A telegram from Sir Garnet Wolseley announces- that the Ashantee
war is nearly over. With a gallantry of the :old Indian kind, the Commander-in-Chief, finding his marchinipeded by the running away of his native carriers—who ran away, we believe; be- cause, being still legally slaves, their masters took their wages, and they found constant prodding unpleasant—pushed on with 1,100 men of the Rifle Brigade, seamen,and *tines, till he arrived within a day's march of Coothasitie. Here-he received a messenger from the King, who was sentrback,"after which the King released all white men, made "a full submission," accepted, all the British terms, and promised an " indemnity " Of £200,000. The " terms " are not yet knewn; but if they.include the occupation of Coomaiisie till the indemnity is Paid; a...Strict definition of our boundary, and the right of an envoy 'to ietnain at Coomassie, they will satisfy the British voters, who in their utter ignorance cannot-be made to see that a cowardly people may be the best revenue-paying people in the world. All the troops in Europe could not make Bengalee,s fight, yet they sustain the Indian Empire.
