The concession provides that in a spans between two given lines the Company may recover and enclose land to the extent of about 35,000 acres. The extreme importance of this .undertaking attracted the atten tion of the Emperor Napoleon, and a barrier nearly identical in situ ation and purpose with that iatended by the present Company was Panned by him, but the decline.of the empire prevented the execu •t on of the project. dequac, of proposed works to the s o tteniplated result • - 'US been Levesi j iga - ed by Sir jolin Rennie; the Engineer of the Com pany, whose'report will be found annexed, The matter has • likewise been examined_ by Mr. A.

REPORT or SIR JOHN - RENNIE, F.R.S.• • London, 14th April, 1852; (lentteland, n'ort;--At your request .I have ex amined the district of conceded by the Dutch Government to Mr. Dirk Dronkers, of •m- eldieburg, comprising an extent of about 35,000 acres now ce *ered at spring tides. ti The feasibility of reclaiming this valuab'e district att r a cted the no- Z e of the Emp eror N a p o l e on, and a company was proposed to be r ined for that p ur p ose . In 1846 Mr. Rennie saw it, and the idea .gnally "`J struck him, and he reported accordingly. Mr. Locke, also, n - lade a repert to a similar effect, in fact the perfect practicabi -3r of the measure cannot be doubted, and the only questions to be eeso3idered are— !t• !rite cost of reclamation. 2 ._ 1 . The value o f th e l an d w h en rec l a i me d. with regard to the first.' The expense of reclaiming the land may e divided i n t o t wo parts, v i z , the wor k s o f th e cana l an d b arr i er , s and the additional sum required to gain the land. I consider the expense of reclaiming the land, including the canal and barrier, will amount to about 201. per acre. And if the land be sold as recovered, and the proceeds applied to further reclamations, Vrobably only one-half of the proposed capital of 50.',0001. will ever be called up. 'With regard to the second. It appears from the report of cost lbetent authorities, that the land when recla med will be extremely valuable, and may be cultivated so as produce a profit of up ,vrards of 61. per acre English per aLnum ; in order, however, to 'estimate Its real value, it will be better to take the selling price of the day, ; from this it appears that on the 1 6 th Marc h last, at apub tic saleat - HUlst, In Zealand, by order of the • Dutch Government. some isnreclahned 'lands'similar to those conceded to the Company Were sold for 501. per acre, and if to this be added the cost of em bankment the price would - be 601. per acre. ~„A , ",l l, milig,,therefore, the value of the lands of the Company, when - ;`.."' s wled, 'viz , 3,5,000 acres, at 60/. per acre, the whole would be "orth 2 ,100,000/. Now it appears that there are 7,500 acres fit for Immediate reclamation, which may be commenced and carried -on Simultaneously with the canal. 4,ooo'acres of , this quantity may be gained this season at a cost of 150,0001., tincluding . the works of the vAn ..„ u „ ,1 . 10 that period. The 4 , 000 acres t a ken at 601, p er acre Would be r. OOO /. • ; s and if more land can be reclaimed t hi s season,,which is not . FsProbable, the amount will be proportionably increased. Next sea . son a sirnilar amount Of lend 'may bo obtained with a like result ; and at each trueceeding year an additional quantity of land would be reclaimed until the whole quantity coneede f has been completed. Su Pl"lng,however, the land not to be sold , but to b e cultivated for • the benefit of the Company, then, taking the net profit of 61. per acre SccoNing to the Flemish valuation, there would be a revenue-of . 2 10,0001.. per annum - 4 and, unlike many other enterprises, the return `would commence 'when only one-third of the capital has been expended. • Making every allowance, therefore; for contingencies; it appears that there is just ground for expecting a profitable return on the Capital, , .1 am, gentiemen, your humble servant, • JOHN RENNIE. / . obe Directors of the Netherlands Land Enclosiire Company. MIGRATION .STATIST-ICS. au Every city, town, village, and hamlet in the 'kingdom now Participates in an enterprising spirit of Colonial Emigration. The ;Would's film Australia and other places continue to buoy up the, :ardent hopes of industrious adventurers : rich soil, healthy climates, ' c heat) land, and valuable Mines, are unquestionably advantages of 'the most important character. To t•articularise how many have al ready crossed the great ocean would be useless ; every day th e tide flows front all parts;and preparation's are making by immense num bers., Very few Emigrants are acquainted with the articles most necessary for their passage, or know what clothing and utensils will be most useful Yor them In far distant countries. • The incredible amount of Business E. MOSES & SON have 'dispatched in' the Outfitting Department, and the many years ex perience they have had in preparing articles for Emigrants to every Part of the world, has given- them the entire pre-eminence in the I) utAlling Branch, all Emigrants should apply to E. MOSES & SON for their Outfits—their superiority is universally admitted—their atilt ability for any country is guaranteed—and their prices are lower than at any other House in the World. The Emigrant like- Wise saves much valuable time by selecting his Outfit at E.

