Lahore, Gen. Roberts telegraphs
from Piewar Khatole, under date of
the 3d, as follows; During -the night
of Dec. Ist, the Afghan position was
surprised by a flank march over
Spengwai Pass. We surprised the
enemy at davhreak of the 2d, when
the seventy-second Highlanders and
Fifth Goorkahs drove the Highland
Afghans from several positions.
They afterwards endeavored to reach
Piewar Khatole, but the assault could
not be delivered on that side. We
then threatened the enemy in the
rear and attacked and carried Piewar
Khatole about 4 o’clock in the after
noon. The enemy had on the previous
evening received a reinforcement of
four regiments. They.fought desper
ately. Their artillery was well
served. Their defeat, however, was
complete. We captured e’ghteen
guns and a large quantity of ammuni
tion.
The British parliament convened
to-day. The queen’s speech, read in
the house of lords, was unusually
short. Her majesty regrets being
compelled to summon parliament
earlier than usual, hut the action of
the ameer of Afghanistan compelled
the sending of an expedition into his
territory, and the earliest opportuni
ty has been taken to call the parlia
ment together and make to it the
communication required by law. Pa
pers on the subject will be laid before
parliament. Assurances from all for
iegn powers are friendly, and there
is every reason to believe the arrange
ments for the pacification of Europe
made by the treaty of Berlin will he
aatisfactorily carried out. Estimates
for the ensuing year will in due time
be submitted to the house of commons.
After full deliberation upon the mat
ters which have led to the early meet
ing of parliament, and altera suitable
recess, parliament should proceed to
the consideration of measures for the
public benefit, which will then be
laid before.

The ameer criticizes the professed
friendly intentions of the British gov
ernment. and alludes to its action in
the past, especially its intercession in
behalf of Yakoob Kalin, as contra
dictory of such intentions. The ameer

Gen. Sir Norville Chamberlain’s mis
sion was not intended to be hostile,
but arose from fear of the loss of his
independence, an apprehension which
was confirmed by an allusion in the
ultimatum to protection being given
to the Khyber who had been engaged
in escorting the mission. The ameer

ment, that he desires to resume the
former friendly reluions. and finally
