Munipur.
The Senapati who was captured by Colonel Maxwell turns out to be the brother of the Comniander-in-Chiefofthe Munipuris. The Com-mander-in-Chief himself is still at large. . . ' Some doubts are expressed as to whether the Miranzaia look upon the recent victories of the British as a conquest, and the authorities have decided not to remove the troops from that district in the meantime. The man who speared Mr Grimwood has confessed and been sen.tenced to death. The trials of the Munipur princes have begun. The public executioner at Munipur states that he received his orders for the killing of Messrs Quinton, Grimwood, and others from the Senapati. The prisoners were placed in a standing position with chains on their legs, and their hands' tied behind their backs ; and while in that helpless position their heads were severed from their bodies with a Burmese knife. . .
