THE INDIAN MUTINIES.

We (Times) have received from our corre-
spenrient at Bombay the following a'lmirable de-
scription of the state of affairs in India at the date
of the Overland Mail which arrived late last
night

" BOMBAY, JUNE 28.

"The departure of the mail, which was fixed for
yesterday afternoon, has already been postponed.
till to-morrow morning, and will very probably be
still further delayed in the hope that it May be
aide to convey to you certain intelligence that the
stronghold of the•revolted soldiery of India is in
the hanels of the avenging army. For, although a
fortnight has passed since I..closed my last letter,
and although we were even then expecting each
hour to hear that the blow:struck under the walls
of De'hi on the Bth had been followed up by the
reduction of the city,- I have still nothing stronger
than rumour whereon to base the announcement
of that anxiously expected consummation,—ru-
mour, indeed, explicit in character and widely
diffused, reaching us from several quarters at a
greater or less distance from the scene of action,
but lacking that certainty and official confirmation
from Agra or its neighbourhood which I think it
must, if true, have before this received. Making
every allowance for the interception of the tele-
graphic communication with Agra—the wire being
cut somewhere in the Gwalior country—and f.r
the interruptions that are probably attendant in
certain districts upon the dawk traffic, the Bombay
public is still beginning to doubt, for want of sub-
sequent corroboration, the report which at first it
so readily believed. This, however, is the story :
Delhi was stormed and taken on the 12th, with
great slaughter to the mutineers, the remnant of
whom took refuge within the Palace, the lofty but
decayed walls of which could afford them but a
temporary refuge. The'Poonah. Observer, from a
private source,' accomplishes their destruction on
the 14th ; but this assertion, as unsupported,
I mention with distrust; and this is its history.
Mr. Harvey, the Commissioner, writing to Agra on
the 13th from Pulwul, in the district. is assured'
that the place fell under the circumstances above
detailed on the day previous. His letter is circu-
lated in Agra on the 16th ; its contents reach In-
dore (why so late I know not) on the 24th ; and
thence, the line being in working order as far as
that capital, are immediately telegraphed by the
Resident to Lord Elphinstone. This was the most
reliable source of the rumour which, however, had
reached us from other sources, and was also a
matter of current gossip in the bazaar. I trust that
it is true, but I dare not assert that it is, nor even
that I believe it, or that others believe it to be
more than the forecast shadow of the coming event.
May the event come quickly ! Of the discomfiture
of the mutineers by General Barnard, on the Bth,
tiegraphed to Bombay in time to find a place in
my last, we have since received such details as a
hasty despatch, written after the action to the Com-
mander-in-Chief, can afford. Marching from Ali-
pore at 1 in the morning, the General found a
enemy intrenched in a strong position or line of
positions covering Delhi. By 9 o'clock he had
carried the whole of them in the face of a stubborn
resistance, and had driven the mutineers within
the walls of the city, upon which he was intend-
ing to open with his heavy artillery, without a
moment's delay. The Ghoorkas, Sappers and
Miners, and other Native troops engaged (irregulars
I believe) behaved admirably, as did thecontingents
furnished by the tributary Rajahs. One
officer only was killed, Colonel Chester, Adjutant-
General of
,the army. The general loss is not men-
tioned, but 'stated as comparatively trifling. On
the following day, the 9th, as we learn by a notifi-
cation issued from the Judicial Commissioners
office at Lahore, a sortie of the mutine.rs took
place. They were attacked by the cavalry of the
Guides, which bad joined the army, and driven
hawk to ti.e walls by a brilliant and successful
charge, in which however, the commandant, Qutn-
tin Bettye, fell mottally wounded. Upon the re-
pulse of this sally we may presume that the siege
was pressed with renewed vigour, possibly to the
capture of the place on the 12th ; but I confess I
am prepared to hear that complete success was not
quite so readily attained. The Generals, Reed and
Barnard, might find it advisable, I imagine, to thin
the numbers of the insurgent soldiery and towns-
people by a sustained fire of shot and shell, previ-
ous to committing their small force to the despe-
rate chances of a storm and a street combat.

