CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Advice' have been received from the Cape
of Good Hope to the 27th of March. The
Cape Town Gaulle of the 13th contains a pro-
clamation of martial law in those districts where
the rebellious Cares were then caroling on their
depredations. It oppeare, however, by the same pa-
per of the 20th, flint a speedy prospect existed of
these marauders being reduced to submission, or
driven across the frontiers. The extent of the in-
surrection itself seems to have been exaggerated ;
it was begun in the first instance by three chiefs,
named SA MBIE, CONGO, and LYNX, of subordinate
note, hut one of the most powerful of them, named
Iltx3s, kept aloof during the aggressions. and
took eare to convey to the Governor assurances of
his peaceable disposition. The rebellions party,
with the whole of the plunder they kid collected,
had concealed themselves in a thick wood ; a strong
force was immediately sent against them, and there
was every reason to expect that the next post would
give a good recount of them. A great scarcity of
wheat existed at the Cape, in consequence of which
the Governor, Lord CHARLES SOMERSET, lord is-
sued a proclamation, requiring the farmers and
others to make a return of the stock on hand, in ore
•
der to husband. the resources of the colony.
PROCLAMATION.

der Chiefs who are at variance with the principal Chief,
Gaika, have entered the province of Albany (Zorrirelil), in

" Now, in order to put a stop to these calamities, I have
Vaught proper to call out considerable commando from
each of the interior districts, fur the propose of dnving thole
marauders over the known boundaries of this his Majeates

fatal cord to the leaders of this revolt. He is now
himself disgraced, deprived of his office, and ba-
.Malted to Itodosto. Yesterday the city was dia.

umuy on both sides were killed and wounded.
