LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY. Fbur o'clock.
We have accounts from the Cape of Good Hope, with
files of the South African Adrertiaer, to the 18th No-

is caillated.to assure us of the immediate restoration
of tranquillity. There was still a trace upon the
frontier, but it was much doubted whether it would
end in a peace, as it was thought that Sandilla
could not, and would not if he could, accede
to the terms proposed by Sir Peregriae Mait-
land, as preliminary to any amicable arrange-
ment, which included a surrender of arms, and the
restoration of all the cattle taken from colonists.
.Macomo was humbled, but Pato and most of the other
chiefs appeared averse to delivering over either arms,
cattle, or territory. "If these views be correct," says
the Adrertiser, "there will be more fighting, more
inroads, and as much danger to the frontier colonists
as at the beginning of the war. A protective line
of stations or encampments, on or within the
border, therefore, becomes a necessity, • thing
not to be left to the isolated efforts, to=
or enterprise of individuals, or parties
independently of each other. On entering
Kaihrland with the forces destined to subdue it, the

the most decisive operations, but it will only be so
fora short time. Not a day should he lost in treating
or in negociating with the chiefs Sandilla, Pato, and
their abettors. After the ezpication of the resent n•
which should not have been granted, rewards should
be offered for their apprehension, and the people in-
formed as widely as the information ma be apvinds
that these men are no longer recognised by the Bop
glish as chiefs, but as disturbers of the peace, with
whom no terms will henceforth be kept. A tone of
authority and menace, not of persuasion or argument,
should now be used towards this enemy all in
authority should be commanded to use this tone." The
same journal goes on to observe:—

This discovery, if boldly. followed up, lays Kafflrland at

here would command the whole country hem the sea to the
mountains, and from the Keialtemma to the Kei. By means
of steamers, troops sod supplies of every description can be
thrown at any moment into the very centre of the enemy's
country, through this opening. In short, the great difficulty
of Kaffir warfare is removed, which, undoubtedly was its
distance from ports and harbours, aggravated by the horrible
nature of the roads and ravines between the army and its

resources.
When the Thunderbolt was in this bay, the Kaffir' showed
themselves in considerable numbers on the rising grounds in
the neighbourhood, mounted and armed with guns. They
are intelligent enough to know the importance of keeping
this gate into their country. shut, and the governor, when
he advances to take possession of it, may probably have an
opportunity of striking a blow at Pato aid his associates in
that vicinity. At all events they will be made to leave that
part of the country:
The following is the latest news from the frontier.
(From the Frontier Times.)
Four BBACTORT,2Bth Oct 1848.—Some few days ago,
Capt. Hogg's Burghers arrived here, amounting to .500, and
were encamped below the great barrack, near the lower
tamp. For some slays past this town has been excited by
reports of their insubordination. On the morning of the
25th, a party of about 100 were ordered to escort weggons
to Waterloo Bay. Accordingly the rations to this encamp-
ment were issued early. At 10 o'clock, just after market, the
whole body of Hogg's Burghers marched up in perfect order,
with pack oxen, "bag and baggage and drew up in line before
Moja. Smith's door, where they halted to have a conference
with him, which lasted about 20 minutes. He was much I
excited, and left them, directing his course to the eons- I
niandant's (Lieut• Col. Richardson's) quarters. In perfect
order they marched across the parade, down Campbell Wrest,'
across the stone bridge, and took road to Grahsm's Town.
Before their departure the alarm bugle blew ; there was •

consequently some delay took place. When the Burghers
began to ascend the kills, Captain Ward, to arrest their pro-

BATIMIST.Nov. 2, 1846.—This morning our little village
wee thrown into a state of great alarm by a report that the
HAIN were again in oar neighbourhood. It aapppears that
fhb sumac Mr. When Goldnrain LRBathu eat for
*Tort WWI& Waggon, containing sundry things'
and also • sick soldier of the- Cape Corps, who had been
ordered to town for medical aid, there being no doctor in
Bathurst. This waggon being without an escort, was attacked
at the top of the hill usually called Smith's Bush, by a
party of about 16 Kaffir,. Mr. Ooldswain was driving the
waggon when a shot fall close to Dim, and the discharge of a
gm was so near that he thought it was the soldier who had
Ind from the inside of the waggon. Some Hottentot women
lathe rear of the waggon,who saw the Kaffir. gave the alarm.
Goldswain seeing so many Kaffir', instaney ran to the
waggon, seized his gun, and made to the bush, the leader
doing the same. Five of the Kaffir, pursued him into the bush,
but he evaded them, and, with great difficulty, got back to
Bathurst. The invalid during all this time remained in the
, but, by a continual firing kept off the Kaffir., until,
=opportunity offering, he and the two Hottentot women
left the waggon, and fled in the direction of Wilson's
party, making towards Mr. Kidson's house. In their
mow, the party were tired at by Kaffir', a bell actually
eat. the handkerchief which was tied round the
head of the Hottentot soldier Most fortunately the
whole camped, and were ultimately brought safe to
Bathurst by a party of the levies—some C.M.R. and some
Roughen in charge of F. Ooldswain, which went off in pur-
mit of the marauders. The waggon and oxen and contents
of the waggon were found quite safe—in fact nothing was
touched, except that two of the front oxen had been taken
out of the yoke. The marauders must have been alarmed
before securing their booty. The Kaffir. had made a larg
fire daring the night, at what is called the Blue Hill. The
spoor of about 20 Kaffirs was distinctly seen.
At 10 a.m. the Kettles made off to the bush with a herd
of tattle belonging to Mr. Ooldswain, men. Being, however,
ardekly followed, the whole were recaptured.
It will be cause of great satisfaction to the people of Fort
Blanket to learn that this day a convoy of waggons were
sent of with supplies, and a considerable amount in specie

