THE KAFFIR WAR.

(IT ILICTIJC TKLIOILAPTII
(PROM 001 OWN COZSIISIPONDIRT
PORTSMOUTH, TRUISDAY MORXINO.

The Amazon, 28, Captain Barker, arrived at
fipithead this morning from the East Indies and the
Cape of Good Hope. She has five days later news
from the latter place, having left Simon's Bay on
the 7th of March. The Mews had not arrived
at that date.
'futilities had been partially suspended by the
Kaffir*, who had sued for peace; but, as they would
not agree to the terms of unreserved submission
which Sir Harry Smith laid down, he was arranging
a plan of operations on an effective scale, and would
take the field on the sth of March, with the whole of
the levies, with whom, in person, he intended to cross
the Kei.

Colonels Mitchell and Eyre, in the Antidotes, had
been cry successful. They had destroyed the
whole of the crops,teken large quantities of eattle,and
killed twenty of the enemy, with a loss to the British
of three killed and wounded.
The Cape Town Mail says :

From a private source we learn that Colonel Mitchell's
parts on p.itrul in the Amatola bed been successful in die.
promo or destroying a codsiderable number of llottontwle,
who are described as having been encamped in a retired
lwenty.six of these men were killed by the
party under Colonel Mitchell, and the rest fled and eon-
ceulel themselves in the bush. This place was presumed
to be the bead-quarters of the rebel Nithaalder. Colonel
Eyre was in pursuit of some considerable droves of tattle.
The friend:y chiefs continued to deliver up small lute of the
enemy's cattle.
A report was current in Cape Town that Itiebeek,
where there is a post with about forty mcu, had been
attacked by a huge body of Kaffirs, and that the
own had taken refuge in the church.
A desperate engagement had taken place on the
north-eastern frontier, between a patrol under Com-
mandant Giltillan and a arge body of Tambookice, in
which the latter lost 100 men and 1,000 head of
cattle; the burghers had five killed and three
wounded.

Mai smo retained his hold of Waterkloof, with,
besides, his own clan, 2,300 allies. Their expulsion
appeared almost hopeless.

Colonel Cole and the 12th Lamas had tkittroyad
all the enemy's crops in the Kabonea.
General Cathcart had not arrived at the Cape.

The Amazon has brought home the survivors of
the Dirkenhead's crew. Not a single other survivor
bad been heard of than thole already reported.
The Dutch barque Juno, Captain Chevalier, hoes
Batavia to Dordrecht, was wrecked March 2, on the
fatal Cape Laguelhas, and two ladles and three child-
ren, passengers, were drowned.

IMPORTANT ALTERATION IN THE MAIL

SERVICE.

It is in contemplation to make the foreign steam-
pack,ta now sailing from the port of Southampton touch at
Plymouth to lead and cash -irk mails and passengers, there-
by st.int at least sixteen hours io the delivery of letters in
1...0d.in and Liverpool, time in each matters being of the at-
most iinpurtaaas to the commercial community as well a to
government. This alteration cannot fail to give satis-
faction to the public, as well as to the urge steam
companies, thereby lessessiag the mit of tieeidents by oil-

Feb. II Mr. Mame is uswell in the beat, and Cap-
tain Guam venoms to a tent to make room,
March 13. This tent, nomad a hermitage by Captain Gar-
dim, is burned down. It appears two casks of biscuits
and one of pork had been buried at Picton Island, to dis-
member the boats, and nourishing food being wanted, as
Mr. Williams and J. Madam's have got the 'Curry, they
resolve to go to ricton Island for it, which they reach on
the 23rd of Much, intending to remain there till the ex
pected vessel arrives from England with stores. Having
got these provisions on board, and finding the natives *ill
troubbisome, they print the notices on the rocks mentioned
above, buried some bottles, and returned to Spaniard Har-
bour on the 29th of March.

