CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Her Majesty's steam-sloop Inflexible, Commander
Hoseason, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday morn-
ing from the East Indies and the Cape of Good Hope,
bringing most important news from the latter colony
to the 2d of August, being twenty-three days later
than that communicated in our paper of Saturday.
By the highly interesting details which we subjoin, it
will be seen that the colonists have assumed an atti-
tude of determined resistance to the step of making
the Cape a penal settlement, and so serious was the
excitement on the subject, that his Excellency Sir
Harry Smith had made arrangements, on the
arrival of the Neptune, for the convicts to be turned
over to the Seringapatarn hulk at Simon's Bay, and
there to be kept until further instructions regarding
their disposal should be received from her Majesty's
Government. The colonists, however, insisted that
they should be sent away from the colony the
moment they arrive. The Brilliant, 20, Captain
Watson, sailed from the Cape for England, on the
same day as the Inflexible left, Aug. 2, at which date
the Southampton, 50, with the flag of Rear-Admiral
Reynolds, Geyser steam-sloop, Dee steam-transport,
and Sermgapatarn, coal depot, were lying at Simon's
Bay. The Eurydice, 26, was at the Mauritius
and the Orestes, 18, in the Mozambique Channel.'
Rear-Admiral Reynolds was waiting the arrival of
Commodore Wyvill, in the Castor, to resign his
command, and proceed to the southeast coast of
Americas The Randolph convict ship put into
Simon's Bay, in the middle of July, for medical
assistance, in consequence of the late surgeon super-
intendent, Mr. Harry Goldney, having put a period
to his existence by jumping overboard at sea, while
labouring under temporary derangement, caused by
erysipelas in the head. Mr. Lawrance, senior assis-
tant of the flag-ship, having been appointed acting
surgeon-superintendent, the Randolph proceeded on
her destination to Australia.
The Inflexible left St. Helena on the 17th, and the
Brilliant on the 13th August. Commodore Panshawe,
in the Centaur, had proceeded from that island for
Loando on the 9th; only four days before the Di it-
liant's arrival. The Brilliant left Ascension the 19th
August, and the Inflexible on the 21st. The Tortoise
was the only vessel lying there. The squadron on
the coast was healthy, and very successful.

We regret to announce the death of Mr. "John
Cameron, who has for some years been connected with
the press in London. He was send with malignant
Asiatic cholera, at his residence in Lambeth, at seven
o'clock on Saturday evening, and ceased to exist before
nine on Sunday morning.
DIE QUEEN DOWAGER.—Yesterday her Majesty
the Queen Dowager, accompanied by their Serene
Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Meiningen,
and the members of her Majesty's household, attended
Divine service at Stanmore Church. The Hon. and Rev,

ciating clergymen. His Siren() Highness the Hereditary

from Germany, in time to join the dinner circle. His
Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar. the
Earl of Denbigh, the Earl Howe, the Hon. Miss Edon,
cud Captain Bedford, are staying with her Majesty.
The return of Queen Adelaide to Bentley Priory for
her winter residence has infused much joy to the intt•
bitants, more especially the povr, who, last year, were
recipients of the benevolence of " the good Queen Ado-
lade." The health of her Majesty has much improved
of late.

LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1849.

