CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We have received accounts from the Cape of
Good Hope to the sth August. They bring the
gratifying intelligence that the Caffre war had
been completely terminated by tlie capture or de-
feat of the hostile Chiefs, and that perfect tran-
quillity was restored on the whole frontier line.
The following are extracts from the Cape Town
Gazette of an older date :
" CAPE TOWN, JULY 3.—The accounts from
GrAham's Town 'reach to the 20th of last month,
to which time the CAffres continued quiet.
The transports, with the remainder of the 38th
and 540, detachments, arrived at Angola Bay
01, the 'l7th, where the greatest exertions were
Immediately made for landing the ammunition
and stores, in order to their proceeding to join
Lieutenant Colonel NVlLLsniae, without loss of
tine : one hundred and twenty waggons have
Leen employed on this orcasion. As soon as this
tt.o nvoy leaches Graham's Town,' the assistance
Intended for the frontier will be completed. The
commandos from all the districts (Tulba2b ex,
"Pled) are over complete ; we believe the last
division front Tulbagh to be on its road, but the
operations of the trontier will lint he delayed
fur this tardy detachment. The last division of
the horses for the re-mount arrived in the Large
Xloof, on the morning of the 23t1, in good order.

A strong derachnent of the 54th Regiment
1149 been lett at the town of Ilitenhage, for its
protection.
•` From communicationc which I have ha l with
tile'Caffre people from Caffre-Dria, it seems tliat
the Chiefs expect to he attacked, and that they
have It force in readiness toienter the Colony as
soon as they shall have ascertained that our troops
have moved. Upon a rumour to that effect lately,
they threw forward several detached parties,
which cetired upon finding their information to
have been incorrect.
" Accounts from the Orange River state, that
sntlae Corannas had arrived there from Malipietje,
with information that COENRADD BUTS, his wife,
Children, slaves, and people had all been mur-
dered by, the Boorapoolaans. lie was moving to
the Eastward, and it is believed that be was way-
"id and destroyed by order of. the Chief MATIBLE.
Ilive account comes from the Red Caffres ; hut;
although it has been repeated through several
channels, it appears to require confirmation."

„ he County Aleeiiiig at Yolk, to consider of

[From the Nero Times.]

The great body of respectable inhabitants of
this parish have within these tew lays been sign-
ing a Loyal Address to ihe Prince Regent, ex-
pressive of their determination to support the
Constitution and Religion of the Country against
the seditious and blasphemous attempts of ill-de-
signing Inca..

The mischievous spirit which appears to he
every whLre abroad, could not lose this oppor-
tunity to•shew itself, but must issue placards and
hand-hills in all directions, to assemble its devo-
tees for a repetition of the usual unwarrantable
libels on the constituted authorities of the realm.

A Meeting was summoned under the plea of
taking into consideration the recent occurrences
at Manchester, and the Chair was to be (alien at
12 o'clock, by " a Gentleman of Respectability."
(Jt course, anxious curiosity reigned throughout
the parish to learn the name of the respectable
Chairman, and the intentions of the aceplialoos
group.

- As the clock struck 12, two dust carts were
ushered Oil to the Green by Mr. John Lee, night-
man, and were made the foundation of the stage,
which was to be dignified by the Orators of the
day.
Considerable delay occurred before the arrival
of the chosen few, occasioned, it is reported, by
the absence of the Treasurer, who-had unexpect-
edly left his post.
At two o'clock, however, the carts were occu-
pied by the Committee, viz, a Tallow-chandler, a
Tailor, two Ushers out of place, All Itinerant
Preacher, the Owner of a book-stall, and one or two
others.

The important business of the day .was briefly
opened by the respectable tallow-chandler, as
Chairman ; the purport of the Meeting wos more
fully elucidated by the Tailor, and the Resolutions
were read by one of the Ushers, who is the near
relation of a green-grocer in the parish.
The business of the Meeting would have been
vet y soon concluded, but tor the verbose diarrhoea
of the Itinerant Preacher (Mr.ffoole or Toole, or
some such name), who exerted his stentorian longs
to the best of his abilities in the cause. He had
the nualificAtion however to.observe, that with all
ais efforts he could ❑ot attract the attention of two
parties on the Green, one of which %vas playing at
bowls, and the other at cricket during the wboie
oration ; and the speaker, unfortunately, excited
a general disgust among the old folks, both
men and women-, in the conclusion of his
harangue, by advising th,:m to abstain from pot-
ter, tea, tobacco and snuff, because they Would
thereby dimmisn the revenue, and bring the Mi-
nisters to their senses.

This account may appear ridiculous, but it is
in no wise exaggerated. There were scarcely a
score of Reformers assembled; anti of course, the
precautionary measures of the resident Magistrates,
and the valuable aid of the regular police,were ren-
dered altogether unnecessary. in short, after an
hour's amusement, the pat ty returned to the house
of the talkw, -cLan :ler, and thus ended the busi-
ness of this momentous day.
Itichwoud,-00. 8.

P. S. The Committee dined with their respect.'
able Chairman, becan3e every publican in the pa-
lish (to their credit be it spoken) refused to, take
them in.
