GENERAL HAVELOCK'S MARCH,
The following, are extracts of a letter from a gen-
tleman volunteer attached to Brigadier-General
Nein camp at Cawnpore, dated August 1 .
" On the 30th ult. General Havelock's force had
proceeded about 20 miles towards Luckuow. In the
morning of that day they came across a large body
of the rebels entrenched at a bridge ; the rascals
surrounded our gallant little band, but were beaten
to nothing. Our force advanced and in the even-
ing attached the rebels, who were in a second en-
trenchment. Our side gained the day, of course,
and captured in alll9 guns, but our loss was heavy,
85 killed and wounded ; the guns were spiked or
destroyed, and the general has retired to within
four miles of us. Cholera is raging fearfully among
our poor fellows, the casualties being reported as
60 per day. The enemy is said to be in tremend-
ous force on the Lucknow road, so I presume the
general will not advance against them until rein-
forced and he is relieved of his wounded. I believe
it is 'he general's intention to bring away if pos
Bible all our poor people from Lucknow, and
abandon Oude altogether for the present.
Tele appears to me to be a very judicious
plan and I think Government should make it
publicly known, because the rebellious scoundrels
in the north-west would then make at once for
their darling Oude, and leave our upper provinces
quiet. A rumour is current here that Delhi has at
last really ben captured. I hope that this may prove
to be a fact. We are in daily eipeotatiore of rein-
forcements from Allahabad. If they don t come
soon our position here will be a very ticklish one
just now ; there are-only about 300 men here, and
the rascally niggers are said to be again collecting
at Bittoor. We have sent the again collecting
at Bittoor. We have sent' the Berhampooter
steamer, with 50 Europeans, 24 Sikhs, two guns,
and a mortar, up the river to dislodge them ; we
are in constant expection of being attacked—have
to stand to arms at night.
,It is said that the Nana's
people have sworn to come and retake the place,
or perish;they had better notattempt it, for 300 men
with_a commander like Gen. Neill would give them
something to do. I have not been able to glean much
information regarding the noble Wheeler's gallant
defence of Cawnpore, but the enclosed little scraps
of paper which I found among the clothes of our
murdered countrywomen will tend to throw soma
little light on the matter. I also found in the heap
of blood-stained clothes three daguerreotype por-
traits which I retain and intend to advertise them
hereafter. As soon as we reached Cawnpore after
the battle ,we were met by a man who rushed to-
ward 4 us much excited—he hanhe appearance of
a regimental cook—he proved to be a cleric of the
Commissiriat Department. He had volunteered
to leave the intrenchment, and endeavour to gain
some information for Sir H. Wheler as to the
probability of relief being at hand or not ; the
rebels seized him, tried him as a spy, and con-
demned him to three years' hard labour in irons.
Accordingly he was confined with about 300 natives
(most of them imprisoned for their inability to sup-
ply the Nana with funds),. who, when they heard
the victorious shouts of our army, made a rush at
their guards, and escaped. Poor fellow 1 (Mr. S.)
he had left all his family (nine) in the entrench-
ment, and they have, with the rest of our people,
been cruelly butchered. It is a most affecting sight
to see the poor fellow searching about the place
where the bodies of our countrywomen were found,
I suppose hoping to find some trace of his slaugh-
tered family. He roams listlessly about, no one
speaking to him or offering to sympathise with hies,
for . we all feel. that it would be almost a
mockery to offer consolation. Many people
say that Wheeler should have gone into the
magazine instead of entrenching himself where he
did ; that he would then have prevented the
rebels getting the ammunition and guns. The
Artillery Hospital which Wheeler defended is fear-
fully battered ; the rebels had guns bearing upon
every inch of if, and at last I believe brought a
24-pounder to bear upon the well which was the
only 'one they had ; numbers were shot trying to
get water from the well, and at last it was found
impossible to get what was life itself, "water."
It must have been at this time that the Bittoor
traitor's proposal (that Wheeler should evacuate
Cawnpore and retire to Allahabad under his pro-
teation) was accepted. We know what sort of pro-
tection the villains showed them. All but our
women and children (who were made prison rs)
were treacherously butchered as soon as they had
fairly placed themselves in the power of the wretches.
On the 16th Major-Renaud got shot in one of
his legs, which was shattered ; he sat on the road,
and, as his r giment passed, aid, "_God be with you,
Fusiliers, for I can't." His men cheered him, and
rushed forward to revenge him, and I believe they
did fearful execution ; they are fine soldiers, and
almost worshiped poor Renaud, who, I pi sorry to
say, is since dead. Captain Currie, her Majesty's
84th, was sick when we were advancing upon this ;
he insisted upon being allowed to leave his dooley
and lead his company—poor fellow, he was shot in
the loins, which proved mortal. Major Beatson
died here of dysentery. We have two or three
officers now wounded; Lieut. Seaton, of the Fusi-
liers, said to be mortally so. Old Havelock seems
to be a pucca chap, and well up to his work as a
general ; his son, Lieut. Havelock, is a model of a
soldier, a fine dashing fellow, in the Charles
O'Mall. y style.
We caught a Subadar the other day' ; he con-
fessed to having been second in command fighting
against us on the 16th ult. We hung him up, but
first made him clean up some of the blood of our
slaugh+ ered women.
I hope no Mussulman will be enlisted into the
Sikh Volunteers now forming. In the FerozePore
Regiment of Sikhs there are about 105 Mahornedaus
which the Sikhs say never fired yet at the enemy ;
they use lots of cartridges, but all are fired over
the enemy's heads positively.

