Calcutta to give the benefit of bis valuable expe-
rience to Lord CANNING. This would be another
solution of the problem, which would reflect the
highest credit on the noble earl, and entitle him
to the thanks and gratitude of ithe entire corn-

munity.
We have also that which was clearly the foun-
dation of the rumour respecting Agra having
fallen into hands of the rebels, which, considering
the number of fugitives, between 5,000 and
6,000, who had there sought shelter and protec-
tion, would have been a calamity of the most fear-
ful character. It appears that eight Europeans
were besieged at a small place called Arrab, in
the vicinity of Dinapore. After the quelling of
the mutiny in that place, when no less than 800
of the rebels were about down by eight com-
panies of H. M. 10th Foot, one hundred and
sixty men of that regiment were dispatched to
relieve the parties so painfully circumstanced.
Along with them were an equal number of H. M.
37th Foot—probably two companies from each
regiment. Unfortunately they failed in their
object, and were defeated with "heavy loss."
This is very deplorable ; but still it is nothing to
what would have been the case, had Agra fallen
into the hands of the rebels, with more than
5,000 fugitives, chiefly women and children.

It is also stated that General LLOYD has been
removed from his command, and that General
OUTRAM has received the appointment for the
Dinapore and Cawnpore districts.
As a measure of precaution probably, the 63d
N. I. had been disarmed at Berhampore, and also
the Governor-General's body guard. This was
a necessary precaution that ought to have been
earlier taken. " Better late than never 1"
Another fearful massacre may have been averted
by this measure. It will be borne in mind by
our readers that it was at Berhampore, which
is within 120 miles of Calcutta, and 9 miles of
IVloorshedabad, the Rajah of which has been ac-
cused of joining in the conspiracy, that the first
symptoms of disaffection were manifested on what
has turned out to be the important question of
the " greased cartridges." There dees not, how-
ever, appear now to be Much danger in these dis-
tricts. The gallant HAVELOCK has crushed the
hopes of the rebels in these districts, and we
trust that the speedy fall of Delhi will complete
their discomfiture.

It is impossible to conclude our observations
on the existing state of affairs in India, without
once more referring to the question of the Red
Sea Telegraph. From a letter which will be found
in another column, it will be seen that the East
India Company have applied to Mr. MARSHMAN
to know upon what terms the Red Sea Company
will be prepared to lay down the line of telegraph
to Kurrachee. Much valuable time has, however,
been wasted, and a golden opportunity forfeited.
The Company could have obtained the Atlantic
cable on board ships prepared to convey
it at once to its destination, at a very
moderate cost. With a fair and reasonable
guarantee, the money would at once have been
forthcoming, and we might have had communi-
cations with Aden before the close of the present
year. The ill-advised letter of Sir W. O'SHAUGH
NESSY materially damaged the prospects of the
undertaking, and the Board of Control, as usual,
procrastinated. The sanction of the Government,
the indispensable basis of operations, was thus
wanting, and it is by no means surprising that
even more stringent terms are now required. There
can be no doubt respecting the practicability of
the scheme, or of its vast, we might almost
say vital importance. The Directors and pro-
moters are naturally disgusted at the vacillation
and delays that have already taken place. They
will not victimise themselves for the sake of the
public, and if the telegraph be worth having, it is
unquestionably worth paying for. The terms on
which they will enter on the undertaking are con-
tained in Mr. C. L. PEEL'S letter, and we are
certain that they will be considered fair and mode-
rate by every disinterested and unprejudiced per-
son. It is the " Circumlocution-office " that could
alone procrastinate on such a matter, under the
peculiar circumstances of the case.

