he must do with view to his own interest ana even
preservation. We must remember, in common JUSTICE
to these people, that cannot expect devoon nnto
death from any Indian in behalf Of foreign int aders
different in race, in religion, and rot ess IN

pected that on the 18th If August eur whole force
there would amount to eco, and early in September

tusy invested the city, and cut OF Its communlca
tione. There bad been more sortles repulsed, with
fearful los the mutineers and at some cost to our
selves. In the city they were dishestened and divd-
ed Their magazine had been blown up, and 800 arti-
cers destroyed together with large quantity OF SUI
phur and sapete1. They were in want Of percussion
caps fuses and other stores. The King 1t was SAID,
had sent off his zeraus. The muureels, compelled
to fight their arrival, and even forced to pro-

live to receive quarters payment Of his ElOO ayear
good service pension has the rank OF VI sjorGen-

tanly will not if his is as brief as that Of bis
brother commanders in India but which will at least
be RECORDED and remain after his death, consolation
10 his family and his fIiende.
