-,~;_ "~,:.._. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. l e rdm Cape town Gaz(ttes to the 30th of July. ) ThE Ronal OP TIIE CAPE TOWN GAZETTE. MR. Berrott—Many surmises and reports laving gone abroad, relative to the Nation now approaching the frontiers of this Colony, adding, unneeessarily, to the alarm of the good people , of Cape Town and vicinity, I think it my duty to give you the best account I am in possession of respecting these strangers, particularly as I have been so repeatedly called upon for expla. nation; therefore, by your insertion of the fol. lowing, statement, you will much oblige, Sin your's, obediently, Cape Town, 22d July, 180.3. GEORGE THOMPSON " The 6 Mdntatees,' the invaders, are so called by the Bechuanas, and the other tribes to the North and East. This name, at present, we are led to suppose means Portuguese. This suppo. sition is reasonable :---the nations in the vicinity of Latta!top, (properly e "fakoon;) are aware that the Portuguese have settlements on.the Oast, and that they are white ;—they now see white people approaching from that.quarter, when they naturally conclude that they are the Portuguese; Through the assistance of Mr. Moffat, (who bas taken great pains to ascertain the truth, with regard to these invaders), and the Boralong Tribes, resident to the N.E. of Lattakoo, but now dispersed, I was enabled to collect much infor mation, and from which I am led to suppose, that the %slate People alluded to in last m:e;ektsGa zette, are the descendants of the Crew of the G rovremor Indian - mit, wrecked above 40 years ago. this conclusion, I have been favoured from the following circumstance :—When the expedition, (under Messrs. van Reenen and others,) arrived at the wreck of the Grosecnor, and found the descendants of her 'crew, together with three • European Ladies, (but, melancholy to relate, these three unfortunate individuals had forgot 'their country and their native language), they 'immediately made a great rejoicing, saying," Our • Fathers and Countrymen are come !" Now, the present invaders have been told by the Bechuanas, that if they approach the South, they will-meet ' ‘vith a powerful white people, that will soon de 'stroy them. To this they reply, " The White people are our Fathers,our Countrymen ; they will do us no injury ; they will supply our wants ; they will give its shepp and cattle." This co incides very mock with the people found in the neighbourhood of the wreck of the Grosre won Through the same informants 1 was en ubled to trace tie Mantatees to the place -where they first eOllllO4, need hostilities, viz t— ope!' the Lehayos, tt nation to the snnth•wes -of Delagoa Clay , 'making the place they have left Hamhona, near where the Grosvenor was, wrecked. Likewise, we have an ' account through, the Cafire country, in corroboration of this fact :—three individuals were taken some time bark in the Stake, from whom it appeared that a strange Nation were approaching this Co. Way, under a tradition, that the white people were their fathers, 'B4 - c., atid were thou 'standing westward; When they were repulsed by their Usighbourt the Tarnbookies, nearly 18 Months a4o, l i t was after this defeat, that the Mao tat ees left • their country far good, proceeding nearly due North, and first falling upon the Lehayos, as already mentioned, the Macqueens, Maremoot. sans, and se v.ral other tribes, carrying all before them, nnti I they reached the Wan k vets' country, about lat. 24. 30. S. long. 27. 30. E. King Mac- tabba,—this powerful and wary Chief no sooner found then (the Manta tees) in his dominions, than he promised them his friendship, and .sent them good supply of cattle, &c.; but this was only to delude these poor unfortunate wanderers : for the same evening, when the invaders had finished L bountiful rep le,and were reposing unconscious of danger, in the deep sitimbers of night', Mac bha , with all his forces fell upon them and routed them in a dreadful manner. Being thus repulsed they fled southward, and having again collected tbeir forces, they attacked several tribes, with their wonted success, laying waste the Moorotzes, BOroiongs, Tamahas or Red Cottrell, and are now approaching the Beehuana country, having the iced: Caine King a prisoner, and n guide by com. pulsion. And, us stated in last week's Gazelle, it is their intention to approach the South. " The Bechuanas were, previous to my lenvingi ,joined by the Griquas, who will no doubt astonish the invaders, being mounted on horses, with mus kets. in all probability, they will be as much surprised as the Peruvians were when the Spa niards first appeared in their country. The Beck- u'anas fight with poisoned arrows. expeditio will be accompanied by Messrs. Moffat and A/Ovine, who are eager to unravel the history of these curious strangers, an object devoutly to be wished ;—for who knows how near we are connected by the ties of countrymen to these people. They seem to have made no plan for retreat,—nor do they seem to be aware of the consequences of plundering ; they never attack when the property can be