Since the fall Of Herat into the hands
OF the Psrs ans and their nominee and
creature, Prince Yusaf, OF which l gave
you in my last such details as had then
reached us, intelligence from over the
bo.der has kribbed in but scantiiy, and
for tbs mos, part irom sources that rem
der i, less easily verified than usual. II
bears upon it, however, no stamp nj I'M
probability, either in regard to the appre.
hsnsiops Of Dost Mahomed, the fsroci,y
Of the victorious party at Herat in its hour
of triumph, or the subsequent quarrels OF
its leaders among themselves. You may
rscoIlect it being stated that upon the oc-
cupa,ion of the CITY by the Persian troops,
the life of the deposed Ch.et Mahomed
Sadil Khan was spared, and thu, he aud
hi. principal adherents were treated with
respect and consideration. Indeed, for
an Oriental revolution, it appeared to be
a singularly bloodlcss one. This state
Of things we are now told, did not long
continue. Mahomed Sadik was put TO
death, together with the sole exception OF
one woman, spared for the sake of her
wealth, to produce which, she was tortur-
ed by the mos. approved and recondte
methods.
A latter report mentions that quarrel
had taken place between Prince Yusuf
and one of his followers, in the course OF
which the former was severely if no.
mortally wounded.
| AT Cabul and Candahar, the occupa-
ton of the frontier town Of Herat by one
OF the cxiled royal race Of the Suddozycs
with the support of Persia, appears to
have laid asleep the jeaousles of the
Baruckzye biolhers. Relinquishing, or
postponing his own views on Candahar
Dos. Mahomed wrote urgently 10 his sur
vlying brothers Of tha, place, en.reaung
them to join him in sinking lis family
disputes, and in forming powerful op-
! position TO their common enemy. The
Candahar chiefs assen,ed to their broth
er's proposal, aud proceeded to call to-
gelher the clans OF their territory. The
Ameer did the same, and it is said tha,
the whole fcrce, if united and i)ined BY
Hyder khan's troops at Balkh, 10 ,000
strong, would amount to some 10000
men with 50 guns. An advance upon
Herat is not apprehended, but rather
such demonstrate n in force as shall de.
ter Persia from taking aggressive meas.
ures, in the event Of such being eon.em.
plated.
Whether any application for aid has
been forwarded by the Ameer to his Bri.
,ish Allies, or whether the application, il
made, is likely 10 be iayorably received
I have at presen. no information. There
has been, as was natural, some revival O
the reports touching the dispatch OF ,
force to the Persian Gulf. These, nt
doubt, are premature, bat l have gooc
reason to believe tha, tie papers con
nec,ed With the last petition have beer
