(From the Calcutta Gazette Extraordinary, Jan. 21.) GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S PROCLAMATION. intelligence hiving been received which leaves no room to doubt that, after the Britii•li force at Cabo:il had maintained its position against overpowering numbers of insurgents for more than six weeks, the officer commanding had judged it ne cespary, in consequence of a failure of provisions, to agree to a convention with the enemy; and to retire, in reliance on the faith of that convention, toward, Jellalabad, when the troops, exposed to the worst rigours of cold and privation in the moun tain defiles, and harassed by treacherous attacks, suffered ex treme disasters—the Governor-General in Council deems it proper to notify, that the most active measures have been adopted, and will be stedfastly prosecuted, fur expediting powerful reinforcements to the Affghan frontier, and for assisting such operationi as may be required in that quarter fur tlie maintenance of the honour and interests of the British Government. The ample military means at the disposal of the British Go vernment will be strenuously applied to these objects, so as at Once to support external operations, and to insure efficient pro tection to its subjects and allies. A faithless enemy, stained by the foul crime of aisassina!ion, has, through a failure,. of. supplies, followed by consummate treachery, been able to overcome a body of British troops, in a country removed, by distance and difficulties of season, from the . possibilit•: ~f succour. But the Governor-General in Council, ,white he most deeply laments the loss of brave officers and men, regards this partial reverse only as a new occasion for displaying the stability and vigour of the British power, and the admirable spirt and valour of the British Indian army. the rear guard, duties which the nature of the country rendered of no common difficulty and danger. The commanding officer congratulates the officers and men on the courage and endurance evinced by all under his com mand; and he has no hesitation in declaring his opinion, that nothing would have surmounted the difficulties offered to tha passage of the column short of the determined bearing which was thus displayed. " Thou4h the brunt of the action fell upon the 64th, yet both the 53d and 64th regiments behaved with equal intrepidity, " Per the valuable assistance afforded him by Major Hog gan, commanding the 53d, the Commanding Officer feels most grateful, as also for that afforded him by the late Captain Wilson, who fell gallantly at the head of the 64th regiment, while opposed to the enemy in the Kaffir Thungae pass. By the death of this able and exemplary officer, the State sustains a severe loss. " It may not be irrelevant here to state that the Commanding Officer had the satisfaction personally to express his thanks to Captain Wilson a few minutes before his death on the steady gallantry displayed by himself and his regiment throughout the morning. " To Captain Mackeson, Political Agent, and Captain Ferris, of the Jezailchee corps, the Commanding Officer feels much indebted for the valuable information they afforded him as to the nature of the country to be traversed, and by which the arrangements for crowning the heights were mainly . regu. lated ; as also to Lieutenant Becher, commanding the Sippers and Miners, for .the able assistance he on every occasion ren dered. " Where all behaved with gallantry it is difficult to draw dis . tinction3, but the Commanding Officer cannot pass unnoticed the intrep:d conduct of Captains Campbell and Tylee, of the grenadier and light companies, 53d Regiment, and Captain Prior and Lieutenant Rattray, of the light and grenadiers, 64th Regiment, all of which divisions were employed in crowning the heights, and of Lieutenants Corset and Young, who brought up the rear-guard without confusion, though not without heavy loss in killed and wounded. " The Commandant has received with much satisfaction from Major Hoggan, and also from the late Captain 'Wilson just before his death), assurances of their high estimation of the zealous aid afforded them throughout the whole affair by Lieu tenants Hunter and Flyter, their respective adjutants. " To Brevet Captain Thomas, 64th Regiment, his detach ment.staff, the Commanding Officer's thanks are due, for his untiring exertions through‘o - ut the day, and for the ability, coolness, and celerity, with which, whilst constantly exposed on horseback under 'a heavy fire, he delivered the Commandant's orders, or carried intelligence from distant points. In con clusion, Lieutenant-Colonel Moseley begs to offer his warmest congratulations to the officers and men of the detachment col lectively, on their gallant and successful passage through, probably, the strongest fastnesses ever forced by troops; and through which they had to overcome the determined oppo sition of an enemy well skilled in the warfare peculiarly adapted to the country.' Our correspondent adds, " It is impossible to calculate the loss of the enemy, as they invariably carry off their dead and wounded ; but 1 should say certainly not less than 170 or I SO. The gallant acts of a couple of sepoys, in the 64th Native In fantry, I forgot to mention before. Swinton, of the 53d, was being carried wounded in a doolie, when he was dropped by the bearers, who ran off; two Affreedis rushed down upon the doolie, knife in hand, to put an end to our wounded comrade, when one of our Grenadiers shot one of the savages dead and bayoneted the other, by which means Swinton's life was saved. Anuther sepoy, who had picked up the sword of a Subadar who had been killed, ran three Affreedis through the. with it; this happened when we were hemmed in in the Kaffir Tunghae. both sepoys have,been promoted."— Ibid.

