a lack of the necessary cavalry force to insw

Orders have appeared, dated " Simla, October 13th,
from the Commander-in-Chief of India, constitutie-
force of some 30,000 men, to be designated 'the Ar
the Punjaub," and of which Lord Gough intended imme-
diately to take the command in person.
The intelligence, as rpos-A- •'

s the state of the Punjaub

;enerally, shows but too clearly, that
ately acquired 4-

Lte of rebellion

itory is virtua

and that the machinations of the various
against our authority are at present, and have been for
some time past, directed on a combined plan of operations,
the results of which are likely vet to develope themselves
to a greater extent, although happily the checks the Sikhs
have received, and our vigilance round Lahore, have much
marred their plans. A rumour which had been prevalent
for some time, that Chuttur Singh and Shore Singh were
playing a game ultimately to result in a combined move-
ment and attack on the capital, would appear by the latest
advices to have been well founded, intelligence having
reached Lahore that Chuttur Singh's forces were approach-
mg in the vicinity of Wuzeerbad ; and we are told that
Sir F. Currie considered the intelligence sufficiently au-
thentic to induce him to call for reinforcements from Fe-
rozepore, consisting of Colonel Godby's Brigade (of one
European and two Native regiments), with the Ferozepore
Brigade of five regiments of cavalry, with horse artillery,
which had crossed the river in readiness for operations,
and at the same time to recall, with similar instructions,
Brigadier Eckford's Brigade, (of two Native regiments and
two companies of artillery) then on the march to reinforce
the camp:of General Whish. At that time Shere Singh had
advanced on the other sidd to Sirdarpore, some 30 miles
from Mooltan. The probability that a coup might be made
on the capital from some direction by the Sikhs in arms
appears to have been entertained throughout by the Resi-
dent at Lahore, whose chief object it has been to secure
the safe occupation of that and the two other chief points,
