“OOR COUNTRY—RIGHT OR WRONG.”
From the New. York Sun.
?N I>XA : .y' ;;
1‘ The news from India, it is truly remark
ed in the .London papers, is the most meH
uncholy and ’ disastrous • that S#as. <ver
. England from that country.
The'p eu p'® of Afghanistan have taken ter
rible vengeance upon their European inva
ders. Tne British liave been driven from
Cabal, and near six thousand of their best
.troops have been cut to pieces. In the
Bombay Times of the Ist of'February we
find the ,most minute account of this terrible
iitfiiir. ' ,
' At the date of our last radviccs three
regiments, which were attempting to march
under Col. McLarin from Banduhar to the ,
relief of Cabooli had been stopped by the'
snotvs westward olGluiznec, and compelled
to return whence they came.. Ghuziiee
itself was snowed up; its garrison contained
but a single Sepoy regiment. Sir Robert
Sale’s brigade Imti left Caboo'l in the begin,-
ing of October, and readied Jallalabad on
the 12lh November, and there they remain 1
cooped up and unable to remove at peril of
their existence. The beleagured hdst could ;
receive aid from no one’J they were sur
rounded by un enomy from 1 0,000 to 20;-
000 strong. Their commissariat having i
almost at the first outbreak beeii destroyed, j
they were, by the date at which the present]
1 narrative cOiiiineiiccs, ill oil’ for ciotlung and
I sorely pinched for tood.
■ The force, besides, was lt edn
slsted-'or'near 0000 men, one half iiHJclla
llissdr, oryiitadel,.within the town, the other
half iV aJVirlilied. camp six miles, off;., a deep
mountain stream which-they were never
able to ford intervened. By the 291 h much
aiinovance and some apprehension began to
bcjcnterlained of . the elfects of the jctifuvia,
lof the-heaps of unburied dead every where
; strewed arouiuk " About .ten thousand
[ corpses slain in battle lay ■ festering about
fliTg'£ireuf;bear T ttte
ratbivi^ntlrrm —thc-inirrors-tif
l.pesliience to those of famine and the sword,
so soon as a relaxing’ temperature should
stimulate putrefaction. An attempt was at
tliis--TniTir tnade“ttr-sUbmergo ,-the -camp,-by
.diverting a torrent from its course, and di
recting its w aters ogaihst the entrenchments.
-Fortunately it.was presented; a cunaLguided
the ffthcam harinmlessly away.
In the camp. provisions-had become ex
tremely scare;-.ammunition was plentiful.—-
to the.citadel both food and- powder were
nearly expended? ' On the 'l9th, a convoy'
of umniunition was sent to the Bella llissar,
under Girlonel Oliver, of the Sill No. 1, but
(he Colonel haying reached the Nullaii,
'which runs betweeiuhe Ca.bool cantonments
and the town, sent to report that the bridge
■was impracticable. All order, therefore,
was sent from head quarters', commanding
the parties to return; and although, ere the
order had reached, the party had actually
crossed the Nullah, they returned and
brough buck the ammunition'. On this day
there was a Ijght in the town, the Kuzzle
bashes having incensed Shah Zemaun’s
party by rclusing- to give up some persons
on our side, to whom ft,was alleged .they
had afforded. protection. On tlie 20th, if
was intimated to the envoy that an immense
number of the Afi'gans intended lb surround
the cantonments on the following day, and
explode our magazine with red hot shot;—
The powder -was accordingly removed in
the'night,.bnt every thing was quiet' ('luring
the next day, the enemy, being employed in
making powder alid liamering phut.
On the 22d they again mustered on the
heightst iiml Major ’Swaiiey, of the N. I‘,
was sent with'a party to occupy Oehincru.
As he marched upon it, the enemy evacua
ted*.- hpt the place, for some unaccountable
reason, was not taken,-anil the enemy re
turning'got possession of it again. The,
cantonment had, hitherto drawn their- pro
visions from a village called Dehmeru, close
byntrc’wuard protecting it was a-weak one;
it was overpowered by a native chief with
1,000 followers, and the grain in-store and
the Village fell intb-his bands. The' enemy
had captured an old P 8 pounder gun at
Charck'an ■on the Sd, when 800- Ghoorkas
were cut to pieces by them'. -Having
this on-the height within long range of thc
cantonments, they began to- assemble in
force around it about the 22d, and to annoy
by their fire the troops in camp, Their
strength did not at first seem to have been
siißpecfedbyus. Theymusf have muster
edabout 10,000,
A light detachment sent out by General
Elphiiisioho tri-attack them; bravely rushed'
up the acclivity, but on atta’ning its sumrpit
found themselves surrounded and in danger
of being'cut off. They succeeded with dif
ficulty in regaining the camp,„hotly pursued
by tlie yncmy. A Betflind and more power-;
ful body immediately saUicil“out, .and drove
the enemy before them. They succeeded
in reaching the cresE of the hill Mind dispers

