For the tnncnittion of the following inteHigtnce we are Indebted to the patriotic jJ of the French Government, which, in emulation of Mr. Waghorn't tncceatful trip riJ Trieste, hu made the mott extraordinary effort to pro re that their line of com monication, hy way of MancUlct and Pari. the ahorteat and beat route to and from India.

For thU pnrpoae a itcanvthip of the French nary wu rpecially appointed to wait the arriral cf the Indian mail at Alexandria, every meani which could pre Tent delay were em ployed, and to toon aa the deepatchethad been put on board, the tteamer cart off her raooringa and steered a course direct for Marseilles. The iteam ahip destined by the Admiralty for this serrice had to wait the arrival of the passenger, and to ship the cumbrous iron boxes in which the Indian mails arc conveyed. She then sailed, not direct for Marseilles, but for and being, as are all the English steamers employed on the Mediterranean packet Krvice, of inferior power and a dull sailer, she, as usual, made a long passage. At Malta she would probably be detained at least 24 hours, and would then proceed leisurely on her course for Marseilles. Her swift and unencumbered competitor', in the mean time, steering directly for Marseilles, reached that port probably not much after the Knglith vessel found herself in Malta harbour'; and every preparation having been made I beforehand, the despatches she brought were in stantly fumigated by the quarantine authorities, and delivered to the agents for whom they were addressed.

Thus far we are indebted for this early' intelligence to the French Government. At Marseilles the work of the Morning Herald began. We have said that the enterprise was originally undertaken solely with the view of eclipsing, if possible, the feat of Mr. VTaghom. We have this upon the word of M.

Guizot himself. AVe were among those who rejoiced in the success of Mr. Waghorn's attempt. We were glad that a competing line" was brought into operation we were glad that our communication with the most important colony of the British empire was not to bo left entirely at the mercy of so fickle an ally as France, or so squeezable" a Minister as M. Guizot; and we expressed, in common with, we believe, every other journal except the Morning HtraUl and the StakJail, our satisfaction that another route was opened.

To punish us for the expression of this honest Knglish feeling M. Guizot, a few days since, informed our correspondent in Paris, that he was determined to exclude from any participation in the result of his experiment, not only The Timet, but every other journal tint had ventured to applaud Mr. Waghorn. Could we have a more pregnant proof that England should not rely upon France alone as her line of communication with the East! For the first time, therefore, since October, 11UO, we have been anticipated in the publication of intelligence from India. We are more proud, however, of our defeat than of our most remarkable success.

We have spared no expense and no'exertion, but we would not barter r.nciisn interests lor intelligence we would not purchase M. Guizot's favour by slavish adulation; and if success can only be won at such a price, we are well content to copy, as we now do, our Indian intelligence from the Morning Herald.

The flame ef rtbellion seemed also about to be kindled in the neighbourhood Jetrowta, It was sJEmed, toe, that Rajah GhdabEngli had sent eff hie family and a (opd deal of Us treatort tothe various forts beyond Jamoo sad that he bad himself proceeded in the same a view ef inspecting hit strong, hold.

On Us CSth ef October, the Maharajah sad ths Ranee, with their suite, took their depart are for TJmriUir, attended by Sirdar Tej Singh, Rajah Lall Singh, and other principal officers cf the state, and accompanied with a strong military eecort. On the following day a purwannah, er Royal mi. tire, was despatched to OhoUb Singh, demanding payment ef the "eesafa" for some territory near Wuxeenbad, and threatening the resumption of the land if the requisition were not at once complied with. Several sepoys, who had been discharged by the Rajah a untrustworthy, arrirej on the 31st at Lahore. The Ranee had do sooner reached CmriUir than an attempt was made to dispose finally of the vacant office of tiller, and this was done, of all ways in the world, by lot! The name of Lall Singh wu drawn, at a natter of coarse, the Ranee hating taken especial care that matters should not be managed fairly.

Owing, hewrrer, to some representations mad by Tej Singh, the khelut, or symbol of intesti ture, was not Immediately conferred npon him, and ths intelligence his selection, on reaching Lahore, occasioned great excitement among the troop there, who, as usual, talked very loudly ef golden. bracelets and gratuities. The Sikhs at L'mriUir were alto averse to hit appointment, chicfiy on the score of hit intimate connexion with her Highness. The Ranee, during her stay, visited Oorindghur, and, naturally enoujh, wished to obtain tome of the treasures secured there, in which, howeter, she wet opposed by the officers and men in charge, who said there was an order by Runjeet 'ingh, prohibiting the remotal of money from the fort, except in case cf necessity, such at war against a public enemy." Her Highness eventually obtained ten lacks, which were expended in completing the payment of the troops. The Court left Umrittir on the 4 th, and arrirej on the next day at the Skalecmar Gardens.

