much about 10000 strong, (say 1000 infantry,
l,5O0 cavalry and guns) approached Agra at the
erd Of JuIe, encamped in the beginning of July on
plain in the rear Of the village Of Sussis, about
% miles from Agra, and on the 18th Of July seemed
preparing an attack on the city. On this news the
European residents in the cantonm ents before
Agra took refuge in the fort. The Commander at
Agra dispatched at first the KOtah contingent of
horse, foot ard artillery to serve as an advanced
post against the enemy, but having reached their
place of Destination one and all bolted to join the
ranks Of the rebels On July 5, the Agra garrison,
consisting Of the Sd Bengal Europeans, battery
of artillery and corps Of European volunteers,
marched cut to attack the mutneers and are said to
have driven them out of tie village into the plain
behind it but were evidently ttemselvesin their turn
forced back, and, after loss Of ~ killed and %
wounded, Of total force Of 500 men engaged, had
to retire, being harassed and threatened by the
cavalry of the enemy with such activity as to pre-
vent their "gettng shot at them," as The Mo-
fussitte says. In other words the English took
to downright fight and shut themselves up in their
fort willie the Sepoys advancing to Agra destroyed
nearly all the houses in the cabtonment. On the
following day, July g. they preceded to Bhurtpore
on the way to Delhi. The important result of this
affair is the interruption by the mutneers of the
English line Of communication between Agra and
Delhi, and their probable appearance before the
old city of the Moguls.

BittoOr. Different assaults on the fort took place
on the 18th and between the 9th snd 25th of June
in the last Of which, Gen. Wheeler was shot
through the leg and died Of bis wounds. On June
p, Nera Sahib invited the English to surrender on
the condition of being allowed to depart on boats
down the Garges to Allshabad. These terms were
accepted, but the British had hardly put out into
the middle of the stream when guns opened upon
them from the right bank of the Ganges. The
pee pie in the boats that tried to escape to the op
posite bank were caught ard cut down BY body
Of cavalry. The women and children were made
csptiyes. Messengers having been dispatched
seversl times from CawnpOre to Allahabad with
pressing demands for relief on July column Of
Madras fusiliers and Sikhs started, under Major
Reraud ca the way to CawnpOre. Within four
miles of Futteypors it was joined on July 10 at
daybreak by Brig Gen. HavelOck, who, o! the
