FUZITAC OPINION.
The Post thus alludes to the announced retiremell,
of the British troops from Affghanistan :-••••-" The re;'''
cent news from Affghanistan of the complete succesg"
of the armies which had been ordered to advance upor.!7.e
Ghuznee and Caubul, was most gratifying to us, and
not the less so, that it was far better news than we
expected to receive from that quarter. We are bound
in candour to confess that it did not seem to us jog',
bable that our troops could have advanced so rapidly.
and so triumphantly, nor that Akbar Khan would
have left it in our power to profit by the re-taking ~
Caubul to the extent of recovering the

and skilful officers have achieved e soldiers
