CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. By the Waterloo East Indiaman, arrived in the Channel, we have received Cape Town Gazettes to the' 31st of January We are ltd to perceive that the pre datory incursions of the Caffres, so peculiarly injurious to the colonists on the frontier, are likely to he put a stop 'to for the future. The following are extracts CAPE TOWN, JANUARY 31. We are happy to announce, that the last mail from the frontier has brought most satisfactory accounts of our intercourse with the "Caffres. Since the affair a gainst M'Gomo on the Sth of December, no cattle whatever have been taken away by this people; that affair made such an impression, that T'Sambie (the mos t powerful Chief) shortly afterwards solicited an in terview with Major Somerset; at the same time, sending back many head of cattle which had been taken from the colonists. Major Somerset appointed Thursday, the lsth instant, and met him on the heights beyond the Commando Drift, on the other side of the Keiskamma. VSambie was attended by his son and heir, Dusannie; the chiefs. Congo, Pato, Crewina, and Habanna, and 2,500 Cares urawn up in close column. T'Sambie being called upon for his reasons for wishing to see Major Somerset, stated, that he came to beg to be al lowed to establish his Kraals on his former ground, near the Keiskamma, and to implore that he might be left in peace. It was explained, that unless the Chiefs under him restored the cattle stolen from the settlers, and gave up all deserters, Iris request could not be complied with, and that himself and people would be destroyed. TSambie replied that he had already sent him two de serters, and had brought mother with him, but be bad been allowed to escape by Habanna; that he would force that Chief to restore him, and requested Major Somerset te wait two days, to afford him time to do so. —Major Somerset agreed to this On receiving the Chief Congo, Ray T'Sa mbie's principal Heemraad, and twenty Caffres, as hostages. T'Sambie then assured Major Sa merser, that should in future any cattle be stolen by any of the people belonging to the Captains under him, he would immediately attack them, and make them restore the cattle. On the 17th, TSambie sent Major Somerset 100 head of cattle, and informed him that in a day or two he would send more. Being satisfied of T'Sam bie's sincerity, and Habanna not having given up the deserter, Major Somerset crossed the Keiskamma at eleven, P.M. on the 17.th,•with the Cape Cavalry and 50 Bargherr, under Commandant Durand, and at day break came upon Habanna's and Nouno's Kraals. The former had made off with all his cattle; but Captain 31assey fell in with Nouno's people, and brought away 240 head of cattle; many would have been shot, had not Major Somerset given orders that they should be Epared.', SOUTH A MERIC A. Official intelligence from the seat of Govzrnment of Colombia states, that accounts had been received of the reported Congress at Paris rel rtive to South America., It was surmised that an attack would be made on the independence of South America by the Allied Sove. reigns. A levy of 50,000 men was in consequence or dered, and such was the enthusiasm in the cause of li berty, that the numbers are represented to be nearly completed. ST. THOMAS'S, FEBRUARY is. The Colombian corvettes Bolivar, Captain Clark, and Boyaca, Captain Brown, under the orders of Commo dore Beluche, while cruising off the west end of Porto Rico, fortunately succeeded in recapturing two vessels from a Spanish pirate; they proved to be the English brig Branshaw, Captain Alexander Murdock, five days from Trinidad, bound to Gibraltar, with a cargo of cocoa ; and . the French brig Bonne Sophie, Captain Chevance, thirty-nine days from Havre-de-Grace, bound to Martinique, with a cargo consistirig of coal, iron, &c.—The recaptured vessels proceeded to their respective ports of destirkation. We understand that the Bolivar and-Boyaca wet e expressly dispatched from La Guayra, to cruize in the neighbourhood of Porto Rico, ba- the purpose of giving immediate information of the arr ival of any expedition from Spain.-5t.? hornasTintcs. FROM THE BALTIMORE AMERICAN, FEBRUARY 17. We stated in our last the arrival at La Guayra of a Consul from Great Britain. This circumstance is thus, announced in The Colombian of the 14th ult. We have to congratulate Colombia on the arrival of the fist Br itish Agent in our ports. Mr. Tupper, Consul from his Britannic Majesty, arrived in La Gua yara, in his Majesty's brig of war Surinam, on the .sth inst. We understand that Mr.Ttipper remains here in a private capacity, and will not present his credentials to the Government until the British Commissioners now 01 their journ to Bogota, have made the necessary arrangements for this purpose, and he be duly accredited by our Government. In the meantime we contemplate the preset,ce of Mr. Tupper as the harbinger of the most friendly relations between his Government and Colom bia; and although his immediate mission is purely com mercial, it is not to be doubted that