My Lord,—My dispatch to your Lordship, No. 47, of the 17th ult., will ':,N° described the operations and movements of the troops under my command up to that date. 2. Shortly after its transmission, Lieut.-Colonel Per eevai reported that, in continuance of his cperations he had completely cleared the Fish River Bush of the enemy, spoiling him of 350 head of cattle, and many goats and horses, capturing also several stand of arms, and slaying many of his men. I canpot too highly commend the'very able, judicious, and soldier-like con duct of Lieut.4.3olonel Perceval in the performance of a very arduous and difficult duty; which he effected by a succession of movements so well combined that the ser vice was carried out with - the loss of only one man killed and one wounded. The Lieut.-Colonel speaks in terms of great praise of the conduct of Major Armstrong of the Cape • Mounted Rifli?s, and of the troops and burghsrs employed, the latter numbering about 35 from the district of Albany. 3. The facility with which, comparatively speaking, the Fish River Bush has been cleared on this occasion, may induce your Lordship to regard former operations as ill planned. I pray you, therefore, to bear in mind that the Kafir fought in this dense bush in a very dif ferent spirit, and that the numerous Hottentots, formerly in this stronghold, had dispersed before the late opera tions., I regard Lieutenant-Colonel Perceval as an officer of • the •bigaest promise. 4. The troops under Major-General Somerset, after , he enemy had been dislodged from the Waterkloof and Fuller's Hoek, pursued him through the Kat river, having sentscavalry patrols into the passes of the Water kloof. The latter slew several of the fugitives, and captured 38 horses. 5. The columns of Lieutenant-Colonel Michel and Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre having joined me at the Blink water on the 16th ult., I marched on the 18th for the valley cf the Chunsie; on the line of the enemy's retreat into the Amatolas. From that point, on the 21st ult., Lieuteaant-Colonels Michel and Eyre were ordered to penetrate the Inner Amatolas, while Lieutenant-Colonel Perceval, having been directed to march upon Fort Cox on the completion of his operatious in the Fish River Bush, entered the mountains on that side. The instruc rried on four days' t i o 6 n . s c t o n l t e h n e e s i e a m o ffi t e c h e e r s l aanrde Eyre most active operations, being joined on the third day by Colonel Perceval; destroying the enemy's villages, es pecially those of Hottentot rebels, in his most formida ble holds; Colonel Eyre acting on the arc of the circle of which the operations of Colonel Michel and Colonel Perceval were the chord. They captured all the cattle they saw_about 50 head—and each officer in his report regards the flight of the enemy and his abandonment of the Amatolas as most complete. They could see them and their families at a distance, moving in great num bers towards the Kel. Colonel Michel thus expresses himself:—" From my own observation I am enabled decidedly to say that the Gaika tribes generally have migrated from these their strongholds. With crops utterly destroyed, and with a spirit so broken that now two companies may traverse with safety where hereto fore a largo column was required, I deem the war in this quarter virtually concluded, although the faithles, ness of seeming allies and bands of marauding Hotten tots may yet for a time prevent the conclusion of a peace." The following occurs in the report of Colonel Eyre: —" We advanced through the Bomah Pass to the Quilli Quilli (Proper), thence through the Gulu Valley, ascending the heights, and back again through the Bomah Pass. The result satisfied me that this part of the mountains was entirely abandoned. With the exception of three Kafirs whom I could see through my telescope, all Woking towards the Kabousie Neck, two or three women in the bush, too old to trek, and two Kafirs near the- Bomah Pass, there was not a living soul to be seen, while all the spoor indicated that the cattle had tr liked towards the Kabousie during the rains that fell as we entered the mountains. In the after noon I marched with the whole force through the Lenge and bivouacked on the Keiskamma. On the following day, the; 24tb, I marched to Fort Cox." 7. I inclose The copy of a report from the Gaika Com missioner, corroborative of those of the officers in com mand of patrols. 