The following extract from the Gape Gaulle of the 6th September, contains some fur. tiler particulars of the incursion of a horde of savages before unkno-wn in the country adjoin. ing our settlement at the Cape. It appears that the former statement of their being accompanied by white persons, who, by a further stretch of invention were described as the descendants of . tuetrow of the Grosvenor, is wholly untrue : CAPE TOWN, SEPT. 6. The Information received from Mr. , George Thomp s o n h as been completely con fi rme d by a letter from Mr. Melville (dated Griqua Town, 21st of Jules; with the exception of .the statement received by Mr. Moffatt, of the invading tribes being accompanied by white people in European dresses. ,It appears that the Commando of Griquas, consisting of about ninety men, with tnnakets and horses, and accom panied by Messrs. Melville and Moffatt, left •riqua Town on the 21st of June. On arriving at liururnan, they were joined by a pa r ty o f B ec h uanaa; they then proceeded to within six miles of Old Lattakoo, where they found the enemy esta blished, having , defeated the Bechuanas under the Chief Ma homa_peele. After h av i ng i n va i n endeavoured to establish a .friendly communication with the invaders, an engagement was commenced by the Mantatees. After several hours' fighting, the invaders were defeat e d, l eav i ng a b out 400 men killed.— Many women and children were left behind, who, we are con cerned to state, were inhumanly and indiscriminately massa cred or mutilated by the Beenuanas . (who joined In the pursuit), notwithstanding the utmost exertions on the part of Messrs. 31offatt and Melville to prevent them. A subsequent letter from Mr. Melville, of the 31st of Jtily, states that tie has rece i ve d a report of " hundreds beitip; at O tt( Lattakoo, and on the rond to New Lattakoo, as well as at No kenning, a place 13 miles to the east of Old Lattakoo; and that for want of food, they were living upon one another!-- Nearly 100 were rescued after the battle, and distributed among the Griquas, with the exception of 13, sent to Graaff-Reynet. Mr. Melville earnestly solicits the interference of the Co lonial Government, to save these unfortunate wretches from the most appalling of all deaths ; and, we doubt not, ,it will afford every assistance that the dictates of humanity can suggest.

We have just received a letter from Calais which relates the following shocking event " About three months ago, a young woman was found murdered in her cottage at Cassel, her brains beat out with a hammer, which was found near the body. As she never had been known to have quarrelled with any person in the town, and her wretched poverty excluding the idea that it was done for plunder, suspicion fell upon an idiot brother residing with her, who was arrested and thrown into prison, where he has remained ever since. His trial was to have taken place next week. It happened in this as it very often does in I such cases, that the guilty person by some unac. countable incident should betray himself. One of the Judges on his rou t e to C assel, stopping to bait his horse at a little public-house, about a league from it, j o i ne d a number of people (most of them of the lower order) in the common room, (this in France is thought nothing of, where equality is the order of the day), the late murder and expected trial, was the subject of conversa tion when he entered, one of the party was describing the situation the poor woman was found in, when the ostler care in to say the horse was ready ; some exclamation which escaped him on hearing the horrid picture the person was drawing, induced the Judge to have him arrest ed. The following morning he was brought up and charged with the murder, he denied it firmly ; the Judge told him it was useless to do so, that he had been seen, " seen, says the ostler, losing all presence of mind, that could not be, for I had bolted the door, and no person, I am certain, was in the cottage ;" on recovering from Ms stupor, and finding further denial useless, as he had con demned himself, he confessed being the mur derer. The strangest part of the story is that the wretched man does not appear to have had any motive whatever for committing the crime;, ho went into the hut in passing for a draught of water; the deceased got up to give it to him, when the sight of the hammer suspended over the chimney, struck him with the idea that he ought to murder her ; he immediately bolted the door, snatched down the hammer, and as the poor woman raised her head from the pail she was getting the water from, to see what occasioned the noise", struck her a violent blow on the emple, which killed her, as she never utterer! ,he slightest groan, then repeated his blows until the licit' was literary beaten to pieces, drank the water and walked home to the public-house above mentioned, and that he had never thought of it since, until hearing the peasant relate thv affair in the way which he did, the enormity of WI crime appeared to him." FRIENDS or Pool' ORPHAN CATHOLIC CHIL. DREN.—Yesterday evening the Anniversary of this Institution, for Clothing, Educating, and Protecting Poor Orphan Catholic Children, was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, where a nume. roue and respectable attendance took place; the R ev .

