Ꭰ my arrival at Khoord Cabool, in progress to Hindostan. I left Cabool yesterday morning with the 1st and 2d divisions, and the troops under MajorGeneral Nott, as per margin,* for Boodkakh, having detached Major-General Sir R. Sale, with the 1st and 2nd brigades, the mountain train, 1st light cavalry, 3d irregular cavalry, and Christie's horse, over the Gospund Durrah Pass, for the purpose of turning that of the Khoord Cabool; in consequence of which movement we marched through the principal defile without a shot being fired. Previous to my departure from Cabool, I destroyed with gunpowder the grand bazaar of that city, called the Chahar Chuttah, built in the reign of Arungzebe, by the celebrated Ali Murdan Khan, and which may be considered to have been the most frequented part of Cabool, and known as the grand emporium of this part of Central Asia. The remains of the late Envoy and Minister had been exposed to public insult in this bazaar, and my * 1st Division-4 guns 3d troop 1st brigade horse artillery, No. 6 light field battery, 2 18-pounders and detail E. artillery, mountain train, H.

Extract from a Letter to the Governor-General from Major-General Pollock. Jugdulluck, October 16, 1842. IT is very gratifying to be able to state, that we have met with no opposition since we left Cabool, except what must always be expected where the whole population is armed, and we have consequently had small parties of thieves occasionally firing on the rear guards. During each night that we have encamped, not a shot has been fired, and on the line of march not a man is to be seen on the hills.
