The following 10 an extract from 40 over
land paper, the Bengal Hurkaru, published
twice month at Cal cutta, Tor Transmission
10 Europe, and copies Of which reach US
direct from England. From the article in
question, it would appear that although much
has been done in quietiDg the rebellion, there
h aill plenty Of sharp work on hand for Sir
ColTS CAMPBELL. and the fresh troops sent
out from England.
The short time that has elapsed since
the publication OF our last bi-monthly issue,
has not been productive Of any very impor-
tant events. We are still gaining successes
over the rebels, who are showing every de-
termination not To be subdued il they can
help it. As we told our readers on the 22d
ut, the rebellion is by no means put down.
They are still threatening all our principal
points in Bengal and the Northeast. In
the other providences ~ in the Punjaub,
there is little disturbance Of the outward
tranquility which had generally prevailed,
though in Bombay some traitors have been
discovered among the Sepoys. and some &C.
we're execution have been the result.
According to the present aspect of
things II seems Dude il TO We the great cen.
ire Of the contest we have now 10 sustain.
Agra has been again threatened, but the in
surgcnts have again diverted their course,
and are now proceeding In the direction of
Lucknow, where, on the other hand, we are
preparing to concentrate u large force, in
order 10 make decisive blow. II has be
come apparent to ALL and we believe the
Commander.in-C Chief was the first to be con
WINGED Of the fact. that the maintenance Of
our present position in Dude can only be
effected by force az formidable in numbers
AZ the little armies which have hitherto been
sent have been formidable in daring and
valour. Sir Colin Campbell has already
left Calcutta for Cawnpore, where he will
establish his headquarters, and where he
will join Colonel Grcathcd with bis victo-
rious column, which has already arrived.
Troops--of which we have now large
number in Calcutta-are being sent up as
fast as carriage can be secured for them, and
Sir Colin will doubtless have large force
at his disposal for the work that has to be
done.
=" Notwithstanding the gallant efforts
Of both officers and men in what was called
the relief OF Lucknow, il is but too appa-
rent that the relief was only reinforce
ment, and that our two positions Re-
sidency and Aumbagh been unable
to effect communication in the face Of ire
mendous odds opposed to them. We have
had but vague accounts Of the condition Of
the garrisons of these two places, and the
most alarming rilnors were Of coure clrcu-
lated. Yesterday we received some more
certain information, and from this il is known
sortie from Alumbagh, made tor the pur-
pose Of establishing IA communication with
the Rt,idency, and that Sir James Outram
himself was wounded.
"rhe head quarters Of the 32d native in
iantry have behaved very well since the
mutiny Of the detached portion OF the legi-
ment. Their commandment, Col. BurDey an
officer who thoroughly understands Sepoy
nature, marched them down to Raneegunse,
where they laid down their arms in a most
trac,able manner, without a request or hint
OF any kind They remain at Ranecgunge
at present. to add to the difficulty which Is
felt in disposing OF the other three dsarmed
Regiments in Calcutta and Barrackpore.-
These corps are too bad to he trusted, and
too good TO be shot; and are therefore tit for
nothing, except to receive their pay and to
neccssitate the employment of an European
Regiment to look after them.
