Important from the Cape of Good Hope
Movensnts or the British.
We have received the Cape 7ops Gazette to the
nth Of October.
The annexation of Natal, territory on the south
east coast Of Africa territory more than hall as
large as the whole Of Oregon-to the British colo
ny at the Cape of Good Hope, seems TO be very
prosperous and happy affair. The British, in this
measure, were probably convinced of tn, policy OF
the acquisition of more territory by the great efforts
made by the man with the white hat" 10 prevent
Texas from becoming part Of this Union.
1t appears that in that remote region, English
agents were still actively employed in selecting
more territory to annex. The following extracts
from the Cape 1oca Gazette indicate the policy and
purposes OF the British government in that section,
well as in all other parts Of the world 1t is pro-
badly the intention of that government to take pos
session OF the whole of Southern Africa which in
clndes all Caffraria, from lat IL, to their own Cape
This would make magnificent colony.
The philanthropy OF England, it will be seen, ia
mixed up with the dirty dollars of traffic, and on the
humbug of the former the poor natives of Natal are
ensaved.
The great value of this new acquisition is in its
capacity tor the growth Of cottonihe all-important
