The Comments of the British Press on Stanley, the Herald's Explorer, Finding the Long Lost Traveller. ry (From the London Telegraph, July 4.] Yesterday we were all children again, listening | to the outlines of a tale of travel daring as Vasco di | Gama’s, solitary as Crusoe’s, romantic as Masco Polo’s, The story of Livingstone’s marches through the heart of Africa’s dark mystery was at last re- luted in our columns, and by this time everybody knows broadly where he has been, what he has Gone, and how the enterprising American found him out at last, “stout, strong and undismayed,” among the black faces of Ujijl. Such a narrative has seldom been heard even in the old times when the globe was young and unexplored; and before many generations have passed the planet will be so thoroughly traversed in all directions hat the sense of novelty and strange revelations which makes this account so thrilling will have be- come @ bygone possibility. Thus the public en- joyed yesterday @ pleasure which our posterity can scarcely know—such @ pleasure as Athens must have felt on hearing the “Euterpe” of Herodotus read; or Carthage, when Manno came back in his walleys from outside the ‘Pillars of Hercules;’’ or the lieges of Ferdinand and Isabella, when the Spanish carvels sailed nome with intelligence of the golden New World. The effect of reading so profoundly instructing a summary after the bare state ment that our great traveller was safe and well, resembled that process in pho- tography when the picture comes out upon the plate under the developing solution. We knew he was recovered to civilization with all the frutts of these long, anxious, hidden six years, during much of which the grave was not more silent to us than Livingstone, After many speculations, ru- mors, efforts.and disappointments, we had heard authentic tidings; they grew clear and clearer— they were confirmed. He is safe, we said, and we shall have his story. What willit be? A little while longer, and out of the brief message grows up this complete picture, which will assuredly be placed in the gallery of history for ever. ‘The mind delights to realize in imagination that glad moment when, after all sorts of pertis, adven- tures and misadventures, the gallant and inde- futigable Stanley won his way with a band which made up in nolse for what they lacked in numbers to the outskirts of Ujiji town. We must all envy that American flag which was carrled proudly at the head of the procession; and yet it happens seasonably aur now in the hour of our agreement at Geneva that the ‘Stars and Stripes” should thus bring BP to the aad Englishman But will he_ be at Ujiji? Yes, there he 1s—‘a pale-looking, gray- bearded white man, in a red woollen jacket, and pene his head a naval cap with @ faded gold band. 8 onlay at a glance, knows it is Livingstone, and vingstone knows that Civilization has | found him out, and brought ald, strength and security for al! his harvest of toil and danger; but they are under the eyes of the grave Arabs, who judge men severely by “deportment.”’ So land and America keep up their character demu: [! fore Paganism, and not one excited word is spoxen, thongh the Old and New World thus mect in a apot agit were, outside the world. “Dr. Livingstone, | resume ? says Stanley, very quictiy; and the octor smiles, and bows a calm assent; nor until hours after did the two men get together on the goatskins In the hut, where they could freely un- | pack their hearts, brimful of congratulations, ly fellowships and eager questions and answe } the news of all the world jor six years past to tell | on one side, and on the other the last secret of Africa to impart. Mr. Stanley mast some day tel! us © every word of that memorable cony meanwhile, the gallant American communicates enough to furnish 2 uttetently comocted sketch | of Livingstone’s proceedings during the long period ofthis absence in the Livyan wilds, It was in r sentence, ion; but, March, 2866, that the Doctor leit Zanzibar, and, following te left bank of Rovuma River, auado his way towards La » All this } region 18 well enough known by thé expedition of search Which M vas traced step f Young Jed; for the traveller step through Chibisa’s coun- a a eee ne our New York contemporary. While governments were hesitating and «itimately refusing to grant the necessary supplies for en expedition in search of Dr, Livingstone, the proprietor of the New York HwRALD took the matter in his own hands, ected a gentleman eminently fitted for tne enterprise he was called upon to undertake, gave him carte blanche in all that regarded expenditure, and sent him into the unknown regions of Central Afiica to find Dr, Livingstone, 1! possible alive, but if not, to procure authentic information respecting his fate, and to secure, if the man existed, the results of his labora. Mr. Stanley, the commissioner in ranean: has been completely successful. He found Living- stone not only alive and well, but so busily engaged in his explorations that he has voluntarily deterred his return for another year and @ half. Nor is this all, Not only is the Papers traveller safe—his labors have been crowned with complete success, He has discovered the streamlet irom which the mighty Nile takes its origin, and he remains behind to satisfy himself py personal examination of a hitherto unexplored break of 180 miles in length between the lowest point to which he foliowed the stream in question and the uppermost point to which the Nile has been traced, Starting from Zanzibar at the head of a large caravan, organized by himself, Mr. Stanley reached Unyanyembe on the 23d of January, 1571. At tila point his troubles and difficulties began. The King of @ nelghboring territory through whieh he iu- tended to pass positively refused permission, and Mr. Stanley in an evil hour consented to join his forces with those of some discontented Arab chieftains and make war on the potentate in question, ‘The first day’s operations were success- tw, one of the villages of King Mirambo having been carried by the assailants and the inhabitants ut to the sword; but a day or two afterwards, irambo having drawn the invaders into an am: buscade, signaily defeated them and killed five of Mr, Stanley’s armed escort. The commissioner, luckily for himself, had been compelled by an attack of fever to return the day before to Unyanyembe, and there he received the account ot the disaster, and had the additional mortification of seeing his little band dissolve, leaving him with only an Eng- lishman named Shaw, an Arab boy and six of his armed escort, King Mirambo, lucklly, was con- tented with the thrashing he gave his enemics, and did not, as was apprehended, follow up his success by attacking Unyanyembe, for, had he done so, we fear the fugitives Mr, Stanley was enabled to collect and marshal under the American flag would have made an inetfectual stand against the forces of Mirambo, flushed with victory, and we might have been deprived of the pleasure of following Mr, Stanley further in his teavels. ‘The result of this brief compels was to convert the HERALD commissioner to a policy of “non-intervention” in African disputes; and, leav- ing the Arabs to continue the war on their own account if they so pleased, he formed the plan of taking @ different route, avoiding the territory of the warlike Mirambo. ‘To this, however, his foriner allies, the Arabs, raised numerous objections, and succeeded in frightenlug a great number of his followers, including Shew, into de- sertion, Not discouraged, however, by these losses, Mr. Stanley collected as many as were still willing to accompany him, and started boldly acrogs a desert and through @ country completely unknown to him or any of his followers, Of this jouraey, which occupied several months, we have no particulars in the present summary, He seems, however, to have met with more than the usual obstructions which befail travellers at the hanas of petty potentates and the chiefs of savage tribes; put at length, on the 8d of November, he came within sight of the town of Ujijl. Itseems to be | the correct thing to enteran African town with | a3 imuch noise and ¢elaé a8 possible, so Mr. Stanley arranged lus band in tie most imposing manner, and the American flag being unfurled, and the armed eacort being directed to discharge their firearms as rapidly as they could, the little band entered the town, where Mr. Stanley saw among the bystanders “a pale-looking gray- bearded white man, whose fatr skin contrasted with the sunburnt visages of those by whoa he was surround ’ That man he rightly conjectured to be Dr. Livingstone, 2 The summary of Dr, Livingstone’s adventures and labors during the past six sears is necessaill not 60 ample as we could have desired, When thi story of his assassination, told some years since by the Johanna jaen wid accompanied him on his pedition, was tested, the unapimous conclusion rived at was that these men were simply desirous of conceal the fact that they had deliberately de- sorted their employer, This surmise Is now proved in every particular to have been corr Ver; shortly after his departure from Zanzib: 3 he was compelled afterwards to Yely exelualy the assistance of natives. At the end of this year he crossed what is described as “a thin stream led the Chatibezi, Mowing Ina northerly dix nd the course of this river he steadfastiy fol- from the beginning of 18e7 till Ma 18 d (he results of his! ariver Was not, @5 some jentioal with the we of the fat King of the Lake, | dd, as all remember, to have gone on, | u, irom the apot where the lying | Johanna m gave out that he had been mur- | dered.

