marched. Lat evening / was at our Con-

Of this bloody franfattion than any L had be-
fore received; the plans of the iniarecnts were

he failed, the minds of the people at the Cape
were 10 a degree tranquilized and the re-

had been fhot, drowned, &c. and that il was
fuppoied they had previouny maascred about
SO white people.
