery of the 6th before their eyes, pro-
bably thought ' cloth roteet too much.' Our 78th
Highlanders, so lateltily hieing,. Persi «guns at
Khooshab, and the companies 'the brought
up from Ceylon, superintended th . ceediugs.
At Calcutta the native militia was armed and
volunteer corps raised. The King of Oude was
arrested, and his alleged complicity with the rebels

being pressed at home by the august ]ady in the
New-road.

of the troops indicated in the above list, as far down ai tho

directed to the events connected with the remainder of the

hive broken out into open violence up to the date of our

We have indicated by an asterisk those stations at which
the women and children of our countrymen have fallen
into the hands of the soldiery, and it is better to draw a
veil over the barbarities they endured from these merciless
fiends. At the remainder of these stations the officers
were murderously assaulted, the bungalows fired, and at
most of them the treasuries looted. Our columns will be
found to contain many detailed accounts of the Meerut,
Delhi, Lucknow, Nusseerabad, and Neemuch massacres,
reported in few words by last mail, and we pass on to the
consideration of the mutiny at Benares At five o'clock on the evening of the 4th the brigade was
ordered out for the purpose of disarming the 37th Regi-
ment, who were known to be disaffected and in correspon-
dence with people in the city. The men were ordered to
appear on parade without their arms. Some companies
obeyed and did so, but others refused to give up their
arms and commenced firing at their officers. This ap-
peared to be the signal, for the rest of the regiment then
ran to the begs of arms; the guns, however, began to pour
in the grape so sharply upon them, that they were glad to
beat a retreat ; only a few of the most determined rebels
still kept up a fins from the right wing at the officers. The
Sikh Regiment all this time remained quiet on parade,
passive spectators of the scene, but at this crisis they
loaded by order of Colonel Gordon. An ominous change
then came over them. The cavalry first turned, and then
with the Sikhs poured in a deliberate volley on the officers
standing around, three of whom fell. The artillery in re-
turn gave them a shower of grape, which sent them flying
off the parade.
About 100 of the mutineers were killed, and 200
wounded; the rest bolted, throwing down their arms. The
mutineers of the Sikh regiment tried to capture the guns,
and were thrice repulsed with great loss. Only a few men
of the irregular cavalry and Sikh regiment stood firm ; all
the rant mutinied ; their discomfiture was complete, thanks
to the bravery of 180 European soldiers, who defended the
guns, and charged and shot down the mutineers. Eight
only, instead of 35 as reported, of these brave soldiers
were killed and wounded. The lives of the civilians and
their families who had taken refuge in the collector's cut-
chery were saved by the presence and noble exertions of
Soorut Singh, a Sikh prisoner. He it was who went
among the Sikhs of the treasury guard, and prevented them
from rising after they had heard how the men of their
corps had been cut up, and by his influence they were kept
at their post until the next morning, when the treasure
was removed to cantonments under an escort of Europeans.
I The portion of the Sikh corps over the treasury remained
staunch.

" Turning back to the North-west, we pause for
an instant in (Nide to see the gallant and able Sir
Henry Lawrence griinly busy in hanging the mu-
tineers at Lucknow, -with loaded field-pieces and
lighted port fires on either side the scaffold, and to
hope there is no truth in the report that he has
been forced to abandon the capital, and fall back
upon Cawnpore. Pass rapidly through the Doab,
nothing new has happened to detain us, though it
will take an army from Allahabad or Cawnpors
one of these days to restore it to tranquillity.
Crossing the Sutlej we find, as I have already inti-
mated, Jullunder deserted by its native forces, the
6th Light Cavalry and the 36th and 61st Native
Infantry; and Phillour Vacated by the 3d. Through-
out the Punjab the flying column, of which the
nucleus and main strength eve the 52d Light In-
fantry, has been doing its work well. Nu further
outbreaks have taken place. Many mutineers
have been hanged or blown from guns at Peshawur,
Ferozepore, Lahore, and Mooltan. Near the first
of these stations, the 64th Native Infantry have
been disarmed ; at the last, the 62d, 69th, and a
native troop of Horse Artillery. Of the march of
the Bombay Fusileers, I shall speak presently.
" It remains to consider the position of the
great tract of Central India to the southward and
westward of Delhi, with its numerous independent
chiefs. Approaching the district from the north,
I have first to note that the contingent of the
Jheead Rajah has been doing true and loyal ser-
vice under the walls of Delhi. In
his neighbour-
hood are the British stations at Hansi and Hissar.
Here the Hurrianah Light Infantry
battalion has
mutinied, killing, it is feared, Lieut. Barwell, and
other Europeans. The levies of the Rajah of
Bhurtpore to whom was committed the charge of
keeping open the road open between Delhi and
Agra, proved faithless,
and their officers, Captains
Nixon and Munbee, of the Bombay army, scarcely
regained Bhurtpore with their lives. The Ulwar
Horse are, it is feared, equally false. The Kotah
contingent was at the latest dates still loyal, posted
between Agra and Muttra with two guns. Of the
United Malwa Contingent the
cavalry regiment
has gone. Despatched, the head-quarters of it,
from Mahidpore to follow up and attack the Nee-
much mutineers, itself mutinied, slew the officers
—Brodie and Hunt—and, returning to camp, en-
deavoured, but iu vain, to induce the infantry and
artillery to follow:their example. The other wing
stationed at Indore abandoned their quarers, but
without commi-ting any act of violence. Ajmere
is !safe, garrisoned partly by the flying Bombay
column from Decca, partly by the Mhairwarra bat-
talions. The deserted station of Nusseerab has
been reoccupied by the Bombay Lancers. But
what is Scindia doing ? This is a question of grave
moment, and one not readily to be answered at
present. We know that the 7th Infantry Regi-
ment of his contingent mutinied at Neemuch.
We know that the telegraph wire has been cut
near Seepree, and all regular communication
with Agra, beyond Indore, interrupted ; and we
have reason to believe that both at Seepree and at
Augur the regiments of the contingent have
risen. lndeed, I know that fears are enter-
tained
ofin thethe
contingent (which consists of fourinformed quarters that the
whole
companies of artillery, two regiments of cavalry,
and seven of infantry) have turned against
us, with the exception of three companies which
garrison the isolated fort of Asseeghur in this pre-
sidency. Then, what will Scindia do ? Will he
be allured into believing that our power is on the
wane, and into declaring against us, or will he, at
the head of such troops as may remain faithful, re-
sist the strong temptation, and oppose disloyalty
even to the death ? Like his fathers before him,
he is a sturdy little Mahratta ; he is young and
active, riding his fifty or sixty miles a day when
rincliajumped off his