8. These operations having been thus most effectually and energetically carried out, I moved my head-quarters on the 25th ult., to Fort Cox, where I had assembled the troops under Colonels Michel, Eyre, and Perceval, on issuing the general instructions annexed. 9. Having established Colonel Michel with his column at Fort Cox, occupying M ount Macdonald, I, on the fol lowing day, the 26th ult., returned to head quarters at King William's Town, moving at the same time the commands of Colone's Eyre and Perceval for the pur pose of 'posting the former in the Keiskamma Hoek, and the latter on the range of the Qutlls Quilli. Previously, however, Coloneltojl r t e h , penetrate and .celivv,r . a i t t r a n k t ihnCegogluroepnaet'lhPirc forestr Perceval, , aria,tho thoroughly Buffalo to of o geseotiretsanodf the e p n o e o m rt y s . , a n T d hi al s t r e a r n z w , o all day g s r ' ea e t ne r r of 100 head of cattle a nd several horses having de termined operations, was most effectually performed, up wardsbeen (raptured, great numbers of villages burned in the e d on t v h e e ry ve fo rg re e st o , f a t n n d e la w rg o e ud fi s e . lds so o ar f e Scarcely art cultivation destroyed resistance was offered by the enemy. Colonel Eyre describes these forests as more dense and difficult to penetrate than even those of Fuller's Hoek and the Blink water. While these operations were in progress, I detached Capta h it_i ost himself 'fo ment from King Williams Town, to P . Moody, of the Royal Engineers, with a strong detac tween Murray's Krantz and the Delo Berg, to intercept fugitives driven before Colonel Eyre. 10. The 12th Lancers had previously marched to oc cupy the Kabousie Neck. Major Totte nham, command ing the regithent during the temporary illness of Lieut.- Colonel Pul -- e, reports that, on hi s march thither be captured 78 head of cattle and a number of goats, all being driven towards the Kei,,• an d that he observ ed large herds in the di s t ance ra pidly moving in the same direction, indicatin g a genera l tr ek. 11. On the eveni ng o f t h e 28th ult. I receiv ed infor mation corroborati ve , o f t h e a b ove , on which I could re l y , that large herds of G a ik a catt l e , neeing from the Arne toles, had been coll ec t e d at t h e junction of the D oorn and Thomas rivers w i t h th e K e i, a country well ad a p ted for concealment an d d e f ence. I t h ere fore immediately sent orders to Colo ne l E yre not to oc cupy, as original l y intended, the Keiskamma Hoek, but to detach Colonel Perceval for that purpose, and, moving his own column to the Kabousie Neck, to take with him the 12th Lan cers and make a rapid movement to seise these Gaika cattle, a service for which his enterprising character well adapts him. I at the same time detached from King IWilliam's Town Captain Rob er t son , of the Royal Engi neers, in command of a patrol of 250 men, to complete the work of devastation throughout the Isele Berg, a thickly wooded ridge trending from Murray's Krantz eastward to Hangman's Bush, and lying between King William's Town and the Kabousie. quickly as possible." So vigorous, however, was the pursuit, that it appears by a subsequent report from General Somerset, dated the Ist inst., that some of the enemy endeavoured to turn and make their way back to the Amatolas with their cattle. The Major- General'a mounted force came upon a part of these, and on the 28th ult. captured 1,500 bead of cattle. 14. On the evening of the 29th ult. I received a report from Colonel Michel that the rebel Hottentots and a body of Kafirs had collected in the Amatolas, and in terrupted detachments of our troops in the Wolf Valley or Den and neighbourhood of Mount Macdonald, and that it was his intention to move hi s who l e f orce u pon them. I regard this movem ent o f the enemy as caused by the temporary absence of C o l onels Eyre an d Per ceval. Their distance fro m t hi s nest of re b e l s , al though not great, was still sufficient to enable the latter to rally and assail detachments, according to their usual custom. Although all the ffieerts in command re ported their conviction that the Raffia generally had fled from the Amatolas, I was always of opinion that many of their warriors and of the rebel Hottentots would hang about the mountains so long as they could possibly there maintain themselves. Mr. Brownlee, the Gaika commissioner, entertained the same impressioo, as ap pears by the latter part of his letter of the 26il ult. (In closure No. 2). I have, through a Government notice, warned the colonists to continue most v i g il aa s, for they may rest assured the country w ill b e infested b y nu merous bands of robbers for m ont h s to come. Subse quent reports from Colonel Michel, one of them written from the abandoned Hottentot encampment in the Amatolas, are of the most satisfactory kind; his con tinued operations have been perfectly successful ; and Lieutenant-Colonel Perceval has also vigorously pur sued the enemy in every direction in which he was to be found. Wit/aisa's Town I learnt - . tha l t s t . h? Cnbinieyf arri val tock a la t ad K a in p g plied to Pato to use his in tercession in his favour. Inclosed is a copy of the T'Slam bie Commissioner's report on the subject. 