Advices from the Cape Of Good Hope,
have been received in London, to the l4th
Of July. A report had just reached the
cape, that numerous wandering tribe,
or more properly nation, was on the
way south, whose course was marked with
the greatest cruelty and devastation. They
had advanced as far as Kaffre Land, which
borders the frontiers, destroying every
thing they encountered, sparing neither
man, woman, nor child: in fact, it is said,
they resemble flight of locusts. which
consume every thing they rest on. The
people composing this nation, are said to-
be of a much lighter colour than the native
Africans, and are supposed to be descen-
dants Of some Europeans wrecked on the
coast of Africa. They are well armed,
and much better equipped than the abo'
|rigines of the country. The Grosvenor
Indian hn was wrecked about forty years
ago, and many of the crew saved. These
are supposed to have mingled with pow
erful tribe, whence sprang this horde
The reports, however, were by some, sup
posed to be exaggerated.

anxiety. The substance of this bulletin
we have already published. 1t stated that
a detachment Of the troops came up With
a body of the rebels on the night Of the
18th. and dispersed them. On the l9th.|
they dispersed body Of 7 or 300, killing
and wounding from 10 to Is. On the GOTH
there we're three or four skirmishes, in
one of which six Of the rebels were killed, /,
end in another forty, besides many woun-|
ded. On the morning of the 2lst, de-
tachment, after lying on their arms thro'
the night, near party Of over 1900 OF the
rebels, and after unsuccessfully endeayou-
ring to persuade them to lay down their
arms, attacked and dispersed them with
the loss Of 100 or $50.
They visited the several estates as they
proceeded, and released the whites they
found confined. These prompt measures
shook the confidence of the insurgents,
and many Of them came forward to lay
down their arms. The governor then 49,
sued his proclamation offering full par
don to those who would deliver themselves
|up, with their arms and accoutrements
with 4S hours. This and other measures
produced the happiest effect. The well
disposed negroes, who had joined the in
surgents from compulslon or thoughtless-
mess, returned to their estates.
A council of officers was held. and twen-
ty-four of the most active and violent Of
the insurgents were selected, tried and
executed. A court martial was organised
in town, and the prisoners as they wers
brought in were brough to trial. twenty
