We have already explained how the Overland
Mails from Bombay and Calcutta having been sent
froin Alexandria by different steamships, that from
Calcutta, though it was despatched last, arrived first
at Marseilles, and consequently in London. By
this mail neither the Government nor the India
House received any intelligence from Bombay,
and their dates from Calcutta reached only to the
4th ult., whereas those from Bombay were to the
14th. Fortunately, our agent at Alexandria, with
most praiseworthy caution, sant us a copy of the
Bombay Times by the steamer which carried the
Calcutta mail, although the who'e Bombay
ma,il had been despatched several hours be-
fore, and it was this single copy which enabled
us on Friday to give our readers later intelligence
by ten days than had reached either the Govern-
ment or the India House. The Bombay mail has
since arrived, the slow steamer to which it was in-
trusted having been left far behind by that which
carriedthe Calcutta mail, and we are now enabled to
publish the letter of our Bombay correspondent,
which, notwithstanding its detention, will be found
most interesting, as conveying the best summary of
the details of the insurrection. It is dated Bombay,
July 14 :
" If you recollect what I wrote in my last latter
of the strength and extent of the city of Delhi, of
the numbers and resources of the rebels, of the
comparative.smallness of the force brought against
them, and of the consequent necessity of postponing
an attack till reinforcements in considerable strength
shoukt have arrived, you will be prepared to learn
that no news has yet reached us of the capture and
demolition of this great stronghold of revolt. Much
indeed may have happened, and I am disposed to
think has happened, since the date of our latest in-
telligence from the camp. Tidings of the progress of
events reach us but slowly, for, as I mentioned the
other day, the direct communication between this
and Agra being interrupted, we are dependent upon
communications from Lahore, to which city the
telegraph is at work from the camp, but from which
letters are 10 or 12 days getting to us. Thus we
have nothing from Delhi later than the 27th or 28th
of last month. But we learn from various points
of the Punjab that at that date reinforcements of
troops of all arms were rapidly converging upon
Delhi. By the end of the month the General
expected to find himself strengthened by fully
3,500 men, including the Bth Foot and a wing of
the 61st, a troop and two batteries of Artillery,
and some Punjab and other Irregulars, horse
and foot. Within a week or ten days from his
receiving this augmentation to his force—that is to
say, in all probability two or three days ago—he
would, it is believed, deliver the grand assault.
No regular approaches had been or would be made,
there has not been strength enough for that ;
the affair would, I am credibly informed, be
managed by blowing open a gate and entering
at the point of the bayonet. But come when
and how it might, I know that at the date of the
latest accounts from the camp those best qualified
to judge entertained not a doubt that the assault
would ,be successful. Our men, both Europeans
and natives, though hard worked, were well and
in capital spirits, while the pluck of the mutineers
was evidently on the wane. Their attacks which,
as we shall see presently, were at first of almost
daily occurrence, and were conducted with great
determination and perseverance, had become ,rare
and feeble. Nor does this show only that the flame '
of their enthusiasm is dying out,—it may be taken,
I think as establishing the fact that they had not
been reinforced of late by other bands of mutineers
to any considerable extent. Most of the earlier
attacks were doubtless conducted by successive
fresh arrivals, eager for the fray, and as yet lacking
the experience which their beaten comrades had
dearly bought. The feebleness of the latest demon-
stration from the city would seem to show that
that bitter lesson had been learnt by the whole
mass of the rebel soldiery congregated within it.
