(From the Times'.) A communication was inserted on Wednesday, from Colonel Decluzeau, calling in question the-' authenticity of the announcement bv the last India mail, of a mutinv broken out among the Bombay troops at Dharwar, the date of the information beinn the 9th of August, while according to Colonel Decluzeau, it is known that the commander at that station had telegraphed to Bombay that all was quiet there on the 12th of that month. Subjoined, however, is a copy of the letter from tbe officer at Beilary, in the Madras presidency, on which the statement was founded, and which seems to prove that, although, through the adoption of vigoious measures, everytmng may have been quiet at Dharwar, on the 12th of Angust, an outbreak must have occurred or Deen threatened a lew days previously: Bellarv. Auerjit 9, Telegraph just received. Mutiny taken place 200 miles irom this, xsornoay troops. We are off at one o'clock to-night.

We expect to be into tbe scoundrels in five davs bv forced marches'. This is good work. Our men are stanch, thank God! Love to all. I am as happy as a lark. I only hope I may have an opening to dash forward.

I think tbe right men are in tbe right place. Hughes commands. Only the right wing goes. The mutiny is at Dharwar." In connection with this subject, another correspondet confirms the fact of some critical demonstrations having taken place. He has property at Dharwar, and' his letters by tbe last mail state, that great excitement and that the EuropeaD residents had applied to government for arms and ammunition, and were keeping their horsts saddled in preparation for any emergency.

The following letter has been addressed by Culonsl Sykes to the editor of the Timet; "Sir, On the subject of the safety of Dbarstar and Belgauui, the accompanying extracts from two -letters in my possession will allay public anxiety Mrs. (at Chelten ham) had a telegraphic message yesterday afternoon from her brother, Colonel Maclean, who commands the regiment at Dharwar, dated the 12ih of August, and be says, "All quiet here, and likely to continue His letter, dated the 5th of August, bad been so gloomy that be sent tho telegraphic message when things got brighter. With respect to Belgaum, Major Olasse writes to bis wife from Bombay thankful to say allwas quiet at Belgaum up to the 15th of At Kutnagherry, on the coast, a wing of tbe 27th Regiment, part of which bad mutinied at Kolapore, was stationed, and bad not shown aBy symptoms of and 80 European troops having arrived, tbe station felt secure." FRANCE. The Paris correspondent of tbe Timet, in a letter dated Thursday evening, says: "An interview ii fixed to take place at Weimar on the 1st of October between tbe Emperors of Russia and of Austria. Tbe bare fact is all that I am to-day able to communicate to you.

The announcement, when made, will cause some surprise here, especially to those persons who for some time past have been expatiating on the isolation of Austria. Since the meeting at Stutgardt was first talked of there have been reports in Paris of interviews, probable or possible, between various potentates, but I do not remember that rumour brought together tbe two sovereigns who are to meet in Saxony on the 1st of next month. The Emperor Franois-Joseph will leave Ptthren-dorf the cavalry manoeuvres at which place are to be attended by a number of persons of high distinction on the 28th instant for Vienna, and from that capital will proceed to Weimar. Tbe negotiations for tbe interview must have been conducted with great secrecy for nothing to have transpired until it was actually Axed, and only one week before the date appointed for its occurrence. The Emperor Napoleon, who was warmly received at Luneville, left this morning for Strasburg, where be was to arrive at three this afternoon.

He will breakfast to-morrow at Baden, on his way to Stutgardt, Count Walewiki left to-day to join him. He was to have gone yesterday but ba been very unwell, and, moreover, was watting for despatches fi om Vienna. The King of Denmark has sent him tbe Grand Cross of the Order of the Elephant. It is believed that the count has been a warm supporter of tba view which the French government has definitively adopted with respect to tbe question of the duchies a view favourable to Denmark, and in which it it here thought that the English government coincides. A transport is being prepared for sea, which, it is said, is to convey to Pondicberry a battalion of Marines as a reinforcement to the garrison.

