t 1.4) Balla llissur, sorely pressed by the other parties, who
:Appear to have combined against him ; he wrote on the
Bth May to General Pollock describing his condition,
and entreating him for assistance. Another report
states that he has joined Mahomed Akbar—the occu-
=pants of Balla Hisser having at once succumbed to him
without firing a shot, One rumour states that the Sir-
dar has now an army of 50,000 men waiting on his plea-
sure. A letter of the 26th, received just before going to
press,. states that accounts of his having been entirely
defeated at Caubul about the 20th had just reached Jel-
lalabad. The 'revolutionary war seems to rage with un-
abated ferocity around Caubul. We know nothing as
to particulars. There appear, to have been three chil-
dren bornin captivity amongst the prisoners. The trea-
sure chest at Jellalabad for 12,000 men contained, on the
22d May, no more than 60,0001.—the pay of the army
alone, irrespective of extraordinary expenses, amounted
to 10,f110/. a week. There was a month's pay due, so
that when this was expended, as it must be immediately,
the treasure would be reduced to 20,000 L

LATEST FROM JELLALABAD.
Our
.letters from Jellalabad extend to the 27th ult.,
and present anything but a cheerful view of the state of
the army, and if the signs which are manifesting them-
selves are to be taken as genuine evidences of coming
events, we strongly incline to the belief that a retrograde
movement haS been finally determined upon, especially
as our ailvices from Simlah state positively that tido
march towards the provinces was to commence on the
4th instant—a pretty convincing proof, notwiaistanding
all that his been hinted at in certain high quarters, that
the Cotinuander-in-Chief made -no other mistake than
that of allowing the determination of withdrawing the
army to become more public thalt was intended.

"Camp, Friday, May 27.
"Further accounts have been received to-day from
Caubul, stating that after Akbar's defeat and retreat
fri3eirthe city he again came forward with guns, expect-
ing to inipire.his antagonists with fear ; but this was
'not the case, Futteh Jung sallied out, beat off Akbar
Khan, and killed 150 of his followers. Report gives

lives of the prisoners, and if this is not done she tears

thither- ; it is generally thought we are to move on Mon-
day next.., In tea, coffee, and sugar, we have enough in
hand for about six weeks, but as there is abundance
of these kinds of stores at Peshawur (as also rum) our
C.;,anmissariat may be considered to have a supply in
hand for all the troops for nine months ; the grain will
be ripe at Caubul . next month. Appearances indicate
that at present everything is working together for our
gef)d. - ti xi grant it may be so is the sincere wish of
him whom you are pleased to call your indefatigable cor-
revondexit."—Delkt Gazette, June 8.
We haVe letters from Dhakka up to the 26th May,
which, We regret to say, give anything but a glowing pic-
ture of the state of the troops at that place. Epidemic
bowel complaints prevailed throughout the camp, and
fears were entertained that the freedom from mortality
which they had hitherto enjoyed would not be of long
continuance. Of course little or nothing relating to in-
tended movements had transpired there.—lbid.

CANDAHAR.
Mre have intelligence of the 25th from Candahar, and
of the 22d from Kelat-i-Ghilzie. At the latter place a
fight had occurred on the 2 lst.., The enemy advanced in
two columns, each of about 2,000 strong. They were
provided with scaling ladders to take the fortress -by
storm or escalade. They succeeded in placing ono of
their standards on the wall, and some of them actually
tumbled over the parapet. They were, however, after a
sharp action of two hours, everywhere driven back.
Four ,standards were captured, and 104 men left dead
upon the field ; our troops having sallied out, completed
the rout. The prisoners, in attempting to escape, were
all cut up by us. Our casualties amounted to one killed
and three badly wounded. •
Ca V Airy are very greatly wanted. The Candahar bri-
gade, v, inch left ~.n1 the 20th, was expected to arrive on
the 25th ; it was commanded by Col. Wymer, and not
by General. Sat, as formerly stated.
Suftex Jung was once more endeavouring to assemble
an 'artily in the field. He had collected about 6,000, and
intended to make an attack on Cadahar about the 29th.
It was said that, should he carry this resolution into
effect, General Nott proposed tO march out with three
regiments and some
.guns to attack him on his advance,
while crossing the river on his way to the town. This
arrangement looks still less like an advance beyond
Kelat-i-Ghilzie than that adverted to when Gen. Nott
was understood to take command, Gen. England remain-
ing behind.—Bernbly Times, June 18.

