Mr. Nicholls, 46, Moorgat&street, London. In the River Scheldt, between the towns of Bergen op Zoom - and Antwerp, there exist on both sides of the river large tracts of land to the extent of several miles. which at high water aro covered by the sea, and at low water present a varying surface of ;several feet in depth , of the richest alluvial soil, which is rapidly increasing by the daily action of the tides. To reclaim and dispose of this valuable land is the object of this Company. • . ' The necessary poBrers for this purpoSe have been grafited by a con 'cession ftordthe King of the Netherlands for the term of 99 years, commencing from August., 1851. ; The concession provides that in a • alatine,betweept two given lines tiae Company May recover and enclose land to the extent. of abotit 35;000 acres. - •• The extretne importance of this undertaking attracted-the atten tion or the Emperor Napoleon, and a barrier nearly identical in situ ation .• • and purpose with that intended by the, present Company wag planned by him, but the decline of the empire ,prevented the caeca ' : tion of the project. -'"•• • - The adequacy of the proposed works to the t olteMplated result" kat been investiga ed by Sir John Rennie, the Engineer ef the Com pany, whose'report will be found annexed, The matter has likewise been examined by Mr. A. Greve, the engineer of the Wateratraat •in Holland , under t h e authorit y of ' he •, nri'k .-. Mini ter of the Interior ;by Mr. Joseph Locke and Mr. George • Rennie, of Lonclea ; and Mons. Tnemnaen, o' Zealand, at the re quest of the . rom:*te:s of the Company: and reports have been made by each of these gentlemen of a highly favou , a le cnara?,ter. These reports may be teen - at the offices cf the Company. Contracts have been entered in' o with responible English con tractors for he exe. utioa of the work , at such prices as will secure the reclamation ef tae lard at about 201 per acre. -The works will be commen: at, once, and it is confidently ex- Pected that 4,000 acres will be ready for sale cr can't: Wan during the preient year ; in 1853 a further extent of about 5,000 acres on the Bergen op Zcorn side of t• e ri , er will be similarly enclose i ; at later periods, successive portions of about 2,500 acres will b 3 an smelly enclosed, until the reclamation of the entire 35,000 acres sisal]. have been completed. In no part of Holland . . are the alluvial deposits found to be of so rich and so wettable a quality as in this:provtned of Zealand; and ikis affirmed With certainty that such lands will bear crops for 20 years in succession, without the application of manure. - In the immediate neighbourhood of the intended reclamation, and close to the small town of Bath, a considerable amount of land has • been acquired by a similar process , a nd cannot now be purchased at 701. per acre. • Alluvial land of precisely the same deScrietion as that conceded to the Company, situated at Saeftingen, on the borders of the Western Scheldt, was lately sold by auction in Zealand by order of the Dutch Government, and realised about 501. p er acre, subject to the addi tional charge of constructing the necessary banks or dykes (estimated at 101. per acre), making the price in reality at least GO/. per acre; Various proprietors of lands on the borders of the Western Scheldt, whose lauds are worked by themselves, are now receiving a net revenue of V: per acre. The expenditure u) to the pe led, and inclusive of the first recla - Matto: , of 7,500 acres, will not exceed 150,000/.,- and it is exp?cted that an amount of property will la , ther.sby - acquired sufficient to indemnify the shareholders for the capital then advanced, and leave, 'is. a large balance for the prosecution ef the remaining works. • , The subsequent reclamation of the remaining • 27,500 acres,' ex - - • tending over a period, of ten Or twelve years, will furnish the means ef division of a large bonus from 'time to time among the share , hol - • Out of the net profits of the Company a dividend at the rate of 5 Percent, per annum will be paid to the ,shareholders on the capital • S a Peuded , and the residue will be' applied to, th redemption of the capital,.andtb a division in the" shape of bonus in the folloiving Manlier, 'viz.: 4-6 to the shareholders, 2-6 to the pro reoter'i and to the concessionaire, who has a eded his rights to the Present Company.

