Htndooibtn ttia I ''In Tr00l or disintegration," for what we know.tlioagU we are habitually Incredulous of all such state ments; bat pending that BOolaJ change, it is quite certain that the Government of India has received an alarm from a new quarter severe enough to Startle it into a modification of ita foreign polloy. Sir John Lawronoe, it ia well known, has been throughout Lia vioerojaltr the advocate of a policy ia our dealings with Russia which his critics satirize as one of 'masterly inaotion," and his adfooataa, tl, ablest of whom fias jus ZVu elected member for Hereford, describe more correct'. as ' one of "watohfal expectation.' He has persistently" refasei to invade Afghanistan, or seize Candahar, or 'garrison Herat, or do anything else calcula'd neel lepsly to aooelerate a conlliot with (he advanc ing Kussian power, lie has bee a, in fact, the most determined, though the r.ao3t moderate, of all the opponents of '.tie Russophobia chronic among Anglo-Iudf ns. An incident, however, has recently Occurred which has compelled the Viceroy to review bis policy, and has determined b'.oi, if we are rightly iu formed, to prees a new one upon the India House and the Foreign Office. This is nothing less than the teoeipt of information, appa rently authe.nUo, certainly most grave, that Russia bad discovered a forgotten weak point in our frontier, and is pressing towards that. The Government possesses in Mr. T. D. For eytb, '.he Comuiiasioner of the Jalluniar Divi sion, a man in whom it has for many years reposed an exceptional confidence, especially with regard to Himalayan affairs. This gentleman, an acute man of the world, much experienced in Indian diplomacy, is in foreign policy what may be called an Auglo-Iudian Whig, not much influenced by extreme views on one side or the other, and inolinad to think that bis first duty is to carry out not only the orders, but the policy of the Uovern ment ho represent. He ha-7, however, nived, during a hill tour in Laiakb, at thrae veiy disagreeable conclusions, which, with their grounds, he bar, impressed on the gov ernment of India. First, the Eastern Tur kestan, or, to put it more plainly to English readers, the region betweon Thibet and Afghanistan, through which Russia mast ap proach if sshe iesigaed to invade us through Cashmere instead of Afghanistan, is rich enough to support a largo army with ease, if, in fact, judging from iU trade, a very fer tile region; secondly, that the notion of the inipnr.sabllily of the llim:;l,.ya3 on the nortboast is a para d.tlusioa. This is stated on the authority of actual journeys by ?.Ir. Forjyth and others, who d-jJaM that the physical digni ties ;.re so fuv that, "in.-;tai of a will 17.000 feet hitfh, ri.nog up a3 ii supposed, the gradients are Buili.iiuntly eay to adaiit of a raihoa l btiuj; main, aiui tVr are no insuper able objections to rnrconstrac'.ing ft road for camels the whole way across the Himalaya A casual observtr luiM suppose such a thing impossible, but we hive the lact3 to go vpsu, and camels have on frevenvl occasions bsea brought even over the riifji'iilt Jvirakorum route; fortiori, they could ba brought by ths Changcheiimoo and iilong a made road into Lalioul." The cold i.s severe, bat the fall of enow is flight, aud without entering, into geo graphical controveisy, itmt'.y be aiaumadthat competent local Olivers are couviaced that a European army, with gurs, could enter India by this route. That is, to 1130 a European au alogy, they ae convinoed that the Braunnr, which was aucpose.l impassr.ble, is moo easily passable than the St. Golhard. Thure is a hole in the north-north jast corner of tiie saiai-oir-onlar wall which abuts out India from the rest of Asia. Thirdly. - It is the conviction of these oilicers, derived from collated native and Chi nese account:, that Russia has obtained per mission to establish a cantonment at Guraab, a point which comnuud3 the chief passes on this route; and that the rahrof Yarkaad, the only strong State between Russia and Cash mere, has entered into negotiations with th.3 Czar in the attitude of a buppliau; in other words, thatdirbot KusHiau iad denoe will shortly be extended as far as the Happy Valley; or, to I put it in a form more closely wichin thu range of English thought, that Uormuny, if incliujd to threaten Italy, can march unopposed through the Tyrol, and is in possession of the Brenner. We do not, wo repeat, ajsort that these statements are exact. For anything we could contribute to the discussion, Eist Tur kestan may be a Sahara, aud the Himalaya an unknown wall, and the cantonment at (iumah an invention of the Chinese. All we aflinn is that officers of remarkable capacity and coolness, personally acquainted with part of the route and oiu.sially responsible for their investigations as to the remainder, hold these views; that the Viceroy believes them sound, and that a change of policy will probably be the consequence of his belief. We must confess we do not like the intelligence at all. As our readers are aware, we have steadily opposed the Indian demand for an "active" polioy in Central Asia, but that was because we believed the FuDjaub by far the best place for the battle, should it ever arrive. We believe that still, but with this modification. If