PROM BRIGIDIER-GENERAL HAVELOCK, DATED CAWNPORE CANTONME T, JULY 17.  " By the ble,sing of God I re-captured this place yesterday, and totally defeated Nana Saheb in person, taking Mare than six guns, four of Beige calibre. The enemy were strongly posted behind a succession of villages, and obstinately disputed for the 140 minutes every inch of the ground ; but I was enabled by a flank movement to my right to turn his left, and this gave us the victory. The conduct of the troops was admirable. Nana Saheb had barbarously murdered all the captive women and children before the engagement. lie has retired to Bhitoor, and slew up this morning on his retreat the Ca Inpore maga2ine. He is said to be strongly fortified. I have not been yet able to get in the return of killed and wounded, but estimate my loss at about 70, chiefly from the fl-e of grape."  The following is we (Calcutta Erigliskman) believe a correct but not complete list of the officers killed at Cawnpore Wil and liams Seetapore :—At Cawnpore—Brigadier Jack, Colonel Lindsay, grout, Sir George P,lrker, Quinn, Redman, supple. Holliday 'Penolds, Prole, Smith, Eckford, Dempster, Jervi, Rens, and many others 'have been killed. At Seetapore— Ch y allwin, HillersCen, Mrs. WigColonel Birch, Mr. and Mrs. Christian, Captain and Mrs. Gowan, Lieutenant and Mrs. .Snell. The above were killed before the Capitulation, the termination of which was so disastrous. The force with General Havelock is as follows-600 of her Majesty's 78th Highlanders 500 of har Majesty's 64'h Regiment of Foot, 600 Madras Fusiliers, and a troop of Artillery. A letter in the Poona Observer of July 27, save In their last engagement with the rebels, the 79th Highlanders lost two men killed and fourteenwoundfd, one mortally, since dead. Poor Tullech, the quartet mas.ter-sergeant, Was amongst the latter, and died, poor fellow, from the effect of his wounds in a few hours, deeply regretted by the whole regiment."  mented Captain D'Oiley received his mortal wound. But a few rounds of ammunition remained in out waggon when that sad event occurred, nevertheless the wounded man set on a timbril, and continued to give the word of command until they were expended. Want of cavalry prevented our following up what we had gained, and nothing remained for us but to retrac3 our steps to cantonment, and this we proceeded to do in the most orderly manner possible. Immediately the rebels perceived the movement, they advanced with their guns, and nearly tke whole way into Agra fired round shot on u', after a fashion peculiarly humiliating to experiene., whilst small bodies of their horse threatened US on either side with such activity as to prevent our getting a shot at them. "Tae whole force succeeded in reaching the fort by half after six p.m., after being actively engaged for full three hours out of the time it was absent. The official li3t of killed and woundod will best enable the reader to estimate the severity of the engagement. There is no doubt that our men were fearfully out. nucabeied ; but desple that they would have remained masters of the fled, had it not been that both men and guns had fired off the whole of the small supply of ammunition they had taken to the field. It is now supposed that the enemy were ill the same predicament, and therefore, had we not moved off, but had Waited a short time longer, perhaps they might have gone first. The Civil Lines Infantry Militia having met the tired troops coming in, were formed across the road as rearguard, a position they maintained until the whole force reached the Fort.  aided by the mditio'qs.sepoya, are stated to have msAsacred them all with the usuClatroeith". The Governor-General, in a p: oclarn a t i o n .dated s for the apprehen10.h July, offers a reword of tlrty.rapet.hose who incite *dons of matineers, deserters, and of : have arms in to mutiny aad desertion, if the offenders a.