It ii reported this afternoon that the Prince of Prussia and the Grand Duke of Hesse will go to Kehl to greet the Emperor on hit passage through that place." The funeral of M. Manin, the ex-president of the Venetian republic, took place on Thursday. More than 1,500 persons followed his coffin to tbe Montrnartre cemetery. The pallbearers were General Ulloa; M. Pinchel, formerly finance minister of tbe Venetian repuDiio; M.

juegi Anto; Manin's oldest friends: and Arv painter. Among the followers were general Dambmski, Montanelli, a number of Italian and Hungarian. refogees, M. Lsgouve, of the French Academy; M. Levaseeor, who was consul of France at Venice during Manin's government-, and great many literary men and journalists, French and foreign.

Everything passed off quite quietly. Certain precautions had been taken by tbs police, and M. Manin, the son of tbe deceased, was warned that no speech muBt be made, aud that his presence in Paris would be no longer permitted if this order were disobeyed. It was, of course, duly observed. SWEDEN AND NORWAY.

(From the Timet.) We have received the following telegraphic despatch from Stockholm, dated the 24th instant: "Yesterday the four estates which form the Swedish parliament accepted the King's proposal that tbe crown prince should be nominated regent during the king's illness. The proposal met with opposition only from the citizens and peasants." SPAIN. A royal decree, published in the Madrid Gazette of the 20th instant, convokes the cortes for tbe 30th October. DOMESTIC.

There is, if anything, rather more inquiry for money on mercantile account, and the Bank minimum rate of 6 per cent is firmly maintained. We do not hear of any instances wbtTe even tbe very best paper is done below that rate. The operations of the shippers of gold to the continent continue active, and have taken all the gold brought by the Norfolk 'com Australia, amounting, it will be remembered, to 200.800, leaving but a small parcel in the market, so that il probable, unless fresh supplies arrive, that application will tttva t0 be made to the Bank to meet the demand. It is at tmt tim8 probable, however, that as the late shipments 10 ny.

The amount ef business doing is extensive, and the upward tendency of prices con tinues.

There is a talk here of quotations Koinz to hitherto unheard of figures a question of considerable moment to mor8 than tUe mannfacturiDg intest. The next India mail is anxiously looked for. There is some exnsntation that tbe Indian government will prohibit the export of saltpetre, but this ia queitionable. It is said, however, to be one of tho causes of tho pneas having already gone so high. The large supply of Ejsex and Kentish wheat, by ship and rail, and tbe absenca of renders it difficult to say at what price sales could be pressed, so we must quote slow sale, at Monday's rates.

In flour there is a slow trade; Norfolks worth 39s. Tbe hop duty continues to creop upwards, and it is said is likely to be backed for 230,000, to even 235,000, if not 240.000.

There is generally a disposition on the part of the public, iu times of anxiety or disaster, to listen with an over-ready credulity to all charges made against those who happen to be for the time at the head of affairs. It is not strange that this should be bo the statesmen in power are the persons to whom we look to avert disasters and to calm uneasiness, and when they fail to do so, it is natural, though perhaps not just, that the nation should be inclined to suspect them of mismauage-ment or incompetency.

Add to this the fact that when parliament is not sitting, official reserve and the reticence necessary to the conduct of public affairs in a country governed as England is, make it next to impossible for a minister to reply even to the gravest charges against him, at the same time that his internal knowledge of the facts of the case make those charges seem to him often so frivo lous and absurd as to be utterly unworthy of a reply, while the ill-informed public greedily accept, and his political opponents are not backward in spreading them and we shall easily understand how it is that, in such a crisis as that which our Indian affairs just now present, a minister so rarely meets with justice at the hands of the public generally. Mr. Vernon Smith is not, and never has been, a public favourite nor has he ever done or said any thing, so far as is generally known, to entitle him to the position of a cabinet minister, and the charge of our most valuable dependency. He may be an excellent man of business and a competent states man it is highly improbable that he is as incapable as he is sometimes represented, for the simple reason that if he were so, it is hardly likely that he would have obtained a seat in the present government. But whether he be or be not all that the public could desire, the public knows almost nothing of his capacity and therefore, in a period of alarm like the present, is but too willing to believe any evil report concerning him.

