campaigning projects. While British troops are exposed to hardship and death in the endeavour to wring tribute for SHAH SOOJAH from his rebellious subjects, the potentate himself is said to be detected in intriguing to expel the British from his dominions by Persian aid : aggression from Persia appeared so imminent at Herat, that the British Political Agent fled in alarm : and a new subject for British intervention and annexation of territory is furnished in the Punjab, distracted by the conflicts of many usurpers. Troops are in motion everywhere ; and the cry is still for more. Awkward accounts these to come just after Mr. BARING'S Budget !