This day, the 17th inst., the columns of Lieutenant Colonels Michel and Eyre, uner my immediate coritriand, move, with five.days' provisions, on.the Chumie range of the Amatolas, for the purpose of dislodging the tribe of Tyalie and the rebel Hettentots, and then penetrating into the heart of the mountains, while I leave Major-General Somer set with his division to pursue the retreating enemye2oo Cradock burghers, under the Civil Commissioner, Mr. Gil fillan, operating at the same time from Whittlesea against the Tambookies. Every part of the rebel enemy's country will thus be assailed. 16. I deeply regret, for the credit of the frontier -inhabit ants, to report that. only 200 burghers from the district of Somerseto/00-from - conlock, and 83 from Grahim:e_l_own k , have responded to my command. They Tlrsi bbeetasl fee' the volunteer system which I offered to their loyalty. They, then requested to be commanded to turn out. Their shuffling conduct is melancholy. There are many loyal and energetic men who do not fall under this censure, especially the burghers of Albert, under Mr. Cole, who, although they have not turned out on :this last occa sion, havingbeen only just dismissed after a long an haras sing though successful inroad over the Upper Kei, have done right good service during the wa-. 17. I am fully aware that I have been accused, during the progress of the campaign, of using the language of hyperbole m describing this numerous recontres which have occurred, and in giving praise to the gallant officers and troops as well as burghers. Possessing, however, some experience in war, I must maintain that such is not the case. Troops acting in the open field expect not the stimulous of praise; the sol dier sees his foe, 'and his British courage rises at each step ; but he who, after, perhaps, a night march of great length, has to ascend mountains or penetrate dense bush andravines, filled probably with a daring andintrepid enemy, as resolute as athletic, ready to murder any one who may fall into his hands, and whose warfare is of the most stealthy and enterprising kind, appreciates the praise of his commander, because when his acts are conspicuously daring he is con scious he deserves it. _ Iledoes his duty; but human nature renders even the soldier's intrepid heart sensible of the ap probation of his superior, which he is proud to know may reach the eye of his parents and friends. 18. "Upon the eve, therefore, of relinquishing this com mand, I will not shrink from the performance of my duty; and I here record the value I attach to the indefatigable services of Major-General Somerset, whose experience of thirty years in Kafir warfare, Its difficulties and its labours, render him a most valuable, as he is a highly deserving officer. Lieutenant-Colonel Michel, of the 6th Royal Regiment, has frequently distinguished himself in command, and on no oc casion more so than in the recent affair of the 15th instant, on the " Iron Mountain;" his energy in the field is equal to his zeal and attention to regimental duty. Lieutenant-Col. Nesbitt, of the 60th Rifles, merits much praise, and I re gret that I have only been able on one occasion to give him a separate command. . Lieutenant - Colonel Eyre, perpetually in the field since the commencement of hostilities, has been so frequently praised by me for his „invariable success in every operation intrusted to his conduct, that what .I now add enhances, and does not merely establish, his reputation. I must here record my opinion of the soldierlike and judicious manner in which be carried and cleared the stronghold of the enemy in Fuller's Hoek, a position occupied with defiance by Macomon ; and express nay conviction that the wac would remain unextinguished until that determined chief should be, as lee has been, thoroughly dislodged and expelled. This has been effected in a masterly manner by the gallantry, judgment, and perseverance of Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre. The 