MUTINY AMONGST THE HOTTENTOT SOLDIERS. MURDER OF LIEUTENAN I' CItOWE. It is our painful duty to record another instance of disaffection amongst the Hottentot corps on the frontier, attended with the murder of an officer, and an attempt to destroy every Europran present. It appears that in consequence of some dissatisfaction amongst the detachment of Mounted Rifles at Fort Peddle, Ensign Frazer was ordered thither with a relief party. Having executed this duty, he was returning to head quarters, and on his march stopped for the night at the post called Frazer's Camp. The detachment under his charge consisted of twenty-one men ; and these, as he supposed, had retired, after the close of day, to rest. About ten o'clock, however, as Ensigns Frazer, O'Reilly, and Crowe, with Mr. Cope, of the Commissariat, were seated in-doors, three shots were fired at them, one of which mortally wounded Lieutenant Crowe, passing through his body, and then striking with considerable force Mr. Frazer, who sat near him. This was followed by a volley, which was fired from the direction of the stables by the whole of the mutineers, but fortunately without effect. Ensigns O'Reilly and Frazer instantly sprang out of doors, and were so energetic—especially the former—in calling for the assistance of the troops belonging to that post, most of whom had retired to rest, that any further effusion of bkod was prevented. (From the South African Advertiser, March 10.) We are happy to state, that the mutineers (Cape Regiment, sixteen  in number), who, after having murdered Lieutenant Crowe, had fled into the bush, or into Cafferland, have been nearly all apprehended. (From the Graham's Town Journal, March I.) Cafferland is in a most unsettled state. Faku and Capaai have made an inroad westward as far as the Bashee, and have laid waste the country for a considerable distance.  (From the Zuid Afravan, March 9.) We have been informed, on good authority, that his Excqency the Governor 1611 shortly leave Cape Town for the unsettled frontier districts, and that orders have been issued .for two companies of the 97th regiment to be kept in readiness to leave this for Graham's Town, in case of emergency.  Brussels and German Papers of the latest dates have been received this morning. It appears that the movement of the French troops on the Belgian frontier has alarmed Prussia, who has put her garrisons in motion with a view to support the authority of the Diet. The Members of the Town Council of Brussels have resigned in a body, because the Government has declined to indemnify the city for the losses it sustained during the Revolution which placed LEOPOLD on the Belgian Throne. The Hamburg Correspondent has letters from Hanover of the 9th, stating that the electors of that capital have agreed to return a Member to the Second Chamber, under the following resolutions, which they request may be entered upon its journals :  " First, that it is by no means their intention to renounce by this election the rights which have been secured to the country and the several Corporations by the Constitution of 1833 ; secondly, that they shall consider the Conssitution of 1833 and its enactments as legally existing, till something else shall have been legally substituted for it by mutual agreement; and, lastly, that they expressly reserve to themselves all the means of asserting all the rights justly acquired according to the Constitution of 1833, either alone, or in concert with other Corporations of the country."  These resolutions are signed by all the Magistrates and Elders of the city of Hanover. Their adoption by such a body has greatly alarmed the Government. The followi►,g are extracts :
