The real extremity of these conditions
Will be better understood when it is re-
membcred that Abd.rrahman Khan has
been a source Of British anxiety for years.
Great Britain has made war on him, and
then ca ..oled aud bribed him. He is what
is called a buffer state" lying between
the British and Russian possessions. Natur-
ally his friendship and alliance have been
assIduo2sly sought by both governments;
but England has never been a match for
Russian diplomacy in Asia, and Abdur.
rahman, for some time past at least, has
been very much under Russian Influence.
The Gar has lavished valuable presents on
this fierce and fanatical potentate, and,
IL may be presumed, has kept his hatred
of the British very much alive. From this
point Of view. the Ameer's connection with
the uprisings in Northern India takes ON "a
