THE KAFIR WAR.

The following is an extract from a private letter, dated
Cape Town, May 2:—
" No official accounts or reports of proceedings in
British Kafraria nor on the eastern frontier later than
April 19 have reached Cape Town, but the information
contained in the newspapers of the paramount chief
Kreili having at length joined the war party, and of
having been actually engaged in hostilities against us
(his fidelity was always duubted), as also that the Gaikas
under Sandilli are becoming tired of the war, entirely
accord with the communications we have received in
letters dated King William's Town the 22d and 23d ult.,
and which were received yesterday."

and, as I conceived, an exorbitant ~:

was not made upon myself alone, but generally upon
the
Clergy ,of the- metropolis - holding rent charges
or glebe lauds, I determined to resist it, and I availed myself
of the ablest professional advice. The result is that this
charge has been reduced, and I have drawn your attention
to the subject in the hope that if you are subjected to the -
same grievance, you may have the satisfaction of obtaining ..
the same redress.—Believe me to be, reverend and dear sir,
