| ADVANCE ORDERED.
LosDoS, Nov. 20.-This mornings STANDARD
announces that no reply to the British ultima
tum has been received from the Ameer of AT.
ghanistan, and orders have accordingly been
sent to India for the troops to advance.
THE ENHANCEMENT AND ULTIMATUM.
LONDON, Nov. 20.-The government has pub
lished long dispatch from Lord Cranbrook,
secretary of state for India, to Lord Lyttop,
viceroy of India, recapitulating the negotia-
tions with Afghanistan. The dispatch traces
| the first estcangement between England and
the Amer of Afghanistan to the refusal of
the Gladstone government in 1873 to give def
mite answer as to how far they would help him
| if he was threatened by Russia. The dispatch
points out that the accession of the
present government the relations Of England
with Afghanistan had to be considered with
reference to the rapid march of events in
Iurkestan. Consequently, when Lord Lytton
amecr the protection he previously solicited,
namely, substantial pecuniary aid, recognition
of his dynasty, and a pledge Of material sup
port against unproyoked foreign aggression,
conditionally upon the ameer allowing
the British government to have access
to positions in his territory except
Cabul, where they could acquire trustworthy
tranquility and independence of Afghanistan.
Such access necessary, Il substantial
proof of the unity of the amcer's interests with
those of Great Britain. The dispatch then mar
rates the absolute ending of the missions of
Col. Sir Lewis Policy and Gen. Sir Neville
Chamberlain, which were undertaken in pres
ence of these Instructions and shows that the
latter was suggested by Lord Lytton, who said
that after the ostentatous reception
of the Russian mission the policy of inaction
was no longer tenable, and that the refusal of
the ameer to receive the British mission was
improbable aud would be inexcuaable. The
dispatch concludes by stating the terms of the
ultimatum namely, o. full and suitable apology
within given time, with the reception Of a
permanent British mission and amnesty to
tribes who escorted the British ENJOYS.
The Standard adds: Tho cabinet council
which was held yesterday adjourned, after a
protracted sitting until to morrow, but the de-
cision arrived at dispels all doubt. We are con-
sequently engaged in a war with Afghanistan,
which has been forced upon us by Russian in
triguo and the evil effects Of our past political
policy.
A Lahone dispatch says the government was
preparing proclamation which WAS to be is
sued Wednesday yesterday showing that Wig
orOus measures were unavoidable.
A dispatch from Thull says it is reported
that the garrison OF the first fortress in Khurum
valley is prepared to capitulate when sum
moned. The column Is in splendid spirits and
eager for the advance.
The Post, 10 its leading editorial, says:
"When it became evident some days ago that
the ameer intended to perscvere in his disdain-
full reticence, the frontier commanders received
orders to be in readiness to commence opera
tions this morning. The simple duty of yes
terday's cabinet council was to learn whether
any change in the arneer's attitude would
necessitate alteration in these instructions.
AS the ameer has sent no reply, 1t only re-
NAMED for troops to execute the original
orders. The advance has probably begun.
The Times, in it's leader. Gays: The ultima
tum has been refused. The sult, we believe,
is, that the issue has now been left in Lord
Lytton's hands, We may expect to hear in
few hours what action he intends to take. He
will probably occupy Khyber and Khurum
passes, and make some advance with the
Guettah column.
TROorS MOVING.
LONDON, Nov. GA dispatch dated Pesh-
aver. Nov. 20, says: Travelling from Thull
yesterday passed the Khurum force advanc-
ing. Thirty miles Of road was covered with
troops elephants camels and cattle. The
Peshawer force is marching on Jumrood. Tho
amcer is again spreading report that the Rus
SLAMS will defend Candahar.
pRUssIAN DEFICIT.
LONDON Nov. Goat the opening of the
Prussian parliament yesterday the vice chan
cellor said the government relied upon the CO.
operation of the chambers for the removal Of
financial difficulties. Last years surplus will
be almost entirely required to cover the increas-
ing contributions of Prussia towards the Ger
man exchequer. The interest on the public
debt will likewise be considerably increased,
and there are other unavoidable expenses. I'm
less portant interests to be neglected, re-
trenchmcnt will be almost jmpossi ble. The
influx of large sums from extraordinary sources
has ceased, while the ordinary and regular
| revenue, suffering from long-continued depres-
sion of trade, does not allow us tn count
upon any sensible addition TO the previous
figures. The revenue is insufficient to cover
the ordinary and regular expenditure of the
State. Means required to amend this state of
things will be found in taxes and imposts
| handed over to the German excheauer. Mean
while tue current expenditure will have to be
partly betrayed by loans. The deficit is said to
exceed 10000, 600 marks. But for the last OF
the French indemnity being distributed in 1876
the deficit would have occurred year ago. 1t
is mainly occasioned by the steady increase of
| military expenditures, accompanied by decrease
of Indirect taxes and the proceeds from govern
ment railways, mines and forests. The exact
| figures of the deficit are still unknown but the
result strangely contrasts with the gratifying
aspect Of the Prussian budget for so many
years past.
