Prom the London Morning Chronicle
by the arrival of the Essex, Captain Pixey, which
,eived the Cap 1orm Maa Of the 18th Of October.
The following summary of Intelligence from the
frontier is extracted from the Cape Toua Mad
GRAnAM's Town, oct. IL, 1851.
Since the date Of our last Communication every
thiBg hss been rem aIkaby quiet in this i'm mediate
neighborhood, and in fact, throughout the whole
4 Lower Albany. There does not appear to have
been any movement among tho troops, nor have We
yet been able to learn any further particulars re-
spectipg Colonel Michel and the patrol under his
orders. u. was, indeed, rumorcd yesterday that
kafrs were again making their appearance on the
kareigs, but we could not satisfactorily trace this
20 any good foundation.
The accounts received by the inland mail on
Thursday were, however. OF a very different cha
racter In the vicinity Of Somerset things are re-
presented rs being quiet, but along tho line Of the
Nancazsna, and more especially at Bavaan's river,
the enemy has been numerous, Troublesome and
successful. A large patty Of katrs and Hotten,ots
had attacked the krasli at Dods Pdogles, and had
swept OF everything in the shape of live stock
which be possessed. They had taken about 5.OO1
sheep aud 80 head Of cattle. They were pursued
and ovtrtsken by party OF about forty burgners,
NC but the kafrs, being about 100 strong, sho we'd
ight, and beld the pursuers at defiance. Tha lat
ter were obliged to retire, after having one man
(some accounts say tso) killed and one wounded
Gone OF the Aiaslies), and horse shot under Mr..
Lucas.
Accounts received in letters from shiloh and
Whittlesea ocsfrm the previous statements as to
the numbers OF the enemy there engaged in the as
sault on TarseYs lager, and the great loss Of pro-
perty sustained
Itis now reported that Sandilli is determined 70
make vigorous attack on Fort Hare. II is to be
hoped he VIII attempt this, as he viii undoubtedly
sustain defeat.
The news by the Kairland post is Of little i'm
portance. Bet there appears 10 be now little ques-
lion respecting the hostile tendency Of Krellis feel