73d Regiment first set the example, under my orders, of taking the bush; they have been ever most successful, and the other regiments have emulated their exertions with equal results. Lieutenant-Colonel Pple has commanded I:?unrnogifto. :et an p rog re ss Fo r his efficient regiment, the 12th Lancers, with zeal and activity. Lieutenant-Colonel Napier, of the Cape Mounted Rifles, ' has frequently' Veen entrusted with the direction of patroles, which he has•ever well conducted. Lieutenant-Colonel Yarborough, of the 91st, is a steady officer, and greatly , distinguished himself on the day he was wounded. The 2d Queen's RegimeilLave, upon this occa sion, eccupied the different forts; their services clurieg the Infantry, na fl auna campaigntbrl3e:, iLieutenant-Colonels underan offi e Lieutenant-Col onel officer ofmuso kh ip,ip ir .oh : l 3 i, iousrfen. the h eLhiae3vulet Lieutenant- Colonel Li g ht en b ee n Colonel Perceval, of the 12th Regiment, has greatly at tracted my attention by his exertions, ability, and natural talent for command. Draj)r Kyle, commanding the four companies of the 45th Regiment, is a very valuable officer, and there is indeed no field officer, from the gallant Major Pinckney, of the 73d, downwards —the senior of his rank is this aruay—who has not well p erformed his ;many arduous duties. . ' 19. I fear, my Lord, that I render this a lengthy dispatch. At the wind up of a fifteen months' campaign, desultory, it is true, but on th a t account sad opposed as we have been to from 20,000 to 1,000 intrepid warriors, probably of even a more than usually arduous character, much labour will duties tteillel i eeg ernv d ci e ec ev ando,le naturally have devolved upon the officers of the staff, gene oe nf his a s rem professionark ab remarkable ral as well as persocal.

To Lieutenant- Colonel Garvock, m y private secretary, and Captain Maydwell, my military secretary, who have had the largest share of correspondence of every varied character, of any officers in this army, I am truly grateful. ' Their devotion to the public service merits every encomium. The perseverance of these officers has greatly contributed to insure that eco nomy in the public expenditure which I have endeavoured to enforce, and I hope with much success. My aide .de-camps, Major Holdich, Captain Smith, and Lieutenant Greville, have filled their situations with great utility to me and labour to themselves.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. Nothing could be more splendid than the appearance of these troops; they seemed to move as a single man, and it was remarked that the heavy cavalry, the Chit rassiers and the Carbineers were exceedingly enthusias tic in their demonstrations towards the PRESIDENT, the cry of Vive I'Empereur!" being more frequent amongst them than amongst the other corps. As the pupils of St. Cyr passed the PRESIDEt4T they cheered him loudly, and then on the word being given they turned down the Champ de Mars right shoulder forward in double quick time, with such extraordinary precision, notwithstanding their running, that the spec tators burst forth inti involuntary applause. The Foot Cbasseurs all passed before the PRESIDENT at the same rapid speed, their bugles in front playing, and the orowd applauding most loudly. But, what was one of the most striking points of this part of the proceedings, was when the recently blessed standards were carried before the PRESIDENT in great state, accompanied by a guard of honour, composed of non-commi ss i one d o ffi cers a ll de corated. The band played at the time the march from the " Maya' de Bronze," and the whole body then passing was so aoldierlike in appearance that the loudest applause burst out from the crowd and continued for some time. The standarda were, after the day's pro ceedings, placed in one of the room of the Ecole Mili taire, and will be immediately forwarded to their re spective regiments. 11. G. Snarl.