He followed this stream up and down with such pertinacity that the natives, we are told, thought he had gone mad, and said, “He has water in his head.’ But, nothing moved by their observations, he stuck to the Chambez! and satisfied himeeli that it had no co: tion with the reat river of the similar nat He traced it hrough three degrees of latitude, and then made | is Way to Ujiil, Whence he sent the last measages | which were received. Again he started and ex- Nored the head of Lake Tanganyika, where he found the River Rusizi owing Into, not out of, the | basin; and then, again returning to Ujifi, he seems to have crossed the Lake Tanganyika and to have travelled westward. Marching hence he entered a erfectly unknown land, that of ‘“Manyen P and nearly perished of ulcers and a tever; bat, recover- | ing, lic pushed on northwards and reached a broad | lacustrine river called Lualaba, which he eubse- | juently identified as the Chambezl by tracing them ‘oacommon point. Afterwards he foliowed this | channel to within 169 miles of the Nile, as already | explored, At this intensely Interesting crisis his { men deserted, and, having neither stores nor fol- Jowers, he was constrained to make his way once more back to Ujiji, where he arrived only eightecn days before the brave Amertcan reached that spot. | ‘Knowing all this, we can wonder no longer that JAvingstone declines to come home to us. He bas gent down his papers and collections; but on the Mth of March of the present year Mr. Stanley partea from the Doctor, leaving him indomitabiy pent on solving the question Of those sume tan- talizing “ons hundred and elghty miles,” and also of “four fountains,” said to supp! volume of water to the Lualaba, or Chambez!.