it will bring with it most important political results. " The following atrocious and barbarous act; on the part of the Spanish General Morales,,is detailed in the Caraccas - Paper, by an Englishman,' who vouches for ;Is authenticity : • " An English youth, of 15 years of age, (whose name I conceal ca of consideration for his family), having served a short time In cur navy, under the immediate command of CoMmandant Daniels, of Puerto Cavell°, in a fit of resentment at some supposed ill-usage e,rzped f r om his vessel, and concealed himself on shore. Whilst in this situation he engaged with the Captain of a schooner for as passage to Ctgracoa, but found, when too late, that he had been de ceived; and that, instead of proceeding to that island, the Captain sailed to Maracaibo, and delivered him up to General Morales. Atter sustaining the usual hardships which ever attend a Colom bian prisoner in the hands of Morales,he'sought to escape from them by flight, and with this view he concerted with two Creole youth art his own age, to seize a boat, and escape to Curacoa on a certain night. In the act of executing this bold but rash project, the Lads were discovered, seized, and taken before General Morales. The companions of the English lad denied the whole affair and were liberated, but he was not so fortunate. Morales accosted him by calling him a little English brute, with other opprobrious epithets. I am told that the lad displayed astonishing spirit and fortitude on this occasion, which so irritated the monster, that he ordered him to be taken immediately onboard ship and hung up at the yard arm. The savage mandate produced a remark from the poor boy, that it was incredible that Morales could think of putting to death such a lad as him.' To which this Demi deigned no other reply than to repeat his directions for taking the little English brute on board ship and hanging him. The order of the savage was too faithfully iat crated. He was forced to run the gauntlet of the ship's crew, I):,iced with wilunds, and was then hung up to the yard arm, where body wa's seen 48 hoots after the execution, by those who have is en ow this statement." The American Pape's state that the Rev. C. COLTON, übi,v absence was clothed with so Much Mystery, arrived at New t:, t, the United States, in September last, in the ship Boy, Bremen, and previously to his visiting New - York, passed ral d a y: - ' that place, where he was re and a profuse diipley of the name of Clinton. sold at Truro, March 18, itity of fine Copper, 173 rerage standard, 1121. 15s.

By the arrival of a Brazil Mail this morning we have received Papers from Rio Janeiro to the 17th of January. They are principally filled with decrees of the EMPEROR for consolidating and strengthening his Government. Addresses from various Cities have been sent, highly approving of the liberal Constitution proposed by his MAJESTY, and requesting that it may be proclaimed as the law-of the Empire, without Waiting for the decision of a future Assembly. The EMPEROR is evidently jealous of the influence of the natives of the mother country, and has ordered that all Portuguese litho have arrived since the Decree of the, January,lB23, and have not taken the oath of fide lity. to " the cause, of Brazil and the person of his Impe rial MAJESTY," shall leave the Kingdom. The Marquis of Maranham (LOrdCsucunAsE) was about to sail on an important expedition, but of what nature or where di rected is not stated. The, following are extracts : FROM THE DIARIO DO GOVERNO OF RIO DE JANEIRO OF THE 10TH JANUARY. - The Emperor has resolved that , the ship of the line. Pedro I. the frigates Peranga and Netheroy, and the Atlanta schooner, shall sail from this port on an im portant expedition, under the command of the chief Admiral, the Marquis of Maranham (dated Dec. 30.) A Resolution, dated sth January, orders the Admiral to send out the Atlanta on the 10th, to Bahia, with Ma jor-General F. Caldeira Brant Pontes, whom it is to land theie, with two English Officers of the brig Bahia. • An order from the Police to the Judges of die several districts of the city desires them to have patrols made in the night to arrest suspicious persons : those who arc found with arms are to be severely punished : a daily report is to be made to the Police. JANUARY 13.—His Majesty the Emperor desiring on the one hand to avoid ail causes of rivalship between the citizens of Biazil, whatever may be the place-of their birth, and that all may peaceably enjoy their rights, under the protecticn of the law ; and on the other, that the tranquillity of the empire may never be disturbed by the affirm of persons who, under the name of friends, and on pretence of desiring to settle here, ' come with sinister instructions to sow disorder, and pervert the good and peaceable citizens of this Empire, the tranquillity of which is the first object of his pa ternal cares, orders, through the Secretary of State for the affairs of Justice, that the Intendant General of Police, proceeding to the most scrupulous and serious examination, shall cause immediately to leave the Em pire : Ist. All Portuguese who, having arrived since or during the time of the decree of the 14th of January, 1823, have not taken, in the Chamber of this City, the solemn oath of fidelity to the cause of Brazil, and to the person of his Imperial Majesty, as prescribed in the second article of that decree; and giving orders to exa mine whether, in the other Chambers of the Province, there are any who have not taken this oath, who are to be proceeded against in the same manner. Secondly—All those who have arrived since the De cree of the 20th of November of the same year, which suspends the operation of the first.