Lonpon, July 23.

In the House of Commons, this after- noon, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the Colen- ial Secretary, announced the receipt of a telegrain from Cape Town, dated July 8th, giving news of the decisive victory gained by Lord Chelmsford, virtually ending the war. Lord Chelmsford remained in camp till after July 3rd, awaiting the surrender of the cannon and 15,000 rifles captured by the Zulus at isandula. These not arriving, he advanced and was attacked in the open country by 15,000 Zulus, whe fled under the heavy fire from the British. Lord Chelmsford then advanced and destroyed Ulundi. The Zulu loss is 800. The Brit- ish loss is 10 killed and 53 wounded. The battle was fought on July 4th. The Zulus were variously estimated at from 10,000 to 20,000. <A large number of them surround- ed the British troops, who were formed into a hollow square. The Zulus charged the square on all four sides, but were re- pelled, and after the Zuins were breken by the British fire they were pursued by the cavalry and utterly routed.

Lord Chelmsford burned and destroyed all the military kraals and returned to camp the same evening.

A detailed official telegram from Lord Chelmsford says :—

**Cetewayo not only failed to comply with my demands for the return-of the cannons, etc., but he tired heavily on our watering parties. 1 consequently returned the cattle he had sent in, »ud ordered a re- connoisance te be made by Colonel Buller’s horse. This caused the Znle army to ad- vance and show itself on tio morning of July 4th. My force, cousistivg of General Newdigate’s division and (seneral Wood’s column, aggregating 4,00) Huropeans and 1,000 natives, 12 cannon and 2 gatlings, crossed the Umvolosi river at 6.15 a. m.

‘The force reached an excellent postition between Enandwago and Uenentdawango and Ulundi, about 8.80 a.m. The Zulu army had been observed leaving its bivouac about 7.30. The engagement was shortly after commenced by the mounted men. At 9 o'clock the Zulu attack was fully de- veloped. At 9,30 the enemy wavered, and the lancers, followed by the remainder of the cavalry, attacked them, and a general rout ensued.”

‘*The prisoners state that King Cetewayo was personally commanding, and witnessed the fight from a neighboring Kraal. The Zulu prisoners state that 12 regiments of 20,000 men participated in the attack.”

‘‘Lord Chelmsford estimates the Zulu loss at not less than 1,000. Ulundi was burning at noon. The steadiness of the troops, who at one time during the engage- ment were under a complete belt of fire, was remarkable. The dash and enterprise of the cavalry was all that could be wished. The fortified camp had been left in charge

of 900 Enropeans and 251 natives. <A por- tion of the Zulu forces at one time threat-

ened to attack it. The news of the batt was brought by special steamer to St. Vineent’ Alarge body of Zulus surren- deved after the battle. They are also com- ing into the British camp in large numbers on General Crealock’s line of advance.

LATER—-ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE.

The steamer Milbrain has arrived at St. Vincent from Cape Colony, bringing im- portant despatches from Sir Garnet Wolse- ley and Lord Chelmsford. Official des- patches, however, which have been received at the War Ofiice, state that the engage- ment was a long and desperate battle raging for many hours,the Zulus fighting with more than their ordinary bravery and skill. King Cetewayo commanded his forces in person, but the result was defeat of the Zulus with heavy loss. In the opinien of Lord Chelmsiord, which is endorsed by Sir Garnet Wolsely, the war is now virtually terminated. The loss upon the English side is not inconsiderable, but neither the list of the killed and wounded nor the number has yet reached London.

STILL LATER.

Later despatches received by telegraph from St. Vincent give full details of the splendid and complete victory won by Lord Chelmsford’s forces on the 4th July. Lord Chelmsford captured and burned the camp and kraals of Cetew.yo. He had sent a demand to the King.i-r his submission and as an evidence of th..t the surrender of certain arms and troplics taken at Isandu- la. The date fixed for this surrender having expired, and the trophies not hay- ing arrived, Lord Chelmsford advanced in force. country the advancing party was attacked by 20,000 Zulu warriors, who assailed them in front and on both flanks. Lord Chelms- ford formed his troops inte a square, The Zulus charged — and again on all sides, swarming around eyen to the rear and at-|

tacking with obstinate bravery and deter- mination. For some time the situation of the British troops was extremely perilous, but the superiority of their fire-arms and the absence on the part of the Zulus of more than an inconsiderable number of guns finally resulted in a victory for the English. The Zulns finding that their numbers were rapidly diminishing under the superior fire of the English, feil back, and still retaining as a nucleus for defence, a censiderable portion of his foree ordered a_ pur- The Zulus were demoralized upon

