AFFAIRS IN IEDIA.-T he proceedings of
the British armies in the neighborhood of
Cabul have been eminently successful
The whole ofthe British prisoners have been
liberated from the hands of the Affghans.-
The meeting between the veteran General
Sale and his wife and daughter is described
as highly affecting. On the arrival of Gen
eral Motifs division at Cabul, the resolution
adopted by the British Government to de-
stroy all the afghan strong holds was car
ried into execution. The expedition after
the destruction of Chareekar, was expected
to return Immediately to Cabul. The noto-
rious Akhbar Khan was a wanderer IN Ko-
histan. On learning that all the prisoners,
save Captain Bygrave, whom he had in i'm
mediate attendance upon himself, had been
surrendered to the British authorities, he
came to the resolution to send in that officer
also. One of the duties performed by the
British was the intrement of the skeletons of
those who had fallen dnring the fatal retreat
of January last. The number did not ex-
eeed four hundred to FIVE hundred tits fur
Their stated, that very many of the native
soldiers, and of the Hlndoos who had ac-
companied the troops during the fatal re-
treat, have come into the British CANTON
mentS.
FRANcE.-The report of the occupation
ofthe islands of the Marquesas by the French
Government, continues to be the leading
topic in the original columns of the Paris
journals. The Quotidienne and the Nation
al, are of opinion that the motive for this
measure is not one which will do honor to
the French Government. They both think
that it is intended to create colony for the
transportation of political offenders, and ac-
/ cording to the National, the object is to re-
move those persons from the reach of public
sympathy by preventing their complaints
from reaching the public ear.
THE IsrHMUs OF PANAMA.-The Prose-
says, the full importance of the Marquesas
will not be understood until the day CON es
when the lsthmus of Panama shall be cut
through, and thus free passage be opened
for the commerce of Europe. The POSSIBLE
ity CT making a way through the Isthmus of
Panama, is no longer predetermined. Sur
veys of the ground have been made by able
engineers, and it is ascertained that a wide
canal may be cut across at an expense not
exceeding twelve million rubles At this We
ry time, if we are well informed, anew COM
pany is being organized in London, under
the auspices of Jur. Barring, for carrying into
execution this important project. Lei, there
