The letter, which was taken to Stanley Falls by
a messenger, and which reached Brussels by post
last night, is the only one from Stanley which
reached the coast of Africa. number of other
letters which the messenger conveyed TO Stanley
Falls still remain there, but it is expected that
they viii arrive in Europe in two or three months.
Mr. Stanley's letter confirms the news OF his
arrival on the Aruwhim which was sent stimuli
tapeously from the east and west coasts of Africa
and published here on December %. The west
coest dispatch, it will be remembered said that
Stanley had arrived there with Emn. Doubt on
this point was generally entertained, and Stan
ley's letter shows that the dispatch from St
Thomas of December 81 incorrect, and that
Emin had not left his post. Stanley left Emin
on May 27, and arrived at Bona of Bonalya on
August IT. He agreed TO wait there ten days
for Tippoo Tib. OF his movements since August
81 nothing is yet known, but there is little
doubt of his return with an additional force to
Wadelai Bona of Bonalya where the letter
10 Tippoo lib was written, is branch OF the
Aruwhimi, some distance from Yambunga
