LATEST INTELLIGENCE.  (From the Graham's nwn Journal, July 26.) 'lice intelligence frLan King William's Town is to Cif. 231 inst., on the afternoon of which day a patrol, under the command of Colonel Michell, returned to quarters. They had been to the Keiskarnma, but came back without booty, nearly all the Kafir cattle, it is said, with a great many swept off from the co-I,my, having been driven to a distance, er placed for time among the herds of the friendly Kafirs. On the return of the p,:trol, the rear was attacked by a. strong party of Ksfirs under the Chief Seyolo, but these were soon repulsed, without loss on our side. The accounts state that the Fingees attached to Colonel Michell called out to the enemy to know if they had had enough, to which Seyolo replied, "that he had lost his country and his cattle, and did not desire peace, and if peace were attained, the Governor roust make it himself." A petrol under Colonel Eyre had been out since Monday, but not having returned no account is given of its movements. The news from Kreli's country is of a pacific character. Two messengers from the Chief Kreli arrived at King William's Town, on the evening of the 231, with a communication to the Governor, purporting that the Chief was now sensible of having committed a great error, and is willing to make every reparation in his power, and be responsible for any mischief which may have been done in his country. That he will maintain peace in his country so long as the war may continue here, and act with fidelity towards the colony under the eye of the British Resident, who he requests may be recalled to act as his future medium of communication. This is said to be the substance of the communication made to the Governor, whose answer had not been given at the date of the communication.  The accounts further state that messengers from Sandilli had arrived at the kraal of the Chief Pato, who had been sent for from Fort Murray to receive their communication. This is suppc3od to have some reference to terms of peace, but nothing beyond supposition is stated in the accounts transmitted. It is added that Sandi is greatly dfjected, and contemplates removing, with all his people, to the unoccupied country beyond the liye. Information has come in from General Somerset's CRialp to yesterday. The General had heard of the fatal affair on the Koonap hill, and had instantly deUched 100 men of the 74th Regiment, 30 of the European Levy, and a detachment of the Cape Mounted Rifles, under Lieutenant Green, the whole under the command of Captain --, 74th Regiment, to proceed to the scene of the murder, and to follow the banditti wherever they may pursue their murderous career.  The following has also come to hand by the same opportunity . " Yellow Wood Camp, July 25. " The Kafirs are very numerous about here, but they manage to escape most of our patrols !—although both men and horses are done up with hard work. The waggons from Ainslie that came here with supplies, when returning were attacked between Mancazana post and T. Webster's farm in the drift, and although escorted by 25 Fingoes and 8 Europeans, the combined force of Hottentots and Kafirs attacked them so fiercely that they succeeded in capturing the waggons and oxen and all they contained, including seven guns, 700 rounds of ball cartridge, blankets, &c., and killed one Fingo and wounded the two Suttons (father and son). Seven of the enemy fell, and were left on the ground." The following are the names of the persons killed and wounded in the affair at the Koonap Impey and Curley, of Fort Beaufort ; Messrs.