Another telegram has since been received at
the Foreign-office. It is far more discouraging
than what had previously come to hand. It
announces the retreat of the gallant HAVE-
LOCK on Cawnpore, in consequence of serious
illness that had broken out amongst his
troops. The extraordinary labours which they
had sustained, their 'indefatigable exertions
required a little rest ; and disease had broken
out in his camp that required him to place
the invalids in a secure position. The cholera
was telling fearfully on the exhausted heroes.
Never had men more faithfully and suffi-
ciently discharged their duty. And we may
well make allowances for trials more than
human beings could bear. This unfortunately
leaves the gallant garrison at Lucknow still in
jeopardy. We trust, however, that adequate
means may be devised for their rescue, ere
it be indeed " too late." It is by the Suez
telegraph that the retreat of General HAVELOCK'S
retreat has been announced. The telegram itself
is as follows .

the Kitig of PRussiA, and it may be that the
Chevalier BUNSEN, for he was present as the
King's Aide de Council, will become the EUSEBIUS
of the Berlin Council, and describe again the
" divine effulgence" with which the rays of
Royalty dazzled the assembled Divines. Why
should not Royalty, beaming on the delegates of
modern Protestantism, seem as magnificent to
those who bask in its favour as in the times of the
founder of Constantinople ?
All our readers may not have been aware that
the King of PRUSSIA and some busy English Bap-

tists and Independents, with Sir CULLING EARD-
LEY, of Exeter Hall notoriety, and Dr. STEANE, a
Baptist Minister at Camberwell, at their head,
have been for some time engaged in getting up
this Protestant Council at Berlin. It is not easy
to come at the motives of all the parties con-
cerned. The two Englishmen just referred to have
for some years been active in bringing all cases of
Continental Popish persecutions for reading and
teaching the Scriptures under the notice of the
English public and government, and it would of
course be a great point gained if the name of the
King of PRUSSIA could be used everywhere as the
patron and protector of Protestants of every creed.
Ho would have a natural right of remonstrance
on behalf of every Protestant Church which he
had welcomed to Berlin. Naples or Tuscany, for
instance, could hardly deem it intermeddling if
he pleaded for Italians guilty of reading GoD's
word, when he had invited to Berlin all who con-
sent to take the Bible as the rule of their faith.
And if, on the one hand, the friends of the
persecuted are glad to get the King into a posi-
tion which renders him their natural champion,
the King himself, on the other hand, may have
strong political reasons for wishing to assume
that position. It is something to be at the head
of Continental Protestantism, and the patron at
the same time of American and English Protest-
antism, at least of the non-established half of the

latter, for the Church of England takes no active
part in the business. The Roman Catholics of
late have been as arrogabt in his dominions as in
ours, and have been partially successful in their
priestly rebellions against his Government, and
he may naturally wish to indemnify himself on
the side of Protestantism.

In most of the States of Germany there are
some Protestants—a delegate was present even
from now down-trodden Hungary ; and the King
of Prussia well knows how convenient it is for a
monarch to be regarded as the head of their
creed by thousands of the subjects of a neigh-
bour. Nicholas taught him that lesson, if he
had not learned it otherwise. It is by no means
improbable, also, that he takes a real interest in
the subject of Protestant Unity. He is known

to pride himself almost as much as our HENRY

VIII. and JAMES I. did on his theological know-
ledge and acuteness; and his intimate literary
and theological friendship with BUNSEN must

have fostered both his fondness for theology, and
his disposition to take very charitable views of

the " variations of Protestants."

Whatever the motives of all parties, there they
are ; some fourteen hundred actors in the business
from all parts of Earope and from the United
States, all busy in devising the best means to
exhibit the substantial unity of Protestants. They
have, indeed, a difficult task before them. It
may be acknowledged that amongst the educated
there is a far more general appreciation of Lard
BACON'S remark, that " unity and uniformity be
different things ;" and that were a Church of

England now to be created, it would certainly
embrace all the Protestant sects of the kingdom,
with full liberty for each sect to worslaip as it
pleased. The leaders in the Church of Eng-
land, however, and in several sects of Protestants
also, have such an interest, pecuniarily and eccle-
siastically, in retaining things as they are, and the
majority of their followers are kept so narrow-
minded by the teaching they listen to, that, if we
take this country as au illustration of what may
be hoped for, we fear the day of the death of Pro-
testant sectarianism, and of the full age of Catho-
lic religious liberty is yet far distant. At Berlin
itself, the King finds one-half his theologians, of
the old Lutheran School especially, who are the
Puseyites of Lutheranism, very bitter against the
meetings which are now being held. Here tile
Archbishop of CANTERBURY invited, indeed, the
delegates, after they had visited Prussia to make
arrangements for the present meeting, to meet,
speak, and conduct worship in his Palace at Lam-
beth ! His brethren were, however, much scan-
dalised that dissenters should speak, and still more,
that they should pray to the Almighty in the
presence of an Archbishop ! The result has been
that the Archbishop and other dignitaries of the
Church of England have " declined" to attend
the Berlin Council, although the Primate was
bribed by a special invitation from the Monarch
and the offer of a whole house to himself ! That,
however, would not have prevented his having to
listen to prayers not found in the book of Common
Prayer, and offered by un-episcopally ordaintA
clergymen. Protestant union seems to be inau-
gurated by the largest Protestant Church in Eu-
rope " declining" Union !
At the meeting itself all seems to have gone on
merrily enough during the two days of which wo
have yet heard. There does really appear to
have been a very proper Christian spirit among
the numerous divines from all parts of the civi-