procured ; —they express their astonishment at being at. tucked, and seem to suppose that they must be supplied with provisions gratis, on an unknown journey. When attacked, they fight furiously, rushing on, sword in bend, with great courage. --Sometimes they urn driven on by the keenest stimulant, viz. hunger : It is then that they rush like the hungry Hyena, lighting with one baud and devouring with the other. They are Cannibals, I fear ; but this is through neces. sity : How often are Europeans driven to this dreadful resource—companion devouring corn. panion. The Nations they have lately approach. std, have generally lied, leaving nothing behind them for the subsistence of the invaders. It is on such occasions, no clobut, that under a strong desire for food, the slain are only devoured ; but I trust that the prisoners meet a better fate, not bating ascertained that any had been killed after the engagement. From these circumstances I din led to suppose, that the Mantatees, or In vaders, are composed of different nations, part the descendants of time before-mentioned ship,; these having the tradition respecting their Fa. dice s, have set otr with the intention of finding them, like' Telemachus in quest of Ulysses; but very inconsuteratcly, with their wives chit. dren,and in the company of a host of savages. " It is very probable, that the revolution in the vicinity of Delagoa Bay,meationed by Capt. Owen, is caused by the same people. We may shortly expect to hear their farther bistdt7 from Messrs. Moffat and Melville, who, I am -well aware, will spare no pains to effect that object." 4, Port Praya, m,Az g o, tapc de' Verd /Wan& "In the night:Of the 22d April, the British schooner Swift, Captain Honey, of sierra heonee, at anchor in this port, was boarded by about twenty, soldiers of the garrison, and some re neged° French sailors, and taken out of the harbour, without being discovered from any of the batteries, and it is s upp o s e d has gone on a piratical cruise, as she is without papers to pro. tect her. Captain H. was at the time on shore. 'rhe rnate and all the crew, together with a young man from Boston (United States), were all on board, and It is supposed the latter and the mate, with such of the crew as refused to join them have been murdered. BRAZIL. MARANHAM, JULY 21. On the 11th inst. three Portuguese ships ar rived here from Lisbon with accounts of the dis solution of the Cortes, and of the Royal party having once more got into power. These advices caused a great sensation amongst the Constitu tionalists here, and it was determined on declar ing foe independence on the 14th, on which day the greater part of the respectable inhabitants met, with every prospect of the ceremony being got over without the least opposition, and a new Government appointed, to have been composed entirely of Brazilians. They had but just got together, and were proceeding in the necessary arrangements, when eight Portuguese vessels ap peared off the port, consisting of a ship, a brig, a schooner, and five sumacas ; and it was soon known that they were from Bahia, and that Madeira, from the want of provi.ions, had been necessitated to abandon the said city ; the Junta consequently broke up without accomplishing the object of their meeting. The vessels arrived, when it was ascertained that they only brought about 200 soldiers. It was, however, reported that vessels, with from 2.,000 to 3,000 men, had been ordered to proceed 'to this port. This, be pleased to observe, occurred on the 14th instant, and Madeira, with his troops and upwards of 100 sail of shipping, left Bahia on the 241 instant, and up to this date no more vessels have arrived here with troops ; and it is now the current opinion that no more are coming, and that Ma deira has proceeded with them to Portugal ; and negociations are again going forward here, with a view to accommodate matters with the Brazilians; and by the first direct conveyance we trust that it will be in our power to acquaint you of the communication with the, interior having been opened. Two of our principal merchants are to proceed to Itupicarn to-morrow morning, to ar range matters with the Brazilians. BAYONNE INTELLIGENCE. BAYONNE, SE!►T. 30.--Thongh the disorder nt Passages makes no progress, and this is, in such case*, a sign of diMinution, we are obliged to eonfess that the suburb of St. Pierre, which is on .The :other tide of the Bay, has just been attacked. There Would be considerable reason to be alarmed, but happily the rainy season has commenced, anti this will be the most efficacious check to the progress of the contagion. Four vessels arrived in our river yesderday, which came from Santona ; they have on hoard sixty-three Spaniards, who are put under quarantine. It is not yet decided what is to be done with four or five hun dred patients, ill of typhus fever,who are now in the hospital of St. Sebastian, and are to leave hat place on the 11; as wall aS the rest of the garrison, which is :o come to France as pri soners of war. It was proposed to put them in the Lazaretto at llehobia, but