t,r,l'ower to give expression to opinions in the fullest
,e;&,,of their veracity and justness. Tons the discus-
,,,bn 1 a Political qUestion is precisely what it is in its
~. straet merits, without reference to any possible ex-.
"IleQtts influence ; and in weighing the subject of

the destinies of this country in the aggregate, or in
any of their multiform bearings, the standard to
which we invariably defer is the kingdom at large,
and the evil or good likely to be warded from, or re-
sult to it. In several instances the truthfulness of our
decisions has been made manifest. On the subject of
the war with China, on that of countervening the in-
trigues and stratagems of Russia, even to the verge
of Central Asia, we have had the gratification of
observing that the realisation of our views has been
attended with the good we contemplated ; and our ad-
vocacy of those views was under circumstances when
the natural champions of Lord Auckland's policy fal-
tered in its full espousal, and when its party adversa-
ries, viz., the Times, the Herald, and the Post, were as
fierce in their opposition to it, as the fatal scenes of
the Bala-Hissar might seem to render politic, how-
ever inherently unjustifiable. In fact, it gives us
pleasure to retrace our own stern and undeviating
consistency, amidst the lights and shadows giving an
alternation of hue to the opinions in vogue around us,
and we confess it was not without an irrepressible
smile of sarcasm that, on the announcement of the
all-important recent events in the East, we turned to
the columns of those journals whose cry for so many
months had been the iniquity of Affghan invasion,
and the optum trade. to witness in what their satis-
faction could consist, or in what way they could con-
gratulate the nation upon its great successes.
MONEY-TILADS-COMIVIERCE.
At Bradford, Huddersfield, and Leeds, the markets
have been dull and unfavourable, and at Rochdale
there has been very little change. At Halifax and
Oldham there has been an improved demand, and at
Manchester a steady business.
A new Corn-Exchange was opened on Wednesday
last at Glasgow ; the building originated with parties
connected With the corn-trade, who erected it by sub-

spacious, with thirty-six stalls for the merchants, and
a large grain-store beneath, capable of containing
nearly 800 tons of grain.

in large octavo, in one volume. The King of Prussia
has subscribed for 6,000 copies, with the view of

EVACUATION' OF
AFFGHANISTAN. .

GOVERNMENT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY.
(PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY.)
PROCLAMATION.
Secret Department, Simla, Oct. 1, 1842.
The Government of India directed its army to
pass the Indus in order to expel from Affgha-
nistan a Chief believed to be hostile to British
interests, and to replace upon his throne a Sove-
reign represented to be friendly to those interests,
and popular with his former subjects.
The Chief believed to be hostile became a pri-
soner, and the Sovereign represented to be
popular was replaced upon his throne ; but, after
events which brought into question his fidelity
to the Government by which he was restored,
he lost by the hands of an assassin the throne he
had only held amidst insurrections, and his
death was preceded and followed by still existing
anarchy.
Disasters unparalleled in their extent, unless
by the errors in which they originated, and by
the treachery by which they were completed,
have in one short campaign been avenged upon
every scene of past misfortune ; and repeated
victories in the field, and the capture of the cities
and citadels of Ghumee and Caubul have again
attacheil the opinion of invincibility to the Bri-
tish arms..
The British army in possession of Affghanistan
will now he withdrawn to the Sutlej.
The Governor-General will leave it to the Af-
ghans themselves to create a Government amidst
the anarchy which is the consequence of their
crimes.

To force a Sovereign upon a reluctant people
would be as inconsistent with the policy as it is
with the principles of the .British Government,
tending to place the arms and resources of that
people at the disposal of the first invader, and
to impose the burden of supporting a Sovereign
without the prospect of benefit from his alliance.
The Governor-General will 'willingly recognise
any Government approved by the Affghans
thernselves, which shall appear desirous and
capable of maintaining friendly relations with
neighbouring States.
Content with the limits nature appears to have
assigned to its empire, the GovernMent of India
will devote all its efforts to the establishment and
maintenance of general peace, to the protection
of the Sovereigns and Chiefs its allies, and to
the prosperity and happiness of its own faithful
subjects.

The rivers of the Punjaub and the Indus, and
the mountainous passes and the barbarous tribes
of Affghanistan, will be placed between the Bri-
tish army and an enemy approaching from the
west, if indeed such an enemy there can be, and
no longer between the army and its supplies.
The enormous expenditure required for the
support of a large force, in a false military posi-
tion, at a distance from its own frontier and t,
resources, will no longer arrest every r.neasure
for the improvement of the c9uPfra; and of the
people.
The combined arm. -s
superior in of England and of India,
eastfriment, in discipline, in valour,
and tti tte officers by whom it is commanded, to
any force which can be opposed to it in Asia,
will stand in unassailable strength upon its own
soil, and for ever, under the blessing of Provi-
dence, preserve the glorious empire it has won,
in security and in honour.
The Governor-General cannot fear the mis-
construction of his motives in thus frankly an-
nouncing to surrounding States the pacific and
conservative policy of his Government.
Affghanistan and China have seen at once the
forces at his disposal, and the effect with which
they can be applied.
Sincerely attached to peace for the sake of the
benefits it confers upon the people, the Governor-
General is resolved that peace shall be observed,
and will put forth the whole power of the British
Government to coerce the State by which itshall
be infringed.
By order of the Right Hon. the Governor-
General of India,
T. IL MADDOCK,
Secretary to the Government of India with
the Governor-General.
