T. T. PEARS, Major-General, Military Secretary. l am . ;FOREIGN •NOTES. Tt3EZT AND GIIZEOE. vas announced by telegraph that a proclamation creek Government, " containing offensivelexpressions Turkey,", had been addressed to the Hellenic people. From a'portion of the text of thaedocument it appears that 'Greece has, indeed, given in, but with the worst ponsible grace. It affirms that the insurrection in Cretehanbeen stifled by Turkey under cover of the negotiationgprovoked by the ultimatum. Consequently, the refusal to adhere to the declaration of the Conference would involve Greece in a war for which neither the army nor the navy is ready. • " Hence acquiescence on our part is necessary for the time, but it in no way binds the future of Greece." This proclamation, then, not onlz recognises the Cretan insurrection as b e i ng f os t ere d at Athens, but clearly states that but for the Turkish victory in the island Greece would not have yielded. It is an angry protest; but, on the other hand, the despatch of M. de Lavalette, which Count Walewski took to Athens, was also a brusque affair, not at all calculated to appease Greek vanity. It plainly told the Athens Government that if it did not answer the Conference within the term fixed its silence would be held as a refusal. Altogether M. de Lavalette's writing contains more of tbefortiter in re than the enariter in mode. Prince Gortschakoff has stood the friend of Greece throughout. Not only did he address the circular to the Russian agents abroad, throwing the blame of the difficulty on Turkey, but he urged the Government at Athens to accept the declaration, hinting as his reason that Russia could not lend any assistance. Turkey is about to reply to the circular by a counter manifesto. The New Free Press of Vienna states that all the Powers represented at the Conference have been informed by the Zaimas Cabinet that the declaration is accepted. The reply which Count Walewski brings back expresses the regret of the Greek Government that Rangabd refused to take his seat at the Conference. OTHER DIFFICULTIES IN THE EAST. But the hydra-headed Eastern question is not yet done with. No sooner has Greece been put down than other States spring up in its place. The announcement that the Republican party in Roumania is preparing to overthrow the present Ministry by force is strengthened by further intelligence in the Paris journals. These state that It con spiracy against the life of Prince Charles has been divulged through the treachery of one of the conspi rators. Further, Russia and Prussia are about to press the Porte to give up the seaport of Spitza to Montenegro, and thus enable that State to com municate with the sea, from which it is at present shut out by Ottoman territory. This, it appears, is the object of the Prince of Montenegro's journey to St. Petersburg; but it is hardly likely that the Porte will make such a concession at the present time.

The death of Fuad Pasha is a calamity to Turkey and a misfortune to Europe. He was one of the few Turkish statesmen who read the signs of the times, and who, while thoroughly Mussulman in policy and convictions, persevered in a course of gradual reform as the only means of effectually preserving his country from its numerous enemies. He was a thorough diplomatist combining great resolution with a refinement which verged upon dandyism. Fuad Pasha was born in 1814, entered diplomatic life in 1843, was made a pasha in 1855, next year became Minister of Foreign Affairs, and in 1861 was appointed Grand Vizier. From the spring of 1857 he was Foreign Minister, but was compelled to take indefinite leave of absence through ill-health. ITALY. The exploration of Herculan(um, one of the cities buried in the great eruption of Vesuvius in A.D 79, is to be resumed, thanks to a grant of money from King Victok Emmanuel. The researches in the tomb of this city. have been interrupted for above twenty years, partly owing to the fact that it is buried much more deeply than Pompeii. LUXEMBUBG. The London Conference of 1867 decreed that the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg should belong neither to France nor Prussia, but declined to guarantee its decision. It omitted another important particular. It did not provide for the demolition of the fortifications, which undertaking is left to the inhabitants, who devote the sum of thirty shillings a week to that purpose. When, at this rate, will the demolition be completed ? INDIA. The great battle in Affgbanistan has been decisive—so far as a conflict between Asiatic princes can be. Abdul Rahman fled without any