Airica is falling in a new sense her destiny as the nursery of lions, Mr Stanley, the correspond- ent of the New York HeRaxp, has won for himself fairly the title to be the freshest and most atirac- tive lion of the society of Manhattan. The extra- ordinary narrative of his explorations in search of Dr. Livingstone, which he has just communicated to his journal and to the world, 1s one of the most. exciting storles civilization has had since it chose Dr, Livingston was abandoned by his followers, and | to disbelleve the startling stories told by Bruce. | We are willing to make every allowance for the strength of the effects naturally thrown in where a narrator ia his own hero, and has reason to congratulate himself on the success of a daring and apparently hopeless enterprise, Mr, Stanley fs @ newspaper correspondent, detatling his own adventures for the benefit of the enterprising Journal which sent him out. We may assume that he will put everything in the most piciuresque ight, and that he will not undervaine the successes or the difficulties of ils own expedition, Still, tue fact certainly remains that he found Dr. Living- stone; and not, as we think Sir H.

Little more than a year ago Mr. Stanley started from Zanzibar on his mission. Ie made his way, at the head of a lurge caravan organized by himself, to Unyanyembe, Thence he proposed to continue his journéy to Ujiji, the village which has latels been madé famous as the supposed resting place of Dr. Livingstone. To get there, however, was not A King interposed his divine tight.

Some very spirited scenes of ta petite guerre succeeded, In the first day or two the gallant correspondent and his Arab aliies were victorious; but the American chief caught a fever and had to quit the scene of fight, and fortune for & whiic passed over to the banner of the ehurlish King.

Thus the cortége entered Ujijt, hero the Shes ig 3 himself comtog last.