it is not large enough ; there was also a notion of encamping them, hut it scents that the bad weather Will be an obstacle. Patients continue to arrive at the military hospital here ; 125 were brought yesterday from St. Jean de Luz. It appears that the plan of sending the sick from Spain will be continued to be acted .upon,. It is affirmed that the garrison of St. Sebastian has conducted itself better than that of I'ampeluna, inasmuch as its provisions were quite consumed. The means of attack collecting :heiCre Cadiz are immense; besides drawing front Andalusia whatever may be useful, every thing has been sent from CAnunna that can be employed in this important siege. The vessels which conveyed the five companies of artillery front Bayonne arrived safely at Port St. Mary's on the 20th. We learn from Orthes, that the prisoners from Panipeluna • have met with a very good reception there front all the inha bitants. We learn from Madrid that the Regency has issued a Decree, prohibiting the Journals fl.om publishing any news, even offi cial, till it has appeared in the Gazette of Madrid, which is something like the Moniteur. The Board, called the • " Junta of Pacification," has laid its opinion before the Regency, that it may decide on the fate of chose persons holding public employments, to • whom the Decree of the 231 July last cannot be applied. These are— " 1. Those who have not made part of the militia, or who have left it. " 2. Those who made part of It from fear of losing the employments from which they derived their subsistence. ,l. Those who joined it to avoid the requisitions, if they have not since taken any part in the popular tumults." Madrid seems calm ; but there are ninny discontented per sons. The arrests continue ; they are explained by the facility with which the arrested get out of prison, on payment of a aunt larger or smaller, according to circumstances, but n e v er less than 1,000 reels. It is a new kind of contribution. It ie reported that the garrison of Ciudad Rodrigo has offered to recognise the Regency, on condition that they should be allowed still to guard the place, as at Corunna. The fort of , Pena~ de Ban Pedro capitulated on the 10th. The garrison is to be sent as.prisoners at war to Urganda. Accounts from Xeres at' the 10th say, that the Duke del In fantado and M. Saes had been stopped and plundered while on a promenetle. The robbers, who were five in number, did not do them any personal injury. The Restourador contains a very curious article relative to Ilallamteros ; after having said that it is only to the late events that he owes the continuetion of the military convention, it pretende that papers have been found which prove a culpable correspondence of that General with Carandelet and Domingo A quilera, the latter of whom recruits for the Constitutionalists, and endeavours to raise the whole province of Jaen ; 300 volun teers marching out of Uheda cried " Riego for ever! Liberty for ever !" The 'journalial cOnchitles by • saying, that he knows more about it than can be said. • There is a report of an Extraordinary Sitting of the Cortes, in which the question of removing the King and the Royal Family was discussed. It is said that it was proposed to send him to the Canaries, and that another proposal was to trend him to Barcelona, which, besides its strength, is in a country that can be depended upon. The Constitutional squadron is commanded by Don Capaz. ' Quiroga ha* taken the command of some battalions which have vowed to devote themselves to death rather than surrender. At Aladin'', however, the belief of an amicable arrangement and a speedy termination of the war, still prevails, for orders have 'been given for the departure of .his Majesty's equipages for Seville. A French brigade is said to be sent towards Placentia, to which ft is added, that the troops of O'Donnell are gone against the Enipecinittio, who appears to be in force in, that province. Riego has been delivered up to the Spanish Regency, by order of the Major-Oeneral. On the 24th, 7'e Delon was performed in all the churches of Madrid. 31any officers of artillery and engineers continue to pass through here, going post to Andalusia. All the artillery, and almost all the officers and troops employed in the siege of Pam peluna, are to be present at the attack on Lerida. We have no further intelligence respecting the important subject of the Duke of Amoou tames mysterious Telegraphic Dispatches. No thing more than mere• conjecture, therefore, can as yet .be offered 1 . 