"But to give you shortly details of the...progress
of the siege, if siege it may be strictly called, so far
as they have reached us :—On the Bth of June it
was, as you are aware, that General Barnard ad-
vancinc, upon Delhi by the Kurnaul road, carried
one after another the fortified positions of the mu-
tineers, and drove them within the walls of the
city. The first of these positions was the strongest,
and there the principal loss of the day was sus-
tained, falling principally upon the 75th, who
charged and captured a battery of heavy guns in
position, losing one officer, Lieutenant Harrison,
killed, and several wounded. It was by a round
shot from one of the batteries posted at this point
that Colonel Chester was killed. The second posi-
tion was in rear of the first, and was constituted
by a line of heights between the cantonments and
the city. Upon this ridge, when captured, the
British line was established, with its left resting
upon a tower used as a signal-post, its centre upon
an old mosque, and its right upon a house with
enclosures strongly placed at the point where the
hills begin to slope down towards the plain, and
known by the name of its former owner, a ali-
ratta chief called Hindoo Rao. Owing to the
oblique podtion of the line of hills in regard to the
walls the right is in advance, the left thrown back,
the mean distance from the city being, to judge
from the plan that lies before me, about a mile and
a quarter. In this position the army was at-
tacked by a sortie on the very next evening, the
9th, and lost in repelling it, as I mentioned in my
last, Battye of the Guides, a gallant and valuable
officer. On the 16th came another assault, met and
repulsed like that of the day before, this time prin-
cally by the Ghoorkas, who defeated with great
loss an attempt of the mutineers to carry our bat-
tory at Hindoo Rao's heuse. On the morning of
the 12th a most determined and well-planned as-
sault was made upon both extremities of our line
at once. On the right, at Hindoo Rao's house, the
attack was promptly defeated, and the troops at
that post (60th Ghoorkas and Guides) slew consider-
able numbers of the enemy, 50 of them in one gar-
den, it is said. But on the left there seems to have
been something of a surprise. The battery at the
signal tower was surrounded, and would probably,
but for the signal gallantry of a picket of the 75th,
have been captured. The flank of the position was
in imminent danger of being turned. But the nine-
pounder battery in the centre opened fire, supports
were brought up rapidly, and at length, though not
till after a hard fight of two hours, the enemy gave
way at all points. The loss on this day fell chiefly
upon the 2d Europeans and the 75th. Captain
Knox of the latter regiment was shot through the
head while leading his men to the tower battery.
On the day following a large enclosure in advance
of our left, known as Metcalfe-house, was occupied
by our troops, and the erection of a battery of
heavy guns and mortars commenced. Against this
battery a sortie was directed ou the 15th, but was
repulsed without difficulty, as had been another
earlier in the same day against our right. On the
17th an affair took place in which we were the assail-
ants. That morning a shot from the city struck the
corner of Hindoo Rao's house, and, glancing off,
killed Lieutenant Wheatley, of the late 54th,
attached to the Ghoorkas, and (it is said) six men.
Having this advanced post of ours well under fire
in front, the enemy determined to attempt it also
in flank, and for this purpose commenced on the
17th to throw up a battery outside the western
gates of the town, at a large building known as
the Eedghab. There they were attacked that same
afternoon by Major Toml a' troop of Horse Artillery,
some cavalry, Rifles, and Ghoorkas, and beaten out
of the place with the loss of the only gun they had
had time to bring out, all their ammunition, and,
perhaps, 100 lives. For this achievement the
Major received high commendation from General
Barnard, who rode over to his positiou for the pur-
pose. Two days later—on the nth—appeared the
mutineers from Nusseerabad,.the late 15th and 30th
Regiments, with the. battery of artillery that the
Bombay Lancers vainly attempted to rescue, and
made an audacious irruption into the rear of our
lines. They were encountered at first by the troops
of the Rajah of Jheend, who behaved extremely
well, and afterwards by the 9th Lancers and Ar-
tillery. On the following morning they renewed
the attack, and were finally repulsed with upwards
of 200 killed. Our loss was, however, severe.
Colonel Yule, of the 9th Lancers, was killed, and
Lieutenant liumphrys, of the late 20th, and Alex-
ander, of the late 3d. The wounded officers were
Colonel Becher, Daly of the Guides, and four of
the Rifles, whose names are not given. The 21st
and 22d were quiet so far as sorties are concerned,
thouela the batteries on either side were busy as
usual ; but on the 23d " the enemy attacked us,"
so rum the aneso,ge gent to Lahore, "in great force

from the Subzee Mundee side (on our right flank
and rear), and fought most desperately the whole
day long. They had a strong position in a village
and among the garden walls. Our loss has been
very considerable." Later accounts say that the
enemy's dead were counted at the close of the day
by hundreds, the aggregate being estimated at not
less than 1,000. This terrible defeat appeared to
have cowed their spirit, for the three following
days they never showed outside the walls, and
when, on the 27th, they did come out, they con-
fined themselves t 3 distent skirmishing, appearing
entirely to have lost the vigour and resolution that
had characterised their behaviour on previous occa-
sions.
" While the3e scenes have bsen enacting at Delhi
the disintegration of the Bengal army has pro-
gressed well nigh to completion. I count now
only 16 or 17 line regiments out of 74 that. are
bearing arms for the Company. In the Punjaub,
which remains perfectly quiet, two or more regi-
ments intended for service either with the moveable
column or against Delhi, the 33d and 35th, have
been disarmed at Philour. The 29th, at Morade-
bad, have followed the example of the other three
regiments in R,ohilcund, which had mutinied earlier.