Throughout the day the deputation of the Arab chiefs excited great in terest from the picturesque strangeness of their attire, and the dignity of their appearance and demeanour. They were in general handsome men, of about the middle age, of middle stature, with short black beards and white burnous. They bore their part in tbe oar.- mony with an unimpassioned indifference, nearly ap proaching to apathy, unless when by chance some point of the proceedings awakened a sympathetic feeling in their minds; and then all at once they started for an instant into life, only to make the subsequent quiescence into which they subsided the more a'riking. The PRINCE was dressed in the uniform of a general officer, with doeskins and large military boots, and wore the gracd cordon of the Legion of Honour. He rode in frcnt of his brilliant cortege, on a dark bay chargef, which he managed with great skill. This beautiful anicial, which is English bred, was bought by tee Pan.. SIDENT for 300 guineas, and is considered by competent judges to bo cheap at that price. The saddle-cloth of the PRINCE was one mass of g(.ld embroidery, and well bafittcd the noble animal which blre it, and the occa sion. The Panics occasionally took off his plumed hat as he passed the different regiments. There were up wards of one hundred .English officers on the grunhci, many of them in the uniforms of the Guard?. The musical mass was executed under the direction of M. ADOLPHE ADAM. The effect produced by the perfermence of the several pieces was exceedingly tine. The bands 0f.21 regiments of infantryl, of 9 regiments of cavalry, 154 pupils of the musical school of the arms and the perfimmets on M. SAX'S gigantic instruments in the Ju f Errant, made a body o f more than 1,500 musi cians. It is difficult to for m an idea of the effect fpro duced by so numerous a band. As it had been decided that the mass for the ceremony should be but of short duration, as brief, in fact, as used to be the St. Hubert', of old, the parts performed by the bands were ()sly was this last piece, giving, as it did, - more scope for th e three- =the 'the .Kyrie, the Salutarts, and the SOW: . . 501 11 ; resources of military music, which produced the greatest ,ese2p4esrf.C7enscts..;closeordciat 70f. 7()f effect.

Although the extent ~ e tectent gold discoveries importance oft t , ea in Caltfbrnia and Australia .cann. t- be' t.es , nor the various projected cpterprises for their development be -undervalued, yet Wbili i capitalists and others are seeking profitable returns from the transmarine investments which now, aysorb so much of public attention, the attainment of the same lucrative results from mining •enterprise• within out own shores should not be overlooked; more especially as the employment and enoouragen.ent which, in'the one case. arc furnished to the alien, would, in tab•other, be t iyen to na tive industry. • Encouragement to native mining industry has hitherto, except in same isolated instances, been Confined to the staple mineral re sources of Great BrP ain, much as copper, lead, iron, and 'coal ;.but therel's now an opportunlty of profitably applying it to the produc tion of the precious metals, especially go d, within a limited distance of the metrop• lis, where it is found in as pare a State and in de- POsits, apparently, as rich as in either of the two modern - Dorados. When Sir Roderick Murchison first nought and r the notice of the Royal Geographical Society the existence of geld deposits in Anat., trails, hewas seemly - heeded ; hnd, in deference to public impres sion, the greatest care has bees taken to verify ,the facts in the in stance of the present discoveries. The Britannia Mine is the . property of Lord Poltimore, and is situate about seven miles north of South Melton, towards Exmoor, on the banks of the Mole. •• • _ The nature of the country is Killas, Which is so congenial to the production of metal, and the immediate vicinity of the mine has been more- affected by volcanic action than is usual in similar positions in Devon and Cornwall. The locality indisputably possesses all the geological conditions requisite for the existence of gold, the forma tion being strictly of the Palmozoic group, in which • alone, and.the igneous rocks associated with them, is gold ever found insufficient abundance to be reniunerative. • The geld of this Company is produced from gozzan and quartz. Several stones, out of a large quantity, equally rich, were promiscu ously taken, and the following ass vs give the results Assay Office and Laboratory, 2a, H.awley-road, Kentish-Own, London, Dec. 29, 1851. _ This is to certify that I have examined a sampel, marked "No. 3 gold." I find it contains 2708 per cent. of gold, traces of silver, oxide of iron, and earthy matters. (Signed) ' JOHN 'MITCHELL. 