We consider it important to mention to you . for the information of our commercial friends in general, that the conduct of the Spaniards during their stay with us was very contrary to what we expected, anti indeed what we were led to believe, in consequence of the assurances made by Gene. ral Camerae, the Spanish Chief, to C aptain Prescott, of' his Majesty' s ship Aurora—viz. that all British persons and pro perty would be respected, and which assurance was verbally given by the General to Captain Prescott, the day on which he entered Lima, and afterwards in writing. It Ives iNnerall supposed, th at i n consequence of this assurance he (entente)y would respect British property wherever he found it; but con trail, to, and in direct opposition to said assurance, confiscated British property which was in the Custom-house warehouses tin bond) to a very considerable amount, and after taking such goods as were calculated to supply the wants of his army, he sold to the merchants who came down with him from the Sierra and . Intermedios, as many goods as they had the means to carry off with them ; and as he had no mules to convey what remained, eventually, on a representation of the British mer chants, issued an order that those which had goods in the Cus totn.house might receive what remained on paying to them a dui of4o per cent. We sincerely hope that our Government at home will take notice of this, and that our countrymen may be enabled to re cover of the Spanish Government the amount of the property confiscated. Rive Aguero, the President of Peru, fled to Truxillo from Callao, accompanied by several members of the Congress : his first act was to deny the authority of the right of the Congr!sa to, controul him in any measure which he thought might be conducive to the welfare of Peru, and iintnedietely issued an order or decree dismissing the Congress, and actually irnpri- I zoned several members of it ; he then formed a Senate of 12, of his own choosing, and placed himself at their head—banishtil seven members of the Congress, and shipped them on b oar d o f a vessel for the I nterinedios ; but their provisions getting scarce, obliged them . to put into a small port between Truxillo an d Callao for a supply, w h en they made their escape, and arrived here on the l st inst. They have s i nce re-established the Con gress, and have declared Rive Aguero and all his followers traitors to the state; and it Is reported he is marching u G pon Lima at the heed o f 3 ,000 men, to_ place himself of the o. vernment. The Marquis of Torre Tagle is now Governor of Lima, AUGUST 2./.—By accounts from Arica, it appears that Santa Cruz broke up hi s camp at 3loquehera.on the ap pears ultimo, anti was proceeding with his army in two divisions toward La Paz. The Spaniards had left the city of Arequipa!, and Don Porto Carrero, a Patriot chief, held command' of the place. The Patriotic army, under Santa Cruz, had passed on front that city in their advance upon La Par, one divison occupy ing the Desagu a d ero , t h e other the district of Puna. Don Lenses, a Patriot leader, with about 2,000 men, was await ing_the arrival of Ge nera l S anta Cruz, at or near La Paz. The two expeditio ns w hi c h sailed from here a short time back under General Sucre and Colonel Miller, had arrived in the In termed los, and were alto advancing to support Santa Cruz. Camerae, who was by our former accounts at lea with his division and that of Loriga, had retreated by the Cordilleras for Humanga, but both divisions have suffered severely by .the attacks of the mountancror (mountaineers) during their retre at . After passing the Sierr a , C anterae was concentrating his forces, so that a very littl e t i me will elapie before something decisive will be accomplished. Atm UST 22.—The independent forces amount to ten thou. sand men, Colombians and Peruvians, and they are, in daily expectation of reinforcemerits from Chile to the number of three . thousand. They are commanded by Generals Sucre and Sante Cruz, who distinguished themselves at Quito; and, by our brave countryman, General Miller, who has distinguished himself every where. The Spanish forces, under the commend of Generals Canterac and Baldez, amounted to nine thousand men, of whom not above six hundred ate Buropeans. The rest ure Indians pressed into the service, and lighting to con tinue the slaves they were originally made by the Spaniards. The Viceroy has his seat of Government at Cuzco, which, as It was the original capital of the Incas, seems destined to be the last hold of their invaders. There can be but little doubt but that Laserna (the Viceroy) is destined to lay down the sceptre where Pizarro took it up. General Bolivar is expected here, ellort4, and will take upon himself the direction, of the ,campaign. In the mean time the Patriots have every possible advantage not only of p os i t i on, while their enemy is yet contending with the difficulty of his much back from Lima, but in the tsar more important point of diffusing-their Sehtireents and spreadingtheir spirit among the inhabitants of the interior, who have been hitherto in subjection to the Spaniards. The scene of military action will,extend from Cuzco to Po. tosi. Upon the latter place a division of the Patriot army is marching under General Santa Cruz; upon the former one under Generals Sucre, and .hiller; while t h e Independent General Genuine ieinveating Arequim The Patriot Army of Reserve, about 4;000 strong, occupies just now Lirna and 'Truxillo; but it is to unite shortly to ill murch u fiprst on the impertant province of Xataite Operating, the place, a diversion there in favour of the main body, it is in the next to straiten and confine the Royelist positions of Cuzco anti Manning:, and open for a Lima com munication to it th e most ili ir rta nt Of oil others, with the finneus mines of Pasco. Is' itii tolerable management things must t erm i nate, and terminate soon, f avourably for the ameaoosneaefthinetlAepneelntnna themselves,ce.T The only of thing to be feared is which w e h ave had somedivision late unpleasant instances here.

