RUSSIA AND AFGHANISTAN,

As if in anticipation of the news whed out by Reuter to-day, we find in the Pall Mall the following Interesting notes on the poulblities of Russian intrigue on the Indias frontier, written by Mr. Frederick Greenwood:-

"We shall not hear that the Government of India has been persuaded by the friendliness of the Amser to reduce its military force on the North-West Frontier. The Ames's position, which is a matter of more consideration aven than his character, is known to the Indian Gar- ernment, which therefore also knows that Abdur Rahman's friendship cannot be bestowed exactly as he pleases. He is a very powerful prises within his own dominions, no doubt; but he also is subject-to-that force of public op! nion" which the greatest Sovereigos and states- man in Europe are sometimes compelled to acknowledge. Abdur Rahman chose, or if he thought it politie, or did he feel obliged, to give the word for a religious rising In bis own land and