Had he been more popular, it is hardly probable that a charge so unjust as that now vehemently urged against him, that he might have landed an army on the shores of India in five weeks," and preferred to send them round by a sea voyage of three months, as alleged by one of our contemporaries, could ever have obtained general credence. It is plain to all who are capable of thinking n.the subject, that two things are necessary iu ier to insure the rapid transport of troops by the overland route steamers in abundance, both here and at Suez, and an ample supply of coal at Suez, Aden, and the other points on the route. Now, when it first became necessary to send out troops from this country, there were no steamers in the lied Sea prepared to receive them and it was surely a far shorter process to send them out direct and at once round the Cape, than to send steamers by that route to meet them at Suez. But besides this, it seems probable that there is no adequate supply of coal at the coaling stations in the Red Sea, such as would be sufficient for steamers conveying a large body of troops. Coal deteriorates so rapidly in hot climates, that it is in the highest degree improbable that the stock kept by the Peninsular and Oriental Company at those points is more than sufficient to ensure an adequate provision for their own requirements.

It is the practice of all companies running steam vessels in such climates to keep their stocks of coal at the depots as low as can safely be done and it is not likely that there was in this case auy exception to the rule. As to landing an army within five weeks," therefore, the thing is simply absurd and with regard to the past no blame attaches to any of the official personages with whom the responsibility should rest. With regard to the future, we do not intend to offer any opinion on the necessity or advisability of adopting the plan of Messrs. Croskey Co. It is sufficient to point out that that Bchenie would not be practicable for some weeks nay, months to come, as both coal and steamers must be provided in the Red Sea nor do we see how the coal can be sent otherwise than in sailing vessels round the Cape of Good Hope.

It is quite clear that since this has not, and could not have been done as yet, it would have been impossible to send troops to India through Egypt and thus the accusation so bitterly pressed against the government which was, not that they are not going to do this, but that they have not done it yet, falls to the ground. On looking at the collapse of British authority in the north-west provinces of India, the paramount importance of keeping one principle in view is suggested at every point. The head corner stone of our power from the day when the factories on the coast began to swell into the proportions of an empire, has been the native faith in the superiority of the British race. The permanent reconstruction of the shaken edifice can be effected only by laying the foundations deeply and firmly in the sentiment by which it has hitherto been sustained. Fortunately, the suppression of yie mutiny affords, and will continue to afford, innumerable opportunities of proving that we justly claim to rule by that sort of right divine which the Asiatic genius jmplicitly respects.

The prestige of our inviola- bil-y for the moment, been destroyed, to the amazb.tuent of none more than of those who have had a haJ10-in its overthrow but it will be carried to a far hhner level than before by the rebound that must ke place from the insolent ecstacy. into which tll'e subject people of India have been betrayed. -Tlle war which a mere handful of Europeans are waging against a vast and well-equipped arm'T teems with instructive practical lessons adapted tue meanest comprehension. General Havel sck's heroic march ia an ethnological lecture, the meaning of which will certainly not be miaunders-ood by those who feel the illustration on their bactrs. When the rebellious sepoys find that they are again and again scattered by less than a tenth of number, that no individual daring or excellence discipline which they may display in the field will avail them against the unity of purpose and strength of head which directs a British force, and that through the very heart of a hostile kingdom the smallest European army that can possibly beat its way will penetrate unhesitatingly for correction and for vengeance, they must understand that neither their fathers nor themselves have over-estimated the natural superiority of blood to which they have been accustomed to succumb.

It is easy to perceive in what manner the sudden disturbance of this old and mysterious feeling of awe has instigated the atrocities of the revolt. All that we know of human nature oppressed by the consciousness of inferiority teaches us that there must have beeu an extraordinary zest for the sepoy in taunting, torturing, and murdering the race which he had been accustomed to deem invested with some of the attributes of divinity. But we have to show that our supremacy is assured on the secure basis of an absolute pre-eminence of intellectual aud moral character, without which we cannot hope, and we have no business to desire, to retain our Indian dominions. The great task of restoring our position in native opinion will be very far from having ceased with the reduction of the actual rebellion. By retaining our hold on the country when assailed by enormous odds and totally surprised, aud by reconquering it with such a manifestation of energy as has never been displayed in all our Indian wars collectively, we shall have prepared the field most effectually for the instruction which we desire to disseminate.

