The inquiry held by General Phayre, at Kandahar, into the causes of the disaster to the brigade under General Burrows, at Kushkiiiakahan,on the 27th of July, was terminated and a report has boon forwarded. .The Viceroy, in tin "official intimation, decided that the investigation of the circumstances discloses a serious incapacity on the part of General Primrose and Genetul Burrows, both of whom are denounced as answerable- for tlie disaster. General Primrose is blamed for having despatched a brigade of infiiilileienl .--r-i-a-.-th to mei t an enemy who was known t.o I',- advancing in low.

The British Cabinet is hopeful of a peaceful settlement of the diiiii-nliies in the East. If tin; Powers will undertake to with-: draw the naval demonstration, which the !