PATNA..
The following is an extract from a private letter
from Paint, dated July 21
" On Monday morning I went to cutcherry as
usual, and transacted public business. After two I
broke up, when the magistrate requested to see me.
1 called, and learnt his resolution to leave Chupra,
inasmuch as danger was nigh. The Irregulars of
Seeowlie, who had murdered all their officers and
families, had come round to Alligunge, done sad
havoc there, and were coming on towards Chupra,
being encamped at a place called Seetulpore Banja,
five coss from Chupra to the north-west. I agreed
with him it was time we should leave
What is more heartrending is, that three regiments
which mutinied at Dinapore were allowed to walk
out of the station unhurt with their own bands
playing, ' God save the Queen.' These men got
into Arrah, looted the place, and are now engaged
by Koour Sing, who has proclaimed himself the
Maharajah of Sahabad. Koour Singh has
managed to organise a corps of about 20,000
men beside 3 2,500 men gone from Dinapore. They
have somehow got three guns, and as the percussion
guns are useless, the Sepoys and all the oth 're have
been furnished with arms of Judgespore manufac-
ture.* The first mistake was not enough in permit.
ting ao large a body of men to go away unhurt with-
out a shot being fired at them. But upon hearing
that they were att icking the billiard room in Mr.
Farqubarsan's house at Arrah (the upper-roomed
building fortified and built up for protection since
the rise), and that all the authorities had gone into for
defence, the general at Dinapore sent]out 200 men.
What folly ! so few against numbers ten times
greater, and then without any guns 'I Mr. M'Donell,
the magistrate of Chupra, and Mr. Garstiu, accom-
panied them. Out of the 200 men it is grievous to
say that 150 were shot dead as they had landed
by a picket patty sent to watch the different
ghats. Mr. M'Donell is wounded, and Mr. Garstin I
I
very seriously hurt. It has been a total defeat ;1
and the loss will embolden the rebels. I would
not doubt, strong as they are, that they
may take it into their heads to come to Dinapore
and Patna, and attack these Vaces. We have guns,
true ; but the European force is not large, and the
body of Sikh police force also not peat, being deci-
mated by being sent away here and there to guard
the different stations. God knows alone how all
this shall terminate.
" Baboo Koour Singh is a member of the family
of the ancient Doomrao Rajah. By a long course
of extravagance he had so deeply embarrassed him-
self that were the numerous decrees of the courts
strictly executed he would have been a permanent
inmate of the civil gaol. From this unenviable
position, with ruin and degradation staring him in
the face, he was extricated by the kind exer-
tions of the civil authorities of Arrah: Such
unparalleled kindness this individual has thought
proper to requite at the critical juncture
by raising an overwhelming force for the destiuc-
tion of our poor countrymen, who appear to be in
a state of blockade without any hope of escape.
This is what may be expected from all of his class,

