ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND MAIL.
The following telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles.
dated the 30th of August, at seven o'clock in the
morning, has reached Paris:—
MALTA, AuG.26.—The Great Liverpool, which ar-
rived this evening at live o'clock, with the dispatches
from India, brings the following news from Jellalabad,
and from the camp of General Pollock. They are
dated the 22d of June, and are of the most dismal de-
scription. Sickness, extreme heat, the want of food,
and the simoom, are decimating the army. The
dis-
content and the inaction in which the army is left are
at its height.

" Ukb—ar Khan hcs seized the Bala llissar, and the
treasures which were left there.

" The Governor-;General has given full permission
to General Pollock to act as he may think proper.
" Symptoms of mutiny have shown themselves
among the Sikhs.

" The news from Cardahir is to the 11th of June,
an I it is without interest.

" Nothing important has taken place in China. It
is said that the Emperor has fled into Tartary.
" The preparations for marching upon Chapoo were
completed ; but the army remained in a state of inac-
tion, and seemed to be completely overcome by dis-
couragement."

[These are French accounts, and of course our read-
ers will judge them according to their merits.]

DUTCH MAIL.

THE. HAGUE, ATIG. 29.—We hear that the projects
of law respecting the remaining portion of the penal
code, which is shortly to be distributed among the
Members of the States-General, contains, und( r a
separate head, very severe enactments against duel-
ling. It is well known that the penal code at present
in force does not contain a single word on this subject ;
hence it has happened that actions which, at all events,
arc highly blameable and immoral in a well regulated
s•°c-iety, have for a long series of years remained un-
punished.
Yesterday forenoon his Majesty gave a solemn au-
rlieire at the Palace to Lieut.-General Baron Mar-
hot, Aide-de_camp
to his Royal Highness the late
Duke of Orleans.
NEUFCHATEL, AUG. 23.—The Municipal Council
gave notice yesterday that the King of Prussia, our
sovereign, though his time will scarcely allow it, has
resolved, if the health of the Queen will permit, to
visit with her this part of his dominions. He thinks
to he at Ball on the 23d of September, and on the
24th at Neufchatel, to stop there till the 27th, and to
DUTCH FUN W....A MSTERDAU, Apr. 30.
