If Takoob Khan has been proclaimed Ameer of Afghanistan, it is questionable if the British troops will march to Cabul at all. The announcement of this pro- clamation was made in the telegram wo published towards the end of last week, and follows one, dated the 23rd De cember, atating "It is reported that the Ameer has fled, leaving Yakoob Khan in power." Hence it may be conjectured how this proclamation has been brought about. Yakoob had been imprisoned for several years previous to the outbreak of the present war by the Ameer, and possibly the result of Yakoob coming into power may be the abandonment of the defence against the advance of the British troops on the part of the new ruler, and successful efforts to conclude peace. Under the circum- stances the English Government is likely to lend a very favourable car to repre- sentations from the new Ameer. Should peace be thus concluded another feather will be placed in the cap of the Beacons. field Government, Formerly Takoob Khan was distinguished by much energy and military skill, but there have been rumours that confinement in prison had

of the stability of the peace recently concluded, Many people began to in cline to the opinion a few months ago, that there would be another war in Turkey before the Russians left Poume- lia, and that in that war British troops would play a by no means inconsiderable part. Now, there is every reason to believe the British, fleet will have no occasion to pass the winter in the zea of Marmora after all. As the fight of the Ameer and the proclaiming of Yakoob Khan presages a speedy peace in Afghanistan, eo does the chartering.
