A letter from the Punjaub. dated the 221 inst. bas just arrived,from which is taken the following interest- ing extracts :— Lieutenant Hodson, of the Guide corps, reached this place (Unritsir) last night, en ruufe to join the commander-in-ebief's camp. an express havicg been forwarded to bim, im Brigadier General Wheeler's camp, to hasten overto army headquarters This offi- cer brings the melancholy tidings of Livutenant Peel's death, whieh occurred in this wauover : He was present with bis oorpr-the firet regiment of Sikh infantry, as second in commsnd—and was severely wounded in the fight with Kam Singh’s men, near Dullah.

THE REVIEW OF THE AFFAIRS. From the Bombay Tiaer.) Not since the destruction of the garrison of Cabool has so heavy a catalogue of blunders and misfortunes been carried home from Indi as that which the pre- sent mail conveys. We have. for the t time since 1842, to give the particulars of the enuthilation of half regiments from the cheer mirmauagement of the com- wanding cflicer; and the retiremunt of Briti from the presence of the enemy under circumstances when to have remained was to have been entirely an- Dihilated. Attock has at lemgth fallen into the hands ot theenemy. The fidelity of the Affghans had been tried too far. When they found a British army of 24 600 men-afrald, apparently, to move beyond its lines, while their own countrymen were approaching from the wertern capital. aud treason was gaining strength on every side, they threw open the gates, and admitted the zen of Cabool. The captors are said to plun- dered the town, and violated the women, and other. wise behaved themeclver disgracefully, Lieut. Herbert isa prisoner in the hands of Chuttur Singh. Captain Abbett alone now remains at large. Dost Mahomed continues on the banks of the Indus, watching the progress of events, At the date of our last, the army under the commander in-ocbief had for « fortnight been inactive; would they bad remaioed so, rather then bave gone out to battle under one who never tekes the fieid but miechance or needless carnage at- tends his banner! The whole force, amounting to tween 20,600 and 24,000 men with from 100 to 150 guns, had clored up, and lay encamped midway betwixt the Chenaub and the Jhelum, about eighteen miles from the camp of the enemy, who had entreached them- selves on the highrr bank of the latter river, with out- works om the further eide to protect the rear, and evable them, if necessary, to change their position in safety. It had all along been given out that no opera- tion ‘of magnitude would be attempted until tidings were received of the capture of Moultan. though i¢ was generally understood that so soon as Mooiraj was disposed cf, Shere Singh weuld be attacked.

Preporations tor an advance having been mado on the 11th, on the }2th the troops marched out about reven in the merping from their old camp at Lursoorie, and reached a place called Dinghee, in the direction of | the Jhelum, about two o’olock in the afternoon.

Thus ter-ni- pated the disastrous day at Mojuawalis, which, under the name of victory, filled more bearts with shawe and grief than apy day since the destruction of the garri- son of Cebool in the Tezeen Pass in January, 1842, The Sikhs were now able to oarry out all their plans, while in every one of ours we were foiled.