Fortunately, by the way, the men of these corps
have not got to Delhi ; at least, when last heard of,
they were detained on the further side of the Gun-
ges, prevented from crossing by the rise of the river.
All the officers of the 29th escaped. Lower down
the Ganges, at Fut; yghur, the 10th Native Infan-
try had long maintained its loyalty, though sur-
rounded by mutiny on every side. At last they
broke, but without doing violence to their officers
or the general body of resident-. A ghastly story,
however, is current, that the fugitives on their pas-
sage clown the river in boats were interrupted near
Cawnpore, dragged on shore, and massacred. At
Cawnpore itself, which when last I wrote I hoped
was safe, the-three native infantry regiments and.
the one of cavalry, had already mutinied. Sir.
Henry Wheeler has, however, maintained his posi-
tion there, and has been strengthened by detach-
ments of Madras Fusileers and other regiments.
Colonel Neill, commanding the Fusileers, is the
officer of whom I told you the story of the arrest of
the railway officials at Calcutta. He has since
done good service in the Valley of the Ganges, as
at Benares and Allahabad. At the latter station,
with a small body_ of his men and the loyal Sikh
Regiment of Ferozepore, he inflicted upon the
mutineers a loss so severe as effectually to quiet
their spirit and to introduce a tranquillity that
has not since been disturbed. Indeed., from
Allahabad downwards to Calcutta all may be
considered. safe. Brigadier Havelock, who went
round to Calcutta on his return here from
Persia, is collecting an European force at
Allahabad, which is the nucleus of that large army
that we hope in a few weeks to see concentrated
at that point. He has the whole or the greater
part of the 78th, 64th, 84th, the Madras Fusiliers,
and a wing of the 37th. The 10th, I fancy, re-
mains at Dinapore, where its presence has no doubt
greatly contributed. to keep the native portion of
the brigade quiet.
"As for Oude, I fear it may be said that the
whole of the Contingent is gone—nor the Contin-
gent only, but also the 22d Native Infantry at
Fyzabad, with a company of native artillery.
These latter troops treated their officers with re-
spectful deference, and supplied them with boats to
escape down the river Gogra, which joins the
Ganges at Dinapore. -On the passage down the
fugitives were attacked, and several, it is feared,
kith d. Sir Henry Lawrence, with the 32d and
artillery, and such of the native portion of the
Lucknow force as has remained. staunch, still holds
the capital. From the large civil station of Fut-
tehpore, between Allahabad and Cawnpore, the re-
sidents fled across the Ganges to Banda, There the
Nawab received and entertained them kindly. But
they had not been there many days when, on the
14th of June, the detachment of Native Infantry
and the Nawab's troops rose together, and they fled
to Nagode, which all of them reached in safety.
There the 50th Native Infantry is stationed, and
has not yet, to our knowledge, exhibited any un-
pleasant symptoms. But one cannot but feel very
doubtful of its fidelity, so rapidly has the contagion
spread. The important station of Saugor, with its
31st and 42d Native Infantry and 31 Irregular
Cavalry, is gone, though the English company of
Artillery, with its guns, and we hope the unarmed
residents also, is safe in the fort. • Jubbulpore,
where the 521 Native Infantry is stationed, is cer-

We are come to Central India. Here the d
Whole
of the Gwalior Contingent—artillery, cavalry, qin
infantry—is up, as I told you in my last it was
anticipated. The majority of the. officers, with
their wives and children, reached Agra in safety,
but several are reported to have fallen, though
we may hope that in this case, as in others, the list
first published will be subsequently reduced. Whe-
ther or no Scindie has identified himself with the
cause of his mutinous soldiery is not yet known.
He may be stanch, perhaps, or even probably is ;
but the old woman, his adoptive grandmother (I
believe that is the relation between them), who goes
by the name of the By e-za-bye, is undoubtedly busy
bringing to bear against us her implacable zeal and
her well-filled treasury. I know that she has sent
emissaries under the guise of complimentary visits
to the kindred chieftains of Baroda and Kolapore,
causing to die British resident at the former station
an unnecessary amount of disquiet, of which more
presently. At Kolapore the resident failed to ob-
serve the ulterior object of the mission, but on re-
porting the circumstance was instantly directed to
desire the arrest of the emissary.
" But if the proceedings and designs of Scindia
aro as yet hidden from us, those of the other great
Mahratta chief of Central India are fully known.