The following is'a list of the officers in the Shah's service not included in the above, and who seem to have been at or near Caboul at the commencement of the outbreak, none of whom have as yet made their appearance, and for whose fate the greatest apprehensions are entertained—of whose arrival it were more correct to sav no hope is left :—Brigadier Anquetil, 42d Native Infantry, subscribed the convention—killed in the Tezeen Pass, Jan. 10. Captain Troup, 48th Native Infantry, prisoner at Lughman, near Jellalabad. Captain Johnstone, 26th Native Infantry, prisoner at Lughman, near Jellalabad. Lieut. J. L. D.

The entire number of those known, or feared to have been killed since the evacuation, amounts to about 112 officers • this excludes all previous casualties. It must be remarked , that this is probably an over-statement of six or eight at least. The list we have quoted from is that of Rushton, cor rected down to Feb., 1841 ; we have at present no later at our command. All the casualties, as well as retirements, which have occurred betwixt Feb. and Ist Nov., 1841, will fall to be withdrawn—leaving a sufficiently melancholy catalogue behind. The names of those who have joined in this interval' must be added. Our loss will probably fall not greatly under 116, since the Ist of November. One only has as yet escaped ; nine are at Cabool—six as hostages, and three as prisoners; 11 are at Lughman, and two at Futoo-23 in all. These, with 11 Europeans at the last named place, are all that have as yet been accounted for. TO CORRESPONDENTS. The address to the Commercial Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland, revecting the Income-tax, has been recei►ed, but we fear there would be little use now in publishing it. Should a meeting, however, be held on the subject, we will state the result. We have no room for Mrs. Fry and the King of Prussia. CANDAIIAR. Nothing very late has been heard from Candahar beyond the news of the tribes collecting round Suftur Jung at Dhala, arid dissension having alveLdy, commenced among themselves as to the plan of attack on the city. Atta Mahomed, the rebel leader, had sent to endeavour to steal the cloak of the Prophet, which is enshrined at Candahar, far the purpose of using it as a banner to lead on the Moslem army against the " dogs of infi dels," and the shrine was consequently guarded with care. The 10,000 men who form the force at Candahar seemed to give great confidence to the people of the city, and General Nott hsd expressed his intention.of receiving the enemy below the walls. He can scarcely indeed move to any great distanee with more than a fraction of his force—having scarcely car riage for 2,000. The road is still closed between Quetta and Candahar and Killa Abduola, in the valley of Pisheen, in the city of the re bels, but the Scinds and Tereenees of the valley refuse to assist the Deoranee views against us, and have sent to this effect to Atta Mahomed. The Pisheenees are a quiet industrious people, and although it is said they can contribute to the Atcheezyes 2,000 fighting men, if hard pressed to do so, they avoid war as a rule, and care only for cultivating the ground, which requires all their labour to yield subsistence to their families. This disposition of the Pisheenees is advantageous, as their country hes so immediately between Candahar and Shawl. At Quetta the breastworks have been completed and every preparation made to receive the enemy, but at present all is quiet, the tribes having moved towards Candahar, and on their prospects there much of their future movements will depend.— Times, Veb. 9. _ MADRAS, The arrangements for the China expedition are progress ing, and.the official order has been issued for four 6-pounder guns, and two 4 2-5 inch howitzers, to accompany the Horse Artillery ; each gun and howitzer being supplied with 500 rounds of all sorts. The troop and company are expected to be at the Mount by the Bth or 10th proximo. Brigadier 'Walpole will review the 2dNative Infantry to-morrow morning. It is vet y generally reported that that the Bengal Govern ment has notified to the laical Government that no furthei na• tive troops can he spared from Bengal for China. In that case it is probable etnorgli, therefore, that Madras may be called upon for another regiment.