That part of the lesson which is to sink the deepest and last the longest will have to be conveyed in reconstituting the civil and military administration of India. It is natural that au infinite number of suggestions bearing on this subject should be put iu circulation at the present time, when the importance and delicacy of the undertaking are universally apparent. The test to which, iu our humble opinion, they should all be brought is less that of conformity with successful precedent, or concurrence with the dictate of high authority, than that of consistency with the fundamental idea involved in our possession of the fields of Hindostau. The principle that should preside over every arrangement, whether in the army or in the state, is that of unfaltering confi dence in our right to rule over the native population by virtue of an inherent superiority. If we are faith less to the spirit of that great commission which we believe ourselves to have received from Nature, we cannot hope that it will be respected by those at the cost of whose independence it is granted and if we have beguu to admit any doubts in our minds as to the validity of our title, the attempt to retain our sovereignty will be as vain as it must be vicious.

To keep this point steadily in view will be found a very useful corrective to theories which lean to extravagance on the side either of exclusiveness or liberality in dealing with the population of India. The cardinal principle is evidently disregarded as much in repressive measures betraying a distrust of our superiority, as in concessions implying a false and fatal admission of native equality. To a certain extent it is inevitable that we should put Asiatics into places of trust both in the civil administration and in the army. We cannot spare Englishmen enough, or nearly enough, to hold all the authority in their own hands. It is also desirable that we should so, because the more we allow the natives to try their qualities by the side of European competitors, the greater we shall appear in their estimation, if our superiority of race is that which we flatter ourselves.

Nor are there any people in the world who will draw this inference from such concession more readily than the natives of India themselves. No people appre- ciate so thoroughly as Asiatics the doctrine of Mr.

Carlyle and other philosophers of the realiBt school, that the first business of a government is to govern. To them every Englishman in the country is a representative of superior power, or his right to be there at all will speedily be called in question.

The various details of those arrangements in which the supremacy of the European race will Via vp tn p.nn alrWorl nnrl naaerr.nl tnr, and complicated a subject to enter upon here. One reflection, however, of a general nature is too urgent to be passed over in silence. If the continuauce of our dominion must depend wholly on the superiority of the English employed in India over the natives of of the east in character aud acquirements, the first thing to be cared for is that such superiority shall actually exist.

That result is not to be attained by keeping the natives in ignorance and incapacity, but in providing that the men whom we send out to represent the dominant race in the east shall fairly represent the best qualities which the country can produce. More thau that, we have to take care that, when they are on the scene of action, the qualities of which they have given evidence at home shall be elicited by the most advantageous process, and kept constantly up to the point which is necessary to make them felt and respected iu native appreciation. We more than fear that, if the sepoys are shown by the mutiny to have lost nxuch of the respect with which they were wont to regard the English character, it is because the best side of the English character has not been extensively shown to them of late years. Nor cau it be allosved that this mis giving is shaken by the admirable address aud intrepidity which the servants of the Company have almost everywhere displayed in the presence of danger and death, for it happens that the power of developing these excellent qualities, on tbe demand of a great emergency, is not altogether incompatible with a disposition indifferent to duty and unaccustomed to exertion. The terrible ordeal through which our countrymen have gone will not be without its uses if it shall revive the spirit of national pride among them, and redeem the English character for capacity and vigour from any discredit into which it may have fallen in prosperity and peace.

The Ayr Obtcnet has published the following extract of letter from General Neill, dated Cawnpore, August 1: I left Allahabad on the 10th, und joined General Ilave-lock's force on the 21st, and found poor Major Keuaud had been severely wouuded. His horse was first shot under him, bullet then hit him above the kueo, forcing part of the scabbard of his sword into the wound, und causing much suffering, Amputation seemed to afford grcit relief, and he appeared doing well, when be suddenly expired, comparatively free from pain. He had done right well, and will be sincerely mourned in the regiment (the Fusiliers), in which he was much respected and esteemed. Sinco I arrived hero I hr.vo been hard at work to get order re-established. I have now put a stop t3 the plundering I found going on, by reorganising a police.

I am also collecting ull tho property of the deceased, and trying to trace if any havo survived, but as yet have not succeeded finding one. Man, woman, and c'nld reem all to have been murdered. As soon as that monster, Nana heard of the success of our troops, and of then- having forced the bridge, about 20 miles from Cawnpore, he ordered the wholesale butchery of tho poor women and children. I find the officers' servants behaved shamefully, and were in a plot, all but the lowest caste ones. They deserted their masters and plundered them.