16. Having also received information that many Gaikas had sought refuge in Umhala's country, I dis patched Messrs. Fynn and Conway to convey the an nexed message to the chief. He has paid 910 of the 1,000 head of cattle imposed upon him as a fi ne, and the remaining 90, paid on the 10th of Ap r il , are reported to be on their way to King William's Tow n . 17. The fickle nature of the Kafir deli g h ts in change, which he ever believes will turn, in some way, to his own advantage. Peace having been made by me on my arrival in Kafraria in 1847, Sandilli is fully impressed with the idea that a similar course will be pursued on the arrival of my successor. The Kafir feeling on this point is well set forth in the letter of Mr. Brownlee, the Gaika Commissioner, under date the 4th ult., a copy of which, marked No. 8, is enclosed. 18. I cannot avoid once more to express my deep mortification that the Burghers, as a body, upon whose aid I so much calculated in the early part of the war, and again on issuing my proclamation of the 7th of February, 1852, should have so signally failed in their duty to their Queen, to the colony, and to their families. As your Lordship, in your dispatch of the 14th of January last, appears to impute to me, with reference to them, a want of a proper conciliatory disposition, and draws a comparison between me and that able public officer, Mr. Pine, I transcribe a portion of a letter ad dressed to me by the Lieutenant-Governor on the 20th ult.:—" Your Excellency has been pleased to express your approbation 'of the policy I ha ve pursued with regard to the Boors of this dist r i ct . I feel if, emphatically however, yourrayduty to say that th at policy wasown; and if I h ave been able to carry out that policy more effectually than you could do, it has been simply owing to my having been on the spot, whereas you were compel led to carry it out by means of agents who either did not or would not comprehend its spirit. The Boers, however, perfectly appreciate your views re gar di ng them; and it is a sour ce of the greatest pride to me to y nsm e i a s ion a g with your own in th e home steads and perhaps will her ea f ter be, thinkgratefully mentioned in steads of these honest-hearted men." Your Lordship will observe that Mr. Pine, with that candour which is his guide, attributes his success to my example; and I may fairly say that if an honest and straightforward course, desiring t o p romo t e the interests and w e lf are o f a peoplo, fails in its object, I have nothing with which to reproach myself. 19. I have now reported to your Lordship the pro gress of events up to the date on which I relinquish the government of the colony of the Cape and the command of the army. My position has been as arduous, and one of as great difficulty, as ever man was placed in. The origin of this war involves a most intricate and truly complicated question, requiring a general view to be taken of antecedent subjects. It is an incontrovertible fact that the Kafir people were most contented with the rule established in British Kafraria; _whittle.shortly previous to the outbreak a restlessness on the part of' some Of the chiefs be came apparent. At this period the treachery of the fickle and ungrateful Hottentot teas at work.

Had it been otherwise the outbreak would have been far more formidable I even th an it has been. tried every expedient to avoid war short of that conces sion which would have lowered B dignity of her Majesty's authority; Yet a moat the i e 0_ this outbreak was, that no specific repecuoar assigned,featurrf nor any redress sought, by the Kafir was chiefs, eve though frequently called upon to state • . their cause of restlessness, if such actually while the Gaika people professed attachment existed; the exist ing order of things, and were -t0 con tented with a rule which prot ecte rparent y l most t ranny.

