June 10. I'VE are now encamped On ht
bill, having islodged The insurgents on ht
9Th. They iught most obstinately, and dis,
puted the gund inch by inch; but British
courage andsrocity forced all before them--
In the enemB camp was found an Europeir
actually layis the guns. He was literally ca
to pieces byhe enraged soldiery. 1t is su'
pected that IRE are others in the city. Thut
hundred of lie mutineers tried to escape u
getting into Serae, but they were seen u
some of oufellows and d party went 10 Dis,
lodge them;aey fired from the windows, whsr
our fellows lrst open the door, and rushing h
killed everyone of them. Not one was Ifl
alive.
Yesterda they came out in force, but wee
driven backwith great loss.
All wasluiet at Lahore, and up as farls
Sealkote, 1 the 18th instant. 1t is supposed
that the clek the Delhi .mutineers have h.
ceiVed hapreveuted other corps from show
ing their 9th; but there can be no doubt that
the whole ative army has been tampered viii,
and the W is not wanting to show their die
affection. Delhi once more in our possession,
things wi probably quiet down again--nf
before.
