We hear that the Government of Bombay has

med and the Heratees. Nothing definite is known,

and brother from Subzwar to Herat, intending if

Furrah falls to hold only Herat in strength. Sir-
dars Mahomed Ameen Khan and Mahomed Shereef
Khan expected to be before Furrah by the 7th or
Bth of June,

On the sth June the Ameer's camp had reached
Bagh Muzeer, four marches from Candahar. Sirdar
Shere Allee Khan, tile heir apparent, had gone on
to the river Helmund to push across the troops.
The Heratees had evacuated the fort of Kush. The
people of the Furrah had refused supplies to the
garrison, and had sent messages to the Ameer's
troops to hasten on to their relief.
The rumours recently circulated by the North-
'West papers, as to the probability of a rising in
Oude, are without foundation.
