THE chief object of the British Government in proclaiming a protectorate over the const of Pendoland, St. Lagin and Zululand is no doubt to safeguard these territories during the existing mania for sunexation. A glance at the map will show that by this act the British Government has taken under its protection almost the whole of the South-eastern coast of Afrios not already British or Portuguess territory. Atthoback of this coast lino lies-the Traisal an 1 the - Orange Free State, and consequently England hassscard this east both against the Boers from within and any European nation from without. It would, for instance, have been rather, awkward it Gerinmay had taken pussosion of a portion. “ of this coast, and established relations with the Boara During the present troubles in Zululand, the Rooms have also been steadily pushing their way through that country to the coast.