Whenever n. rebel is caught he is immediately tried, and unless be can proveado-fonce, be is sentenced to be hanged at once; but the chief rebels or ringleaders I make first clean up a certain portion of the pool of blood, still 2in. deep, in the shed where the fearful murder and mutilation of women and children took place. To touch blood is most abhorrent to the high-caste natives; they think by doing so they doom their souls to perdition. Let them think so.

My object is to inflict a fearful punishment for a revolting, cowardly, barbarous deed, und to strike terror into these rebels. The first I caught was a subafadar or native officer, a high-caste Brahmin, who tried to resist my order to cloan up tbo very blood he had helped to shed: but I mnde the provost-marshal do bis duty, and a few laahca soon made tbe miscreant accomplish his task. When done, he was taken out and imuiediately hanged, and after death buried in a ditch at the road side. No ono who has witnessed the scene of murder, mutilation, and massacre, can ever listen to the word mercy, as applied to these finnds. Tne well of mutilated bodies ales! containing upwards of 200 women and children, I havo bad decently covered ia, and built up as one large grave.

I am in tb9 entrenched camp most miserable position. Nono but Englishmen could havo held it for a day, and yet how nobly did poor Sir H. TV heeler hold out here. On the 29th General Havelock moved on towards Lucknow. Wo had not gone far before he came on a strong post of the enemy about 20 000, with guns, fie defeated them gallantly, and took all their gao, but sustained considerable loss.

A-nongstthem-mber, I am sorry to say, was young Richiidson, a fine gallant officer of tho Fusiliers, whom I Iud highly noticed at Bonares rot- his gallantrj and young Seton, of the 6th Bangal Nitfe Infantry was wouuded he was hit in the lower jaw He was an aide-do-camp and made so for his gallantry The TUll de force was engaged, and defeated the rebels taking all their guns making a total of 20 guns 1' tSty completely gained the day. Nolliwitbstariding this, on the 31st General Havelock returned to the bank of tbe river oj posite Cawnpore, where he sent to me for further requiring a battery, two 24 pounders, ond a thousand mora European inraBtry. 1 have just written to hiin that there is balf a battery coming on here to-day fiom Allahabad, which I send on at once to him. 1 can also send him two iron guns, but European infantry there is none to send him here. If he waits for that be must wait rnm r' and a long delay, during which time Lucknow may share tho im.y.uiiuuoicioj.rapore.

j.ne rebels. Hushed with victory, will return on this, re-occunv no troops to keep them out. 1 must be starved out. The influence, too, on Agra, may be most disastrous; but I hops General Havelock, who has been so successful, will now advance again and relieve Lucknow, which is to ba abandoned the force there brought in here, and by that time reinforce-mcets will have arrived, ready to accompany General Have- roc to Jigra ana xne turopeun troops all wear linen blouses and caps; our regiment (the Fusiliers) wear blue ones, which in the native liriguige is neel toppie3; and tbe neel toppies are pronounced the terror of all, with their Enfield rifles. Tney disperse cavalry beautifully.

Two hundred of the 2i Cavalry charged young Seton and 12 of our Fusiliers; they sent them flying with empty saddles. There is a report j'iBt brouubc me that a rsjih has saved some centlemen, lidies, and three children from the Cawn- massacre, that they arc 50 miles off, and that ha will 1 end them in to me. Ajix, oi-rrLUbiio Al CAWPOKiS. i Tbe following lettei hna been iJIif- the Ktujlishman Sir, 1 am desired by General Neill to request you will 1 have the goodness to miko it us public as possible that the property of the unfortunate people who lost their lives here 1 uas ueeu couecteu in one spot, aud that any which can be recognised will be handed over to the or put up to "mIS? f-r th8 benefit of deceased estates, and the rest sold. Ihe is a good deal of property belonging to the different mercantile firms here, ns well as to the heirs of deceased officers, to.

but when I mention that every house was gutted, and tbe property scattered over 60 or 70 square m.lei of country it will be apparent how impossible it was to take care of individual interests. I would recommend anyone connected with Cawnpore orcAl ll'SLl tb0 wh0 -n "ignite the property, and he should be Mined, with authority to receive atES, Cooper-street. Apply to A. JJcale, IT.
