LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
GENERAL ORDERS. •

Head-quarters, King William's Town,
Jan. 24, 1851.

The Cominander-in-Chief desires to express his
admiration of the conduct of 120 soldiers of the gallant
Cape Mounted Rifles, under' thAt distinguished officer,
Major Armstrong, and of 150 of the intrepid Fingoes
under Mr. Tainton, who were 'sent out this day from
King William's Town to drive off a party of bullying
Kafirs. Scarcely were they well away from the town
whom they were surrounded by upwards of 600 of
Seyolo's and Anta,'s Kaflrs. Major Armstrong was able
to report his position, when 100 men of the Cape
'Mounted Rifles, one six-pounder gun of the Ro) al
Artillery, the 73d Regiment, and two batta-
lions of the levy,' the one having marched iu
yesterday, the other being in the' act of marching into
town, were sent under Colonel Mackinnon to support
Major Armstrong, as it was believed that a still larger
number of rebels wore near. This support was unne-
cessary, however rapidly rendered, for the C.M.R. and
the Fingoes had already given the enemy a glorious de-
feat, notwithstanding the disparity of numbers, many
having been killed with a loss on our side of
one trooper C.M.R. wounded and one Fingo
killed in the act of assisting the wounded
trooper. The two battalions of the new levy went into
the' field with a zeal and energy clearly demonstrative
of the good work they were able and willing to perform.

;From the Frontier Times (Graham's Town), Jan. 29.
Somerset, Jan. 22, 1851.

We are.in a state of much alarm, owing to so many '
Hottentots having turned against their masters, sad I
fear that there is a deep-laid rebellious plot throughout
the colony among the Hottentots. Messrs. T. Nourse,
Ainslie, and Bennet have severally been ordered off by
their own servants, in conjunction with other rebels,
One of Mr. Nourso's English servants was shot dead.
The rebels fired a volley at Mr. Nourse and his man;
the man fell, but Mr. Nourse escaped unhurt and re-
turned to the house, and again went out unharmed; on
seeing which, the rebels. did not again fire, but very
coolly told Mr. Nourse to give up his arms and property
and leave at once. One fellow; Adam Pardewagter,
said he was sorry for Mrs. Nourse and the children, as
they had behaved well to him. I far the rebellion
among the Hottents is general.
We expect about 100 Dutch farmers will come in from
Zwagers•hoek, who have been persuaded so to do by the
Rev. J. Pears of this place, as they were unwilling to do
so before owing to some misunderstanding of the pro-
clamation, upon which point they were put right, and
will immediately proceed to the rebels' camp, who we
hear muster altogether about 1,000 strclng.