REPORT OF SIR JOHN RENNIE, P.R.& London, 14th April, 1852. Gentlemene,At your request I have examined the district of land, concede& by the Dutch Government to Mr. Dirk Dronkers, of • Middleburg,' comprising an extent of about 35,000 acres now co vered at spring tides. The feasibility of reclaiming this valnaVe district attract ed ed to the nobe - tice of the Emperor Napoleon , a nd a company was propos formed for that purpose. In 1846 Mr. Rennie saw it, and the idea equally struck him, and he reported accordingly. Mr. Locke, also, • - has made a repert to a similar effect, in fact the perfect practicabi lity of the measure cannot be doubted, and the only questions to be considered are— ht. The cost of reclamation. • 2d. The value of the land when reclaimed. With regard to the first. The expense of reclaiming the landmay • „ 'be divided into two parts, viz , the works of the canal and barrier, And the additional sum required to gain the land. \ . I consider the expense of toesiming the land, - including the canal and barrier, will amount to about 201. per acre. And if the land be • ".'f sold as recovered, and the proceeds applied to further reclamation!, probably only one-half of the proposed capital o f 50^ 000/ w ill e ver , . be called up. With regard to the second. It appears from the report of com petent authorities, that the land when recla med will be extremely valuable, and may be cultivated so as produce a profit of up wards of 6/. per acre English per at.num ; 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 16th March last, at a pub lic, sale at Uulst, in Zealand, by order of the Dutch Government. some unreclaimed lands similar to those conceded to the Company :were sold for 501. per acre, and if to this be added the cost of ern bankrnent the price would be eO/. per acre. •• Assuming, therefore, the value of the lands of the Company, when reclaimed, viz , 35,000 acres, at 601. per acre. the whole would be ' worth 2,100,000/. Now it appears that there are 7,500 acres fit for immediate recla m ation, which may be commenced and carried on • simultaneously with the canal. 4,000 acres of thhquantity may be gained this season at a cost of 150,0001., 'including the works of the canal to that period. The 4,000 acres taken at 601. per acre would be 240,0001.; and if more land can be-reclaimed this season, which is not improbable, the amount will be proportionably increased. Next sea son a similar amount of land may be obtained with a like result ; and --' • At each succeeding year an additional quantity of laud would be reclaimed until the whole quantity concede i has been completed. • Supposing, however, the land not to be sold, but to be cultivated for the benefit of the Company, then, taking the net profit of 6/. per acre according to the Flemish valuation, there would be a revenue of 2i0,0001s per annum ; and, unlike many other enterprises, the return • wotild commence when only one-third of the_ capital has been • expended. Making every allowance, therefore, for contingencies, it *PPears that there is just ground for expecting a profitable return on the capital ' • i, '4 _ 1 , • 4 ' ~r. ~~' - I am, gentlemen, your humble servant, JOHN RENNIE • To the Directors of tho Netherlands Land Enclosure Company. EMIGRATION STATISTICS. Every city, town, village, and hamlet in the kingdom now participates in an enterprising spirit of Colonial Emigration. The accounts from Australia, and other places continue to buoy np the ardent hopes of industrious ale -nturers : rich soil, healthy climates, cheap land, and valuable mines, are unquestionably advantages of the most important character. To particularise how many have al ready crossed the great ocean would be useless; every day the tide flows fkom all parts, and preparations 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 for them in far distant countries. The incredible amount of Business E. MOSES ._& SON have dispatched in the Outfitting Department, and the many years ef;-: perience they have had in preparing articles for Emigrants to every part of the world, has given them the entire pre-eminence fit the Outfitting Branch, all Emigrants should apply to E.3/10SES & SON for their Outfits—th e i r super i or i ty i s un i versa lly admitted—their suitability 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. MOSES Sc SON'S, their extensive trade in that line inducing them to keep a department in their Gigantic Establishment expressly devoted to the arrangement of Outfits for any part of the Universe. OUTFITS can be forwarded to any part of the Kingdom on re ceipt of a remittance. E. MOSES and SON supply them for 31. 155., 61. 155., 11/. Ils., and upwards. A detailed list can be had on appli cation r forwarded post-free to any p :rt of the Kingdom. r.

