Isams.—The Bombay mail of the 17th January brings further intelli- gence of the great engagements on the Sutlej, with official despatches, which have been published in the Gazette; so that at last we have authen- tic information respecting the battles between the British forces and the Sikhs; the details being as sanguinary as they were alleged to be in the leizst-credited rumours which found their way into print. The private ac- counts, which arrived on Sunday and were published in the morning papers of Monday, are correct in the main as to results, but imperfect as regards the chain of events. The defect, however, has been supplied by the official documents; and from both sources the following narrative is drawn up. The Sikhs having completed their irruption into the British territories, in de- fiance of the remonstrances, threats, and warnings of Sir Henry Hardinge, pro- ceeded to accomplish their hostile object, by investing Ferozepore, the British post adjoining the Sutlej, and held by &r John Littler with a garrison of 5,000 men. With the view of rendering this operation more complete and establish- ing their footing in the country, the Sikhs took up an intrenched position at Ferozestiah, a village about ten miles distant in an Easterly direction, and conve- niently situated for intercepting the British force known to be on its way from timbal's to the relief of Ferozepore. In this camp the enemy placed more than a hundred pieces of cannon, many of large calibre, with a force of more than sixty thousand men. Sir Hugh Gough, the Commander-in-Chief, who commanded the relieving force from Umballa describes the march as distressing: many or the troops had marched upwaids of a hundred and fifty miles in six days, along roads of heavy sand; their perpetual labour allowing them scarcely time to cook their food even when they received it, and hardly an hour for repose.

When the troops reached Wudnee, information was received that a large portion of the Sikh force had been detached to oppose their advance. The enemy had sent forward "feeling" parties; but these retired, on the morning of the 18th December, before the British cavalry picquets near Moodkee, a village distant atria twenty miles from Ferozepore. Soon after mid-day of the 18th, "the di- vision under Major-General Sir Harry Smith, a brigade under Major-General Sir John Id`Caskill, and another under Major-General Gilbert, with five troops of Horse Artillery, and two light field batteries, under Lieutenant-Colonel Brooke, of-the Horse Artillery, (Brigadier in command of the Artillery force,) and the cavalry division consisting of H. M. Third Light Dragoons, the Body Guard, Fourth and Fifth Light Cavalry, and Ninth Irregular Cavalry, took up their encamping-ground in front of Moodkee." The troops were in a state of great exhaustion, chiefly from the want of water. At three o'clock in the afternoon, information was received that the Sikh army was advancing; an the wearied and exhausted troops had scarcely time to seize their arms and get into position when the report was realized. Sir Hugh Gough immediately pushed forward the horse artillery and cavalry, directing the infantry, accompanied by the field bat- teries, to move forward in support. The troops had not advanced beyond two miles, when the enemy was found in position, with a force estimated at from 15,000 to 20,000 infantry, with the like number of cavalry, and forty guns. "To resist their attack," says the Commander-in-Chief in a despatch to the Go- vernor-General, "and to cover the formation of the infantry, I advanced the cavalry under Brigadiers White, Gough, .and Mactier, rapidly to the front, in columns of squadrons, and occupied the plain. They were speedily followed by the five troops of horse artillery under Brigadier Brooke; who took up a forward position, having the cavalry then on his flanks. The country is a dead flat, covered at short Intervals with a low but in some places thick jhow jungle, and dotted with sandy hillocks. The enemy screened their infantry and artillery be- hipd this jungle, and such undulations as the ground afforded; and whilst our twelve battalions formed from echellon of brigade into line, opened a very severe cannonade upon our advancing troops; which was vigorously replied to by the battery of horse artillery under Brigadier Brooke, which was soon joined by the to light field batteries. The rapid and well-directed fire of our artillery ap- peared soon to paralyze that of the enemy; and, as it was neeessary to com- plete our infantry dispositions without advancing the artillery too near to the jungle, I directed the cavalry under Brigadiers White and Gough to make a flank movement on the enemy's left, with a view of threatening and turning that flank, if possible. With praiseworthy gallantry, the Third Light Dragoons with the second brigade of cavalry, consisting of the Body Guard and Fifth LigheCavalry, with a portion of the Fourth Lancers, turned the left of the Sikh army, and, sweeping along the whole rear of its infantry and guns, silenced for a time the latter, and put their numerous cavalry to flight. Whilst this movement was taking place on the enemy's left, I directed the remainder of the Fourth Lancers, the Ninth Irregular Cavalry, under Brigadier Mactier' with a light field battery, to threaten their right. This manceuvre was also successful. Had not the infantry and guns of the enemy been screened by the jungle, these brilliant charges of the cavalry would have been productive of greater effect. "When the infantry advanced to the attack, Brigadier Brooke rapidly pushed on his horse artillery close to the jungle; and the cannonade was resumed on both sides. The infantry, under Major-Generals Sir Harry Smith, Gilbert, and Sir John M`Casirill, attacked in echelon of lines the enemy's infantry, almost in- visible amongst wood and the approaching darkness of night The opposition of the enemy was such as might have been expected from troops who had every- thing at stake, and who had long vaunted of being irresistible. Their ample and extended line, from their great superiority of numbers, far outflanked ours; but this was counteracted by the tank movements of our cavalry. The attack of the infantry now commenced; and the roll of fire from this powerful arm soon con- vinced the Sikh army that they had met with a foe they little expected; and their whole force was driven from position after position with great slaughter, and the loss of seventeen pieces of artillery, some of them of heavy calibre- our infantry using that never-failing weapon the bayonet whenever the enemy ;toed. Night only saved them from worse disaster; for this stout conflict was maintained dur- ing an hour and a half of dim starlight, amidst a cloud of dust from the sandy plain, which yet more obscured every object."