" JULY 1.

" I had written thus far when I found that the
mail steamer would be detained till t'lis afternoon.
We have bad further news from Delhi—news cor-
rective of the above report, and corroborative of
my doubts of its truth. Whatever else may be
uncerain, that Delhi was not taken on the 12th of
last month is perfectly certain. It was still in pos-
session of the mutineers on the 16th, the date of
our latest accounts from the army. On the 13th
or
14th a second sortie was made from the city, in
which the mutinied 60th late of the Umballah
garrison, took a leading part. Like that of the 9th,
it was repulsed with severe loss, and on this, as
on the former occasion, the gallantry and conduct
of the Corps of Guides was eminent. I find that
not only, as I supposed, the cavalry of the corps,
but also the infantry, are with the army, the latter
having been brought down from the Puujaub on
camels. The cavalry made the astonishing march
of 750 miles iu 28 days. It were well if the Gene-
ral commanding could get a few thousand men i
like these, for of reinforcements he is sorely n
need, and for want of them be was, on the 16th, ,
pausing in his attack. By the 21st, however,
be would, it is thought, receive a considerable
addition to his strength in the European troops
of the Jullundur Brigade, set free to act beyond
the limits of the station by the mutiny and flight
of the native portion of the brigade, the 6th Ca-
valry, and the 36th and 61st Infantry, who rose on
the night of the Bth, and were chased out of can-
tonments till they dispersed. The Bth Foot, Major
Olpherts' troop of Horse Artillery (first of the Ist
Brigade), and the head-quarters of theist Battalion
of Foot. Artillery, are thus rendered available in
whole or in part ; and from Ferozepore, since the
mutinies and the disarming, her Majesty's 61st is
able to spare a wing for Delhi, and two companies,
I believe, of artillery. It is in the latter arm that
the besieging force is especially weak, while the
rebels are actually said to have no less than 150
guns in position. True, theyhave very few artillery-
men, only one company, to work them, but even in
the hands ofSepoys the great guns may do a good
deal of mischief. Their numbermay be exaggerated
but it is to be remembered that the rebels have the
great arsenal of Delhi in their undisputed posses-
sion. You will be anxious to know what number of
theinsurgent soldiers has collected in Delhi, while
Generals Reed and Barnard were waiting fel. rein-
forcements. On the 16th, according to the Judicial
Commissioner of Lahore (the best authority now-
a days, fur the telegraph is in working order be-
tween his city and the camp before Delhi), 3,000
of the rebels were encamped outside the Ajmere-
gate, and the force of the mutineers in Delhi ap-
pears not to exceed a few thousands, even with the
addition of the 60th Native Infantry and some
others
i who have lately joined them.' There is a
vagueness in this account which, though perhaps
inevitable, is unsatisfactory. The phrase some
.
others' it may be feared an elastic one. Allowing
that the mutineers
of Jullundur and Phillonr
(where the 3d Native Infantry have risen) are un-
able to reach the revolted cspital, still from Allaha-
bad and even Benares, in the south (of which more
presently), and from the Rohilcuad stations in the
east, there i.!; nothing to prevent the rebellious

consideration
i d
ertthe contrary, I regard it highly satisfactory that
the revolt has chosen for itself bnt one centre,
for, that annihilated, it is utterly broken. Only
knowing the vital importance of this conflict to
think this known
which our generals are committed, the smallness
of the force under their command—which, even
with reinforcements, will hardly, I imagine, reach
6,000 men—the great extent of the city (five or
six miles from north to south), its populousness,
and the fact that on the eastern or river side it is
now entirely open to the mutineers to receive men
or supplies from
the Doab —we must not mur-
mur against our chief.
if some days yet elapse
before we hear that the place is taken. Already
have appeared symptoms of this hasty and ignorant
criticism. Poor General Anson was accused of
culpable inaction till it wee found he had been

