bad, who despatched the intelligence to the Gover-
nor on the 29th of September :
" ' By express through Dr. Derinzy, Res'dency
Surgeon, Jeypore, the 23d of September, 5 a.m.—
We hate this moment received information from the
Durbar of our troops having occupied the entire
city of Delhi on Sunday last, the 20th.- The Vakeel
of the Jhujjur Nawab had been here a little while
before with the same intelligence, so you may rely
uplia it. The King is said to be in the Durgab
Nizam-oodeen, about six miles from Delhi. He
and his two sons escaped disguised as women, and
the women of the Zenama in men s
"It was reported at Ahmedabad, upon the
strength of letters from Ajmere, that the King of
Delhi had been captured."

We take the following from a Supplement to the
Madras ,Atheneum of the 29th of September :
BOMBAY, SHPT. 28.
" A telegram waR received yesterday from
Colonel Durand, at Mhow, announcing the receipt
there of an express from Captain Eden, at Jeypoor,
despatched on the 18th, and giving the following
extract of a letter from Colonel Young, dated at
Head-quarters, Skinner's-house, Delhi, 15th inst.
" It is as follows :

" The assault took place yesterday morning,
soon after daybreak, and the storming was entirely
successful. We were soon in possession of the end
of the fort, with the Cashmere, Cabul, and Morse
Gates, which we now hold, with the Church, Col-
lege, and other large buildings near this,—Skin-
ner's-house, in which the head-quarters are. Pre
parations are making for heavy batteries to knock
the mutineers out of those parts of the city in which
they now are. Many of the city people have come
in for and received quarter. The Sepoys wanted
to come also, but were not permitted. The ea:Aral-
ties are said to be heavy ; no Artillery officers,
however, were killed or wounded. A great many
of the mutineers have escaped. The cavalry left
last night, it is 4aid towards Rewaree.' "

The news of the fall of Delhi, which arrived by
the Ajdaha on the night of Thursday last, reached
the Governor of Bombay while a large dinner-party
was being entertained at Government House.
Lord Elphinstone immediately announced the
joyful tidings to the assembled Company, and
called upon them to fill their glasses, and drink to
the health of " General Wilson and his brave
Army." This was done with much enthusiasm,
the band striking up " The British Grenadiers."
The screw steamer England arrived at Kurra-
chee on the 25th September, with the wing of her
Majesty's 4th (King's Own) Regiment, which had
been dispatched from Bombay, consisting of 16
officers, 312 rank and file, 7 drummers, and 47
followers. The regiment marched into canton-
ments the same evening.

DELHI-OFFER TO SURRENDER.
(From the Bombay Gazette Extra of Sept. 22.)

CAMP DELHI, SEPT. 2.
The drama is drawing to a close, and the bloody
rebels are well aware of such being the case, as on
the 31st lilt, they sent in a white flag to ask for
terms, offering to give up all actual murderers.
The answer was as follows :—" The British Govern-
ment will hold no terms with murderers, rebels,
and mutineers. Surrender must be unconditional.
Any other rebel coming to propose other terms will
be hung. All future negoeiations will be carried
on at the muzzles of our guns."

GENERAL WILSON'S ORDER TO THE
TROOPS AT DELHI.
(From the Bombay limes of Oct. 3.)

The force assembled before Delhi has had much
hardship and fatigue to undergo since its arrival in
this camp, all of which 'has been most cheerfully
borne by officers and men. The time is now draw-
ing near when the major-general commanding the
force trusts that their labours will be over, and
they will be rewarded by the capture of the city,
for all their past exertions, and for a cheerful en-
durance of still greater fatigue and exposure. The
troops will be required to aid and assist the
engineers in the erection of the batteries and
trenches, and in daily exposure to the sun, as
covering trenches.

The, .artillery will have even harder work than
they yet have had, and +which they have so well
and cheerfully performed hitherto ; this, however,
will be for a short period only, and when orderad
to the assault, the major-general feels assured.
British pluck and determination will carry every-
thing before them, and that the bloodthirsty and
murderous mutineers, against whom they are
fighting, will be driven headlong out of their
stronghold, or be exterminated ; but to enable
them to do this, he warns the troops of the absolute
necessity of their keeping together, and not
straggling from their columns. By this can success
only be secured.

iciajor Wi's m need hardly remind the troops of
the cruel murders committed on their Ofdcorg and
comrades, as well as their wives and children, to
move them in the deadly struggle. No quarter
should b 3 given to the mutineers; at the same
time, for the sake of humanity, and the honour of
the country they belong to, he calls upon them to
spare all women and children that may come in
their way.