Amongst the killed was the gallant Major-General Sir Robert Sale. Towards the close of the action, his left thigh was shattered by a grape-shot, and he after- wards died of the wound. Sir John WCaskill was killed by a ball through his chest. Fifteen guns were captured, and placed in the fort at Moodkee.

On the following day, the 19th December, information was received that the enemy in increased numbers were to renew the attack; and the necessary dispo- sitions were made for repelling it The day passed without the enemy's appear- ; and in the evening, the 'Twenty-ninth Foot and the First European .Light Infantry, with a small division of heavy guns, came up. In mentioning these particulars and detailing the subsequent operations, Sir thigh Gough reports, as a meet favourable circumstance, that Sir Henry Hardinge, in addition to his valu- able counsel, offered his personal services as second in command; which were tempted. On the morning of the 21st, the offensive was resumed. The British force debonched four miles on the road to the village of Ferozeshah; where the enemy Was posted in great strength, having since the 18th been constantly employed in strengthening his already strong defences. A series of rnancenvres ensued,chiefly with the view of placing a force between the enemy's camp and Ferozepore, so as to form a junction with the troops under Sir John Littler, who had been directed on the previous evening to leave Ferozepore and form a junction with the ad- vancing army. The junction was effected, and Sir John Littler's force rescued from blockade.

Dispositions were now made for an united attack on the enemy's intrenched camp. The camp was in the shape of a 'parallelogram of about a mile in length

and half a mile in breadth, including within its area the strong village of Feroze- shah. The right wing of the army was commanded by Sir Hugh Gough, and the left by Sir Henry Hardinge. The enemy commenced a most destructive cannonade from upwards of a hundred guns; and in the face of a storm of shot

and shell, the British infantry advanced, carried the formidable intrenchments, and seized the guns. But when the batteries were partially within their grasp,

the British soldiery " had to face such a fire of musketry. from the Sikh infantry,

arrayed behind their guns, that, in spite of the most heroic efforts, a portion only of the intrenchment could be carried." The Sixty-second Foot, which formed part of Sir John Littler's division, fell back in a kind of panic from the murderous fire

of the enemy; their terror communicated itself to the Native regiments on the flanks, and they all retired out of gunshot The officers made the utmost exertions

to cheer the men on • devoting themselves to destruction in the fruitless example °flushing forward—for they were not followed. " With the conduct of the troops in general under me," says Sir John Littler, extenuatingly, " I was much gratified: their patience and perseverance in marching through the day, exposed

to the sun and want of water, must have, no doubt, in some measure weakened their energies; but they notwithstanding evinced great firmness and resolution in

