LONDON, Dec. 20.--A dispatch
from Bombay says: 1t was report
ed Yesterday that Gen. Cough
would probably retire upon Pelze-
rau, three miles wsst of Surkub
river, but it is now believed he
will remain at Jagdaluk, and
SHORTLY clear away the Ghilzois in
his front.
General Arbuthnots brigade is
distributed along the road between
Gundamuk and Jagdalluk. Con-
trary to expectation, the tribes be-
low Jellaiabad continue quiet.
Had General Bright advanced with
his whole force, doubtless the
Mobmunds and Afreedis would
have risen, but the system
of forwarding troops from Jel-
lalabad only as reinforce
ments arrived from Peshawur
affords them no opening. Great
efforts are making for speedy con-
eentration at Peshawur. Many ma
tive princes have rendered their as
sistance. Gen. Roberts's state
ments of his ability to hold his po.
sition and take the offensive on a
favorable opportunity have been SO
positiye that the anxiety at first
felt on behalf OF the garrison In the
Shjrpur Cantonments is much
abated.
