“British demanded bis surrender. THE AFGHAN WAR CLOUD. How It Is Regarded by Sir J. Camp- bell Brown, of India. RUSSIA’S ASIATIC INFLUENCE The Bear Certain to Engage in What- ever Quarrel Occurs. Bir J. Campbell Brown, formerly Surgeon General of the Army of Bengal, in India, arrived in this city 4 few days ago, baving come from San Francisco by vay of Washington and Philadelpnia, He was found fp the Fifth Avenue Hotel last evening and spoke freely on the relations existing between England ind Alghanistan and between Engiand and Russia, A war with the Ameer was, in his opin- fon, almost certain to take place. It would yo the rosuit of Russian intrigue. The Russians dave for many years siriven to establish diplomatic intercourse with the court at Caboul, while the Brit. {ah bave until recently been represented there by a Dative ugent, Atlast the Russians have suce a by some occult means, and henceforth their aim will be theexcluston of the English from all access to the counséls ofthe Ameer, Sir Campbell repeatedly r marked that the Ameer is ‘ta most obstina’ and determiued teliow,’? and that he is very likely to fight. “The government has no cortuin knowledgo of the ngth of hisarmy or of its armament, It is weil disciplined and courageous, and doubtiess has a good supply of firearms of the old pattern, Many of his best troops had served undor the British flag, and they bad been utilized leaven for tho r The Ameer has been preparing for ton or filteen years for such an event as the threatened war, The Afghans, as a nation, are tar superior in Physique to the ordinary Hindoos, the sikhs only excepted. They are magnificent soldiers, but cannot surpass the Hindoos in courage or in martial skill.

RUSSIA’S OVKERREACHING POLICY. In the course of a long and genial conversation with the reporter of the Henan tne Baronet dwelt with evident delight on the romenlic and periious in- @idents of bis military experience, letting drop in the meantime many pithy nints regarding the Afghans and the Lodians and the nature of the country woich 1s likely vo be the Geld of war. “ls it your opinion that Russia is making mach Progress in the realization of her ambition for farther Asiatic conquest?” was asked. “Most decidedly yes. Her diplomacy in the East is Persistent and insidious, The English influence at Cabul barred out the Russians only untli the Ru fans effected their frst foothold, and then they alone Must command the ear of the Ameer, The tura of ts simply confirms the statements so often made that Russia'‘means aggression in Asia as soon as she gain a position whion will give her the presump- Ol ap agvantage.’’ ‘Then, If the Aweer is her ally, and she can occupy é, she will have gained that position tT?” ‘es, in ber own opiniva,’? has Russia succeeded in outdoing the British at tue Court of the Ameer?” EMPTY PROMISES, “4 capnot say.

A few days since we insisted it wouid be a disgrace and a wrong {f India is made to pay for a war which, if tt comes, will be notming less than a war against Russia on the Indian border; ana not only so, bat a war springing immediately irom the gross misman- agement ol tne Eastern question here in London, We might bave added, ana ought to hi ded, that India cannot pay for such a war, rightly or wrongly, without absolute financial collapse, — Fartne taxation {is impracticable.

Mr. Faw- cott quotes Lofl Lawrenee that the cost would be “enormous,” and as the former war in Afghanistan involved an expenditure of £13,000,00 this may be easily believed. Now, who is to bear tho burden—England or indiu? There are arguments of great force on both sides, for, although the lndiun troops employed in the expedition would not be actually engaged in repell; India, tuey would assuredly protection of Indian interests, aud in the resuit our Eastern Empire would reap the benefit by probably securing a more easily delensibie troatier than it has at present Alghunistuuward.