is at

BUENOS AYR MS, ctc.,

The tall-absorbing interest attached to the intelligence
reaching us from the East, has for a long time almost
precluded us from anything beyond cursory glances at
foreign news reaching us from time to time from otha
parts. Hence, though at other times news from the con-
tinent of South America is perused with attention, and
commented upon with more or leas interest by our
journals, at present the most important may reach us
and scarce occasion a single remark. The lost arrival
from Brazils and Buenos Ayres and the La Plata, for
instance, is not without importance to many resident in
this country. We learn that there exists a probability
of a declaration of war against the rising independent
State of Paraguay by the Brazi, the causes being,
usual, some supposed slight on the part of the Paraguan
authorities to the officers of a Brazilian vessel approach.
ing the shores of the former. Mr. Christy is oppor.
tunely in that quarter of the world, and may offer his
friendly mediation to settle the difference. In Monte
Video all seems at length quiet. The country is pros-
pering, and as proof of it land had risen some 50 per
cent , within the last two years. This speaks well,
perhaps, as regards general prospects in the important
La Plata districts. We hear nothing of the success or
failure of Mr. Christy in settling matters between the
now-separated Argentine prosinces and Buenos Ayres.
These countries, however, enjoy peace, and if reports
msy be credited, a very large increase of commerce, and
with it of revenue, is one of the pleasing results. There
is little besides worth of note, unless it is "one of ti e
proceedings of the Buenos Ayres Legislature, 'vArch
some few years ago would have attracted more notice.
It seems sine of the first acts of the new Governor, Dr.
Alsina, has been (to mark his disapproval of General
Rom and of his long career of impolicy, blighting as it
most certainly was in every sense to the progress and
best interests of his country), to declare the ex-
President a traitor, which has been followed
up by a further act confiscating the whole
of his property. That Dr. Alsiva may have acted a
little too ranch after the despotic system of Roses
himself in not according him a trial, some may consider

is possible, and some may consider it hardly warranted
On the other hand it may, be fairly asked where would
have been the use of a trial with all its expensive, and
(in this case) useless ceremony ?--for even if conviction
followed, the verdict would be mere empty words—for
where is the criminal, if such ho really is ? Why, snug
in Southampton far away from the reach of his prosecu-
tors. The word confiscation, however, suggests hints
and considerations upon quite another but very interest_
ing topic to good many.
Confiscation ! Who have endured this penalty mire
patiently, but morecornpletely, and almost to the utter an-
nihilation of their property and at one time of even hope
itself, than the unfortunate hollers of the paper or bonds
known as the English Loan ? For full 21 year; that the
rule of ROS 33 prevailed, nothing was thought of their
claim. At 60,0001. a year it may be said in the 20
years of his rule some 1,200,0001. was confiscated, which
if paid, as in justice it should, and might have been out
of the mortgaged revenues, customs dues, and all other
resources, whatever ought t ) have found its way into the
the pockets of the bondholders. This million and a
quarter sterling remains unpaid to this hour, and in value
less con pons, dangers a lasting shame to the name and
Government of Rosas. We fear we cannot offer much
consolation either as to its over being pail in a decent
form. Some lor 2 per cent. Deferred Bonds are epoken
of at compensation. It is a pier exchange where money
is due, and has been so long overdue. The original bond
wever it is proposed to treat with some regard to the
original terming of the contract. Perhaps the bond-
holders may thank Messrs Baring or Mr. Giro and our
Consul Mr. Parish that such is the intention. We trust
this will not end in disappointment, though several cor-
re3pondents address ua in terms of some despondency
We trust this is a false alarm. If means exist, this debt
ought to be paid. We know we have always argued and
proved that ample means do exist. Driblets, and drib-
lets only, are forthcoming, and some fear that a promise
of a practically augmented dividend —promised by Riostra,
bas already failed in performance. Wo have reason, how-
ever, to know that some mere formal difficulty only is in the
way, and will be removed. Messrs. Brings will no doubt
see to this. Buenos Ayres always paid her local debt—
the principal even was almost entirely redeemed. What
was the motive influencing Roses not to pay the English
debt so far as interest upon it, he would find a difficulto
in explaining away. lie cannot say the terms were
other than far too liberal. The Repu'olic obtained 80 to

