objection to give the maps, but they could only employ
those persons who were regularly engaged,on the Irish
Snteh surveys to make the tracings. Toe Ordnance
were now obliged to pay alt the money they received for
these maps into the Treasury, but, if they re•
ceived a sum of money, for the purpose, they would be
very happy to supply those maps to the country.
THE CAPE.

Mr. ADDERLBY rose to ask the Secretary of State
for the Colonies whether the dispatches just arrived
from the Cape announced the passing of the constitution
ordinances, including the alterations of this frarichiee
against which the Attorney-General protested; what
information had been received relating to the rumoured
advance
.of Przelorius against the Zoolas; and whether
treaties .were actually entered into with the Kefir chiefs
for the termination of the war? The papers and letters
just received were full of the importance of the expres-
sions of Lard Derby laet year, when he said in the de-
bate on the Cape is the louse of Lords,—
" He might have hesitated to grant eo large a measureof representedive government as that now proposed to be
granted.to the colony, but he would say that, as such a
proposal had been made on such high auteority, and as
it heel obtained the sanction of the colony, and the im-•
plied sanction of the Ccown, any danger or risk was to
be 013COUntel'iA rather than not to fulfil those expects-
tious; and he would not hate one jet of the popular is- .
eitutione proposed to he coefided to the colony, however
anxious he might be as to the workiug of those institu-
tions in the first instance."
Ile wished aLio to know. if the Government intended to
carry out their leeishatien on the subject this session?
Sir J. TAKING lON said that the (petition of which
the Hohourahle Member had given notice .embraced
three points, to which he had added a fourth, and, in re-
Plying, he (Sir J. Tekington) would take them seriatim.
As the Honourable Member had .given notice of the
question on Saturday, he- presumed the Honourable
Member referred to the accounts which came over a
week ago with Sir Harry Smith, and he might not be
aware that a mail had arrived this morning. By the mail
of a week ego he, (Sir J. Pakingion) had received a
dispatch from General Cathcart, stating that he had
thought it to be his duty to pass the constitution ordi-
nances with the alterations made by the council; and by •
the mail of this..morningle had received the ordinances
themselves. As to the second question, he was very
happy to be able to state that the rumoured advance of
Trattorias against the Zalas not only remained without
foundation, but that by the mail this morning ho had re-
ceived the agreeable information that a convention had
been agreed to between Prmtorias and her Majesty's
Commissioners, and that peaceful relations had been
established.—(Hear, hear.) As to the third question,
whether treaties were entered into with the Kafir chiefs, -
he regretted to say he had no information that they were,
and he was afraid, from the dispatches received from
General Cathcart, there was no reason to believe there
would be. With respect to the fourth question, he did
not know till a week ago that the ordinances had been
sanctioned by the new Governor, and as the ordinances
had only arrived this morning at the Colonial-office, he
thought the Hon. Member would admit it would be ex-
tremely premature for him to attempt to state now what
were the intentions of her Majesty's Government on this •
subject.—(Hear.)_ _ _ •
