INDIA.

The most important intelligence from India is that the meditated rising of the 62nd and 69th disarmed Native Infantry Regiments, having been efficiently crushed at Mooltan, the Mutineers, 1700 in number, were compelled to flee ; a rapid pursuit was at once organised ; and the result was attended with great success. Numbers of the mutineers were killed in the flight, and others were brought back prisoners and summarily disposed of. Of the actual number only 350 remained to be accounted for.
