THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE MAIL

THE ALABAMA AND THE GEORGIA ONT
THE CAPE.—NUMEROUS CAPTURES.
PLYMOUTH. Ssrr. 25.

The 'Union Company's steamer Cambrian, with
the above mail, arrived here this morning. She left Table
Bay on the 20th alt., Sk Helena on the 29th alt., and
Ascension en the 2nd inst.
She brings 58 passengers and 8301. in specie.

The Cape Parliament wee prorogued on the '2Bth July.
The governor had announced his intention of summoning
the next parliament to miserable at Graham's Town. He
111111 to leave Cafe Town for Graham's Tows in the OOHS,
of a few weeks.

Great excitement prevailed at Cape lbws in sonseepteceee
of this arrangement.
A very large and influential meeting was held on the 17th
of Avert., at which • long eerier of speeches were made.
and • strong memorial to the governor ag•inet the removal
of the parliament from the metropolis of the colony
was adopted. The impression in the colony is
that Governor Wodebonee has made this change to
conciliate the eastern members and a strong party in
the house were determined to oppose him, because they
consider aU the difficulties would have been got over by the
establishment of a responsible government.
The elections for the House of Assembly take place in
November. The Legislative Conseil will not be dissolved.
The whole colony had also had another cause of great
excitement in the visit of the Confederate war steamers
Alabama and Georgia. The Alabama captured, in full sight
of those's& of the colorists, • fire Federal barque,
the Sea Bride, as she was running late Table
Bay. The Georgia was to filinexes Bay when
the Cambrian left. The Alabama had been repairing
in &ideas Bay. She than visited Table Bay sad Simon's
Bay, and was still on the oust cruising. The Confederate
cruiser Tuscaloosa, formerly the barque Conrad, captured by
the Alabama, and armed sad manned by Captain Bemuses,
had also visited 61mon's Bey. The Alabama had captured alto-
gether 56 veese/s. sad the Georgia 15. The Alabama was
visited by hundreds of oskeista who crowded ben decks
daring her stay. They were received meet cordially by her
officers, and the most kindly feeling prevailed towards Capt.
Semmes and his crew. The United Staten cooed pro-
tested against the capture of the Sea Bride, ken the
ironed that the British waters extended bathe map of an
Armstrong cannon shot from shore, and faked she deli-
very of the Tuscaloosa to himself, as the iSdaf neat of
the owners of the Conrad. He grounded his claim on the
fact that, being a prise sod sot having been condemned
by • coma of say recognised sountry, her **teases
into • British port was a violation of the Queen's proclaims-
tioe, sod that she had therefore reverted to her real owners.
The Governor decided adversely to both demands, and
spinet the decisions. The Consul formally protested in the
name of his government.

Be also complained that the original cargo of the Tom.
loose had been sold to merchants of Cape 7bws, asd that
the cargo of the Bea Bride would be disposed of is the same
measer.
