THE BOMBAY MAIL.

The following telegram from Mr. Acting Consul
Green arrived at the Foreign-office at 1.30 a.m.,
January 16, dated

ALEXANDRIA, JAN. 10.

The steamer Benares arrived at Suez, from
Bombay, on the 6th inst. The dates are Bombay,
Dec. 24 ; Aden, Dec. 31. The subjugation of the
disturbed districts is rapidly progressing. The
insurgents are dissolving before the merciful con-
ditions offered by the Queen's Proclamation, and
the dismantling of forts and disarming of the
population are being carried on vigorously.
On the Ist of December Brigadier Troup's colunm
met a large body of rebels at Biswa, in Oude,
commanded by Ismael Khan. Our artillery and
cavalry only were engaged, but the enemy made
very little stand and fled. The result of this affair
was, that on the 4th Ismael Khan gave himself up,
with a considerable number of adherents. Some
others have since followed his example.
Tantia Topee is still at large. When last heard
of he was supposed to be making for Oodeypore, in
Rajpootana.
On the sth of December a party of rebel fugi-
tives from the Fil Fitilh, at Biswa, eluding the
vigilance of the British troops posted along the
banks of the Ganges, between Cawnpore and
Kimong, crossed at once into the Doab, with the in-
tention, it is conjectured, of joining Tantia Topee
in Central India. This party, under Feroze Shah,
mustered 900 horse, 300 foot, 1 small gun, and
some elephants. On the Bth they were encountered
by Mr. Hume, who was forced to retire upon Hur-
chandpore, where he occupied a small fort.
On the 12th the rebel party was at Tangeooa,
moving south, plundering and burning as they
went, and closely pursued by General Napier.
The following telegram, dated Gwalior, Dec. 18,
from Major Manakersen, gives the latest intelli-
gence of them at Ranade :

On Dec. 17, Sir R. Napier's force beat and pur-
sued with slaughter, for eight miles, the rebels
under Feroze Shah. Captain Pretlyahn, (Pretty-
man ?) 14th Dragoons, wounded in leg, and eight
or ten men wounded; none killed.

NAPLES, SUNDAY, JAN. 16.

The decree commuting the fine imposed upon the
political prisoners has been modified by a Minis-
terial ordinance.

The prisoners will be conveyed to Cadiz, and
thence transported to America, where they will be
compelled to take up their residence.
Poerio, who is an invalid, has refused the Royal
pardon, because, in his opinion, it is equivalent to
transportation.