the northeastern passes are really as easy Jaa is represented, and it' the Russian Government had really formed a cautoament at Gumah, the British Government would be in this almost unendurable position, that in the event of any quarrel, however serious, for Constan tinople or Egypt, the Czar could at any mo ment, w ithout expense or great effort, paralyze the power of our greatest ally, the. military Indian empire. With Russian troops collect ing at Gumah, we could not take a white sol dier from India, or leave the Paujaub without an irresistible garrison. It would be madness to do either. India, without occupying a Russian army, would be fully oooupied herself by its possible arrival, while her treasury would even In time of peace be loaded with expenditure. It would be necessary to annex the valley of Cashmere, a moat annoying 8tep, for mere reaeons than one, and tarn that email but beautiful territory into a great camp, at endless expenditure both of troops and money; and, moieover, to do all this without reducing the old Afghan difficulty one iota. Access from that side would no more be hindered by any preparation in the direc tion of Cashmere, than access to Italy over the St. Gothard would be hindered by fortify ing the debouchure of the Brenner. We are not of those who believe that a struggle with Russia in the l'anjaub must neoessarily be disastrous, bnt to allow a Rassian or quasi Russian force to encamp on our territory un opposed, even for rorty-eigut Hours, is, lr we wish to retain India, altogether ont of the question, and the attitude of constant prepa tion for each a contingency will be expensive. annoyiug, and wasteful. There is no part of India where we want a grand military canton ment so little as in CaBhmere. Three conrses were under these new and very difficult oiroo instances open to Sir John I.awrenoe. One was to ignore the whole mat ter, trusting that If ever the danger arrived there would be plerftj of time to meet It an excellent course While W9 have Eastern Turk CBtan between the empires, int a very expeu ive oonrse should Russia posi herself, a she wlshea to d, within ten days marC i cdb; mere, the key on that aide of our domain. An other was to aid Yakoob, of Yarkund, the able Mohammedan enemy of the Russians, who is trying to fonuu a own-I'" ln E8t T-.v-.tan. and miaht it .AJiiT'.h r - applied WnD gaud and money, buildup a formidable desert power also an excellent coarse, if we desire to harry on the long-expected conflict, bat in expedient if we still think it may be postponed or averted. The third coarse was to recom mend direct negotiation b;een the horn-, government and St. olgr8burg wltb. the lnS J - flud'.ng out whether 'lt U or ' . ssible to come to some un.uerstanding with that power as to the boundaries of onr respective - Asiatio possessions. It is quite within the oompass of probability that the Court of St. Petersburg, which does not thare the common continental error about the weakness of Great Britain, and has now and again a good many things to ask, may agree to an arrangement whioh will leave Eastern Turkestan and the whole region be tween the Ox us and the Suleiman neutral for many years. Russia, it ia quite certain, does not want to light now, or to run any risk of compelling Great Britain to put forth her full Btrength and make war for the in dependence of Ablatio Russia an effort by no means beyond her power if pushed to des peration, as tbo government of India ii well aware. The Czars have an in finity of work yet before their do minion in Asia is consolidated, and may be willing to do it before they en gage in more disparate expeditions; aul if Russia agrees, both empires will be relieved of what threatens to prove a very considerable strain. If the refuses, if her Government is unwilling to give np hor vantage-ground or forego the power of menacing Lahore when ever she feels inclined to menace Constanti nople, the British Government will at least know its position, will be assured that among the few external dangers to whioh India is "exposed, an advanoe of Russians through Ladakh and Cashmere is not the least. Once assured of this, we shall know how to pro tect our3elve3 without wasting our resources upon the defense of points never seriously menaced. Sir John Lawrence has adopted thu third course, uid his counsel appears to na at once nodsrate and deter mined, and it will, we hope, meet with that attention at the Foreign Oillue whioh Lia known reluctance either to inspire or to ftel alarm ought to insure. It is, we admit, most annoying work for that office to undertake on imperfect data a mo3t delicate and diilioult negotiation about dis tricts with v.hich foreign mioMerj are, for the mo; t part, uuacp3ited, and positions so f-omplicated that luey may give up all while they think they are receiving concessions; but tLi aiUiiiative is much luore impleading even than this. it is nothing less than the necesaty of constmt readiness to receive in the extreme north of India an attack which will be made in or.ler to facilitate some enter prise in the extreme south of Europe. The attack we csn doleat, but it would be far bet ter, if possible, to avoid by negotiation the expense and worry aud hazard of iuceasaat preparation. DRY GOODS. furs.