advancing to the attack, until borne down by the most furious and irresistible firs from all arms that men could be exposed to the lose of many of their officers must have tended to relax their efforts and check their ardour; and under such cir- cumstances only could the disappointment to her Majesty's Sixty-second regiment themselves and to their country have been for a moment conceived." Night fell while the conflict was everywhere raging. The enemy remained all night in possession of a considerable portion of the great quadrangle. About

nudnight, one of their heavy guns was advanced, and played with deadly effect upon the British troops. Sir Henry Hardinge immediately formed two regiments, which advanced and captured the gun. During the whole night, however, the enemy continued to harass the British with their artillery, whenever moonlight enabled them to take aim.

The conflict was renewed and terminated on the 22d. " Our infantry," says Sir Hugh Gough, " formed line, supported on both flanks by horse artillery, whilst

S fire was opened from our centre by such of our heavy guns as remained effect-

ive, aided by a flight of rockets. A masked battery played with great effect upon this point, dismounting our pieces and blowing up our tumbrils. At this moment, Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Hardinge placed himself at the head of the left, whilst I rode at the head of the right wing. Our line advanced, and, unchecked, by the enemy's fire, drove them rapidly out of the village of Ferozeshah and their encampment; then, changing front to its left, on its centre, our force continued to sweep the camp, bearing down all opposition, and dislodged the enemy front their whole position. The line then halted, as if on a day of manceuvre, receiving its two leaders as they rode along its front with a gratifying cheer, and displaying the captured standards of the Khalsa army. We had taken upwards of seventy- three pieces of cannon, and were masters of the whole field. " Ttie force assumed a position on the ground which it had won; but even hem its labours were not to cease. In the course of two hours, Sirdah Tej,Singh, who had commanded in the last great battle, brought up from the vicinity of Feroze- pore fresh battalions and a large field of artillery, supported by 30,000 Ghent- pamis, hitherto encamped near the river. He drove in our cavalry parties, and

made strenuous efforts to regain the position at ierozeshah. This attempt was

defeated; but its failure had scarcely become manifest when the Sirdar renewed. the contest with more troops and a large artillery. He commenced by a com-

bination against our left flank; and when this was frustrated, made such a demonstration against the captured village as compelled us to change our whole front to the right. His guns during this manoeuvre maintained an incessant fire- while our artillery-ammunition being completely expended in these protracted combats, we were unable to answer lam with a single shot.

"I now directed our almost exhausted cavalry to threaten both flanks at once, preparing the infantry to advance in support; which apparently caused him sud- denly to cease his fire, and to abandon the field." The Sikh camp is described as the scene of awful carnage. Babadur Singh was killed. Cannon, large stores of grain, camp equipage, and ammunition, fell to the victors.

Major Broadfoot, the Governor-General's Political Agent, is among the killed in this battle. He was thrown from his horse by a shot, and Sir Henry Hardinge could not prevail upon him to leave the field: he remounted, and shortly after- wards received a mortal wound.

Many of the British were killed by the blowing up of mines after they had possession of the enemy's intrenchments. By some accounts these explosions are

attributed to accident; but an officer expressly states that they were caused by the Sikhs, and were continued during the three days he remained: he adds, that. some of the Sikhs who set fire to the mines and hidden ammunitions had not only been caught but hanged. A Rajah who had proved treacherous was hanged on a tree. Others are marked out for punishment at a convenient time.

The number of the British engaged during the three actions is not stated; but it is understood that at Moodkee the number did not exceed 15,000, and at Fe- rozeshah 21,000. The enemy on each occasion mustered three times the number, and the difference in artillery was still greater. Count Ravensburg, (Prince Waldemar of Prussia, first cousin to King Frede- rick William,) accompanied by two officers of his suite, Counts Greuben and Oriole, took part in the actions. Dr. Iloffmeister, the Count's medical attendant, was killed at Ferozeshah. As to the point of retreat of the muted enemy, nothing certain was known. Sir Hugh Gough, in his despatch dated Ferozeshah, December 22d, says—" The remains of the Kbalsa army are said to be in full retreat across the Satlej, at Nuggurputhurs and Tilla; or marching up its left bank towards llurreekeeputher, in the greatest confusion and dismay." Sir Henry Hardinge, in a proclamation dated Ferozepore, December 25th, states that these events, so glorious to the British arms, have been followed by the precipitate retreat of the enemy towards the Sutlej." In another proclamation, dated Ferozepore, 31st December, the Go- vernor-General declares that punishment mast follow. But the accounts vary as to whether the advance to Lahore is to be immediate, or deferred till Sir Charles Napier should have made his attack on Meehan. The later proclamation calls upon all natives and inhabitants of Hindostan who have taken service under the Lahore Government to quit that service, under pain of being treated as traitors to the British Government.

