S ; _pSes of _* ad-scattered . bout through S teTO-thJ _abided limbs and _manged bodies which r . ur sheHs htd occasioned , and the _gbaBtly wounds of _somesttS surviving—were » wfiil to-behold . It was now fonnd , moreover , that the capture of the- city haB . in no way _impr-wed our prospects of getting snto the fort , which was nowhere stronger that on tiie side next the town .

      Siege operations , therefore , required to oe recommenced , and perallels were immediately begun to he constructed within 500 yards , of'the walls . _Moilraj plied his artillery as briskly , and offered as stout a re . _ista-ace , as ever . Our batteries were once more opened frith as much vigour and as little SUCCESS as _ever—Tvben it seemed as if the mud walls ¦ were incapafele of being breached by any ordinary species of practice . Even should a breach be established , a dfech surrounded the fort forty feet in -width , and-twenty-five feet deep , the he-girt of the -wall from the bottom ofthe ditch being well nigh _fiftv feet , -Mining was now determined to be attempted , j _od three shafts were accordingly begun to be run in the direction of the counterscarp , running from the bastion to near the Dowlut gate of the town . It was believed that tbe whole would be so

      shaken by the explosion that the establishment ofa breach would be comparatively _* asy . The first thing , however , was , as far as- practicable , to have the dftcfa filled up ; and the mines were exploded on the 18 th under the crest of the glacis , by which tlie counterscarp was completely blown in . . Our heavy gnns and howitzer batteries , fired eight -inch shells , -which buried themselves in the works and then exploded , doing the work of mines . The sap had by the morning of the 19 th reached the edge of the ditch , and the shaft was commenced the same evening . The ' walls and bastions now began to look sorely shattered everywhere , —and no wonder , . considering what they had undergone . Ambassadors

      from the fort had : two or three times visited our camp , on the part of Moolraj , with proposals for a -conditional surrender ; on every occasion they were told that no terms would be granted , and that nothing but an unconditional surrender would be accepted of . The 22 nd was the day named as-that on which the fort wonld be stormed in case our demend was not complied with . The battering guns were meanwhile kept in full operation , and tremendous salvos ef artillery were continued at . intervals . Two breaches were reported practicable on

      the 21 st , and en the morning of the 22 nd our troops ¦ were formed for the assault , when Moolraj would seem to have been at length terrified at the . preparations made for his destruction , * ami surrendered himself , and the citadel , with its garrison of from 3 , 000 to 4000 men , unconditionally into our hands . Thus terminated the siege of Mooltan , which had been _connaexiceo by General Vv tnsh . in the beginning of September , and cost us the lives of eleven officers , and not fewer , perhaps , than from 250 to 300 men ; with 47 officers and some hundreds of men wounded .

      There bas been an unpleasant little affair in tbe Bare . e _Donb , where a British force has suffered somewhat severe loss in attempting to storm and take a strong stockaded position , occapied by Ram Singh nnd a large body of Sikhs .

      SURRENDER OF ATTOCK TO THE AFFGHANS . Attock has at length fallen into the hands ofthe enemy . Tiie fidelity of the AfFghans had been tried too far . "When they fonnd ( says the Bombay . Times ) a British army of 24 , 000 men afraid apparently to mo-. e beyond its lines , while their own countrymen were approaching from the western capital , and treason was gaining strength on every side , tbey threw open the gates and admitted ibe men ef Cabool . Tfae _Affghans , it is taid , plundered tbe

      town and violated the women . Lieut . Herbert made an endeavour to escape down tbe Indus , but fell into the hands of Chutter Singh . Capt . Abbott it still at large , but there are no recent tidings of . his whereabouts . Major and Mrs . Lawrence , and their children , are in the -power of the rebel chief . It is said Sir JL Lawrence is very anxious to prevent Dost Mahomed obtaining possession of bis brother , as he has an- ' ancient grudge' against him , whicb hs would not fail to' feed fat' were he to secure his

      person . The' Dost himself is said to beon the banks of the Indus , watching the progress of events .