By the in the various bodies of cavalry crossed his- line g o r f eat vi s ion to speed, Bf a ayna slow t walk, but then galloping round as they turned the right down the field. Nothing could be more splendid than the appear a n ce of these troops; they seemed to move as a single man, and it was remarked that the heavy cavalry, the Cui rassiers and the Carbineers were exceedingly enthem as e tic in their demonstrations towards the Paean:merle the cry of " Vive rEmpereur I" being more frequent amongst them than amongst the other corps. As the pupils of St. Cyr pasted the PRESIDENT 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 into involuntary applause. The Foot Chasseurs all passed before the PRESIDENT at the Same rapid speed, their bugles in front playing, and the crowd applauding most leudly. 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 greet state, accompanied by a guard of hanour, composed of non-commissioned officers all de -corated. The band played at,the time the march from • the " Cheval de Bronze," and the whale body then passing was so soldierliko in appearance that the loudest applause burst ouffrom the crowd and continued for some time. Tea standards were, after the day's pro ceedings, placed in one of the rooms of the Emile Mill fairy>, and will be immediately forwarded to their re spective regiments. Whilst the defile of the troops was being commenced, the PRINCE PRESIDENT rode to the spot where the Arab chiefs were waiting on their horses near the grand tri bune, and spoke to them through their interpreter, stating what was about to take place. 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 awe ' of middle stature, with short black beards and white burnous. They bore their part in the cere mony with an unimpassioned indifferenee, neatly 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 striking. ' The PRINCE was dressed in the uniform of a general officer, with doeskins and large military boots, and wore the greed cordon of the Legion of Honour. He rode la front of his brilliant cortege, on a dark bay charges, which he managed with great skill. This beautiful animal, which is English bred, was bought by dm PROP. SIDENT for 300 gaioeas, and is considered by competent judges to be cheap at that price. The saddle-deb of the PRINCE was one mass of gold embroidery, turd welt befitted the noble animal which bore it, and the occa sion. The PRINCE occasionally took off his plumed hat as he passed the different regiments. There were up wards of one hundred English officers on the ground, many of them in the uniforms of the Guards. The musical mass was executed under the direction of AL Anox.pax ADAM. The effect produced by the perf,omanct of the several pieces was exceedingly Eno. ' The bands of 21 regiments of infantry ) , of 9 regiments of cavalry, 154 pupils of the musical school of the amp, and the performers on M. SAX'S gigantic instruments in the ./rtY Errat, made a body of more than 1,500 mud eiens. Lis difficult to form an idea of the effect pro duced by so numerous a band. As . it had beta decided that the naffs for the ceremony should- be bat of shut 1 duration, as brief, in fact, as used to be the St. Hubert's of old, the parts perfercaed by the bands were only three—the Krieiceet,tgheiviSnal,uatasrizt-sd, id e , nd m t o h r e e e S c a o n p c e tu fo s r . the it was this last resources of military music, which produced the greatest effect.

