charging upon the mob fl I'm the burning Resi-
dency. The mob lost 21O men before Major
Cavagnari's party was overpowered by num-
bers. The official telegram to the loss by the
mob was mutilated, and it may read 21O or
40, but the latter figure is thought improba-
BILE. There is rumor that the Sepoys who
were with the Embassy were taken prisoners
and are still alive.
THE AMEER's PERPLExITY.
Major Conolly, the British political agent
telegraphs officially from Ali Kheyl that
Intelligence has been received there that
the Ameer is terribly perplexed at the
reproach to his name, that he is in
privacy with few faithful sirdars, and that
he is sure to come personally and apologize to
the government. Gholam Hassain, native
envoy of the Indian government, was expected
to arrive at Cabul on the 7th inst, and the
Ameer intended making excuses to him. So far
Major Copolly. The Daily Ners, in a despatch
from Allahabad, hints that the Ameer had
warned Major Cavagnari of impending danger.
The despatch reads:--"As early as the 10th of
August the Ameer advised Major Cavagnari to
abstain from riding about Cabul for fear of an
attack upon him, and that Major Cavagnari's
relations with the Ameer latterly were very
cold" In contradiction to this Lord Cranbrook,
Secretary of State for India, has issued state
ment showing that the telegram to the Daily
-Nescs concerning the relations between Major
Cavagnari and the Ameer was not in accordance
with the official reports from the viceroy.
x TROOPS FOR cABUL.
The Times says :-"General Roberts has but
1000 infantry, 1000 cavalry and eight guns,
which constitute an inadequate force to cope
with the rebels in Cabul and at the same time
maintain its own communications, and that
General Roberts will probably be compelled to
delay his advance until at least three fresh
infantry regiments have reached the Kuram
Valley" The Times mentions q rumor that
some Afghan troops who left Cabul intended to
advance on the SnuCorEaruan IaSS. 1ne SlgnlH-
cance of this, however, is destroyed by q tele-
gram to the Daily Neacs from Allahabad an
nouncing that the British troops and guns are
already there. The Standards despatch from
Robat announces that General Roberts has left
for the front 1t is believed that he will make
a dash on Cabul. The Daily NescS despatch
from Lahore says General Massey is pushing on
Cabul, regardless Of the difficulties of procuring
transportation. Two regiments at Chatham and
eight batteries of artillery have been ordered to
be in readiness to proceed to India. Several
battalions will if necessary be ordered from the
Cape OF Good Hope thither.
RUSSIAN OPINION ON THE MASSACRE.
The st. Petersburg Gazette says:-"The mas
sacre Of the members of the English Mission to
Afghanistan obliterates the scientific frontier
between that country and India, and necessi-
tates the occupation of the whole of Atghanis-
tan by the British. But thisis incompatible with
the assurance given by England to Russia, with
whom there must be an understanding in re-
gard to the measures Of satisfaction to be taken
by England" The Ga-eae proceeds to recon-
mend solution by partition of Afghanistan
so as to bring the English and Russian domin-
ions in contact in Central Asia LIE Nord (semi-
Officially newspaper, of Brussels, repels the charge
that the Russians instgated the revolt at Cabul.
