CATE OF GOOD HOPE.

PROCLAMATION.

Whereas by a Proclamation, bearing date the 24th day of
June, 1814, it was provided that the factors, agents, super-
cargoes, or others interested in any ships or vessels coming to
the ports of Cape Town, or Simon's Town, from the east-
ward (for the purpose of trade or traffic with the colony),
with any goods, wares, or merchandize, which might le-
gally be re-exported, should be permitted to enter the
same at the Custom-house and to lodge such goods, wares,
and merchandise in the warehouses thereof, (at their,own risk,)
under the immediate charge of the Collector and Comptroller
of his Majesty's Customs, and be permitted to re-export
the same, duty free, paying only the usual rates for wharf-
age and warehouse, the expense of permits and such other
incident expences as are customary and necessary, as is therein
further expressed : and whereas, by an order of his Most
Gracious Majesty in Council, bearing date 12th July, 1320,
certain privileges were conceded to British ships or vessels ar-
riving in the ports of this settlement, from any counn y in
amity with his Majesty, laden with any articles of the growth,
production, or manufacture of such country, (certain articles
therein detailed excepted,) and to foreign ships or vessels be-
longing to the subjects of any state in amity with his Majesty,
which foreign state shall allow British vessels to carry on trade
between the ports of that state and the settlement of the Cape
of Good Hope ; and whereas the beneficial effects of the afore-
said regulation of the 24th June, 1814, having been universal-
ly felt and acknowledged, I do now hereby deem it expedi-
ent to extend the same to all goods, wares, and merchandise,
legally imported into this colony from foreign countries, under
the provisions of the Order in Council of the 12th July, 1820,
which foreign goods, wares, and merchandize so imported shall
henceforward be admitted to entry at the custom-houses of Cape
Town and Simon's Town, and be allowed to -be lodged for the
term of eighteen calendar months in the warehouses of his Ma-
jesty's customs (at the risk of the importer,) under the imme-
diate charge of the Collector and Comptroller thereof, and shall
be permitted to be re-exported from the said warehouses,
duty free, subject only to the term and charges as before ex-
pressed, relative to goods, wares, and merchandise arriving
here from the eastward ; provided, nevertheless, that it be an
absolute and indispensable condition, that two-thirds of the
amount of such foreign articles, sold in bond,' shall be vested
in colonial produce, (merchandise legally imported, or bonded
as above), for exportation from the colony. But at the ex,
piration of the 18 calendar months aforesaid, (unless under pe-
culiar circumstances)., such proportion of the oods, wares, and
merchandise as shall not have been re-exported, but shall remain
in the stores of his Majesty's customs, shall be charged with
the usual colonial duties on foreign imports, and the
owners or persons interested therein shall be called upon
forthwith to remove the same, paying the charges due,thereon ; ,
in default thereof, his Majesty's collector, or the chief officer of
his Majesty's custom department, shall put such goods-, wares,
and merchandize, up to public sale, on account of those interested
therein, and account to them for the proceeds thereof, deduct-
ing the aforesaid customary duties and expenses.

Cape of Good Hope, April 18, 1822.

Three troops of the Royal Dragoons, with the Staff, &c. of
the regiment, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel • Clif-
ton, marched into the Royal Cavalry Barracks in this city,
yesterday, and the remainder of the regiment have pro.
cceded to their several destinations, as stated in our last.
The regiment, on Saturday, was reviewed on Wormwood
Scrubs, by his Royal Highness the Duke of York, attended
by his Grace the Duke of Wellington, Sir William Keir,
and very many distinguished military characters. Previous to
his Royal Highness's arrival on the ground, the Duke of Wel-,
lington rode twice down the ranks, and expressed great pleasure
at again seeing that gallant regiment which had served under
him for such a length of time in the Peninsula, and which so
highly distinguished itself at the battle of Waterloo. After the
Review hi Royal Highness was plensed to, pay the Regin ent
several high compliments on their soldier-like appearance,
correctness of movements in the field. ( Kentish Gazette.)
Last Sunday the Countess of Han COURT alti

Lady WIGRAM, of Belmont House, held the..
plates at Great Malvern Church, and received a
very liberal collection for the starving Irish,
after a most eloquent and impressive Sermon by
the Rev. HENRY CARD. The Abbey Church
never displayed so much beauty as on this humane
and laudable occasion.

