PROGRESS OF MuIHY In INDIA
The following Is copied from the Bombay Times of July
IA
In the last fortnight have probably passed 'the
food Of the insurecton, and may now hope that our
future advces will be chiefly occupied with recital OF
the subsistence Of this great rebellion, and the restoration
order in the disturbed provinces The truth is that
there regiments to muny, unless they are
to be those of Bombay Madras concerning the de
ty Of which there is not the slightest ground OF suspicion
Delhi had not fallen up to the 9th June, the date OF
latest advices via Lahore. There has been good
deal of fighting outside the walls, the rebels being de-
feated every occasion with great slaughter and IL Is
matter of much congrauation that the apparent hope
lessness of their has eectuay checked the dspo
stion of the mutnee at other stations TO proceed TO
their assistance The only attempt which has been made
reinforce them to have been the part OF the
Nusseerabad mutineers who cut up dreadfully ON
the occasion by Gen. Barnard force Whether any of
them got inside the walls or not we cannot say.
During the fortnight just elapsed have received in
teeence of the mutny of the troops at Moradabad Fly
uabad seetapore Saugor. Nowgong Banda, Futtehghur
Mhow and Indore and we proceed briefly to relate the
particulars of each, so far they are known to us,
1t is evident that arrangement existed between
the troor AZ Bareilly Shahehanpore Lucknow and Mo
radabad to effect Simultaneous rising glance at the
man will show the proxitv of these stations To each
other and the ontbrea occurred at each on the morning
Of the same day.
The mutiny at Bareilly, which we reported in few
words in last ISSUE to have been attended with
the av before their outbreak the sepoys appealed to their
Officers to recall their wives and families from the hills
where hey had been sent for safety and even to the last
these screants sorc to protect their officers to
the death The regiments rose en- Dasse on Sunday morn
inc the LAT ~ lime shotted on being fred as the sig

allegiance but the scoundrels opened upon them with
oTana-shot and thew had n ride for their lives
Tho conntr ba;no ssn IN III diractons n ,vos With
extreme difcutv and only bv q ride Of seventy miles
that the little band al last found safety at Nynee Tai in
the hills where thew had previously sent their families
Here tb rfoees are conrrepat n numbers which viii
probably awe any attempt 10 attack them and as the

We have reason Ia believe however that considerable

been characerid by the stranaest moderation We can
mot resist the temptation Of quoting from letter on the
