which are to go to Africa, says that nothing can exceed
the ardour of the soldiers who are destined to revenge
our colonists and soldiers surprised by the treachery of
the Arabzi. Cabrera has written a letter to a person
at Bayonne, in which he begs him to make known that
all the reports of a convention with the Constitutional
army are entirely false. The haughty partizan rejects,
as unworthy of his character, any arrangement, and
does not conceal that the French Government has the
greatest share in all those negotiations.—Le commerce.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We have numerous arrivals this morning, in conse-
quence of which the delivery of the letters and papers
trim the Post-office have been retarded to a late hour.

We have received Cape of Good Hope Papers to
the 17th October. The following are ,:tracts :
" PORT NATAL.—The American Missionary, Mr.
Lindley, has arrived from Port Natal. He gives a
very interesting account of the country and emigrants ;
the former, he declares, is splendid in the extreme. He
speaks very highly of the piety :aid industry of the
Boors ; and considers th-it they audDingaan are equally
anxious for peace, but mistrustful of each other. The
farmers are living in large congregated masses, for fear
of the Zoolas ; and be thinks unless peace be made and
'secured within a few weeks, they will be obliged to act
on the offensive.

" A petitim. of the landholders, tradesmen, and other
inhabitonts of Cape Town to his Excellency at a pub-
lic meeting, states—That having ascertained the in-
troduction in the Honourable Board of a Bill for the
exemption from the laws against usury, certain bills,
promissory notes, &c., they contemplate with the greatest
alarm the possibility of its being carried, and becoming
a law, as they conceive that its immediate consequences
will be highly •detrimental to the best interest of the
community at large, and peculiarly oppressive and
ruinous to the.‘agriculturists, landholders, and trades-
men, n d the labouring classes of the colony."
(From the Graham Town Journal, Oct. 3.)
TUE WEATHER.-At Somerset we have had the
severest fall of rain and snow that has been expe-
rienced for the last 16 years. Many sheep and goats
have died from the cold.

Heavy rains have delayed again the post from the
frontier.

We have received Halifax papers to the 22d Nov.
The weather still continues very favourable, mild, and
dry.
We have received Prince Edward's Island papers to
November 20.

ST. JOHN'S, N.B.—A diabolical attempt was made to
set fire to the Commercial Batik. The fire was fortu-
nately discovered by a person passing the building before
it had made much progress. Sir John Harvey has
issued a proclamation forbidding the cutting of any por-
tion of timber, however small, on the disputed territory,
and authorising the Warden to seize the timber and
drive off all persons so employed.
