CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—Extract of a letter from 1 Cape Town, dated August 28, 1819:- 1 Q The min? of the Colonists will be greatly relieved from the anxiety they have latterly felt for our comrades the frontiers, by being acquainted, that the prepara tions, which had taken much time to make, having at length been completed, Lieutenant-Colonel Wil shire marched from Graham's Town on the 28th last - month against the hostile tribes of 'TSambie, Lynx, and Congo. The Lieutenant - Colonel divided Vs force into three columns, in order to enter the Caffre territory in the most convenient manner; Mr yor Fraser, with . the right column, was directed cross the Fish River at Trompetter's Drift, for purpose of preventing the occupation, by the enemy of the fastnesses in that direction; whilethe Landrost of Graaff-Leinet, turning the Winterberg, entered the Caffre country by the sources of the- Chumie Mr. Stockenstrom having a great distance to march, broke up from his encampment on the Baviaan' River on the 22d July ; Major Fraser was to h. crossed the botvidary on the 30th, the violent rains, however, prevented his passing the river until. the of the present month, when he effected this diffic movement, and reached the Gwanga River on 4th. The weather has been particularly severe ; wet, and has defeated the calculations of both right And left columns of effecting their ; , anct w i th Lieutenant-Colonel Willshire on the 2d'Augu, at Pboonah's Kraal, on the Gaigai River, whi place the Lieutenant-Colonel arrived at at the pointed time. The Graaff-Reinet Burghers react, Gaika's abandoned residence on the 30th of July, and My. Stockenstrom having there gained intelli gence, that 'TSambie had re-crossed the Kies kamma with his force, abandoning the banks the Fish River, which he had so long occupied, n the impression, that the Colonists would not commence operations against them during the rainy sear he moved with treat rapidity along the ridge of high lands which command 'TSambie's residence when, perceiving that these Kraals were abandonei and believing that the intelligence he had recei: might prove erroneous, he was preparing to proceed to the appointed rendezvous, when his advanced guard reported the Caffres to be discovered in 6 . numbers ; unfortunately, at this moment, the weather (which had been long lowering) broke, and an dating rain preventing his further operations on day, hi was reluctantly forced to encamp on skirts of a wood, in a situation which, he hr would admit of his remaining, unperceived b enemy ; in this, however, he was disappointed, the Caffres surrounded him in the night with numbers ; the sentinels gave the alarm, but the kets were all wet, and he had only the bayonet trust to ; but this, wielSed by meu upon whose ' very he could entirely depend, placed him yond apprehension. The position, however, Mr. Stockenstrom had chosen, must have appeared to "TSambie too strong for attack, fur in lieu the it appears, he suddenly crossed the Kieskamm driving all his cattle before him, and made old haunts on the Fish River, sending notice of invasion to Lynx, and Congo, with instructic them to join him. The weather did not permit Stockenstrom to .follow until the 3d, when he sued him by the traces, and came up with hii. the edge of the Great Bush Country, above Tromi ter's Drift, on the 4th. Here 'TSambie seemer dined to stand, but whenMr.Stoc kenstrom's mai came up, he again penetrated into the thickest.. almost impenetrable forests. In a deep cleft, hove , a great number of them were discovered, and - our undaunted Burghers descended almost apt after them ; unfortunately a musket going off cident, gave them notice of the approach Graaff-Ileinetters, when they 'gave A dieadft and with threats of destroying the whole charged them; a determined fire from our checked them, and they flew into the deepen cesses of the woods, 'leaving sixty men deg sides having had many wounded, who crept fasrnesses. This pursuit established. the certain Caffres being in the Fish River Forests, and intelligence the Landrost of Graaff Reinet the Commandant on the sth. Lieutenant. Willshire immediately took the necessary attackingsthem, but as the Graaff• Reinet quired rest, after 18 days severe exposul most inclement weather, no offensive operations moment had taken place on the Bth, the date - last dispatches ; Major Fraser had, however, the Lieutenant-Colonel on .the 7th, after has, a detachment of his Burghers into the woods, fell in with a party of Caffres with cattle, six , they killed, and took the convoy from them. . accounts may be expected to be of the greatest . _ ante. We learn also, that 'TSambie has been.again deavouring to. persuade Hiaza to join him, but Chief is too well aware that his open count calculated for his protection, and has peremptorily refused tbe aid solicited. - . .

