High Commissioner.

• Fort Murray, Feb. 10.
ITmhala, Kreli's chief counsellor, arrived here this day,
with the following message from the Chief Krell :
" Krell asks for peace. He begs that Ma.clean will speak
for him. He wishes Maclean to know that he has been
very severely punished. The Boers and troops entered his
country eight times, and each commando took a great many
cattle. Kreli wishes for peace, and he now sends 90 head
of cattle, and hopes that the Government will consider it
sufficient, as the troops have taken so many thousands from
him.

Scheepers, the re-captured convict, whose wanderings
after.his escape from our prison extended to the Zula
country, declares that there are Englishmen in Panda's
service, by whom his army is regularly drilled and
trained.

, THE CUSTOMS RETURNS.—The returns for the quarter
ending sth January exhibit a much nearer approxima.
tion of the value of imports and exports than has just
occurred. The imports show a very large falling off,
while the exports are-considerably increased.
Mr. Cato, who had been on a tour to the southward
of Natal, returned to that place on the 22d of January.
He had gone as far as the Unitata River, having pro.
ceeded' by the inland route, and returned along the
coast. Mr. Cole passed through the same country some
years back, and expresses himself astonished at the dif.
ferem4 in aie.condition of the native tribes. During his
former tour lie saw but few poople, but now he passed
through a dense population, who were rich in cattle and
bold in their bearing. He had seen what was said to be
the wreck of the Grosvenor, which occurred about 80
years ago ; but both Mr. Cato and his companion, from
indications which they saw, believed the fragments to
belong to a catastrophe of an earlier date.

" Krell says he never commenced a war with the Govern-
ment. The Gaikas have always got him into trouble; and
he has been punished for their sins.

"I have been also desired by Kreli to ask Fynn to re-.
turn to Butterworth, also the missionary and the-traders,
and he will,protect them. He never told them to leave his
country. On the contrary, when they went away he was
exerting himself to recover the property taken from the
traders.

" Sir,—l
-have the honour to 'report, for the information
of his Excellency the High Commissioner, that Yila,' a
counsellor of the chief Kreli, arrived here this morning,
with a bundle of assegais, sent by the chief Kreli to his
Excellency as a token of his; submission to her Majesty's
Government.—l have the honour to be, &c.,
" JOHN MACLEAN, Chief Commissioner."

PROCLAMATION.

BY HIS EXCELLENCY LIEUTENANT-GENERAL THE HON.

GEORGE CATHCART.

Whereas the independent chief Kreli has recently mani-
fested a desire for peace and reconciliation -with her Ma-
est
ty's faitlit‘ ;

And whereas, since the invasion of the territory of the
said chief in the month of August last, no acts of hostility
have been committed by his people, and no participation in
the Gaika rebellion subsequent to that period is chargeable
to them :

And whereas, in token of submission, a fourth instal-
ment of cattle has been voluntarily sent by the said chief
towards the final settlement of the small remaining portiori
of the fine imposed on him :

And whereas the said chief has also declared himself
severely punished, prayed for the remission of the re-
mainder of the fine, and humbly sued for peace :
Now, therefore, I do hereby, on her Majesty's behalf,
and by virtue of the powers vested in me, proclaim, de-
clare, and make known that all those remaining fines of
cattle imposed by my predecessors on the said chief Kreli
are hereby cancelled, and that peace and amity are hereby
restored between her Majesty and the said chief Kreli on
the following conditions only :
1. That the said chief Kreli shall continue in all things
true and faithful to his engagements.
2. That he shall recognise the line of the Indwe and the
Kei as the boundary between her Majesty's territories and
his own.

3. That he shall restrain and punish all attempts on the
part of his people to disturb the peace of her Majesty's sub-
jects, either in the lands allotted to the Tambookies or the
other tribes within her Majesty's territories, being on the
west side of the Indwe and Kei rivers.

4. That in the event of missionaries or traders being
again permitted to reside in the country of the said chief
Kreli, with his consent, they must conform to such agree-
ments as they may make for themselves with the said chief.
The Governor, on behalf of the British Government, will
have nothing to do with any such agreements, but will
hold the said chief responsible for the security of the lives
and property of those British subjects whom he may allow
to live within his territory.
5. That in case of cattle, horses, or other property being
stolen from the colony and traced into his country, the said
chief shall be bound to recover and restore the stolen pro-
perty, and to punish the thieves.
6. That the said chief shall, when demanded of him,
cause to be seized and delivered up to the nearest British
authority for trial according to law, all persons who shall
have committed, or who shall be reasonably suspected of
having committed, any murder robbery, or other offence,
within the limits of her Majesty's dominions, and who
shall be found in the territory of the said chief.
God save the Queen.
Given under my hand and seal at King William's Town,
this 15th day of February, 1853.
GEO. CATHCART,
Governor and High Commissioner.
By command of his Excellency the Governor and High
Commissioner.-

W. F. LIDDLE, Secretary to his
Excellency the Governor and her Majesty's
High Commissioner.

( From the Shipping Gazette of Feb. 25: )

Prospects of peace are at length being manifested on
the frontier. Kreli having deputed his chief counsellor
Umhala to sue for peace, his Excellency the Governor
has issued a proclamation announcing that this appeal
has been complied with upon certain conditions, which
are to the effect that he must be faithful to his engage-
ments, must recognise the line of the Indwe and Bei as
the boundary between her Majesty's territories and his
own, must assist in recovering stolen property traced
into his country, and also further the ends of justice by
causing the punishment of any offenders that may trans-
gress British laws. With respect to missionaries and
traders, his Excellency disclaims any intention of inter-
fering in any of their arrangements beyond holding the
chief responsible for the security of their lives and pro-
perty. _ _ _

S;ndilli had also deputed two special messengers to
acquaint the Governor that he, with Macomo, Anta,
and Tola, had crossed the Kei, and that Stock, Xoxo,
and Oba were about to follow ; that he was completely
beaten ; and, having obeyed the Governor's " word" by
crossing the Kei, "he now asked the Governor where
he might desire him to rest in peace."
A Government notice has been issued announcing the
Governor's intention of forming villages in the Keiskam-
ma Hoek, the territory formerly occupied by the Gaika
tribe, and applications are to be received (preference
being given to persons who have been Engaged in the
present war), for the various allotments of land. His
Excellency proposes to make these grants under ex-
tremely favourable conditions, such as providing the
several occupiers with agricultural implements, seeds,
and other necessaries, as well as rations for their families
for the first six months, an immediate and continued re-
sidence being a chief stipulation. Each village is to be
situated near some fort or garrison, and in case the pro-
ject should be abandoned by the home Government, com-
pensation is to be made to all who had been located and
had been put to expense.
Reductions in the various forces hitherto engaged are
immediately to take place. The following corps, &c.,
are to be discontinued at the end of the present month
—The Albany Rangers ; the Ist and 2d European Levy,
with its officers ; the Shiloh Fingo Levy and its officers ;
the junior captain and junior subaltern of the Ist Euro-
pean Corps ; the command, pay, and allowances to
Captain Stevenson as commanding the Mancazana dis-
triot ; and the Garrison Sergeant-Major at Whittlesea.
It is reported that the chief Kama has visited his Ex-
cellency at King William's Town, and that the object
of his visit was to propose removal from Kamastone, his
present location, to a position along the Keiskamma, as
a kind of frontier defence.