THE LONDON JOURNALS•

EXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS,
July 13, 18'22.

[MORNING POST.]
The amendments introduced by the Lords into
the Bill to amend the Marriage Act were last
night discussed in the House of Commons. Dr.
Phillimore, on this occasion, after an eloquent
and forcible explanation of the merits of the Bill,
moved that the amendments of their Lordships
be agreed to. In the discussion which took place
on this question several distinguished Lawyers
took part; but the subject has been already so
often before the public that it would be misap-
plying our space to enter into any analysis of the
professional talent and legal research and subtlety,
as well as the eloquence displayed by these emi-
nent professional gentlemen. In supporting the
Bill on general grounds, Al r. Plunkett shone forth
in the brightest lustre of his genius, and undoubt-
edlyhad the House completely with him in the ar-
guments which he so powerfully enforced. The At-
torney-General, in another respect, shed equal ho
nour on his profession, as well as upon Parliament.
With the nicest skill he laid open the'errors of
the clauses attached by the House of Lords, to-
gether with the dangers which he discovered in
the whole law as now proposed ; and so ably did
he expose many of the, absurdities of the Bill,
that Parliament may probably deem it necessary
to remove them in the next Session. With re-
gard to the retrospective clause, its justice.(with
the- necessary provisions attached to it) stands on
too firm a foundation to be ever shaken by fair
and legitimate means; and that salutary pro-
vision must therefore permanently remain an em-
bellishment and credit to our Statute Book.—.
The House continued in debate till half past
two o'clock this morning, when the Bill was
finally passed by nett majority of 102, the
numbers being 122 in its favour, and only 20
against it.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
Mr. Brogden last night brought 'up the Re-
port on the resolutions granting pensions to the
inferior servants of the late Queen. ' The sum
total did not amount to 3,000/. a-yeas—moderate
enough surely -fur' the household of the Queen of
England. Mr. Stuart Wortley suggested, that
it was usual on the death of a Queen to grant
pensions to the higher as well as the inferior ser-
vants ; and in the course of the conversation to
which this remark gave rise, the meritorious ser-
vices of Lady Anne Hamilton and Sir 'William
Cell were particulnly noticed. We fear, hOw-
ever, that these services will go unrewarded, ex-
cept by the pleasure which the parties must ever
derive from the consciousness of having, with
courage and fortitude, done their duty to their
unfortunate Alistress. It appears that the wages
of her Majesty's inferior servants were in arrear
at the time of her death; and that she did not
leave assets to pay them.

[NEW TIMES.]
It will be seen by our Parliamentary Report,
that Mr. Abercromby has appeared in his place
in Parliament, according to the order issued for
that purpose. The lion. Gentleman had gone
off the direct road; in order to obtain the advice
and assistance of Lord Althorp, as his friend on
the occasion ; and finding that the Messenger
had in consequence preceded him, by six hours
from 'Ferrybridge, he immediately returned to
London.—ln a few days more Mr. Hope and Mr.
Menzies will of course appear at the bar of the
House. We do not wish to say any thing
prejudging the case of these Gentlemen, but
when The Morning -Chronicle ,thinks fit to
censure their letters with asperity, we think
it prejudges -the queStion unfairly, and contrary
to what would be the decision of any candid
mind. If the letters are condemnable as tend-
ing to a breach of privilege, or to a breach of the
peace, the provocation given ought to be fairly
considered. • We cannot but agree decidedly
with Mr. Forbes, that it would be well, if, in
the prosecution of. Parliamentary business, the
remarks of Hon. Members on the conduct of in-
dividuals out _of the House should be guarded
with greater circumspection than what we often
see employed. Much as we venerate the pri-.
vileges of the House of Commons, we must re-
member that in the present case there is an
apparent conflict between those privileges and
the privileges of the Bar, which are of extreme
importance to the general interests of society.

[TII-1: TIM ES.]