We subjoin extracts from the correspondence of officers engaged in the conflicts, supplying a few more graphic details than are to be found in offi- cial despatches. A surgeon, who dates his letter from Ferozepore, 28th December, writes thus- " Our regiment was engaged in the thickest of the fight both days, and distils.

gaished itself as it did in the Peninsula. Nothing could be more admirable, in the way of daring and discipline, than the advance of the regiment upon the mur- derous intrenchments of the enemy, both on the 21st and 22nd. .f he havoc in the charge made on the 21st was frightful: three of my brother officers, with 40 men, killed, and about 120 wounded, and in the most horrible manlier, by cannon and grape shot. On the second day the slaughter was less, but still numbers of poor fellows fell. On the 23rd, we halted on the field the remainder of the even- sn,g; retiring to the Sutlej during the night The army marched on the 24th, in the direction the enemy had retired, and halted at Saken Shane'sllah, about seven miles from Ferozepore; where I came with all the wounded of the regi- ment I could collect, numbering, on the evening of the 24th, no fewer than 178, and I have received many since. With my small hospital equip- ment, I advanced into the field with my regiment; and when the wounded began to drop behind fast, I opened hospital. We had nothing to protect ma but the cover of one stunted tree; the ground here being for an endless dis- tance one sandy plain as flat as a pancake. I assure you, whilst I was operating, and I did many amputations on the field, the cannon-shot were playing about us ranch too near, and now and then a shell would make the whole party of us bob our heads. Knowing there would be no water for us on the road or on the field, I had taken the precaution to load several vessels and leather bags with it, and carried them in the doolees or portable beds for the sick and wounded. I had also about two and a half dozen brandy; without which two articles, I see no- thing is to be done in the campaigning line. My surgical operations continued incessant till dark, and would have continued through'the night, for I had can- dles with me; but I had no sooner lighted them than orders came to put them out at once and keep all dark. Shortly after, I was ordered to remove my wounded and join my regiment: very easily said, but not to be done; I bad no carriages, and I had a crowd of wounded from all regiments. How- ever, as they said the Sikhs would be down upon us, those who could get away were anxious for a start; and it was at last deter- mined to remove as many as we could, and proceed in search of the regiment. Unfortunately, in endeavouring to find the regiment in the direction pointed out, we strayed a little to the left, and came upon the Sikh camp, fancying it the position of our own troops. The enemy soon undeceived us, by commencing to tire upon us, and it became necessary to retreat rapidly: and here my hospital establishment, that is the Native part of it, in the hurry to get away, threw down their loads, and I lost the whole of my instruments and stores. In retiring from the Sikh camp we were challenged by an officer; and upon advancing he proved to be an Aide-de-camp with Sir Henry Hardinge. The Governor-General asked me a great many questions; and whilst the conversation was going on, an officer of my own regiment came up; and I found that the regiment was close by, lying silent under arms, within gunshot of the enemy's camp.' Extract from a letter dated Camp Ataree, December 29th—" The privations endured by all, from the time we left Ferozepore, were excessive; the cry for water universal; and when we found a well on the 22d, in front of the village, the water was putrid, it having been destroyed by the Sikhs, and partially filled with their dead: it was then eagerly drank by all grades!"