waiting, and of course most wisely, for the siege-
train from Phillon, having nothing but field
pieces with him. Doubtless the delay in the cap-
ture of Delhi has loett unfortunate. It has led
to the open mutiny of several rotten-hearted regi-
ment., a fact in itself, pe-haps, causing no great
loss to the State; Riving where European life was
taken. But let it ba'rem-mbered that the game
to be played. out at Delhi is one of which it is im-
possible to overestimate the value of the stakes,
and tm-, therefore, not to be lightly taken in hand,
nor to be conducted otherwise than in a cautious,
if also in an aret:ilind vigorous mood. I. have no
rear that the blowAsiiL be struck soon enough for
the security of flt*iiiipire. And when the retri-
bution has come,:ie-corne it surely will, when the
ouppet King saf::9ePii is taken or slam,, when
the streets of hts capital are choked with dead, and
every Ertglitsk*onet is bent and bloody with the
strifez then yVt.tilgille,ar of the ghastly tales of the
atrocities j4erliblajA the accursed city, unsur-

recorded in the hiStcit:y of the cruelle4 sink of a
captured town, and will rejoice that, yoti4tagr-
dered countrymen and countrywomen are if
fearfully revenged.

" But to complete the catalogue of mutinies
and disarmings known up to the present moment.
When 1 closed my laiit I c ticu!atel that, in one
way or another, some 28 regiments of regular in-
fantry had ceased to carry arms for the Company.
I now count upwards of 40,—perhaps as high as
46. In hohilcund probably all the four regiments
are gone, certainly the two at Bareillye—the 18th
and 68th, with the Bth Irregular Cavalry and a
company of Native Foot Artillery. Most of
.the
officers have escaped, it is believed, to the hill sta-
tion of Nynee Tat or elsewhere, but the Brigadier,
Sibbald, is said to have ;fallen"; and many civilians
are missing. Cawnpore, we believe, has been saved
by the arrival of the 84th and of the 64•11, the
latter from Bombay. But the 12th Native In-
fantry has mutinied in Bundlecund, and at Allaha-
bad the Gth Native Infantry, which had been loud
in its protestations of loyalty, and of its desire to
be led against Delhi, rose and murdered Captain
Bird, the Fort Adjutant, and all the Europeans
they could lay hands upon. The rest took refuge
in the fort, where they are still in safety, the muti-
neers having marched for Delhi. At Benares the
37th Native Infantry mutinied on an attempt being
made to disarm them Joined by the 13th Ir-
regular Cavalry and the Sikh Regiment of Lood-
hiaua, they killed Captain Guise, of the cavalry,
and attacked the guns of the European company
of artillery, but were repulsed by a discharge of
crape, and by the resolute attitude of a handful of
the Queen's:l3th and of the Madras Fusilieeis. At
Azimghur the 19th mutinied, and shot their Adju-
tant, Lieutenant Hutchinson. At Gliazeepore
the 65th has been disarmed. At Jaunpore the
detachment of the Loodhiana. Regiment followed
the example of the head-quarters at Benares, killed
Mr. Cuppage, the civilian, and badly wounded
Lieutenant Mara, their commanding officer. All
this in the Benares district. The rest of the Dina-
pore division has been quiet, with the exception of
one deplorable occurrence at Rohnee. Major Mac-
donald, Sir Norman Leslie, and Dr. Grant, three
officers of the sth Irregular Cavalry, were attacked
one evening when sitting [in the verandah of the
Major's house. Sir Norman was killed on the
spot, and the other two severely wounded. The
assassins, at first supposed to be disbanded Seyops,
belonged, it now appears, to their own regiment,
and have been given up for execution by their com-
rades. The Barrackpore or Presidency division, as
you will hear more fully from Calcutta, was so
much agitated as to render it advisable to disarm
all the troops at head-quarters, consisting of the
2d, the remaining three companies of the 34th, the
43d, and the loyal 70th, which the authorities,
with the treachery of the Gth before their eyes, pro-
bably thought ' doth protest too much.' Our 78th
Highlanders, so lately facing Persian guns at
Khooshab, and the companies of the 37th, brought
up from Ceylon, superintended the proceedings.
At Calcutta the native militia was disarmed and
volunteer corps raised. The King of Oude was
arrested, and his alleged complicity with the rebels
may, it proved, somewhat effect the case which is
being pressed at home by the august lady in the
New-road.

