THE ZULU WAR.

CAPILTOWN, MAI' 20, Afternoon. (By Telegraph
from Madeira).—Cetywayo despatched in rm.), to
Major-General Crealock on the Pith Mat., deriringlum
to send a European to discuss term, of vcact. John
Dunn WAN acconiingly sent to Cetewayo a kraal, ant
has since returned. It Is believed that the Inoue-
thnu. failed, in consequence of the ref.' on the
British side of any terms but uncondiamal surrender.
Cetywayo'e good faith in making propisala for peace
Li doubted.
The contemplated rapid march upon the Zulu Kim'.
kraal at Ulundi has been abandoned. The difficulties
connected with the transport service are increasing
owing to the scarcity of gram.
It is thought probable that Cetywayo will shortly
throw hie whole atrength against the Lower 'ramie
column. The health of the troops at the camps h im-
proving.
It is rumoured that Dabulamansi, while ,st hi. way
to surrender to the British authorities, tan bees
intercepted by an impi and killed.
It is also reported that Major Chard, who ifis
tinguished himself at Rorke's Drift, has died of beer
at Helismakaar.

A great fire broke out at Greytown on the Mb Mt.
Eleven hundred sacks of flour and grain and other
commissariat stores were destroyed.
Sir Bartle Frees arrived at Kimberley on the 151 i
ult., and was enthusiastically welcomed.
The Free State Volksrad, acting against the advice of
the President, kw adopted re.,lutions expressing a
hope that the independence of the Transvaal will be
restored.

Thee--electiona In Cape Town for the Honer
Assembly have resulted in the return of Mews.
Farmer, Stigant, and Fuller, Ministerialisli. Mr.
Saul Solomon, who opposed Sir Bartle Freer, policy,
was at the bottom of the poll.
DuanAN, May, 13th.—Great impatience is manifested
by the colonists now at the tardiness lif the operations
for renewing the campaign. With the Mee fees in
the enemy', country, and the rapid advance .4 the
winter or dry weather, the transport system is coming
to a collapse.
Matters are very quiet here, and trade almost at
standstill, with the pe,hilitive prices for transport. At
present from here to Pietermaritzburg it is a pound
sterling per hundredweight, and it is expected iflortip
to be two pounds sterling per hundredwelght. Of
course at this figure it is impossible for merchant, to
send goods into the country. The military autlwities
are outbidding civilians in all directions for wagons for
transport.

Donal, Mea.
d
Lost week an emissary of Cetewayo,
Mundwana, and two others, appeared at Fort
Chelmsford on a mission from the King to sue for
peace. John Dunn wee sent by General Crealotk to
treat. H. 557. that Cetewayo expressed Norio at
the treatment to which he had been subjected
reiterated his unwillingness to fight ; said thet
quarrel was not of his own seeking, aid that lee
desired to live at peace as the White Ma's goe,
Referring to his coronation, be asked. "Wb
do they make me king in the mor,tm ai
kill me in the afternoon? What ha... I dau.?
The reply was given that he must show by deeds, not
words, the sincerity of his wishes 'Ad that Übe mad
him chief men submitted they would sot be km*
dealt with. The messengers wr.,re also told that all
further representations most be geode to the Ulan*
at Utrecht. The nteeter. are reported to kew
said:—" Why do the 7-Anglia hide 1&s web.m.
holes? Let than come out and fight in the aPed•II
they beat, we suntnk at once."
John Dunn believes in the sincerity of the &abhor,
and eacertelasci that all the chiefs, ipthadilf
Dabulamassi, whom rumour ha. so ohs' db.'', ewe
at the Ring's kraal, and the regiments dm=
Joha Dunn gives it am his opinion that
