LONDON, December PA special from
Jellalabad, dated 20th, says: Major Cavag-
mari to-day received an important COM
munication from the Ameer, the contents
Of which have not been made public.
A dispatch from Lahore reports that
Yakoub Khan has been proclaimed by the
Chiefs ofone OF the great Afghan sections.
The opinion is divided as to his future
course, but the detection OF the Ameer's
troops, who, at Jellalabad, even joined the
British, will probably compel him TO ac-
cept the terms II coupled with guarantee
against his father and the Russians. This
might obviate even a temporary occupa-
tion OF Cabul by tho British troops.