The Hottentots had been taught or had nb'bed the marked impression to which I have before s i ll d i ed, that they were an " oppressed and ill-used race and and that Holy Writ, which they are very fond f- of quoting, taught them they were justified in _fighting to regain the conn try of which they regarded themselves as deprived.

Admission—ONE SHILLING. unavoidably of gradual progression to insure the result I anticipated and have attained, and one which nould not have been conducted differently. I speak with some experience in war on a large scale as well as of a de sultory character. When regular armies - are opposed to each other a signal victory may decide the fate of a na tion. In a war with barbarians, who fight only when it so pleases them, avoiding concentration, but who are still determined to resist, the contest is necessarily of long duration. I may, therefore, proudly derive satis faction from the reflection which has led me to record these facts, that this war has been brought to the re quired conclusion with that expedition which all the peculiar circumstances permit, while during its pro. gress neither soldier nor troop horse has ever wanted his daily ration. Every fort and post is well supplied with provisions and .ammunition; large depots of the munitions of war are at head-quarters and at Graham's Town, and I have thus been recently enabled ta make considerable reductions in the transport—a very expen sive branch. I have been well supported by the Com missariat and the Civil Department of the Ordnance, and I enclose a copy of my Genetal Order as a record of their respective merits. 23. I transfer the Civil Government without a single particle of business in arrear, and with a treasury with out a debt; while all the civil officers have worked under mo with energy and steal. The war impending over the Orange River territory, with all its evils and horrors, has been averted; while, had its prosecution become im perative, I had collected an ample depot of commissariat supplies at Bloom Fontein. Amicable relationship has been established with the Trans Vaal Emigrant Boers— the refractory native chiefs are restoring their plunder, and submitting to the conditions imposed on them—the turbulent Boers within the Sovereignty, when convicted of overt acts of disloyalty, have had heavy pecuniary fines inflicted on them, many of which, to the ainount.of 1,075 L, have already been promptly paid, which I have caused to be placed in the Imperial chest to its credit— property rises considerably in value—and the revenue of the Sovereignty exceeds its expenditure. The flourishing condition of Natal is deeply indebted to the able and judicous government of Mr. Pine, who, in a letter to me of the 20th of March, thus expresses himself:— The only service I have really rendered your Excel lency was the sending the contingent into the Sove reignty, and the greater part of any merit there may be attached to that service belongs partly to you. It is an easy thing for a subordinate officer to do his duty when he feels that be has a chief above him who, pro vided he acts honestly and straightforwardly, will sup port him whether he succeeds or fails. Such a chief I have had in your Excellency." 24. I relinquish the command of the troops as ex pressed in the General Order annexed, at a period when, have been expelled from the Ama tolas ; when the Kafirs, c a o cc m o m rd a i n n d g a t n o d th ot e h r e e r po so rt u s I rces h , av t e h r e eeee mass ivci from o ofthe ffices in Gaikas cis as well as trans Keian, have repeatedly sued for peace, and when the war is virtually terminated; its continuance having been prosecuted to visit these turbulent savages with that retribution which justice demands, and accord ing to the injunctions in your Lordship's dispatch of the 13th of May, 1851, conveyed in the following terms:— " Your first care, before any permanent arrangements can be thought of, must be to put an end to the war; but desirable as it is that this should be accomplished as speedily as possible, I cannot too strongly express my opinion that you ought on no account to accept from the rebel tribes any imperfect submission, and that you should not allow hostilities to be concluded by anything but their complete subjection and unconditional sur render. It is thus only that a real peace, and not a short and hollow truce, can be o btained."—l have, &a., H. G. SMITH.

