The Following extract from the Calcutta Government
Comae, of the 3d of July, throws considerable light on the state of
affairs in the north-western frontiers of India, and on the views of
our warlike neighbour Lahore. Rummer SOM. " The native
papers leave no doubt that the Punjab is again the sathe of military
operations, and that MINIM Surat has resumed his ;impose
of attempting to extend his dominions at the expense of the
Afghans. The distracted state of that count,/ is highly favour-
able to his views. The rival Kings, Mmtuoms and Suusa, are
equally fugitives ; the former, with hie son Lamas, being in
considerable force at Herat, and the latter living privately
within the British territory, or at least till lately. The country
is divided between the sous of FAWN ILYA; who are always
at variance with each other, and who have no hereditary nor
personal claim to the allegiance of the Afghan tribes. At the same
time, religious differences, and a spirit of independence, are likely
to animate the Afghans against the Sikhs, and may supply the place
of a legitimate and consolidated Government. Possibly Bnara's
recent departure from Ludhiana. if correctly reported, may have
been she work of Smarr nowt, whose pulley it obviously is to
offer to the Afghans a King whom they have obeyed, sad to whom
they were as much attached as their capricious and lawless character
permitted them to be to any Baler. For reinstating him in part of
his possessions, the Easters portion, or Peshawer, and its depen.
dencies,pay be the price; and they will be mere easily purchased,
we aboard think, in this manner, than by hostile collision With the
whole body of the Afghans."
