dor has demanded the retroccssion of Kuldja to
China. despatch from Orenburg to the Golos

the Zulu war matter, similar to that introduced
by Lord Landsdownc in the House of Lords on

charged the government with not censurng the
latter until notice was given Of the present
motion, although dispatches were constantly
arriving which showed that he meant war. The

of the Zulu army and the warnings they had re-
ccived from Sir Bartle Frcrc and Lord Chelms-
ford that hostilitics were unavoidable" IIe also
