THE AMNESTY.  Lord Canning's proclamation states that no hope of pardon can he held out to any persons immediately concerned in the murder of British subjects. The lives of those who gave asylum to murderers of British subjects, knowing them to be such or leaders of the mevement, will be spared, but their punisinent will be proportional to their offences. All who surrender before September 30 will have their lives guaranteed, after which they will be summarily dealt with. To all other, seconds or principals, Zemiudars, Sepuys, disbanded fugitives throughout the country, or any person whatsoever in arms against the Government, not acting on his own free will and authority, but aiding and abetting some principal, the GovernorGeneral offers at once general amnesty ; their estates shall be guaranteed, and oblivion thrown over the past ; should they still continue to bear arms, they must bear the consequences; the time for clemency will have passed by. Private letters state an impression that the rebels will make a foolish attempt to re-take Lucknow. Bombay letters to July 3rd, containing full details of the re-taking of Gwalior are published. The Times' Bombay correspondent writes ; The re-taking of Gwalior by Sir H. Rose, is the triumphant conclusion of the Central India Campaign. The rebels had dune little to strengthen or defend the fort, but their forces were placed to observe and held the roads leading upon the city. The defence was conducted by the Ranee of Jhansi, who, in nrtil attire, on horseback, was übiquitous and untiring. The strength of the rebels was reduced after they had received pay for three months' arrears and two months in advance. Many eserted to conceal the renegade in the agricultural laborer. The old Bengal army and Gwalior Contingent remained to face the storm. The Munar cantonment was, after a smart fire, quickly carried. The fugitives were closely followed and cut up. A party of Sepoys took refuge in a ditch. A company of the 71st Highlanders went at them, led by William Neave, who was instantly shot dead ; but his death was amply avenged, for not one of the rebels was left in the ditch alive. In an attack on a concealed battery, Lieutenant Rally, of the Sib, was killed or died from sunstroke, and Crealoek, of ;he 95th, and Anderson of the Bombay Lancers, were wuanded. The body of the Ranee of Jhausi was not found, but is said to have been burnt at once. On the 186, a reconnaisance of the enemy's position gradually became a general action. All the high ground was clear. In the advance en the main body of the rebels Cornet Mills, of the lancers, was killed. By five in the afternoon the town of Gwalior was occupied, and the rebels in flight, leaving twenty-seven guns. Our loss was trifling, but many suffered from the sun. Col. Ranks and Lieut. Sexton, of the 95th, were also wounded. The enemy was followed, and on the following day twenty-fire more guns were taken, an immense quantity of aminunition, and many killed. The Maharajah was re-seated on the royal cushion in great state. It was afterwards found that the fort of Gwalior had not been evacuated. Lieut. Ruse, of the 26th Bombay N.J., and Lieut. Walker, with a small party, went to take possession of it. After a desperate hand to hand fight, hem which Rose escaped unhurt, but happening to be standing alone, he was shot through the body by a man in ambush, who advanced and gave him ten more wounds with a sword. He then attacked Walker's party, but was shot down. Rose died I of his wounds. The fort was taken. Rose was no relation to the General.  Favorable intelligence is received from Generals Whitelock and Grant. The former captured at one plice 40 guns and 2,1100 stand of arms; while the army which the latter victoriously encountered was estimated at from 18,b00 to 30,000 strong.  - , The only news which had been recently received from Oude announced the issuing of another proclamation, drawn up in accordance with the celebrated Ellenborough despatch.