116,' Leadenhall-street, March Bth, 1852. I beg to certify that I purchased 152 ounces of. iron Matrix or gozzan from, the mine at North Molten, now called the Britannia (promiscuously taken froin a large quantity, which, according to my judgment, must have been worth, at least, 4001.) ; and that the same yielded in bulk about eighteen and a half per cent. of gold, 1 carat, 2 grains, above the standard, and for which • I paid at the rate •f 31. 17s. 9d. per ounce. I have likewise no hesitation in stating my belief that, from per sonal inspection of the mine, there is a large .deposit of the precious metal to be found there. (Signed) BEN TA M Ilsi MASSEY. Iu the future workings it isimpossible to say what quantity of the precious metal may be found; but c*Ough haS been ascertained to in duce the most sanguine expectations hat • the result will be highly productive awl profitable. The ore ofthe,St. John d'El Itey Mining Company, which is 0.. e of the oldest Gold. Associations, and, which has paid dividend for years, yields only about the five-hundredth part of one per cent., that is, 4 oitavas, or less than halt an ounce of gold to a ton of ore ; or say, 2001. for every 100 tons of ore. The yield of ,gold from the Ural moubtains,never excr:eied.l2o grains of gold from 0,i105., or 1% ten of earth, which is less than 4 dwts., er the fifth of an ounce, per ton ; yet the Metallic wealth of Russia is .produced from this small return, although when first discovered the mines were considered scarcely wortit working. In fact, from the mere diffe rence in the system of reduction, and the economy in 'the - Modern ap pliances generally, a return, which at a former period only en tailed a loss, will now, it is well kocrwn, yield a profit. In addition.to these extraordittary rich stones, it is fotmd that the' whole o f the gozzan is impregnated with gold, about - 300 tons of which, hitherto regarded as mere rubble. are now on surface ready to be crushed. These have been satisfactorily tested. Captain W. S. meergem, on the 22d ult.. as, will be .seen.hy the annexed report, took specimens, indiscrim inatel y , -ftbin the heaps, exposed for years to 'weather andi pilferage,: which he has had asiayed, and the exls-' tence of - the precious metal has been clearly - established. ~31-r.iongm aid, the Asmyist, and inventor and patentee of a peculiar chemical, process for the separation of metals from their matrix, has likewise assayed. some of these ,stones„, in which gold is not manifest to the nake eye, and says — This is to certify that I have examined the following samples, and find their contents as under:—,No, 1, , smalls, gold 8 oz. 6 dwts. I 4 ere.. per ton, WILLIAM LO*QMAID.- 31, Beaumont-square, London, 3d Mo. 30, 1852. The Copper, for which this mine was originally opened, being also rich to an extraordinary degree, warrants the expectation that when the workings, which are now so shallow, are carried to a greater depth, the most profitable results will ensue. Mr. Mitchell at the same period (19th of December last) likewise assayed the copper, and says— This is to certify that I have examined a sample, marked " No. 2, Copper Stone." I find that it contains 32 per cent. of copper, traces of silver, iron, sulphur, and traces of earthy matter, All the necessary machinery for mining purposes is already on the property, to which the modern appliances for the reduction of gold will of course be added. The alit is driven 81 fathoms, the engine shaft is down 10 fathoms below the edit ; the western shaft is sunk 9 fathoms ; the water-wheel is 25 feet diameter, with 34 feet breast, and the counting-houses, smiths' and carpenters' shops, material house, and all other buildings, are in good order. The water-power is unbounded, and the lent home to wheel. A fall of 200 feet can be obtained, so that there are inexpensive means available of sinking the shaft to any depth.

The length of the line 'will be 63 milts, eitenahig from Ply mouth to Truro and Falmouth, joining the-South Devon - RailiA* at Plymouth, and the West Cornwall Railway at Triiro. It reeelVed the sanction of Parliament in 1846; the works were immediately com menced ; about seven Miles etthe line were in a very_forvrard state, the land for which was purchased and paid.for, when, the Monetary w crisis of - 1847 compelled the directors to suspend the orka; 'and put an end to the contracts which had been entered into, ' The present altered Stafe of the money market, and, the greatly reduced price at which railw,AY Works are'new" being exeCl49 . d, have justified the Directors in submitting to their Shareholdera• it Sohbme for a large.redtiction in the capital of the Cornpant, and the, aban donment of branches not llkely. to yield an immediate veitirri. ;This same having received the sanction of ,the Proprietory,.