Sympathy shall do for the Hungarians what has
been undone by treason. England shall by her bene-
ficent influences counterbalance the evil influences of
Russia. In speaking thus we are only reiterating a
truth which has been articulated by the voice of
thousands. The people of Great Britain have pro-
claimed, and are still proclaiming, their determination
to prevent the extinction of another glorious nation-
ality. As an independent power Poland has been
obliterated from the map of Europe. England witse
nes.'_ed, the downfal of that heroic kingdom, and the
children of England wept over the annals of the
calamity. Their tears were soon quenched, however,
by their indignation, and they resolved, as a race
sworn to keep alive the vestal fires of Liberty,
that they would never behold a second
partition. In spite of this, the insatiable
ambition, the greed of empire, the lust of dominion
have prompted the northern despots repeatedly to
make aggressive advances upon every contiguous ter-
ritory. In this manner, for example, we have seen
the AUTOCRAT absorbing petty provinces one after
another; we have seen his soldiers pressing into the
very heart of Moldavia and Wallachia, threatening
the frontiers of Roumelia, and placing his janissaries
as sentinels over the palatial residences of Bucharest ;
we have seen his policy directed perpetually to that
magnificent day-dream of the house of ROMANOFF,
which would reduce the Caliph SULTAN to a simple
viceroy—which would enable the Russian fleet to
ride at anchor off the Golden Horn—which
would cause the banner of the black eagle
to fly over the dome of St. Sophia, and
would transform the gorgeous city of Constantinople
into the St. Petersburgh of the Mediterranean. As
with the Czaia, so also with the KAISER we have
observed the damnable work of spoliation progres-
sing. While extinguishing the last glimmer of Polish
independence by the annexation of Cracow, the
wicked councils of the Austrian have directed their
energies to the completion of that great work of
miscellaneous robbery. They have tried to cozen the
Germanic Confederation into the abandonment of the
imperial authority unconditionally to the House of
Hapsburg. They have endeavoured to awe Gallicia
into obedience by the employment of a terrorism
contrasted with which the terrorism of ROBESPIERRE
was humane and magnanimous. They have goaded
on the nobles to the tyrannical domination of the
peasantry, and have instigated the peasantry to wreak
upon the nobles a sanguinary and diabolical ven-
geance. They have placed in the hands of their
myrmidons the weapons of cruelty and assassination,
the torch and the dagger, deleterious drugs and those
yet mere disastrous and destructive poisons, slanders
invested with the appearance of official authenticity.
As the crowning ac of their stupendous atrocities,
the members of the Government of Austria have
dared to place a sacrilegious hand upon the in-
violable rights and the immemorial liberties
of Hungary. It is not yet forgotten—nay, we
are bold to aver that it will never be lost to remem-
brance, never until the last champion of freedom is
strangled on the expiring hecatomb of his com-
patriots—how that unparalleled evidence of
treachery calle forth from the race of the Magyars
equally unparalleled evidences of civism, of heroism,
and of devotion to their ancient prerogatives. The
rising throughout the countries of the Danube, the
retreat to the environs of Debreczin, the defence of
Comorn, the campaign in Transylvania, and the
simultaneous victories achieved -when the Provisional
Government sounded the charge of battle—rolling
back the armies of -FERDINAND to the suburbs of
Prcsburg, obscuring the renown of WELDEN, of
WINDISCBGRATZ, and of ITAYNAIT, appalling the EM-
PEROR into an abdication, and routing the formidable
band of Croats under JELLACUlCH—constitute a
spectacle more majestic than any that has been wit-
nessed since the Titanic wars of 'the great conqueror
NAPOLEON. The heart of England leaped up with
exultation at the tidings of all that had been accom-
plished—unaided, except by GOD and their own
valour—by the glorious sons sef Hungary. The
mind of England appreciated the justice of the sacred
and unsullied cause of the Hungarians. The soul of
Englandrevolted at the prospect of their subjugation--
a prospect which was rendered only the more probable
when FRANCIS JOSEPH called in to his aid the legions
of the abhorred NICHOLAS. And soon the voices of
the people of England were head resounding across
Europe, breathing hatred and defiance against 1
the scourgers of women, the ruthless and pitiless
oppressors
.of nations. Thank GoD the British
Government remained apathetic in the midst of this
emergency, the British people 'were true to them-
selves and to their historic recollextions.

Hungary has been delivered over by treason, bound
hand and foot, to the mercies of tbc.Austrian EMPEROR,
and of his ally the Russian AUTOCRAT. Yet awful as
is her peril, she is not lost—fm she has the sym-
pathy, the love, and the admi ration of the great
English people. In this very even mg's impression of our
journtl will be found another tol:en of that enthusiasm
which we have striven, and not vain, to awaken in
the bos)ms of our countrymen. The particulars of
the me4tiog held this day se'nnight at Norwich would
be sufficient of themselves to ;show that England
despairs not for Hungary, if we rue no other attestation
whatevn. of that opinion. Other attestations, how•
ever, vie have—the attestations (e very man amongst
us) of (ur own judgment and of 9 tr own convictions.