Xewa awaited the Ranee of a victory at Jetrowta, of which place the staU troops had succeeded in gaining possession. On the Cth a polite communication was receited from Cbolab Singh, assuring the1 Sirkar that his anxiety to nuke it worthy cf acceptance wu the sole cause of his not hating as yet sent his Dusserah numraxa, and that he would not delay the same much longer." Iewan Jloelraj, the Xaxim of col tan, another de faulter, not hating been shrewd enough to ferwtrd a similar courtly apology, wu ordered to be threatened with unpleasant measures if he did not at once send in his present to the durbar. Rajah Lall Singh now entered on the performance of the duties of Viiier, under the immediate sanction of the Rsnee, but without possessing ths confidence of the troops or their leaders. The astrologers hating recommended the Ranee to postpone her return to the city until the end of the of (From the OmlaJ BomJUf Tunes of Dec. 1,135 Intelligence of a warlike character wu received yesterday from the 1'unjauK The Sikh Government, it apars, hate become incensed at the reported intention of the British authorities to appropriate the territories on this tide of the rrutlej, and have urged the soldiery to march towards the riter, with the view of repelling the expected aggression.

Ily the but accounts some cavalry haj actually procee ied in the direction indicated, and though opinion was ditUeJ as to the policy of the movement, more men were expected to follow. In the meantime strong measures defence lava been adopted at Ferozepore; and at Sir Henry Hardinge may now calculate upon having a well uisdplined force of some 0,000 men st his command, there can be little fear of the result, whatever course the reckless spirit of the Sikhs; may impel them to pursue. Gholab Singh remains at Jamoo the Ranee continues to conduct the affairs of state and the army hu been separated into three. divisions, and placed under the resctire commands of Sirdar Tej Singh (the ex Goternor of rethawur), Rajah Lall Singh, an 1 Sir Jar Jevrun Singh. Lall Singh is still unpopular.

Several deserters from our army have been taken into the Sikh service. Our newt from Scinde it of a favourable complexion, the troops continuing healthy, and the country tranquil.

An official investigation into the circumstances is still, it woul appear, going on. The kingdom of Oude and the Jominions of the Nizam seem to be still vicing with each other in the extent of their internal mis nunarement, and the degree of oppression to which their inha bitan'j are subjected. The Nizam continues to struggle with pecuniary difficulties, which not even the practice of unparalleled extortions can overcome.

We regret t4an tf 'ixxt tie total Iota of the Parse steamer by a eolli ion wti. tbe Sir James Carnac on the night of Saturday, the tf Ncvembcr, but fortunately without lost of life. The Carnac was on her way from Bombay to Tankaria Dander, and tta Parse was returning the same mute, with a cargo cf in wards of SCO chests of opium and a Urge number of alwt A degrees' north latitude, and 10 or 12 miles from the I 01 nnlm mmn uis there.

The news from the north west, which extends to toe llth ulu from Lahore, and to the Uth from Peroxeporev is of very serious consequence, the probability of a rupture be tween the British and Sikh forces being now stronger than hu ever appeared since the departure of the Governor General from Calcutta.

Indeed, unless of the turbulent troops in the Punjaub shouIdNoozeout at their fingers' ends on the prospect of hostilities, it is impossible not to anticipate, before long, the commencement of a Labor campsiga." Ws have no spare for a detailed narrative of ths events hich have taken place in the country of the Five Rivers since the date of the tidings sent home by the last mail. The subjoined succinct account, however, will doubtless prove interesting to the English reader Tbe last intelligence from Lahore reuhed to the Sxb of October. Resuming lb thread of the story at this date, find Rajah Lall Singh, ths paramour of the Ranee, Intrigu Ing against Sirdar Jewun Singh, ths favourite of ths lit brother, ths murdered vizier, and prevailing on her Highness, on the plea of fraud, to suspend bint from his office, and impose on him a fin of a be of rupees at tachment cf ths troops to the Sirdar, who had treated them with kmdnest and consideration, prevented ths execution of the maniaU for Us suspension. With respect to tbt he appears, Sikh like, to bars at first thought of paying it out of the public treasury, but on this design betas; frottraUd he handed ever a fourth of ths amount, osmsiwUd an crimination ef Us atcoonta. de claring that he wu innocent of the offssot imputed month of Kaiiict, the Court still remained at tho gardens Shaleemar.

