EXTRACTS.

THE COLONY OF THE CAPE.

BY the capture of the Cape of Good Hope and of Ceylon, the British Language is now heard at the fouthern extremities of the four great continents or quarters of the globe. Three of thefe have fubmitted to the power of its arms; and tue fpirit of commerce

and venturous induftry has directed the attention of its enterprifing fubjects to the fourth, on the fmall ifland of Staaten, at the extreme point of tlement has been formed for carrying South America, where a kind of feton the fouthern whale-fifhery. Of thefe extreme points, the Cape of Good Hope cannot be confidered as the leaft important, either with regard to its geographical fituation, as favourable for carrying on a speedy intercourse with every part of the civilized world; or to its intrinfic value, as capable of fupplying many articles of general confumption to the mother-country; os as a port folely for the numerous and valuable fleets of the Eaft India Company to refresh at; to affemble in time of war for convoy; to re-establish the health of their fickly troops, worn down by the debilitating effects of expofure to a warm climate; and to feafon, in the mild and moderate temperatures of Southern Africa, fuch of thofe from Europe as may be destined their Indian fettlements.

for fervice in the warmer climate of

"In the carly voyages undertaken by the British merchants trading to the Eaft Indies, the Cape was always made the general rendezvous and place of refreshment; and it was then confidered of fuch importance, that a formal poffeflion was taken of it by two commanders of the Company's King James of Great Britain, a period fhips in the year 1620, in the name of of thirty years antecedent to the eftablithment of the colony by the United Provinces." P. I.

"No further notice feems to have been taken by the British government of this poffeflion at that time; nor does it appear that any kind of interference or contravention was made by it when the Dutch Eaft India Company fent out Van Reibeck, in order to form a fettlement there in the year 1650. Till this period the English, the Portuguefe, and the Dutch had indifcriminately refrethed their crews at the Cape. The Portuguefe, who were the firft difcoverers of the fouthern extremity of the continent of Africa, at leaft in modern times, established no fettlement nearer to it than the banks of Rio Infanté, now the Great Fith River, and boundary of the colony to the caftward, which is nearly 600 miles from the Cape of Good Hope; and