" Turning back to the North-west, we pause for
an instant in Oude to see the gallant and able Sir
Henry Lawrence grimly busy in hanging the mu-
tineers at Lucknow, with loaded field-pieces and
lighted port fires on either side the scaffold, and to
hope there is no truth in the report that he has
been-eurvod-40 44-40.11 den the capital, and fall back
upon Oawnpore. Pass rapidly through the Doab,
nothing new has happened to detain us, though it
will take an army from Allahabad or Cawnpore
y
one of these days to restore it to tranquillity.
Crossing the Sutlej we find; as I have already inti-
mated Jullunder deserted b its native forces, the
6th Light Cavalry and the 36th and 61st Native
Infantry; and Phillourvacated by the 3d. Through-
out the Punjab the flying column, of which the
nucleus and main strength are the 52d Light In-
fantry, has been doing its work well. No further
outbreaks have taken
place. Many mutineers
have been banged or blown from guys at Peshawur,
Ferozepore, Lahore, and Mooltan. Near the first
; ,
of these stations, the 64th Native Infantry have
been disarmed • at the last the 620, 69th, and a
native troop of Horse Artillery. Of the march of
the Bombay Fusileers, I shall speak presently.
" It remains to consider the position of the
great tract of Central India to the southward and
westward of Delhi, with its numerous independent
chiefs. Approaching the district from the north,
I have first to note that the contingent of the
Jheemd Rajah has been doing true and loyal ser-
vice under the walls of Delhi. In his neighbour-
hood are the British stations at Elansi and Hissar.
Het e the Hurrianah Light Infantry battalion has
mutinied, killing, it is feared, Lieut. Barwell, and
other Europeans. The levies of the Rajah of
Bhurtpore to whom was committed the charge of
keeping open the road open between Delhi and
Agra, proved faithless, and their officers, Captains
Nixon and Munbee, of the Bombay army, scarcely
regained Bhurtpore with their lives. The Ulwar
Horse are, it is feare3, equally false. The Kotah
contingent was at the latest dates still loyal, posted
between Agra and Muttra with two guns. Of the
United Malwa Contingent the cavalry regiment
I has gone. Despatched, the head-quarters of it,
from Mahidpore to follow up and attack the Nee-
much mutineers, itself mutinied, slew the cificers
—Brodie and Hunt—and, returning to camp, en-
deavoured, but in vain, to induce the infantry and
artillery to follow their example. The other wing
stationed at Indore abandoned their quarters, but
without committing any act of violence. Ajmere
is [safe, garrisoned partly by the flying Bombay
column from Decca, partly by the Mhairwarra bat-
talions. The deserted station of Nusseerab has
been reoccupied by the Bombay Lancers. But
what is Scindia doing ? This is a question of grave
moment, and one not readily to be answered at
present. We know that the 7th Infantry Regi-
ment of his contingent mutinied at Neemuch.
We know that the telegraph wire has been cut
near Seepree, and all regular communication
with Agra, beyond Indore, interrupted ; and we
have reason to believe that both at Seepree and at
Augur the regiments of the contingent have
risen. Indeed, I know that fears are enter-
tained in the beet informed quarters that the
whole of the contingent (which consists of four
companies of artillery, two regiments of cavalry,
and seven of infantry) have turned against
us, with the exception of three companies which
garrison the isolated fort of Asseeghur in this pre-
sidency. Then, what will Scindia do ? Will he
be allured into believing that our power is on the
wane, and into declaring against us, or will he, at
the

even to the death ? Like his fathers before him,

a man, with the command, moreover, of considera-
ble treasures, has the stuff in him to work us much
good or ill. Indore, the seat of his rival, Holkar,
is perfectly tranquil, and is likely to remain so.
The British station of Mhow, in its immediate
neighbourhood, is garrisoned iu part by the head-
quarter wing of the lst Bengal Cavalry, of which
the other wing mutinied at Neemucb. It is, how-
ever, safe at present, and the approach of the Bom-
bay column from Poonah will probably keep it so.
indeed, but I think
tolerably complete,
this sketch—hasty
with the aid of a
map, in t elligible—l'quit the Bengal Presidency and
tcau
turn to those of Madras and Bombay. The chief,
perhaps the only danger to be anticipated by the
Government of Fort St. George is a rising in the
Nizam's country. One regiment of that Sovereign's
contingent, as we 5b:,..11 presently see, has shown
itself disaffected, -and been punished accordingly,
but One riiiy 1 and the Nizaan himself is, in all