4 pet: ting an occurrence which certainly seems to he one of the most curious and extraordinary in modern history. The two sentences written by the Duke of ANGOULEME might seem to furnish scarcely aiingle topic for speculation ; but yet, brief and scanty as the materials are, it is possible to. frame from them a variety of opinions, each of :which presents an appearance of probability,.hoWever inconsistent it may be with the rest. We yesterday sub milted to our Readers a few of the reflections which the first -perusal of the second Dispatch suggested. After more mature deliberation, we now venture to surmise, that .the Duke of Am . oput,Estr may have, actually been visited at Port St. Mary by FERDINAND . , and that the breaking of of the negotiations means nothing more than the return of the Spanish Monarch to Cadiz! There is, we acknowledge, on the face of, this conjecture, something so exceedingly improbable, that it is necessary to support it by the'recapi (lllation of the circumstances on which it is founded ; and these are,- Ist. That the'Frettch accounts, for some time previous to the Duke's first Dispatch, had uni formlf:iienied the existence of any negotiation, and bad ev e n deeloted that the Prince had re fused to receive a flag of truce. Id. That the first Dispatch, dated Chicluna; Sept. 28th, (also implying by silence the absence of Bth. That the Duke of ANGOULEME may have been, and most likely has been, more explicit in his communications to the President of the Coun cil of Ministers, than the French Government has thought proper to acknowledge,—that it is scarcely possible to believe that the Duke could have omitted to state whetherFE►tDlNAxn had or had not visited hirn,---and that if he did make such a statement, there could be no motive on the pert of the French Government for suppress ing the fact that -no interview had taken ,place, whilst it is obvious, on the other band, that many and most powerful motives would induce them to conceal, as long as possible, the fact that FCRDINAND had been at liberty, and at the French head-quarters, although the war, which was professedly undertaken solely for his liberation, was still to be carried on ! Our Readers will of course attach what degree of importance they think proper to those sugges. tions, which we are well aware have no very sub stantial basis. Indeed, it has been supposed by some persons that the letter purporting to have been sent from King FERDINAND was nothing more than a hoax played off on the Prince Generalissimo, perhaps for the purpose of gaining time for the escape of FERDINAND and the Government from Cadiz, in pursuance of a design which is said to have been formed for their removal to Barcelona, or some other situation more secure than the present seat of Government. r CITY, Twelve o' c lock..—Consols opened at 831—got up to 831-i for the Money and for the Account, with little business doing. W e do not hear up to this hour of any Express having ar. rived from Paris, although a report prevails that the French Rentes have come at Ulf. 40c., but the above price cannot be relied upon. The public are very anxious for the result of the intended attack on, the Island of Leon, w hich was to have taken place on the 30th of September or the Ist of October. Should it have taken place at the above period, accounts of the result must be known tomorrow. FOUEIGN,MAIIKEL—There was a great bustle this morning in the tirticle of Poyais Bonds, and a great deal of businoss wag done in that stock. Spanish and Colombia are the only Bonds that they are doing business in. CAPE OP Goon Ilopc.--We have received this morning the Cape Town Gazette and African Advertiser to the 26th of July. In another column we have given some interesting parti. c3lars respecting the /I/antatees, or savage na. tion, whose apparent hostile approach to the European settlements has excited a considerable alarm in. the Colony. On the 24th of July the Royal Commission, empowering J.T. BIGGE, Esq. and W. M. G. COLEBROOK; Esq, to inquire into the ,state of the laws, administration, &c. &c. of the Cape of Good Hope and of the Mauritius, and the Island of Ceylon, was opened in the presence of His Excellency the Governor, in the nail or the Court of Justice at Cape Town. The Ga. zette of the 29th contains a comparative state ment of the Exports from the Cape for the years 1821 and 1822, which we shall insert to-morrow, as affording most satisfactory evidence of the rapid progress of the Colony in Commercial prosperity. WINDSOR, OCT. B.—This day his MAJESTYi attended with his usual Suite, took an airing in his phaeton, about one o'clock, in the spacious rides in the Park. We are happy to state that the King continues in the enjoyment of excellent health. The band of the Royal Fusileers attend ed and played this afternoon to the right of the royal standard. A numerous assemblage of the neighbouring nobility attended to hear them. An article from Naples, dated Sept. 16, says, The High Tribunal of the hithermost Princi pality has just condemned to death Antoine Gianuone, of Naples; Jean, of Orta ; Clement Pruta, of Salerno; Frederic Cimino, of Monte pertoso ; and Felix Tafuri, found guilty of being Members of the Carbonari, and of having worn the tri-coloured cockade on the 17th of June, 1820, and of having conspired against the Go. , vermnent. The Court declared th em exc l u d e d from the amnesty of th e 28th of Sept. 1822, they were executed on the 12th inst." The DGelleSS of GLOUCESTER arrived in town yesterday from Bagshot, paid a visit to the Prin. CPSS AUGUSTA, and returned to Bagshot in the afternoon. Last night the Duchess of KENT, accompanied by the Prince of_LtusEttvoEN,. honoured Covent- Garden Theatre with her. presence: • 'There is now iu the windows of most of the priest-shops, a view of Botany Bay, on a large scale. Its woods, and mountains, and lakes, to y nothing of several ranges of handsome build ings), give it altogether so inviting au aspect, that there is some reason to fear that very ardent lovers of the picturesque may be inclined to com mit a petty larceny, in order to enjoy-a nearer view of such enchanting scenery.