Colonel St. Leger waited the arrival of the Re..
who was alone invested with powers to negotiate. t.
tall events there is every prospect of an immediate
happy termination to one of the most daring rebel-
lions that was ever engendered even by the rash and
capricious passions of an Asiatic Court—a rebellion
which, in the first instance, had involved in the most
imminent personal danger both Colonel Macauley and
the Officers of the British Subsidiary force, and to
which, among other sufferers, part of the Resident's
escort had actually fallen victims.
The grand army, under Major-General St. Leger,
were still encamped at Lushkeree Khan Serai on the
28th ult. The report of a treaty having been con-
cluded with Bunjeet Sing appears to have been pre-
mature. There is the b6t reason to hope, however,
that all the points in dispute would in a short time be
!finally and satisfactorily adjusted. The Seik army
is now encamped on the north bank of the Sutledge.
Colonel Ochterlony, with the detachment under his
command, entered Ludehaunah on the 17th Febru-
ary. At that place cantonments have since been
marked out for three battalions of infantry and a re-
! girnent of cavalry. Ludehaunah was formerly a very
large Pucka town, but is at present said to be in a very
ruinous condition.

tisfaetory intelligence of the seizure of the persons of
two of the principal leaders of that force, be publish..
ed for general information ; together with the ex-
pression of his Lordship in Council's high approba-
tion of the zeal and judgment manifested by Colonel
Wallace, in conducting the pursuit of the remnant of
the predatory force, under Dundun Khaun, and Wa-
hud Ali Khaun Bttngush ; and in the arrangement%
which led to the apprehension of the Chiefs, and tilt
final dispersion of their remaining followers, and of that
alacrity and perseverance of the officers and men of
the detachment, in the execution of this important
service.
Extract from a letter, addressed to Colonel Barry
Close, resident at Poona, by Colonel Wallace, dated
at Rampoor, 24 miles N. W. of Coprell, 10th Jamb.

" On the 2d instant, I left Amulnair, with the
whole of my detachment, the portion of it which I
had left in the rear, ea advancing. to that place, hav-
ing joined me the preceding day. On my arrival, on
the 3d instant, at Scindkair, I found the report that
¶.Bungush had halted there the whole of the 29th ult.
the day after his defeat at Amulnair, to be correct ;
and that he had, before morning, thence collected a
party of about 500 horse. I likewise learned from
Scindkair, that he had made one march to Nunderbar,
where he had arrived the 30th, in the evening. On
the 4th I moved to Dundarcha, which is within one
long march of Nunderbar, and hearing that Bungush
stilt continued at the latter place, where he was re-
cruiting and equipping his party by plunder, I had
determined to move the same night, with a light de-
tachment, to attack him. Just in time, however, I
heard of his having left Nunderbar, and proceeded in
the direction of this place, Rampoor. In consequence
I moved on the sth inst. to Coprell, on the Taptie,
and receiving intelligence that Bungush was en-
camped at Oonirale, about 24 miles from me, in a
North-West direction. I marched at six o'clock that
evening, and at break of day on the 6th, I arrived at
the ground of his encampment ; where, however, I
was disappointed, by finding that he had a few hours
before quitted it, and fled intu the Deadabawn Ghaut.
There I immediately followed him, and after a dis-
tant skirmish with a few of his hor.,e that retired into

Some have affected to doubt the authenticity of
the Proclamation of the American President. The

three 'days later than any that have yet appeared,
puts the matter beyond all question. The letter from

repeats a report of a projected rtegociationbetirem

through which the overtures have been transmitted :
