Two Great Victories over the Six hS--
Termination of the War in India,

Since the dispatch OF our paper by the " Uni
corn our aGyces from Bombay inform of two
more great battles having been fought in India,
between the British and Sikh armies, both termI-
mating in decisive victory the former The first
was under the command of Sir H. Smith, and the
latter Sir Hugh Cough, which was, perhaps, one
OF the most bloody on record. In Sir H. Smiths
battle, the whole army of the enemy has been drv-
en- headlong over the difficult ford of broad riy
er; his camp. cannon (56 pieces), baggage, stores
of ammunition and of grain-his ALL in fact, wrest-
ed from him by the repeated charges of cavalry
and infantry; and in that of Sir Hugh Coughs
the Sikhs lost $4,000 men and 65 pieces of artil-
lery. The English had 300 men killed, l3 Of
whom were officers, and $500 wounded, of whom
l0l were officers. Her Majesty's SD and SD
regiments suffered enormously. General Dicke
and B:igadier Taylor among the dead.
The action commenced in the morning, and the
work Of destruction had closed by IL o'clock in
the forenoon Sir Hugh Coughs account of this
battle proves it to have been, while it lasted, one
of the most terrific on record Unlike the able
maneuverng of Sir H Smith, this affair seems to
have owed its success to the daring ntrepidity of
our men, who stormed the enemy's entertainments,
bayonet in hand, defended, as they were, by 3O,-
900 Sikhs and 20 pieces of artillery. The slaugh-
ter was immense, for our troops braved the enc
my's fire by reserving their shot until they got
within his entertainments. The action termina-
ted in the complete rout of the enemy, the capture
of his guns, and the loss of his camp and baggage
An awful sacrifice of life took place on the Sutel,
in attempting to cross which, our troops moved
down thousands of the flying foe and those who
escaped the fire were drowned in the stream
This victory has put the finishing stroke to the
war. 1t has brought the Sikhs to their knees
and they are now humble supplcants for mercy
and forbearance. They have agreed to pay Mil
lion and Half sterling, in the course Of four
years, toward the expenses of the war; the pay
ment to be enforced by the occupation of Lahore
Watike Preparations.-Th greatest activity
continues in ali the dock yards in England, and
the recruiting for the army is still going on with
great spirit. 5000 soldiers were ordered TO India,
5000 of which to proceed by the overland mail
route 1t is now stated that that order will be re-
scinded. There is rumor current that an addi-
tonal number will proceed to Canada.

Secret Service Fund and MIR. Webster


The following are the closing paragraphs Of
Mr. Websters remarks in the Senate, on The
resolution offered by Mr.. Jarnagin, calling on
The President for information relative TO the
Secret Service Fund.-
"And here say, Sir, that all declarations,
avermenis, statements or insinualions made
anywhere or by anybody, which mpu,e per-
version, misapplicaiion or waste of the funds,
committed or made by me while Secretary Of
Stale, are utterly groundless and untrue. And
| will conclude with one remark, The bear
ing of which shall leave TO the Senate and the
country.
Whoever charges me with having either
misapplied or wasted The public funds, while
in the Department, of State, has either seen the
papers, or has in some other way, obtained
knowledge on the subject, or he has not. If
he has seen no papers. and has no knowledge,
then his imputations are purely wanron slande-
rous. If he has seen the papers, or has any
knowledge, then he would be sure 10 state
what he knows, if he knows any thing 10 sus-
tain him in his charge. Silence, under such
circumstances, is conclusive that he knows
nothing; because he is under no obligation Of
secrecy, dHo, in dosehce vi ali othel PROOF, ne
would Of course tell all he knew, if he knew
any Thing which could, in the slightest degree,
bear him out. The charge, therefore, was eth
er made in utter ignorance of any facts TO sup
port il, or else with the knowledge that the facts
which exis, would, if made known entirely dis
prove II. As 10 The source of this miserable vi
tupera,on. have nothing 10 say. am afraid
| shall be though, TO have paid TOO much aien-
lion 10 j, already. Sir, | leave the author Of
these ISLANDERS where he ISL leave him in the
worst company know of in the worIdl
leave him with himself

lhe New Orleans Delta of The latest dates
conlradicts the rumor that battle had hoo,
fought by Gen. Taylor ard The Mexicans. and
says:-"The whole story has probably orioio.
aed from the fact that Gen. Taylor appeared
before Matamoras, and afterwards moved to
The camp between Maiamoras and Point isabel
which he had selected before The movemen,
from Corpus Christi. There is but one road
from San Palricio to the Rio Grande. Tb,,
road leads 10 point opposite Maiamoras; an.
other road leads thence TO Point Isabel or The
Brassos ST. Iago, the port of Malamoras. to
which place all the supplies Of the American
army had been directed. The position of Gen,
Taylor is upon the latter road, near his port
OF supplies, and in order TO reach it he was me-
cessary obliged 10 pass Maamoras, and hi,
advance 10 his point Of destination has been
represented as retreat. From this NOV emcDt
we believe, all these rumors have risen. We
have no news of any battle, and we never cx
pect TO have any Of defeat. The present Do,
sition of General Taylor, if he be where he ill.,
tended to 60, is one of the best that could pos
sibly he laken-it commands The upper and
lower ferry; 1t preserves the communication be-
tween The army and the Gulf, the only source
of supply; and while it enables the General 10
act on the offensive whenever he thinks proper,
he cannot be attacked even by superior force
with any prospect Of being beaten. Taylor,
Worth and Twigs have been fighting Indians
too long 10 be caught in trap"

FOREIGN NEWS.
Arrival Of the Caledonia.
Si1teen DAYS Later from England.

The steamer Caledonia, Capt Lott, reached
Boston on Monday the Goth inst, at la o'clock
Her intelligence is sixteen days later than that
brought by the Unicorn, and will be found highly
interesting
The Caledonia sailed from Liverpool on the 4th
inst She brings Liverpool dates to the time of
sailing and from London to the Sd inst inclusive,
having made the passage in l5l days
The victories of the British arms in India and
the termination of the bloody war constitute the
chief interest Of the news. The slaughter was
truly awful. The Oregon question stood as ii did
at the dates brought by the Unicorn. We refer TO
an article from the London Daily News, as con
tanning all we have on that subject; about which
nothing further has been said in Parliament
The British Tariff and the Irish Coercion divide
the attention of Parliament and the press. The
former had passed through its second stage in the
House of Commons by SO majority, a diminution
Of votes. Ii is said 10 be uncertain whether the
subsequent stages can be accelerated as to launch
the bill into the House of Lords before Parliament
adjourns for the Easter holidays. strong oppo-
sltion TO the measure had been organized by mem
bers Of the House of Lords. But the Times ex
presses the opinion, that the Peers will pass the
Bill, "J Hreach them" Its fate, according to that
Journal, in the Commons, is in great jeopardy.

though Gen. Ampudia has been directed nol to

secretly instruct the commander OF The troops,

in hopes that after blow has been struck the
people may with more unanimiiy rally round
his administration He set out with so much
hostility 10 this country, that he is think ur-
