INTENDED COLONY AT THE CAPE OF
GOOD HOPES

The following official circular has been issued from
the Colcmial Department, in answer to applications
for information on the subjects therein referred to :
" DoWning-street.
" reply to your letter of the I am directed
by Eatl Bathurst to acquaint you, that as the circular letter die-
t' ictly specifies the nature and extent of the assistance which
will be granted to individuals who may be allowed to proceed
as settlers to the Cape of Good Hope, together with the condi-
tions under Which alone that assistance can be given to them, it
is only necessary to refer you to that document' and to add that
nu proposal can be accepted which is not framed in conformity
with the offer of his Majesty's Government.
" With reference t your particular inquiries respecting the
mode in which the views of the settler may best be attained, I
have to acquaint you, that it is not in Earl Bathurst's power so
communicate to you that species of information, which can
most properly be afforded by the practical agriculturist, or ob-
tained upon the spot.
" The settlers will be located in the interior of the colony; not
far from the coast ; and in allotting to them the lands which
Government have agreed to grant to them, their interests and
their wishes will be consulted, and attended to as far as may be
consistent with the public interests of the colony.

" The settlers will be enabled to purchase a limited quantity
of agricultural implements in the colony, at prime cost ;althinigh
they are not debarred from taking with them a moderate supply
of these articles, as well as necessai les • and they will find no
difficulty in purchasing wed corn in thecolonv.
" The settlers will not had habitations ready for their re-
ception.
" The person under whose direction a party of settlers pro..
teed is at liberty to secure their services by any legal agreement,
into which they may think proper to enter.
" The new settlement will, of course, be governed according
to the laws in force in the colony.
" In conclusion I beg to obserde, that it must be left to the
persons taking out settlers to form their own opinion av to the
amount of the pecuniary means with which they should be pro.
vided, in order to support the persons placed under their direc-
tions, and ensure the success of their undertaking.
" I am, Sir, your most obedient servant"

Extract of a Letter from St. Helena, dated 29th
of May last :—" General Sir GEORGE and Lady
BINGHAM embark for England to-morrow on board
of the Regent. Report says, that he will soon re,
turn as Governor. One of the transports with the
20th Regiment has not yet arrived. Count BAL•
MAINE has returned here from the Brazils. We
know nothing of what passes in Europe, as all the
Newspapers which arrive are obliged to be forwarded
to Sir HUDSON Lows, who destroys them after pea
tusal. Even his own papers are nct exempted from
this, and whenever he condescends to lend one to
the Officers of his Staff, it is sent and returned un-
der a sealed envelope, in order to prevent the con-
tents being made known to any except the favoured
confidant. I believe that I omitted giving you an
account of the sham fight which caused so great an
alarm in-this island. Sir THOMAS READE, the Ad-
jutant-General, being desirous of gratifying Lady
Lowe with the representation of a naval night ac-
tion, gave directions to that effect to Captain WAI.I-•
CHOPE, of the EURYDICE. Accordingly, at about
ten o'clock at night, the EURYDICE, after a brilliant
discharge of rockets, blue lights, arc. commenced a
vigorous cannonade, which was answered by a brig,
and kept up with great spirit on both sides, to the
great admiration of such Ladies as were in the, se-
cret, and to the consternation of the inhabitants,
amongst others, of Admiral PLAMPIN, who not having
been consulted on the occasion, and imagining that
the Yankees were endeavouring to land in order to
carry off BONAPARTE, sent his secretary and the sig-
nal midshipman galloping down the steep side path
from the Briars, at the risk of their necks, to ascer-
tain what was the matter. Nothing could exceed the
confusion among the natives, the greatest part of
whom flocked to the alarm-posts, where they re-
mained until day-light, while the favoured few who
were duly initiated, quietly repaired to their accus-
tomed place of repose, laughing within themselves
"at the fears of their credulous neighbours. The fol-
lowing day an order was issued by Admiral PLAM.
Pm, to the squadron under his command, prohibit-
ing a repetition of night cannonading, without his
consent having been previously obtained. Nothing
further is known about BONAPARTE than that he is
on the island."
CORN-MARKET, MARK-LANE, AUGUST 13.

Our Market was very thin of Wheat this morning,
having had no arrivals since Monday; yet the wea.-
ther continuing fine, causes heavy sale, but our prices
remain the same as on Monday. Fine Barley conti-
nues to be inquired after, but there is little or no de-
mand for the inferior qualities. Oats fully support
Monday's prices., In Beans and Peas no alteration.

We have received the most gratifying intelligence
respecting the state of the harvest from all quarters.
In Herefordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire,
and Northamptonshire, the crops are abundant be-
yond all precedent. In Cheshire, Lancashire, and
Yorkshire, where the harvest is commonly three weeks
or a month behind that of those Counties which sur-
round the capital, grain of every description is much
forwarder than usual at this early period of the year.
