If any fighting had been expected, the Army would have been sent forward, and the Shah would have taken up a safe position; but, as submission was expected, Mr. MacNaghten gave Sir J. K. the go by, in order very much knocked up and dying daily. All the sa. bib log are without tents, feeding like the soldiers." 20TH APRIL. All the villages were deserted on our arrival; but, by conciliatory measures, we have in duced nearly all of the inhabitants to return already We have quantities of lucerne, clover, &c. 10TH MAY.-The Bengal Cavalry has suffered great-that all the eclat of the business might fall to himself and ly. Not less than 400 horses had died of star vation, and the remainder are so weak, as to be almost unserviceable, or, as the writer emphatically says, "could not come a gallop." The 24 Caval ry, one of our finest regiments, bad been particularly unfortunate, and did not expect to take 200 horses to Cabool. The Camp followers were on seer of otta. which was selling at 3 seers for the rupee. Tea was 16 rupees and sugar-candy 4 rupees the seer, and all Sober articles with the exception of vegetables equally expensive. The beat at day was excessive, 102 and 103 in the tents; but the nights were cool. Dysentery prevailed among both Europeans and natives. the Sbah. The fact is that Sir J. Kean got the whip band of them all, and ruled the roast famously. Nettbor Mr. Mac N. nor the Shah approved of this and would be glad to shake off the incubus if they could. However we did march 40 miles in two days and got rid of bis presence for a time. There has been a great deal of sickness the hospitals are crowded with men, both Native and European, suffering from severe bowel disorde s, attributable to the bad water. I bave been a sufferer myself and do not expect to recover till I can see the bottom of a six dozen case of Alisop, for I date my sickness from the time that my supplies began to fail me. No words can tell how I have y-arned after The inhabitants are described as cool and indifferent a bottle of beer, when heated and tired with a long and the Shab, as having no influence beyond what the march, and nothing but salt, dirty water to refresh me fear of our arms produced. He had been indulging his after the lavours of the day.

Coffee (not to be had in the city) at seven racter. Had the Candahar Chiefs not quarrelled among them-rupees in the Camp bazar. Cheroots too lamentably scarce. I offered 100 rupees for 600, but no takers, so selves, or could they have trusted their followers, it I am obliged to smoke the Candahar tobacco in a pipe, was thought they might have proved very ugly customers, in the condition our troops, particularly the a bad substitute but better than nothing. Grain sellCavalry were in after getting through the last pass.ng for 3 seers the rupee-the army still on half raIndeed never was silver shot more useful than on this tions. I don't know when we shall advance to Cau Occasion. It was thought the Chiefs would defend themselves in Girishk as long as they possibly could.. I now come to his Majesty's entry into the city this morning, which is, without exception, the most heart-stirring scene I have ever beheld. There could not have been less than sixty or seveinty thousand people assembled. The balconies were crowded with women, the streets lined with men, and from all quarters the uni versal shout of welcome proceeded. The general tone of exclamation ran thus-"Candahar is ruined by the Barukzyes." May your power endure for ever." We look to you for protection." May your enemies be destroyed." "Son of Timour Shah, you are welcome!" Succeeding these, flowers were thrown at His Majesty, and in several intances loads of bread were cast before him, and became the spoil of the beggars in attendance. After passing through the City, the King descended from his horse and proceeded to the shrine containing the shirt of the prophet, and offered up thanksgiving. From thence he went to the tomb of his grandfather and prayed, and on both these occasions he took the British Officers with him. The party returned through the City with the same demonstrations of loyalty and respect, on the part of the populace, and this eventful day has passed off without an accident." 15TH MAY.-At Deb-i-hadji, the Political received inteligence that the Candahar Chiefs had filed to Girisnk, and that the people of the town would receive the King, so the Shah waxed very brave and swore that, he would go on with the contingent alone; consequently after a few hours' rest, we marched to Candabar (eighteen miles) and fired a royal salute. Three weak regiments of Infantry, newly raised and half disciplined, marched to Candahar on the 24th April, without any Cavalry, and only one troop of Horse Artillery. And for this an army of 30,000 men was ordered into the Field in November last, and for this an army of 10,000 passed the Bolan defile. Sir John Keane arrived on the 20th, the leading column of Bengal Army on the 27th, the 4th Brigade a few days bool, The barvest has just commenced and the heat is very great from 100 to 105 in tents. The sherbet and wine of the country are not drinkable, they are only very fine-in poetry.