THE INDIA SUN, AND FULL ACCOUNT OF AFFGHANISTAN j - 44 / - - i s s; s. • , w • :e wwg. int- -> UM LONDON! THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 5, 1842, All circumstances considered, the news from India and China is decidedly favourable. Sir HENRY POTTINGER is prosecuting the war in China in a right proper, commercial spirit. He wars against the Government, but spares the people. He does not confound the civilians with the army, or fall into the error, that by ruining poor traders in rice and rhu barb, along the coast of the Celestial Empire, he will he able to bring the haughty Tartar, who sits behind the yellow curtain in the imperial palace of Pekin, to speedier terms. His account of the capture and tem porary occupation of three cities, in the vicinity of Ningpo, will be found in another part of The Sun. We observe, with pleasure, that he dwells chiefly upon the moral influence which their occupation will give him. He found in one of the cities an immense store of rice, but, instead of wantonly destroying it, he caused it to be distributed among the poor Chinese. He has thereby convinced these poor people that the English are not their enemies, and have no quarrel whatever with them. Other accounts say that he put a stop to the seizure of the salt and rice junks along the coast, in consequence of which the trade in opium was more flourishing than ever: An expedition against Pekin was to be undertaken, whenever the season would permit. The Plenipotentiary had re turned to Hong Kong on the Ist of February, to prepare the force intended to visit the EMPERoR in his capital. He could not have adopted a wiser or better course. With a few hundred blue-jackets to act as referees Sir HENItY and the EmpEßottwill not be long settling the point of etiquette included in the ceremony of the Ken Tou. We are very sure that the EMPEROIL will prefer waiving the long-disputed point to witnessing the British fashion of hard knocking. Things appear to be no worse in Affghanistan, and this, considering the previous state of our affairs, is consolatory. • True there was a report of the destruc tion of 1,000 British troops in the Bolan Pass, and the refusal of two of the Bengal Native Regiments to attempt the Kyber Pass under the command of General POLLOCK, but we cannot trace them to any trnstwoithy authority. Some money had been re mitted to General SALE at Jellalabad, which enabled him to •purchase forage, of which his gallant soldiers were in great need. We subjoin a few extracts from the India papers relative to Affghanistan : The Calcutta Englishman says---" Our troops continue t) assemble at. Peshawar, preparatory to the movement t evards Affghanistan that may be directed, as soon as the season admits of operation ; and letters sometimes reach India, giving intimation of the existence (in du rance) of some of the officers and men who escaped the general massacre at Jugdullock ;, but beyond these al leged facts, we hear nothing on which the smallest de pendence can be placed. We have had more excitement than usual in the heart of India, during the last four weeks. There has been a mutiny in some of the Madras reg ments, which, however, was promptly put down. And the new Governor-General, Lord El lea borough, has arrived and taken upon himself the duties of his office, giving promise, by his activity and close personal inquiry, of a vigorous administration. It is believed that lie will carry out the measures deemed necessary by his predecessor, in relation to Afighanistan. At all events, no orders countermanding any of the preparations made b y Lord Au c kland, have as yet appeared." The Bengal Hurharu observes :—" In the meantime, whilst General Nott, after having made a successful attack on the enemy, remains unmolested at Candahar ; whilst General Sale, with Isis gallant little band. mm- Jellalabed in safety, and Colonel Palmer holds his own at Ghuanee ; a fresh force, under the command of Generul Pollock, of the artillery, has congregated at Peshawar. At present it is inactive. The troops have suffered severely from sickness, and have been much straightened for ammunition ; but these impediments to an advance have, ere now, been removed, and we ex pect soon to hear of the force having marched to the re lief •Of Jellalabad. This accomplished, it is difficult to say what the , next movement will be ; for, during the present uncertain state of our political information,.Go vernment must be sorely puzzled to decide against whom to proceed. A new r.der has, since we last wrote, been placed at the head of affairs. Lord Ellenhorough has arrived, and Lord Auckland has departed. This may make a material difference in our future policy towards Afighan istan. The preSent Governor-General, who has secu, and from the very first, as clearly as any man, the wrAched folly of the expedition beyond the Indus, will be loth to adopt a modus operandi, which will have the effect of inducing so mighty an evil as the permanent occupation of Affghanistan. Whatever measures he may resort toewe have good reason to hope that they will be final, the present movement being rendered only the precursor of a withdrawal of our troops to the other side of the Indus. Let us only have an opportunity of withirewing with good grace, and the sooner we withdraw the better." The Bombay Courier says :—" Of Affghanistan we have but little to say more than that we do not labour under the disagreeable necessity of recording any fresh