unable "lb capturerthe gun, wliicli was'with'

On flic 25th, Mahomed Akhbar' Khan,

such a treaty as might meet the exigencies
of both patties., The belief'in this was tran
sient:, it soon appeared that the presence of
the Prince' added- fresh vigor Jo the dn

A detachment of irregular cavalry; while
guarding our- baggage camels, wa? attached
by n force of snipe 1,000 or i',500 horsemen;
after a severe action and gallant defence!
they were compelled to retire; They had
been feqrfully outnumbered,.and suffered
severely. On (he 351 h a large body appear

town, and on the 6lb they succeeded in rc
■ capturing the fort.'wounding Knsign Gray!,
of the 441 h, and tile garrison offering no re-'
sistancc. On the Blb ,a convoy of ammuni
tion was attacked .on its way to the enemy’s
bands. On the Bill of December .in attempt
tii throw .supplies into the citadel was .-un
successful,.a large portion of tile amunitien
having fallen into the enemy’s hands. On
the ,9th there were only-three day ’s provis
ions in the camp at‘half rations. .At this
time we were once more on treaty with the
insurgents—tlie terms .proposed by them
abating nothing ip extravagance.
The insurgent chief? seemed to’have had'
throughout a' regular army in pay. Fliere
were no fewer than five thousand horsemen
in the field-, wtH- mounted and armed. The
infantry, though about double Ibis number,
were indifferently appointed, and not'for
midable as enemies. The troops-j'cspecial
ly in' tlie Biilla Hissar, began How to be
pressed exceedingly for-food..
The particulars of their sufferings have
reached us in scanty measure and-imperfect
form. The chief part of the commissariat
fell into the hands of Ghily.ies ak.tlic’bcgin
ing, and the make-sltlft system of-subsis
tence- thus necessarily resorted to for more
than four weeks to-suppiy a force amount
ing at the outset to nearly 6000 fighting
men, irrespective of followers anil atteny
dants, must have so pinched them .with hun
ger,that there,is at.-least nothing improbable
in the rumor, that by the end of November
-they were supported chiefly by the slaught
er,of-the beasts of burden.-and Were jiving
on horserflesh. -So extreme’ wcfe’lbeir ne
cessities that treaties began to be discussed,
the issue of which, under the; most favorable
circumstances,, must have- been no. better
for tbcin than lids,,that they, should be siilV
fered’ to march out with their baggage and
arms, to seek the,ir way unprovided for (ihe
Affghans have afforded them noncj’thniugh
an uninterrupted series of ninety miles, of
passes,, ,the most difficult perhaps in .the
world, to fall back on the.post of Jebalabad,
at that time but a ; shade better off than them
selves, and those next point of retreat was
through the Khyburpass to Pcshawur, some
IOS miles in their rear.-
The terms actually, proposed by the in
surgents,’if correctly repurted to us, indi
cate Ijbw conscious tliey wore that we were
utterly-at their mercy,. These were, in.
fact, that surrender our arms, and
to evacuate the cdufitry

retained as to be hostages, and .returned to

and Dust Mahommcd had been restored to
