CAPE TOWN.
January 4,
News has been received from Basutoland that the patrolling force of Cape Rifles under Colonel Carrington has safely returned to the camp at Mafeteng, after having come up with a convoy of provisions, arms, and ammunition, which had been despatched from head-quarters for the use of the garrison. The arrival of the convoy has materially strengthened Colonel Carrington's position. Further news to hand shows that the recent defeats of the Basutos, Pondomies, and Tambookies by the colonial troopß have had a good effect on the other tribes. The Tembus, who had also joined in the rebellion, are now yielding, large numbers of the tribe having recently submitted to the Cape forces which were operating against them.