disasters of an important nature. Major-General l'olleek was, by our last accounts from Peshawar, en camped with a large force at a place between that city and the entrance of the Khyber pass, called Kawulsur. It ie`feenerally believed that no attempt will be made to penetrate the defiles until the arrival of fresh reii6a-ce ments of European cavalry and infantry, which, together with some native corps, are now moving thro u g h the Punjaub. They will not arrive at Peshawar until the 10th of the present month. All appears to be going on pretty satisfactorily - at Jel lalabad. Some of the bastions were much injured by the shock of an earthquake. The enemy took advantage of the accident, and endeavoured to force their way into the Place. The British agents have managed to trans mit a small sum of money to Major-General Sale, by means of which he succeeded in obtaining a considerable supply of iisrage ; an article, the scarcity of which had previously been severely felt. -,Negotiations have been • opened with the view of inducing the Khyberees to keep the passes open for a pecuniary consideration. It would appeer, however, that there is little chance of a successful termination to the treaty. Should it fail, force will be re sorted to as soon as Col. White's brigade joins Gen. Pol lock. In the mean ti me t h e l atter officer is said to have made every preparation for a forward movement at the shortest notice, with the troops already at his disposal, in time _event of General Sale finding it necessary to 'make an urgent requisition for prompt assistance. The British hold their own at Ghuzni and lihelat-i- Ghilzie. At the former place they are confined to the citadel, the enemy being in possession of the town. Tito Atighans are collected in force near Candahar, and lay the last accounts from that place General Nott w is preparing to move out against them, with from ten •to twelve thousand men. There is no doubt that this force will. speedily defeat the insurgents in its vicinity, After which it will move on to the relief of Ghuznee and e dfiniately to Caubul." , In. the debate on Mr. T. DUNCOMBE'S motion on Tuescfay, S ir ROBERT PEEL said he had never seen - anything of-those passages of certain journals which said that England would be as great without as with t the manufacturing districts. He is, therefore, in- , tensely ignorant of the heated and hostile feelings which pervade society, of which those passages are the exponents, and, therefore, he has prescribed, with the most solemn confidence, the milk-and-water of his Corn-law and his Tariff, as a cure for the low and and malignant fever which rages in every vein of the community. The persons who wished to be called to the bar were competent to enlighten him on this important matter; but with that insensibility to his own deficiencies, which is the characteristic of besot ted ignorance, he was forward in refusing to hear them. Forsooth, it would stop the public business. Forsooth, it would excite hopes that the Legislature did at last mean to do something to relieve the people, and Sir R. PEEL would, by no means, encourage such a wild and unfounded delusion. Is any public business, too, let us ask, of equal im portance to that of satisfying the masses—of relieving their distresses, and of restoring their confidence in the Legislature ? Their welfare is the end and aim of legislation, and if that could be attained by hearing, them, public business would be more promoted than by passing the Income-tax and the Tariff. There was in Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech one re markable phrase, calculated to rouse and alarm even his insensible ignorance. Mr. ROEBUCK had stated that the law was omnipotent in England, while force or violence governed on the Continent. Sir ROBERT PEEL explained, that the reason of this was a convic tion that " the law was just." Did they think, he asked, "that the people could have the respect which they ever paid to the law, if they did not feel that it guaranteed the safety of property, and secured liberty—that it was a law for the poor as well as for the rich." But he asked that question with a petition lying before him, bearing more than 3,000,000 signatures, complaining of the law, and de nouncing it in the very strongest terms. There must have been present to Sir R. PEEL'S mind the alarm ing fact that the bulk of the people are dissatisfied with the law ; he stated that on their satisfaction with it depended its power, and yet he refused to hear those who could explain why the people no longer entertain the conviction that the law is just, and no longer rely on it as guaranteeing property and securing liberty. If he betrayed by the first observa tion we have quoted, for the community, most alarming ignorance, his refusal to hear the statements of the people against the law, so that they might be parried and counteracted, while he is sensible that the authority of the law depends on their conviction of its justice, seems to us sheer infatuation. There was another Right Hon. Gentleman who took part in that debate, whose observations do not meet our approbation. We pass by Mr. MACAULAY'S strained inferences that the petitioners would apply a sponge to the national debt, and would put an end to landed property, to property in railroads, and to ma chinery, as totally unwarranted either by the conduct of the patient and long-suffering people or their lan guage. The petitioners did not complain, be