OUDE. —lmportant intelligence reached us from this province during the fortnight. It is stated, upon the authority of a contemporary, that the Begum surrendered to Lord Clyde on the 21st ult., and the news received some corroboration from the statement of a correspondent of the Delhi Gazette that it was rumoured "that Beni Mandoo and the Begum have given in. They say that the Begum's Vakeel is in camp, and they are going to give up the Nana," who was reported to have fled from Chunda, andto have taken up a fitting residence for himself in a jungle to the north-west of that place. We cannot, how ever, attach much credence to these rumours. The surrender is stated to have been made on the 21st ult., and we ought long since to have been in possession of the fullest particulars concerning it. Letters from the immediate scene of operations, dated the 21st ult., make no mention whatever of the surrender. At the same time we are compelled to acknowledge the extreme probability of such an event in the present state of matters. Lord Clyde has hemmed the rebel body in so closely to the hills, that escape seems hopeless, unless by the Raptee pass into the Himalayan range, which constitutes at once the border and the country of Nepaul on the north-west. The Commander-in-Chief was at Baraitch on the 21st ultimo, the date of our last intelligence, and the insurgents were lybig in mass between him and Churdah, about thirty miles north. The banks of the Raptee and the fords of Gogra were held in force by our columns, while any attempt to break through the lines of the Chief is carefully provided against by the posting of strong detachments at every commanding point in his rear. Escape westward or southward being thus hopeless, a powerful force at Eesanughtir defies all attempt northward, and the pass in the rear of the rebels, through which the Raptee tumbles from the hills, is the only alternative to submission. The Nana will undoubtedly attempt the pass, and whether such a movement will be opposed by the Nepaul troops seems doubtful. Were the pass in our hands, the submission ordestruction of the rebels would be matter of certainty. We need hardly as how gladly we should learn that the amnesty which expired on the 31st ultimo hail been previously accepted by these misguided and unhappy men.  MiseELLamtors.- -The ex-King of Delhi and his family have arrived at Rangoon. The Cape colonists, it seems, absolutely refused to receive the royal convict. Our old opponent the King of Ava is dead, and rumour at first asserted that Ins successor had commenced his reign by declaring war against us. The late monarch was of known peaceable interests, and as the present one was the leader of the war party at the Burmese Court, the fact will sufficiently account for this most unlikely rumour. It is stated by a Lahore contemporary that Sir John Lawrence proceeds to Delhi, to be formally invested by the Viceroy with the Lieutenant-Governorship of the Punjauh, before finally resigning the charge to his successor, who is confidently declared to be the present Commissioner of Otule, Mr Montgomery. Orders have been issued for the disarming of such part of the north-west provinces as lie to the north of the rivers Junin& and Ganges.  A good deal of comment has been made in the Indian press upon the statement of the Kotah despatch "that no opportunity existed for the cavalry to distinguish themselves." The statement is emphatically untrue, upon the testimony of the cavaby brigade itself, unless it means simply that General Roberts refused to allow Colonel de Stalin to avail himself of the signal opportunity presented. By the want of ordinary command displayed on this occasion, we have had to chase these Kotah murderers, who were allowed to retire unmolested from the city, laden with its entire loot, fur the last six months, throughout the country lying between the Gangee andOooaerat; and the fact that no inquiry wart in.  - A Comrrmarnt
