FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Standard of Saturday.)

WAR WITH THE RUSSIANS,

As we are going to press we are favoured by the Proprietor
of the United Service Gazette with the following most im-
portant information—one of many favours from the same
kind friend, which we have to acknowledge with gratitude
(From the United Service Gazette of this day.)
The following intelligence, which we have received this
morning (exclusively, we believe,) from India, is of the
highest importance: .30,000 men have taken the field against
the Russians, who are marching against Cabool-25,000 men
from Bengal, and 5000 from Bombay. Our troops are to
take possession of Herat; Cabool,. and Candahar. A treaty
has been entered into between .the Governor-General and
Runjeet Singh.
"The following troops were under orders for this service,
according to the Delhi Gazette of 15th August, Agra Ukbar
18th August, and Bombay Gazette of Sept. 1 :
« Two troops of Horse Artillery-.
" Major Pew's Camel Battery.
"Two Companies of European, Foot Artillery.
"Two Companies of Sappers.
" Her Majesty's 16th Lancers..
"Second, Third, and Fourth Regiments of Bengal Light

Cavalry. •
" Her Majesty's. Third Regiment of Foot. .
" Her Majesty's 13th Regiment of Foot.
" Honourable'East India Company's European ltegiment.
"2d, sth, 16th, 17th, 27th, 28th, 31st, 35th, 37th, 42d,
43d, 48th, and 53d Regiments of Bengal Native Infantry.
'' This force is to assemble at Kurnaul on the 31st of Octo-
ber, and thence proceed via Bhutuer, Bhawnlpore, and
Mithenkate, to Candahar, Caboul, and Herat."
The mail brought by this conveyance cannot be expected
in London until Tuesday, the 13th November, by the Iberia
steamer, in consequence of the damage to the Royal Tar
steamer. The mail via Marseilles may be expected in Lon-
don on Monday morning. The mails from India, com-
mencing 27th September, 1837, up to, and including, 4th
June, 1838, have avera e 64 days in their transit via Mar-
seilles, and 61 days via uth.
(From the Binn y Ga:ette, Sept. 12.)
Captain Wade, political agent, returned to Louisiana on
the 23d August, from Lahore, where he had settled everything
to his satisfaction with Runjeet Singh respecting the opera-
tions of the approaching campaign; only 5000 of our troops
will be pushed on into Candahar and Cabul, with the forces
of Shah Soojah, to assist in reseating the ex-king upon the
guddee. With regard to the advance of the Russians upon
Khiva, we may say that this circumstance was firmly believed
at Delhi, though not officially known, and that it was gene-
rally believed that this advance accounted for the non-ad-
vance of the Usbecka to the relief of Herat. Shah Soojah's
force is to consist of five battalions of regular infantry, each
800 strong, and two regiments of irregular horse, with guns
attached; each corps is to have a captain and one subaltern.
Upwards of 600 men have already been enlisted at Loodenah,
besides others who have been enlisted at the different stations
in Upper India. One of the corps of irregular horse is to be
raised by Lieut. Nicholson at Delhi, where Captain Macau
is now enlisting men for the infantry. Captain Anderson,
it is said, is to have the command of one of the corps of irre-
gular horse. Captain Wade, political agent, passed through
Loodeanah on the 15th of August, fur Lahore, for the pur-
pose of presenting the treaty which hail been signed by the
Governor General to Runjeet Singl.: the gallant captain
was expected back to Loodeanah by the 20th or 21st of
August.
