We take the following summary of sews from the Overland Bombay Gazette of the Bth July:— " The latest intelligence received from Cabul is to the 9th June, from which we learn that Sirdar Mahonaed Afzul's army has been signally defeated by the troops of his brother, the Ameer Share Ma homed Ali Khan. The engagement took place on the 2d June, near Bameean, the leader of Afzul Khan's army having attempted to surprise that of the Ameer, in which he was frustrated, the latter being fully prepared. The action was long and bloody, and Afzul Khan's troops evrntually fled in wild disorder, leaving their guns, ammunition, and camp equipage on the field. The loss on both sides were very heavy. Inolosure 2. CONSUL MURRAY TO LORD LYONS. Portland, June 23, 1864. My Lord,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your lordship's despatch dated the 11th inst., authorising me to employ a lawyer on behalf of Thomas 'pulley and the other Irishmen who were enlisted into the 20th Maine Re giment, if I deemed it advisable to do so. Thomas Talley presented himself at this office yesterday on his arrival from Philadelphia. He rid not appear in uniform, as he stated that he bad been deprived of it by two men who induced him to go and lodge with them at Boston, and who the next morning endeavoured to entice him to re-enlist and accept the bounty money over again. This he refused to do, and came on in the clothes lent him by the master of the house, who he believes was in the plot. I went with Tetley to the provost marshal, who has sent him to Camp Berry, in this immediate neighbourhood, so as to be near at hand when required. Tuley knew nothing about his companions. Michael Bryne returned from the hospital at Augusta a few days ago, and told me that ho had obtained a ten days' furlough. He seemed to have recovered from the wound in the head, but told me he was suffering from other bodily ailments.

I have the satisfaction of being able to say that six of the men appear to be for the present in safety. The report made to Mr Consul Murray that Michael Moran had been killed has happily proved to be erroneous. I fear, however, that there can be little reason to doubt that the seventh man, Thomas Burke, was in. fact killed in action, while serving in the United States army. I have requested the United States authorities to communicate to me all the in formation which they can obtain respecting his fate. I regret to say that three of the men represent that they were subjected to hardships and indignities of a most un warrantable kind on their way from the army of the Poto mac to Portland. I have requested that an investigation may be made, and that if the allegations of the men prove to be well founded, no time may be lost in calling to ac count those who are responsible for their ill-treatment. I have also pointed out that I have received nothing more than a formal acknowledgment of my note of the 10th ult., repeating my demand for the discharge of the men, and 1 have reminded Mr Seward that I am waiting for the an swers of the United States Government to that demand. I have moreover addressed to Mr Seward further in quiries respecting James Traynor, the Irish passenger by the Nova Scotian, who was enlisted at Boston.

On the 23d they were sent with victims under guard to Washington, and then transferred to the Old Capitol ; from thence they were sent in irons to Boston, whete they were left handcuffed together all night, but for the purpose of getting sleep they had to break the cuffs. The consequence was that they were marched through Boston tied with ropes, and arrived in Portland, as before stated. They did their utmost to see her Majesty's Ministers in Washington, but tailed, nor could they see you on their arrival, as they were sent under guard to this place.

You were so good as to inform me that you had referred my note to the Secretary of War. I await the answer of the United States Government to the application which it contained. I must in the meantime ask your serious attention to the enclosed copy of a letter addressed to her Majesty's Consul at Portland on behalf of three of the Irishmen; namely, Michael Moran, James Higgins, and Martin Hogan. Ido not doubt that you will cause an investigation to be made of tho allegations re specting the hardships and indignities suffered by Moran, Higgins, and Hogan on their way from the army of the Potomac to Portland—and I trust that if these allegations prove to be well founded, no time will be !lost in calling to account those who are responsible for the ill-treatment of these unfortunate men. These three men appear to be now at Portland. I am informed also that Thomas Tulley is at that place, and that Michael Bryne and Edward Cassidy have been removed from the seat of war.

