He bad started from Allahabad with about 2,000 Europeans, consisting of the 64th, the 78th Highlanders, the Madras Fusiliers, and a company of the Royal Artillery. By two harassing marches he bad joined Major Renaud's advanced column about three hours before daylight on the morning of the 17th July, and arrived about eight o'clock four miles from Futtehpore, where he encamped. The rebels advanced from the town which they had previously occupied, assuming the initiative in the contest. The splendid management of the artillery (eight guns, under Captain Maude, A.A.) soon destroyed their confidence. They abandoned gun after gun, and speedily took to flight. They were pursued through garden enclosures and the streets of Futtehpore. It w.is a complete panic, and the most remarkable circumstance connected with the affair was that there was not a casualty - the British troops—not one  were there  subsequently were captured on the re-occupation of Cawnpore. Previously to the arrival of the troops at Cawnpore two other battles had taken place, and with similar results in each instance. The cowardly murderer who had committed such unparalleled atrocities did I not  make head in a single instance against a force of armed men. lie had fled up the Bithoor, some eight or ten miles from Cawnpore, and has probably already received the exemplary punishment which his crimes so justly merited.  At Lucknow, on tho 2d of July, Sir H. Lawrence received the wounds which have deprived the country of his valuable life. The garrison, however, continued to hold out gallantly under Major Banks, and there was reason to hope that they would be able to main • lain their poeition until relieved by General Havelock.  At Delhi both parties maintain their ground. The rebels had made several sorties, but all in vain. Although there were not sufficient to hazard a general assault, there were sufficient to maintain their position, and repel every attack of the enemy. On the 9th of July the mutineers left 1,000 of their numbers on the Gehl, and must have lost many more in the subsequent encounters referred to in the despatch. Large detachments had necessarily been left to protect Julluuder, Loodianali, Dugshaie, Subattehoo, Kossawlie, Umballa, Meerut, and Phillour.  It is said that the rebels are very short of percussion caps, and no means exists for their obtaining new supplies. So short are they that they ha; e been obliged to alter their muskets into matchlocks; and also, that for want of shot they are obliged to fire stones from the guns of Delhi, and slugs from their small arms. This is a somewhat important matter, and may greatly hasten the fall of the rebel stronghold.  The Neemuch mutineers marched upon-Agra, and attacked the European troops in their cantonments before that place. Our troops, consisting of 500, chiefly volunteers, received the 10,000 rebels bravely, but were overwhelmed by numbers, and took refuge in the fort, having lost nearly 150 killed and wounded. The cantonments were then destroyed. At Mhow and Indere the massacre seems to have been occasioned by undue confidence in the loyalty of the troops. a. terrible  murder, and destruction of every description to make the heart sick with horror. The insurrection has assumed gigantic proportions, but with the blessing of Providence we may soon hope to hear of happier tidings. Thu country now feels the extent of the evil, end will not take half measures for its cure. Already almost every available battalion of all arms have been sent out at the rate of a thousand men aday to inflict righteous vengeance for the rivers of innocent blood that has been shed. We look with anxiety for the next Indian telegraph, which is expected on the 12th instant.