Mr. TROMP. . . sore was called to the Chair ; and Mr. Mits.'', itt . • hi Leeds, addressed the multitude, in a speech of eon- - hi siderable length, in which he went over most of the ,;; old topics, and particularly urged his hearers to *- - - . n. stain from the use of tea, coffee, beer, spirits, and in . ! exciseable articles. He concluded by movin i f ic a m ets o . .*- u- lies of Resolutions ( 15 in number) ; among it en was Resolved, that the Meeting at Mancherless en I H o. the 16th of August, was letilly assembled ; and ? ' nt that the People, while so assembled,-were cruelly as& 1 ' . as wickedly attacked by tote Yeomanry, under the di- of rection of the local Magistrates ; that so me were 51, killed, others maimed, and a still greater number .. up miserably wounded and trampled-upon , without d j s- 1- .. ' j tinction of either age or sex ; that this atrocious *u- i . m. rage is an attempt to destroy, by the sword, all the I remaining liberties of Englishmen ; that a Remon- "' strance to the Regent be prepared, and left at the 1 !or, Knaresborough Union Rooms, for signatures ; and that the Members - for Knaresborough be re q uested i mit to present the same to his Royal Highness.

Yesterday Prince Leorinn visited the Duke and Duchess of . KENT, at Kensington Palace. In the even ing his Royal Highness dined with the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE at their residence, St.Jamrs's. We understand that a Requisition was last night signed by a number of respectable housekeepers, and was this morning presented to the HIGH BAILIFF of Westminster, to convene a Public Meeting of the in habitants, to express their sentiments on the Bills now in progress through the two Houses of Parliament. The beautiful mansion, of E.J. Lit.lotrf, Esq. near Bodmin, i Cornwall, with the valuable furniture, choice library, wines, &c. were destroyed by fire, early in the morning of Friday last. Mr. GLYNN and his amiable daughter, with difficulty escaped the flames, without having time to put on their clothes. At the moment of the fire breaking out, the whole of the family were in their beds, and asleep. Sunday night, about eleven o'clock, the large gasometer belonging to the public gas-works, at Manchester, was burst by a sudden explosion of the gas, the cause of which is not yet ascertained. By the explosion, one of the workmen left on the pre mises, was much hurt. All the gas-lamps in the town were, of course, extinguished almost momentarily. THE WEATHER.--% ithin the list seven or eight days, the vicissitudes of the weather have been re markable. On Wednesday, in the last week, at eight o'clock in the morning, the thermometer had sunk seven degrees below the freezing point ; on Monday, at the same hour, it stood at fifty, and by two o'clock that day, it had risen to fifty-three ; and, on Tues day last, at ten o'clock, it attained the mean tempe rature of the whole year, or fifty-five. EAST Itiotes.—Extract of a Letter from Bombay, dated June '2d:—" The Fort of Copauldroog Ice carried by assault, on the 14 th of M a y , by the force under the command of General Pritzler. We undet -.and that the resistance was considerable, and that use enemy committed considerable havoc, by throwing stones from the work. The loss on this occasion was six killed and 51 wounded, and this has been ac counted for by the very spirited manner in which the Officers and men did their duty. We have • to lament the loss of a very promising young Officer, Ensign Eliott, of the Rifle Corps, who fell, when exerting himself to the utmost, at the second gateway. Cap tain Dunn, Assistant •Quarter. Master-General, and Lieutenant Pringle Taylor, were severely wounded. The former was employed to explain the Brigadier- General's orders to the troops forming the left attack, and the latter, who happened to be accidentally on the spot, was permitted to advance with it. Both Officers as well as Lieutenant Silver, of his Majesty's .53d Regiment, were wounded when shelving an example of the most determined bravery to the troops. It appears that the Nabob of Lucknow has thought proper to declare himself independent from the (treat Mogul of Delhi, no longer acknowledging himself the Nai b or Viceroy of that Court, but hav ing himself assumed the title of royalty. He of course now coins money in his own name. His ru peesproclaim him , 4 Shaw Zemean," King of the rth. We dare say the other Nabobs and Soobahs of India, especially one, will soon follow his example. Their dependence upon the Court of Delhi was long si ice but nominal. The new King is, we_think, the ..hest of the Indian tributaries of the British empire. Considerable consternation prevails amongst the ni live population, at the return of the epidemic amongst us. During the last week numerous cases have oc cut red, an/ we are sorry to add, many natives have fallen victims to it. We trust, however, that the strong land winds which now prevail will again drive this dreadful plague from amongst us. It is, bow- ever, to be observed, that in Bengal the disease was at . as greatest height during t h e hot winds of last year. .
