though just in itself, will nevertheless drag hard
upon the treasury at this time. These claims
ought to have been provided for and paid long

son urged their payment, in 1886; then the
treasury was overlooking with the proceeds OF
the sales of public lands.

FRENCH REpUBL1c.-There is still hope that
the constitution will be preserved, because the
enemies of the Republic are divided into irrec-
oncilable coteries and contending against each
other. They are obliged to appeal to the con-
stitution against the asgressions of their rivals.
1t is thus there is hope that the republican par
ty keeping aloof from such conspiracies will be
in the ascendahcy in the Assembly. The bill
to give the President another large donation OF
upwards of three hundred thousand dollars, to
corrupt the military and the people. if possible,
into the folly of making HIM Emperor, has fail
ed to be passed in the Assembly, there being
majority of one hundred and two against the
measure. We hope the cry will again be re-
peated everywhere in France, as it was in the
beginning of their last revolution, :" Vive la Re-
pubIique."

Rebellion at Cape Good Hope.

By late arrival at Boston, the Post has re-
ceived papers from the Cape of Good Hope, to
Feb. 4. from which it appears that the rebellion
of the kaffir chiefs against the English is pretty
general throughout the colony. and many Hot
tentots appear to have joined the war party
At Somerset, several planters were ordered of
by their se,rants, not slaves, and one of Mr..
Nourse's English servants was shot dead. At
King Williams Town, "a of Seyolos rebels
were killed in skirmish. in which the English
party lost two men and five horses. On the 22d
Jan an attack was daily expected at White
sea and Kamastone. Mapassa was not far from
Cradock, with 5000 followers, and it was the
intention of the Tambookies and Hottentots in
conjunction to destroy the place-all the SER
wants on the farms had joined the rebels. Ma
passa had ravaged the whole colonial border,
and many respectable families were in great
trouble, the houses having been burnt. All
the mission stations in Kafirland had been burnt
down, except the Chumie and Alice stations
An attack upon Graham's Town was anticipa-
ted. A kaflir force, said to be 5000 strong. was
repulsed at Fort Hare on the 23d of JAN, with
a loss of 100 men; attacks on Fort White and
Fort Beaufort had also been repulsed. Sir
Harry Smith, the governor, would soon be at
the head of 10000 men, and would probably
suppress the rebellion, though much blood
would be shed first The vindictiveness of the
native against the English is not likely to be
ever appeascd.
