ARRIVAL OF THE BOSPHORUS.

The Cape mail packet Bosphorus arrived at Pen-
zance yesterday. She left the Cape of Good Hope on
February 3. The Karin proposed to come to terms,
but Sir Barre Smith would only listen to uncondi-
tional surrender. One week was allowed for deli-
beration, after which the British army entered the
country of the Kaffir, and utterly di stroyed their
crops. The war was considered to be at an end.
The following is the monthly summary of the
Cape Monitor of the 3rd Feb. :

Oar last monthly sanative appeared in the Monitor of
the 27th Dec. last. On the following day, Sunday, the
mail steamer Hellespont left for England at 7 p.m., four
hours alter the arrival of the frontier post of 23rd Dec.,
but without any important intelligence from the expedi-
tion across the Great Kei against the chief Krell.
We are thus obliged to return to the middle of that
month, and to accompany the separate divisions under
Major General Sornerst t and Lieut.-Col. Eyre successively,
—the termer havinf moved down the Kei towards its
junction with the T'bomo.
The Majoe-Oemaral's lora, which had left Whittlesea
under 1,000 statimg, now amounted to 4,000 men, including
Capt. Tylden s soaps of 219 hone and 320 foot, and Co.
Mackinaea's alma. with Licut.-Col. Michel, 6th Regi-
ment, Fines; b, throe pieces of ordnance, and a train of
100 Commimorialt was

Neck ;" awl thethenetheelthet hhel, with the6th Royal
Warwickshire", Rifles, sad Feet Peddle Magma, from the
south-east—this division NOBS the almost inaccessible
mountain's breast, and deities the enemy, with vast herds
of cattle, over it. These anted their retreat under cover
of a dense fog. Capt. Tylies, however, secured 1,030 head
of cattle, beudes hones and goats, with the lose of two men
killed slid two wounded.

The enemy, with cattle, having thus fallen back
upon Kreli's country, the three divisions rejoined and fol-
lowed on the 11th over some tributary streams which feed
the Kei, and working down the left bank of that river. On
the pith they reached the Kid Drift, and next day pro-
ceeded to the 1"Somo, arriving there on the 18th, and on
the 19th scouring its kraals towards the Kei, but without
finding opposition or cattle.
On the 20th, having moved over the T'Soato northwards,
the major-general came upon the spoor of the retreating
cattle, and dividing his force into four divisions—under Col.
Mackinnon, Lt.-Cul. I'ole, 12th lancers, Lt.-Col. Napier,
C.M.lt., and Capt. Tylden, with the Whittlesea force—
overtook them on the 22nd, under the Ulkello Swings
mountains, and captured several thousand head.
Lt.-Cul. Nepier's party meantime killed 30 Kann and
took 1,000 bead, Col. Mackinnon a large number, and Capt.
Tylden WO Arad.
On the 29th December, the major-general was in pares-
sion of between 5.000 and 6,000 cattle.
The whole of thou operations had been carried on under
incessant rain, and in a country presenting natural obstacles
of every description.

aware of the precise reasons for arranging this treaty with
those chiefs.

Major Eardley Wilmot, 8.A., commanding at Fort
Peddle, fell on New Year'e-day, singled out from his com-
panions by the rebel's ride. Ibis brave and accomplished
omcer, nuUi seconarlus, perished in the Fi.h River Bush,
whilst lending on his men. No amount of Kafiir wolves or
Hottentot scoundrels can expiate the loss of such men u
Fordyce and Wilmot.
We have not space to fill up the list of casualties which
have occurred during the past six weeks, nor to detail the
losses of the Bonner colonists.
Monday, February 2.—The frontier post ihu just
brought intelligence down to the 27th January, holding out
a prospect of peace, which we would gladly receive, but
that pros.
Sandilli, Ants, Stock, Tole, and the rest are
yet free in their mountain fastnesses; and some of our
hard-earned cattle are, it is said, again fulling into the hands
of the foe; whilst the frontier press doubts the possibility
of making other than a hollow peace until the enemy be
thoroughly humbled.
Private letters inform us that the Koffirs or. perfectly
unsutulned, and mocking us with a request for peace until
they have procured ammunition and reaped their crop
A portion of the raptured cattle was distributed as fol-
lows:-8,500 head to the 2nd division, 4,300 to the Ist
division, and 1,400 to Captain Tylden's force. 8,0001., the
proceeds of the tale of the largtr number, will, it is said,
be divided amongst the bad division, being about 2J. a man.
This leaves a large balance of cattle unaccounted for.
The Butterworth lingoes, with their 30,000 head of cat-
tle, are reported to have been delayed for a night on the
banks of the Kei, whereon the Kaflirs pounced on them
and captured a number, that is stated to have been at the
lowest 6 000. , . .

The movement on the Anatole 'Mountains it now being
made in four columns, under Liout.-Col. 12th Lan-
cers; Lieut• Col. Eyre, 73rd Regiment; Michel,
6th Regiment; and Capt. Catty. The particulars are given
in Ueueral Orders elsewhere.

Meanwhile, •rural police is formed at Fort Beaufort,
consisting of two captains, eight lieutenants, 10 sergeants,
10 corporals, and 400 (cobured)privates; also two divisions
of Kaffir police, each consisting of one lieutenant, two ser-
geants (European) two ditto (native), two corporal,. 26
stountetl, and 2,. dismounted privates; and Mr. M. B.
Shaw is appolated British Resident in the whole territory
°mending bon the river Kci to Natal, and from the Quath-
lambs mmeiplekr io the sea.

141rthitv flifloretitioas Wad robberies have taken place, and
the gory wounds of another mangled corpse, that of Junes
Howse, Esq testify afresh against the relentless Hottentot
crew. Mr.Howse was the largest landed proprietor on the
eastern frontier, and possessed not only wealth but well-
deserved influence.

GE.VERAL ORDER.

Head-Quarter, ling Villa's Town, Jan. 23.
The rebel Kaffir chiefs having on the llith inst. formally
sued for peace, it was intimated to them, through the Gaika
commissioner, that her klajesty " cannot treat with rebels ; "
that " their surrender must be a general and unconditional
surrender, trusting to her Majesty's clemency," and the,
" this tendered in a solemn manner and in good faith, hos-
tilities would cease."

Eight days have now elapsed since the rebels were made
ac insulted with his excellency', decision ,• and the demand
for submission not having been comp'.ied with, operations
against them will be continued with every activity. The
troops will take the field on the 26th and 27th inst., in seven
columns, to penetrate the Amatolas, and the country of
Seyolo, Stock, Tola, and Zalini, on the left bank of the
Keiskamma ; and to spoil the cattle, and devastate the
crops of the enemy. The Konica say they will fight no
more; but until the object in view, via., their uncondi-
tional submission, be thoroughly effected, hostilities will
Continue. _

During the prosecution of these operations, all the re-
gular and burgher posts along the line of frontier, and in
the interior line, are desired to be moat alert in patrol-
ling, watching, and waylaying, night and day; and
they will arrest, when possible, all straggling Hottentots
and Kaffirs by every means tolerated by civilised war. A
vigorous observance of these instructions will much aid the
troops in their operations, and ensure the subjugation of
these rebels and bandits.