— Spectator, Jan. 29. PESHAWAR AND KHYBER PASS. ( From the Ilombay Times.) General Pollock's brigade was moving on with all possible despatch, and expected to reach Peshawar on the 3d current. It ' was the general belief . in camp, that he was resblved on attempting the Pass without delay, in conjunction with Co lonel %Vild's brigade. But the General is too clear-sighted to do so rashly; and from all that we can gather, the force at his disposal, though as efficient for its size as any can be, is too small, and that unless he can overpower the Khyberees on their own ground, and dispossess them of the heights command ing the Pass, he cannot force his way without severe loss. We are very much obligtd to one of our old friends who has kinlly sent us the following account of the late " cutting through" in the Kyber Pass, and feel very great pleasure in publishing the Detachment Order, convinced that all parties therein named have fully merited all the praise accorded them. We lave received other accounts also, and all give most un qualified praise to the Sepoys of both regiments for their truly gallant and spirited behaviour; the 64th Native Infantry, from their position, bore the brunt of the day's work. and most gal hotly they did it. Many, in this station, will observe with pleasure the mention of the names of their old acquaintances, from whom all that is brave was to be expected. Lieutenant Alexander, of the Engineers, had a very narrow escape, a shot having struck the button of his coat over the chest, but luckily was turned off; the blow was, of course, most severe, but he is doing well. The accounts of the murder of the wounded men obliged to be abandoned to their fate, are horrifying : these Khyber savages appear to glory in blood, and to mangle bodies for sport. Sickness is lending its aid to the accumulation of dis asters at Peshawar, about eighty sepoys being admitted daily into the hospital with dya'ntery. The 60th are said to have but 150 men fit for duty, after deducting the usual and ne cessary guards. " Camp Rawulsar, 29th January. " This letter will give you a partial account of the manner we cut our way back through the Khyber pass. You must first know that on the 15th of this month the 53d and 64th were ordered on to Ali Musjid. We according marched, at ten o'clock at night on the 15th, got through the pass unmolested, and reached Ali Musjid about eleven next day. Our men started with nothing, but their great coats, and officers marched as lightly as possible; the remainder of the brigade was ex *derl to have followed us in a day er two after, but on our ap pearing at Ali Musjid (for what earthly purpose we were sent there God knows), it was the signal for the whole of the Affreedis to be up in arms against u's, and to attempt to shut up the pass, which they have dune most effectually, and no gold will now induce them toopen it. Brigadier Wild, with the 60ila and 30th, attempted to force the pass on the 19th, in order to join us, but I am sorry to say he was beaten back with heavy lost in men, baggage, &c. " On the 23d another attempt was made, when he succeeded itt kdocking down the breastworks of the enemy, which had been built in the narrow defiles. All this time we were hemnied in in Ali Musjid, starving ; the Sepoys were put on half ra tions, and were nearly perishing with the cold, having no cover ing at night but their great coats, and the canopy of Heaven fur tents. The officers fared the same, having to eat for eight days but chuputees and bull-beef, which was only fit to give to dogs. At last we got desperate ; Wild could nut join us, and the pass was shut in every direction. It was at length deter mined, when there were only five maunds of attah in store, that we should bravely cut our way back, Brigadier Wild at the same time making a demonstration in our favour at the mouth of the pass. " So, accordingly, the dawn of the 24th saw our two corps under arms, and we bid adieu to Ali Musjid. We had uo sooner left the tort than the w hole of the surrounding hills awa!med with Affreedis ; the little baggage that some of us had we hail made up our minds to have destroyed the night be fore,yat her than it should fall into the hands of the enemy. The sums of the sick were also broken up, and some ammunition destroyed.