A durbar, wts held her on the 7th, when It wu mad known that intelligence bad been received. speaking positively of the intention of the British author! ties to take possession of all the Sikh territory belonging the Sirkar on their side of the river whereupon a Jeputa tion from the troops wu directed to be summoned, in order consult with the officcn of state at to the measures proper be pursued. The deputation attended tbe durbar the next day, when a three houn' conference took place. The Sirkar," says the correspondent of the ItlAi tltattc. presented to tbem that, in consequence of the varied nature of the intelligence received from the other side of the Sutlej, from which it appeared that the British were inclined break the solemn treaty by which they had bound themselves to the Sikhs, ii! was necessary that the whole of the troops should be prepared for any emergency.

To effect this wu absolutely nee senary that responsible chiefs should nominated by the Sirkar to the com man 1 of the troops, an recommended that the following should be appointed Commanders in Chief, tix. Sirdar Tej Singh, Sirdar Jewun Singh Tothekhaneea, and Rajah Lall Singh. Tbe second wu declared Lord Jungee booed," or junior Com mander in Chief, to whom were allotted 12 bettallions, with directions to proceed towards Peshawur, and. take military charge of that district. Sirdar Tej Singh received the title Lord Jungee senior Commander in Chief, under whom were placed all the Aeen troop, with the comman Kussoor and Phuiuor, while Rajah Lall Singh was declared Lord Moolke with charge of the cavalry, and the income and expenditure of the army.

The Ranee undertook to discharge the office of Wuscer herself, and to govern the country in the' name of the Maharajah. Tbe aspect affairs now grew sullenly warlike. Some deserters frJm the British camp were taken into service on good pay, and son Zumeendan from the north bank of the Hutlej, who offered to undertake a foray into the British territories, receiteJ from Dcwan Deena Kath an airurar.ee that their proposal would be laid before the Government. On ths 1th the cavalry were informed that Lall Singh had been appointed the: commander, and this, it is said, pleased sime ct them, but wu a source of dissatisfaction to a considerable majority, Information arrived that Gholab Singh had returned to Ja moo, and that, owing to a reduction of the pay of his troops, great numbers of them had quitted his service. This wu deemed a favourable opportunity for the exercise of a little Royal authority, and a Purwannah was accordingly issued directing tbe Rajah to repair forthwith to Lahore.

It wu not supposed, however, that this order would be obeyed. The prospect of hostilities at first greatly elated the troops, and they stated that" if only permitted to cross the river, they required no pay or gratuity from the Sirkar." Tbe impression that war wu about to take place became at this time so general, that people actually began to remove their property to safe places for fear olj loss! The subjoined the arrangements said to bare been agreed npon in eon. sequence of the reported adrance of more British troops to the banks of the Sutlej "12 Uttalions of infantry, sis regiments of cavalry, and four battalions of artillery, to proceed to Kussoor. Six corps of infantry, three of cavalry, and two of artillery, to encamp at Phuloor. Further, that four battalions of in.

fantry, two Zumboorkhanas, and 5,000 regular troop should proceed to Hurrs ke Goozer. This would leave four corps of infantry and two of cavalry available for service towards rethawur. Tbe four battalions of infantry with cavalry, at Jetrowta, have been directai to hold themselves in readiness to march to a place opposite Rooper at ston ss they should receive an order to that effect. The Sirkar has. also issued orders to the troops to the following effect First, that they are to kee? themselves ready to march aeoondly, that no demur of any kind Is to be made I when the order should be given aad thirdly, that the I whole, when one march from tbe capital, were to obey the iuitructions of sirdar Tej Singh, who would be appointed CommLldcrinChief.

