FOREIGN.
End of the Zulu War.

LONDON, August A Capetown dis,
patch says: Chief Morosi has submitted,
and the present trouble with the Basu-
tos. therefore, is settled, but much dis
content still exists. II is feared there
will be a severe famine next year in Zu-
luland, as it is now seed time, and no
land is being sown, while much seed
has been destroyed and many cattle
seized. King Cetewayo, when leaving
the battle field of Uludi, told his chiefs
10 look TO their own safety and seek
terms of peace as best they could. His
army is broken up, the nation dispersed
and the king fugitive. Zululand Will
probably be divided into three or four
separate principalities, each under the
rule of an independent nbble. Cete-
wayos brother Oham, will receive his
own territory under this arrangement.
Trouble in Transvaal
Rumors are rife of impending trouble
in Transvaal. 1t is feared that if
the colonial ministers take energetic
measures with regard TO that province
immediate disturbance will ensue. The
announcement of the dispatch OF troops
and the approaching visit OF Sir Garnet
Wolsely have probably disquieted the
Doors.
LONDON, August 4.-COrrespOndents
in South Africa agree that the capture OF
Cetewayo is all important, because as
long as he is free he will remain a
center of conspiracy and mischief. Gen.
Wolsley, however, has no intention OF
pursuing him with British troops, as the
nature of the country renders such
course impracticable. His policy rather
is TO stir up the neighboring tribes
against the King. Agents have been
sent to Swazies and Amatorgas with this
object in view, and 5000 cattle have
been offered Oham if he will capture
his brother. One telegram says
price has been set upon
Cetewayo's head. General Wolsley, in
addresses TO number OF the chiefs, July
18th, informed them that he had no de-
sire to take any of their territory, but
that Cetewayo was fugitive and could
never more be King. Gen. Wolsley had
summoned all the native chiefs To meet
him at Emangwere, about nine miles
north of Umlastoosi river, July 18th, to
hear the final words of settlement. The
chiefs at the meeting on July 18th, de-
clared that the Xula nation had now no
head they wished to have no more
black Kings, and said they would prefer
John Dunn for King. They promised
to bring all the chiefs of the coast
districts to the Emangwere meet
ing. These tribes, however, do
not constitute the most warlike part OF
the nation. 4 flying column started for
Emangwere on July 18th, to prepare for
the meeting OF Gen. Wolsey and staff.
1t is reported from Luneburg that
Cetewayo, with 400 followers, is en-
deavoring TO escape across the northern
border to join SecoeOeni. The authon-
ties are keeping good lookout for MIN.
John Dunn and other well informed
parties think there is great probability
that Cetewayo will be killed by his fol-
lowers if he continues to make trouble
All the Zulus wounded at the battle OF
Ulundi were killed by a native contin-
gent in the employ OF the British.
Diverting the Course of the Po.
LONDON, August A dispatch from
Rome saws that Garibaldi recommends
scheme for diverting the course OF the
River Po. He would have the river
communicate in a straight line with
Milan, thence by northerly bend with
Turin and by deepening its bed would
secure direct communication with the
sea.

LONDON, ,August4-The Wesleyan con-
ference of Birmingham has adopted a
report in favor OF the Ecumenical con-
ference, proposed by the American
Wesleyans, and have appointed com
mittee TO make arrangements.
Disastrous Storm.
LONDON, August 1.-The most severe
storm for many years ragged here on
Saturday night. The storm was attend
ed by fall OF hail stones about five
inches in circumference. The damage
to glass arouud London amounts to
thousands of pounds sterling In a
great part of Bedforshire the hay crop
is completely swept away; and many
cattle drowned. New Market and neigh
borhood are flooded. The rain fall at
Buchinghamshire is estimated at 20
tons per acre. Damages by food and
lightning are also reported from Cam
bridge, Norfolk, Guilford, Leicester,
Bath and Monmouth. The storm was
terribly severe in the Valley of the
Thames. Immense injury is done TO
the growing crops. The damage by rain,
hail, and inundation is irreparable this
season. The loss of life is not serious.

Madrid reports that it is said in official
circles that the marriage Of the King OF
Spain with Agustrian, Arch Duchess
