The Overland Mail from India arrived on the Gilt, bringing advices from Bombay to Hie 3d of February, about a month later than before received. The substance of the news is contained in the annexed ex tracts:— London, March G.—The intelligence front the seal of war in the Fast is far from satisfactory. Without giving credit to ev ery rumor afloat in India, we must still confess that each successive mail only in creases our anxiety, bringing as il docs fresh proofs of the extraordinary want of wisdom which tins characterised all the proceedings of our Indian Government. The result of the battles fought on the 18th, the 21st nnd 22d of December is of a purely negative character. The Sikhs were effectually prevented by the bravery of Hio Britisli iroops from advancing upon the territories of the protected States, or from opening a campaign in' British Indio. They .were repulsed with loss; but they were bv no means routed. Sir Henry Hurdinge and Sir Hugh Gough were totally unprovided- with the means of following up the success they had gained by driving the enemy nt the point of the bavouet from his entrenched camp. They had, on the contrary, to «usiamlfrej> attacks in the position they had so bravely won j and when these were repulsed, tlie enemy retired without confusion, since he was enabled lo rally and encamp his for ces between Hie field of batUe and the river.

Such it Sir Robert Wilson’s description of the comforts of Egypt. Again, at page 67 of his work, we find the following ac count, which is in' nowise exaggerated: ‘All language is insufficient to give a just idea of (lie misery of an Egyptian village; but those who have been in Ireland may but suppose the degree, when an Irish hut is described as a palace in comparison to an Arab’s stye—for it can be called by no other name.’ We leern verbally from Captain Gattnncl, of the ship John Cadmus, wlticli arrived yrsierdny from Montevideo via Pernambu co, having left the funner place on the 25th of Jnnuarv, that Lucnns Avrcs was still lilockndrii by the English and Ftencii fleets.
