LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY. Four o
Her Majesty's troop-ship Apollo, arrived at Ports-
mouth from the Cape of Good Hope, brings accounts
from that colony t'.l the 7th ult., at which date the
Kaffir war was still raging, but it was expected that
Sir Peregrine Ma:Aland would soon take some deci-
sive measures for putting an end to the struggle. The
hostile chiefs it tel proposed terms of peace, which
were declined b y the Governor, who insisted on the
terms original ly proposed —an extension of the
British bounilary, and that the Kaffirs should
surrender theix arms, and restore the herds of cattle
stolen from ',he colonists. The 73rd regiment had
marched fcr an Algoa Bay for Graham's Town, in
its progresi, to the frontier, and the 90th regiment
was still ,at the Fish River. Reinforcements were
anxiously expected from England. Colonel Hare had
arrived b t Cape Town from the scat of war. Colonel
Somerse es operations in the Keskamma had been suc-
cessful. Rear-Admiral Dacres, in the President, 50,
was er.pected from the Mauritius.
Th,., Apollo has brought home the following invalids
and 'passengers :
C. .ptain Wihxot, R.A. ; Lieut. Frye, R.A. ; the Hon. Mr.
Nr.pier, R.E. ; and Mr. Desire. From St. Helena:—Mr.
Gideon; Mrs. Hornsby and three children; and Miss
-Wraggc. From Ascension:—Lieut. Wake, of the Styx,
steam-sloop, which vessel is very sickly ; Mr. Pullen, master
of the Flying Fish, 12, which Teasel bad gone to the Bight of
Benin ; Mr. Kelland, purser of the same ship; and Mr.
Barr, assistant-surgeon of the Tortoise ; and 21 invalided
seamen and marines from the squadrons on the Cape and
Coast stations.
The Inflexible steam-sloop, Commander Hoseason, arrived
at Table Bay on the 28th of September, from England, and,
having landed Lieutenant-Colonels M'Kinson, Mont:resin
Nicholls, and Newer, and Majors Stocks, Whitens% sad
O'Grady went round to Simon's Buy to refit prior to pro-
ceeding to New Zealand, to relieve the Driver.
The Conway, 26, Captain Kelly ; the Samarang, 26, Cap-
tain Sir Edward Belsher (senior officer); the Inflexible
steam-sloop, Commander Hoseason; and the Thunderbolt
steam-sloop, Commander Boyle. were in Simon's Bay when
the Apollo left, as was the French frigate, La Oloire, 60 guns,
Captain Peter, refitting prior to sailing to relieve the French
Commodore in China.
The Madagascar, Indianian, left Table Bay the day after
the Apollo left Simon's Bay with the 31st Regiment on
board for England.
The Helena, 16, Commander Sir Cornwallis Ricketts,
Bart, had refitted and gone to the Mauritius. All well on
board .
The following, from the South African Commercial
Advertiser of Oct., 3, contains the latest from the
frontier :
" This morning a mail arrived from the head quarters of
his Excellency the Governor, near Waterloo Bay, but does
not bring any official intimation as to the terms of the dis-
patches received by his excellency from Earl Or-y. It is
confidently reported, however, that these contain the most
positive assurances of adequate support from the home go-
vernment in any measure it may be thought necessary to
adopt for bringing the present contest with the Kaffirs to a
satisfactory and final close.
"The Thunderbolt is said to bring round 15,0001. in
swie. Information has also been received from Colonel
Somerset, who, we stated last week, had moved along the
Keakamma and Beka, with a force of 1,200 men, for the pur-
pose of securing the woody ravines which border and branch
up from these streams. This operation had, it appears, been
conducted with Colonel Somerset's usual zeal and address,
the results being, up to the date of these advises, the capture
of 3,000 head of cattle and a good many horses, with the loss
of several men on the part of the enemy. Colonel Somerset
had sent for a ten days' supply of biscuit, he bring about to
move forward towards the mouth of the Buffalo, where it is
said there wax a prospect of his falling in with the treacherous
and cruel chief, Pato, it being affirmed that he was secreted in
the rugged, bushy kloofa which characterise the locality in
question.
"We received a report to-day that a few Kaffir' had been
fallen in with by Messrs. Leppan and W. Wakefield, oa the
Graham's Town road, about 20 miles this side of Somerset.
It was late at night when these Kaffirs were observed
stealthily creeping along the road, upon which Mr. Leppan
fired, but deemed it prudent immediately to retreat to the
shelter of some waggons in the rear. The next morning
part of the face, with an eye of a man, was found on the
spot, from which it would appear that one of the marauders
mast Piave been mortally wounded, and carried off by his
comrades. The footmarks of two or three other Kaffirs
were observed near the spot.
We regret to hear that, despite of all the exertions of
their field commandant, most of the Stellenbosch Burgher
levee have, under the ' general order,' broken up their en-
eampin-nt, and are on their way home. Wary PI ma, Man-
ley's Flat, and Fitchets are entirely abandoned, but there
are yet weak parties remaining at Driver's•bill, and at Fort
Decree. To the remonstrances of their commandant, the
men replied they had not been supplied with food, either for
themselves or horses, and were determined not to submit to
such privations any longer."

We yesterday announced the defeat in the north of
Porturcal, of the insurgent forces, under Sada Ban-
deira, by the Queen's troops, commanded by Baron
Canal. The engagement took place at lqurta, near
Chaves, a place surrounded for two leaves by an
open country, and well suited for the movoment of
cavalry, an arm with which Caul was well supplied,
while Bandeira, on the other hand, was utterly ruipro-
vided. Sada Bandeira appears to have been too prod-
• pitatehis advance, when the royalist gen•wal
retreated from Valongo, near Oporto. He probably
outmarched his supplies, but at all events he four.'!
himself so situated that on the 15th he endeavoured
to retire on Villareal. In this he failed, for his rear-
guard being hard pressed by Coal, he was compelled
to halt and give battle,with the 15th Regiment on his
right, the 3rd Regiment on his left, and the municipal
guard and volunteers in the centre. In this order he
waited the attack ; and had the regulars proved faith-
ful the issue might have been different When the
•
linsurgent forces were ordered to fire, the 3rd and 15th
regiments went over in a body, and left the remaining
troops to sustain the attack. Canal's cavalry then
charged the rebels, and but for the firmness of the
Municipal Guards, who formed in square, the whole
army would at once have been annihilated. Bandeire
attempted to retire, but satire gni pent was soon the
order of the day. The rout became general, and the
3rd and 15th It Timents joined in the pursuit. The
remains of the iusurgent army were scattered in all
directions; and one portion, on reaching Regoa, en-
countered a guerilla face in the !aueen's pay, by
whom they were overpowered, stripped, and plun-
dered. Sada Bandeira ultimately reached Oporto,
and wasfollowed by small parties of the defeated army.