On the 10th tome rumeendart from the south tide of the Sutlej mide their tppeiraacs at tbe durbar, and offered to do their best to invite the people to orpose the British." The Ranee it said to have replied tint "for the present it would be better to keep quiet, but soon their services might be required their promise would Le remembered." On the 'next day, the battalions of Mewa Singh, and Coolab Singh (not the Jamoo chief): with the Dhera Court Sahib, were selected for the march to Kussoor and considerable excitement appears to have prevailed atnnugst the troops, some of them saying that it soon as the order wat issued they would proceed with such celerity to dine in Lahore, and drink the customary draught of water after the meal on the other side of the Sutlej. The order for the return of the Jamoo Rajah to the capital wu now and he wu told that there was now no immediate necessity for hit coming to Lahore, and that it would be more expedient for him to re main In the hills and keep the people there in order." On the 12th furtlrer accounts arrived of the mutinous condact of ths troops marching towards Peshawur, who, it appears, had expelled several of their officers, and killed another of the number. Ths Rajah of Pattulah, one of ths pro tected" States, sent to sty thst hs was being greatly an. noyed" by the British authorities, and that troops ought to be sent to his assistance I it wu he who had de spatched ths last batch of rameendars, and" it wu certain that ths moment tbt Sirktres troops crossed, ths whole country would rite against the British." It does not appear what notics wu taken of this commualoation. Some troops were to nave marched on the llth, bat, owing to an telipss of ths moon, and ths tpproaching close of the month of Ktrtick, th morsment wu postponed.

A little vaccination and wavering, too, began nowte be peroaptible. A report raised drsulatioo that tUerdrtosrchwuamrs rue. to rt rid ef ths troops vhil Rajah Lsll Sngh sbomld be rnhlicly deckrsd VWerj sad it was resrivedthat, shooM i thisb the east, 'Mhey wotdd twvttttelets insist on laving the golden bracelets." Tfemwrtalaty tftheeeddicry to the arraagements actually in contemplation appears to bar been somewhat further iaertajed by an attempt toad by ths Srkar bnt which falled to get the Khaa troops removed from Labors to Peshawur. Notwithstanding sH this, an actual mortmtnt took place on thtltth, th direction cf ths ritsr, on the part of. sons cavalry who wer formerly under the command of the lit Rajah Heera Singh.

Ws subjoin the account grrea in the the proceedings on that day Not. 14. Ths battalions cf Khan Singh, Man, cf Gholab Singh, Protindeea, of the Dhera Masran, Tilts, and of the Dhera Bah were ordered to send out their standards this day to th encamping ground. The first and but only obeyed, and prepared themselves in every respect for a start. Similar orders were issued to a Urge body of irregular cavalry, with assurances that they should receive their pay the moment they reached the Sutlej.

At soon they had been paid they were to cross th river into the territory ef the Sirkar Khaltajee, and there await further orders. These preparations Mad many people to believe that the war is actually impending, whilst others maintain that the real object is to get the army from Lahore, and then make certain contemplated arrange menU. In the afternoon, th cavalry of the late Rajah neerah Singh marched from th capital In the direction of the river. The ten troops have further resolved that, although troops wsr assembling in large numbers on the other iid ef th Sutlej, yet there wis no pretext Tor fighting and that, if any necessity arose, they could easily reach Feroxepore In on It will thus be seen that the troops are divided in opinion to the necessity of an immediate march against the British forces; and we think, judging from the want of. unanimity, that no very formidable act of tggreeaion is likely to occur." The British authorities appear to have acted with much caution and vigilance.

Owing to the threatening aspect of affairs, the 63d Bengal Native Infantry were ordered to halt until further ordere. Four companies from Other Bengal native infantry regiments, two squadrons of the 8th Irregular Cavalry, and two guns from the European Foot Artillery, were sent from Fcroiepor in order to meet and protect convoys which wers expected to arrive in charge of 20 lacs of rupees. Orders were issued to fill the Horse Artillery ammunition waggons, and to serve pouch and spare serticjt ammunition at the shortest possible notice. 1,500 bearers were expected at Feroxepore daily. The 33J, with a company of sappers cad miners, on their arrival, were to be stationed at the ghaut, on the Sutlej, for the protection of the bridge of boats.

We may here mention that there are now nearly 22,000 troop (exclusive of the police battalion), beside 10 Horse Artillery batteries, and nine light field batteries, on their way to the north west frontier, a force fully adequate to any object which Sir Henry Hardinge may have In view. The Governor General Delhi left on the ICt'a ult. The Viceregal camp," says the Dtlii Gtiutlf," ill be at Kurnaul on tbe 20th, and Umballah on the 2d of December, and un less any detection should be occasioned by the Governor General and the Commander in Chief, the camp will be at Feroxepore on the 20th of December. The Commander in Chief arrived at UmbaUah wu there on the 21 it to see the troops on brigade exercise, and resumed his march towards Kurnaul on tie 22J. The meeting of the Governor GeneralGeneral and Commander in Chief wu to take place on the 2Cth." SCINDE.