it observed, of being injured in their persons. They did not say that they had been shut up in dungeons, or had their ears cut off, or been maimed and maltreated by any tyrant ; but they said that they were over-taxed and under-paid. They complained, from beginning to end, of their property not being secured, but conti nually violated by the Legislature. In the teeth of that just complaint, Mr. MACAULAY mocked them with a homily about the advantages of security of property, all of which he refused to them. So far as the people are concerned, his remarks were unfounded in fact ; they were neither philosophy nor common sense, and no better than heartless pedantry. The Nottingham Election Committee, before which a serious contest was expected, has at once reported that Sir JOIIN HOBROUSE and Sir G. DE LARPENT were duly elected. We are quite sure that this de cision is the result of a compromise between the con tending parties, by which bribery and corruption are concealed, and the rights of the electors trifled with. The same observation applies. to several other recent and quickly formed decisions of Election Committees. For example, Mr. RUSSELL, it has been said, as the consequence of such a compromise, is to give up his seat for Reading. We know that other Members are also to resign their seats after a short period. We would have the constituencies, therefore, wherever a return has been disputed, to be on their guard; and we would recommend them in no case to allow their rights to be bartered away by any agents. The compromises before Election Com mittees are not binding on the electors, and we hope that they will not allow a single seat which may be vacated in consequence of mutual agreements, to be filled up at the pleasure of the compromising parties. The late Postmaster-General, the Earl of Lich field, is gone to Naples with his family, and his establishments in England are entirely broken up. The magnificent contents of Shugborough-hall and St. James's-square, are both announced in our columns, and, next to the far-famed sale at Straw berry-hill, its splendour and variety will produce an excitement unexampled for many a long year. Of course Mr. George Robins will preside on each occa sion. The gallery of pictures and statues, it is con fidently urged, will eclipse any sale that has taken place for the last twenty years. Our columns this morning will show that we have resumed our acquaintance with our old friend George Robins. It presents a tolerable repast for all those who have money at command. WEST INDIA STEAM-PACKETS. As much misrepresentation exists as to the late disarrangement and non-arrival of the West India packets, the following explanation may not be un acceptable. The primary cause of the disarrange ment seems to have been owing to the Tweed leaving Jamaica without a sufficiency of coals to take her back, and she was consequently detained at Chagres and Porto Bello, and was absent from Jamaica, by the last accounts, no less than six weeks. This deranged the order of the packets to windward, and the Actaeon, one of the windward packets, was compelled to go down to Jamaica with the windward mail, which deranged the service there At the same the authorities at the Havannali put the Tay in quarantine, because she had not a clean bill of health from Honduras ; and this led' to a misunder standing between the English Consul and Spanish authorities, in reference to the delivery of the mails, which proceeded to such lengths as to provoke military interference. Meanwhile, one of the. mail agents, on board the Actaeon, prevented the mails being car ried from Turk's Tsland to Nassau, which, had it been done, the mails would have been in England up- wards of three weeks since, by the Madeira. Sub sequently, the interference of Mr. TURNBULL, the English Consul, and Lieutenant APLIN, the mail agent (since cashiered for his conduct), on board the Tay, tended to increase the confusion ; for. they commanded two of the Company's steamers to leave their stations, 'and, contrary to the instruction.; of the Company to their officers, and in direct oppo sition to the advice of the Post-office Commissioner, Mr. KAINSI, ordered both these vessels, the Forth and the Tay, to proceed direct to England, and both, ac cording to these instructions, left Nassau together, and arrived in England together. By the interference of another mail agent, the Dee, at Turk's island, in place of being allowed to pursue her proper course, wa s ordered away to Jamaica, and thence to Havannah and thus three most important and connecting stations were altogether deprived of steamers to carry on the service, the consequences of which can scarcely be calculated ; but may be imagined, when we say that the communication between the West Indian islands, Northern America, and the Gulf of Mexico, will be for atime virtually interrupted, and thrown into great confusion. We forbear adding any further remarks, as the question is now before the Admiralty; but we think some of our Contemporaries have been too hasty in expressing opinions grounded on a want of know ledge of facts. Proofs that no blame in these matters can be attached to the Company, is the fact, as it has been stated to us, of Lieut. A.PuN's dismissal for un warrantable interference, and another mail-agent, whose name we forbear mentioning, having been superseded and sent to England by Sir C. ADAM, under arrest for improper conduct. We have been informed from good authority that such instructions have been sent out by the steamer Forth, Captain FAYRER, which was to leave Fal mouth on .the 4th inst. ,(yesterday), both from the Company and the Admiralty, as will, shortly after her arrival out, restore things to their regular order. The passage of the steam ship Antwerpen, Captain Jackson, from London to Antwerp, on Sunday last, was effected in twenty hours. She returned here this morning, with nume rous pamengers, bringing the Brussels papers of yesterday. HER MAJESTY'S LEVEE. The Queen held a Levee yesterday afternoon, at St. James's Palace.