Regiment, with the European Horse • -Battery,
moved out to attack the Meerut mutineers. Two
ammunition waggons blew up, ant want of ammu-
nition compelled the troops to re ire, which was
done in an orderly manner. The result was the re-
moval of the troops into the fort, where the. Euro-
pean inhabitants had already been assembled. The
Agra Government has been de it ed. to open a com-
munication daily evith---Delhi, al well as with Cawn-
pore. Lieut.-COl. Cotton was directed tar take com-
mand of the troops, superseding Brigadier Polw.hele.

surgents and Mudha Persaud. The detachment
of the 12th Irregular Cavalry on duty at AzimghUr
deserted on hearing of the mutiny of the head-

" CAWNPORE was re-occupied on the 17th. The
Nena Sahib fled from. Bithoz, veld di was taken
possession of by the troops, his palace burnt and
magazine blown up ; 13 guns were taken, and a
number of animals. Brigadier General Heveloctee
force effected the passage of the river by the 28th,
having met with great difficulty on account of the
want of boats. Brigadier General Neil was left iu
command at Cawnporee with a small force of 300
Europeans and some guns, and he had re-estab-
lished the British authority in the city and bazaar,
and the neighbourhood was tranquil. Gen. Have-
lock marched on the morning of the 29th, met the
enemy at Oonou, defeated them, and took three
guns. After resting he proceeded on, when the
enemy advanced to meet him ; an action took
place, which resulted in the total defeat of the
enemy with the loss of 12 mere guns. Brigadier
Gen. Havelock proceed on to Busheereunge, where
he again met with opposition, but he took the plae-,

on the defensive up to the 14th. Tho mutineers
attacked every third or fourth day, and were lava:
riably repulsed with loss. Our force consists of
about 6,000 troops of all kinds, exclusive of sick
and wounded. Up to the 14th there had been 159

" DINAPORE.—The three Native Regiments, the
7th, Bth, and 40th, deserted bodily on the after-
noon of the 25tb, taking wi h them their arms. The
percussion caps in store had been removed in the
mornine, and the demand to el: liver over the caps
in pouch was the cause of the mutiny. An attempt
was, after some delay, made to follow the muti-
neers, but its result was quit 3 fru tleem. No-
thing was-done for some days, wh--n a d.Aachment,
consisting of two companies of the 10th Foot, two
companies of the 22d Foot, and 50 Sikh e ware sent

tineers out of Arrah, to which place they had pro-
ceeded and were besieging the civil officers and Eu-
ropean resident-. The party landed at ilip,ht from
the steamer and proceeded towards Arrah. Ia the
dark they wereledintj anambussade, were attacked
by the mutineere, and driven back with the loss of
nearly half the party. The remnant had returned
to Dinapore. Major-Gen. Lloyd has been removed
from his command for his culpable neglect, and the
Commander-in-Chief has been requeitei to insti-
tute the usual preliminary inquiry preparatory to