Falmouth, immediately within the Lizard, offers a safe port accessible et all times, and in all wfatherd , and Most easily protected from hostile attack. , Cornwall is well knowil throughout, the world 'for its mineral wealth, abounding as it does in mines of copper, tin; lead, iron, and t is hcouty other metals; a large proportion of the capital embarked. in these importance pf-Alag Itite to All persons obvious. undertakings is provided' byparties li s v o ln inter g ou e t st b e f d Its fisheries; *Well admit of uulimited extension,lurniala supplies to the home and foreign markets. . garden for Its early vegetable productions are evertnow sent to London, and other parts of England t and Cornwa ll will be c om e the the supply of these articles when a railway Can_ secure their 'fre quent, uninterrupted, and rapid transmiss i on . - Penzance, Falmouth, and the various watering-places along the line of the Cornwall Railway, wYll be eagerly sought, by Visitors and invalids, as soon as the railway shall be extended into, she county. The population is remarkably locomotive in its habits, and the large amount of local trafilc attracts the attention of ail persons visiting the county. - The construction of the, line involves no engineering difileultieS, or extraordinary works, : and the directors have offers from responsible con tractors to take and complete the winale of the works at the price stated in their engineers' estimates. From the experi-nee obtained in the construction ' Weal Cornwall Railway, the Directors have every reason to believe, the line will be completed considerably within these estimates. The traffic estimated at different period% and compared with that now realised ourtiffaStaith Doren line, at the eastern extremity, and toe West Cornwall at the western, warrants' the Direetors iii Stating!! their firm belief that a revenue will be realised, which will yield a high per centage on the capital to be expended. „ The landowners are very favourably disposed, and will part with the land which may be reqtdred for the line on very advantageous terms. Several large • landoamers have already 'consented to talte up the value of their land in shares. • , • The importance of the line i n a national point of ' , riot bite been rec ognised in Parliament ; and v er y recently by the Tioatury, and by the Admiralty.

Only a retail sale for chambered foreign;without any quotable alteration in value. Very little barley on the market, and no change in price ; and the same remark applies to oats of all kinds. Beans, of which our main supply is a fine quality of Egyptian, are held for more money, which makes. the sale.- rather slow. Not much of the import of linseed Comes on the market, and the business doing is consequently limited.

Palcin;ton has this day. re-: , : ceived a, : dispatch and its inclosures, ,of which the following are copies, addressed to the Right Hon. Gre,-, by Lieu tenant-General Sir.Hetiry G. W. Smith, .• camp, Blinkwater, March 17, 1852. My Lord,--4 had s the 'honour to receive on the lst inst. at King, William's Town, your L ,rdship's diapatch, No. -^ e ,,,.., of the 14th January last, intimating to me that her Majesty's . Governinent had deemed it an unavoidable duty to relieve me from my present position; that my Sovereign had ape proved of the measure, sad that my successor was: imine -diately lo leave England. At that period, however, ; uch were the peospeote" of this 'war, and se rapid the prngreiiient ` towards that sett of things which can:alone perpetuate peace (best Sh e alvehythe proclamation issued by me on the (Jell of Teliivaree - and again enclosed), that a ,senee of the duty :which has guided e me la the .service of. my Sovereign- and ,country. foe so _nteay years induced me to persevere in the., 'preparatory steps I had taken for the expuleion from certain etrooghehla within the colonv of the rebel Gaikas find Hot tentots under the wily Chief Macon, a renegade from the authoritY of his paramount Chief Sandilli • as also for ex pelling the Gaika tribes" from British Kafraria, and driving ; them, over the eireat Kei. My intention was communicated ~to your Lordship in my dispatch of the pith ult. - ' 2. I haVe the honour, therefore, to report that, on the sth .inetet moved the 12th Lancers and a large detachment cf the Cape Aloueted. Riff under Lieuteuant-Colonel Pole; tWeegetis Royal Artillery, the 6th, 60th, and four companies of the 45th Regiment, with detacnments of Hottentot and Fingoe levies, under Lieutenant-Colonel Michel; two guns Royal .Artillery, the. 434 light Idantry and 73d Regiment, and detachments of. Hottentot and Fingoe levies, under Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre, all well supplied with provisions, to the