The Bride river being full, we were obliged to go along its banks till we came to the port or ferry boat, which is similar to their waggons, level at each end and fastened to a thick rope tied to stakes on each side the river, this ruuuing along the side of the host through rollers., one man is sufficient to push it across, though loaded with • waggon, two bullocks, and my two horses. In half an hour from the river I arrived at Zweßroaden, di►tant from Human's 22 miles. The town has a very pretty appearance, the white houses and the range of mountains at the back, and the cultivated lands around, appearing from the dis. lance like gardens, strike the eye of a traveller, especially an ludian, and one used to the flats of Betigul. 1 rode up to the Landeost, M►. B.'. house, to vrlsoin I had letters of introduction, but found he mos out in his tents some miles off. I was directed to the I se of the Field Cornet, a name given to th e ti nte r ,- who carries into effect the orders of the Listiiirust, and who In the Dutch time raia:d the farmers in the neighbourhood and headed them ogaitot the liaffers. They are expected to entertain all travellers. who also must report themselves to them. The Cornet, Peter 'route, was also from home, but his wife and water, two very pretty women, especially the letter, welcomed me in Dutch; and the Landrost's ser. vent, who had contliicted me here, spoke English, to dust 1 explained all my wants. As it was necessary to snake arrangements for my future progress, 1 begged the servants to hire me too hussies, my own bring too fatigued to go on. A relation of my hostess now Caine in, mid as he spoke a little Eng telt, I contrived to keep up • kind of eourrnatiun until the hovers arrived, loge. tiler with a guide, when I was told that the Land. lost was not more than au hour and a half's die twice ulf. We kept along the ranged the Zwellemlom Bing, till we arrived at r steep delimit and a Worm' the uypunte Iti about three hours after starting, we yew two moll tents. and riding op u them, tumid Air. IL who, in the politest monster, did terry thing 1 minuet' ; pre tae a route for my journey, and• it' getters! order to the farmer in his district to give me eve* y 'moistener, t hon k It he strong ly advised me to give up the trip, millets weals', on many account.. be iroplempent, if not dangerous. 1 wits not. however. io amine of 'naiad to attend to any friendly advice on this head, MD that at 3 p. I took leave of him for my return to his boom, pre paratory to my journey., . Soon after we set tout,• the ; horses *hewed they could cot carry us hack to Zwellendans, and we were actually obliged to dismount and drive them up the Kloof for several miles ; and when we, re. mounted, we could not get them out of a trot. My guide fortunately came by a much nearer road back again through the valley, close uuder the Bing. I was exceedingly tired MI my arrival. hoe. ing been full ten hours on horseback. since the morning. I found two gentlemen with our hostess at dinuer, and both_of them spoke English. My forcioduccd NI•40 Immo *hem osed Abeam to rem, May 12.—The horses being much fatigued, and the road before described to be hilly and bad. 1 deemed it advisable to purchase a third horse to carry the portmanteau. It rained all this day. so that I determined on staying the morrow also. At three p m. I went to dine with the Secretary to the Lendrost. who with his wife made the day pass away pleasantly. He had been at Chingurili, in Bengal, when that place was in possession of the Dutch. and greatly preferred India to Africa.— He told me, that corn. and a small quantity of cattle, were the only articles of trade in the district. He then described the different modes of land. tenure. slid lamented. on the farmers' account, the abolition of the Slave Trade. as slaves are for the most part the cultivators of the land. The Hottentots are averse to labour. require high wages, and their number is comparatively few. They were very numerous when the Dutch about a century ago established themselves here ; but from a mistaken policy they were early driven by degrees out of South Africa. No encourage ment was given to sit increase of population, for they were ism permitted to settle in numbers, nor to keep their former flocks and herd.. The Dutch cow. however, see their error. The few Hottentots that remain cannot, ander our Government, be forced to labour, ■nd require from the Boors from half ■ ris dollar per day, be sides their food and drams. The non-importation of slaves has increased their value ten-fold, and five thousand dollars is now not an unusual price fair a useful one. The consequence is, that the poorer farmers are now obliged to do every thing almost fur themselves. I have often found but one Hot tentot to cook and perform the menial offices, the Boor and his children ploughing. sowiug, and eve■ leading their own oxen. The front pair of a span of oxea in ■ waggon are always led, mid it is con. aidaved the lowest oteupation. It is therefore very distressing In those whn are obliged to du it. As fair as I have been able t 3 judge, the slaves in Africa are by no means that unhattpy ill-treated race of beings, that those of the West bodies are described to be. Here they are generally well clothed, always well fed, have high spirits, tend ap pear to be a sort of privileged servants, talking with the greatest familiarity to their masters and mistresses. Their children are always brought up with those of the house, and appear to enjoy every thing in common with them ; as they grow tsp they are taught different trades ; the females household occupations, and modes to be waggoners, &c. After their masters da3'a work is fioished, they are allowed to work nut their own account. and with their savings they in time purchase their freedom. That there are instances of brutality towards them, there can be no doubt, and sometimes indeed whets a poor fellow has purchased Isis liberty, his msster afterwards denies it, and sells him again. Such monsters are to be found in every country, but um of opinion, that, generally speaking, the slaves in South Africa are well treated. The town of Zwellesidarn is situated similarly to that of Grace&le, and resemble. Stellenbosch iu appearance. A stream called the Corn Laud River, runs through it, and there is a small neat chapel near; the wines., which are very had, are made by the neighbouring farmers, who find a moderate sale for all they manufacture, so that uo endeavours are made to improve the quality of them. May 28.—At sunrise I set offon my journey. but 1 had nut gone many yards, before my new purchased horse shrived me pretty plainly by his kicking and plunging, that he would not carry the portman teau, so that I made Casper exchange and mount him. In about an hour, we crossed the Ball Yaeth's River, a clear stream ; the load was goal, and wound round the Zwellendinn Berg. At ten we arrived at a farm house, where the horses were to be baited. The owner was unfor tunately out, but some Flottentot women gave sue a supply of bread, butter, and mirk, add as t had tea with me. I made a good breakfast, after which I remounted. On leaving the bed of the Karnemelko River, which was now guile dry, we passed on, and ►oon afterward, crowed the Slang River, a dirty stream, then the Davenuck's River, which was a clear um., and deeper than the former, though still fordable. On its banks is the farms of Daniel Torres. The Grotfather's (grandfather'.) bench's (woody) Ben* •nd the Plat Klool; now heeded the mail, and at tom we arrived at Peter Du Prie'a forte, on the Krionshulta's Nivrr, diotaitt from Zwelleodvin about forty miles.

The old couple lied been maned forty jeans, and had live sous and three daughters. Ito addition to the hospitality of their humble board, which I gladly shared, I was very thankful to my good old host for offering to lake care of one of my harms that had hero hurt, at►d lending me another to go as far as the ova farm, where could procure a substitute.

This river ii the boundary of the Zwellendam aril George's Districts. • A miserable breakfast was produced, and indeed misery was so visible on all uroUU.I, that though it threatened rain, I determined on proceeding for ward. We had now again to ascend and d recent! several hills covered with the aloe plant. After pooping them, we tarried southerly, and had a good road, ►eeing the sea fur the first titue, about three hours distruce to the right. We came up to the house of Field Cornet Batto. in about three hours. The family were all engaged picking wheat, and though these were also a miserable looking set, they cheerfully gave me what they could supply, namely, some beiton, brad. butter, end milk. The distance of tins place is 15 miles from the Gauritz River. After the horses had had an hour's rest, we con tinned 011 our journey, and attired io the evening at the house of Michael Myers, where 1 was - to stay the night.
