TO fall back upon Cawnpore. terribly deci.

month, That city contains a population
of about 800. 900 Mahomedans, who prob.
ably fraternized with the beSeigers. and
rendered the lestIu uctioh Of the Europeans
speedy and certain. We have intelligence
this morning that Gen. Havelock. al
Cawnpore on the 4th inst, had arenforce
ment and had moved on again towards
Lucknow in pur suit Of the rebel army
The rebellion and carnage are now getting
nearer and nearerto Calcutta, Dinaport

Ganges in boats.u But the Diuapore rebels
have been defeated. and Eve of the boats
containing them have been sunk by our ar.
tillery, and FIVE hundred Of the rascal'
killed. Arrah has been relieved.
That Gen. lIaveock had to fall back il
his march from Cawupore 10 Lucknow, il
consequence Of the cholera, and the swarm
Of Sepoys. and that he received reinforce
ments and relieved himself of his sick anC
wounded, and resumed his march foi
Lucknow, we learned through the Eng

batch Of Indian news. that Sahib, who
massacred the English at CawnpOre, anC
was driven thence by Havelock, was hur
rying toward Lucknow in advance o
Havelock, with a formidable army Of in
surgents. uHe' would arrive at Lucknoy
in advance Of Hpvelock. and il the tow