We have received New York Papers this day by the Virginian, Captain Allen; to the 15th ult., being four days later than before received. Since the arrival of Lord AshbUrton in the States, a great degree of interest has been excited as to his Lord ship's instructions, and the policy which will be pursued: the general opinion is that his mission will result in a favourable adjustment of the difficulties between the two countries. His Lordship has already sent a com munication to the Governor of Maine, and an extra ses sion of the Legislature of that State was to be called im mediately, to take the subject into consideration. The Loan Bill has been read a second time in the Senate, and ordered to be engrossed for the third read ing. There is no doubt that th e measure w ill pa ss , though it is said there are some influential Members of the Senate unfavourably disposed towards the measure. By the latest accounts from Texas, we learn that the reports of the invasion of that country by the Mexicans have been greatly exaggerated. The mighty army of 21,000 men has suddenly dwindled down to about 1,000, and these have retreated beyond the Rio Grande. The business of the New York Market had slightly improved, cotton having been in good demand, and a trifle higher in price. _ The following are extracts from the papers : NEW ORLEANS, MARCH 31.—The Mexican forces have re treated beyond the Rio Grande, amounting in all to about 1,000 men, and the Texians are in hot pursuit. Private letters which I have perused state that General Houston had deter mined on the invasion of Mexico, and no doubt was entertained but that an amy of 0,000 men could be raised for that pur pose within sixty days. In addition to this, authentic intelligence was received by an arrival from Tampico last night, that the Mexican army had been auimented to 50,000 men. For what other purpose could so large a force have been assembled, but for the invasion of Texas. Indeed, all the accounts received from Mexico within the past two months, plainly show that there is a settled determination on the part of Santa Anna, to reconquer the last province. 1 have seen newspapers up to this, 10th March, but they do not contain a word of news, as is usually the case with these journals. The steam-ship Natchez arrived at twelve o'clock last night in 72 hours from Havannah. A fresh difficulty had arisen be tween the British Consul and Government in relation to the transportation of letters by the Royal mail steamers. The steam-ship 'ray, on her arrival from Vera Cruz, was requested to hand over the letters to be assorted at the Havannali Post office, to which the person in charge of the mails returned a flat refusal. He was forthwith imprisoned, and the British Consul despatched a iressenger to the Admiral commanding on the West India station, asking for some vessels of war to enforce the liberation of Queen Victoria's subjects ! It is evi dent that serious difficulties will grow out of this Royal mail line. (Corkospoodence of the Courier and Enquirer-) NEW ORLEANS, APRIL 2.—A fire broke nut last night be tween nine and ten o'clock, in the store of Messrs. Kohr, lla ran and Co., situated in Bienville-street. The contents were entirely destroyed, and the adjoining building, occcupied by Messrs Schmidt and Co., suff,red some damage from water. The loss is estimated at about $50,000, which is covered by insurance. The branch of the Union Bank at Donaldsonville was robbed two days ago cf $40,000. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—THE LATE FIRE IN LODER'S rt.ACE, WESTMINSTER.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the sign of the Red Lion public-house, Prince's- treet, Westminster, before Mr. Higgs, the Coroner, on the body of George Hopkins, aged three years. Mrs. Jane Hopkins, the wife of George Hopkins, of No. 6, Loder's-place, Brewer's green, Westminster, artificial flower maker, stated that she was tae mother of the deceased. Abort half-past ten o'clock on the morning of Wednesday week, the deceased and his eldest sister were left in the care of a young female who lived next door, while witness went out to work. On witness's return home she found that the deceased had been taken to the hospital, se verely burned, and that the upper partof the house had bean on fire ; the deceased died on the 2d instant from the injuries he sustained. From other evidence it appeared that while the last witness was from home the deceased and his sister were sent by a female lodger, at No. 6, Loder's-place, up into her room to mind it, while she went on an errand. A fire was in the room, and the two children got playing with it, and the clothes of the deceased caught in a blaze, and communicating to a straw bed set fire to the wood work of the room, and but for prompt assistance, the whole of the house would have been in dames, Verdict, 4, Accidentally burnt to Death."