The statement of the crown prosecutor that the police are justified even in committing a forgery in the exercise of theft- functions, was especially the subject of general remark, and great fears are en tertained that scant justice will be dealt out to the prisoners by a Government which expresses such sentiments through the month of one of its most important legal functionaries. This incident, oc curring at a moment when the Prussian Government openly disregards the wishes of the people, must spread just alarm among the friends of liberty in Prussia, who may now expect to see the slight rem nants of constitutionalism left unassailed by Herr von Bismarck, trodden down by a police placed be yond the pale of the law. The following is an abstract of the proceedings of the sittings in ques tion, commencing on the 25th July : The crown prosecutor opened the proceedings by handing to the court a list of documents relating to the trial, which he submitted should now be read. Herr Holthcff (for the defence) requested to be furnished with a copy of the list, and submitted that, before the documents were read, the counsel for the defence should be heard as to the significance of each document, as it was impossible for the de fence to decide after a single reading of the list what documents it should protest against as inad missible. Herr Mittelstadt (for the prosecution) explained that the list was merely a summary of the evidence that would be produced by the prosecution. Herr Elven (tor the defence) had no objection to the list, provided he were furnished with a copy of it, but strongly protested against the reading of all the documents, which would occupy another month. Not one of the accused had as yet been given an opportunity of defending himself, not a single.wit ness had been called, and he therefore thought that the trial of the accused should now commence, and each document be put in when the occasion arrived for its relevancy to be decided on. Herr Mittelstadt said that the documents must be read as an appendix to the acte d'accnsation, which extended to a period of 18 months, and that as much time would be occupied in reading them singly as each case came on as if they were reed all together. Herr Elven did not object to the time that would be occupied in reading the documents, but to the defence being compelled to listen to partisan litera ture and newspaper articles fabricated in Posen— not in revolutionary committees, but in the offices of the police authorities. Herr Adelung (the crown prosecutor) considered it of the highest importance, both to the prosecution and the accused, that these documents should be read, as they prove whether the undertaking was directed against Prussia, and whether the accused contemplated the re-establishment of the Poland of 1772. After some discussion, in which Messrs. Lewald (for the defence), Adelung, and Braehvogel (for the defence), took part, the President said that the defence would be, given a copy of the motion of the crown prosecutor, upon which a decision would be given to-morrow. The court then rose. July H.—The President began by stating that copies of the list of documents would be provided for the use of the counsel for the defence, but that the court had not yet been able to decide on the motion for reading the documents. He then ordered the police officials of Poson to be brought up for examination respecting the discovery of pap ers at Count Ozialynski's.

Sir—l went over to Camp Berry yesterday afternoon ta see Thomas Tulley, who had not called on me since his first arrival, and he told me that Moran, who I understood had been killed, Hogan and Higgias, had arrived at the camp on the previous day, Tuesday. He brought them out to me, and I had some conversation with them. Moran told me that he had been separated from his regiment during action, and was thus reported killed. Both Higgins and Moran seemed in perfect health, but Hogan appeared deli cate. They all complained of their treatment during part of their journey to Portland, having been placed in irons and lodged in prison. I have requested them to make a written statement of their cases, which I will forward to your lordship. The provost-marshal here says he knows nothing about it, and concludes they must have done some thing wrong to have received this treatment. _ _ Cassidy has not arrived from Boston, and Bryne I have not seen here since his arrival from Cape Fry at Augusta, on a 10 days' furlough, as reported to your lordship in my despatch of the 23d inst.—l have, &c., H.