The following is from Dinapore, dated July 31
—"The Sepoye broke out here on Saturday, the
23d instant. We were ordered to parade that
morning, for the purpose (as we thought) of dis-
arming three corps, but the general wouldn't let
them be disarmed, nor their colonels. They only
took a few caps from them. The 7th and Bth
Native Infantry refused to give up theirs. We
were under arms for about three hours that morn-
ing. About one o'clock that day we heard that
they had turned out in front of their lines. Shortly
after we lieu(' the two signal shots from the top of
the hospit d. We fell in, and doubled down, with
the six guns, in aboat five minutes. The Sepoys
all hooked it. We did not coins back to our lines
till 1.1 o'clock that night. Thera were only a few of
them killed. I forgot to tell you there were 200
men of her Majesty's 37th with us. The steamer
which they came in (I'd good work ;. she sank seven
boat loads of be roys. I don't suppose we killed ten
Sepoys altogether, as they, were out of range when
we got down.
The next day, 26th (Sunday), everything was
quiet ; 27th quiet. also, but on the evening of
the 28th we got orders for four companies to pro-
ceed. to Arrak, about 30 miles from here, to release
the Eeropeane that the Sepoys had prisoners.
Well, we didn't go till next morning, and, as usual,
two companies were countermanded, as the
steamer couldn't take the whole. Our two com-
panies were made up to 157 men of all ranks.
They steamed up the Ganges and met the 200 men
of her Majesty's 370. On a sand bank they
all landed, with about 50. Sikhs, nearly 400 men in
all, and 17 officers. They marched to Arrah, a
dis'ance of 14 miles. When they were going along '
quietly in thedark, and near the gatesofArrah, there
was a volley poured into them, which nearly anni-
hilatel them, and then such a scene commenced—
firing and retiring for 14 miles. They bad to swim
a trench of the Ganges besides. The company I
belong to lost 25 men killed and 12 wounded. Our
loss in the two companies is as follows :-78 killed
mid wounded, viz., Capt. Dunbar, killed ; Ensign
Erskine, died of wounds ; Lieut. Sandwich,
wounded ; Capt. Medhurst, wounded ; 48 privates
killed and 30 wounded. No joke out of two com-
panies e but if you had seen the state of the poor
fellows when they. arrives yesterday, you must
have pitied them. There were four officers of her
Majesty's 37th killed. I don't know how many
men, but should say nearly as many as the 10th
lost. There were eight officers killed and four
wounded, volunteers the whole of them. It was a
ge teral massame._ There nre great deadsof bravery
performed, but wtatowae ahe-use, they were over-
whelme4 by thous suds in a strange country. They
fought from 11 p.m. until 11 a.m. the following
morning, without bit, bite, or sup, since leaving
this. How. so many came .t 3 killed was, the
Sepoys beat out their brains when they fell
wounded. The mete of the steamer was also
killed. When our fellows came to the branch
of the Ganges, the boats ware there, but they
could not get them off the sand, at least
they only got off a few. There was one boat
load of our wounded men burnt to death by the
Sepoys. Some had to swim it with three wounds on
them. It was a horrilie affair altogether. The
10th had just got the Eefield rifle served that day,
and they did good work; they killed about 600
Sepoys. After the first volley they broke into
skirmishing order, and our chaps couldn't get them
in a fody at all to charge them. I could fill two
sheets of paper,
only I am pressed for time and
room. The men have been belted ever since ; we
expect them t.3be down on us every moment from
both sides of Patna and Avail. The four regiments
of Sepoys, besides all the villagers, are against us.
In the dead of the night it was horr;ble, they kept
banging after them from every bush and tree. One
of our men hal two shakos shot off his head, his
pouch blown off, and his fieelocksmashed, and even
the heel of one of his boots was shot off. One officer
of her Majesty's 37th Regiment was wounded twice
iu the foot, and he had to fall ; so he drew out his
revolver, and shot himself. Another of oqr men
was flayed alive by the brutes, and then his body
was burned. One of the.drummers of the regiment
fired, and retirei, for about six mikes with two
wounds in his shoulder, he then got a third through
the holy and dropped. He again got up and fired
his last shot at the Sepoy who shot him, and im-
mediately fell back and died. Capt tin Dunbar
got riddled with balls. We have two companies
and two guns at present at Patna. I must leave
off, fir I am for duty to-night."—Phcenix.

