MUTINY AMONG THE NATIVE TROOPS.—THE BRITISH EMBASSY ATTACKED BY THE MUTINEERS AND POPULACE.—THE ENTIRE PARTY, 79 IN ALL, MURDERED,

—

Simia, Sept. 6.—The fourth messenger has reached Ali Theyl with news that the British Embassy at Cabul has been attacked by several Afghan regiments, and that the escort of the Embassy are defending them- selves. The troops of Ali Theyl have been ordered to move instantly on the Shutarg- ardon pass, and instructions have been de- spatched to Generals Roberts and Stewart to advance on Cabul.

Letters from the Ameer confirm the re- port of the revolt. He was completely sur- prised. The populace jeined the mutinous regiments, and the Embassy was attacked by overwhelming numbers,

AT LATEST ACCOUNTS the Viceroy of India was ignorant of the fate of the members of the Embassy.

The Viceroy of India immediately or- dered the troops at Ali Theyl to move in- stantly upon Shutargardon Pass. General

| Roberts has been ordered to proceed to

Pawar Pass, and advance on Cabul, while General Stewart has been ordered to hold Candahar. All British forces on the Can- Gahar line will concentrate at Candahar, the forces in Khyber Pass being strongly reinforced, and will operate on J allalabad.

Major Connolly telegraphed on Friday night the substance of letters received from the Ameer of Afghanistan, who confirms the intelligence of the revolt, and adds that the regiments which mutinied were joined by the populace. The Ameer’s arsenal and stores were first plundered and destroyed, and the British Embassy then attacked by overwhelming numbers. The Ameer de- clares that he was.completely surprised by the outbreak. He endeavored to quell it, and sent General Daoudshak to Major Cavagnari’s assistance, but General Daoud- shak was unhorsed: and fatally wounded. The Ameer then sent his son with the Governor of Cabul and other influential personages, but the mob was wholly un- controllable, The attack on the British Embassy continued through Wednesday, when a fire broke out on the premises. The Ameer, writing on Thursday, says he is in great distress, and is himself besieged.

The Viceroy of India is at present ignor- ant of the fate of Major Cavagnari and other members of the Embassy. | General Roberts has started for Peiwar Pass, and the advance on Cabul will be made very speedily, and will be strongly supported. The Viceroy’s military secretary accompanies Gen. Roberts.

The Ameer writes that the troops, at the first outbreak, after stoning the ofticers, rushed to the British Embassy and stoned it. Several volleys were fired from the Em- bassy in return.

A SECOND LETTER FROM THE AMEER,

dated Sept. 4th, says: ‘‘Thousands assem- bled to destroy the British Embassy. Much life was lost on both sides. 1, with five at- tendants, were besieged all day yesterday - to noon. Ihave no certain news of the
