From the London Times, June L.
The news from India. which were enabled to
communicate exclusively TO readers in a second
edition, Is OF d mixed complexion
On the one hand, i lssald that General Pollock is
now in possession OF the Khyberpass and the forts
conmlnuin, II; on The other we lament 10 add
Ghuznee las AZ last fallen, the garrison have
rendered Oh condition that they should be safely
conducted 10 Cabu-a condition which may or
may not be performed, accordingly as Akhbar Khan
and his followers happen al that moment TO be sa,

or enraged by the ill-success which has attended
them in anotherquarter.
The news is sad, but hardly discouragmg 1t
could scarcely be expected that garrison Oh one
regiment a nd that not British could hold out even the
almost impregnable Ghuznee, against the persever-
ing attacks of a warke and enthusiastic nation.
Still less had we a right 10 be very sanguine OF the
result. from theimperfect Information winch reached
us as 10 the means OF subsistence which this scany
garrison had AT lis command.
We shall wait with much anxiety to hear whether
these unfortunate men are really TO arrive safe at
their promised destination, or whether dis

II is to this OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES formidable
than the matchlocks OF the AHghans, that the GhuZ-
nee garrison were probably compelled to yield. And
we may pretty confidently assume that this capitula-
ton-virtualy unconditional as IT is-was not
tered upon till compelled by absolute necessity
Meantime, this fresh disaster leaves US with the
task OF recaetsrlng this important fortress-no
slight matter, indeed, IN itself, but which we may
safely leave TO the energy and discipline of our
roops-and, which is more important, places in the
hands of the Aiighans additional supply of hos
tages, to be used by them, doubtless in their own
barbarous way, as check upon our further move