attendants, and a letter from a high native authority says he has been taken prisoner. If so, his days are numbered. Lord Mayo, says the Times correspondent, has been met at the outset by the Russian question, though whether those events in Affghanistan will produce any change in our policy of "masterly inactivity" remains to be seen. We already subsidise Shere Ali ;it now remains for consideration whether we are to enter into more intimate relations with him. The entire Asiatic question centres in Affgbanistan. The country is worthless except for military purposes ; but it commands the passes into the Punjab, and although England could not profit by the possession of Affghanistan, it would be wrong to remit Russia to have it. The Times, which counsels a policy of friendship with Russia, agrees that the occupation of Affghanistan by our rival could not be tolerated. tielMba 017 , artP hives some d e tail s o f th e l a t e b a ttl e . The army ot Abdul Rahman numuereu o,uuu and 18,000 ; Shere Ali brought into the field 25,000 men, with thirty or forty guns. The engagement commenced in the morning and lasted till noon, when Abdul Rahman Khan was totally defeated, and retreated to a place set down as Sooltan Mahmoocl. Here his dispirited army encamped for the night. The army of the Ameer, however, pressed on, and Abdul Rahman and his uncle fled during the night, without even informing their men of their intention. The camp, deserted by its leaders, was attacked next morning by Shere Ali's troops, and most of those who escaped joined the forces of the victors. War in Affghanistan is not conspicuous for its amenities. Numbers of soldiers belorging to the defeated army were blown from gun=. Another skirmish on the frontier has taken place. This time the difficulty, as in the last, is near Burmab, and so far it has occupied only a body of armed police. The last little war was in an entirely different quarter. The Indian Government has taken such vigorous measures to repress the barbarous practice of suttee, that an instance now seldom occurs. But fOIIIC time ago a Brahmin widow, sixty years of age, burned herself on the bier of her husband. The local authorities made an example of the chief actors in this affair by awarding seven years' rigorous imprisonment to each of them. AMERICA. Another deplorable steamboat accident has occurred on the Red River, Arkansas. The Nellie Stevens was burnt on Thursday night, and 63 lives were lost. The New York Times has a very temperate article on the Alabama treaty. It says that its rejection will not be influenced by any special hostility to England, for nobody in America is so foolish as to desire the arbitration of the sword. It therefore urges that if the Convention be rejected, the American Government ought to be prepared with an amendment, and not refuse a settlement for the mere purpose of keeping the question open. CUBA AND IIAYTI. The state of affairs in both the great West India isrands is by no means favourable to the preservation of the status quo. From Cuba General Dulce announces that he is gaining ground, but private advices tell a different tale. When the insurrection first broke out it did not number 200 men of all classes, but it spread like a prairie fire ; numbers of slaves have naturally joined the movement, and the insurgents aro still masters of the greater part of the island. They retreat systematically when attacked, and are now committing outrages. It is agreed that the Spaniards must win back the island soon, or it will be lost. A war at such a distance cannot long be kept up. From Hayti comes the intelligence that the inhabitants of the whole island express unmistakeably their desire to be annexed to the United States, and it is shrewdly suspected that a Legislature which sanctioned the payment of seven millions of dollars in gold for such a wilderness as Alaska will not object to a much more advantageous bargain. - The Virginia Enterprise, Dec. 17th, says : —Th e rush to White Wells, l'ine F f a r r o g m o, t a h n is d e c ity o. a a n r d e vnicoiwnitystil con tinues. send ing out from their office in this city ei g ht passen gers every other day, this being the greatest num ber they can venture to forward from this place, on account of the many \\lute Pine and over land travellers passing east from California.

As long as the present fair and mild weather con tinues the rush to the new mines will last. Dec. 19.-- The Imperial-Empire shaft has cut into the clay of the east wall on the Comstock. They did not expect so soon to strike the wall, but it seems that the (lip is less than was estimated.
