The Graham's Town Journal of August the 1st mentions a
new com- bination of contumacious Anglo-Dutch Farmers ; announced in a decla- ration from twenty-four of them, with Potgieter at their head—" that they are not bound by Colonel Cloete's treaty with the Government that. they are free and independent ; and that their social burgher govern- ment extends to the fall of the Great River." The Government were about to send a strong military force to quell this new revolt.
