The Goth Regiment, about half the FusiI-

immediately pushed forward toward Gavin.

for crossing the river on his arrival; mean.
while we have intelligence from Lucknow
up to the I'd instant, when the garrison
were in good spirits and sufficiently provi-
ded with food They had recently repuIsed
a determined assault, and had disabled the
only heavyiguus belonging to the assailants.
The garrison have been told to hold out
to extremity, and they are now confident
that they will be relieved about the middle
Of the month.
The Hewah troops, detached as reported
IN last message to intercept the Dinapore
mullneers, were not in time to arrest their
progress; the latter crossed the Touse river
about the 2Gth, after some detention by
high flood, and their march has been mark
ed by plunder. They give out they are
going to Delhi. The rebel Kooer Sing fled
from Iiohtas about the eth or 2Sth ult.,
aud sought refuge in Rewah territory. The
Eajah warned him of, whereupon most of
his sepoy adherents deserted him. A col

left Ranegunge on the 9th ult, and will
clear the trunk road. The Nepani Durbar
has given 1000 Goorkhas to aid in the oc.
cupaiion of Champarun and the districts on
the lei, Bank Of the Ganges, which are en-
dangered by the abandonment of Goruck-
pore by the civil officers. 1t is thought
that the force stated, which left Katmand.
hoy on the 10th or l4,h ult, will suffice TO
restore in those districts.
Our latest accounts from Delhi extend 10
the 26th ul. The Punjaub reinforcemen,s
mentioned in the last message reached
camp on l4th ull., and more recently an
auxiliary force Of about two thousand and
six hundred men from Cashmere has
marched 10 join the force. 1t is expected
to do good service. A new siege train from
terozpore is expected by the end Of Au-
gust, and the Chief Commissioner of the
Punjaub calculates that by the middle Of
this month the force before Delhi will bs
little short Of $4,000 men. This estimate
may be somewhat too high. There has
been the usual skirmishing, with the same
result. On the 18th ult. n battery which
was troublesome was taken; and on the
25lh Brigadier Nicholson attacked the iu-
surgents, who were trying in a large body
to get to our rear, entirely defeated aud
routed them and took II guns, with all the
ammunition, eQuipage, and the baggage
vi the enemy.
The troops are in good health and spirits,
wounded doing well, supplies abundant. IL
Is said that some overtures are made by, or
on behalf Of, the King. They will not be
entertained. The gairisons have been levy
ing contributions in the neighborhood Of
Agra and the northwestern provinces.
The latest intelligence from Agra is to
the 25lh August. All still in the fort and
the general health good. Nothing particu-
lar had occurred, except an expedition TO
Futienpore Bukree, and another to Hatrass,
which latter defeated the insurgents, but
was not strong enough 10 re-occupy Aliy-
curb. The Furruckabad Nawab is said TO
be on the road between that place and
Cawnpore with three regiments OF mutt
nous infantry, and one of cavalry; he will
be dealt with by Gen. uavelock's column,
after relief Of Lucknow. On the deserving

who marched from Goruckpore with the
civil officers Of native states. The mutt
neers Of Gwalior Contingent, joined by
those from lndore and Mhow, reckonel at
$500 infantry, 900 cavalry and 80 guns,
are still believed 10 be at Gwalior, held ia

The political agent, Major Macpherson,

confident belief in his loyal and friendly
attachment TO us. The peace of Buopal is