" tieuts-Colonel Moseley feels rauch gratification in convey.. ing to the officers and men composing the detachment under his command. his sentiments on the happy issue of their eaer ti' of yeateiday morn ing, and on the success that crowned their efforts to cut their way through the strongly defended and difficult passes of the Khyber, from the fortress of Ali Musjid back to Jumrocd. "For these happy results the commanding officer takes to ;.himself no credit;. they .were malady attributable to the gal lantry and intelligence of those officers who were engaged in the important ditties of crowning the heights and bringing up CABOOL. We quoted in a former issue a return of the forces lately at. Cahoot, published by the Delhi Gazette of the 22d January, which we believe is very nearly, if not altogether, correct.

The following is from our Aden correspondent :—" We are once mere on just as bad terms as ever with the Arabs, and we hear of nothing now again but of attacks and war to the hilt, all concocted by Mulla Jaffer, which Captain Haines circulates as true. He has recently offended the Foothlees very much, in a most unmeaning► manner. At the late Fed, this tribe wished to make the usual sacrifice at the tomb of Hydruoss, when they were met by a blunt refusal from the Plenipotentiary. Captain Haines is crying " Wolf ! Wolf !" so lustily now, to have a pretext for sending out troops to destroy Lahedge, and the country about, with fire and sword on the arrival of the 17th Regiment Native Infantry, as he has given it out that Government have authorised him to do so, should there be occasion for such a measure. This will be doing the business most effectually. We need expect no more supplies after the whole country is laid waste and made worse than a wilderness of. It would be well were Govern ment to order the State locker to calculate what it will coat us in pounds, shillings, and pence extra, when the C,mmisariat has to supply everything—leaving out of the question the num bers of lives that would be lost from increased disease, and the extra hospital establishment.. It will also be good for the hu mane man to conlernplate the picture of distress and misery effected merely to pander to the caprice of folly and knavery; but I should hardly think Government can have entrusted such powers to him, and that it is a vain boast of Capt. Haines. Bombay Times. THE WEATIIER.—NooN, APRIL 3.

The Crane (sailing) packet, Lieut. John Hill corn: mander, has also arrived this afternoon from Mexico, having left Vera Cruz 15th Feb., Tampico 23d, and Havannah Bth March. She has on freight about 635,000 dollars, all of which, with the exccption of about 20,000, were shipped at Tampico. There is no political news by this vessel. '1 he Republic was quiet, • but Santa Anna was very unpopular, and not at all likely to maintain supreme authority. The ex- President, Bustamente, was reported to have embarked for France. The Solway steamer had arrived at Vera Cruz 6th February, from Havannah, and left again on the 7th for Tampico, to collect letters in the Gulf for England, but up to the 23d following, when the Crane sailed, she had never ' made her appearance at that port. The Crane brings no in formation respecting the Medina steamer, so long due, and has only fallen in with one of the Company's vessels on her voy age, viz., the Forth, which had reached the Havannah from Vera Cruz the day the Crane sailed therefrom. The Tweed steamer was considered a missing vessel. Her Majesty's ship Hydra brought the Jamaica mails to the Havannah owing to some irregularity of the Royal Steam. Packet Company, and left again the 9th following for Jamaica. Her Majesty's ships Electra and Charybdis were at Jamaica .lst ult., and her Majesty's ship Tweed had arrived at Havannah Bth ult., from Vera Crus and Tampico, having on board 560,000 dollars for the Commissariat Department at Jamaica. The Mexican Government had purchased the City of Dublin steamer, at Vera Crus on the 11th of February for 11,500/.