The capital of Holkar, no less than the capital of
his rival, has been the scene of revolt. Two of his
personal regiments (he has no contingent) mutinied
at Indore on the Ist of this month. On the morn-
ing of that day Colonel Durand, the acting resident,
observing suspicious symptoms, despatched an ex-
press to Mhow for the European battery at that
station, eommauded by Captain Hungerford. That
officer set out at once, but was met on the road by
a counter order, informing him that the anticipated
mutiny had broken out, and that Colonel Durand.
had fled. Captain Hungerfordretraced his steps to
Mhow, but the news from Indore arrived there with
or before him, and that same evening the 23d Na-
tive Infantry rose, with the right wing of the Ist
Cavalry, of which the left had alrclady mutinied at
Neemuch. Col. Platt of the 23d fell, with his adju-
tant Fagan, and Major Harris commanding the ca-
valry. The rest of the officers, with the women and
children, and Captain Hungerford with his guns,
got safely into the fort, anti the mutineers after
firing the cantonments decamped. Without a day's
delay Holkar sent down a special messenger to the
Bombay Government, informing them of his regret
at what had taken place, assuring them that he
should always be what he had hitherto been, the
faithful friend of the English, and promising to
raise fresh and trustworthy levies for the punish-
ment of the mutineers and the preservation of
order. Nor has he confined himself to mere pro-
testations of loyalty. He has proved his sincerity
by sending his treasure, to the amount of 24 lass
of rupees, into the fort of Mhow, where Captain
Hungerford is opening a gallant front to the danger,
and declares that he can readily hold out till re-
lieved. Telegraphic communication with Mhow,
interrupted for a few days, was restored yesterday,
The country round was reported tranquil. Colonel
Durand was safe at Sehore, in the Bhopal coun-
try, and o n hearing of Holkar's fidelity, and of the
departure of the mutinous regiments for Delhi,
would doul etless return to Indore.

Well, then, the known spirit of the Boulb y
army, its want of sympathy, that is to say, wit
that of Bengal, operated at Mhow to check disaf
fecdon, and would probably have continued to do
so had the column not been directed to Au,

the mutinous regiment, of which several
men were brought in prisoners from a pt.iaci,

or otherwise executed. This well-thr.ed se-
verity has awed that part of the country, and this
column now advances on Mhow, comirtanded by
Colonel Stuart, the General having fallen sick.
Two guns, however, are left at Aur ungabad, and
another squadron of Dragoons are gone there from
Poonah with two Horse Artillery guns. Moreover,
a force will move there front Secunderabad. So I
hope our Nizam's frontier is safe. On the direct
road to Mhow have moved 250 of the 86th, brought

spirit, have reached the Nerbudda, but will not
cross it. They will move along the left bank till
they fall in with the column advancing from Aurun.
gabad. The important fortress of Asseerghur, OR
that line of march, is safe,. the eompanies of the
Gwalior Contingent that occupied it having been -
cleverly got rid of by the commandant, and after-
wards partly disarmed by a party of the Bheel
Corps.
" Guzerat is quite safe, and the disquiet excited
at Baroda by the news from Indore will die out
when it is known that Holkar is stanch. Sa..tara
is quiet. Search is being made fur an ex-Vakeel of
the late Rajah, who excited the man to attempt
the fidelity of the 221 (of whom I reported in my
last the execution), and who appears to have been
hatching a very complete and deliberateplot against
us. The native officer of the 22d who gave up the
spy has been rewarded with the order of British Na-
dia, and the behaviour of the sepoy has also been
suitably acknowledged. Among other meas-ares
taken by the present Government in this question on
its own responsibility is the addition of 2 companies
to each of the 29 regiments of this army. They
will be raised entirely from the low caste people of,
the Deccan and the coast, and thus will completel-y
turn the scale of num'oer3, which is now pretty
evenly balanced between the men of that class and
the natives of Hindostan. The native officers will
be appointed from their own regiment', and thus
the new companies will at once he firmly bound to
the old. Again, the sending of two steamers to
the Cape was a proceeding adopted by this Govern-
ment on its own responsibility, and will be a suc-
cessful one. By the way, I should mention that the
Nubia, on her passage down the Hoogly the other
day with the English mail, met the Simoom going
up, with the sth Fusiliers on board, who bad been
shipped at the Mauritius for Hongkong, and been
intercepted at the Straits of Sunda. This we hear
by telegraph from Madras.