—His Majesty re commends the most strict attention to these orders.— Dated January 3. Circular letters to the same effect have been sent to all the Provinces. JANUARY 16.—The Emperor, wishing to reconcile a s far as possible the service and splendour of the Church with the prosperity and safety of the empire of which he is the perpetual defender, and judging that the number of the Ministers of the Church ought not to be increased without real necessity, depriving the country of the arms of those %%Ito might defend it against its enemies, orders the Bishop not to admit any persons to holy orders without his Majesty's special permission. Priests' orders may, however, be given to those who have been already ordained in wait. In a notice, of the 3d January,' it is stated that corn plaints have been made to his Majesty of the delays in determining the cases of the prizes taken by the Navy ; and the reporter on these causes is ordered to gis e an account, without delay, of the cases which have been decided in the first instance, and of the causes which have retarded their progress. To this the reporter answers, that he has proceeded with all the dispatch that he was able; and that the de lays have arisen from the obstacles thrown in the way of the final sentences, either by the captors or the owners ) who calnot be denied their right of appeal. (• • - , . ~~` _;. An Order of his Majesty, of the 7th, commands that the cargces of the prizes in the port, and of those that arrive in future, shall be landed at the Custom-house, there to remain for greater security till they caa be de livered to those to whom they shall be finally adjudged by the competent tribunal. The Emperdr refers to the Board of Commerce cer tain Petitions of Brazilian merchants at Rio, who corn plain of having to pay higher Custom-house duties than the British merchiints. After our Paper had gone to Press yesterday, we re ceived the Moniteur of Saturday, from which we gave, in a part of our impression, an extract frOm a private let ter dated Fort Royal, Martinique, the27th of January, which announces the arrival' there, on the jiteced, ing day, of the much-talked of Fiench fleet, con sisting of the Anemone, the Rose, and the Emeraude. The Topaze had arrived on the 19.11 of that month. The Anemone and the Rose were under weigh to pro ceed to Guadaloupe, the place of their destination. The Topase arid the.Emeraude would remain at Martinique. The avowed object of these vessels is to suppress the piracies which had become so frequent on the coasts of the French, Colonies. It is not stated that they carried out any troops. - So much for the great French Beet of which some of our alarmist contemporaries made so much a few months ago. We have since received the other Paris Journals of Saturday, but they contain no additional intelligence of importance. The intelligence from Made id in these Papers comes down to the 10th instant, and states, that Mt. Pettez l JUANA, one of the newly appointed Members of the Criminal Tribunal at'Madlid, had just set out for To ledo, accompanied by a French force, with the orders of the Governmeni to release from the prisons of that city a great number of individuals who bad been lan guishing in confinement for nine months, without any other crime than the will of some_ persons, who, by their own authority, had taken them to prison, saying they were Negros.' The proceedings in the House,of Comm Ons last night were interesting to the Manufacturing and Commercial World, as well as to-the Public in general, so far as the use of Linen, Wool, and Wine is concerned. It will be . seen ftom the - debate, that it is the intention of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to diminish the bounties on linen one tenth of their amount annually, com mencing on the 25th of January,lB2s. The wine duties will not be altered at present. The duty on wool it is . proposed to reduce at two periods; the first reduction, of threepence per pound, to take place on the 10th of September next, and the second reduction of twopence on the 10th of December. The House then went into a- Committee on the Silk Duties Bill, when the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER extended the allowances for Silks on hand to such Pieces as had been cut only to exhibit patterns. Afiei this liberal concession, which was received with much gratitude by the advocates for the