TERMS GRANTED TO BOE.OO.

Now, hear my word to Kreli, sent through Bokoo
with Bokoo and Mapassa I make peace, and their
enemies shall be my enemies, and Bokoo and Mapassa
shall do all I order them. They must seize and send to
me, any cattle of the Gaikas which may be drives into
their country for protection; their people may sit and
reap their fields. Bokoo shall send to Kreli to say I
demand—

1. 500 head of cattle for the destruction of But-
terworth.

2. 1,000 head for the insults and injury done to the
raders.

3. That he drive out of his country every Hottentot,
and that he " eats them up "
4. That he expels from his councils that old enemy of
Government, Kiaba Klabs, and eats him up.
5. That he forfeits all claim to any authority on this
side of the Kye, and that he sends no message to any
chief on this side of it.

6. These things duly agreed upon between me and
four of Kreli's councillors, I will make peace with him
.when his councillors arrive, which must be in a few days.
or I will move the troops again over the Kei, sweep off
the rest of his cattle, and destroy his corps, while Faku,
Noriesi, Ludidi, Joi, and others, shall fall upon his once
rich fields, covered with herds and goats, and richly
cultivated—they shall be a desert and he an outcast.
What had Kreli to complain of when be did all he could,
as he called it, " to drive the English into the sea?"
Now, Krell must hear why I went to war:—
When the Gaikas went to war, Kreli saw that their
cause was an unjust one, and he sent me a dun ox
as an emblem of peace, and in token of his amity.
After this I placed confidence in him, and I would
not. believe the reports made me—that he was en-
couraging the Gaikas, and that many of his people
had joined in the war, and that others had robbed
and assaulted the traders over the Kei. I called upon
hint to account for this. Ile saw Mr. Conway; he pro-
mised fairly; sent messengers with Conway, promising
to satisfy all just demands as soon as the war was over.
I again believed him; he then ordered the mialionary
end trader* to withdraw from Butterworth, and dirr.cte.d
Unzuboo to see them out of the country, who refused,
and sail the duty was too great fur him, only a chief
under Kreli, that he (lireli) must come and dd it
himself.

The bold and firm conduct of the Rev. Mr. Gladwin
alone saved himself and the British.
Krell sent two messengers to Umhala and Pete, dr-
eiring them to "join to drive the English into the sea."
Umhala listened, but his people us a body did not.
Many, very many, of his young men and the minor chief,
Unafandisi, and all his people, joined the Gatkas. I have
fined Umhala one thousand head of cattle. Pato assem-
bled his people to hear the message, that Kreli might
know their feeling. The answer was, "We are all
English—you, Kreli, must send us no more messages."
Plato added, "If the English are driven into the sea I
will go with them." Krell next personally leads his
people with the Tambookies against the Boer commando,
which had moved against the Tambookies to the Um-
vani, but had not crossed into Krelt's country. The
Kafirs were beaten; many slain. Kreli's people fled on
horseback; Kreli, in order to stop them, jumped off his
horse, calling them to do so, but they fled.
The traders were again robbed; a Kafir escort of
Unhala's, with some waggons from the Kei fired on, two
of them wounded, their guns taken, traders' cattle
seizsd; redress was sought in vein. Krell laughed at
the application, and declared that he was at war. When
he sent me the ox of peace I desired him not to allow the
Gaika cattle to cross the Kei; he promised, but he
sheltered them. Where now is Kreli's great ox, Gu-
gumba? Taken by my people, and Kreli degraded.
These are the causes why I invaded Krell, and made
Faku, Nonesi, and others fall upon him. Faku had not
forgotten Kreli's treatment of his daughter.
Kreli has lost 30,000 head of cattle, 14,000 goats,
and many horses taken by the troops and
allies; hundreds of men slain. 7,000 Fingoes,
whom he held in bondage as slaves, who, having
thrown themselves under the protection of the troops,
brought with them 30,000 more cattle, have joined the
English and sought shelter in the colony. ICreli
now wants peace ; he would never have been.
at war had he listened to the advice of Bake°, a'?,l
Mapassa, and Umguboo, all of whom behaved well,
wonei_L!
Kreli ordered them to fight. How dare Krell say I :f'
to war alone to redress the injuries of the traders.tt.e That_ I
was cause sufficient, and for this I would havet ne:15:11.,75`

paid no heed to their attempt at parley. We hear, however,
that on the next day a parley was held, in the course of
which .the rebels said they had no objection to have peace,
Although they were not particularly anxious about it—they
had all they wanted excepting tobacco, in exchange for
which they would be glad to give ammunition. The parley,
however; ended in an attack by the Kafirs upon those en-
gaged in the parley, and this resulted in an engagement in
which the Colonial forces, under Captain Fisher, composed of
the Kat river people and Fingoes, retired with some diffi-
culty from the enemy, having succeeded in capturing eleven
head of cattle and five goats out of a herd of some thousands

cf cattle seen from the camp."
A letter from King William's Town, 30th ult., states
that " 1,000 head of cattle have been demanded of Um-
hale. for his misdeeds, and that provisional titles to the
elven have been granted this week." Another letter
states, " 12 canteens ere to be licensed at King Wil-
liam's Town." " Kisg William's Town, Feb. 1.—
Colonel Pole, commanding the patrol at the Cabousie,
