muauoes were apprehended and confined in
prison one day and then released. No Court
Of Justice is yet established at the Cape--but
it IS expected will be soon.

Boston. Oct. 26.


On the morning Of the 18th inst. MAJOR
General Brown was seized, at his resi-
dence in Brownsville, near Sacke's Har-
bour, with paralytie affection, which at
first caused great alarm to his friends,
bot we are happy to learn that the dis
ease has taken such turn as greatly to
relieve the approximations which were en-,
1er,aine5. II is not now apPrehended
that any serious consequences will ensue;
but it is to be regretted that his ILLNESS
will coniiae him to his house for some
time. The General, we understand, had
made all his arrangements for an lmme-
date removal to the seat of government,
where his Head Quarters are established
under the new organic 'tion of the army,
and his journey with his family was to
have been commenced within day or
two of the time, when the unfortunate
occurrence took place. /, is to be hoped
that he will soon be able to resume the
active exercise Vt his command.
