The news from South Africa is a little ambiguous. On
the one hand, it is certain that a great many of the coast chiefs— the chiefs in the neighbourhood of Port Duniford—have made their submission, and are disposed to accept for the present the orders of the British Government,—the general tendency of which appears to be, if we may judge by the reports of Sir Garnet Wolseley's proceedings, to depose Cetewayo, to break up the Zulu chiefs, by giving each of them a portion of the laud to govern, and assigning to each of them a Euro- pean adviser or resident. Sir Garnet met a largo number of Zulu chiefs at Emangwene on July 19th, and ex- plained the intentions of the British Government. Some of them had already declared their desire to have John Dunn, as a white king over them, for "they were lost," they said, "and knew not where to go." So far the news is satisfactory, but on the other hand, it is clear that the hasty retreat from Ulundi has encouraged Cetewayo and the inland chiefs; and that a second advance of a considerable portion of the troops is held to be essential to any satisfactory termination of the war.