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has sig nified his intention of giving up Lotteries, in pre ference to any other tax ; and the Revenue of the present quarter having increased to such un extent as' to render the profit on them of no objvct to the nation, there is good reason to expect that this will be the lust time that the Rritish Public will be enabled to gain en inde pendence, by risking a Small SUM. Two out of the five days of Drawing are , now over, and yet the Wheel contains Three Prizes of Twenty Thou sand Pounds, One of Ten Thousand Pounds, Two of Two Thousand Pounds, Four of One Thousand Pounds, Seven of Five Hundred Pounds, besides numerous small Capitals. The Tickets and Shares are cheaper than for the last Fifty Lotteries at the same period of the Draw ing. The demand has been great, and there are but few Tickets on sale ; which of course will be still further reduced before the Third Day of Drawing, which is THURSDAY NEXT, the 16th instant. • Some of the ale which was distributed to the poor at Windsor, on Thursday last, to wash down the roasted ox, is said to have been some• what tart.

JONES, Esq.) held a Court of Inquiry in thiq prison; for investigating the circumstances attending the late disgraceful outrage, assault, and disciplin e o f t h e pump on Mr. Roubel. That gentleman recapit u l a t e d th e w h o l e o f hi s evidence, as deposed before L. B. ALLEN, Esq. the Magis trate of Union Hall. He produced the letter he had received from Jacobs, stating that he was recommended to apply to bin) professionady by Mrs. Pigott, which induced him to visit the Bench; and confirmed the subsequent violence and loss he had sustained. Many witnesess were examined, who corroborated his statemenuatto the assault; when, after a long and patient hearing, the following prisoners, against whom warrants had been lodged at the last examination before Mr. Allen, were committed to close confinement in the county prison in Home monger-lane, viz. Major Campbell, Captain S'chlutzer, Jacobs, and Heron. The other prisoners, Elvaston and Wright, who have " levanted," and exposed the " secrets of the prison house" in favour of Mr. Roubel, were for the present cons. witted to safe custody in the strong room over the lobby in the Bench. T. Pitman, the celebrated racket-player, who was im plicated in the charge, a nd not b e i ng a prisoner h ad ' been corn witted to Horsemonger.lane Prison by Mr. Allen, has since been admitted to bail. Last night, about 8 o'clock, the household of Lord Clam:Nunn were informed by a person posing through Stanhope-street, that the mansion was beset by thieves, and that one of the gang had been seen on the garden-wall. The do mestics went in every direction about tho Spacious building in quest of the intruders, but they were not to be " found, although this marks of their footsteps were visible amidst the plantations. It is, therefore, supposed they must have been aware they were detected, and fled immediately. It is conjectured that they intended to conceal themselves in the garden till. the establishment had retired to bed, and then lo attack the house. A ladder, and some house breaking apparatus, were left behind by the robbers. BOW•STREET--(Tors DAY).—The dri ver Of the hackney.coach No. 9 summoned a Gentle man for not paying him his fare.

That either of these inferences is equally probable ; for although it would certainly be surprising, if an interview had taken place, that the Duke should suppress all mention of it, yet it is not less surprising and unaccountable, on the contrary hypothesis, that he should omit to st►►te that the KING'S intention had been changed, and that his own previous expectation of an interview had been disappointed. 6th. That the balance of probability is turned in favour of an interview having actually taken place, by the Duke's statement that the negocia tion had been broken off ; for as it appears to be clear that there was DO. negotiation previous to the 29th, the declaration that the negociation was broken off can only be rationally explained by the presumption that FEItn►NAND did come to Port St. Mary in the character of a negotiator; and that he proposed terms to which the Duke of ANUOULEIME refused to accede. 7th. That FERDINAND'S return, under such circumsta►►ces, to Cadiz, is accounted for by sup posing that his f►►mily were held as hostages ; and that the same supposition satisfactorily ac counts both for his havi►►g proposed terms to hict► the Duke refused to accede, and for the Duke affecting to consider him as still deprived of his liberty.
