New York, July 22.

A Bismarck, Dakota, despatch says : Gen. Miles is in the neighborhood of Bear Moun- tain, where he expected to find a large party of Sioux. The General’s fighting force does not exceed 600 men. Weod- choppers along the river say he will be cleaned out if he strikes the main body of Sitting Bull’s followers.

A letter froma military officer of high rank expresses belief in the danger of an at- tack upon the army by 4,000 of Sitting Bull’s hostile Indians. Sitting Bull him- self is reported to be peaceably inclined, but is urged to hostility by his chiefs. The immediate cause of offense is said to be the recent preparations made by General Miles to patrol the border more th: -oughly.

Wastuncion, July 22.

Ata Cabinet meeting to-day, the yellow fever question was discussed, and acting Postmaster General was instructed to use all means to keep mail connections open in the South.

Secretary McCrary submitted information received from Gen. Miles, in relation to Sitting Bull’s movements, stating that nu- merous bands of Indians are joining that chief, who is becoming somewhat demon- strative. It was decided to instruct Gen. Miles to meve cautiously, so as to prevent any disaster to his command.

Lonpon, July 22.

The weather for the past three days has heen exceedingly boisterous over these Islands. A heavy rain commenced on Sat- urday, foHowed by a short interval of clear weather. On Sunday morning a heavy gale began, and torrents of rain fell through- out the midland counties. The weather to-day has been gloomy and depressing in London, with damp fog. The storms have greatly damaged fruit trees and crops of cut hay, and great quantities of the latter are floating about the fields, which are flooded in a terrible manner. There is little hopes that any of it will be saved.

SPEECH BY SIR BARTLE FRERE IN EXPLANA- TION OF HIS POLICY.

(From the London Times.)

There was a great gathering at the banquet held in honor of the High Commissioner. Mr. Fuller, M. P., in proposing the toast of the day, expressed the sympathy of the community with approval of the steps taken by his Excellency.

Sir Bartle Frere, in acknowledging the public demonstration of approval of his conduct, said, at that moment, when so many dear to us were in the field, with the image of that chivalrous Prince so lately among us and thoughts of what awaited his widowed mother at home before us, he realized the occasion to be one for the dis- charge of stern duty and no empty pageant. Glancing at the principles underlying his policy and action,zhe e»ntinued :—_

‘‘Very shortly after i came to this coun- iry we witnessed on a small scale very much like what has occurred in Natal. When I went to Natal i found great differ- ence of opinion as to the state of affairs in existence. There were prophets of evil and men whe prophesied smooth things, But

NO. 54.

has not been for years past that the position of the Natal colonists was one of extreme peril. I have heard the same opinion expressed by people from Canada and Australia, whe on this very. account ob- jected to Natal as a field for emigration. What I saw there convinced me of\ what I had long before been told—viz., that the condition of our fellow-celonists was based on an extremely hazardous foundation. Everything | saw and everything I heard tended to the same opinion, and 4it proved what 1 believe will bear the test of the closest investigation. It proved that thronghout the whole of South Africa a movement, originating with the Zulu ruler, had stirred to their hearts the whole of the native population, and they only looked and hoped for some revolution which should bring about the supremacy of the black races and the expulsion of the Europeans. The measures which were then taken were taken after the most careful consideration, not only of. the General commanding the forces, but of the Lieutenant-Governor of Natal ; and they were strictly directec to defence. It appeared to us to be quite im- possible to attempt the defence of the Natal border with the forees which were then in the colony, or any which it was possible to command; that the only system of defence which could be effected was ene of active defence; that it was only by car- rying the war at once into the enemy’s country, by posting men within the enemy’s border, by meeting him upon his own ground and threatening his own communi- cations, that we could preverit an irruption into the colony of Natal. (Cheers.) I feel convinced that when our own countrymen at home, even including adverse critics, come to look at these transactions in the light of histery they will do us justice, and say that we did no more than was neces- sary for-the safety of the colony of Natal. It is quite possible that that verdict may notcome in my time. History points to similar circumstances of men who have done their best according to theif lights and to whom. justice was not. done till long after they had passed away. But whenever it may be, the thing that has mainly sustained me in all that has passed has been the conviction that, except in necessary measures for defence, no sel- dier of her Majesty has hitherto been em- ployed. (Cheers.) What,was my commis- sion when I came to these shores? 1 was charged, as High Commissioner, in these terms :—* Fake all measures and do all that can be lawfully and_ discreetly done. for preventing the recurrence of any irruption into her Majesty’s possessions hy hostile tribes, and for maintaining the said posses- sions in peace and safety.” That was my charge, and J need not tell you that IL have no plenary power tou make peace or) war. I have power simply to defend the colony —to'see that no irruption takes place. And I think I may venture to refer to what has since oceurred. Notwithstanding thé wn- paralleled disasters which have befallen our arms on some occasions, up.to the pres. ent moment the frontier of her Majesty’s possession has remained inviolate froin hos- tile fee. I think, when these matters are calmly judged, they will more than fully justify Lord Chelmsford’s actions and more than compensate for all the sufferings our troops have gone through. I de not ven- ture to speak boastiully, but L say that, looking to what has passed, Lord Chelms- ford and his troops may. well feel prend that, borne down as they were by over- whelming numbers, they have still pre- served your fellow-colonists in peace and safety. We have been told that we were precipitate in what we did. We have been told that, had we not done semething or another that we had done, it was quite pos- sible that the King of the Zulus, being a well-meaning prince, and anxious only for the interests of ~ peace, might not have used the power which he possessed. Gentlemen, whatever that power was, we have seen only too dis- tinetly how he would use it. IL judge not from mere surmise nor from my knowledge of what aman trained to despotism and bloodshed is apt to do ; I judge from what he himself had said and. done within the eighteen months previously. I find that he had repeatedly stated that his power was founded on bloed ; that it was necés- sary to the due maintenance of his power that he should be unrestraincd in bis ability to slay his subjects and make war upon other people. I had before me the patent fact that he had asked for leave to wash his young men’s spears, as well as the distinct geographical fact that it was impossible for him to do so without slaying British subjects, or those who were so closely allied to us that they considered themselves under our protection. I would ask, gentlemen, in the name of common sense and common nt, was it to be relied upon that

etewayd would not use the enormous power he possessed? (Cheers.) Were your fellow-colonists to live on knowing how bloodthirsty this man protessed him- self to be, and knowing how powerful he was? Were your fellow-colonists to live on sufferance and in the hope that he would belie his own statements, behave as a humane and well-meaning ruler, and ab- stain from those acts of bloodshed and ag- gression which form the main glory of the Zulu nation? (Cheers.) I could not be- lieve it; I could not persuade myself.

I felt convinced that they were resting on the brink of a voleano. Every part of that.

But I believed in my heart that no risk which could be undertaken by her Majesty’s solders was to be thought of for a moment against the paramount duty of doing our best to protect her Majesty’s subjects.
