REUTER’S TELEGRAMS.
BRITISH AND FOREIGN. London, August 18. In the House of Commons to-day, after a two days' debate the motion introduced by Mr Parnell, censuring the Government for the manner in which the Irish Coercion Act has been administered, was rejected by a considerable majority. In the course of the debate, Mr W. E. Forster, (Under Secretary for Ireland), and Mr Gladstone, definitely stated their refusal to agree to the demand of Mr Parnell, that suspected persons, who were now in custody in Ireland, should be immediately released. New York, August 18. A bulletin issued this morning, reports that President Garfield’s health is rallying, and his condition has greatly improved.
Calcutta, August 19. Intelligence has been received from Afghanistan, that the Ameer Abdul Rahman is now concentrating his forces with the object of marching upon C.mdahar, and opposing the advance of Ayoub Khan.