The Governor and Commander-in-Chief, whose proclamation and ge neral order announcing his assumption of the government and command of the army, by which I am removed from authority, have been promulgated, is expected every hour. I have, therefore, given it as my opinion to Colonel Mackinnon, the chief commissioner, that ho should reply to the effect that Sandilli is aware he ought to make application to the Gaika Commissioner placed by me at Fort Cox for the express purpose of receiving such messages, and I have also given Colonel Cloete, the Quartermaster-General, my opinion that he should direct the officers in command of columns in the mean time to continue hostilities. Lieutenant-Colonel Perceval reports of his opera tions—" On the sth instant I moved up the Gulu River, and searched the kloofs between the Gala and Doom Mountains. Under the krantz, and in one of the kloofs, we succeeded in capturing 219 head of cattle, killing two Kafirs, without any casualty on our part. At three o'clock, A N., en the 6th inst. I marched along the ridge between the Gulu and Keiskamma rivers to a krauts under the Doors Mountains, where we succeeded in fall ing in with the enemy's cattle, killing two Kafira, whose assegais were secured, and wounding somo others, and one Hottentot. After searching the various kloofs we captured 296 head of cattle, together with some horses. We returned to camp at half -past four o'clock P.M, after two days' very fatiguing work." Colonel Perceval's exertions aro most meritorious. Major-General Somerset has just reported that Lieu tenant-Colonel Napier, in command of a patrol, captured on the 7th inst. (yesterday), in very difficult ground, near the Thomas River, 3,120 head of cattle, 70 horses, and 1,500 goats, killing upwards of 50 of the enemy. This makes a total of 4,500 head of cattle captured by the troops under the Major-General in his pursuit of the enemy from Balfour. Captain Tylden, Royal Engineer; whose force from Whittlesea was attached to Major-General Somerset, thus reports:—" The party who ascended on the left flank and first turned the cattle, were led by Com mandant J. Holden Bowker and Lieutenants Mason and Warner, and that on the right by Captain Austen and Lieutenant Arnold, North Victoria Native Levy; and I have on this occasion brought the names of these officers to your notice on account of the gallant and deliberate manner in which 950 head of cattle and 50 horses were wrested from the enemy in the face of a powerful re sistance, the enemy attacking our rear and both flanks in order to recapture their cattle. Being, however, in strong ground, favourable for taking the cattle out of the ravines, we succeeded in bringing them up to the open heights, although the enemy followed on our rear until repeatedly repulsed. A very gallant affair occurred as a sergeant of the Cape Mounted Rifles, with 17 men of his corps, was conveying these reports from the Major-General. He fell in at night on the Golonci, a rivulet thirty-five miles hence, with a party of Kafirs and cattle. The Hottentot sergeant immediately attacked them, killed several of the enemy, took arms and assegais, and brought off five horses and 198 head of cattle. It gratifies :me much to be thus able in my last dis patch to report so favourably of the Cape Corps. The position of affairs in British Kafraria is now clearly developed, and the contents of the above dispatch corroborated. H. G. SMITH. 1 MPORTANT NEWS FROM AUSTRALIA. MELBouarre, JAN. I.—Last night a statement was made, that two men h.id arrived from Gipps' Land with 10,0001. 'worth of gold, and intelligence that there was a s old supply for the whole world. It is impossible to get a pair of Boots made or mended in Melbourne : nothing is thought of or talked about but gold." " Another correspondent states that the price of a pair of Boots is 50s. ; a pair of strong Shoes, 205." With such important informa tion before the emigrant, we need say li'tle ab ‘ut the inconvenience attendant on going out unp , ovided with a. proper supply or Cothing, Boots, Shoes, Shirts, and Utensils, such a§ are inclu ed in the inimi table Outfits supplied by E.

It is of the highest importance that the Emigrant should he provided with an Outfit of known sultaAllty and specially adapted to the country he has chosen, as well as the business it is his intention to pursue. This is the pro minent feature in E. MOSES and SON'S Outfits. They keep a separate department in their gigantic estab'ishment for the Out fitting business. They have dispatched more business in that de -I,artment than any house in the world and they have concentrated the knowledge and experience of many years : se that it is every way calculated to prove the greatest advantage to all parties emigrating. E. MOSES and SON are in a position to supply any number of Emigrants with every article they will require for the passage and the country to which they may go.