general rendezvous at Fort Beaufort, where I es etidelistued- naylfleatleeperners. - - • - 0..0a the 4th inst..Major-General ~S omerset 'bad a tritait. affair with the enemy in the Waterkloof, in which the 91st Reginient greatly distinguished itself; Lieutenant-Colonel Yarborough, of that Regiment, and Captain Brimly, of the Cape Alounted Rifles, having, however, been severely, and Ensign Hibbert, cf. the 01st, slightly wounded. The chief. eMaconio fought with great determination ; but 100 head of, cattle and - 40 horses were captured—the best criterion of . success. Subsequently to this affair such part of Major-General Somerset's division as was available for the field, consisting - of the 91st Regiment, four companies of the 74th Highlanders, the Cape Mounted Rifles, and.strong de tachments of Hottentot and Fingoe levies, was assembled at Illaddon's Ohl Post, on the western end of the low mountain range forming the Waterkloof, Blinkwater, and Fuller's Hoek ; the best position. it could occupy with reference to my in- . . tended operations. 4. Meanwhile Lientenant-Colonel Perceval, with a de tachment of Royal, Artillery and a gun, with rockets, the 12th Regiment, detachments of the 91st Regiment, Cape Mounted Rifles, and - Armstrodg'e Horse, arid 'Hottentot and Dope levies, and Burghers, had been ordered to act on the enemy's position in the Fish River Bush. The various posts of defence in the neighbourhood of my proposed scene of action, viz., Whittlesea, Eland's post, Blinkwater, and Post Retief, were at the same time strengthened for the pur pose of patrolling. • 5. On the9th inst. the troops marched to establish them selves on their respective bases of operation, as set forth in the instructions annexed; and I established my head-quar ters at the Blinkwater Post, a commanding and central position; _ 6., On the 1 0th inst. the several officers in command— ' viz„-Lieutenant-Colonels Michel, Eyre, and Napier, having well reconnoitred the strong positions held by' the rebels, ,I moved forward to the attack. The enemy. was everywhere I well prepared, and received them, especially Lieutenant- Colonel Eyre, whose column I had re i n f or ced with two addi tional guns Ad two coMpanies of the 74th from the Blink water Post,With his usual warory, and even more than corn. mon demonstrations of defiance. 7. The enemy Opposed to Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre was Well and judiciously posted in that part of the range called F Fuller's 'Sleek, very extensive and densely wooded, and ,where Macomo's "den," as they termed it, was so strongly sitriated in a deep kloof as to be regarded almost inacces sible. By the activity of Captain Faddy, of the Royal Artillery; the four , guns were, with incredible exertion, d ra gged up a precipitous ascent, judiciously posted and well served, aided by rockets. The Lieutenant-Colonel , -moved - iiporethese savages in eight small columns of attack, • and the - troops carried everything before them. Every ob stacle was speedily overcome, and a well-known and most • difficult -pass, held , stoutly by the enemy, was gallantly carried by Captain Campbell, of the 73d regiment, with a company of his own corps and two companies`of the 43d Light Infantry. The troops crowned the heights, where they burnt many-villages, destroyed some cultivation, drove the enemy before them in every direction, and bivouacked for the night. 8. On the following day, the 11th instant, Lieutenant- Colonel Eyre made the most able disposition of his troops, so as to descend the mountain and effectually dislodge the enemy from those positions which the columns had been able only to pass through on the previous day. His special object also was to assl • the den and stronghold of Macomo, i t the destruction of v. I regarded as a great step towards the humbling of the els; for although Sandilli and the Gaikas affected humility and a desire for peace, I well knew that all eyes were intent on the result of these operations. Colonel Eyre, aware of the importance I attached to this service, headed the column for the assault of the Den, the descent to which was found by the assistance of a captured woman, a flight of natural steps affording great means of de fence This column was most successful, though stoutly resisted; the Den was carried, the four guns firing into it with Sanguinary effect, and 1:30 women, now prisoners, were found stowed away in the clefts cf rock. Among them is Alacomo's young and favourite wife, as also his great wife, a Tambookie, much regarded among the tribe, and mother of his great son-Natnba. - Large quantities of European 'Wearing . apparel, provisions of different kinds, some little gunpowder, a bullet mould and enpply of lead in bars, were