THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We have received papers from the Cape OfP6/
Hope to the 11th November inclusive. The
is highly satisfactory. The intelligence frond
frontier is entirely of a pacific character, ri°,4o

'We subjoin extracts
From the Graham's Town Journal, of Nov. 1'
Our intelligence from the frontier is very scantnr
King William's Town everything appears to 19"
quiet.
Our letters speak hopefully of peace being Ina—fir
with the present efficient and judicious system oiA
tier defence, and the prospect of the German
being added to our force.

As far as we can judge from report and cod
fame the danger from the Kaffirs is over for t 1 -d
sent. The difficulty of preserving order during teo
changes in their condition involved in the progri/
civilisation remains a 3 it was. A strong military tor
a vigilant police, strict administration of justioe)ooe
and merkets, are the instruments which Goletidi
wields directly for this purpose. Intercourse
civilised neighbours, missionary institutions, cliftioro,
and schools, supply the influences of permanent,arecieo
tion. All these are now in a state of great eru`
and all working together in perfect harmony.
The intelligence from the frontier is much of a -,io
nature to previous accounts. The Kaffirs were Pe ffl
be sowing, and the Slambies were making 105
chases of corn from the Fingoes.

A correspondent in the Free State, writing oclt),

farmers returning quietly to their homes. There're
to be now a probability of the frontier remaini4
