by which the mutinous soldiery and those who are leagued with them, have been, instigated to faithlessness, rebellion, and crimes at which •he heart tickens, it is certain that they have j found encouragement in the delusive belief that India was weakly guarded b.v England, and ; that before the Government ca.uld gather to- j gethcr its strength against them, their ends | would be gained.

G.C.8., showing that the residency at Lucknow was in the possession of Brigadier General Havelock’s force on the 25th ultimo, and that the garrison is saved. Rarely has a commander been so fortunate as to relieve, by his sueces®, so many aching hearts, or to reap so rich a reward of gratitude, as will deservedly be offered to Brigadier Gcneri’! Havelock, and his gallant band, wherever their triumph shall become known. The Governor-General in Council tenders to Sir James Outran?, and to Brigadier-General Havelock, his earnest thanks and congratulations on the joyful result, of which a merciful Providence has made then? the chief instruments.
