Meanwhile, a decree has appeared, convoking both the
Senate and Legislative Corps for the 29th instant.
The President of the Republic imposes on members of
the Corps Legislatif the necessity of wearing a particular
costume. The coat of blue cloth, cut straight, embroi-
dered, is to bear nine buttons, with the golden eagle;
white waistcoat and eagle buttons ; white pantaloons, with
gold stripe ; hat and black feather, and sword with an
eagle on the handle.
The decree relative to the University,
lished on Wednesday, has excited much attention, as it
completely destroys the independence of the principal pro-
fessors. The decree enacts that the President of the Re-
public may appoint and revoke at will the members of the
superior council, the inspectors-general, the rectors, and
professors of faculties. The members are to be nominated
for a year, and are to be presided over by the Minister of
Public Instruction.

of no hollow truce, but to carry on the war until
peace in reality, as well as in name, should be
established on a firm basis, it is the evident duty of the
commander-in-chief to employ his now well-tried troops in
enforcing that submission which Great Britain has a right
to expect, and also to carry out the terms of his precla-
mation of the 31st December, IMO, in which the expul-
sion of the Gaikas from the Amatolas was determined
on. Until such expulsion has been effected, we hesi-
tate not to state that the governor is not in a posi-
tion to receive any overtures of peace. When every
Gaika shall be driven to the east bank of the Kei, then
may we sheath the sword of conquerors, and then may
the harrassed farmers again resume their field operations
and rear their flocks or herds in security. We fully believe
that Sir Harry Smith takes this view of the subject, and
by way of earnest has now directed a movement in seven
columns upon the Amatolas, from which we hope to hear
a good issue."
