INDIA . The overland mail has arrived . The following is from the letter of the Bombay correspondent of the Times , dated June 23 : — " There is no military news of any importance from Oude or from the borders of jfapaul since Sir Hope Grant's defeat of the rebel force under Bala Itoo and the Nana in the
Jorwah Pass . That engagement lasted above two hours . The enemy fled into the Nepauleso lulls . It is reported that the greater portion of them are now encamped at the entrance of theGoorung l , which leads into the Daugh or Dewgurgh Valley , and that the chiefs , with . their families , have obtained permission frotn Jung BaUadoor to talco up their quarters for the present in the latter valloy .
•• The European portion of the old Company ' s troops still continues to manifest its dissatisfaction with the Act of Parliament which has transferred its services to the Crown without asking its assent . The 3 rd Madras Europeans have lately exhibited symptoms of disaffection at Jubbulporo . Tho 1 st Cavalry and 4 th Infantry nt Allahabad appear to have behaved very badly . There is little doubt that
tho Bombay Europeans share the feelings of their comrades in tho other presidencies on the re-enlistment question , but they hivvo displayed a tnuoli better spirit . The Court of Inquiry , which has been sitting at Moornt , is closed , and Colonel Green , the Advocato-Ocnoral , "who . Bivt in it as Judge-Advocate , has returned to Simla . Tho result of tlje cleliboyatlon Qf the Court \ n not yet known ,

by . Mr . Masterman , made an excellent speech after his own manner , in which , he intimated his warm adhesion to the project , and his full assurance of the compatibility of its success with that of the . Crystal Palace proper . Xater in the day , on his own health "being drunk with all imaginable honours , his lordship , —who seems as hearty as ever—made a second , and most entertaining speech on the divergent topics qf "Home , Sweet Home , "the " Doctrine of Resistance , " and " Limited iLoyalty . " On the latter heads , he is reported to have made the following interesting confession of faith . " God save the
King" is the old name , and he called it so just as he said kingdom , and hot queendom . ( Laughter . ) He had the most affectionate regard for our gracious Sovereign and the whole of her family . The chairman had alluded to the good qualities of the Prince of Wales , who was not yet sufficiently known , but who was as well brought up and as well educated as any young man in this country ; and it was a great honour to his illustrious parents that they had so well brought up their eldest son . ( Hear . ) But in that song there was a verse wjiich reminded him of the true Whig principle on which Our English constitution was founded—the doctrine of
resistance— May she defend our laws , And ever give us cause , To sing with heart and voice , God save ' the Queer . Her defending our laws , came before giving us cause to defend her , and was a traditional precedent . ( Cheers . ) That was the doctrine of our constitution , which was founded on the principle of resistance . We resisted arbitrary power—we resisted attacks upon our religion in James the Second ' s time , and threw out those who made those attacks on . bur liberties and faith . We expelled them and chose others in their room ; and therefore , he said , the doctrme of resistance was the" groundwork of the British constitution . That was to say , not a rash , constant resistance against authority , but a resistance whenever there was a just cause . " ' , These stout enthusiastic sentiments of the veteran were received with cheers . Then came some routine toasts ; and then , the business ' of'the day being over , a ballet divertissement al fresco . We hope soon to . report still further progress in . the right direction . For the present it is enough to congratulate the talented "designers , the intelligent projectors , and the many sympathisers on educational grounds , that their interesting scheme has survived the late financial storm to which it wisely bowed its head .

FRANCE . The Moniteur of this day ( Friday ) contains the following : — " The Emperor yesterday received the diplomatic corps . The Papal nuncio , speaking in the name of the diplomatic corps , offered the Emperor his earnest and sincere congratulations on his happy return and on his resolution to conclude peace . The Emperor , in reply , said : — ' Europe was hi general so unjust to me at the beginning of the war that I was happy to be enabled to conclude peace as soon as the honour and the interests of France were satisfied , arid to prove that it could never have been my intention to overturn Europe and to provoke a general war . I hope to-day that all reasons for disunion will disappear , and that the peace will be of long duration . I thank the diplomatic corps for their congratulations . ' "
