ULTAN.  The Meerut paper supplies the following, which is the latest from Moultan  " Camp before Moultan, Dec. 2.—Very little going on here at present. Admiral, I think, the day betore yesterday, sent off a strong detachment with two guns, it is supposed to the assistance of the Kardar of Jhung, who is at present besieged in his fort by the people of the country. Sheik Emem-ood-deen left this :yesterday morning with his force. He is, if possible, to reduce Jhung. Edwardes and Cortlandt, on the arrival of the Bombay troops, are to go to Bunnoo. Lake is to entrench himself at Sourajkhoond and keep open the communication with Bhawulpore. Colonel Nash's detachment arrived the day before yesterday. "Brigadier Cheape, Captain Western, and other engineer officers, have also arrived here. You will be glad to hear that we have at last heard for certain that the Bombay troops have all started. The advanced detachment, consisting of a battery, one regiment Native Infantry, and two Sinde horse, are expected to arrive on Thursday next. The siege train has reached the confluence of the Chenab and Sutlej. " The main body are expected about Christmas, under Brigadier Dundas. An apothecary, named M Evoy, of her Majesty's 32d Regiment, who was marching with Nash's detachment, was brought in, murdered, yesterday. His body was found at a place called Alliwalla, between this and Soojabad. He had five balls in him, and as the body was not stripped, it is not thought that the Seikhs had any hand in it. " Hay, of the Malwa Contingent, joined us a short time ago. He came across the desert from Mehidpore. Ensign M'Kenzie, of the 51st Native Infantry, died last night. The cause was, I hear, a low fever. He had been ill for some time." The annexed extracts are from the Delhi Gazette of the 9th : " From the Jullunder Doab we have more cheering intelligence than we have had to communicate for some days. The report that the siege of Pathankote had been raised was quite correct. The place was relieved by the detachment under Major Simpson, commanding the 29th Native Infantry. The insurgents retreated to Deenanuggur, and were attacked there on the 26th cf November by a detachment, consisting of the Seikh corps (Hodgson's), and four horse-artillery guns. Many of the enemy were killed, and the rest were dispersed. Had the remainder of the force in the field (a wing of Ferris's corps, and the 29th Native Infantry) arrived in time from Pathankote, as we expected would be the case, the whole must have been killed or taken priscners. The force then returned ta Mookereean on the 27th of NovN tuber, and moved by Hajeepore up the Sssne valley against a Raja (name not mentioned) who had risen, seized the police, and was collecting the revenue. Ho was attacked on the morning of the 2d of December, at two differents points, at has residence, at Aknot, by the 2d Seikh corps, under Major Hodgson, and at Umb, or Umb ka Hutta, by the wing of the 29th Native Infantry. Both parties were successful in their attack, killing a number of the enemy, and dispersing the rest. Three) or four were wounded on our side, and among them we are sorry to say, Lieutenant anti Adjutant Faddy, of the 29th Native Infantry, severely. We learn also that the Memoree Raja has risen in the upper range, seized Teere, and has a force of about 1,100 men, and some guns. These Riles have, it seems, had emissaries for some time among them, from the Seikhs, and here is the result. There is no doubt that Beekram Singh, the High Priest of Oonah, is also in rebellion, so that the Jullunder authorities have enough on their hands." The Governor-General was to leave Umballah on the 9th of December, in progress to Loodianah, and we hear that Captain Larkins, the Deputy-Commissioner, was to meet his Lordship at Kana-ke-seraie.