ABSTRACT OF PROSPECTUS. . . . in California a n d Australia' cairn_ t be q .es rite , nor the' various Alth o ugh the extent an d imp e rtance of ti l e recent gold diseceveriaB projected enterprises for their development be undervalued, yet whits': capitalists and others-are seeking profitable returns from .the ich now atsorb so much of public e same lucrative results from mining attention, the ta t v tai es i t i m ui e e n n t t s o s f vh th anterprhe within our dento should not be e.ve'rlooked, more especially as'the 'emploYand endourag6ment Which; intim one case. are furnished to the alien, would, in Vie otker, be 6 iven to na tive industry. ---- , • - , En oura.gement to native mining industry has hitherto, except in ill me isolated instances;:' been co , fined to the staple mineral re sonrces of B 1 sin,mch as Copper, lead, iron, and coal ;d uc t therels now an.opportutt.tyrof profitably applying it tO the pro tion of the precious, metals, especially go d, within a limited' istance posits,Mepi, Where It is' found in ftEi pure a state 'and in de- • psits, apparently, as rich as in either -of the two modern' Dorados. When Sir Roderick Murchison first brought und• r the notice of the Itoyal Geographical SOeiety.the..eXistetlenef Old, deposits in Aus tralia, he was scarcely heeded ; and, in deferenerio fa c p ' ts in tiblielhlnpres sion, the greatest care has been taken to verify ,tLe te 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 Adele. The nature'ef the country is Kilias, 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 geld, the forma tion being strictly of the Palaeozoic group, in which alone, and:the -igneous. rocks associated.with them, is gold ever found, in, sufficient abundance to be remunerative. , The gold' of. this Company is proluced from gozzan and quartz. Several stones, out of a large quantity, equally rich, were promiscu ously taken, and the following assays give the results : Assay Office and Laboratory, 23,Hawley..road, Kentish-town, London, Dec. 29, 1851. . . , This is to certify that I have examined a stunpel, marked "No. 3 gold." I find it contains 27'08 . 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 from 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 of 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 TAM IN MASSEY. In the future workings it is impossible to say - what-quantity of the precious metal may, be found, but e- - !nigh has been ascertained to in duce the most' sanguine expectations hat the result will be highly productive and profitable. The ore ofthe St; John d'El Rey Mining Company; which is o:.0 of the oldest Gold Associations, - and which has paid divide:nd for year', yields only about the five-hundredth part of one per cent-, that is, 4 oitavat, or less than half an ounce of gold to a ton, of ore ; or say , 2001 . for every 100 t ons of ore. The yield of gold from the 'Ural mountains;rieVer. exceeied 120 grains of gold from 4,- Cabs., Or 1% ton of earth, which is less than 4 dwts., er the fifth of an ounee, per ton ; yet the metallic wealth of, Russia is produced from this small , return, although when first discovered the :reifies were considered scarcely worth -working: -In fact, from the mere diffe rence in the•-systein of reduction, and the- economy in the; modern a . appl i ance s generally, a return, which at former period only ea tailed a loss, will now, it is well known, - yield a.proflt. • . • In addition to these extraordinary rich stones, it is found that.the whole of the gozzan is impregnated with gold, about 300 tops of which, hitherto : regarded as mere rubble, are now on surface ready to, be crushed. These have been KittsfActorily tested. 'Calitkin V.:S., Moorsom, on the 22d ult. • as will be teen by the annexed repbrt, - took specimens; indiscriminately, trona the heaps, exposed for. years to weather ancli pilferage,: which he has had assayed, and the exis tence of the precious metal has been clearly established. .31r. long maid, the Assayist, 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 naked eye, and says— This is to certify that I have examined the following saniples, l and find their ' contents -as under :—No. 1, smalls, • gold - 8 eZ 2 6 dwts. 14 gre. per ton, ... , (Signed) . WILLIAM LONG3IAID. . t 31,. Beaumont -square, London, 3d, Mo. 30, 1852. Tile 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 G9th 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 matt on the All the necessary mac hiner y for mining purposed is alr e ady property, to which the modern appliances for the reductiOn of gold will of course be added. The edit is driven 81 fathoms, the engine shaft is down 10 fathoms below the edit; the western shalt is sunk 9 fathoms ; ~the water-wheel is 25 feet diameter, with 386 feet breast, and the counting-houses, smiths' and carpenters' shops; material house, and all otker buildings, are in good order. The water-power is unbounded, and the leat home to wheel. A fail of 200;feet can be obtained, so that there are inexpensive means available of sinking the shaft to any depth.

