the brilliancy OF the British Arms. BY the arrival
of papers from the Cape of Good Hope, to the 18th
of June learn from the official report of the
handing officer of the British troops at Port Natal,
that the detachment despatched from the Cape To
suppress the ourages of the Beers of that settlement
has been defeated with considerable loss. Having
received an nsolent requisiton to withdraw the Bril-
fish troops from Port Natal which was succeeded by
the lifting" of considerable number of cattle be-
longing to them. Captain Smith, of the 9th Regi-
ment, the officer commanding, determined to attack
the camp of the Beers at COngclla where they had
collected in great force The insignihcance Of the
detachment, however, as compared with the force
to which it was opposed and the non-arriva of the
boat containing howzer and artillery officer in
time, compelled Capt Smith to make the attempt
der great disadvantages. These, added to other
casualties compelled the British detachment to retire
with considerable loss The Dutch encampment
was 5000 strong when the troops arrived and after
wards obtained reinforcement of 300 men. The
Beers said to be able to muster 1000. The de-
tachment at the disposal of Capt. Smith consisted
only of subaltern, and IL privaes of the Royal Ar
hllery l subaltern, sergeant and privates OF the
Royal Sappers; 2 captains subalterns sergeants
and 100 rank and file of the 9th Regiment; and
mounted orderes Of the Cape Rifles. We regret to
learn that Lieutenant Wyatt, r. A., killed, and
the two captains of the 9th severely wounded
