.Malta, Jan. 6.-The steamer Caradoc
has arrived with important intelligence from
India. Gen. Havelock died on the 25th
November, of dy sentery, brought ON by ex-
posture and anxiety. On the 9th Novem-
Der an affair took place near Cawnpere be-

the loss of sixteen guns, twenty six car

of the defence Of Lucknow, being the off

The London Gazette, in reviewing tho
above news says: The Gwalior contingent
is known to have been the most formid bic
body of troops in arms against the British
government in India. 1t was a disciplined
effective force of 5000 men, complete in or.
ganizaton and details. The blow which
has been struck by Sir Colin Campbell has
probably scattered this formidable force
on which the insurgents of Central India
chiefly relied. The commander n-chie1
will now be enabled to operate against the
Dude insurgents, of whom he will doubtless
give as good an account us he has of the
Gwalio- mutineers.
