Cape of Good Hope papers of the 12th July notice

an interview which Go- vernor Sir Peregrine Maitland had had with the Chiefs beyond the Orange River. The result of this communication was, that the Natives had agreed to allow the Boers to settle in their country, provided, as stipulated by Sir Peregrine, they pay an annual quit-rent, half of which is to be given to the Chiefs, and the remainder to go towards the expense of establishing a resident Magistrate, and other officers to collect these rents when they become due. The dispute between the Griquas and the Boers is stated to have been settled by some such similar understanding.