Of the numerous works fOr young people, which commonly make their appearance at this festatseasOn, we have seen few that have given us-greater pleasure than the Malian Tales. They consist of Tales of Humour, Gallantry, and Ro mance, translated from the Italian, and the Editor has performed a grateful office in weeding the Italian Novel of its pruriency, and giving the public a selection of this class which will not offend, while it createslaughter,nor pollute while it amuses. There are sixteen admirable designs by GEORGE CRUI CKSHA ; and had we not previously pos. cc seised that Artist's clever performances, the . Ge 17121471 Stories," and the " Points of flu mour,",we should certainly have given him cre dit for a rapid advance and Improvement in his drawings, which, set thick in this: handsomely printed (though low priced) volume, are truly beautiful. The Tales. are.seventeen in number, and the titl es are Th e Teacher Taught ; the Un. expected Reply; Who I ? The Dead Rider; The Skilful Physician; The Pomegranate Seed; The Fatal Mistake; The Dead Ali ve ; The False Cha m pi on.; The Merchant of Venice ; A Skeleton in every House; The Elopement ; The Friar Entrapped; Antonio and Veronica ; Bel pliagor, or Domestic Happiness; The Sleeping Drought ; The Counterparts. We select one as a specimen of the translation, it is a pretty moral lesson, and its shortness an s wers our purpose best. " There was at, Naples a lady of the, name of Corsina, horn at . Capovana, and wife of a noble cavalier, whose name was Messer Ramotido de' Balzo. At happened, after some years, that heaven was leased to deprive this lady of her husband, and she was left a widow, with an only son, whose name was Carlo. This youth possessing all the excellent qualities anil endowments of his father, became the mother's idol and only care. She be thought herself, that it would be greatly to, his advantage to seed, him to Bologna, to pursue his studies, in order that he might hereafter become great man. Having made up his mind to this, she gave him a, tutor, provided him with books, and every thing that could make him comforta ble, and sent him away with a tender mother's blessing. There for several years she maintained lam with every comfort he could wish. The youth, having every, advantage, Unproved great. ly, and became an excellent scholar, and by his gentlemanlike manners, correct conduct, and great talents, had gained the affection of all his fellow collegians. It happened, that having be. come, after some years, a doctor In law, and being nearly on the eve of his return to Naples, be was taken seriously ill, whereupon all the best phy sicians of Bologna anxiously endeavoured to save his life, but had no hopes of success. Carlo, per ceiving he was a lost man, said to himself, I do not care so much for myself, as for my poor, dear mother, who will no longer have a son, for whom she has sacrificed her all, and who, she expected, would become her consolation, who might 'form Mile great alliance, and thereby restore our family name. Now if she hears lam dead, and has not the comfort of seeing me once again, she will assuredly die with excessive grief. This reflection, more , than the loss of his own life, overwhelmed him with sorrow. This thought, ever uppermost in his mind, suggested the idea to him of contriving some means to prevent his, mother from being overpowered by her grief; he therefore im mediately wrote to her in the following words 64 My dearest mother, I do intreat that you would be kind enough to get me a shirt made by the most beautiful and the most happy Lady you can find in Naples, she who is mo..t free from the cares or sorrows of this. world." The letter being dis patched, and coming to band, the mother im►ne dietely considered of the means of the satisfying this request, and how she could find one; she inquired among all her acquaintanses where she could meet such am, unconcerned, and in different, and easy minded woman ; but the task was arduous; yet she was determined to do her son's will. The Lady, however, searched to such effect, that she at last found one, who appeared so cheerful, so beautiful, no happy, and so unconcerned, that she seemed incapable of feeling a single unpleasant thought. Madame Corsina, fancying she had found the very person she was in search or,. went to the lady, who re. ceived her very politely. Madame► Corsina said 40 her, 46 Can you guess what I am come for ? it is because looking upon you as the most cheer, ful lady in Naples, and 'the freest from painful thoughts or troubles; I wish to ask you a very great favour, that is, that you would make a shirt for me with your own hands, that I may send it to my son, who has earnestly intreat. ed me to get it made by such a one as your self." The young lady answered, " You say you consider me the most cheerful young woman in Naples." 44 Yes," said Madame Corsina. " Now," added the lady, " I will prove to you it is quite the reverse, and that there never was born, perhaps, a more unfortu nate woman than myself, or who has more sor rows and heavy afflictions, and that you may be convinced of this," said she, " come with me;" and, taking her hand, she led her into an inner chamber, where, drawing aside a curtain, she pointed to a skeleton which was hanging from a beam : upon which Madame Corsina exclaimed, cc Oh, heavens! what means this ?" Th e y oung lady mournfully sighed, then said, 64 This was a most worthy youth, who was in love with me ; my husband finding him with me, caused him directly to be hullos you see ; and to increase ...: 411 M1101tG11,, Dm. 4.—Yesterdarafternoon a *Mlle meeting *is -held in the Waterloo Wrest), called for the purpose of entering into a subscription to eniCt a ,bona. went to the memory of the late Earl of HoorToure.