The intelligence from this province It exsparatively scanty, and discloses few peints of interest to the home reader. It would seem that Islam Khan, a Boogtie chief, who escaped to the northward on the discomfiture of Bejsr Khan and his associates, bu at length consented te surrender himself to Captain Tabor at Tho day apKMnted for this purpose wu the SJth ult. but althcujh be had sent his teal to this officer a pledge of his sincerity, it' was doubted by some whether he really intended to come in. Good accounts are given of tbe health of the troops at Sukkur aad Shirkapore. A north west contemporary in timates that General Hunter wu expected at the lit.

ter place on the 10th ultimo, and that it wu sap posed, from this movement, that the General would remain an additional year ia Scinde. Kurrachee, by the but ac counts, continued perfectly healthy, and the European dent sens were looking forward with pleasure to ths setting in the cold wctther. Th station is a good deal enlivened amateur theatricals, aad the "Scinde Association," the rules of which have just been published, bids fair to become an object of interest, both to the casual visitor and the per manent resident at the seat of Government. This actively supported, will doubtless furnish the means of eluci. dating much that remains obecur in the nature history and antiquities of Scinde and Beloochistan.

The 2d Cavalry return very shortly to the Presidency. The Meanee medals were distributed to the Sth Native Infantry at a general parade on the 20th, and the regiment left the following day for Sunt, rn route for Ahmedabad, the subjoined compli mentary order being issued by Sir C.

NAPIER, Uajor Some discussion hu taktn place in military circles, owing to the slight put on the 23th Regiment of Native Infantry by tbe Government of Bombay, In receiving them on their return, a short time since, from service in Scinde, without any mark of honour or distinction, such as those which were paid to Her Majesty's regiments on binding at Bombay under similar circumstances. The coarse pursued by Go vernment is invidious. Ths departure of the Sth from Kurrachee leaves the station with only two regiments of tbe line, and these, it is supposed, will be heavily worked.

The men of the Belooch'batallion," a Scindian levy, form a few of the petty guards. A wing of the 2d Bengal European Regiment were under orders to return to Sukkur on ths 25th marching to Kotree, whence they would be conveyed to their destination by the river steamers. Ths detachment of native infantry stationed at Jerruck hu been withdrawn the duties of the post are for tbe future to be performed by the Scinde baggage corps. Lieutenant Hamilton, commissioner wltn tne uelooca tnbes on the frontier, hu obtained sick leave to Kurrachee, his duties in the meantime devolving on the officer commanding the outpost of Khangur. Lieutenant Mac la gin, of the Bengal Engineers, hu been ordered to take charge of the executive Engineer's department at Kurrachee.

Lieutenant Harding, of Her Majesty's 22d Foot, hat bfta appointed Assistant Judge Advocate; 1st Campbell, of U0 Bengal Engineers, to be Assistant Superinteadentof Canals and Forests; Mr. Williams, of the Indus flotilla, to bean Assistant Surveyor. AsWftant Surgeon Ward hu been placed in permanent medical charge of th Scinde Belooch corps. Committees bars been assembled at Kurrachee and Hyderabad for the purpose, of reporting on the number of tents in store at these stations.

The medical superintendence of the Bengal troops serving in Upper Scinde and the medical depot of Sukkur have been trans ferred from the superintending surgeon of the Sirhind divi sion of the Bengal army to the "superintending surgeon of the Bombay establishment in Scinde. The following very high compliment bat been paiJ by Sir C.

The "bridge tf 100 arches," redacd by actual observation to one of 43 arches, if so ona might style openings formed by slabs of rongh hews stone placed athwart massive piles or trnttTesses, connects the two city suburbs, lying on each side of the river Mis, with an island in the centre, which divides the stream.

The city itself lies S3 miles from the month of the river, in a valley on its right bank. The scenery of the from its miv to Fop chow has been compared by Mr. GrrUlaff, himself a German, to that of the Rhine, with which, indeed, it has some features of rescmblanc. The banks are generally steep and abrnpr, and though upon the whole rather bar, in many places villages are seen naif embosomed in trees, ami thr land above and around is terraced even to the. snramits of the hills, and under careful cultivation.