90 per cent, and have kept it and used it ever since. To
apply the confiscated property of Resae in payment of
his sad detalcations would be only jest. This -man
(Rosa') destroyed the honour and credit of his country—
in spite of all remonstrant:en, come from whatever
quarter it might, whether Bishopsgate-.treat or Down-
ing•streot, in fact he set all at defiance—and now lives
to see if not rue the result. A correspondent from
Monte Video writing on the sentence passed on Ro)Sa9
winds up by emphllicelly remarking that—" Roses !
I think they have served him pite right. He never
had any regard for his country—was a bar to all pro-
grese end improvement—neither science or commerce
flourished—iii fact, he cared for no one but himself. HI,.
game was robbery and plunder from the beginning unto
the end of his career. I dare say be has bags-full of
money in England. Many assert that he has millions
snugly secured independent of estate across the water,
in the provinces of Buenos Ayres especially." S much
for Roses and Buenos Ayres.
Whilst touching on South American intelligence
we cannot but regret space will net enable us it
refer at more length to Ven,,zuele and another tyrant
quite a match for Roses in dishonesty if not in cruelty.
We mean Monargas. Just like Rosa; he sets at
defiance all just and sacred financial claims, just
as Rosas did- for 20 years. It is especially again
"English claims" that are thus treated. We remember
well that when General Paez governed the Venezuelan
Republic the bondholdersreceived their dividends punctu-
ally—it was true, on a reduced scale—but Monargas pays
nothing, and has paid nothing for more than ten years.
He has simply amused or rather insulted the bond-
holders by despatching (so-called) commissioners, one
batch after another, and when miserable terms have
been apparently acceded to, he (Donargas) rejects t!le
whole negotiation, and laue,che at poor Mr. Mocatta, the
agent to the committee of bondholders, who sent him to
Caraccas. This Monargae is, as we said, another Rosas,
and unless speedily reforming his cede of law and j us-
justice, we apprehend a simirar fate awaits us.
We see another meeting of the unfortunate dupes is
called for Tuesday, 221 September, to reoeive a report.
We shall have an eye tc. what passes ; in the meantime,
Lords Clarendon and Palmerston ought really
to put a stop to a system of insolent, heartless,
and defiant robbery and plunder of British subjects,
which nothing can excuse or palliate. General Paez,
lately in England, maintains that means most ample
exist for due and flea payment of all claims. Monargas
pays like Rosas all local debts—it ie the English al one
that are selected like those of 'Buenos Ayres by Rosa,
for confiscation.
This case of Venezeela is, if possible, worse than that
of Buenos Ayres, and unfortunately the claim of the
Venezuelan creditors is four times the amount of the
ethers.

THE MUTINIES IN INDIA.

The following telegraphic despatch, addressed
to Lord Clarendon, wa.a received at the Foreign-
office to-day, Sept. 17, 12.50 P.M. :
ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 12.

General Havelock had advanced 25 miles from
Cawnpore, towards Lucknow, but, after defeating
the mutineers [in] three engagements, with loss
of 21 guns, he was obliged to retrace his steps to
CAwnpore, for the purpose of leaving his sick,
considerably increased from cholera, and was
waiting for reinforcements.
At Agra the Krok contingent, and other rebels,
had been entirely dispersed.
A detachment of her Majesty's 10th and 37th
Regiments, 300 strong, had made a night attack
upon the men of the Bth and 40th Infantry, who
had mutinied at Dinapore, but was dispersed with
a loss of 200 killed.

