Dubalmanzi who led the attack on Ginele
Iowa the third inst, and the other chiefs
with large armed body followiog have
profered submission. Lord Chelmsford
promised them personal safety and DOS
session Of their cattle, but pending war
they should be located on British terri
tory. John Dunn having pledged his word
for their safety the chiefs are expected in
at once. The head of the intelligence de :
partment has moved forward from Gray
town to meet the representatives Of Cete-
wayo. but the sincerity of his proposals is
suspected. John Dunn has gone to Dur
ham, his presence at headquarters is
thought necessary to secure the subm:s-
sion of the chiefs. Everything points to
early peace but meanwhile war operations
are actively proceeding, aud an advance
on the Kings Krgal seems certain from
Colonel Woods direction. Whether
peace or not John Dunn, formerly Cete-
wayo's adviser, asserts CetewaYO' pride is
broken. Before the war he regarded the
British as useful neighbors hut contempt
ible in strength and partly from good
feeling and partly from incredlbility Of
their ability to molest him, Cetewayc
refused to molesr the United States. Now
he sees bis mistake and providing he gets
good terms personally he will come IL.
