We have seen a letter from the Cape, dat-
ed the 9th September. Sir Davidfjah'd was
well, the garrison healthy, in high spirits &
in the very highest state of discipline that
any portion of the British army cueld be in.
In addition to the force already detailed, as
sent to reinforce general lieresfoid, sir Da-
vid Beiird has lately forwarded the 47th re-
giment, and two companies of the 54th, to
him. General Beresfbrd's force is now ve-

all the country. At the Cape they are dai-
ly looking for accounts of tile fall of Mon-
te-Viedo.
At present the Cape is well garrisoned.
They have a detachment of the 20th dra-
goons ; the 21st dragoons about 900 strong;
