nlghtfall, they occupied the Notice Ma
hal, a palace Of the former reigning
family, situated like the residency on
the river, and only a little way lower
down. Here tho Commander-in-chief
was met Outram and Havelock, who
came ont of their Entertainments to
greet him. and the primary object Of
his expedition was attained.
During these two DAYS his loss in of
ficers was 6 killed and 81 wounded. |
inclose the official list, by which you
will see that Sir Bolin himself was
wounded, thought very slightly, and
that the Dad and Royal Artillery suf-
fered very severely What was the
loss OF men We do not yet know
Nor have we as yet any Of
what took place on the 18th or 10Th
saving that on the latter day the ene-
my were flying from the city in great
numbers, and that the firing had nearly
ceased.
On the Goth the women and wonnd-
ed were sent to the rear, aud if | inter-
pref the telegram Alright, which says
the garrison removed the residency
was abandoned. The same telegram
then proceeds thus: "On the olst
floss severe. Two electric telegraph
assistants were murdered neal Alum
bagh, farther news thus being stopped.
The first of these two clauses | do not
understand. The latter probably re-
lates to an atrocity of the rebels flying
from the city. 1t is our latest new. at
present. l have ommitted to mention
one part Of this message, referring to
an earlier date-"It is supposed that
the palaces fell on the lsth"-that is
to say, on the day after the junction
vas effected. What these ~"palaces"
are is not very clear. They are not
marked under such a name in the plan
of the place; but read in a Calcutta
paper that they are a group Of build
ings formerly occupied by the Kings
numerous wives, and lying directly
between the Dilkhoosha Park and the
r~esidency, or balegard, Il NAV observe
to prevent confusion, that this last
word. balegard, is identical in meaning
with the word residency.) If it be SO,
they lie nearer the heart of the town,
and their capture implies an advance
towards a complete occupation of the
place. But another fortnight must 90
by before | can be in a position to tell
You fully OF Sir Collins glorious march,
and ofthe extent to which the swarm
of rebels congregated in Lucknow has
been crushed or dlssipated.
While these scenes were enacting
at the capital Of Dude, the garrison at
Cawnpore was not altogether without
its W anxieties, arising from the
movements of the Gwalior mutinecrs.
These men, formidable from their
numbers, their discipline, and their
powerful seige and field, were, when
last | wrote Of them, supposed to be at
Calpee. on the Jumne, bound for Dude.
1t now appears that in the earlier days
of last month they crossed the river
into the Doab, and on the 18th we're
within 50 miles of Cawnpore. The
distance they afterwards, we hear, re-
duced to Is, and Gen. Windham, com
handing at Cawnpore, is stated to have
even left the station to give them bat
tie. But, with that ir~resolution and
want of purpose that has marked all
their proceedings as compared with
that Of other %mutineers, they suddenly
turned back to the Jumna, recrosscd it,
and again encamped at Caipee. What
they now intend to do we cannot di-
vinc.-Strength they have in album
dance. Some think they do not want
to fight; but sooner OF later fight they
must, for, if sluggish in their move
mcnts no, they were active in murder
and mutiny four months ago, and they
must be attacked and punished accor-
dinghy. But every day spent by them
in inaction now is clear gain to us, for,
after a while We shall be able to hem
them in, if they attempt a southwark
movement by columns from Cawnpore,
kamptec and Indorc.
