NYNEE TAL.

Many persons in England being interested in the
fate of friends at Nynee Tal, the following account
of a slight skirmish on the 18th Sept. may be ac-
ceptable
Bahadoor Khan, formerly a deputy collector in
our service, but of late self-constituted Nawab of
Bareilly, recently despatched a body of 800 wen,
under command of his nephew, Nizam Ullie Khan,
towards Nynee Tal. To meet these 300 of the 66th
N. 1., with 23 officers and troopers of the late Bth
Irregulars, and about 30 mounted " mutiniel-out"
officers were despatched. The insurgents wera at
first only allowed to see the cavalry, and seemed in-
clined to show fight, but the Ghoorkas coming up
at the 'double' the insurgents broke and fled,
pursued by the cavalry for a distance of four or five
miles. 150 of the insurgents were kil!ed, and among '
others their distinguished leader, Nizam
upon whose person papers were found giving the
names of the different chiers in the neighbourhood
who had joined in the insurrection. Our casualties
appear to have been few if any,"

The following extract from a letter received from
Nynee Tal may afford some slight satisfaction to
the fritmds of any of the offiears of the 18th 8.N.1.:
" About dearest - we are still in a state of
uncertainty, but our hopes have lately been much
relieved by the discovery of one of the officers of
his regiment (the 18th), Lieut. Gowan, the adju-
tant, who was one of the missing, a servant of his
having found him concealed in some village. He
sent a letter by him to Col. - at Nynee Tal,
giving an account of his escape, and bow he got
separated from the rest of the party after the few
well-disposed Sepoys bad saved them on the day
of the outbreak. He had gone through a great
deal, but expresses himself very thankful for the
protection and kindness he receive I horn some
Hindoos, by whom he was still secreted. He had
heard that several Europeans were in concealment
in different villages, which native spies and others
who are friendly towards the Engli•h al.q3, confirm,
and say that a banker at Bareilly has secretly sup-
plied them with money ; but while the wretched
Khan, Bahadoor Khan, who has set himself up as
the ruler or Nawab of Rohilcund, is in power they
are unable to assist the escape of the poor fugitives,
and will not allow any strangers to appro ich their
village by fear of 'their being discovered by the
bloodthirsty usurper ;' therefore it has not been
possible to learn the names or obtain the signature
of these poor fellows, and we must only endeavour
to wait patiently, putting our trust in the good
and gracious God that He will in His own good

time iestore the sufferers to their heartbroken wives
and friend 3."

ME ERUT.
The following is from Murree, dated Sept. 14 :
" We have a tale to tell of danger near us, which
it has pleased God to avert for the present. It is
the reason of my being up here. Our general weak-
ness in the Panjauh was found out by these moun-
taineers, and general plans for plundering Mu? ree
and throwing off our yoke were started. But the
population immediately round Murree precipi-
tated matters and itsaulted on the Ist ir.st., be-
fore the country were ready. Thee men ware
promised an easy victory by some villanous Hiudo-
sl inees in the cantonment, who offered to use, in
favour of the insurgent., the great opportunities
they had for murdering the English. A woman,
wife of the head of a village, however, sent word in
the evening of the Ist Sept to a man of Lady Law:
rence's guard, to whose son her own daughter was'
betrothed. Her husband was one of the rebels,
and knew not of her act. The intelligence, though
verbal, was believed. The 200 European soldiers
and 200 Punj ibee soldiers, who formed the sole
defenc.3 of the place, werecalled out. The gentlemen
were armed as volunteers, pickets were posted, and
when the assault began at 2 a.m. on the 2d, the in-
surgents were warmly met and repulsed from the
first picket. Thos checked the country generally
from joining. Those who had committed themselves
were attacked and dispersed on the 3d, having been
driven out of a strong position they took up. I came
up on the night of the 3d with reinforcements, and
since then we have been punishing those ac;ual'y
committed and quieting the mountains generally—
not being strong enough to take a very high line.
The ladies behaved well, and the men excellently.
The volunteers elected their leader, and senior offi-
cers served cheerfully under him, their junior.
There is danger, but, with God's blesirig, we may
hope to avert any more open revolt by 'vigilance
and judgment. The fall of Delhi, if granted to
us, will remove many difficulties."
