The Indian mail proclaims two victories and two defeats in

the encounters of European and Asiatic forces. The victories are British : Lieutenant Edvrardes, with Native aid, had effectually routed the contumacious Moolraj of Moultan in Northern India ; and the Queen's ship Scout has severely chastized a daring set - of pirates at Amoy. The defeats are Dutch: two expeditions, a great one against the piratical Balinese, and a smaller one against the still more piratical people of Sooloo, had been de- feated and forced to retire,—a twofold blow which may seriously injure the prestige of Holland in the Eastern Archipelago.
