We copy from the Calcutta Government Gazette
of June 5, the following official despatch from the
British Envoy a►►d Minister at the Court of Shah
Shoojah-001-Moolk, addressed to the Secretary to
the Govirranent of India with the Governor-Gene-
! ral. " Although a little flattering to the Shah and
our Government," alleges an Indian Contemporary,
" it is nevertheless a satisfactory document, con-
firming all the news already published respecting
the conduct of the Baraksye Chiefs, and the en-
trance of the British army into Candahar
OFFICIAL DESPATCH.
POLITICAL DEPARTMENT, FORT WILT TAM,
3D JUNE, 1839.—The following official despatch
from the Envoy and Minister at the Court of Shah
Shooja-001-Mooik, dated the 24th of April last, is
published for general information :
(Copy.)
TO T. H. AIADDOCK, ESQ.
Office of the Secretary to the Government of
India, with the Governor-General.
SIR—In my letter to your address of the 1241
instant, I ventured to record an opinion to time
effect, that the lapse of a few days would suffice to
show the high estimation in which his Majesty
Shah Shoojah-001-Moolk is held by his country-
men, as well as the wisdom of the policy pursued
by the British Government, throughout the whole
of the proceedings in which we are now engaged.
2. Yesterday the Shah, with his disciplined
troops, made a march of 22 miles to lleh Hadgee,
where we had the satisfaction of learning that the
Sirdars were about to decamp. We have since
ascertained that they actually set out about three
o'clock yesterday evening, attended by about 200
followers. Their conduct to the last was marked
by meanness and rapacity. Whilst with one hand
they were selling their stores of grain to the
merchants of the city, with the other they were
practising every species of extortion and violence
towards the peaceable inhabitants, and they de-
parted amidst the execrations of all classes.
3. This morning we marched upon Candahar,
a distance of about 18 miles, and we are now
encamped within two miles of the city. The
spectacle which presented itself to us on the road,
was the most interesting one it ever fell to my lot
to witness. His Excellency Lieut.-General Sir
John Keane, with the army of the Indus, was
one march in our rear, our advance haring been
made on an erroneous calculation of the distance,
which, owing to the heat of the weather, was
too great to be performed by the European
troops. The Shah's disciplined troops were be-
hind us, and his Majesty advanced, attended only
by the officers of the mission and his own imme-
diate retainers. At every hundred yards of our
progress, we were met by bands of well mounted
and well armed men, all tendering their allegiance
to his Majesty, whilst the peaceable inhabitants of
the country assembled in crowds, and manifested
their joy at the Shah's restoration in the most un-
qualified terms.
4. Tranquillity is restored—the people flock, to
our Camp with the greatest confidence. There is
no longer any apprehension of scarcity, and even
the confidential servants of the Sirdars, several of
whom have visited me, declare their satisfaction at
the change of Government, and state that they
would sooner have joined the Shah, but for the
dread, that some evil would have been inflicted on
their families, whom they must have left in the
City.

5. His Majesty proposed to send out a party in
the hope of overtaking the fugitive Sirdars, and
they certainly appear deserving of little considera-
tion after the wickedness and folly which they have
displayed, in spite of repeated and solemn warnings.
It doubtless would be dangerous to allow them to
remain at large, and excite disturbances in the
country; but I was apprehensive that, in the pre-
sent excited state of men's minds, they might, if
seized by the Shah's party, be subjected to unne+
cessary cruelty ; I therefore prevailed upon his Ma-
jesty to permit me to make the Sirdars one more
offer, which, if accepted, will enable them to retire
to our territories in safety. Any provision which
his Lordship the Governor-General may please to
assign to them will, of course, fall far short of what
they would have received had they at once come
into our terms, and I am of opinion that five hun-
dred rupees per mensem for each of them would be
an ample provision.
6. It is my intention, therefore, to write to
the Sirdars through Moollah Nussoo, their con-
fidential adviser, and I am not without hope that
they will come into my terms, deserted as they are
by nearly all the followers who left the city with
them, and surrounded as they must be by dangers,
and difficulties of every description.
7. I now proceed to detail the progress of
events from the date of my last communication.
8. Since the dispatch of my letter to your ad-
dress, dated the 12th instant, giving the substance
of my communicatims with the Sirdars, nothing
of sufficient importance occurred to require a sepa-
rate report.
9. In the Kajak Pass we found a natural ob-
stacle of a much more formidable nature than we
anticipated, but it was speedily surmounted by the
energy of the British troops. Brigadier A mold,
who went to reconnoitre the Pass, suddenly came
upon a small party detached by the Sirdars, and
was fired upon. The party, however, made a pre-
cipitate retreat, and it was evident that the. Sirdars
had been surprised by the rapidity of our advance.
10. In the same Pass letters were intercepted
from the Sirdars, addressed to the authorities in
Sevee and the Eastern Provinces, stating that they
intended to advance and oppose us in Pesheen, and
calling upon all true INlalioinedans to join in a
religious warfare against the invading infidels. We
further learnt that the Sirdars were still unremitting
in their endeavours to excite the same feelings of
animosity against us at Candahar.

11. It subsequently came to our knowledge that
Rahim Dii Khan, and Mehr Dil Khan, with a
number of other Chiefs, and a body of between
two and three thousand cavalry, had quitted Can-
dahar with a view of annoying us in every possible
way, leaving Kohun Dil Khan to guard their in-
terests in the City. The main body advanced as
far as Killa Futtoollah, whence they detached
parties to the vicinity of Dunda Goolam. These
parties succeeded in killing several of our fol-
lowers who had incautiously strayed, and in carry-
ing off two of my elephants which had been,
against orders, taken for the purpose of procuring
fodder to too great a distance from the camp. They
also put us to considerable inconvenience for a short
time by diverting the stream which supplied our
camp with water.

12. On the morning of the 20th instant Hajee
Khan Kakur, who had accompanied the Sirdars
from Candahar, and who is decidedly the most
powerful chief in these parts, reported his arrival,
with about 200 horsemen, to pay his respects to the
Shah. He was escorted into Camp, and received
with all honour, both by his Majesty and myself.
This defection, it was obvious would at once prove
fatal to the hopes of the Sirdars.
13. On the same day
two other persons of consi-
derable influence came in, namely, Abdool Mujeed
P ukshnsunnndd
za da
Khan,
,a Moolah, Governor
ofK haLna,sthh,e
asnodn ofG ISlnliiaamh
Akhoondzada,
who, I have good grounds for believing was one of
those who were most violentin staring up the popu-
lation to oppose us.
14. The secession of these individuals, and the
near approach of our troops, filled the Sirdars with
consternation, and they fell back rapidly upon
Candahar.

- 15. The ancient nobles of the land have been
nearly exterminated by the rapacious tyranny of the
Baraksye usurpers ; hut it was gratifying to find
that the advent of the Shah was cordially welcomed
in every stage of his progress by every man of re-
spectability who has been left in the country, and
his Majesty's reception at Candahar, as above de-
tailed, has fully justified the opinions that have been
pronounced, as to his popularity with all classes of
his subjects.

16. I shall report further proceedings in the
course of to-morrow.

I have, &c.,
(Sigred) W. H. MACNAGHTEN,
Envoy and Minister.
Camp at Candahar, the 24th April, 1839.
