London, November 21. The British have crossed the Afghanistan frontier.

The military authorities have interdicted the Press from telegraphing the movements.

1 The Viceroy hai announced that, the chief cause of England's quarrel with the Ameer was a question of frontier, and his repeated insults and unfriendly acts towards the Empress. There are no grievances against the Afghans. ' :. •; The British forces intend to disperse any armed resistance, and occupy all strategic positions. . i The Viceroy has promised the Chiefs that their privileges would be continued, but aay attempt to impede the advance of the British would be severely punished. The Chiefs ars satisfied; and have promised assistance. A despatch from Viscount Cranbrook justifies the policy of the Government, and shows that the Indian Government is in complete accord with the Cabinet system. The Times, reviewing the policy of Mr Berry regarding his intended visit to England, advocates the Norwegian plain. It condemns a plebiscite, and says it is improbable Sir Michael Hicks-Beach will propose such a plan. It believes the majority of both parties in Victoria will accept a compromise suggested by impartial judgment in England.

Twelve thousand (?) placed on the French estimates for the Sydney exhibition. .

Messrs Poubert and Coombes have received the Legion of Honor.