-I bave been much disappointed in the country, Shawl is tolerably cultivated, and Pisheen (south of the Khoyah hills) has a sprinkling of wheat and barley; but the country north of the hills is desolate in the extreme, until within a few miles of Candabar. The whole country is hilly-bare and precipitous rocks -not a respectable tree in all Affghanis tan. The valley of Candabar is tolerably green, and there are many orchards round the town-plenty of mulberry trees, but the fruit wants flavor. There are also apricots, grapes and pomegranates, but they are not ripe yet. Candabar is a mud town with a paltry nud wall (of no great thickness) and a contemptible ditch. Burnes tells us that there is not a stone or pucka brick building between the Indus and Constantinople except the ruins of Palmyra, I suppose. The country is thickly populated and but partially cultivated, though the soil generally appears rich. I suspect grain wil always be scarce, until we reach Peshawur. The crops of Caubul are, I believe, scarcely sufficient to maintain the population-graiu is always dear there. but now terrifically so. There is some talk of a portion at least of the Troops returning in October or November. I hope we may be among the numberEvery body is disgusted, and the order for the march home across the Punjab, will be received with the greatest pleasure by all. I don't think the natives will come this way again in a hurry. Some regiments were ordered to hold themselves in readiness to march to Ghirisk, to drive away the Caudabar chief, Robun Dil Khan; but I believe accounts have been received of his having left Ghirisk, with the intention of coming to tender his allegiance. The King does not appear to be popular, as no man of any great influence has as yet joined him. As for the lower orders, they look on with indifference, and the bill people plunder and kill whenever they can. The Shah was installed yesterday. The ceremony took place out side the city, and the army paraded and marched past in review order. The Officers of the contingent were to have presented gifts to the Shab, and five gold pieces - Belgian coinage of a late date, strange to say, and the currency of this country, (how did they find their way here?) were presented to each of us for that purpose; but the ceremony was deferred; and. if possible, I will avoid it altogether, as my pride kicks rather against it. I don't relish paying homage to Shah Sonjah, a puppet-king, without even the power to maintain the crown we bave given him; besides, I am not in his service and do not even wish to be. We were kept in the back ground yesterday. The contingent did not parade, but formet a street for his Majesty. This was biding our candle beneath a busbel," as ours is, The without doubt, the finest troop in the field. Bombay detachments (Artillery) look well, but their teams, barness, carriages, and fittings up are very inferior to ours. Tell this to I, if you see him, and also that we have found the benefit of having no store boxes; we have not had a single collar-gall. Grant has many; his borses and those of the Bengal Caval ry, are much done up. Our carriages have stood well; but the Bombay ones are much shaken, many of the Their horses are beam-trails of their waggons broken. smail, and do not look well in harness, but make good Cavalry Horses; and they are easier fed than ours. The Bombay H. A. have much better helmets than we have, and I would recommend the adoption of such to our commandant. Stevenson commands all the Artillery; he, Day and Backhouse are all weil. Among the rumours current at Shickarpoor, was one to the effect that the Bombay Ariny would pay Hyderabad a visit n its return for the purpose of extracting a few more lakhs of rupees from the Ameers, who are accused of doing all in their power to hamper the mea. sures of the Commissariat Officets in procuring grain for the use of the Army. CABOOL. It is said that the Cabool Sirdards had quarrelled among themselves, and had gone each his own way, leaving Dost Moohumud and a few of his more attached adherents, in the Fort of Cabool. His brother, who had been entrusted with the defence of the Khybur Pass, had also abandoned his post, which was immediately occupied by 'olonel Wade, who, with Timor Shah and our Seikh Allies, had crossed the Pass. Every thing indicates a speedy termination of the campaign, and the troops were in hopes of returning to Hindoostan in the cold weather. Some Engineer and Artillery Officers are to proceed immediately to Heerat, to fortify it. The Bombay papers have a report, on which they apparently place implicit reliance, that half the Army had marched from Candahar on the 7th ult., and in a night attack, which they repulsed, sustained a loss of 4,000 men. HERAT MARCH 29ra -The price of the grain had fallen, aud r. MacNaghten could make arrangements to send further supplies to the City from the province of Sustan, the chief people of which had come to wait on the British Officer at Candabar. Lieutenant Pottinger, -now quite well-is on the most friendly terms with Shab Kamran and bis vizeer. CAPTURE OF OIRISHK AND SADUSA.