occasion, when his then newly-raised Artillery

The British station of Mhow, in its immediate
neighbourhood, is garrisoned in part by the head-

the other wing mutinied at Neemuch. It is, how-

bay column from Poonah will probably keep it so.

seem, however, to have been perpetrated upon the unfor-

ment Nizarn's Cavalry at Aurungabad, which took place
on the 16th instant. We are happy to believe that no Eu-
ropeans were killed, however, and General Woodburn's
moveable column, whisk fell in with the mutineers on the
23d, utterly routed and dispersed them.
The mutiny of the Bhurtpore Levies, under the com-
mand of Captain Nixon, and that of the Malwah Contin-
gent of Mebidpore, have come to supplement our difficul-
ties. The former troops were supposed to be actuated by
the best feelings towards us, forming part of the body
guard of his Highness the Maharajah of Gwalior. " Im-
mediately the news of the Neeruuch disturbances reached
Captain Nixon he set out with the Bhurtpore Levies, ac-
companied by Captain Gore Munbee, of the Bombay En-
gineers, who, though senior in army rank. to Capt. Nixon,
waived all etiquette in the matter, and placed himself
under that officer's command. They had only proceeded a
couple or three marches, when the men refused to be taken
against the mutinous Bengal Seyoys, and set the authority
of Captains Nixon and Munbee at defiance. These offi-
cers had to fly for their lives, and in doing so passed
through districts where they were frequently fired
upoa by the insurgents, and, after many hair-breadth es-
capes, were fortunate enough to get safely to Bhurtpore,
where they now are, neither of them having, we rejoice to
say, sustained any injury." The infantry and artillery of
the Malwah Contingent are said to have remained loyal,
the cavalry metiuying on the march to Neemuch and mur-
dering their officers, Lieutenants Brodie and Hunt.