found in the Don, which was completely destroyed and the huts con- ' sumed , The , number • slain by our gone was very' great, _eleven having - been found in one spot and seven in another, _and many fell in the assault. Meanwhile Captain Campbell .made his way.down the difficult pass by which he had as cended the day 'before, and was again stoutly resisted by the enemy in frontand flank. Here three gallant soldiers of the 734 Regiment fell, another being at the 'same time wounded, and further.on Lieutenant the - Hon. Henry Wrote tesly, of the 43d e received 41 mortal wound. - 9. The carrying by our troops of this " Den," heretofore 'regarded as inacceasible, has had throughout the effect of magic, and no positive resistance has since been offered. Colonel Eyre continued his operations through the whole of the extensive fastnesses of the Fuller's Hoek and adjOining kloofs, but the enemy appeared no more. On the 15th inst, lie again ascended the passes, and revisited Macomo's Den, to show the enemy our determination to expel him. Not a sin gle Kafir was to be seen, and Colonel Eyre and the rest of the officers, who had then leisure for observation, describe the loss suffered by the enemy as evidently very considerable, and much greater than they had believed. It, indeed, could not well be .otherwise, exposed as he was to the fire of four well-directed guns and rockets, and so hemmed in that he necessarily suffered severely from musketry and even from the bayonet. ' . 10. On the same day, the 10th instant, Lieutenant-Colonel Michel's column moved from Blakeway's Farm, ascended the heights, the guns being with great exertion brought up an almost impracticable acclevity, and occupied the dense bush connecting Fuller's Hoek with the Waterkloof, for merly the scene of considerable conflict. Every part of this bush was well traversed, and many kraels destroyed. Few .of therebel Hottentots or Kafirs showed themselves, until Lieutenant-Colonel Napier's column, ascending the valley of the Waterkloof, entered the narrow and bushy defile which forms its head. Here he was fiercely attacked, the onset of the enemy. being, according to his usual custom, especially directed to the rear of the advancing column. This was, however, judiciously anticipated by Colonel Napier ' who advantageously posted the 91st Regiment, under Major I , Forbee, so as to resist the attack. The rebels were daring on this occasion, and well enstaitied the fight until they saw , Colonel Michel advancing, -when they gave way in every direction and fled into the dense bush to escape pursuit. 'll. Oa the folloWing (ley these two columns acted simul tsneously,•driving- the enemy before them, and destroying his. 'villages in the Waterkloof. On the third- day it was neces sary for both to procure provisions at their respective bases of operation. Col. Michel veryjudiciously took the opportunity to report himself to me; and I at the same time ascertained 'that 200 Boers of the district of' Somerset and the Kouap had -arrived at Haddon's Old Poet. • Upon this, I immediately dispatched Major-General Somerset, whom I had retained with me at head-quarters, to take the command of these , -berghersevind of Colonel Napier's column. On doing so the Major-General at• once ascended the heights overhanging •th e •Wafetkloof, b r inging up his two 'gnus by a very difficult ascent, and then proceeded to penetrate the bush w r i 3 tlt e l l t ; einfantryewhile the his mounted force watched _oP acting simultaneously w ith Colonel Inthesee Opea tions the enemy showed little resistance. On .the afternoon of the 15th hist, observing a number of the enemy in t dig session of cattle - in a deep valley, General Somerse- s slid Burgh ers, patched hie moun ted force of Gape. _Corp - under Lieutenant-Colonel Napier, in p ursuit. 130 head, and and many horses were captured, several of thereleelsslair , 'some fifty women and children made prisoners. k . e.; . a . n e 12 Oa - the 15th inet.

On the morni ng o f th e 1 15th inst. Captain Taylor,. with leis company of Hottentot levies; had a sharp affair with a party of the rebels, and cap tured 11 horses. This was the last occasion on which the enemy appeared. Colonel Michel describes Captain Taylor's company of levies as deserving the name of so ldi ers. 13. On the 10th inst. Lieuteriant-Colonel Perceval, with his column strengthened by the force assembled from Gralaini'a Mown and its neighbourhood, and aided by a few burghers of that town, attacked the strong position of the Chief Stock, in the Fish River Bush, in two divisions, under himself and Major Armstrong. These simultaneous and well-conducted movements, in a very difficult country, were completelY successful and 44er a sharp cotlict, in which m -.•
