It is still less satisfactory to have it stated, as
the Daily News' Special Correspondent, Mr. Archibald Forbes, reports—and Sir Garnet's own latest despatch partly confirms—that Sir Garnet Wolseley is adopting the old policy of stirring up blacks against blacks, setting the Swazis to attack the Zulus from the north-west, setting Cetewayo's brother Oham to attack him from another quarter, and putting a price of 5,000 cattle on Cete- wayo's head. In the House of Commons, the Government, though extremely reticent, profess the most moderate feelings towards Cetewayo, and no intention of deal- ing harshly with him, if he should fall into our hands. But then, if the Swazis were to deal harshly with him, why that would be a different affair ; and we suppose the policy of Divide of impera, if not inculcated, would be accepted tacitly, and per- haps approved. All intentions of annexation, however, have been repudiated by Sir Garnet Wolseley to the native chiefs. He has told them that the Queen will not take any part of their territory, and will not even allow white men to acquire it.
