met with the trading caravans from Zanzibar, and delivered
the letters to liandukl, who has had them twelve months In

at ZansP,ar of the arrival of Livingstone at L'jip, half way
along the Lake Tanganyika, where it I. sattafactory to know
provisions, stores, and letters sent from England and Zanzi-
bar have long been waiting tor him The clear and &Mate
proofs obtained by the boat expedition to Lake Nyassa, under
the comniand of Mr. Young, quite &dulled most of my
eountryinen that i had judged rightly in adopting the belief
that the whole story of the murder of lir. Livingstone was a
falsehood lidt since then many have doubted the polisibi-
lity of my dear friend ever coming alive out of the heartiof
Africa. With our present cheering information everyone
may now, however, enjoy with me the prospect of once more
welcoming David Livingstone on his return loan admiring

Therraurraal Argus of January last publishes; the
follrwing interesting intelligence on the authority of
Captain J. Feuwiek ‘Vilkiuson :
The captain Informs us that he has jest arrived fr-dst
Mario., where he had seen Mr. Martinmas Swans, all ele.
pliant hunter, well known in this Republic, nod who bus jest
returned front one of his annual shooting CICUI.IIIIIIIII ill the
Interior, near the Zambesi rout whilst engaged hi hunting
at a certain point above the Victoria Falls, in the month of
July hot, he had spotkn in to a number of native., who in-
formed him that they had acted as guides to Lie. Li vingdone,
whom they praised highly, and who, they stated, had
dismissid them at the Chief Retanga, giving them at the
same time various presents. These natives had come a
distance of twenty des a' journey on foot from Central A (reit,
to whim Mr M. Swains met theni, viz , tnt some distance
above the Victoria Falls, an already stated. The Doctor
was well at the time they left, and no attempt had teen
made on his life on the contrary, he was exceedingly
popular, anti was enema here well received. Fr- ni what
these guides stated to Mr. Swart', it appears that the doctor
had explored 801110 very large river, and was about retracing
his steps when they left him. Cepopo is the name of a chiet
the "other side" of Retanga, whom they stated the doctor
had visited. We have no reason to dount the truth of this
information on the contrary we have entry reason to be-
lieve it to he correct, particularly as the information was
voluntarily given to Mr. Swart' by the natives, into seemed
to be proud of having acted as guides to the doctor, and at
the time this iuforniatim was volunteered to Mr. Swart, he
was not even aware that considerable anxiety was felt for the
fate of the Doctor t had he known this, he states, he would
have been more particular iti his intitairiea This intelligence
will, we doubt not, be hailed with extreme sat:slat:that
Wherever it is received.
