The accounts from Affghanistan and China are
highly interesting. General Nott left Candahar for
Ghuznee and Caubul on the 10th of August with
8,000 men in arms, among them two perfect and
healthy European regiments, and two troops of Horse
Artillery, besides cavalry enough (1,200) for his pur-
pose. - Six Sepoy regiments which are with him are
the tried brigades which fought through last winter
and spring under Wymer, Stacy, and MacLaren, and
are all burning with impatience to meet the enemy in
any field. General England's retreat from Can-
dahar to Quettah has been conducted with

Regiments Foot, the 26th, 33d, 35th, and 60th Native