probability, too much overawed by the powerful
force cantoned at Secunderabad, close to his capital,
to entertain a thought of revolt. At Kamptee, in
Nagpore, a regiment of the newly-raised contin-
gent sh aved unpleasant symptoms, but the regu-
lar Madras troops are there in force, and are
thoroughly to be depended upon. Indeed, the want
of sympathy between the Bengal and the Madras
armies amounts to positive hatred. I read the'other
_ day in an Ettg:ieh piper of eminence that the divi-
sion of the whole force in India into three distinct
iirmies is "a clumsy anomaly:" That may be so;
but the clumsy anomaly had the strenuous support
of no less able a man than Sir Thomas Munro, and
I much question_ whether it has not iu this ewer
gency. saved India. The separate army of Madras
remains perfectly stanch, so does the separate army
of Bombay. The latter, indeed, from its position
in regard to the disturbed provinces, is able to give
something more then a mere passive d splay of loy-
alty. Not only have Lord Elphinston and his cotin-
cillors had the prudent temerity to dispatch to Cal-
cutta two out of the four Euglish regiments on t' e
Bombay establishment, but on three several point •
in Central India and the Punjanh Bombay columns,
each comprising a portion of native troops, have
marchei, and with the best effect. The Ist Fu-iliers
and the Ist Belooch baitalion have proceeded up
the Indus from Kurrachee to Mooltan, portions of
the Queen's 83d and the 12th Native Infantry, with
three Horse Artillery guns, have reached Ajraere
from Deese, and General Woodburn's column from
Poonah is advat.cing upon Mhow. The progress of
this latter corps up to this time may he traced in
some detail. Malligaum, on the great high road
from Bombay to Indore, was the rendezvous fer the
troops of this column. There is stationed the 19th
Native Infantry,. and. thither proceeded the 3d. Ca-
ntry of-the Hrterattla 'Contingent from Aurunga-
bad by a bad cross-road of 100 miles, which, how-
ever, they got over in a couple of days. So far all
was well, and General Woodburn, with his dra-
goons, 25 h Native Infantry, and Artillery, had
reached Ahmednugger from Poonah on their way
across the country to Malligaum, when he heard
that the Ist Cavalry of the Hyderabad Contingent,
which had succeeded the 3d at Aurtingabad, was
in a state of mutiny. So, instead of turning off
to Malligaum, he took his troops straight on TO
Aurungabad, attacked the mutinous part of the
regiment, some 150 in numbnr, dispersed them,
and captured about 60. The ringleader, a noted
native officer, was hanged at once. Whether any
o hers were executed I have not heard. From
Aurungabad. I imagine the General will proceed to
Mhow by the Ajunta Ghaut and Burhampoor,
calling the troops at Malligaum across the country
to join him before leaving.
" We have not been without our little alarms
either in Bombay, or in Poonah or elsewhere. But
no outbreak has taken place (for the Mahomedan
riots at Broach some time back, though ending in
bloodshed, arose only out of a local quarrel between
that people and the Parsees), nor did any sensible
person doubt the fidelity of the native troops, but
only the temper of the loose population of the ba-
zaars. At Poonab, the station was patrolled nightly
by parties of the 14th and 12th Lancers. At Sat-
tara, a man employed as a peon or chuprassie in
Government employ was apprehended and handed
over to the authorities by a party of the 22d Native
Infantry, with whose loyalty he was endeavouring
to tamper. He was hanged, " game" to the last,
and uttering passionate bursts of disaffection. A
troop of the 14th and a company or two of the 3d
Europeans went down from Poonah to aid the 22d
in case of a rising in this important and so lately
independent Mahratta city.
" A few words before I close this long letter as
to the steps taken to obtain additional means of co-
ercion. The left wing of the 86th (County Downs)
is coming over here from Aden to join the head-
quarters. Two of the Peninsular and Oriental
si eameis still in the Government employ have left
for the Mauritius to ask for the loan of the sth Fu-
sileer, or for the 33d, if it shall have reached the
island. If. this request is refkised they go on to the
Cape to see whether Sir George Grey cm spare us
a regiment or so. The troops on their way to
China will, it is said, be stopped at Singapore, with
consent of Lord Elgin, and sent up to Calcutta.
The whole press of India has been placed by an
Act that has ,ecently passed the Legislative Coun-
cil under a censorship—a step imperatively called
for by the indecent and disloyal manifestations
of joy at our difficulties which appeared in
sonic of the native prints at Calcutta. Here there
has been, to my knowledge, only one instance of
the kind, and the writer, a scoundrel of a Parsee,
received such a rating from our superintendent of
police—an iron Tunetio ‘: - •