Pakington has this day re ceived a dispatch n d itsinclosures, 'of which the following ,are copies, addressed to the Right Hon. Earl .Grey, by Lisa tenant-General Sir Henry G. W. Smith, K.G.C.B. No. 47.—Military. - Camp, Blinkwater, March 17, 1852. My Lerd,—l had the honour to receive on the let inst., at King William's Town, your Lordship's dispatch, No. 732, of the 14th Jatinary last, intimating to me that her Majesty's Government had deemed it an unavoidable duty to relieve me frornmy present position; that my Sovereign had ap. proVed of the Measiire," and that my successor was, imme diately to leave England. At that period, hovrevet, such ware the prospects of this 'war, and sie rapid the progression towards that state of things which can alone perpetuate peace (best shown by the proclamation issued by me on the Gth of February, and again enclosed), that a sense •of the- deity which - has guided me in the service, of my. Sovereign and country for so many years induced me to persevere in the preparatory steps I had taken for the exptileion from certain strongholds within the colooy of the rebel Gaikas and Hot tentots under the wily Chief Macomo, a renegade from the authbrity of his paramount Chief Sandilli; as - also for ex pelling the Greika tribes 'from British Kafraria, and driving them over the Great Kei. My intention was communicated to your Lordship in my dispatch of the 16th ult. . 2. I have the honour, therefore, to report that, on the sth inst., I moved the 12th Lancers and a large detachment of the Cape Mounted Rifles under Lieutenant-Colonel Pole; two guns Royal Artillery, the Gth, 60th, and four companies of the 45th Regiment, with detachments of Hottentot: and FingOe levies, under Lieutenant-Colonel Michel ; two guns Royal Artillery, the 43d 'Light Infantry and 73d Regiment, arid detachments of Hottentot and Fitrgoe levies, under Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre, all well supplied v.ith provisions, to the general rendezvous at Fort Beaufort, where I es tablished my headsquartera. • 3. On the 4th inst. Major-General Somerset had a „smart affair with the enemy in the Waterkloof, in which the 91st Regiment' greatly distinguished itself; Lieutenant-Colonel Yarborough, of that Regiment, and Captain Bramire • Cape Mounted Rifles, having, however, been severely, and Ensign Hibbert, of the 91st, slightly wounded. The chief Macomo fought with great determination; but 100 head of cattle and 4l horses were captured— the best criterion of success. Subiequently to this , affair such part of gajor-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 H a dd o n's Old 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 Lieutenant-Colonel Perceval, with a de tachment of Royal Artillery and a gun, with rockets, the 12th Regiment, detachnients of the 91st Regiment, Cape Mounted Rifles, and . Armstrong's Horse, and Hottentot and Fingoe levies, and Burghers, bad 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, Ban fowr kater ? and Post Retief, were at t he same time strengthened ter? a of patrolling. 5. On the 9th inst. the troops marched to establish them selves, on their respective bases of opemtion, as set forth in the instructions annexed; an d I establiihed my head-quar ter; at the Blinkwater Post, a commanding' and central position. G. Oa the 10th inst. the several officers in cemmancte -viz., Lieutenant-Colonels Michel, Eyre, and Napier, having well reconnoitred the strong positions held by the rebels, moved forward to the attack. The enemy was everywhere, well ptepared, and received them, especially Lieutenant- Colonel Eyre, whose colunin I had reinforted with two adeli. tional guns and two companies of the 71th from, the Blink water Post, with his usual evarcry, and even more than com mon demonstiations of defiance. 7. The enemy opposed to Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre' was well and judiciously posted in that part of the range called Fuller's Hoek, very extensive , and densely wooded, and where Macomo's " den," as they termed it, was so strongly 'situated 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, dragged up a precipitoua ascent, judiciously posted and well served, aided by rockets. 'flee Lieuteuant-Colonel moved upon these 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, field stoutly by the enemy, was gallantly carried by Captain Campbell, of the 7:3c1 reg:ment, 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 is 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, 5 . 