Ample details of the news brought by the over-land mail from India and China will be found in another part of The Sun. We have perused all the accounts which have yet come to hand, with attention, and it affords us pleasure to have to repeat what we stated in our edition of this morning, as to their being more favourable than, under all the circumstances, we were warranted in expecting. The Caubul massacre was not quite so conclusive as Dr. BRYDON reported it. There is no longer a doubt that many officers and men escaped who were supposed to have fallen, and such as were made prisoners by the Affghans were kindly ant humanely treated. We have little . doubt that hundreds will be be found to have escaped who are now numbered with the dead. As we sus pected from the first the real traitor was the Shall SOOJAH, who was jealous of British influence, and who plotted their utter destruction. The discovery of the Shah's treachery was made in a singular manner. The inhabitants orNissar, in Kohistan, have given shelter to the Caubul rebels, and refused tribute to the Shah ; the British Envoy sent a message to their chiefs, threatening them with destruction unless they submitted to the Royal authority. They, in answer, enclosed to him private letters from the Shah, of undoubted authenticity, in which the King informed them that he detested the English infidels, and that he only awaited the ar rival of the Royal family at Loodiana, to destroy them, or drive them out of his country. He also sent the Chaoos Basha, an officer of his Court, to Candahar, to advise the chiefs there to fall upon the English and destroy them. This fact was authenticated by Major RAWLINSON, the political chief, and directly communicated to Sir WILLIAM 11 , PNAGIF" TEN. The SnAu of course denied everything, and the Envoy was weak enough to believe him, although the Shah's seal was affixed to letters before him, and hii very Ministers dared not prononnce them forgeries, against the testimony of so many chiefs. This fatal credulity cost the Envoy his life,:and Great Britain the loss of an army. There is little doubt, however, that the summer campaign will reverse all our misfortunes is Affghanistan. We have nothing to add to-day to the opinion already expressed of the news from China. So far as yet developed, we cordially approve of Sir H. PoTTTNOEa'S policy. There is no news of the slightest interest in the French Papers, save the little contained in the subjoined extracts : The Moniteur of the 3d publishes :the remainder of the Addresses made to the King on the Ist of May, and his Mr jesty's answers. The official journal does not publish this owning his Dla• jesty's answer to the speeeh of the Archbishop of Paris. The Memorial Bordeluis of the Ist of May says—" The ac' counts from Spain give reason to conjecture a speedy change in the Cabinet. " The Regent Espartero seems to be at present inclined t° this expedient, and does not wish to arouse political Passional/ new elections. It is said that he has declared that he intellel to letthis legislation sit its proper time. " According to the Constitution the duration.of the Corte is three years, and the present Ch am b e r was e l ec t e d in 1841. "It is said that the Government will be confided to .5 1 * Olezaja, as Minister of Foreign Affairs, an d. President of.the, Council. This nomination would be more favourable to a goo° understanding between Spain and France, than the present ad' ministration of M. Gonzalez ; in this case M.