The governor met them on the way soon afterwards, and
It is said gave them the horses. On the same day, Stock sent

Melia stolen to be returned. As to those which he bed sent,
they were colonial cattle, and would of course be fetched
away by our troops, if not given up voluntarily. Some Fin-
ger came to Peddle from Jan Taartoe's people. They say
Mt his people have been in the war. Sanctifies people were
basing him to go to Macomo, stating that they world join
*ilea chief who asked fa peace. The Butterworth
reported strong enough to hid dames to the

My had help on the road.
Olt the 2nd Nov., Stock sent in 19 head of cattle, three
lame, and two guns? as the full remnant of property taken
bps VIII colony by his tribe. He stated that all his people
ON new at the Shushu, and wished to know in what light he
Is viewed by our government. No protection is given him,
and what be had foretold has now happened. Nonibi's people
bad killed three of his men, and taken cattle, and he had no
Sass in which to plant his crops. The agent sent word that
be ealy received the cattle as an instalment, and that unless
• cattle stolen from Newtondale were given up within the
et days given him by the governor he would be treated
mau enemy. Stock's men were only ;tot despatched, when
taw mealagers arrived from Nonibi. She had sent two
Woes •hw days previously to ask for peace. The gover-
nor lei ntarsed for answer that she must bring her people,
with their guns and the stolen cattle, and then he might
• le her about peace. The messengers who had now
indeed word,i had sent them to return thanks for the
giwasor's and to say that they accepted the propo-
adi. Capt. Maclean sent an answer that she must bring all
he tattle and guns, and till then all her professions would
gram nothing. On inquiry about NonibPs people having
Mai three of Stock's men, it was found to be a fabrication.
Newild's messengers had slept at Stock's only the night be-
flme, and beard not a word about the matter.
Oa the same day, Nov. 2nd, Jan Tzetsoe himself arrived
at Pert Peddie. seems be had been sent for by Rev. J.
Deavralee to come from King William's Town, and explain
In the governor his actual position with regard to the war
sod the vernment. He came well dressed and mounted,
attaadd by about 20 men, all mounted. There seems to
haws been some misconception on the part of this chief as to
theehject for which he had been advised to come here. He
awned an air of ridiculous self-importenoe, which seems to
have given offence to the diplomatic agent, who considered
Metes and bearing to be very unbecoming in one from whom
the government had a right to expect explanation. Tzatcoe,
however, finding that he had early been sent for by Mr.
Holoreke, and not by the governor, seemed affronted, and said
be had sae commutucation to make. He had been sent for,
and expected to have received communication from the go-
vernor. The Rev. Mr. Brownlee offered to proceed with
him to the governor, but this Tutors declined, saying be
dorald return home, and decide for himself' what he should
do. Hereupon Captain Maclean thought it his duty to de.
eke Tunas to leave the post immediately, which he nay
nen, did. It is thought by some that Tcatzoe is at pant
earned away with the notion that seems to prevail mils
the Kaffirs, that the English are not able to continue he
wil; and that we are as anxious for peace, as many of thaw
aelva are. While this notion prevails among them, a sere
and safe settlement will hardly be arrived at.
Communications from Waterloo Bay have come in, sad
which state that large quantities of government stores lad
'applies have been landed there during this week. The
weather having been very fine, the boating work had been
carried on with commendable spirit, and with parted BOO-
OM. The Thunderbolt was in the bay, and had beta
actively employed.in a most important work—that sof laying
down heavy moorings. This to had, we belief, been sage-
iheterily completed by her, and shelves on the eve of starting
far the Buffalo, the month of which she was to examine, In