      SANGUINARY BATTLE WITH THE SIKHS . The following is extracted from the Bombay _Telegraph and Courier : —• The intelligence which the preseut mail will convey is probably more important than an _? we bave bad to send home since the time - « hen all eyes used to be directed with such breathless anxiety towards Cabul . —Another of those murderous conflicts which have rendered our- hostilities with the Sikhs so conspicuous , has occurred on the left bank of the river Jhelum , near , or , as some sayon , the identical spot which two thousand years ago formed the battle field of Alexander and Forus . That icene . rich in classic associations , has been' arena of a fierce and protracted struggle between the army of the Punjaub , under Lord Gough , and tbe Sikh forces under Rajah Shere Singh—a ' struggle in which the British have had to deplore the

      loss of at least _ninely . three officers and 2 , 500 men killed and wounded , four gnns captured , and four five or six regimental colours taken by the enemya struggle which terminated in victory , bnt which was dii g _raceaby the flight of a Bengal cavalry reg ' u _jnent , andthe retreat—as yet scarcely satisfactorily explained—of -two British corps of Dragoonsr-a struggle , finally , wbich left both the . contending hosts so weak ' and shattered tbat it was doubtful which had sustained the greater injury from the conflict , and which yielded so few of thebadges ' oi triumph for the -victors , that their opponents took up a new position ,, and fired aEalute in honour of its termination . Though masters of the field , onr laurels are drenched with blood , and it is tbe universal opinion that two more auch victories' would be virtual ruin . ' :

      'Atthe date of onr last , summary , Lord Gough , with his army , was encamped at Janiki , waiting in the expectation of _hearibg-of the faU or surrender of Mooltan . the ; receipt of . _wl-ichn tidings , * It was generally believed , wonld be the -signal for an onward movement ... The siege operations , however , proceeding more slowly-than was ' anticipated , and circumstances " appearing _J . 'to render farther- delay inadvisable , the Gbmmander-in-Chief seems to have altered his _infeirtion / and to have , determined on attacking Shere -Singh ' s position _^ before , obtaining -news of the success of General _Whish _.. ;•; _--.. . 1 4 The British troops moved from their position on the 9 th inst . ( January ) , and took . np new ground a place called Lusooree , about five . _miles to the right , and two miles to the front , of their former £ amp .

      a communication , dated Camp _Cbfllcanwala , the 14 th inst ., says : — ' Tfae army marched yesterday at naif-past seven o * c ! ock _£ in order of battle .

In the'meantime Brigadier Godhjr , ' with Majdr . General Sir W ; Gilbert as a leader , who was on the extreme ri g ht of the Infantry line , moved forward , and , af ter

      _ttarcking through dense jungle for some minutes , caipe upon the enemy ' s infantry ; ; the brigade , opened their _^ re , hut the enemy were in such numbers that they easily outflanked tbem . Two companies of the n ad European Regiment -were wheeled- op showed front , -and the * whole'charged , but bad not gone far when they found they' were surrounded . They immediately faced right-about , kept u ' _p'some file-firing , and charged , rear rank in front . At this juncture Dawes * battery came to the rescue , and , having beaten of the enemy , their guris were taken . While the Infantry were thus highly distinguishing themselves , and . earning imperishable laurels , the Cavalry on the extreme left , under Brigadier White ,

      had made a dashing charge , and contributed much to the defeat of the enemy , while ths Cavalry on the extreme right , consisting of Brigadier Pope ' s force , with the 14 th Light Dragoons temporarily attached , haviag been taken in advance . of their Horse Artillery ( Lane ' s , Christie ' s , and Huish's troops ) , were directed to cbarge a body of the enemy's cavalry , variously . estimated at from 1 , 000 to 5 , 000 . Instead of obeying the orders given' them , they faced about , and , in spite of the energetic endeavours of their own and other officers , ' left the field ( with the exception of a body of the 9 th Lancers , who were rallied ) , and made direct for the Artillery ; on coming np to wbicb , instead of pulling up , they

      dashed through Huish ' s and Christies troops , upsetting a waggon and some horses , and directing their course to the * field hospital . ' The enemy , seeing the advantage they bad thus unaccountably ensured , followed our cavalry , gbt amongst the' horse artillery , cut down no less than' seventy-three gunners ; who had ; by . 'the fligfit o ' f the cavalry through their ranks , "been " -deprived of the meaps of defending themselves , ' and carried 'off six . of the guns , two of which were subsequently recovered ' , ' and would have done much more harm had tot Colonel Lane been fortunately enabled-to draw his troop ont of the mefee , and pour in grape so energetically that therGoorchurras thtfnght'they had done enough , and ; fled . t . * .- ' :

