NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Rhadamanthus was to have relieved the Dee,
but owing to her inefficiency for this service, the
latter vessel will be retained on this station for the
present. Her Majesty's steamer Hermes has taken
in stores in order to proceed to Mauritius for troops,
if required. The Tanjore freight ship arrived in
Simon's Bay on the 28th ult., from England, with
Government provisions, &c. Her Majesty's steamer
Castor, Commodore Wyville, and the Rhadaman-
thus are the only two vessels-of-war in the bay.
Her Majesty's steamer Dee left Algoa Bay on the
21st ult., for East London; she brings back the rest
of the levies.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
CAPE TOWN, AUG. 1, 11 A.M.

The frontier mail arrived early this morning.
The dates are from Graham's Town, July 26, and
from head-quarters up to the 23d. A patrol under
command of Colonel Michell had returned that day
without booty, nearly all the Kafir cattle, as we►l
as those taken from the colony, having been driven to
a distance; a patrol under Colonel Eyre had not yet
returned.

The news from Krell is pacific. Two messengers
had arrived at King William's Town, with a message
from him to the Governor. The substance is stated
to be a desire for peace, a profession of fidelity towards
the British Government, and, as a proof, a request
that the British Resident may be sent back in order
to be the medium of future communication.

Sandilli, it is said, contemplates a removal with his
people to beyond the Kye. He had sent messengers
to Pato, who had gone to Fort Murray to receive
their communication. What the substance was is
not known.

The next intelligence is very distressing ; another
attack has been made on the fron! 'ler mail near L?euwe
Foatein, between Graham's Town and Fort Beaufort,
by the Hottentots. The party (among whom were
two respectable tradesmen of the latter town, who
availed themselves of the return of the post) were
fired on ; six were killed and one wounded, the man
who brought the intelligence alone escaping. On the
same day a party of tht European levy, in pursuit of
some cattle, met with a severe repulse from the same
enemy, five of the levy being killed. General Somerset
had sent out a strong force in pursuit.
From Port Elizabeth information had been received
of the great destruction of property in the Zuurberg
and Oliphant's Hoek. It is said that the line of
Sunday's River, if not that of the Zwaart-kops also,
is contested by the enemy.

(From the supplement to% the Cape Town Mail of
Aug. 1.)
Cape Town Mail Office, Friday, Aug. 1., 11 A.M.
The post which has just arrived from the frontier
brings additional intelligence of a painful and dis-
heartening character. The Kafirs and rebel Hotten-
tots were spreading themselves in large parties over
the country, from Sunday's River to the Amatolas,
slaying, pillaging, and burning in all directions.
Some atrocious murders of frontier colonists had been
committed by the Hottentot banditti.
In British Kaffraria there was comparativ'e peace.
The patrols sent out from King William's Town en-
countered few enemies, and obtained no booty, the
cattle of the Kafirs having been driven to a distance.
The accounts of the irruption of the Kafirs into
the Zuurberg are confirmed. A great number of
cattle and horses had been swept off from the neigh-
bourhood of the Sunday's River, and numerous fires
had been observed in the direction of the great Zuur-
berg and towards Oliphant's Hock. Two engage-
ments had taken place (as mentioned in yeaterday's
paper). in which five of the Ke.firs were killed, and
three of the colonists were wounded.

important intelligence received by this post :