Lugard and other Staff officers from Bushire, and
General he

the Persian prisoners have left Bombay for that
post. Lord Elphinstone is here, hard-worked, but
well ; the Commander-in-Chief of India is still at
Poonah. Sir Patrick Grant, by the way, has ar-
rived at Calcutta, and taken command of the Ben-
gal army. The late Colonel Chester is succeeded
by Brigadier Chamberlain as Adjutant-General,
and he, again, by Colonel Nicholson, another of
Sir John Lawrence's strong men.
"The monsoon has set in at last, but this June

REGIMENTS MUTINIED, DISBANDED, OR
DISARMED.
(From, the Bombay Times of July 1.)
It is extremely difficult to compress within the limits of
our summary the details which have reached us in the Ist
fortnight concerning the mutiny of the Bengal army. It
must suffice to say that the rebellion is universal in that
division of the Indian forces, and that it has been thought
necessary to diiarrn the very corps (the 70th Native
Infantry) which was publicly thanked by the Governor-
General in poison for its loyalty only three weeks ago,
while the 6th Regiment Native Infantry at Allahabad,
which had rivalledit in its expressions of attachment to the
Government, has risen upon its officers, and foully mur-
dered them.

It is with deep gratification that we turn for a moment
from the consideration of these painful events to notice the
fact that not a symptom of disaffection has appeared as
yet in the armies either of Madras or Bombay, which
manifest the most perfect loyalty in the presence of this
dangerous example ; and which repel indignantly every at-
tempt that has been made to seduce them from their alio-
giaace by emissaries from the Bengal troops. A statement
found its way into the Calcutta papers some time ago to the
effect that the 10th Madras Native Infantry had refused to
receive the cartridges in Burruah, but we have looked in
vain for any confirmation of the news.
Lot our readers glance down the subjoined list of regi-
ments which have either mutinied, or been disbanded or
disarmed within the last twa months, and they will pro-
bably understand the crisis that has overtaken us than by

