FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

London, Aug. "A Cabul dispatch an
nounces that Mr.. Griffin, the British repre-.
sentative, has met Abdur Rahman at a
private interview. His demesnor was ex-
cellent. There we're but few troops with him.
Another Cabul dispatch says the prospect of
favorable settlement with Abdur Rahman
and the speedy withdrawal of his army from
Cabul are no doubt seriously menaced by the
disaster at Candihsr, but General Stewards
force is adequate for any emer-
geney. We will fear no combina-
ton which can be brought about
it. Mr.. Griffin has twice held an interview
with Abdur Rahman. General Stewart will
meet Abdur Rahman in public at General
Gouch's camp on Kshala on Monday.
A Cabul dispatch says Mr.. Griffia held an
interview with Abdur Rahman on Saturday,
which lasted three hours. The British escort
consisted of three squsdrons of cavalry and
the ameers escort of one hundred
infantry. Abdur Rahman evidently desires
our friendship, but feels insecure until he is
more successful in gaining over the country
to his side. His Tufkistan troops are more
than suspicious, and he finds it necessary to
humor them.
The Times publishes "a description of q
igure-head of the Atlanta, widely differing
from the description Of the one picked up
by the bark, Girl of Devon, recently.
The Sportsman says: We have now re-.
ceived the second deposit of ESQ on behalf
of both Trickett and Hanlan, tho oarsmen.
So that the conditions and articles for the
coming match race have been duly complied
with.

hicles are allowed to pass the house.
A bulletin issued from Downing street, al
fifteen minutes past four o'clock..this.evening
says Mr.. Gladstone is doing as we'll as could
be expected, but his fever continues. The
bulletin is signed by Sir William Jenner and
DR.. Andrew Clark.
Mrs. Gladstone writes from Downing
street as follows: "Sir William Jenner
physician to the queen, has been summoned
and will be here at o'clock p. m. Until
then no fresh report of Mr.. Gladstone's con.