It is so imperative, not only for their safety but
for the success of the assault, that men should not
straggle from their columns, that the major-general
feels it his duty to direct all commanding officers
to impress this strictly upon their men, and he is
confident that, after this warning, the men's good
sense and discipline will induce them to obey their
officers and keep to their duty. It is to be explained
to every regiment that indiscriminate plunder ►ill
not be allowed; that prizeagents have been appointed,
by whom all captured property will be collected and
sold, to be divided, according to the rules and re-
gulations on this head, fairly amongall men engaged
—and that any man found guilty of having con
cealed captured property, will be made to r,store
it, and will forfeit all claims to the general prize ;
he will also be likely to be made over to the provost -
marshal to be summarily dealt with. The major-
general calls upon the officers of the force to lend
their zealous and efficient co-operation in the erec-
tion of the works of the siege now about to be com-
menced ; he looks especially to the regimental offi-
cers of all grades to impress upon the men that the
work in the trenches during a siege is as necessary
and honourable as to fight in the ranks during a
battle. He will hold all officers responsible tor
their utmost being done to carry out the directions
of the Engineers, and he confidently trusts that all
will exhibit a healthy and heartyspiritof emu'ation
and zeal, from which he has no doubt that the
happiest results will follow, in the brilliant termi-
nation of all their labours.

The following particulars of the proceedings of
the 12th are from Mr. Greathed's letter of that
date :

It was before reported that the 18-gun battery
No. 2, in front of Ludlow Castle, had. with the aid
of the heavy mortars, quickly silenced the Cashmere
Bastion.

" That bastion has not since replied, and ,heavy
salvos are continually directed against it. No. 1
battery continues to fire into the Moree ; it is a
heap of ruins,. but the gunners manage to fire light
guns from different parts.
"No. 3, at the Custom-house, has not yet opened.
Some alterations had to be made in it. It is ex-
pected it will be ready this evening.
"The enemy have not made any more sorties,
but keep up a brisk fire of musketry in front of the
bastions from rifle pits and among the jungle, and
they hive a flanking fire from field-pieces on the
right, and from a hea►y gun and mortar on the
other side the river. Sulemghur and the Water
Bastion also fire on the left and centre batteries.
Rockets are occasionally fired from a Martello tower
in front, and there are single light guns on two
others.

"All this do( s not retard the progress of the
siege, or lead to any interruption of fire. And,
though the delay about No. 3 is certainly a disap-
pointment, there is still every reason for ct,ngratu-
laden. A position has been seized and maintained
for breaching purposes, which, if worked up to ac-
cording to rule, would not have been ours for some
time, and our fire is very destructive.
" A party of the enemy's cavalry, 200 in number,
got alross the cut of the canal yesterday, to cut off
our camels. They retired on seeing a force conaing
against them, and might have got off; but they were
wet by 80 of the Guide Cavalry, under Capt. Sand-
ford, and 2 ressaldars and 25 sowais were killed on
the field.

pendingdanger
has roused the
energies of the Pandies, and they talk of nothir g
but defence, and are making dum-dummas near
the magazine, and between the Cashmere and Ca-
b)olee gates. But experience has hitherto
shown
th it those energies fail when the moment of action
arrives; and I think it is generally a source of con-
gratulation that the rebels are not availing them-
selves of the many avenues of escape. The popu-
lation appears quiescent.
"Major Campbell, of the Artillery, was wounded
by a grape shot in the ler-, in battery, and Lieut.
Lockhart is also wounded.' The enemy was quieter
last night, and the casualty return for the last 24
hours is, I hope, moderate. The erection of No.
3 costs a good many men.
" All quiet above."
Mr. Greathed's report of the 13th inst. has just
been received.
" After I wrote yesterday, the left batteries
opened against the Water Bastion and curtain, with
one gun bearing on the causeway leading to the
bridge, and have continued in full play. They have
