Captain Harvey Tuckett has written a letter to the papers

this morn- ing to throw discredit on the accounts of the disasters in Cabal. They are, he says, derived from a letter which professes to be from Dr. Brydon, and to be dated Jellalabad, 18th January : the mail left Bom- bay on the 1st February : now, by the shortest route, it would take twenty .four days to go from Jellalabad to Bombay. Captain Walsh, who is said to have been left as a hostage, had written a letter a month since, to say that he was safe with General Sale. Captain Trevor's death was announced by the last mail. Other discrepancies are men- tioned.
