General Buller reports that Natal is practically cleared of the Boers. This points to a probability that while @ portion of Joubert’s burghers fell pack on Laing’s Nek and Mejuba, the maia body crossed the Drakensburg Mountains to aid io resisting Lord Roberts. Many military | men find it hard to believe that the Boers have abandoned their strong pos.t'on at | y Biggarsberg. Facing Lord Roberts, there is a con- etanily increasing force of Boers eccapy- ing, according to various accounts, a front estimated at from tea to eighteen wiles in length. Tbe Boers whom General Freaoch she!ll- ed and temporarily discomfited, have crossed the Modder River and hold a posi- tion on its northern bank, Lord Roberts’ force, which also occupi- ed both banks of the river with the cavalry brigade on each wing, is waiting for ammunition and supplies before ad. vanciog. > Fighting on a large scale is expected shortly, Meantime the Commander-in Chief maintains a rigid silence regarding his movements. REBEL DUTC Oraxce River, March 7.—The recent British victories have had a wonderful quieting effect on the rebel Dutch, many of whom in the neighborhood of Douglas are reported as disheartened and about re. turning to their homes. BOER TREATMENT OF WOUNDED. Loxpoy, March 7.—The Daily News correspondent, who was captured by the Boers February 9th,was released at Bloem- fontein and put through the lines near Sterkstrom.

The cause of the course taken by La Patrie is the stand by the Globe on the reeent student riots in which La Patrie was condemned as a contributory cause. La Patrie says: In all difficult situa- tions, it is no w recogrized that the Globe invariably abandons us. It left us on the Riel question and in the question of the Jesuits estates. The Globe was one of Mercier’s most violent enemies. The Globe is published in Toronto, the hotbed of Toryisim, and is afraid of public opinion in that city; for instead of moulding public opinion it follows it. The Glebe is nat the official organ of the Liberal party. Itisa newspaper of iodependent tendencies combatting generally for the Libera] party; but its opinion engages no one and does not possess any great value. -~ ow {Elder Flower, '| undersignod upto Monday March 12:h, : -_ ——_ DISMISSAL OF MR. BRACE. Sir,~Ashort time ago it was rumored through the country that the Government intended to amalgamate the office of In- spector of Gas with that of Weights and Measures, thus saving the salary of Gas Inspector. Upon enquiry, we find the move bas been effected. Of course it can be nothing el-e but pleasing, to the people in general, to leara thatthe government is beginuing to economize, though it ie the eleventh hour, But the question ne tarally arises, “ls it tor the purpose of economy, or simply anutber way of getting rid of Mr. R K Brace,rotbat a little later they can reopen this office for one of their newly-found friends?” We assume the latrer is the Object. Mr. Brace hae heen.) a capable ofncer. There is no charge against him. But he must go. Thereis acertain element which seems to have the Government under control. Those who belong to it murt be satisfied first ; and nothing gives them more éatisfaction than turaing Mr. Brace, and men or his pricc'p'es, out of cflice,—and out of doors, ifthey could.
