London, Tuesday, Nov. 28. There is distinctly a more hopeful! feelimg here regarding the operations in Natal, and there is every reason to believe that it is justified. The reported withdrawal of the Boers northward is confirmei, and the British advance toward Lady Smith has begun in earnest. There can mow hardly be any axlety in southern Natal . The capital has escaped attack and the hemming in of the detached garri sons at Estcourt and elsewhere has 'Deen temporary arad not serious, and now the railway is working to Frere, where there about ten thousand Brit ish under Hildyard, whose rapid ad vance seems to aim at cutting off the Boers who are moving (north from Wee nen. These are supposed to be hasten ing to the Colenso bridge, which is supposed to be intact, as even the Boers would find difficulty in crossing the -flooded Tegula river, which the bridge spains. SUCCESS NOT ASSURED. The success of Hildyard's movement is not assured, however, as the Frere (bridge has been completely wrecked The glamour of General Methuen's dearly bought success south of Kim berly outweighs the present anxiety for further news of his advance, but in military circles this is manifest om ac count of the the lack of news regarding the Ninth Lancers, who pursued the enemy after the fight at Gras Pan.
