POSTSCRIPT.
SATURDAY NIGHT.
Intelligence has been received from Calcutta to the 22d November, from Bombay to the 2d December; the mail having been brought by Mr. Waghorn. The only striking item is the perfect reversal of the last news from the Vale of Cashmere. " The insurrection is now fairly over: the Sheik Emam-ed-Deen surrendered himself into our hands on the 31st October, and troops advancing on the lately disturbed country were imme- diately ordered to return to quarters. The troops sent from Ferozepore to occupy for a time the Sikh capital, moved out on the 9th, and took their way in the direction of the Sntlej."
The Times publishes a letter purporting to be by some one on board the steam-sloop Salamander, and dated from Tahiti on the 1st June. It is there mentioned that the French had experienced very grave reverses, both at Tahiti and at Huahine. The Natives at the latter place, after beating their opponents on land, repulsed the Uranie, of sixty guns. The French lost several men, killed and wounded. The steamer Phaeton had brought in, at two trips, upwards of a hundred wounded, including the chief com- manding officer and the Governor's aide-de-camp.
There has been an arrival of Cape of Good Hope papers to the 25th October. They communicate no additional information of any interest. The hostilities with the Kafirs were confined to skirmishing.
