[From the Englishman, March 24.]

A letter from Camp Guzerat, dated the lOih iDstant, says — "Major Lawrence, Lts.Bowie, Herbert, and indeed all the party are liberated, and are now amongst their own countrymen with Gilbert. I do not know any particulars of the Singh's surrender, whether with or without conditions ; but I believe with none, except that their lives were guaranteed. This is a satisfactory effect of our fight of the 21st, causing, as it does, the total dispersion of the enemy, with the giving up of their arms and munitions of war. Let us hope that the war is now at an end, as far as the Sikhs are concerned. Gilbert will probably find but little resistance at Peshawur from the Affghans, and the chances are now that Shere Singh has come in, th»t

we shall get possession of whatever boats they would have destroyed after having crossed. "The passage of the Indus may therefore be much facilitated. I have heard that all the guns which fell into our hamls before Singh's surrender — namely, at Mooltan, Umritstia, Chillianwalla, and Guzerat, amount to about 170 or 180, so that with the additional prize, we shall not have taken in all much less than 200 pieces. Not so bad an amount of artillery to have put hors de combat in one campaign. Ido not believe that a great many of the guns have been cast for the campaign, so it may he hoped that we have got nearly to the bottom of their resources o£ artillery, and that in any future disturbances they will not have any very formidable artillery to bring against us. We are all on the tiptoe of expectation to know what is to be done with the country.