trade, Mr. BARING .moved that the new regulations do not begin to operate till the year 1829, instead of 1826. The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER in reply, read letters from ;he Com mittees of Silk Manufacturers at Derby and Manchester, approving of the measures proposed by Government, and expressing alarm at the opposition made to them in Parliament. The Right Hon. Gentleman then maintained that the proposed measures were generally viewed by Silk Manufacturers in a very different light from that which had been represented. There was, indeed, "he added, “ a party concerned that felt great alarm, and that party was no other than the manufacturers of silk in France. His information assured him that there was a general feeling in France of the greatest alarm, that with our free trade and other resources, we should do them irreparable injury in the different markets of the world, Where at present they met us as superiors. This alarm he was willing to set against that of our own countrymen, and he thought indeed that it would of itself be almost a . sufficient ground for the :measure."— After this triumphant defence of the measure, Mr. BARING had the good sense to withdraw his amend ment, and all the clauses havingbeen filled up ,. the Bill ..was ordered to be reported this day. several days at Jr. ilortotes ' Hotel, in that marked I..ir the eccentricity'of his manners, • tuu,•rkable Warts, &c lle bad assumed idisuoa INTELLNiaNcE.—Copper Ores so tB2 tons. Average produce, 74.—Q,uant t ‘r•o• Astwnt of 5a1e,15,2291. 35.4 d." Ares DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Richard the Third was performed last night at this Theatre, and Mr. KLAN, inspired by the view of a numerous audience, went through the part of the astucious - and remorseless tyrant with all the excellence which originally established his fame as a first-rate Actor. The revived Melo-drama.of Tekeli followed, the last scene of which is one of the most complete representations of the mag nificent horrors of war evenproduced at a Theatre. _ EXECUTION. • This morning, at eight o'clock, the dreadfql sentence of death was carried into effect in the Old Bailey, upon Sunnier Batas, aged 24, and .J 444getstin Wren, aged 20, for highway robbery, attended with circumstances of considerable aggravation. These culprits were convicted with a man named Elliott, Who is respited, in the January Sessions, of an attack on a vrvoit named Collins, near the road leading to Vauxhall Bridge; but meeting with rather an unexpected resistance, the ruffirns resorted to violence, and, finally, in their attempt to escape, one {it it believed Wren) fired i pistol, the ball front which passed through Mr. Collins's hat. They were, however, all secured very near the place of attack. Unfortunately these men had before undergone the ordeal of trial, and were known to the police as desperate ruf fians, capable of any act of violence; this, added to the circum stances of their crime, was calculated at nose to decide the necet,- sity of their being made an example; and although the prosecutor recommended them to mercy, which recommendation wai joInZl with an effort from another quarter, it was determined the should not be altered. The family of Wren were most respectable, and he, it seems, was the entire cause of the breaking up of their tortunes. lie was an only son, and every effort had beet. made by his family to wean him from the bad associations he had funned ; but hi vain, .s the unfortunate young man despised every kind of advice. On his being convicted fur this offence, and the Judge intimating that the law would take its course, his mother became so shocked that she in a short time died of a broken heart : his father also, finding himself reduced nearly to ruin, and seeing his son about to forfeit his life ignominiously, could not stand against such accumulated affliction ; he became deranged, and expired yesterday evening, at six o'clock. This was communicated to Wren last night, and he became so shocked as since scarcely to be able to attend to any reli gious instruction : he, however, fully admitted the justice of his wit tence,and expressed great contrition fur his crimes. •Mains has been extremely penitent, and since his condemnation has made must unceasing appeals to HrAveri for mercy. Ile has left a wife and two infant children to deplore his wretched end t they, we understand, are in a state of the most deplorable distress, and live in Peter -street, Westminster. This morning, Mr. Sheriff LA Utllt and his officers arrived at the gaol, at 20 minutes to eight o'clock, and instantly proceeded to the press-room, where the culprits were introduced, and pinioned. Wren was dressed in a blue coat and white trow,ers, and looked extremely respectable. His demeanour was carel , ss and bold ; but from the wandering of his eyes and his flushed countenance, it ap peared' his senses were wavering. Rains was extremely dejected and weak, but prayed with great fervour; he shook hands with the Sheriff, and begged him " to pity" Lis poor wife and children. The awful preparation: being completed, its 20 minutes the wretched men were led to the scaffold, attended by the Rev. Mr. Towns and Mr.