3 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 assail the den and stronghold of Macomo, the destruction of which I regarded as a great step towards the humbling of the rebels; 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 se, vice, 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 stews 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 130 women, now prisoners, were found ttowed away in the clefts cf rock. Among them is Macomo's young and favourite wife, as also his great wife, a Tambookie, much regarded among the tribe, and mother of his great son Namba. Large quantities of European wearing apparel, provisions of different kinds, some little gunpowder, a bullet mould and supply of lead in bars, were found in the Den, which was completely destroyed and the huts coo !turned. The number slain by our guns was very great, 'eleven having been fouud 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 front and flepk. Here three gallant soldiers of the'73d Regiment fell, another being at the same time wounded, and further on Lieutenant the Hon. Henry Wrot:- tesly, of the 43d, received a mortal wound. , 9. The carrying by our troops of this " Den," heretofore regarded as inaccessible, 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. he again ascended the passes, and revisited Macomo's Den, to show the enemy our determination to expel him. Not a sine.. egle 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 ranch greater than they had believed. Ir, indeed, could not well be otherwise, ex posed as he was to the fire of four well-directed guns lied 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 Blekeway'e 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 the rebel Hottentots or Klass showed themselves, until' Lieutenaut-Colonel Napier's column, ascending the valley of the Waterkloef, 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 however, judiciously anticipated by Colonel Napier, who advantageously posted the 91st Regiment, under Major Forbee, so as to resist the attack. The rebels were daring on this occasion, and Well sustained the fight until they saw Colonel Michel advaricine when they gave way in every direetiotrand fled into the dense bush to escape pursuit. 11. Oa the following day these two columns acted simul taneously, 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 very judiciously took the opportunity to report himself to are; and lat the sauna time ascertained that 200 Boars of the district of Somerset and the Kouap had arrived at Haddorr's Old Post. Upon this, I imtuediately dispatched Major-General to whom I had retained - with nee at head-quarters,-ters, to take the command of these -bnrrhers, and of Colonel Napier's column. On doing BO the Major-General at once ascended the heights evCrhanging • the Watefkloof, bringing up his two guts by a very difficult ascent, and then proceeded to penetrate the bush with his infantry, while his mounted -force -watched the open, thus acting simultaneously with Colonel Michel In these opera - * a g-thenemY-showed little resistance. On ehe afternoon of the 15th inst., observing a .numbersf the en Someemy in t c i i s : sess ion of cattle in a de e p valley, General pa t c hed his mounted force of Ca p e Corps atid grid un d er Lieutenant -Colonel Napier, in.pursuit.

This day, the 17th inst., the columns of Li eu t enant- Colonels Michel and Eyre, under my immediate command, move, with five days' provisions, on the Chumie range o f the Atmßoles, for the purpose of dislodging the tribe of Tyalie and the rebel Hottentots, and then penetrating into the heart of the mountains, while I leave Major-General Somer set with his division to pursue the retreating enemy, 200 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 he assailed. 16. I deeply regret, for the credit of the frontier inhabit ants, to report that only 200 burghers from the distriet of Somerset, 200 from Cradock, and 33 from, Graham's Town, have responded to my command. They first objected to On volunteer system which I offered to their loyalty. - They tEZni requested te--be-e-erommaadted e „tek.,lna ke 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, al though they have not turned out on :this last occa sion, having been only just dismissed after a long an haras sing though successful inroad over the Upeer Kei, have done right good service during the wee. • 17. I am fully aware that I have been accused, during the progress of the campaign; of using the language of hyperbole in describing this numerous recoutres 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 me. Troops acting in the aedn, com mand, neypr the open field expect not the stimulous of prime; the sol rbchusohfangrdeartavilenngest,hathleads dier sees his foe, and his British courage iises at each step ; perhaps, ene a tr n a i t g e