SAFETY OF Dr.. LIVINGSTONE. last foreign
mail settles the question of the safety of Dr.
Livingstone, the African explorer, who was re-
ported to have been killed by the natives on
the Zambes, The British war sloop Rapid has
brought q letter from Bishop Tozer, dated at
Murchison Falls lat the Luabo mouth of zambes
riverl, on the 2lst of December, which states
that DR.. Livingstone had come back from his
expedition up the country, and arrived at the
foot of the Murchison Falls in November, and
intended to come down the river as soon as the
water rose sufficiently to get the Pioneer down.
DIR. Livingstone and the Bishop and the party
were well in health. The mission party also
intended to leave the country, as it appeared
an unsuitable field, and would return to Eng
land by the Cape The Bishop and one of his
clergynen, however, were to visit the Governor
of Mozambique. These were all the contents Of
the Bishops letter.