•Bser.a. Rains, as he walked through the passages, repeatad the Responses at the conclusion of the funeral Service, and said. " Oh ! Loan, in the valley of death thou bast lifted me up ; *ippon and receive my soul now .y Wren first ascended the platform, and nodded to some persons in the crowd, and with a smile, exclaimed, " Good bye, Goo bless you." In a few minutes, the executioner having completed his arrangements, the drop fell, and they ceased, after a few struggles, to exist. Considering the wetness of the morning, an immense crowd assembled. I' IVINDSOII, MARCH 22. On account of the continued fall of rain, and the severity of the weather, his MAJSSTV hai not left the Royal Castle this morning. A numerous party is expected to dine with the Klan to-day. Among the distinguished characters expected, are the Russian Ambassador, the Duke of WAtuainvoir, the Marquis of AucLasav; Load J. Pacer, Mr. Cutaxas PAGET, the Marquis Gametas, Lord and Lady MARYBOILOUGH, &c. , Saturday, the Duke7r=honoured Sir CHARLES and Lady luxe with his company to•dinner. Sunday, the Duke of lonic honoured Mr. -and Mrs. APAUTHNOT with his company to dinner : there was a numerous party ofidistinguished characters to inter his Royal Highness. There was also a numerous party to tea, &c. in the evening. Yesterday morning the Earl of CLANCARTY, his fa mily and suite, arrived in town from his Embassy at the Nether lands, which office the Noble Earl has filled since the elevation of the House of Orange. The Noble Earl, soon after his arrival, pro • seeded to the Secretary of State's Office for foreign Affairs to transact business. Yesterday the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the Earl of WISTMOLLAND, atid. Earl BATHURST, transacted business at the Foreign Office. Earl WHITWORTH and the Duchess of DORSET enter tained the Duke and Duchess of Lasos and a distinguished patty at dinner yesterday, at their house in Grosyenor-square. Yesterday morning, as Mr. TOPSHAM And his servant had just started in a buggy from the square, in Sloare-street, the horse took fright at sonic mischievous boys pelting each other, got the bit out of his mouth, and started off at full speed ; the conse quence was, the overturning of the chaise, which was literallf dashed to pieces. Mr. TOPSHAM had an Mai broken, and the servant was taken up in a senseless state. We have the satisfaction of stating that Mr. CANNING has, in the most prompt and humane manner, attended to the case of Mr. Mat-mews, the Gentleman taken with Ilintio; and that he has taken steps to procure the immediate liberation of t h at indivi dual. We have, however. reason to believe that on this as on other occasions the British Governnient has met with some difficulty with the Spanish Ministry, which is likely to become a subject of re- ,r 6 NAVAL INTI:LLIGENCE. The Honourable Company's ship Farquharson, arrived at the Cape on the 28th January, front China, and on the 20th ditto, fell in with the Thalia, Mose°, from Batavia, is distress for want of men; took bar in tow off Algoa Ray ? but was obliged to cast her off from stress of weather, with five men belonging to the Farqu. harson on board. • The.

They contain little matter of moment. His Majesty's ship ltocnroser Ailed for England on the lit of that month, and the Crwericutas sailed on the afternoon of that day; with the GLascow, Tatum*, and Per Arrest frigates, for Algiers.. Letters from the Sandwich Islands state, that a Rus sian frigate and two sloops of war were. cruising on the North' West Coast, in July, in quest of American vessels, but had not fallen in with any. The Waterloo East Indiaman, which has arrived in the Channel, left Canton on the 9th of December. This is a remark alby shor tvoyage. Amity with the Chinese was perfectly restored.. Saturday noon last, a middle-aged man, who refuses to disclose his name, entered the shop of Mr. Tooth, linen-draper, Hastings ' and made a purchase of sever a l articl e s, for th e p ayment of which he tendered a £lO note of the Portsmouth Bank. Doubt ing its being genuine, BIG Teeth applied at the Hastings Bank, only a few doors distant, and learnt it was one of the Portsmoutit stolen notes; on this Mr. Tooth, stepping to the door, beckoned the man in, whowas waiting on the pavement, and who no sooner en tered the bank than the key was turned upon him, and his person searched, when others of the same bank, to a considerable amount, were found ; some in a - pocket-book, and others wrapped round his legs beneath the stockings. Information of the circumstance was received in town yesterday morning, and the parties Interested will immediately leave town for Hastings jail, where he is committed. The guards and mail-coachmen who arrived in town this morning, state that there was a great fall of snow in the early part of the morning, which continued, without intermission, from two o'clock till their art ival in Lontbard.street.
