PiETER.MAim7.BURG, Last Night,

Mr Sanders recommends the imposition of a fine on Signandi of a thousand cattle and its collection in the presence of a white force. Such a course would be in the nature of an ultimatum to the suspected chiefs. Three hundred light infantry and a section of artillery at Durban are mobilising. The artillery will proceed to Dundee.