He saw in the crowd @ pile-looking, gray-bearded white man, in whom he recognized the object of his searct, Dr. Livingstone, Mr. Stanley's taste for dramatic description and action did not, even in that exciting moment, desert him, He at once reflected that any expression of emotion would lower him in the eyes of the Ujijians, and he, therefore, only accosted Dr. Livingstone with a distant and stately courtesy. We certainly could excuse the American corre- spondent if ‘his feelings of delight and pride had been too much for him at such a time. Le had done a great thing; he had made a com- plete success, He had waited untli Dr, Livingstone and he were alone before he gave vent to his emotions, Naturaily, there was much to be sald between these two men. Mr. Stanley had to tell Dr. Livingstone the news of all the bta: ting events over Which Kurope aud Amorica have specu- lated and wondered for years back, Dr. Living- stone is described ag full of energy, courage and hope—with saith in his own work wholly undimmed, and with new and unexpected discoveries to sup- plement his past and cheer his future labors, le explained to Mr. Stanley the circumstances under which the famous Johanna men—creatures apparently well qualificd to rival the fame or the ancient Cretans—came to send abroad the mendacions stories of his death. He explained the nature of the discoveries he has more lately mude and of the tasks which he seta to nimseli as | Btill to be accomplished, und which we ave told are to oceupy nearly two years more. Mr, Staniey spent scveral weeks in company with Dr. Living- stone. They travelled together to Unyanyemb., whence in March last the correspondent started for the coast, leaving the illustrious explorer to Gon- ae Which are the appointed work of nis life, Such is the substance of the extraordinary nar- rative which has reached us. We donot stop to consider the value and importance of the geo- graphical discoveries which are pointed to by Mr. dtanley as the fruit of Dr. Livingstone’s later re- searches, The personal narrative will have just now the deeper interest for tue public, The one fact, that at Ujijyi Mr, Stanley found Dr. Livingstone ailve, well and full of hope; that he conversed with him, and dwelt with him for months, and was al- lowed to share his projects—this fact alone will overshadow all other facts, conjectures and specu- lations for the moment. We have taken the narrative just as we find it, ‘The central facts can hardly be open to any doubt or qualification of a serious Kind, Mr, Staniey has coniexred a great service on the world by render- ing that at lust a certainty which for many years had never ceased to be, to sume extent, w matter ofdonbt—the safety of Dr. Livingstone, We are not disposed to quarret with any litile tendency to personal seil-glotification over an exploit which Was so successful. Few things in the romance of travel and adventure seeia to us more striking than that first meeting with the long-lost explorer Among the wild crowd In the African village, Per- haps it only wants a poet to render Mr, Stanley's first sight of Dr. Livingstone as impressive as Cortes’ Darien, [From the London Globe, July 3.) “Dr, Livingstone, I presume #” said Mr. Stanley, slowly advancing, with a courteous bow. ‘“Yes,’’ was the laconic reply. And go, alter years of un- certainty, the great traveller has been found, At Ujii, a pleasant little spot somewhere in the in- terior of Africa, he has been interviewed by the “Special Commissioner” of the New Yor« Heray, ‘the great qualities of the Anglo-Saxon race enabled both men to maintain their reserve—they did not fall weeping into one another's aims as two Frenchmen would have done, We have even reason to be thankful that they did not altogether miss one another as peo- ple often do in a balroom, for want of a forma! introduction, ‘A dignified Arab chief" was standing by, but he appears to have been pain- fully wanting in good manners, and the two per- fect strangers were thus forced to make themselves known to each other in tidus quite. unceremonious way. With the assured safety of Dr, Livingstone dhe occupation of the Royal Geographical pecan may be said to terminate.

A summary of despatches received from Mr, Stan- ley, the intrepld American who searched for and found Dr. Livingstone, appears in our columns to- . A certain amount of mystery which the fuller | publication will doubtless clear up hangs over the question why this information was not received | before. Mr, Stantey left Zanzibar towards the end of June, 1871, and, after many delays and renulses, mate his entry on the 8d of November into Ujiji, where the lost Engllsh traveller had already arrived, It might be supposed that the homeward route would be more expeditious than the outward one, and yetit isnot untilan intervalof double the Jength—namely, nine months—has elapsed that an- thentle Intelligence of the joyful meeting of the white men reaches the seacoast, All is well, how- ever, that ends well, The adventures of the illus- trious explorer during the time he was hidden from view seem to have followed pretty closely the course attributed to them by speculation. The chief contribution made to selence by his latest labors appears to be the discovery that the River Rnsijl, Known previousiy to exist to the ex- treme north of Lake Tanganyika, lows Into the lake instead of out of it, fom which it Ia inferred that Tanganyika cannot be the source of the Nile. In place of this theory Dr. Livingstone advances the proposition that a stream calied the Chambezt, which had been accounted by the Portuguese (he head water of the Zambesi, but which he found to | be flowing in an opposite or northerly direction, affords the true solution of the geograpirical problem of ages. Unfortunately, afier follow- i the course of tnis river for hundreds of miles, and when within 180 miles of that part of the Nile which has been already traced, our countryman was obliged by the ortion of his foliowers to turn back from the and retire to Uji. With indefatigable perse- 8 remains in Africa to resume and com- ploration of the district which he was to leave unvisited, and gives himself sixteen or eighteen months for the task, it is some- what remarkable that no mention is made of the subterranean road, with villages, the examimation of which was stated in the earliest form of the la- formation received from Mr. Stantey to be the pr: cipal objec’ of Dr. Livingsto tay in the country. (From the Liverpool Post, July 4) The despatches of Mr. Stanley, the intrepid cor- respondent sent out at the sole expense of the pro- prietors of the New York Hrea.p to fad Dr, Ltv- ingstone have been communicated in advance to the English papers.