Sun Offiee, 112, Strand, April 6, 1542. Ctit uu„ LONDON? WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 6, 1642. The Revenue tables for the quarter, which will be found in another part of The Sun, show -a decrease on the Customs, Excise, Stamps, and Taxes, as com pared with the corresponding quarter of last year, of 288,973/. In the Post-office, Crown lands, and Miscellaneous items there is an increase of 341,0671., showing a total increase in the quarter, of the ordi nary revenue, of 52,094/. Such a result is not con solatory, as the increase is in what may be called accidental sources of revenue, while the decrease is in all the great streams , which usually fill the na tional treasury. In the extraordinary revenue there is an increase of 465,6 751., and a decrease of 6,4371., making a total increase of revenue in the quarter of 111,3321. Sir R. PEEL appears to have been , well convinced, before he brought forward his income tax, that the heavy hand of the landlords, on the throat of the nation, was throttling its prosperity, and that nothing additional could be got from it till they were made to relax their murderous gripe. Included in the revenue of the years ending the sth instant is 627,2941., obtained from sugar, more than in the year ending April 5, 1841. It can scarcely be expected, however, if the accounts given by the .West India planters of the indolence of the negroes be correct, that we shall next year receive an equal sum for sugar, unless foreign sugar be ad mitted. At any rate it is a somewhat melancholy and startling reflection that so much of the income of the Government, and consequently the order of the State, should depend on the disposition of the black labourers in the West Indies. We see nothing in the Revenue Tables to give us the least satisfaction , unless it be the continued increase of the postage revenue, which has been so much reduced, while all the duties that have been increased are yielding less and less. In State arithmetic addition diminishes and substraction augments. Sir ROBERT PERI, is about to add to the taxes, and probably he may dimi nish the receipts. Necessity, the tyrant's plea, seems now likely, to be come the rule of our legislators. The slave owners in the United States and in Cuba declare that there is a necessity for slavery. They mean a necessity-to gra tify their lust of wealth and their desire of ease. For years, aye, for ages, it has been declared that impress ment is necessary, which means that certain mistrustfu', ignorant, and, perhaps, cowardly persons in Parliament, and in the public service, were afraid lest men, the cheapest of all commodities, could not be obtained in sufficient numbers to sacrifice their lives in the so-called service of their country ; a most idle fear, but on that idle and absurd fear the crime of impressment was justi fied and practised without remorse. It is necessary, it is said, to put down fairs and all kinds of amusements for the people, which phrase, when analysed, is found to mean—that the rich and care-worn envy the common people the little animal enjoyment they can obtain, and cry aloud that it leads to immorality, and must be put down. Necessity is the tyrant's plea of multitudes in popular Governments as well as of despots where millions vilely consent to hold their lives and fortunes at the will of a single individual, and is now as much acted on in England as in Russia. Necessity is Sir ROBERT PEEL'S plea for the income tax. He must have more money, and cannot, so he says, raise it by any other means. Many Liberals, and all the Tories echo his must, and on their asserted ne cessity the income tax is to be inflicted on us. Analysed and examined, that word necessity means nothing more than Sir RonEwr PEEL'S inability, or his unwillingness, to examine all the resources of the State, and his political dependence on certain monopolists, which makes it ne cessary for him to do their bidding. The necessity for an income tax to scourge the people, redlly means, therefore, nothing more than the feebleneSs of Sid?. PEEL'S mind, or his political dependence on the land- lords. • He has hinted at another necessity, the necessity of imposing on foreigners by our willingness to make great sacrifices. Then France will be eager to cherish peace, and the United States, in which there is now much gas conade, will be slow to prosecute a quarrel 'on account of the Creole, the Caroline, or the Boundary. Then, too, -it is supposed, that the distant nations of the East, hear ing of. our readiness to make great sacrifices, will be smitten with dread, and that our mighty preparations will spare many blows. All that may be good, hut the necessity would not exist did not our Legislature prevent that mutual dependence of nations which is generated by commerce, and which would make us fear as little ‘a quarrel with France and the United States, as that a quarrel should ensue between Scotland and England, or • between York shire and Corms all. Moreover, if this necessity of imposing on foreigners by a display of patriotism and devotion to the Government be so urgent, why should it be eo:fined to the middle and lower classes ? Might not the landlords exhibit those qualities with as much advantage as other persons ? Selfish maintainers of their own selfish advantages, they cheered Sir ROBERT PEEL, - the chosen organ of their