for the defenders to fire from. At the corners
and at intervals along the walls are bastfons for
guns. Against position such as this held by
5000 British troops, with abundance of artillery
and munitions of war, the rush OF a savage mob
could do nothing: and their numbers, however
large, would add little or nothing to their ag-
gressive force. The troops now on the way from
Jellalabad and Gandamuk number two regi-

and two batteries of artillery. Such a force as
this once free from the defileS should be able to
give good account Of itself, and make its way
forward however large force Mahomed Jan
