THE WEST COAST.
LATEST FROM THE FRONT. The attack by the rebels on the escort party, mentioned in our last, was a very feeble one—two shots only being fired and no damage done. Col. Whitmore, vigorously pushing after Titokowaru, came upon his camp early on the morning of the 13th inst. The rebels were seized with a panic upon hearing the first shot, which was fired prematurely. They fled precipitately, leaving seven or eight dead bodies behind them, together with the whole of their camp equipage, ammunition, arms, and baggage of every description Titokowaru has once more escaped, but it is believed for a few days only. The loss on our side was but one man killed and eleven wounded.
