The Haiti-Sheriff addressed to the new Grand

Vizier Abdullah Pacha in substance as follows:
" Thou must know that I have dismissed Sulich-
Pacha, my predecessor, on account of his lukewarm-
neat and incapacity. I have punished or dismissed
some other of my servants. I have chosen thee be-
cause I place confidence in thee, and I exhort thee to
obey scrupulously the laws of the empire and our
itogreligion. The state of theempire is known to
ail the world. and particularly to thee. Collect,
therefore, all the powers of thy mind, that the ene-
mies of the state may be destroyed. God knows the
danger is great! I have chosen thee among the
Viziers on account of thy capacity, and I have sent
away servants who were very enlightened. It is
my Imperial will that you consult with the Uleums
and the faithful representatives of the Janissaries.
In these difficult times • single will ought to direct
all hlthouhnen."

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
By the Venus, Kilgotw, which arrived on Monday
from the' Cape of Good Hope, letters have been
received in town from that colony to the 17th of
October. The Venus left St. Helena on the 30th
of October, and on her passage from that island to.
Fahnouth, on the 2d of December, spoke the Ada.

tract of a letter brought by the Venus, dated Cape
Town, October 16:—" Our last accounts from our
settlement at Graham's Town continue to be of a
very unsatislitctory kind. The settlers are very dis-
contented with their situation, and such as have
been able to raise the means and obtain the &over-
nor's permission, are rapitl.y quitting the place,—
In the environs of that settlement the Caffres have
lately made smite dangerous incursions, and several
of the settlers who had taken up their habitations
in the immediate vicinity, had, it was repored,
fallen victims to the savages; this also had been
the case wiih some individuals who-had imprudently
ventured in the woods, for the purpose of hunting,
and who have not since been heard of. but it wus
feared had been murdered, as mice' of a party of
Calks having been in the direction of their route,
were discovered by a patty who were scut in pur-
suit of the absentees. To add to the inconveni-
ences of those settlers, residing in the outskirts of
Graham's Town, hostilities are said w have taken
place between two of the Cuffree tribes, in their
neighbourhood, and several cattle have been carried
off ut various times by the marauding parties of the
combatants, in their pursuit of each other through
or near to the European settlements. Two muskets
bad also been stolen from the house of one M'Citaire,
whose residence was on the borders of the Hotten-
tot country. Some of the settlers, however, on
this side of Graham's Town, bud succeeded in ma-
nuring, and, in some measure cultivating, several
plots of the ground there which had hitherto defied
all agricultural ingenuity and industry ; and there
was every prospect of a considerably further portion
being brought fit for cultivation by the next season,
although the impregnation of saltpetre in th ground
is very strong, and exceedingly difficult to get rid
of. All hope of civilising the Cares is now given
over; the natural feature of the people is ferocity,
and they do not possess any of that uncultivated
shrewdness which has been so much observed in
many tribes and nations of savages; they are very
cruel, and without any ideas of society,. 'or any ap-
parent wish to know moo than thcit Auk state of
