the author of therecent pamphlet on conserva-
tism in the Italian Parliament, saying that an
agreement of the Powers devoted strictly to a
conservative and pacific policy can alone bring
about partial disarmament, which is the only
remedy for the prevailing depression in finances

AFFAIRS IN AFGHANIsTAN.

stanis have come in and surrendered. An infu-
entail native agent who was collecting supplies
ut Madam has been murdered That part
of the country is much disturbed, and it is
reported that the rebels are collecting in force
there Two brigades will march upon Madam
Immediately, under the command Of Generals
Baker and Macpherson. An imposing parade
of all the troops here numbering 5000, was
held to-day on the plain near their cantonment
The display made an evident impression on the
numerous Afghan spectators including all the
Sirdars of note now here" The Standards de-
spatch from Candahar states that the report
that Ayoub Khan has started from Hcrat
with twelve regiments to attack Candahar is
confirmed. 1t is thought probable that
when he obtains full intelligence of the actual
condition Of affairs at Cabul Ayoub Khan Will
abandon the enterprise.

RUSSIAN REFORMS.
A Vienna despatch to the Times of yesterday
says:-"The meeting of the Russian Imperial
Council to be held in order to examine into the
internal situation of Russia and determine upon
policy to be adopted was spoken of prior to
the late attempt upon the Cars life, but its
deliberations will doubt be greatly in
flucnced by that event, which has brought
the internal affairs of the country into
the foreground. The impression prevails that
the internal difficulties thrust so forcibly
on the authorities will tend to confirm the con
victon that the policy of the diversion of
the nations energies from domestic affairs
by means of foreign complications would
not bc wise IL Is perceived that by
again committing Russia to political
cmbroilmcnts with Europe, the satisfaction of
national aspirations would in all likelihood only
be rendered far more problematic than at pres.