Talley, at Camp Berry, relating on their behalf, the treatment alleged to have been received by the three Irishmen, Michael Moran, James Higgins, and Martin Hogan, on their journey from the army to Portland, where they were ordered to come in pursuance of a special order, No 194, Washington, Jun e 2. dated at the War Department, This alleged treatment appears so strange and uncalled for that I can only presume there must have been some misunderstanding of their cases upon the part of the mili- tary authorities who forwarded the men on, or that some unacknowledged conduct on their part led to it, The provost-marshal told me to-day that the men arrived from Washington in care of a sergeant, who gave them into his charge, but not as prisoners. The sergeant has returned, and nothing had come to his (Captain Doug,hty'e) knowledge of their alleged ill treatment or of their miscon duct to induce it. The sergeant's name is believed to be Crook, and he belongs to the Veteran Reserve Corps.—l have, &c., (Signed) H. J. Mtirtaker. Inclosure 5. THOMAS TULLEY TO CONSUL MURRAY: Camp Berry, Portland, June 30, 1864. Sir,—l beg most respecthilly to inform you that Michael Moran (reported killed, but still alive), James Higgin s . and Martin Hogan arrived at this camp from the army on the evening of the 28th instant, and I think it right for me to make known to you the treatment they received on their journey. On the receipt of the order from the Secretary.. at-War they were, on the 9th inst., sent from their regiment to the provost marshal's headquarters, who read and kept the order, and then ordered the men to be placed in the Bull Ring, an open space in the fields, surrounded by armed men, wherein are placed prisoners of all grades. On the next day there was a number of armed men going to Wash-- ington, and the above-named sent a note to the provost marshal explaining their position, and requesting to be for warded with them; but the captain of tile guard made answer that they were not going to puff General Partrick with notes. They were consequently transferred from cue Bull Ring to another from the 9th to the 23d jest., when they were well nigh starved, as they had at one time to march three successive days without a mouthful of food, and con sequently were reduced to eating clover and green apples to support nature. They retuonstrated with the authori ties, stating that they were not prisoners, but the invariable answer was, that they could not be assisted otherwise, as in fact there were in the Bull Ring men dying of hunger, and brought-to in hospital afterwards. On an inspection by the doctor, one of your clients being well nigh dead of hunger, was seen by him, and after making inquiries respecting him and the others, he was informed they were not prisoners bat foreigners proceeding to Port land under British protection. The doctor then departed, with apparent disgust, and gave no Desistance ; and from t h e f ee ling of the meu, and their convereatiou of ouch uh- legs. I entered the count's bedroom. I found several papers en the chair near the bed. Under them there was a email seal, with the insarintion, " Committee of the Grand Duchy of Posen." In the same room there was a linen bag, in which was a larger seal. Besides this there was a printed document in the bag, with the names only tilled En. In the left hand corner of the document there was something like "National Government" in thick letters, and retaking to Alex. Guthy. In another bag I found a third seal, with the inscription— " Commissariat of the Grand Duchy of Posen." In another cupboard was foiled a tin chest, with a die stamper, and red paint. On the chair there were several papers which I did not leek through, but which I sealed up. Besides these I found a siver menial of the Virgin, and a quantity of open letters, which I packed up. Count Dzialvnski was present during the search. In tee second room I found a writing table, on which there were papers, which I took, as also a pec! , .:et-boole containing several noticts. Count Dzielynski was prese-at in the room. 03. the right or the writing—tabe there was a large brd, which was not used, and oh it there were several powder-horns. In tire third room there were no more papere, only arms, re volvers, muskets, percussion caps, &e. After r.ll these things had been placed under seal the court was caked for something to put thepap ers in. He then ordered a servant to bring a travellin g in which the papers were laid. The chest was sealed up with the seal of the pollen and that of C ount Lzialynski. I gave him the key, with a request that he Would present himself tit the police-office in half-an-hour, where the chest Was to be opened. I took the chest to Herr von Baerensprung, and told him the Count would come in half an hour. I then, being exhausted, obtained leave for a short time, and when I returned to the office the chest had been opened, and the count bad not appeared. The majority of the napebrys wHeorieththnzert e i : n t h l e ch. Packets had b een entered .op C en r e e d ss t e h x e a office iaed some of the Herr Janechi (for the defence) requested the president to place the pocketbook in the hands of the de an official, and communicate his name to ence. The president agreed, and after the witness h a d stated that he knew the handwriting of Count Dzialynski, from having been present at a revision in his mother's house, and that nearly all the pape rs were not locked up, and those that were immem diately produced by the count, he was dismissed.. The next witness was Charles Valentine Juttn er, from Posen, aged 2G, assistant to the police rezis. tration. Herr Janecki had to make a statement which would affect the credibility of this witness. The defence asserted that in 1858 a sham conspiracy had been got up by the police in Posen, and a cor respondence had consequently taken place between the president of police in Posen and