In the beginning of April another of the party (J. Bryant)
gets the scurvy, and the disease gaining on the others, they
become enfeebled in consequence.
April 23. They have provisions enough to last for two
months, but some are very low ; and a fox pilfering from
them they kid him by putting apiece of pork opposite the
muzzle of a gun attached by a string to the trigger, and
as they can only issue pork three times a week, they dine
off this fox and salt the remainder. Altogether they ap-
pear to have been very frugal with their supplies. I hind a
notice of five large fish caught, and an account kept of the
number of ducks shot ; as their powder having been left on
board the ship, and a flask and a half being all they have,
they keep it for emergencies.
May 13, is a note of the biscuit being short : and alto-
gether, as they have not supplies for more than three weeks,
all but the sick go on short allowance.
May 19. The preserved meat is out, and Mr. Williams
appears to be failing.
May 22. Set apart for special prayer on behalf of the sick,
for supplies of toad, and the arrival of the expected vessel.
Frequent mention is made of the tide washing into the
cavern, carrying away their stores, and endanguing their
sleeping boat, which they endeavour to counteract by build-
ing breakwaters of stones, but in the night the surf washes
away their work of the day; on one occasion I find Captain
Gardiner and Mr. Maidzsest have to escape from the cavern
to save their lives, and taking refuge on a rock sashed by
the surf, they kneel down in prayer.
June 11. J. Irwin, another of the party, takesthesseurvy,
and misfortune seems hovering around them ; their fishing
net is swept away, and J. Badeeek dies on Nth June, and
is buried on a bank under the trees at Cook's River; after
performing the last oflioes, they retire to their boat for
prayers.
July 4. Having been seven weeks on sheet allowance,
and latterly even this having been curtailed, the party ere
utterly helpless. Everything found in the shape of food
is cooked and eaten ; a penguin, a shag, a half-devoured
fish washed up on the shore, and even the salted fox
washed out of the carer's, is thrown up again on the beach,
and used fur food. Captain Gardiner writes "We have
sow remaining half a duck, about Ilb. of salt lark, the
saw quantity of damaged tea, a very little rice (a pint),
swe alms of chocolate, tour pints of peu, to which I may
add ail mice. The mention of this last item in our list of
pmeisiswe may startle some of our friends should it ever
wank their ears ; but, circumstanced as we are, we partake
aft= with • relish, and bate already eaten several of
*sent they are very tender, and taste like rabbit."
July 12. They are reduced to living on mussels, and feel
the want of feud, end sometimes the craving of hunger is
distressing to them. Captain Gardiner writes—" After
living en mussels the a fortnight, I was compelled to give
them up, and my bed is now mussel broth and the soft part
of limgefe?'
July>E. Ca Gardiner writes of the party in the
ether Immet—" They are all extremely weak sad helpless.
Zees their gmden seeds, used for broth, are now all eat."

Sept. 8. Mr. Maidment has never recruited from that',
' day of bodily and mental exertion. The remaining remarks
I transcribe literally, and they must speak for themselves.
Sept. 3. Wishing. if possible, to "spare him (Mr. Muid •
aunt) the trouble of attending on me, and for the 'mutual
comfort of all, I purposed, if practicable, to go to the river,
and take up my quarters in the boat ; this was attempted
on Saturday last. Feeling that without clincher I could '
not possibly effect it, Mr. Maidmeat most kindly cat me a
pair (two forked sticks), but it was with no slight exertion
and fatigue In his weak state. We set out together' but
soon found that I had no strength to proceed, and was
obliged to return before reaching the brook over our
own beach. Mr. Maidment was so exhausted yesterday
that he did not rise from his bed until noon, and hove
not seen him since, consequently I tasted nothing 'cater-
, day. I cannot learn the place where I um, and know not
whether he is in the body or enjoying the presence ofl
the gracious God whom he hoe served so faithfully. I
am writing this at ten o'clock in the forenoon. Blued
be my Heavenly Father for the many mercies I esjoy, a
comfortable no pain, or even cravings of hunger,
though excessively weak--scarcely able to turn in my bed,
at least it is very great exertion; but I am, by his
abounding grace, kept in perfect peace, refreshed with a
sense of my Saviour's love, and an assurance thin all is
wisely and mercifully. appointed ; and pray that I may
receive the full blessing which it is doubtless destined
to bestow. My care is all cast upon God, and I am
only waiting His time and His good pleasure to dispose
of me as He shall see St. Whether I livo or die,
msy it be in Him. I commend my body and my soul to
Ilia are and keeping, and earnestly pray that He will take
