SOUTH AFRICAN NEWS.
•■ (.Pee Pbksß Agenct.) Cafe Town, September 24. Sir Bartle Frere is still at Natal whither the headquarters of the troops have* been removed. The general idea seems to be that Cetywayo is to be forced into revolt, a proposition which, so far as can be ascertained, he seems inclined to accept. There can be no doubt bat that Cetywayo •■ is influencing all the minor chiefs to rebellion, and though they are causing temporary trouble, the final result cannot be doubtful. ' There has been fighting in the Trans* v'aal, and recently a large body of English troops were caught in an ambuscade, and Were forced to retire, happily without loss; 'but bur'forces took an ample revenge, and in. one place alone were found 60 corpses of the enemy. ■ On the northern frontier the tribes in revolt are fighting among themselves, and are rendering their subjection more easy to us. The locating of the natives beyond the Kei is progressing satisfactorily, and the Goukas seem happy and contented with their new prospects.
