some resistance, the insurgent was hemmed in in
Ketrie, where his followers made terms for
themselves, while he escaped with a few at-
tendants.

The next point of interest in the north of India
was the great enthusiasm raised for the libera-
tion of Colonel Stoddart from Bokhara. A con-
siderable subscription was raised for the purpose
of defraying the expense of sending a person
thither to examine into the truth of his confine-
ment and of his safety. It is thought that no-
thing further will be done in India until the
result of Dr. Wolff's mission is known.
The accounts from Snide are melancholy,
from the extraordinary sickness prevalent
amongst the troops. Out of an army of about
13,000 men about one-third was in the hospital.
The cause of the sickness is said to be the un-
healthiness of the climate after the subsiding of
the Indus, when the exhalations produced by a
glowing sun over an extensive muddy surfiice are
exceedingly dangerous. Fortunately, the mor-
tality was comparatively but little, as most of
them easily recover, although much debilitated
from the fever and boils.
The most exaggerated accounts are circulated
respecting- the sickness, but there appears to be
but little danger apprehended from any of the
neighbouring tribes. Sir C. Napier was at Kur-
rachee, where his lady had joined him. He Pur-
posed to go to Hyderabad in the beginning of
December, and, with a considerable body of
troops, to proceed to look out for healthful situa-
tions, at arhich the troops are to be stationed in
future. There seems to be but little doubt that
ic lie will succeed, for one of the great causes of
skness
been to has been, that men have frequently
sated in places where the natives had
accumulated filth, which, under the influence of
rain
arid sun, produced the evil now so bitterly
entuPlained of.

CHINA.
Me news from China extends to the begin-
-DIII%C- of October. The most important intelli-
gence was the arrangement of a supplementary
treaty between the Chinese and the British Go-
vernments ; one clause of which is for the pur-
pose of guaranteeing to all foreign nations the
'same privileges of trade as to the British them-
This will have the effect of rendering
unnecessary all negotiations between the
Chinese Emperor and the other Powers.

The Chines
