absence of news from the seat of war IN

main body of the Beers composed OF the
forces recently holding Thabanchu. Leeuw

with a view to joining in the neighborho"d
of Iadvbrand. the commandos from the
vicinity of Wcpeucr, who. according 70 4
display from Alwalnovth. dated April
2Sth. made good their retreat To Lady
brand. The main body of the Beers IS
being followed by Generals Hamilton,
French. Brabaut and Hart. while General
Rumble also is on the spot.