CANDAHAR AND QUETTAH.
The brigade of 2,700 men, under General England,
with-3.500 camels and 100.0001. in treasure, besides am-
munition, medical and miscellaneous stores, which left
Quettah on the 26th April, experienced no interruption
after reaching the mouth of the.Kujjuck Pass. They
were there joined by Colonel Wymer's brigade sent to
meet, them, and reached Candahar on the 9th-May. The
joint force amounted to about 10,000 men, including two
Queen's regiments (40th and 44th, each 800 strong),
with a park of 22 guns besides mortars. Kelat-i-Ghilzie -
-a fort about 80 miles to the westward, occupied by
I, ton men with four guns, itself very strong and well
*upplied—,having been reported as beset by very superior'
numbrrs of the enemy, Colonel Wymer was dispatched
Le its' relief on the 20th of May. lie tool: Ivith him a
detuliment about 5,500 strong, including her Majesty's
40th, and accompanied by six or eight guns. His ob-
lect is supposed: to be the relief of the tUrt, and with-
drawal of the garrison. The enemy having on the 21st
Mae advanced, 4,000 strong, in two columns, on the
g;c succeeded in reaching the walls and plant-
tug a banner on the parapet,' when they were beaten
back with a loss of NO men and four standards,
Colonel Stacy having been detached with a considerable
force to attack a very numerous encampment under
Junggoo Khan, dispersed the enemy everywhere. They
fled before him, indeed, without so much as fighting.
It is supposed that, after it is seen what can be done
for the recovery of our prisoners and hostages by some
manceuvring in the direction of Ghuznee—we -do not
imagine the fortress itself will be Sought—the whole
army will fall back on Quettah, and there remain till
the approaching winter enables them to return through
Scinde to India. Major Reid, with the 12th Native
Infantry, and some irregulars, in charge of 4,000 camels.
with ammunition, stores, and 100,0001. of treasure,
reached Quettah on the 10th of May ; and there they
fur the present continue. They were to move out on
t:e 9th of June ; and after having delivered their
stores to General Nott, take. up a position- at Killa
Abdoolah—probably with a view of covering our re-
treat. The communication which for some time was
entirelyinterruntted between Candahar and Quettah, has
now been fairly opened up ; the Naibship of the Pi-
sheen Valley having been conferred on the chief; he takes
charge of our letters and despatches. The works at
Quettah continue to be strengthened, with a view, we
presianc, of securing the commissariat and troops in
ease. of sudden attack, as we can scarcely suppose that
it is meant to be held throughout -the winter, if the
other posts to the westward be abandoned. Thus all
returns to where it was before the war began—all, save
the 40,000 lives, British and natives, which have been •
sacrificed on both sides ; and the 17 millions of British
treasure, which, according to Sir Robert Pcel, has been
flung ;te-cy. Our latest dates from Quettah are to the
29th, Candahar 25tb, and Kelat-i-Ghilzie, 22d May.

INDIA.
(From the Bombay Times of June 23.)
CALCUTTA.
On the 3d of June a hurricane of fearful violence
visited Calcutta, destroying and seriously injuring no
fewer than forty vessels in the river, with a great loss of
human life, It scarcely visited Bombay, but its vicinage
was' manifested by the most extraordinary, and at the
same time inexplicable, depression of all barometric in-
struinenti. At Bombay a couple of old East. India Com-
pany China ships have been burnt within a week of each
ether when just ready for sea. The Vansittart was re-
duced' to ashes on the 3d, and the Cornwallis on the 10th
of J one. The loss of property occasioned by these events
amounts to above 100?000/. The • fires are believed to
hal a been the work of incendiary lascars (native sea-
men), and 50Ct. reward has been offered by the insurance
offices for the detectiOn of the culprits.

1,'1,7 are grieved to find from the various reports that
have reached us, that the destruction of life and pro-
hertY, through he storm on Friday and Friday night,
ave been fearfully extensive. On tihOre scarcely a
building has been left uninjured. scarcely a garden has
escaped conversion into a wilderness. In every direction
branches of trees lie scattered over the ground, and in
many of the streets in Chowringhee, and along the
Garden Reach-road, entire trunks have been prostrated,
carrying with them the walls and railings which formed
the ewlosures. The most exposed places have suffered
