GENERAL FOREIGN.
THE LAST OF THE AMEERs.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The IOSt, com mentlng
upon Yakoob Khan's departure from Cabul for
Peshawar says this news is of great significance.
1t probably means that Afghanistan has proba-
bly, seen the last of its ameers. 1t also points
to the restraint, if not actual punishment, be-
ing in store for Yakoob for his carelessness, if
not connivance. in the massacre of the embassy.
The exact part he played may never be known.
The commission of inquiry are reported to have
found it absolutely impossible to obtain cyl
dence that would justify conviction for the
major offense, but there is more than enough
to establish Yakoob's weakness and culpable
negligence.
THE PoPE's AVAILABILITY.
A dispatch from Persia says the arch bishop
of Mechlin, Belgium, in a recent pastoral, as
serts the pope is not infallible except when he
judges questions which rest on testimony of
God and that of his revealed truth revealed
law This is intended to rebuff the charge that
Belgian bishops are guilty of schism or DISC
bedience in disregarding the Pope's admo-
nitions respecting educational agitation. The
bishop of Tourney, the most violent opponent
of the liberal cabinet, has been superseded by
the administrator appointed by the Pope. The
bishops mind is believed to be unsound.
GOVERNMENTAL REFORM IN RUSSIA
LONDON, Dec. IA Berlin dispatch says the
Gear will inform the nobility of Moscow at the
reception to-day of his determination to call q
number of unofficial advisers to assist him in
the government of the empire. The council
will be purely deliberative, without any right
of control interference, and will be chosen
partly by the suffrages of the middle and peas
ant classes and partly by direct nomination by
the Gear from the ranks of the hereditary no
bility. Other measures of local reform will
also be announced. These innovations have
been strongly advocated by the Czarowitch.
THE FRENCH MINISTRY CRISIS.
LONDON, Dec. IA correspondent at Paris,
discussing the statement of the Journal des
Debates, that the ministry cannot possibly en-
terrain the scheme for framing programme
for their acceptance. says this is the only pos
sible course open to the cabinet after the I'M
expected attitude assumed by the majority.
Nobody will be able to comprehend how q ma
jority 50 strong as that of the present chamber
of deputies on which the government has been
leaning for-ten months can declare that it will
not support this very cabinet except on the
condition of framing programme and impos-
ing this on it, for every individual deputy has
the right of submitting any bill and interpella-
tons followed by the order of day devised only
withdrawal of its confidence. Discussing the
probable vote of confidence which will end the
crisis by consolidating the ministry, the cor
respondent says: 1T seems beyond doubt
the vote will be given because the Left is not
acting in common accord with certain factions
of the majority, will resist the fall of the cab
met, and will force the majority next to upset
the ministry which Gambetta does not wish to
succeed, and whose only successor, apart from
Gambetta, would be DeFreyunet, and this
would always enable Gambetta to wait his own
time.
