and encroachment. His Majesty Shah Soojahool-Moolk will enter Affghanistan surrounded by his own troops, and will be supported against foreign interference and factious opposition by a British army. The GovernorGeneral confidently hopes that the Shah will be speedily replaced on his throne by his own subjects and adherents; and when once he shall be secured in power, and the independence and integrity of Affghanistan established, the British army will be withdrawn. The GovernorGeneral has been led to these measures by the duty which is imposed upon him of providing for the security of the possessions of the British Crown; but he rejoices that in the discharge of his duty he will be enabled to assist in restoring the union and prosperity of the Affghan people. Throughout the approaching operations British influence will be sedulously employed to further every measure of general benefit, to reconcile differences, to secure oblivion of injuries, and to put an end to the distractions by which for so many years the welfare and happiness of the Affghans have been impaired." A notification was at the same time made that Mr. W. H. Macnaghten, Secretary to the Government, would assume the function of Envoy and Minister at the Court of Shah Soojah, and that Captain Burnes would be employed under his direction as Envoy to the Chief of Khelat or other States. A number of political assistants were also appointed. It was of this proclamation Sir J. C. Hobhouse said afterwards, speaking officially:"Lord Auckland must not be permitted to bear the blame of the Simla manifesto against Dost Mahomed. It was the policy of the Government; and he might mention that the despatch which he wrote, stating his opinion of the course that ought to be taken in order to meet expected emergencies, and that written by Lord Auckland informing him that the expedition had already been undertaken, crossed each other on the way.'

October 1.--Unaware of the calamity which had befallen Stoddart and Conolly at Bokhara, Lord Ellenborough writes to the Ameer:-"I was informed when I reached India that you detained in confinement two Englishmen, supposing them to have entertained designs against you. This must have been your reason, for no prince detains an innocent traveller. I am informed that they are innocent travellers. As individuals they could not entertain designs against you; and I know they were not employed by their Government in such designs, for their Government is friendly to you. them away towards Persia. It will redound to your honour. They shall never return to give you offence, but be sent back to their own country. Do this, as you wish to have my friendship." Many other attempts were made to soften the Ameer's heart towards the captives by the Governments of Russia and Turkey, as well as by British agents at Herat, Khiva, and Cabul; but failure attended each successive appeal, chiefly, it was thought, from the refusal or unwillingness of the British Government to recognise the captives in any way as ambassadors or official agents. General Pollock exerted himself successfully to obtain an adjustment of the claims of Captain Conolly's servants, though a letter written in connexion therewith by the Secretary for India shows in what light Lord Ellenborough regarded the mission. "I am directed to inform you," wrote Mr. Maddock, "that the GovernorGeneral has no knowledge of Lieutenant A. Conolly's mission to Kokund having been authorized. On the contrary his Lordship was informed by the late President of the Board of Control that Lieutenant A. Conolly was expressly instructed by him not to go to Kokund, and in all probability he owes all his misfortunes to his direct transgression of that instruction."
