{Melbourne Argus.)

By the arrival of the Colombian, we hare received English papers to the 16th September, and Ceylon to the 16th of October. The home news is unimportant, but that from India contains the gratifying intelligence of the fall of Delhi, the relief of Lucknow, and of various reverses having befallen the rebels. Nana Sahib is said to have been hung by our exasperated soldiers, while their officers were holding a Court Martial upon the miscreant; and a number of his accomplices, who had been ordered, by a similar tribunal, to be hung at sun-down, were bayonetted by our men, whose indignation was greater than their sense of discipline. A brilliant engagement has taken place at' Nujuffghur. The massacres in India have called forth a strong feeling of sympathy with the British, not only hi the mother country, but in France, Germany, and the United States; and the mutineers appear to have only one ally and defender in Europe—the Dublin Nation; which is " delighted, rejoiced, and gladdened, beyond measure, 5' by the intelligence of the hideous excesses committed by the "patriot sepoys!'- * LATEST TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES. THE IMPERIAL INTERVIEW. The Frankfort Journal says that the King of Prussia has been invited by the Emperor Napoleon and the Emperor Alexander to take part in the interview at Stuttgardt, but that his Prussian. Majesty has declined the invitation. A rumour is in circulation ,to the effect that the. Emperor and Empress of Russia will after their interview with the Louis Napoleon, at Stuttgardt, proceed fib. meet Queen Victoria. ; 'r ■ FRANCE. ' The Paris correspondent of the Times learns that the institution of the Waterloo medal in England has suggested to the Emperor the idea of. striking medals commemorative of the battles of Marengo, Austeiiitz, Jena, and Wagram, and of conferring them on the survivors of the old' army 'who were present at those battles. •.: '>•■. ... ■ It is recorded that the German Potentates have forbidden any of their subjects to accept the medal of St. Helena. ASSASSINATION OF THE BRITISH MINISTER AT LIMA. * Lima, August 12., 7 a.m. ' The whole of Lima and Callao has been thrown into a state of utter consternation by a most dastardly attempttoassassinatemy friend Mr. Sullivan, in his own house, last evening, a little before 7. I fear it is ah assassination, for the doctors give no hopes of his recovery. We were dining comfortably together, when the steward rushed hi through the bedroom, followed by the assassin into the offices, shouting, and upon our jumping up and going to the dooi", we were met by the villian, who, without saying a word, placed a blunderbuss close to Mr. Sullivan's stomach, and discharged it, and immediately started off the way he came, without taking a single article. Mr. Sullivan staggered back into my arms, saying, ' He's killed me.' Three pistol balls were taken out of his stomach, and an half-ounce ball was cut outof the fleshy part of his back below the ribs. As you can judge we have passed a dreadful flight, attending upon the sufferer, preparing him for the worst, and doing what was necessary as regards his last wishes in case the wounds are mortal. Several individuals have been seized, but it is not yet known whether they are of the party. The servants state three other men remained in the back passage during the affair. I have to be thankful that I myself escaped injury most miraculously; for if the shots had been a yard or two off, some of the bullets must have touched me. The excitement;

is naturally veiy great here ; for, after this instance of cold-blooded murder, no one considers himself safe. It remains to be seen whether this will riot be made a government question between Great Britain and Peru.' CANADA. . A rumour, which gained currency in Kingston, to the effect that the 9th regiment, stationed in that city, was to-be despatched to India, created; much excitement among the men, and several of them deserted to the United States. On the morning of the 24th of August the entire garrison guard, consisting of a sergeant and eight men, deserted, carrying five stand of arms and ammunition with them.; They got away by taking one of the officer's boats, but before leaving they scuttled all the other boats so as to prevent a pursuit. > .