The denouement of the affair in which Mr.
Abercromby was concerned took ptace last night
in the House of Commons.' That Hon. Gentle-
man appeared in his place, and received the in-
junctions of the House to take no step in his dis-
pute with' the Scotch Advocates. The suspicions
of the House and of the country, it appears, were
-well-founded with respect to the course which
Mr. Abercromby was pursuing : he was intent
upon exercising " a vigour beyond the law" when
his career was stopped. He could have expected
no motion on the publickions of the Scotch
Lawyers, from one so totally unconnected with
him as Mr. Courtenay ; and had called upon
Lord Althorp to attend hint in the arrange-
ment of the business in which he was en-
gaged. The intended principal and his second
saw at Ferrybridge what had taken place in the
)louse on Tuesday evening, and knew that the
-officer was after them. It would have been ridi-
culous to proceed further, with the certainty that
their measures must be cut short by the interven-
tion of " the winged messedger." They therefore
returned to submit to the order of the House.—
Lt was with very just feeling and good taste that
Mr.Ahercromby abstained altogether from speak-
_ ing last night. The explanation of what had
',taken place came with the strictest propriety
frotn his noble friend ; and to that explanation
we shall beg leave to refer the public.

[MORNING,IIERALD.]
Wednesday's Paris Papers arrived last night
by express. They contain accounts of some in-
*est,frOnl Spain and Constantinople.' The for-
itier. State that the rebel hand, amounting to 16001.

under the command of Gen. Quesada, in Navarre,
have been routed completely, with the loss of 400
,left dead on the field. Quesada himself is said
to have escaped without a single companion into
France, disguised as a peasant. The latter ac-
counts state that the Divan has resumed its
insincere and dilatory mode of proceeding,
and that the Reis-Effendi, in answer to the
pressing notes of the English and Austrian Mi-
nisters, bias declined, on the part of the Sultan,
sending a Diplomatic Agent to the approaching
Congress, on the ground that there is no matter
of dispute between Russia and the Porte, and
that it only remains for Russia to send M. de
Strogonoff, or a successor to him, again to Con-
stantinople. We cannot take if upon us to say
whether this is or is not true. It certainly is not im-
probable, and it could be easily accounted for, thus
—the only point in dispute defactobetweenTurkey
and Russia is the treatment of the Greek subjects
of the Porte. But the Porte, by admitting this
to be legitimate matter of discussion, would
thereby admit the right of the RUssians to inter-
fere between the Turkish Government and its
Greek subjects. hence it might decline sending
a Minister. But we do not venture an opinion
upon the mere question of fact.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
It is much to be deplored that our laws do not
permit of the Turk marking his sense of grati-
tude to his noble friends in England in the cus-
tomary oriental manner. There must now be a
great abundance of Grecian slaves; the market
must be overstocked ; and a more delicate and
significant mode of shewing a sense of obliga-
tion to those who have been instrumental to their
captivity could scarcely be devised, than to send a
few of them to this country as presents to the friends
of the Turks. There are many members of the Cabi-
net who would be much gratified by this substantial
token of high consideration. The man of con-
science, whose tear is his only charity, who sub-
scribes for Bibles and weeps most liberally for
charities, he, for instance,might like a handmaid,
the more especially as slaves do not cost any thing
in the way of wages. Other noble families might
like them to fill the place formerly assigned to
little boys, that is to say, to endure the kicks
and cuffs of the young Gentlemen and Ladies.—
But, unhappily, the laws obstruct this method
of shewing Turkish gratitude. What, however,
are our officers doing who serve in the Turkish
ranks ? How is it we have no trophies of their
gallant exploits? If they cannot send home the
slaves that fall to their share—the prize-flesh
they have earned ; yet surely the evidence of
their martial achievements might appear in the
shape of ears and noses, many sacks of which
have been sent to Constantinople, but none
have found their way to-the father-land of these
heroic friends to the cause of rape, robbery,
and murder, not to mention crimes hind
nonii-
nanda. How gracefully might strings of the
ears and noses of slaughtered Greeks be twined
around those standards that are boasted to have
been won in asserting the liberties of mankind.
