manded special credit to defray the ex-
pense of the honors done the Russian en-
bassy, ana has explained the cordial recep-

RUSSIA AND ENGLAND.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-The official correspond
ence between England and Russia relative to
Central Asia is published. M. Voulsiere,
assistant minister of foreign affairs, July g.
1873, informed Lord Augustus Lotus, Brit
ISL ambassador at St. Petersburg, that
neither the Russian government nor Gen.
Kaufman had ever sent or intended to send
a representative to Cabul. He subsequently
said it was possible Gen. Kaufman might
have sent letter, and he gave assurance of
a stoppage of all military and political pie
cautions which were taken against En-
gland when her relations with Russia
were strained. On Aug. 10, Lord Salisbury
being informed of the approach of Russian
troops to the frontier of Afghanistan and of
the reception of Russian mission by the
ameer, expressed the hope that the mission
be Immediately recalled. Russia, in the
course of communication at St. Petersburg,
declared the minister of foreign affairs was
ignorant of the mission, which had been
sent by Gen. Kaufman onhis own response
bility. England replied that even i; so the
minister of foreign affairs was responsible
M. Voulsiere writes under date of Sept.
9th that Russian dispositions in Central
Asia had been affected by the relations be-
tween England and Russia during the late
Eastern crisis, but those dispositions are
now the same as formerly, and not of ma
| ture to excite the suspicious of England.
The mission to Cabul was merely a provis-
ional one of courtesy. The Russian repre-
sentative at London explained that there had
| never been any question of the car sending
letter to the ameer. Lord Salisbury writes
to Lord Cranbrook, Sept. Goth, that he infers
| that NJ. Foulsiere acknowledges that all
| former Russian assurances in regard to
| Afghanistan have recovered their validity.
The correspondence also contains dispatch
from Lord Derby dated June 18th, 1877,
! warning Russia that an advance to Menu
would entail corresponding advance on the
| part Of Great Britain.
