London, August 9. Ameer Abdul Rahman furnishes supplies to General Huberts on his march south towards Kandahar. Har ting ton, in an official statement, says that General Stewart declares that he has accomplished the ill desired at Cabul. The Government seems satisfied with Abdul Rahman, and the future question about Afghanistan relates to Kandahar, which the British will probably retain. The Anglo-Indian press denounces General IMmrose, Brigadier General Burrows, and the Comnraudcr-in- Chief in India considers them responsible for the recent disaster to British troops at Kandahar. Much dissatisfaction is being excited on the Continent by the policy peraued by Mr Gladstone in the East. He is accused of intriguing with Count Gorthchakoff, with the object of excluding Austria from the Danubian Commission and the international tribunal which has to deal with the management of questions affecting Central Danube. The Austrian Government are indignant that their right should be set aside in a matter which is of great importance to the Empire, as affecting principal artery of trade, and in their remonstrances are supported by Prince Bismarck. The t.ermau and Austrian papers . stigmatise Mr Gladstone's conduct in severe language, and declare that the pursuance of such a policy will seriously imperil European concert. Intelligence has been received to the effect that a Russian army under Skobeloff has been sent against Tekke. The Turkomans in Central Asia experience serious difficulty in obtaining supplies. The troops are suffering great hardships. By latest accounts a large forage party of Russians was attacked by Turkomans. After a shaip encounter the latter were repulsed.
