CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Letters from the Cape of Good Hope to the

`26th of August were received yesterday. The
only important part of their contents is that which
relates to the return of Mr. GREG to the colony,

and the treatment he received from the Governor.
Lord CHARLES SOMERSET, on his re-appearance
there. All the printing implements and
stock in trade of this gentlemen were seized,
and as they constituted his whole capi-

tali he was compelled to deposit them in
Pledge with the Colonial Government, to raise a
-sum of money to enable him to defray his ex-
pences to England. On his arrival here, Mr.

Greig appealed to the Colonial-office, and receiv-
ed permission to go back to the colony, with an
Assurance that. he shonid he permitted to carry
on his business without molestation, and that
his materials should all of them be resored
to him. We now learn, however, from the

letters of respectable settlers at the Cape, that
;his degree of daring is not too great for
Lord Charles Somerset, who, on the plea that
Mr. Greig's printing apparatus had been sold to
Another person, after the departure of Mr.
Greig, now refuses to make restitution of
the property. His Lordship's conduct has
been marked by so many irregularities, that,
in the spirit of the vulgar adage, he had
"as lieve be hanged for a sheep as a lamb."
Row otherwise would he have dared to dispose
of the property of a man who had avowedly
gone to England to appeal against the suspension
_of his
.journal, and who had declared that in that
property nearly the whole of his capital was em-
barked ? The conduct pursued towards Governor
Macquarrie, late of New South Wales, might
form a criterion to judge of that which the Go-
vernment is likely to adopt towards this arrogant
member of the Beaufort family, unless indeed
Parliamentary interest, of which Governor Mac-
Auarrie had none, may be supposed to alter the
case. Mr. Bigge's report, if we recollect right,
made it the gravamen of his charge against Go-
vernor Macquarrie, that he had placed himself
in personal opposition to an individual, thus de-
grading the public character he bore ; but
what will Mr. Bigge's and Lord Charles's mas-
ters say to the treatment to which their pro-
teg4 has subjected Mr. Greif; ? Mr. Bigge
is preparing a report of the Cape colony itself,
who will have to state his opinion on this case,
when it will he seen how far his abstract notions
of justice correspond with those he expressed on
that of Governor Macquarrie. Mr. Greig was to
commence the republication of his Journal on the
31st of Aogust.
