CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
The Lard Cochrane transprt. Lieutenant Jefferson. agent,
arrived front Ceylon on Tuesday, with ordnance stores and inva-
lids. She left Colombo oa the 4th of March, and the Cape of
Good Hope on the Stith of May. The following is an extract of

a letter by this vessel, dated Simon's-town, Cape of Good Hope,
May 46 :

" A new ordinance, on the subject of the press, has come out,
which subjects an editor and proprietor, &c. if convicted of libel,
for the Stu 'offence to a penalty of 3001. sterling, and for the so
cond, to banishment from the colony. Tou may believe this ordi-
nance is no popular sae. We have a large naval squadron in Si—
mon's bay—no leas than five in 'number—namely, His Majesty's
ships Maidstone Con &bulldog ;I'wersd,Comet, Falcon.
and R-poir. The Falcon is on the point of sailing to St. Helena,
to endeavour to fall in with a reported pirate. The Maidstone is
to sail in ten days for the 'Mauritius. There Is no nsertbant vex
set here at present : the Dutch brig Mara, Captain .Brandlight,
bound to Batavia, sailed from this port on the 24th inst We have
had, for some time back, very pleasant weather, and sonic
fine refreshing rains ; and there is every reason to believe
that we shall have a ne crop. Beef and mottos have already
much improved, although many thousands of rattle sod sheep have
died for want of grass, particularly in the new settlement of Albany.
Sir Lowry Cole and family have been living at this place for some
time past, and will remain until the middle of June. The Com-
modore gave up the Admiral's house to his Excellency, who has
commenced making a new road over Hottentot Holland Moun-
tains, which were almost impassable except by the waggons of the
.Dutch boor (i.e. farmer). which are drawn up. loaded, by front
no to SO win, nearly perpendicular ; and when any part of $ e
tackle gives way, it ia usually the case that the greater part of the
oxen are killed, and the waggon broken. The farmers in Ragland
have no idea how difficult it Is to manage a farm in this colony.—
It is reported our Governor has determined spas making several
other roads, if fonds as be found to cover the eripeases."
Accounts have been received of the aafe arrival of Ms Majesty's

THE EMPRESS JOSEPHINE.

The following, letter was 'written by Madame BE. ty-
IiMINOIS before her marriage with BoxsPstrit :
"They wish ow to marry again, my dear friend. MI my friends

Ame•already derived so much benefit would render you clear-