h d t en m s a e iysepivnw:ugint the h thihne aededis_aocni appreciatesdni te g hr and sr eifnotirrneet,tphr intrepid pi heart ea ari praise enemy, sofrt hi relinquishingbi a s s ee oo r , resolute as athletic, ready to murder any one who may fall into his hands, and whose warfare is of the most stealthy and t b per oenra renders enterprising pebr ascendw i o , 0 after, un t au or p because when his acts are conspicuously daring he is con scious he deserves it. Hedoes his duty ; but human nature mand. I will not shrink from the performance of m fmth y mti probation of his superior, which he is proud to know may reach the eye of his parents and friends. and I here record the value I attach to the indefatigable services of Major-General Somerset, whose experience cf thirty years in Kafir warfare, its difficulties and its labours, render him a most valuable, as he is a le , ghlydeservhig officer. Lieutenant-Colonel Michel, of the 6th Royal Regiment, has frequently distinguished himself. in cenernanel, and on _no (ie. cation more so than ia the recent affeir of the 15th instanty 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 b3en able on one occasion to give him , a separate command. Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre, perpetually in the field since the commencement of hostilities, has been to fie quently praised by me for his invariable success in every operation intrusted to his conduct, that what I now add enhances, end does not merely establish, his reputation. I must here record my opinion of the soldierlike and judicious manner in which he carried and cleared the stronghold of the enemy in Fuller's Hoek,- a position occupied with defiance by blecomon; and express my conviction that the wa: would remain unextinguished until that determined' chief should be, as ke has been, thoroughly dislodged and expelled. This tile been effected in a masterly manner, by the gallantry, judgment, and perseverance of Lieutenant-Cdonel Eyre. The 73d Regiment first set the example,. under my' orders, of taking the bush; they have been ever. most ••successful, aid the , ' other regiments have emulated their exertions with equal results. Lieutenant-Colonel Pole' has commanded his efficient , regiment, .the 12th Lancers, with zeal and activity. Lieutenant-Colonel . Napier, of the Caps Mounted Rifles, has frequently been 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 oil the day he was wounded. The 2d Queen's Regiment have, upon this occa sion, occupied the different forts; their services during the campaign under Lieutenant-Colonel Burns have been valuable. Lieutenant-Colonel Skipwi'h, of the 431 Light Infantry, is an officer of much promise. Lieutenant- Colonel Perceval, of the 12th Regiment, has greatly at tracted my attention by his exertions, ability, and natural talent for command. Major 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 in this army—who has not well performed his many arduous duties. 19. I fear, my Lord, that I render this a lengthy dispatch. At the wind rip of a fifteen months' campaign, desultory, it is true, but on that account and opposed as we have -bean to from 20,000 to 15 000 intrepid warriors, probably of even a more than usually arduous character, much labour will naturally have devolved upon the officers of the staff, gene ral as wall as personal. I desire to draw your Lordship's at tention tel the services of Colonel Cloete, the chief of the staff, whose unre rrittint zeal in the performance of the many duties devolving upon him has been as remarkable as the in telligenee and perfect knowledge of his profession. which he_ has invariablyeevinced. I ain deeply indebted to him, and the service equally so. Every - officer of e• the general staff m y private stary, and Captain has ably and zealo usl y done his du t y. To Lieutenant my m ilitary secretary, who have had the largest share of correspond e n ce of ever y varied character of an y mCoalyondwelenG, arvock, officers in this army, lam truly grateful. Their devotion to the public service merits every encemiam. The perseverance of these officers has greatly contributed to insure that eco nomy in the public expenditure which I haveendeavoured to enforce; and I hope with much success.' My aide-de-camps, Major Hoklich, Captain - Smith, and Lieutenant Greville, have filled their situations with great utility to me and labour to themeelves. The officers end soldiers of this army,bne and all, have un dergone continued labour and fatigue in the prosecution of a most difficult warfare, extending over a territory larger than England, with - that energy and courage conveyed by the words " Beitish soldiers."—l have, &c., H.
