The fiossian general ,, who is « scanijpad with this force within two or three marches fuom Khiva , is by this treaty to- retrace his steps after the Nowroz festival , and take his station on the stipulated spot . These axe the articles of the treaty of Russia with : Khiva , which 1 have read with my own eyes . The King of Bokhara shows gxeart civility to the Khiva nobLemaao * who is accompanied ) by the agent of the Russian general .. Nothing had transpired as to what has Majesty- bad done , or intended to do , with the said ambassadors , until the departure of the messenger to Cabul , whom

      the Ameer has rewarded with 200 rupees for his journey over the snoTry passes , it is believed that the King of Bokhara , who has had a favourable iaipxession of Russia frooa a long period , wilL «* tax ; hioaself to that power , since he wild be tlnx * saved from the incursions of the Khiva . Alomana * upon one side , and the encroachments of the Affgbans on the other .

      , disg ^ iise a oaerehant . They jure leave Oa . bul in tlie beginning of the next month ( iRajaub , or April ) , Th « agent is requested to jdeliver the draft of the Asaeer ' s treaty in person to the Bassian general , arod obt > asa all sorts of satisfactory assurances fox their future fulfilment . The Dost had demanded of the GoTernmerat of St . Petersburg to famish him with dOOO Bussiaa troops , nnd the necessary funds to recover the Afl & han territories of Pesliawur and Cashmeer . When the answer to tliis comes from the

      Eassian general , with a sufficient sum of money from Khiva ( whence he has lately advanced , with a few officers , leaving his force behind ) , then the Dost will openly proclaim hl » alliance with . Russia , and go to meet the general on th « banks of the Ox its . The agents of toe Russian general vieh to return to Khiva by the Candaihar-road , bat the Ameer , being ' jealous of bi » brothers , i » throwing obstacles in theix way , and wants them to go through the Dehzuvgee , Rasta .