closely pursued by Lord Chelmsford’s cavalry. Although this engagement was so hot the British only lost 10 men killed and 53 wounded. The loss of Zulus was 900 killed and avery great number wounded. Lord Chelmsford subsequently advanced to Ulundi, where he burned the kraal and re- turned to hiscamp. At the time of send- ing this despatch from’ the camp many Zulus were coming in,in small detachments, and surrending without conditions. No message has been received from the King, but Lord Chelmsford repeats his assertion that the war is now practically ended.

ADDITIONAL AND LATER.

A despatch received at the war oflice from Sir Garnet Wolseley expresses the belief that the Zulu war has ended. He has instructed the Government to stop sending supplies and reinforcements to the Cape. He also states in his telegram, that he is to meet Cetewayo on July the 16th to conclude a peace.

Lord Chelmsford’s despatch concludes as follows : ‘‘As I have fully accomplished the object for which | advanced, I consider that 1 shall be best carrying out Sir Garnet Wol- seley’s instructions by moving immediately toward Kambawasa. I shall send back a portion of this force for supplies now ready at Fort Marshal. Kambawasa appears to be about 30 miles south of Ulundi.”

General Wolseley telegraphs from Dur- ban, July 8, as follows : ‘I halted all rein- forcements here as I belive the war over. Do not send any more men or supplies till you hear from me. lexpect to meet the great Zulu chief about the 16th inst., and discuss terms of peace with him.”

Sir Garnet Wolseley asks the War Ofiice to instruct him as to the order in which the regiments now serving in Africa shall be sent home. ,

The report of the Adjutant-General states that Capt. Ldgell, of the Royal- Lancers, was killed, and a Colonel, a Major and two Lientenants ef the Royal Lancers were wounded, besides various other officers.

The news of the victory and _ the positive assurances of Lord Chelmsford and Sir Garnet Wolseley that the war is now ended, cause intense satisfaction here and through- out the United Kingdom. The commercial alvantages to be derived from the extension of British rule into the interior of Africa are dWelt on and in most circles the war is believed te be worth all that it has cost.

Lieut. Carey, who brings with him the sentence of the court martial which sat upon his case, has embarked for England.

TERRIBLE RIOTS AT PORT AU PRINCE.

Advices from Hayti to 12th inst. report deplorable riots at Port au Prince. The disorders, which are caused by bitter party conflict between the Liberals and Nationals, began June 50, during a sitting of the Chambers. A party of Liberals tired upon General Canal, a brother of the President, and member of the Chamber of Deputies. The General was not hurt, but the sitting was immediately suspended. Fierce fight- ing then commenced in the streets. The Nationals beld the palace, and the Liberals erected barricades and fired many houses, killing the, Minister of War, who was iry- ing to disp€rse the mob. President Canal, July 1, requested the British Consul to as- semble his foreign colleagues to confer with the rebels, but the United States Minister and French Charge d@ Affaires alone complied with the request, the others pleading the risk to life from bullets which were ringing around. Therefore the repre- sentatives of England, France and the Uni- ted States alone entered into a conference with the rebels. President Canal offered the rebels full pardon and leave to embark unmolested to any~port they desired, but the rebels stoutly refused the conditions, and fighting continued. On Jyly 2nd, the President again had resort to the diplo- matic body, but this time the United States Ministers refused to interfere and Presi- dent Canal thereupon sent to the rebefs a a letter, which they tore to pieces. The The fighting was kept. up all day, but on July 3rd the patience of the President be- came exhausted and he determined to act. Cannon were placéd a quarter of a mile from the front of the house occupied by the rebels and the first shell set fire to one of the houses and immediately all were ina blaze. The rebels scattered in every direc- tion. The fire spread fearfully, sweeping away four blocks of buildings. The finance departments with all its documents was destroyed On July 4th the Liberals had disappeared, and their principal leaders had taken refuge in the foreign Consulate. Abont 130 houses were in ashes and 300 men killed or wounded. Fortunately the commercial part of the town escaped dam- e. During riots in the capital Gonaires, Saint Mare and Arcahai rose in insurrec- tion, and at last accounts were in posses- sion of the rebels. President Canal has despatched troops to those towns and ex- pects to subdue the insurrection there

shortly.