the revolu tionary committee in London. The president of police had ordered a letter to be written to the committee, which had the signatures of various citizens of Posen. These signatures the defence declares to be forgeries, and it also asserts that the witness took part in these acts of forgery, and him self forged one of the signatures to the letter. He therefore requests that the witness may be interro, gated on the subject. After some discussion, the prosecution strongly protesting against the proposal of the defence, The President said to the witness—D3 you. answer this question ? Witness—l cannot answer it. The President—Why not ? Witness (in confusion)—l will not atsvver Herr Janecki—l beg to refer to the evidence of Police-councillor Niodersteter, in whose presence the witness wrote one of the names in question. Here Adelung—lt is said these documents wore forged by the police authorities in Posen. I can not inquire into this matter, but I will discuss the view that the police authorities have been guilty of a grave offence. It is known that there is a reTolu., tiouary league iu the country which had for itFA ob ject the restoration of the fortr.ev king -I .ora. of Poland as a republic. A crime,pgainA Prussia wP.e, there. fore, contemplated If. acting under superior inst:uctionE, have tß.ltcn raeq.surc-s io prevent this crime which are, perhaps, not quite defensible when regarded from a strictly moral point of view, it cannot he 8:..14 that they have ftiilecl in their duty. The poUce have different functions from these of other officials. Their business is to discover offenders; and if through the above corre spondence any one was brought to punishment, it can only be said that this was a lucky hit (ein glacklicher schritt) on the part of the police. The police cannot be so nice (wahlerisch) in the mea• sures they take ; they must meet crime with cue• ning (schlanheit). I submit that this affair should be thus regarded, and a different judgment will then be arrived at in the conduct on this occasion of the police authorities in Posen, Herr Elven thought this a proper opportunity for describing the real facts of the affair. In 1858 a clique of socialists in London sent an address to Posen, which fell into the hands of the Posen police. The Posen authorities determined to publish this proclamation by printing it. This was done in the most deceptive way; hundreds of copies were sent to the authorities, landraths, government prosecn. tore, &c., in Posen, and also to various patriotic Poles in the province. The appeal was, how ever, so absurd that no sensible man responded to it. Failing in this, the President of Police, von Baerensprung, assisted by Police-councillor Nieder. stetter, and Post the translator, drew up an address, the signatures to which were forged —or copied (nachgenzacht), according to the prosecution—by the witness Kettner and others, requesting the London committee to send emissaries to Posen, as that pre, vince would make a good focus for the conspiracy. The committee 'sent Majewski, but no one would listen to him, and at last he was arrested, tried for an attempt to commit high treason, and sentenced to two years imprisonment, Baerensprung declaring to the court he knew nothing about the matter. Such are the proceedings termed by the defence ir) egularities. Herr Mittelatadt said this was the same charge as had been brought by Herr von Niejolewski in the Lower House in 1860. Count Schwerin, the Minis• ter of the Interior, declared on that occasion that the Government could not acknowledge the truth of these charges, and that the matter was one for the consideration of a judicial tribunal. An official inquiry took place, and none of the persons crimi nated were punished ; it is not therefore competent for the present tribunal to revive the question, or to admit that the credibility of th© witnesses is there. by shaken. Herr Elven said that he was now in possession of evidence which was not produced in the Lower House, and which proved the culpability of the et& cials in question beyond a doubt. As for the official inquiry, it was held upon Niederstter alone, wie ci had accepted the whole responsibility. The President here stopped the discussion, o b. serving that the facts above related were contained in the documents before the court. The next witness was Police councillor Robe r t Rose, whose evidence was similar to th at of the two t aged p reced 4 i B n , g pr ; easfitdeern of the Posen police, was called. w hich Edmund von aerensprung, The witness said he was glad of the opportunity of giving the right colour to facts which had brought great discredit upon him. In 185 S he received from his superior s in office a pri nte d d ocument o f t h e Revolutionary Society , with i ns t ru ctions t o and object s o f th e s ociety, and whether London discover anythingthe nature wa to be feared for Posen from its machinations. 71‘1-I;.4o:leir h av i ng b een sen t tod these instructions, and en emissary , POEM by the soci e ty 'ee was arrested and irnerisoned. The document question exhorted the Pules to throw off the yoke o f Russia. The President—lt is known that letters were wri?terl by your direction to the Revolutionary Seciety in London, in order to enter into closer re. lations with it. The Witness—l consider that lam not obliged to speak of the means I adopted to get information; my official duties forbid it. The President—You will say nothing on this point ? The Witness—l consider lam not obliged to answer. The witness then gave evidence respecting the revision in the house of Count Dzialynski, and after a sharp cross-examination, in which the witness refused to answer most of the questions put to him, the court decided that his past conduct was not to be received as evidence ogainat his credibility in the present matter. Tee sitting was then clued. ces" r 4r lace: b o w. Nara 4O 46 0 27° 421 01. vn• 01. 4ri•
