( 7172 ft. above the level of the sea, ) Jan. 10, says :—Ever if Boer in the Transvaal is laughing in his sleeve over the wag they have misled and jooled Mr. Gladstone's government through the Bechuana question. The Boers do not care for this section which lies in the middle of Africa ; what they do care for is the Amatonga and Zulu country, giving them a sea frontage of several hundred miles. While the Eaglish troops are guarding Bechuanaland all the energies of the Boers are engaged in seizing and measuring farms on the Indian Ocean, recovering St. Lucia Bay, and as soon as enough farms are seized and occupied by them the whole of the Boer seaboard, which will theu include everything from Natal to the Portuguese line, south of Loreuzo-Marques (Delagoa Bay,) will become a dependency of the South African Republic under the protection of Germany. This will effectually drive out of this portion of Africa all English manufactured goods, and gives to the German manufacturers a monopoly—provided they control the Lorenzo-Marques Railway. The Boers expeptas soon as this is accomplished to absorb or conquer Nataly in Jact they claim that this teas agreed to on the part of Lord Derby when the Boer deputation tvas in England.