Captain Robertson returned on the 2d inst., hav ing completely traversed the country pointed out in my instructions. He reports it to be completely abandoned by the enemy. A few huts and some fields of ripe corn were destroyed, no one having been near to gather it, and no spoor of cattle was discovered. Colonel Eyre's report reached me on the sth inst. Having, according to my directions, gained the Kabousie Neck, and been joi , ,ed by the 12th Lancers, he made a rapid march on the indicated position on the Kei, which he reached at daybreak on tho 31st tilt. The enemy was completely taken by surprise, and Colonel Eyre coming on the fresh spoor or track of cattle, at once pursued it down the bed of the Kei. By another vigorous night march he came up, on the morning of the Ist lost, with the flying herds, driven upon an insulated mountain. A moat judicious m.ivement of the troops in detached parties, so ably dis posed as to prevent escape. was immediately made, and after some opposition, 1,220 head of Gaika cattle, 15 horses, and hundreds of goats, were captured. Colonel Eyre had previously detached Major Armstrong with 100 cavalry to his left, to take possession of a diffi• cult pass, stronely ocenpied by the enemy, mounted and on foot. After completing this service, that officer, by a dexterous manceuvre, in which he appeared to fly before the enemy, lured him into some comparatively open ground, then, suddenly turning, drove him back, with considerable loss in killed, charging himself directly to the front with the detach ment of Cape Corps end Armstrong's Horse, while Cap tain Digby's troop of the 12th Lancers fell upon the right rear of the enemy.

Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of his Excellency her Majesty's High Commissioner, that one of my messengers, despatched by me to the Amatola and Wolf River to obtain information for me, returned this morning, stating that all his relations had left the Wolf River, and that tew Kafirs were there and in the Amatola. My informant saw no cattle, and only three fires, and he states that the Kafirs have moved to wards the Gwilligwilli Mountains and the Buffalo Poorts, being unable to remain in this neighbourhood daring the operations of the last few days. While many of the Gaikas have actually crossed the Kei, and not a few have dispersed themselves among the friendly tribes, there are yet many who will, with the chiefs, continue to conceal themselves in the mountains, awaiting the arrival of his Excellency Sir 11. Smith's successor, when it is probable that they will adopt some decided course in order to obtain peace. I have, &c. CHARLES BROWNLEE, Gatka Commissioner. Lieutenant-Colonel Garvock. No. 3.

The columns under Colonels Michel, Eyre, and Per ceval will have this day complet.d the movements pre viously ordered in the Inner Amatolas for the expulsion of the rebel G aikas, and will thus continue to prosecute this service. 1. Colonel Michel will establish the base of his opera tions at Fort Cox. 2. Colonel Eyre will march via Fort White, for the purpose of taking with him 15 days' provisions, and establish himself near his old camp in the Keiskamma Hoek as the base of his operations. 3. Colonel Pereeval will march via Fort White, taking with him 15 days' provisions, and as the base of his ope rations establish himself on the Quilli•Quilli Range, taking his gun with him. 4. Colonel Pole will march via Fort White and King William's Town, and, with a corps of cavalry levies and Fingoes, which will be given to him, establish himself on the Kabousie Neck, with 15 days' provisions and forage. 5. These corps will daily dispatch strong patrols in every direction from their respective bases, so as to render the Amstolas too hot for the rebels to remain in them. 6. The garrison of Fort Peddie will frequently patrol the Fish River Bush; the garrison of Fort Brown, the Bees Bush; and the garrisons of Fort Here, Blinkwater Poet, Post Read, Eland's Post, and Whittleses, will patrol their respective neighbourhoods with vigour and activity. 7. Meanwhile Major-General Somerset, with his field force of regular soldiers, levies, and burghers, will act upon the north side of the Amatola, penetrating those mountains daily, and communicating with the Cradock burghers under Commandant Gil6ilan, and with the cavalry under Colonel Pole, on the Kabousie Neck. 8.

