The second critical period of the Indian iusur

found ito center in Delhi, ard was ended by the
storn.iDs Of that city; the second centered in
Lucknow, AID that place, too has now fallen.
Unless fresh insurrections break out in places
hitherto quiet, the revolt must now gradually sub
side into its concluding, chronic period, during
which the insurgents will finally take the character
Of dacoits or robbers and fod the inhabitants of
the country a. much their enemies as the British

cost, but left Gen. Outrsm with about 5000 men
in The Alumbagb, an intrepched position few