selfishness, when he talked solely about sacrifices and patriotism, when he called on all classes cheerfully ' to submit to the burdens he is about to impose, but they never offered up their own, Corn-law on the altar of patriotism. It is mainly for their advantage that distant possessions are preserved. They enjoy all the emoluments and honours of the Government. They limit the resources of the nation by their monopolies, and instead of sacrificing these, and su increasing the revenue in an hour of peril, they call on others to bear all the burdens of the State, while they reap all the honours and advantages. Let them set an example of making sacrifices, and others will follow ; at present they main tain this monopoly; they keep in their own hands all the power and rewards of Government, and at the same time they assert that there is a necessity for the psople to submit to new burdens. Sir ROBERT PEEL, too, while he preaches to us the necessity of submission, feels a necessity to be a despot. The claims of the protected classes upon whom he relies, and whose pretensions he has encouraged, are so nume rous, that it is impossible for him to satisfy them. He , cuts the matter short, therefore, with an " absolute shall," and says it must be as I direct. The multitude of the claims on him necessarily makes him despotic. The more the operations of Government are extended, as the faculties of individuals cannot be extended with them to grasp the mall, the more despOtic must rulers become. In our free State they declare, like Sir R. PEEL, that they cannot remain in office unless they are allowed to have their own way. The Emperor Nrettotas might at any time listen to the few nobles or opulent persons, who might venture to sug gest to him-that he was doing them undesignedly an injury, bat in a free country it is impossible for a Minis ter to listen to the reclamations of all who may presume on his attention. Hence Sir R. PEEL'S ambition in pro posing to re-adjust the whole tariff necessarily carries with it a species of despotism. It is impossible that he should succeed without suppressing clamours, refusing to listen to remonstrances, and being, as he avows, des potic in his resolves. Acting on this plea of necessity, we are already far gone in the way of despotism. Our ancestors valued trade so highly. that they made it a Standing Order of the House, of Commons, that no measure, in any way affecting trade, should be introduced, except in a Com mittee of the whole House. They adopted the same resolution as to religion. Their object was to submit lany measures, affecting these important subjects, to the - "ost searching examination, by increasing the stages it must 6 through, and so add to the guarantees against Our ancestors, who framed the rules of hasty changes. , ven Mr. BENTBA3I has eulogised, procedure, which -nder the same safeguards. placed trade and religion had in his own closet, Suppose that Sir ROBERT PEL- ~,oe of the House after some inquiry by a R a di ca l Comum.. -eh, an of Commons into the condition of the Chu.. • flounced, to the House of Commons a great scheme for fresh appropriation of Church revenues, and no slight alteration in its doctrines —suppose he had coupled such a scheme with a plan for raising the supplies for the year, and declared that both were ne cessary—suppose that he had openly stated that he would throw up the Government if he were not allowed to carry both through Parliament, would that not be vir tnally, but cunningly, setting aside that constitutional guarantee against change in religion, which has been established by compelling every man to bring forward such changes in a Committee of the whole House ? It is true, that after ho bad settled with an obsequious and time-serving majority that his new scheme of finance and Church government should be carried, though they hated it, rather than that he should give up - the Government, .he would introduce it in a Committee of the whole douse, observing the form, while hd violated the substance of the Constitution,. such conduct would deservedly cause gieat and deserved reproaches from the religions 'Tarty, and in addition to ' the cry that would be raised against him for attacking the Church, he would be justly accused of violating the Constitution. But this is precisely what Sir R. PEEL is doing as to trade, and we are not aware of any reason which should make us, on the plea of necessity, submit to • this cun ning violation of the Constitution in regard to trade, any more than we should submit to it if practised to the injury .of religion. Sir ROUERT Phrm's tariff, subject to the modifications which he may condescend to introduce in it, if he stick to his declara tion, is already carried, before it has been submitted to a Committee. His conduct is, we assert, a canning violation, in substance, of one of the best safeguards of our Con stitution. Even if we approved of all his tariff altera tions, despotically proposed as they are, we should ob. jeet to his lashing them on to a system of finance, and coercing the House of Commons into an implied assent to them, by a threat of resignation, before he has even submitted them to a Committee of the whole House. These measures, however—the odious and inquisitorial income tax, the changes in the tariff—rest altogether on necessity, that tyrant's plea—the necessity for more