OUDE.

The crisis is now passed, and the result is what was gene-
rally anticipated, the country being the scene of a bloody and
remorseless civil war. " The whole kingdom." says one
writer,
" is up in arms, the Chuckladars are slaughtering the Ryots on
the one side, and the Thalookdars are, on the other hand,
murdering the King's troops. whenever they get the advan-
tage. Divisuu Sing made a dour a ftw days ago on Buhram-
pore, and took the Rajah of that place by surprise ; when he
succeeded in killing about 400 men in cold blood, and the heads
of the principal people he sent into Lucknow, to the Putwah
Minister, Sherf-ood-Owlah."

In an engagement which took place between two chiefs
Roberts's Ist Regiment_ which was employed on one side—.
lost its reputation for invincibility by a hasty retreat from the
field. Lieutenant Spry (nephew ot Dr. Spry, of Calcutta) and
a Mr. Nesbit were killed on this occasion.
In one fort, it seems, there-are seven Thalookdars fighting
against the king's troops, and the greatest confusion every-
where prevails. The present state of affairs is attributed to
the mismanagement of the ministor, who, it is said, has well
filled his own pockets by • the acceptance of bribes, although
he has impove7ished the 'Royal treasury. The British Go-
vernment is not likely to interfere, and the task of tranquil-
lising the country will thus have to be ►performed wholly by
his. Majesty, who may find it a difficult one to accomplish.

T H MET.
THE SEIKIIS AND THE- CHINESE —I have on one or two
previous occasions alluded to the progress making by the vic..
torious Seikh army in Thibet. From the very slight oppo-
sition offered, and the facility with which it was overcome, it
certainly at one time appeared probable that Zorawar Sing
would succeed in wresting from the Chinese some portion of
their 'I hibetian territory. Our celestial friends, however,
have now entered the field against the enemy; and such is the
valour, or the terror of their name, that the Seikh forces have
given way, and are retreating on Ladakh,: quite discomfited.

CEYLON.
It is reported that Sir Colin Campbell, Governor of Ceylon,
will succeed Sir Jasper Nicholls as commander-in-chief in India.

EG- 1 PT,
ALEXANDRIA, JAN. 22,
The Indian mail arrived this morning fully twelve hours be-
fore it was expected, and the East India Comp toy's packet
agents here affixed a notice that the mails would c!ose at half-
past two P. M., giving only one hour's notice, the more provok-
ing, as every one knows perfectly well that the Oriental will not
start before to-morrow morning. This is not the first time the
public have had to complain of the precipitancy with which the
mails are closed so many hours before the steamer can possibly
start. The free trade is beginning to work better, less direct
opposition being offered to thepurchasing in the interior by Eu •
topeans, while here there is no question about their right to ex-
port, paying duty according to 'he new tariff; still the Paella
having so greatly increased the number of his chifflicks in
Lower Egypt, and latterly also in the Upper country, he must
always be the greatest producer, and consequently mainly in-
fluence the rates of the exports of this country. The want of
a proper currency is most severely felt, and we hear nothing decisive of the steps that will be taken to remedy it.
The health of the town continues without 'mprovement. We 11 have now and then a case of plague reported; but the disease
not having gained ground, it is to be hoped this season will be
comparatively free from it.
The last news from Syria is so far satisfactory that the in-
clemency of the season had put a temporary stop to the warfare
among the mountain tribes. The Seraskier, Mustapha Pacha,
had been sitting for f ever al days in council with the chiefs of
the mountaineers without having come to any decision. In
Beyrout the small-pox and putrid and typhui fevers were pre-
‘ailing, and the deaths of the past month were reported to ex••
need 800.