" I had written thus far when I found that the
mail steamer would be detained till this afternoon.
We have bad further news from Delhi—news cor-
rective of the above report, and corroborative of
my doubts of its truth. Whatever else may be
uncertain, that Delhi was not taken on the 12th of
last month is perfectly certain. It was still in pos-
session of the mutineers on the 16th, the date of
our latest accounts from the army. On the 13th or
14th a second sortie was made from the city, in
which the mutinied 60th late of the Umballah
garrison, took a leading part. Like that of the 9th,
it was repulsed with severe loss, and on this, as
on the former cccasion, the gallantry and conduct
of the Corps of Guides was eminent. I find that
not only, as I supposed, the cavalry of the corps,
but also the infantry, are with the army, the latter
having been brought down from the Punjaub on
camels. The cavalry made the astonishing march
of 750 miles iu 28 days. It were well if the Gene-
ral commanding could get a few thousand men
like these, for of reinforcements be is sorely in
need, and for want of them be was, on the 16th,
pausing in his attack. By the 21st, however,
he would, it is thought, receive a considerable
addition to his strength in the European troops
of the Jullundur Brigade, set free to act beyond
the limits of the station by the mutiny and flight
of the native portion of the brigade, the 6th Ca-
valry, aed the 36th and 61st Infantry, who rose on
the night of the Bth, and were chased out of can-
tonments till they dispersed. The Bth Foot, Major
Olpherts' troop of Horse Artillery (first-of the Ist
Brigade), and the head-quarters of thelst Battalion
of Foot Artillery, are thus rendered available in
whole or in part ; and from Ferozepore, since the
mutinies and the disarming, her Majesty's 61st is
able to spare a wing for Delhi, and two companies,
I believe, of artillery. It is in the latter arm that
the besieging force is especially weak, while the
rebels are actually said to have no less than 150
guns in position. True, theyhave very few artillery-
men, only one company, to work them, but even in
the bands orSepoys the great guns may do a good
deal of mischief. Their number may be exaggerated
but it is to be remembered that the rebels have the
great arsenal of Delhi in their undisputed posses-
sion. You will be anxious to know what number of
the insurgent soldiers has collected in Delhi, while
Generals Reed and Barnard were waiting fel- rein-
forcements. On the 16th, according to the Judicial
Commissioner of Lahore (the best authority now-
a days, for the telegraph is in working order be-
tween bis city and the camp before Delhi), ' 3,000
of the rebels were encamped outside the Ajmere-
gate, and the force of the mutineers in Delhi ap-
pears not to exceed a few thousands, even with the
addition of the 60th Native Infantry and some
others who have lately joined them.' There is a
vagueness in this account which, though perhaps
inevitable, is unsatisfactory. The phrase ' some
others is, it maybe feared an elastic one. Allowing
thab the mutineers of Jullundur and Phillonr
(where the 3d Native Infantry have risen). are un-
able to reach the revolted cspital, still from Allaha-
bad and even Benares, in the south (of which more
presently), and from the Rohilcund stations in the
east, there is nothing to prevent the rebellious
Sepoys arriving at the point to which it
is known they were tending. Not that I
think this consideration a discouraging one. On
the contrary, I regard it highly satisfactory that
the revolt has chosen for itself but one centre,
for, that annihilated, it is utterly broken.. Only
knowing the vital importance of this conflict to
which our generals are committed, the smallness
of the force under their command—which, even
with reinforcements, will hardly, I imagine, reach
6,000 men—the great extent of the city (five or
six miles from north to south), its populousness,
and the fact that on the eastern or river side it is
now entirely open to the mutineers to receive men
or supplies from the Doab,—we must not mur-
mur against our chiefs if some days yet elapse
before we hear that the place is taken. Already
have appeared symptoms of this hasty and ignorant
criticism. Poor General Anson was accused of
' culpable inaction till A Wad found- he had been

REGIMENTS MUTINIED, DISBANDED, OR
DISARMED.
(From the Bombay TimeB of July 1.)
It is extremely difficult to compress within the limits of
our summary the details which have reached us in the 1 st
fortnight concerning the mutiny of the Bengal army. It
must suffice to say that the rebellion is universal in that
division of the Indian forces, and that it has been thought
necessary to disarm the very corps (the 70th Native
Infantry) which was publicly thanked by the Governor-
General in person for its loyalty only three weeks ago,
while the 6th Regiment Native Infantry at All•thabad,
which had rivalledit in its expressionsof attachment to the
Government, has risen upon its officers, and foully mur-
dered them.

It is with deep gratification that we turn fur a moment
from the consideration of these painful events to notice the
fact that not a symptom of disaffection has appeared as
yet in the armies either of Madras or Bombay, which
manifest the most perfect loyalty in the presence of this
dangerous example ; and which repel indignantly every at-
tempt that has been male to seduce them from their alle-
giance by emissaries from the Bengal troops. A statement
found its way into the Calcutta papers some time ago to the
effect that the 10th Mfuli 24 Native Infantry had refused to
receive the cartridges in Burnish, but we have looked in
vain for any confirmation of the news.
Let our readers glance down the subjoined list of regi-
ments which have either mutinied, or been disbanded or
disarmed within the last two months, and they will pro-
bably understand the crisis that has overtaken us than by
any comment we can 'hake :

The disarming of the troops at Calcntts, Barrackpore,
and Mooltan was simply a measure of prudence, called for
unquestionably in the present emergency, and probably
hastened at the two former by Governmental intelli-
gence which has not been made public. We simply know
that the ex-King of Oude is implicated in the business, and
has been arrested by the Government, and all his retainers,

Concerning the mutiny at Cawnpore, wears also in much
uncertainty. Part of her Majesty's 10th Regiment and a
battery of European artillery were fortunately on the spot,
and a repetition of the tragedies at Bareilly and Shajehan-
pore prevented. There seems, however, to hwe been
several days' fighting, but the mutineers were eventually
driven out of the place. Many on our side are said to
have fallen.