money—the necessity for keeping Sir R. PEEL in office, and the necessity, therefore, of assenting to his schemes as he issues them from his bureau. With much pre tence, however, he says that he has done justice to all classes. If that be true, what has been done by every pre ceding:Minister and by the Legislature? What did he him self do and advocate, when he defended and upheld the very laws and protecting duties he now proposes to change ? He is driven to make the change from neces sity, and, Conservative though he be, he cannot avoid altering the old regulations which he has taken office to maintain. Neither in doing it can he avoid pronouncing, like some Radical, a sentence of condemnation on the very laws and the very Legislature he calls on the peo ple by severe penalties to obey and serve. All the accounts received from India confirm the pre vious news of the destruction of the British force at Cabool. By the blackest treachery on the part of AKBAR KHAN a massacre of our troops took place un paralleled in atrocity in the records of the most savage warfare. We will not here inquire by what misma nagethent on the part of the military commanders of the force at Cabool the army was reduced to the necessity of accepting a dishonourable treaty at the dictation of the Aff ghan Chief. That will be investigated hereafter. Enough that a treaty was signed by AKBAR KHAN guaranteeing fur our, troops the safe evacuation of Affghanistan. Hardly, however, had the British army comnieuced its retreat when AKBAR KHAN issued proclamations calling upon all good Mussulmans to rise and destroy the in fidel Kaffirs. A copy of one of them was trans mitted to India, of which the following is a trans lation :—" I, MOHAMMED AKBAR KHAN, by the Grace of Goy, Lord of, &c., have slain the Lord of the Kaffirs, and am about to drive them out of the country. It is your duty to annihilate them on the road; rise up, surround Jellulabad, and exterminate the infidels." The Lord of the Katlirs here alluded to, is Sir WILLIAM Mac- NAGHTEN, whose treacherous assassination is thus avowed by the KHAN. As the Shah SOOJAH obstinately re fused to quit Cabool with the British troops, remaining behind at the had of 3,000 men, there is: every reason to believe that he was quite aware of AMUR'S treach erous intentions. For our own part, we . are as fully per suaded of the fact as if we had before us the evidence of the concoctors of this foul conspiracy. According to the best accounts the British force at Cabool consisted in all of 5,000 fighting men and 7,000 camp followers. They left Cabool on the sth of January, the snow was then a foot deep ; they had not sufficient clothing, and were miserably off fur food. On the 7th they entered the Khoord Cabool Pass, where the enemy poured down upon them from all sides, and a frightful slaughter ensued. The following day such as escaped were again attacked on the Ilufft Kothul, a bleak precipi tous mountain, where, benumbed and power less with cold, nearly the whole sepoy force miser ably perished. The guns were spiked and abandoned, and the ladies who had accompanied their husbands in these unprecedented perils given up as hostages to the traitor AKnAR, who pretended that he could not repress the murderous attacks of the Affghans. Four native regiments were here destroyed, the 3d, 35th, and 54th Bengal Infantry, and a Regiment of the SHAH'S. Her Majesty's 44th still struggled on till tha Commander, Brigadier ANQUETIL, who succeeded General ELPIIINSTONE, was killed. This was on the 12th—seven days after the evacuation of Cabool. A panic seized them, they were thrown into con fusion, and no longer recognised the authority of their officers, some of whom they struck with their muskets. This accelerated their destruction, and nothing was now left but every man to shift for himself. The destructive result has been already stated. Such is the lamentable news from Cabool. But our loss, though dreadful, is far from being irreparable. We have still a powerful force in - that country, which requries only to be concentrated under an able General to reverse this sad record of our disasters. We have 10,000 troops, under General Now at Candahar, 1,000 at Ghuznee, 2,000 at Jellalabad, and 1,200 at Khelah-i-Ghilzie, making a total force of 14,200 men. A reinforcement of 30,000 men has been ordered from India, li,hich requires only to arrive in time to effect the complete subjugation of the treacherous and cruel Affghans. What is most wanted at this moment is an intelligence in India capable of guiding the valour of our troops. With the highest opinion of the military talents of our officers, we are constrained to avow that recent events in Cabool have forced upon us the painful conviction, that had they not been wanting in military foresight and prudence, we would not have to record the distressing intelligence found in our columns of this day. Valour is one of the least of the great qualities essential to the success of a Commander-in-Chief in carrying on a war in such a country as Affghanistan. We have a terrible struggle before us in Affghanistan and China ; but with firmness, prudence, and ability, we shall be carried triumphantly through it. We have no grounds for exultation, neither have we any room for despair. In warring upon the Afghans we no longer seek vengeance for the treachery of a Chief, but for the