NEW ZooLAND.—Letters and newspapers have arrived from Wellington,. bringing the intelligence from that place down to the 19th August. They contain no important news beyond what reached us by way of India more. than two months ago; but confirm the accounts of the three successive defeats of the troops by John Held. They give some horrible details of the barbarities inflicted upon the bodies of some of our officers. It appears that Lieutenant Philpotts (son of the Bishop of Exeter) was scalped by the Natives, after the Indian fashion•, the fleshy portions of Captain Grant's body were cut off and eaten; and it is stated as "ascer- tained, beyond a doubt, that a soldier was roasted alive by these cannibals, and, after a part of his body was eaten, the remains were thrown over the palisades of the pah." The Governor is openly accused, and apparently without contradiction, of having fabricated, or sanctioned the fabrication of, a postscript to Colonel Despani's despatch of the 3d July, in order to conceal the fact of the mutilation of Captain Grant's body.

Auckland has been abandoned by more than a thousand of the popu- lation; and the remainder are described as being supported by the Govern- ment pay they receive, as many as can bear arms, for serving in the militia. The Governor had issued debentures to the amount of nearly 40,000I.• which are, of course, at a heavy discount; and it is ascertained that forgei ones to a great amount are in circulation. These have been traced to an. official person ; and public indignation is directed against the Governor for a supposed condonation of the crime. In all the Company's settlements there was perfect tranquillity, and as much production going on as was possible under the circumstances; the Natives being still in armed occupation of the Hutt, and no real progress made by the Government in the settlement of the land question. Thu Governor had offered the Company's agents grants of the land in Welling- ton and the neighbourhood, "excepting the Native reserves made by the Company, the pahs, the burial-grounds, and all those lands which at any time have been cultivated by the Natives." This is considered by the settlers as absolutely worthless; as it leaves out all the lands which were in dispute, and, which it is alleged have been purchased by the Company and the settlers three times over. The grant, burdened with these condi- tions, has been refused by Colonel Wakefield. Under such an arrange- ment, it is ascertained that from one-sixth to one-fourth of the land built upon in the town of Wellington would revert to the Natives.

It is believed that the more powerful chiefs are waiting to see the result of the contest between John Heki and the Government. If he should succead once more, it is probable they would join him; and in that case, the military force sent out up to this time would be utterly insufficient to protect the lives and property of the settlers, or to maintain the authority of the Government.

ALGEnta.—Every report of the death, defeat, or retreat of Abd-el-Kader, is followed by some announcement of his sudden reappearance in full ac- tivity. It was understood that, having grievously harmssed Marshal Bugeaud's army, he had retired for awhile: he has now, say letters from Algiers of the 13th instant, reappeared at the gates of Denys, and has ravaged the territory of the Lasers, a tribe faithful to the French alliance. General Gentil had "driven him out" with "considerable loss." On the 8th, the Emir was near Hamza; and Marshal Bugeaud was marching towards him.

FRANCE.—It has been understood in Paris, that the Due d'Aumale was to leave that city today, for Africa; virtually to supersede Marshal Bngeaud.

The most interesting topic of discussion in the Chambers has been a bill introduced to the Deputies, on Monday, by M. Desmousseaux de Givre, enacting that the octroi duty on cattle be in future taken not by tale but by weight; the object being to encourage the use of butcher.meat in the capital. The Journal des Dards remarks that the consumption of meat in Paris has diminished since the Revolution-' though no one would say that the French were gorged with animal food before that time. In other respects the condition of the people has improved; but the journalist points out the danger of suffering the race to degenerate for want of suffi- cient nourishment.

SPaisr.—The Cortes have declared that the post created for Narvaez, of Commander-in-chief, shall be merely honorary; and Ministers have ac- quiesced. It is said that during the Ministerial crisis, Narvaez was so insolent that one of his colleagues challenged him; but the seconds "arranged this little affair." He is about to travel in Italy.

PRUSSIA.—There has been a suppressed attempt at a revolution in Posen, a Polish province of Prussia. A band of the Polish nobility assem- bled in the provincial town, to the number of six hundred; and it is said that they had engaged in a conspiracy to poison the garrison and seize the place. On the 14th instant, however, Prussian troops suddenly took pos- session of the capital, and great numbers of arrests were simultaneously made in the towns of the province: many fled. It is said that poisoned bread had been found in the barracks and hospitals, gunpowder and large Bums in possession of the conspirators; and that the treason had infected the population at large, and even some regiments in the army. All the conspirators were conveyed to Posen, and lodged in the citadeL