      It is stated that in the opening cannonade the Sikhs were so effectually concealed behind the thick jungle that the only guide to the British Artillerymen in taking aim was the smoke of the enemy's guns ' . Tbe dreadful slaughter in ' _"HerMajesty ' s 24 ih Regiment is attributed' in some raeas ' iire'fo ' the exhausted state in which the roeh ' reached the battery against which-they were sent .- _'^ Almostas soon as they * had got to lhe Sikh guns and commenced spiking tbem , a regiment of the -enemies infantry

      suddenly opened- a volley on * them . The' 24 th then , with their native companions' of the 22 nd and 25 th Bengal Native Infantry ( forming Pennycuick ' s 'Brigade ) , commenced a retreat , and- great havoc was made amongst tbem , the _Brigadierfallingalong-with many of his-men .. Thirteen officers ef the 24 th were killed and wounded , and some 500 men-of the same regiment li 6 e _* -ise bit ' th ' e dust . An excuse has been put forth for the flight of the 14 th Dragoons ; it is said they . mistool * an order given to them , to move to lhe _rightiorleft-fo _** an order to retire . ' ,

      FRANCE : : The Assembly . — "Oh Saturday a very stormy scene took place in . the National Assembly , in bori . sequence of some interpellations put to , the , Government by _^ M . Martin Bernard , on the _subjicvof a _Socialist banquet whjch was broken up a . fen * , days ago by the police . . ; _.- ' . ¦ . '" The circumstances : which gave rise to the interpellations were these : —A banquet tbok place on Thursday la _« t , at the Barriere du . Maine , to celebrate the anniversary of the foundation -of : the Republic . M . Pierre Leroux , the well-known Socialist representative , presided at > the banquet ; and M . M artin Bernard , one ofthe occupants ' of the Mourir tain , was also' present , the " resfc'bi the company

      was composed principally of students .- . In the midst of the dinner _aoommissary ' . of . _nolijce- jnade _. _hw ap . pearance , _andj in the name of _lawiclaimed his right to be present during the proceedings . The president refused to admit him , stating that the banquet was a monthly one , and thatthe law . relative to clubs did not refer to it . -Uponthis , _tbftcemi-aissary retireii _. _ibnt-auortiy . ' afterwards he returned , _; accompanied by a strong body-of-police , ' and . ' _turned '' the _whbleparty "; out of _doprsl . According ; to - % B , erflar ' d ' _, thi ' s pfoceedingbn the part of the . commissary waa riot only illegal and _unconsUWUSMl ' _-in / itself , but it was executed With ; a _degreepf y ! pl , ence '' , _vhicb was . wholly uncalled for . ! The persons present were struck with sticks , several of them were - ' knocked

      down , tbe tables were overturned ; and-. parties in other parts of the house , but having nothing to do with the banquet itself ; were , filmed' out arid illtreated . M . Leon Faucher , inhis reply to this charge ' _, stated that the fact of tbe-meeling being a ' periodical one , brought it within the operation of- ' the law of 1790 , that it was consequently ! under ithe- ' surveillance of the police , and that consequently the _ctira . missary was entitled to act as he had done * , and that , as regarded ihe . alleged violence , the persons who had ' refused admission to the commissary had violated the law , and it was therefore necessary to employ force , but no violence had been committed which was not aosolutely necessary .

      A very violent debate ensued , in which M . Pierre Leroux made a fierce attack on the government . M . Victor Grandiri followed , and complained loudly of the clubs , and so far from accusing the government of violence , he accused it of too much tolerance in not putting them down long ago . M . Ledru-Rolliri then rose arid drew a very striking contrast between the conduct Of -M . Odillon Barrot at , the present time and his conduct when the question was with respect to the banquet of the 12 th _arrohdissemerit , whicb led to . the revolution of February . He declared that the language ofthe Ministers of the present day was precisely that . vised

      by M . Guizot in reference to the .. banquets , arid that the Opp osition of the present day was doing nothing but protesting in favour of liberty , as the Opposition of 1848 bad protested in favour of liberty against tbe last ministers of Louis-Philippe .. M . _Le'dru-Rollin produced an immense sensation by reading from the Moniteur the account of . the dehate in February , 18 ' 48 , oh the subject of the' banquets- and the cheering of the Republicans was immense when he read the _Swords applied on- tKat ' occasion to' M . Odillon Barpt— ' If jou were _sitting * on the ' same bench as w : e are , you would do precisely what we aredoine . ' !

      - To this M . Odillon Barrot made one . of his usual replies , vainly attempting to cover his falsehood and treason . Ultimately the Assembly passed , to , the order of the day , which _waaj in other words ,. stamping , the conduct of the government witb its' approbation . ; , ,, Wednesday . —The following appears in the Patrie of last night . One -Madrid _correspondertt , in his letter of the 29 th , confirms the fact of the _prei natations making by Spain for an armed _iftteNentibn

      in Italy : _—» Weare assured that letters ., hav _, ' e * been received by express , announcing that S p ain . \ \ .

      THE WAR IH HUNGARY . General Schlick has joined the main Austrian army .