The irregular corps at Segowlie had mutinied
and killed their officers.

A plot to murdE.r the Europeans at Jeesore and
Benares had been discovered at Midnapore.
The Shakawanti battalion was wavering, but
had not been disarmed yet.
Martial Law had been proclaimed in Behar.

Great uneasiness was fait in Calcutta of an out-
break during the approaching Mohurrun, and the
body guard had been disarmed, but allowed to
retain their horses.

Lord Elgin arrived on the Bth of August with
400 marines and a company of her Alljesty's
59th Regiment, and another steamer had brought
some of the troops of the Transit.
The Bt-mtinelc met two steamers coming up the
River with troops.

The Himalaya left on the 11th for troops from
the Mauritius.

The report of General Havelock's retreat comes

and 300 soldiers on board. After the mutiny at
Dinapora a small force, consisting of 160 men of
her Majesty's 10th Regiment and about the same
number, of the 37th, was despatched to relieve
some eight Europeans beseiged by the mutineers
at Arrah. The expedition was not successful,
and our loss very heavy. General Lloyd has
been removed from his command, and General
Outram invested with the command of the

The Paris correspondent of the Times (Second
Edition) says :
" Although one or two of the Paris papers posi-
tively contradict the statement that preparations
are making indicative of the expected or possible
visit of a great personage to this capital, I am not
on that account shaken in my belief that Such an
event is on the cards, and that the Emperor of
Russia will be invited to come to Paris. It is thought
here, in well-informed quarters, that the Emperor.
Napoleon would very much like to bring together,
at the Tuileries, the Sovereigns of Great Britain
and of Russia. This idea may not be realisable—
at least for the present—but it is still hoped that
the Emperor Alexander will come to France."

FRANCE.
s _ EA RIS, WEDNESDAY.

has been stated in some of the journals that
tin Prince Napoleon is about to marry a Princess
of the House of Savoy ; but this statement cannot
be true, inasmuch as the two daughters of the King'
of Sardinia, the Princess Clotilda and the Princess
Mary, are only aged respectively 14 and 10.
The railway branch from Chalons to the camp, 25
kilometres in length, was opened yesterday, in the
very short-timesof 70 cla3s from the first survey. A
train left Paris at 9 in the morning, conveying M.
Rouher, Minster of Pulllic Works, M. de Frauque-
•villo, Director-General of Railroads, the Count de
Segur, and a number of directori and other
persons connected wi, h the company. The terminus
is near the village of Little Mourmelon, just out-
side the limit ot the military territory, but close to
the Roman road leading up to the imperial head-
quarters ; close also .to the commissariat establish-
ments, which are at the south-western corner of the
camp. The opportunity of the opening of the
branch was taken to present ttieEniperor with a suite
of carriages, built for his express accommodation,
and which he had promised to go to the terminus
to receive. No less than 2,400 workmen have been
c..nstantly employed on the branch. The telegraph
was opened a fortnight ago. At 3 p.m. the Imperial
carriages, glittering With gilding, arrived at the
terminus, and the Emperor came up just at the
same moment, with Mar.lals Valliant and Can-
robert, General de St. Jean tl'Augely, and other
officers. He appeared greatly to admire the
train constructed for his use. It consis!s of
five carriages, communicating by little bridges,
and comprises ante room, larder, dining room (the
litter wainscoted in oak, with furniture of the
same wood), a carriage arranged as a terrace with
choice. flowers and a balustrade ot beautiful work-
manship (this carriage is uncovered) ; then comes
the drawing-room, fitted up in tho style of Louis
XV., with furniture of sculptured and gilt wood,
and Aubusson carpets ; two bedrooms complete the
sumptuous suite of apartments. The carriages are
decorated externally with carved and gilt bronzes.
The whole getting up of this railway mansion is re-
markably perfect, and well worthy of an Imperial
travelling residence: It cost nearly 300,000 f. The

Emperor complimented the Company on the excel-
lent taste displayed, and it is said to be decided that
he will use this train for his journey to Germany.
