The London correspondne tof the New
York Times says that tho englismen
; cow in London, who have resided iulndia,
iagree in the following opinion:
It is a Mohammedan conspiracy, not a
Brahmin one. The Brahmins were induc
ed by the Mohammedans to revolt; and
everybody who has lived in India is aware
that the re-establishment of the Moham
medan sovereignty throughout the penin
sula is the constant dream of every
son of Islam. Accordingly, we see
the mutineer* flocking to Delhi, the an
cient capital of the Mohammedan Moguls,
which is not a sacred town to the Hind ©os,,
and putting themselves under the com
mand of the titular King, a lineal descen
dant, of Tamerlane. Though the greased
cartridges were the feather which broke
the camel’s back, the annexation policy of
Lord Daihousie is certainly the real cause
of the outbreak.
