DELHI.

Our latest advices from DSlhi are not encouraging.
Gen. Barnard was waiting reinforcements on the morning
of the 17th, li %ling repelled several sorties with success
and inflicted severe loss upon the rebels. The following
despatch has been received from the General, relating the
success on the Bth ult. :

" Cantonm June 8.
" Sir,—The forces under Delhi my command marched from
Alipore at 1 a.m. this morning, and on reaching Baidlee
Same found the enemy strongly posted in an intrenched
position, which I have the satisfaction to inform you we
carried after an engagement of about three-gnarters
of an hour, and proceeded to take up our present position,
which we found to be over disputed ground the whole way,
and finally a well-defended line of defence from the signal
tower to the Hindoo Rao house. Our troops behaved with
the greatest gallantry and persevering endurance, and after
facing very determined resistance drove the enemy within
the walls of Delhi. All this was accomplished by 9 o'clock
in the morning. Oar loss has been comparatively trifling,
only one offioer being killed ; but I regret to say that alert
is Colonel Chester, Adjutant-General to the army, who

titulars of our loss, or capture of guns, but I fears cannot
estimate the formeetinder from 43 to ISO killed; the num- •
ber of guns taken to be about 16 or 18. •
"I do not in this hurried despatch attempt to recom-
mend any one, but I cannot pass over the assistance I re-
ceived from Brigadier Wilson, whose cool judgment en-
titles him to an equal share of any merit that may be given
to the officer in command. From the Brigadier-General
and staff of the army attached to we and from the divi-
sion staff I received every support, and from my personal
staff, Captain Barnard and Lieutenant Turnbull, the most
daring devotion. The conduct of the Ghoorka Battalion,
the Sapper?, and other native troops employed was most
praiseworthy. They vied with their Emropean comrades
in forward daring; the troops of the native contingents
did equally good service, including those of the Jheend
Rajah; and I cannot close this without especial notice of
many gentlemen attached to the army in civil capacities,
who not only accompanied us into the field, but did
every service the extended nature of our position ren-
dered particularly important in keeping up mutual com-
munications.

" I hope to send you a fuller detail to-morrow. Our
siege train is up, and I hope to open on the town with.
out a moment's delay. . .