" Instead of the enemy being pursued at once,
whilst the panic lasted, three days were suffered to
elapse, and then a party consist ng of her Majesty's
37th, her Majesty's 10th, and Sikhs, making in all
400, were despatched by steamer to the nearest
point ou the river to A rrah, which is about 14 miles
inland. The men were landed and marched by
moaulight till about 11 o'clock, when the moon
went down, and when they should have halted, but
the officer in command obstinately pushed on in the
dark, in an unknown country, in the face of a pow-
erful army, the men tired and hungry, and,discon-
tented. What could be expected ? They fell into
an ambush. of about 2,000 men, partly Sepoys and
partly men belonging to Koour Sing, a powerful
landholder in those parts. A murderous volley
was poured in and a good many fell. This creel ed
a panic, and the 'men separated, and did not join
altogether till morning. The officer commanding
the party, Captain Dunbar, was killed by the first
volley. The rebels kept up a heavy fire all night
upon our men, which they returned, but in the
morning a precipitate retreat was made by our men.
From all I can ascertain they would not listen to
their officers, but it was a case of every man for
himself. The slaugh'er on our side was dreadful,
about 150 killed, and hardly a man unwounded.
" Amongst the officers, eight fellkilled or mortally
wounded, and seveaal wounded returned to the
station.
" Amongst the killed were Captain Dunbar, 10th
Foot ; Lieutenant Anderson, late 22d Volun-
teer ; Lieutenant Ingilby, late 7th Volunteer ;
Lieutenant Sale, her Majesty's 37th ; Ensign
Erskine, her Majesty's 10th, killed ; mate of steamer
; a railway volunteer also. The names of
o hers I cannot find out. Wounded : Lieutenant
Sandwith. her Majesty's 10th ; Ensign Venour,
ltte 40th Volunteer ; Dr. Jackson ; Mr. Garstio,
volunteer ; Mr. Macdonald, volunteer, and many
others. They were pursued by the whole force of
rebels to a nullah, where many were drowned be-
cause they could not swim. The native officers
were seen hounding on their men. Three were
shot. Men in rifle uniform are seen amongst them.
They must have been hard up for ammunition, as
they fired buttons and stones. They had the small
guns. The Dumraon Rajah is said to have joined
them with guns. It is lamentable to think all this
loss of life has been caused by one man.
" Two guns and 100 men of the 10th have gone
to Patna which is very shaky. We all look anxiously
for the sth Fusileers, said to be close at hand. I

CHOLERA AND FAMINE AT SONSONAT.E.

The following letter from the agent to Lloyd's a
Sonsouwe' Republic of Guatemala, has produced a
very painful feeling in the city, and the suggestion
contained therein will, it is to 'be hoped, be
r ou t San
of Sal-
vadorthepromptly carried out :---" Sonsonate, July 23,

thtehough
capital have fallen victims, while in Sonsonate uo
to this day same 650 have died. It was brought to
this republic by the troops just returned from Ni-
caragua, firs., breaking out on their extending
through this unfortunate country. What is the
more distressing is the want of medical men, seve-
ral c,tirs containing a population of from 8,000 to
10,0'JO Indians and others being without medical
men or even medicines. It is stated that t'le
cholera is subsiding, but we dread a family., which
in these countries is a fearful visit Won. Could not
a subscription be gathered under the patronage of
Lloyd's for the relief of the unfortunates ? lam
sure the merchants of London would contribute. I
and disp,tnsing medicines at my own expense and
bread every Saturday to a host of recipients, but I
am obliged to send many away hungry and starving
from want of the means of assisting them. In San
Salvador (the capital) the dead bodies were placed
in piles and burnt, the authorities not having had
time to dig pits for their interment, while in other
towns instances have occurred where the bodies
have been left in the cemeteries uncovered, to los
devoured by the vultures, which are hovering over
our heads from morning till night. Bu-iness, as a
matt,r of course, is entirely suspended, and on
passing through the streets one only encounters
pale panic-stricken faces peering from the doors and
windows, while the occasional cries from such fami-
lies as have lost a relative are positively, heart-
rending. That a famine will follow is certain ; for,
it being the rainy season, such is the dread of es
polure during the epidemic that the maize crop is
rotting in the fields. The principal sufferers also
are the Indians, who form the only field lhaboudrerl;
consequently the crops will not begw e
occasion
therefore, know of no aotrtehre of tho. re at y
commiseration of the British public?
111
steps will be taken to raise a subscription on behalf
of these poor people. The locusts in 1854 and 1855
and the Filibuster war an rust that
of 3856 and 1857 have tended
to accele! ate the general misery, which the cholera
is now consummating in-a most fearful manner. I
have reported these circumstances to her Majesty's
Charge d'Affaires in Guatemala, and he will by this
mail convpunicats the facts to our Government. I
remain, sir, your most obedient servant,

EAST INDIA 110IISS.—We understand that Mr. Ed-
ward Thornton has ntirei from the East India Com-
pany's home .service. Besides balding a high official
position at thb India House, Mr. Thornton is• well
known as the author o: the' History of British India,"
and a " Gazetteer of India,'' both recognised text books,
with-other valuable books relating to that country. To
all those who have had occasion to communicate with
Mr. Thornton in his official capacity, and who have
experienced his unfailing courtesy and readiness to
oblige, his retirement from office will be a matter of
sincere regret.