The Bengal native army has ceased to exist. The regi-
ments which have not openly mutinied have ceased to be
trusted and are watched with much anxiety. The fall of
Delhi, which is still delayed, and which we await with in-
tense desire, will doubtless do more to quench the spirit
.ef this rebellion than any measure that can be adopted by
Government. The Delhi Raj has a powerful hold upon the
memory of India still; and while the city remains in the
hands of the rebels the country will be unsettled from the
Himalayas to Cape Coneorin. We are looking with much
anxiety towards the Nisain's country, the Ist Reginient of
Cavalry having revolted at Aurungabad, and a rising
occurred at Hyderabad.
Our readers are already in possession of the facts con-
nected with the disbaedments, disarmings' and mutinies
of the troops indicated in the above list, as far down as the
disarming at Meean Meer, and our attention must be mainly
directed to the events connected with the remainder of the
list. The following are the stations at which the troops
have broken out into open violence up to the date of our
advices :
, *Meerut *Nusseerabad Jullundur
1 *Delhi *Neemuch Azineghur
Ferozepore Benares Futtehghur
Allyghur *Flansi Jaunpore
Roorkee *Hisser *Bareilly
Murdaun *Jhansi sShabjehanpore 1
Lucknow Mehidpora
We have indicated by an asterisk those stations at which
the women and children of our countrymen have fallen
into the hands of the soldiery, and it is better to draw a
veil over the barbarities they endured from these merciless
fiends. At the remainder of these stations the officers
were murderously assaulted, the bungalows fired, and at
most of them the treasuries looted. Our columns will be
found to contain many detailed accounts of the Meerut,
Delhi, Lucknow, Nusseerabed, and Neemuch massacres,
reported in few words by last mail, and we pass on to the
consideration of the mutiny at Benares
At five o'clock on the evening of the 4th the brigade was
ordered out for the purpose of disarming the 37th Regi-
ment, who were known to be disaffected and in correspon-
dence with people in the city. The men were ordered to
appear on parade without their arms. Some companies
obeyed and did so, but others refused to give up their
arms and commenced firing at their officers. This ap-
peared to be the signal, for the rest of the regiment then
ran to the bells of arms ; the guns, however, began to pour
in the grape so sharply upon them, that they were glad to
beat a retreat ; only a few of the most determined rebels
still kept up a fire from the right wing at the officers. The
Sikh Regiment all this time remained quiet on parade,
passive spectators of the scene, but at this crisis they
loaded by order of Colonel Gordon. An ominous change
then came over them. The cavalry first turned, and then
with the Sikhs poured in a deliberate volley on the officers
standing around, three of whom fell. The artillery in re-
turn gave them a shower of grape, which sent them flying
off the parade.
About 100 of the mutineers were killed, and 200
wounded ; the rest bolted, throwing down their arms. The
mutineers of the Sikh regiment tried to capture the guns,
and were thrice repulsed with great loss. Only a few men
of the irregular cavalry and Sikh regiment stood firm ; all
the rest mutinied ; their discomfiture was complete, thanks
to the bravery of 180 European soldiers, who defended the
gnus, and charged and shot down the mutineers. Eight
only, instead of 35 as reported, of these brave soldiers
were killed and wounded. The lives of the civilians and
their families who had taken refuge in the collector's cut-
chery were saved by the presence and noble exertions of
Soorut Singh, a Sikh prisoner. He it was who went
among the Sikhs of the treasury guard, and prevented them
from rising after they had heard how the men of their
corps had been cut up, and by his influence they were kept
at their post until the next morning, when the treasure
was removed to cantonments under an escort of Europeans.
The portion of the Sikh corps over the treasury remained
staunch.

meat Nizam's Cavalry at AurungalL4.which took place
on the 16th instant. We are happy to believe that no Eu-
ropeans were killed, however, and General Woodburn's
moveable column, which fell in with the mutineera on the
23d, utterly routed and dispersed them.
The mutiny of the Bhurtpore Levies, under the com-
mand of Captain Nixon, and that of the Malwah Contin-
gent of Mehidpore, have come to supplement our difficul-
ties. The former troops were supposed to be actuated by
the best feelings towards us, forming part of the body
guard of his Highness the Maharajah of Gwalior. "Im-
mediately the news of the Neemuch disturbances reached
Captain Nixon he set out with the Bhurtpore Levies, ac-
companied by Captain Gore Mun bee, of the Bombay En-
gineers, who, though senior in army rank. to Capt. Nixon,
waived all etiquette in the matter, and placed himself
under that officer's command. They had only proceeded,
couple or three marches, when the men refused to be taken
against the mutinous Bengal Seyoys, and set the authority
of Captains Nixon and Munbee at defiance. These offi-
cers had to fly for their lives, and in doing so passed
through districts where they were frequently fired
upon by the insurgents, and, after many hair-breadth es-
capes, were fortunate eneugh to get safely to Bhurtpore,
where they now are, neither of them having, we rejoice to
say, sustained any injury." The infantry and artillery of
the Malwah Contingent are said to have remained loyal,
the cavalry reatiuying on the march to Neemuch and mur-
dering their officers, Lieutenants Brodie and Hunt.