treachery and cruelty of a whole people. "MMARY NEN11,4,, AND evinton. " Who runs may read." PUBLIC OPI MON. The Chronicle thus briefly alludes to the last disastrous in telligence from Affghanistan :—" There appears in the Indian press a strong disposition to censure General Elphinstone for the convention signed after the murder of the Envoy ; and it is said that nothing but downright fatuity could have induced him to march out of his cantonments, which he might have safely held for another month. Without more precise infor mation, it is impossible to say how far these strictures may be founded in justice. In some quarters, it is stated that the con vention was forced upon the commanding officer and the poli tical agent by the garrison. This, at all events, should sug gest caution in adopting such strictures. A large force is cen centrating at Peshawnr, and the utmost energy was apparent in preparing to retrieve these disasters. Upon the policy of this proceed►n; at least these Will, we apprehend, he no differ ence of opinion. As to the course ultimately to be pursued in Affghanistan, it rests upon the same grounds precisely upon which the expedition was undertaken." The Morning Herald says :—" At what cost will the new expedition into Affghanistan be made:? Already Lord Auck land's declaration of Simla has expended at least twelve millions sterling, and has brought the Indian treasury into a state bordering on insolvency; has involved the East India Company in debt, has begot one loan, has caused the expendi ture of India to exceed its revenue by one million and a half sterling, and has retarded the material prosperity of British India, Whence are the funds for new Dooranee wars to be derived? are the rots of India or the people of England to de fray their cost ? Will capitalists lend en the security of the wilds of Central Asia? Sir Robert Peel has distinctly told us that permanent derangement of the Indian finances must disorder those of theltnperial treasury; is there , any hope that Aff ghan wars will re-pay their expenses? Can Lord itlleriboreugh, Napoleon-like, make trans-Indian hostilities maintain them selves? Financial considerations, as well as dangers and diffi culties, must give- way to considerations of nat.onal honour. This is true ; but whatever course is decided, let it not be en tered on in the dark ; let the country know and understand its position and its liabilities, and the worst that is to be appre hended." The Advertiser reverts to the question of the income tax, in the following terms :—" Never was there a measure against which so much was said. or so little done, as the proposition for burdening the country with this iniquitous tax. The re cess has now come to a close, and though the unpopularity of Sir Robert Peel's scheme has become greater every day, its chances of being, defeated are as remote as they were on the day of the adjournment, or even more distant ; for then, at least, the people felt prepared to second with energy any vigo rous lead that might have been made towards the ind;gnaut re jection by the nation at large of the obnoxious project. If this had been done, the Minister would never have dared to -au his odious, proposition, and we are compelled to tell the -a agait,st the income tax, in the words of Coriola who should find them lions—find them -f putting on a bold and determined ' 4 14 before the party who would -, lv,nauttered complaints Clamour, nus, that—f 1 Lk, ham.'

While there• forci, we mourn for the brave that are no more, and deeply sympathise with the sorrow of many an aching heart for the fathers, hmobands, brothers, sons, who have died in this lament able defence and retreat ; let us remember that, as Britons, we are not to grieve, but to ”xert burselires, 'and that our duty is to efface the memory : ,of temporary defeat by permanent triumph." The Times has the following remarks on the subject of the Indian news ;—" We are saying as little as we can well make up our minds to say, when weexpress our feeling that seldom has there been a British officer whose conduct stood in bud' grievous need of explanation its that of General Elphinstone. As long as he was in command, from the beginning to the end, the British movements seem to have been charactersed by a weak ness and indecision as unworthy as it has proved fatal. From the first it would seem, by our accounts, General Elphinaone discou raged or prevented the more rigorous measures which were urged by Sir W. 111acnaghten. In a position where the defen • sive course was plainly impracticable—wren to be inactive was simply to starve—he allowed (as we are told) a supposed—or perhaps real—despondency and vacillation in the troops to pre vent that bolder line of conduct which, dangerous as it might have been, was the only one which was open to him. Even the small captures of grain which enabled the troops to retain their position as long as they did, were undertaken " at the so licitation of the Envoy.'

On the motion of Lord Ingestrie, a return was ordered of Sir Samuel Bentham's plan for a floating breakwater, which was invented in 1811, in order to enable the House to judge of a Bill now in progress for establishing a floating breakwater on Captain Taylor's principle. The House went into Committee on the Corn-keeping- out- Bill, and was occupied with it for the remainder of the even ing.
