Arrival of the Overland Mail News in Calcutta July advices
The Overland Mail brings notices from Calcutta up to July 2 and Nadras a week later with little new intelligence. Terrible cholera ravages the Passaub region among Sikhs forcing townspeople to abandon them and seek open country. Daily deaths in Lahore and nearby areas run five to seven hundred, with twenty to thirty thousand reported as victims. British territory remains tranquil. The disease may curb Sikh power, potentially promoting peace in India under Sir Henry Hardinge, who pursues quiet governance rather than pomp. Lord Ellenborough favored theatrical rule. Hardinge prefers restrained action and silent, historic impact.