-Letters from the detachment under the command of Brigadier Sale, dated Heldmund river between Candahar and Herat, May 22nd, mention, that the forts of Girisk and Sadush were taken possession of in due course by the troops of the Shah without the smallest trouble. It appears that Kohendil Khan had, previous to his flight, destroyed all the boats on the river and carried away the gates and wood out the houses in the Fort in order to prevent our troops making rafts and following him across. The rum casks of the detachment were, however, brought into play last of all and the flank companies of H.M.'s 13th Light Infantry and the 16th N. I., were crossed without any difficulty. An order, however, arrived for their halt on the Candahar side of the river, and their return to head quarters preparatory to a move on to Cabool. The letters continue to speak of a frightful scarcity of every article. Sir, I have the honor to report to your Excellency, that passing between King's island and Reid's rocks in Basse's Strait'. I perceived a danger, the position of which is different from that described as Bell's rock in the Australia Directory, vol. 1s page 112. The following observations were made-21st April, 1938, wind strong from N W. heavy swell; ran between King's island and Reid's rocks, steering S W b. S (S. 43deg W) passed the Centre rock at a distance of 3 or 4 miles, they appeared correctly placed with reference to King's island. Black Pyramid in one Centre rock (S 30deg E.) At 3h 4m Centre rock of Reid's E. b. S. S. (S. 61 deg E.) 4 mi es by estimation. Steered south (S. 9deg W) in 5 minutes perceived from the masthead a heavy breaker, right ahead, estimated at 6 miles distance, bauled up S. W. (S 54deg W.) 2 miles then S. S W. (S. 31deg W) and south (S 9teg W.) the distances on these two last causes not accurately noted, rate from 7 to 8 knots per hour. (1) 4h 27m breaker and black pyramid ip one E 10deg S. The result is were From the Reid's Centre rock bears (N. 32deg E.) N. N. E. 10m Breaker Pyramid............... (S. 734deg E.) E. 4 S. 13m Now from (2) when anxious to get an angle to Reid's rock it was just visible from a point 35 feet above water, and on passing it we judged it from 20 to 30 feet high, therefore at (2) we about but less than 12 miles from Reid; the sketch gives 11deg 8m Assuming Reid's Rock in 40deg 15m 5s S., it places the Pyramid in 4vdeg 27 m 88, nearly 5 miles North of its position on the chart thus agreeing with a remark made by Captain King, who thought it probable the Pyramid was placed too far south by 4 miles. The distance from S. to B. agrees with the run of about 8 knots per hour, but cannot be reconciled with the estimated distance when first seen, of 6 miles;-this however, having been judged from the masthead, cannot be much relied on. The position of Bell's rock being 4 or 5 miles more to the eastward, I feel inclined to consider this a new danger; at any rate great caution is necessary in taken the passage betwixt Reid's rocks and the Pyramid. The state of the weather precluded more accurate observations, I consider the probable limit of error in the position to be half a point in the bearings, and one mile in the distances. I have also found reason to doubt the position of the S. W. Cape of Van Dieman's Land as marked on the chart: my obser vations place it about 6 miles more to the Northward, this nearly restores it to the original position assigned by Flinders, M. Cecille, commanding H M. C. 1 ship L'Heroine, informed me that he had found that the latitude 43deg 39m 5s was too far south by 6 or 7 miles. The 22d April, 1838 five observations near noon, each reduced to noon by the run gave the latitude 43deg 15m 2s S. at 2h 12m -the S. W. Cape bore E. by N. (N. 8sdeg E] 4 miles. Ran in interval S. ES. (S. 31deg E.)........ S. E. S. (S. 42deg E.).. Resulting difference latitude, Latitude, 16m 8s 4m 8s ..... 17 m 8s 43deg 15m 28 Latitude of S. W. Cape,.... 43deg 33m 0s Flinders, Conway, ......... 43deg 32m 39m King, ........................ 33m I considered the latitude at noon as good as can be obtained from sea horizon-the run may also be trusted, as we were going 10 knots steadily. The course. may be subject to error as there was a great swell, but this would not much affect the determination. I will add, that having run between the Meinstone and Veedle's rock, a course E. by N. N. brought the south Cape right ahead, this, though, nol accurately observed with a view to fixing any position tends to prove that the S. W. Cape and its neighbouring islands are 4 or 5 miles too far south. (Sd) WILLIAM DYER.
