In the country surrounding Walla and the provinces

the flame of rebellion has, within the last week,
-broken out in the provinces of Hewahette and
Doombera ; in the former, as far as nor information
goes, in consequence of no irruption into it from the
West of Wallapana, on the night of the 12th ear-
sent, of a body of rebels, who carried of forcibly
the Rata Mahatmego of the province. As soon as
the report of this outrage reached mead. quarters on
the 13th, a force was detached to Elangrankette (a
central position in Ilewaketty), under Capt. Glen-
'mime, of the 73,1 regiment, who, the first night be
established himself there, was attacked by a large
nibble, and fired on from ill sides, but succeeded in
driving them off, with the loss of a man killed and
three wounded on she side of the rebels, and no ca.
batty on ours; Copt. Glenholme nest day sent •
'patrol towards Itinerate, which fell in with a Las-
toreen and a Cooly, who had escaped from the In-
surgents ; by whom they had been stopped while
bringing the post from Battelle, which they had taken
from them : a Caffee who woo with them was knocked
down with bludgeons and afterwards kilted. This
event is the more to be regretted, as the detail of
Major M'Doneld's proceedings in Ouse, which has
been ascertained to have been in the packet, is for
the present out of oar reach : all that is known is,
that (as we have before stated) every thing was quiet
about Walla, and that the native armed force of
Saffregam was actively employed in Lower Olive.
Captain Glenholme was not molested the nest
might, and moved on the 15th to open a communication
with Gonegamme; that last bad been reinforced by a
party sent from Gandy, commanded by esptain Ket.
tlewell, Royal Artillery, who from thence proceeded
to Kimbulgantotto, a ferry on the Mahavillagunga,
leading from Doombera into Ilewahetty ; from that
place, on the 16th instant, an escort was sent with
ammunition and provisions to Panetta, under the
command of Lieutenant Hingston, 834 regiment,
which was attacked by a numerous assemblage of re-
bels near Appaheware, and the firing kept up for
near an hour on both sides ; the loss of the rebels is
not known, as they were hid in jungles • on our side
three European privates were wounded. Captain
Glenholme hes, at the date of our last accounts, re-
turned to Hangrankette without meeting any oppo.
sition on his road. The same horde of insurgents at
Appahemare had. on the 14th instant, made an attack
on a party escorting provisions into Panells, on
-which occasion we regret to state, that Lieutenant
Sloper, 24 Ceylon regiment, was severely wounded
by a musket.ball, which is lodged in his elbow; and
a setjeant of 2d Ceylon else, who is since dead.
There having been several reports of an attack
threatened on Doombera, a reinforcement had been
lent some time back there, and on the first account
of the likelihood of insurrection in that province,
Captain Since was seat forwaid with to additionid
