There is no doubt but that Government intends to withdraw when it can be done with some security to the peace of Afghanistan ; but on our departure Ayoub Khan would assuredly endeavor to establish himself there, and consequently come into collision with the Ameer ; and, in the event of the defeat of the latter, it would necessitate our interference again.
