Eyre had secured 1,500 and Co'ant Napier 3,000 head of
cattle.

The casualities oz the part of the British were very
severe. Killed—Captain Fauna, 73rd, and 2 privates;
12th Lancers, 4 non-commissioned officers and 23 pri-
vates ; Rifles, 3 privates ; and 5 Cape Mounted Rifles.
Wounded-2 officers, 4 non-commissioned officers, and
9 privates. Total—filled, 38; sounded, 15.
This great sacrifice seems, however, to have secured the
submission of Mosheih, who, tie next day, the 21st of
December, sent to the camp the following letter :

" Thaba Ilosigo, Dec. 20th, 1852.
" Your Excellency—This day you have fought against
my people, and taker much cattle. As the object for
which you have comeis to haves compensation for boers,
I beg you will be satisfied with what you have taken. I
entreat peace from you ; you hare shown your power, you
have chastised,—let i be enough I pray you, and let me
no longer be considered an enemy of the Queen. I will
try all I can to keep ny people is order in the future.

" Your humble servant,
" MOSHESH."

Although the Gove.nor has received the submission of
Moshesh, he has rec.mmended the Sovereignty farmers
to organize themselvei on the commando system, to pur-
sue the cattle lifters, end, if necessary, to kiil them. The
result of this proclamation is not yet known ; it is expect-
ed to he successful. lut a meeting of resident househol-
ders was held at Bloor► Fontein, on the 4th of January,
when the unsatisfactory condition of the Sovereignty was
considered, and a petiion to the Queen in Council, or
Parliament, resolved

lat. 37 N., long. 16 W., the barque Ensign.
The screw-steamer Formosa was at Point de Galle, on
her way to Singapore from Australia, when the Indiana
left. Her engines having brokendown, she would be de-
tained some weeks. The screw-4eamer Calcutta arrived
at Mauritius on the 11th Decembe•, and left on the 19th.
The Nile, Nisbet, exrived at Macho on the 22d Dec. She
had been on shore at Waltair Point near Vizapatam, but
providentially got off again, and hal apparently sustained
no damage.

The Sydney steam-ship, with homeward mails
from Australia, had not arrived at tie Cape when the In-
diana left. She was looked for %try anxiously, as she
was long overdue. The Adelaide, vith the outward mails
for the Cape and Australia, of wl;op detention we heard
by the Severn, was kept at St. Vinceit 17 days before she
could get sufficient coal to proceed of her voyage.

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE ANDES AID AFRICA.

The screw steam-ship Andes, Capain Hutchings, ar-

rived on Tuesday night, with advice:from New York to

the Bth ; and the Africa arrived esti}, on Wednesday,
with advices to the 9th. She broight 4200,000 on
freight. The Senate, on the 7th, resumed the debate on
the Monroe doctrine. After one or teo speeches it was
again postponed. A message from thi President on the
present state of the negotiation betveen the United
states and Great Britain respecting the isheries had been
laid before the house. England is willitg, except in the
case of Newfoundland, that the Arnerhn and colonial
fishermen shall enjoy the same privileges so far as regards
the right to take, cure, and dispose of ih in the waters,
on the banks, and in the markets of bothcountries. The
negotiations for reciprocity in trade with Canada are said
not to be in a sufficient state of forwariness to warrant
the belief that they would be presented to the Congress
during the present session. A letter fron ITritish Hon-
duras confirms the report that the State d Honduras has
taken possession of the English settlenent at Limas.
They have appointed a commandant, and declared that
the State of Honduras will, at all hazards, and every sa-
crifice, continue to hold the territory.

ARRIVAL OF THE FRANKLIN

The United States mail steam-ship Franilin arrived off
Cowes on Friday, with advices from Nee York to the
12th ult., and kt 500,000 in specie for Havre. The com-
mittee on foreign relations had reported that the en.
croachments of British settlers in Central Anerica, either
with or without the consent of their government, is a
matter for adjudication between England and those-states ;
but that any attempt of the former power to extend its
possessions in that region would be a direct violation of
treaty stipulations with this country. Th. exercise of
actual dominion by Great Britain in that portion of
America would also be a question to which :his Govern-
ment can never be indifferent. Upon the whole, the com-
mittee consider it unnecessary to adopt any measures with
regard to the carrying out of the Clayton and Bulwer
treaty. The House of Representatives committee on the
question of reciprocity with the British North American
provinces had reported strongly in favour of that prin-
ciple. Advices had been received from California to the
15th Jan. The Ohio was on the voyage to New York
with a million and a-half of gold dust on freight. There
was much distress at the diggings, owing to toe continued
floods. President Cevalos, finding the Mexican Congress
refractory, played tire part of Cromwell, introduced a
large body of soldiers into the hall, and cleared it of the
members. who afterwards assembled and impeached the
President. President Cevalos had called a convention to
reform the constitution and elect a new President. He
had issued a proclamation opening the ports of Mazatlan,
San Blas, Tampico, Vera Cruz, and Carmago. Uraga
had been summoned to the capital.

ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA,

The Royal mail steam-ship Canada, Capt. Lang, which
reached the Mersey yesterday (Monday) shortly aftertnid-
night, brought advices from New York to the 15th,
and from Boston to the 16th ult., being four days later

4'217,000 in specie on freight, and the following 76 pas-

The Royal mail steam-ship Niagara, with the mails of
the 29th January, arrived at New York on the 13th inst. ;
and the America, with the mails of the sth ult., for Hali-
fax and Boston, arrived at the former port on the 17th
ult., both vessels having experienced 4 continuance of
boisterous weather.

The caloric-ship Ericsson left New York on the 15th
instant, on a trial trip. Her average speed was seven
knots.

The Amphitrite had arrived at Panama with 43'680,000
in specie.

Washington correspondence states that General Pierce,
President elect, had chosen Mr. A. G. Flagg, the present
comptroller of New York, to be Secretary of the Trea-
sury, General Cushing Secretary of State, Governor
M'Clelland for Postmaster-General, Commodore Stock-
ton for the Navy, Mr. Dobbin for the Interior, and Mr.
Davis for the War Department.
The steam-ships Northern Light and Uncle Sam had
arrived at New York with advices from San Francisco to
the 15th Jan., and 8448,931 in specie on freight. The
Golden Gate left San Francisco on the 15th with
51,744,300 on freight. The intelligence possesses a pain-
ful interest. Famine had done its fell work within the
snow-beleagured gorges of the mountains, and some of the
miners had actually died of starvation. The destitution
was not confined to solitary and scattered instances, but it
seemed to hare affected entire communities, in remote
disrricts, which had been rendered almost inaccessible
from a number of causes, the principal of which was the
inundation of the roads and the destruction of bridges by
the immense floods. A. favourable change in the weather
having occurred, the extreme stringency of the provision
market was beginning to relax as supplies arrived. The
weather in Oregon had been very severe, and the prices of
provisions was exceedingly high. Gold was scarce : the
quotations were 4317 25c. to 817 50e. per ounce.
Letters from Baltimore report the occurrence of a strike
amongst the railway navvies.

The Canadian Parliament resumed its sitting on the
14th instant.

There appears to be no end to the discoveries of gold
and other precious metals. It is now announced that
gold and auriferous quartz have been found in New Zea-
land, and a belief prevailed that the island teemed with
trersure.

According to some of the British West India papers, her
Majesiy's colonies are in a fair way of becoming depopu-
lated in consequence of the extensive emigration to Aus-
tralia.
