Cetewayo has arrived at Ulundi, and, therefore, may be considered
fully restored. The correspondents contradict one another with the directness only observed in South-African, despatches, but the balance of evidence is in favour of the belief that the Zulus generally are pleased, though puzzled ; that one or two chiefs, notably Usibepn, are frightened to death; that the King is sulky at the cession of the Reserve, which is, apparently, to be called Dunnsland, but that there is no present danger of his disregarding the Resident. No change has been made in the agreement signed while he was here, but it might have been as well to leave him without a Resident. We shalt not want the responsibility for Cetewayo's acts, and if he dis- obeys the Resident, we shall only withdraw that officer, and not invade Zululand again.