K ing William's Town, April 2. The troops moved from Fort Cox, according to the " Memorandum of Movements" of the 24th ult., already published. Lieutenant-Colonels Eyre and Perceval, before taking up their positions in the Keiskamma Hoek and on the moved, by his Excellency's instructions, to clear the forest of Perie, the Buffalo Poorts, and Murray's Krantz—a service which was very effectually performed, with but slight opposition, upwards of 100 head of cattle and seven horses being captured. The 12th Lancers moved on the 28th ult. from King William's Town to Kabousie Neck, and on their march captured 78 head of cattle and a number of goats, trifl ing towards the Kei, with pack oxen. Information having reached his Excellency, during Colonel Eyre's operations at the Buffalo Poorts, that numbers of Gaika cattle were collected at the Doorn and Thomas Rivers, orders were sent to him to march immediately to the Kabousie, take with him the 12th Lancers, and endeavour to effect a capture. Colonel Perceval was at the same time directed to move into the Keiskamma Hoek. Colonel Eyre's rapid movement is attended with every prospect of success. In the Wolf Valley and heights above it several shots have been Exchanged with the 60th Rifles and 45th Re giment, under Lientenant•Colonel Nesbitt and Major Kyle; and five soldiers of the 60th Rifles slightly wounded, apparently from trees. Colonel Michel had got his guns, with incredible ex ertion, upon Mount M'Donald, and is there established; while Colonel Perceval is in a position to co-operate with him from the Keiskamma Hock. Reports have been this day received from Major_-Gvee neral Somerset up to the I st inst. His operations ha been carried on in the direction of the Windvogelbergene it o and Thomas River, and his ra p id pursuit of the enemy has caused 1,500 bead of cattle to fall into his hands. General Somerset reports the Refire as being completely broken and divided. On the 30th nit. a patrol of 250 men moved from King William's Town under Captain Robertson, Royal Engi neers, for the purpose of completing the devastation of the country stretching from Murray's Krantz along the Isek , Berg to Hangman's Bush. A few patches of ripe corn were found and destroyed, but everything indicated the total abandonment of that part of the country, as the crops were not gathered. Captain Robertson returned this morning to head-quarters. The Chief Umhala has paid nearly the whole of his fine of 1,000 head of cattle, 80 head only remaining to be brought in. All officers commanding patrols corroborate the re ports of the rest, that the Kafiri are treking out of the panatelas; but the colonists may rely that the frontier districts will long be infested by numero us b an di tt i , and that they must not slacken in their vigilance for some months to come.

The reason for the course now adopted by the chiefs is, that they imagine they will obtain easier terms by a bold bearing and a professed indifference to peace, than by admitting themselves to be in a position in which terms may be dictated to them; and on the whole it is evident that a change of Government in the present po sition of our affairs will have the effect of prolonging the struggle in which we are now engaged.—l have, &c., CHARLES BROWNLEE, Gaika Commissioner.

The Commander-in-Chief desires to record his marked approbation of the able manner in which all commis sariat arrangements have been conducted, under the auspices of Commissary-General Miller, in the early stage of the war, and during the greater part of it; and again by his successor, Commissary-General Maclean. By their able arrangements, every post and patrol have been well supplied; not a soldier or a troop-hors. has wanted his day's ration; while his Excellency is fully satisfied that every economy has been rigidly exer cised throughout this long and arduous conflict, em bracing services of a most extended and peculiar na ture, attaching not only to the royal troops, but to the burghers and levies throughout the colony; thus re flecting that honour and credit towards one of the most important branches in the service which demand the record of his Excellency's !narked approbation and ap proval. The analous exertions and ability of Deputy-Commis sary-General Green, Assistant-Commissaries-General Inglis and de Smidt, and Deputy-Assistant Commissary- General Potgeiter, have been continually under the marked approbation of the Commander-in-Chief. His Excellency also desires to record equal approba tion of the conduct of the officers of the civil branch of the Ordnance department, whose labours have been in cessant and continuous, reflecting great credit upon the zeal and activity of Mr. Cooper and Air.

The unceasing labours, the night marches, the burning sun, the torrents of ruin, have been encountered with a cheerfulness as conspicuous as the intrepidity with which you have met the enemy in so many enterprising fights and skirmishes in his own mountain fastnesses and strongholds, and from which you have ever driven him victoriously. I leave you, my comrades, in the fervent hope of laying before your Queen, your country, and his Grace the Duke of Wellington, these services as they deserve, which reflect so much honour upon you.