Dr. Livingstone appeared in Ujiji on the loth of October, 1971, and the Anicrican eutered on the sd of November, The account given of the meeting is almost dramatic, “Ag the pro- cession entered the town Mr. Stanley observed a group of Arabs on the right, in the centre of whout was a pale-looking, gray-bearded white man, whose | falr skin contrasted with the sunburat visages of those by Whom he was surrounded.

We mnst concede to the spirit and enterprise of the late proprietor of the New York HeRaxp the honor of tracking out the course pursued during | five long years by Dr. Livingstone, and of commu- nicaténg the first {ull and trustworthy report of his discoveries to the world. It is not pleasant to know that while the British government, appealed to over and over again to send out an expedition in search of Livingstone, faltered, hesitated and ultuumately refused, one of the representatives of the New York Press bravely penetrated into the vast depression of Central Africa, and found the famous traveller clate with his recent discoveries, From henceforth the names of Bennett and of Stanley will be combined in the history of this last and greatest of Livingstone’s Giscoveries.

The numerous and sometimes apparently well authenticated reports of Livingstone's death which from time to time excited such sorrow in these countries were all spread by his cowardly attend- ants, who fled from him and excused thelr treach- ery by falschood, The difficulties expenenced by Livingstone in this last exploration seem to have been greater than Bay which delayed his epter- prise before, At one time he was compelled to lie up for six months through ulcers on his feet. When Stanley left him, however, full of hope and spirtt, Livingstone was about to start to complete the | greatest of all his discoveries, Hitherto the statement iterated by the Portu- ese, to the effect that the Zambezt and the Shambezi were the “same water,” was generaliy assented to. Tracking the course of the Chambezt southwards, westwards and eastwards, as it wan- dered for many hundred weary miles, Living- stone has proved beyond all question that the Chambezti is altogether unconnected with the Zam- bezl. Further, he identifies the Chambezi with the Lualaba, and proves that the “mysterious and ancient Nie’ is but the continuation of the united streams. The great secret of Africa, which, from the days of Herodotus down to our own time, has puzzied mankind, is at length solved, Only 186 miles of country remain to be traversed—that part, namely, which extends from the meeting of the Chambezi with the Lualaba to the nearest point of the Nile. Home, country, friends, rest, are as | nothing to Livingstone in comparison with the thorough corpletion of the great object of his life, THE AMERICAN PRESS. ee {From the Conneil Bluits (lowa) Republican, July 12.) Some of the papers have seen fit to doubt the | authenticity and veracity of the reports touching the safety of Dr. Livingstone, But now trust- worthy despatches have been received from Mr. Stanloy, the leader of the New York HERALD ex- pedition, which act at rest any doubts upon the subject. Dr, Livingstone is alive, though not in good health, and his son will accompany stanley to Nagland, bearing messages and letters from him. He remains in Africa to discover, if possible, the sources of the Nile, a Quixotic scheme, not likely at the best to prove of any value to the world, And yet we must admire the persistent heroism of this man, who defies, even in the prosecution of a worthless idea, all sorts of peril, and seems in his ("rom the New York Commercial, July 16.] ‘Tite press of the country {8 properly compliment- ing the enterprise of the HERALD in sending an ex- Livi tone.
