WEAKNESS OF THE BRITISH.
LONDON, Sept. 9.-Sir Stafford Northcote,
| chancellor Of the exchequer, speaking at
Exeter yesterday, said the outbreak at Oabul
appeared to have been unprecedented. So
far as could be judged, the ameer has been en-
tirely true to the British, and twas certain
that the assistance he implored would not be
refused. There seems to be great doubt, he
said, whether prompt advance is possible.
A military correspondent, reviewing the stu
alton, says twenty-five per cent. of the native
troops on the frontier have gone on furlough.
The season has been an unusually sickly one.
The hospitals are full of men unfit
for service, from fever and hardships
of the campaign. There arr very few in
fantry regiments in Trans India provinces
which could muster 500 men, and there are
probably not cavalry regiments in Punjaub
which could put 800 men on parole. The trans
port departments have been broken up and
their reorganization will be difficult. Upwards
IF GO, 900 camels ale officially reported to have
persisted in the late campaign. General Rob-
erts may have sufficient men and camels to adj
nit of hasty advance of brigade in light
marching order, but the government of India
WILL u6Vc 10 oGIulu every NcTV0 10 SuaIu Ills
communications and keep him provisioned.
Unfortunately the regiments in India nearest
to Afghanistan have mostly suffered from
cholera and are numerically weak, the men
being debilitated, and they will require
heavy draughts to bring them to their man
strength, and at least two months must
elapse before men to recruit the regiments can
arrive from England. News received from
Jallalabad through reliable sources gives as
surance that General Roberts will be at Cabul
in a fortnight. 1t is said in military circles
at Simla the 9th of October is probably the
date of the commencement of forward move,
because of deficiency in wheeled transporta-
ton. A correspondent at Simla says those who
know the position of things declare the ad.
vance impossible. It is reported that Cabul
itself is sacked by a mob.

bad results in the south, west, east and centre,
though France will not have to purchase 80
largely as last year. She will require fifteen
or twenty million hectolitres, and must buy it
almost exclusively in America in competition
with England.
