CAPE MAY, a county of the state of New Jersey, U. S. lying between Delaware Bay and the Atlantic, and watered in the N by the Tuckahoe and its tributaries. It is level, and wholly alluvial. Pop. in 1830, 4,936; in 1840, 5,324. The cap. is Cape Mav, 93 m. S of Trenton. CAPE MOUNT, a territory on the Grain coast of W Africa, between the Gallinas river and Cape Mesurado, extending along the Cape Mount or Pissou river, which enters the sea a little to the W of the promontory of Cape Mount, in about S lat. 6° 43', W long. 11° 21' 9", and which has been found navigable for 100 m. from the sea. The country is represented as rich in corn, timber, palm-oil, ivory, and gold-dust; and the roadsted off the mouth of the river is said to afford good anchorage on sandy ground. At some distance inland the river assumes the form of a lake, in which there is an island to which the natives resort to trade with European vessels. A treaty entered into with the kings and chiefs of this territory, in February 1841, secures free and unrestricted intercourse with the native pop. to all English vessels; protection to all Englishmen landing, and the right to establish a British factory. The slave-trade is declared to be totally abolished, and all traffic in slaves to be punishable. Slaves, the property of natives not subject or tributary to the chiefs, or of white men, are not to be permitted on any account to enter the territory or pass through it. In the event of misunderstandings between natives and persons under the protection of England, the offending parties are to be delivered to the country to which they belong for punishment. The conditions of this treaty were confirmed in January 1846, by the king and chiefs of C. Mount, and Commander Jones, the senior officer in command of the British squadron; and, with a view to their more easy and certain enforcement, additic. les were added. In virtue of these the king anu efs engage to punish severely all persons subject to or within their jurisdiction who shall take part in the sale or export of slaves from C. Mount to foreign countries. No European or any other person is to be allowed to reside within the C. Mount territory for the purpose of carrying on the slave-trade. If it be found at any time that the slave-trade has been carried on through or from the territory of the chiefs of C. Mount, Great Britain may interfere by force to suppress the same; and British officers may seize boats and vessels engaged in carrying on the slave-trade. j island of Marie-Galante, in the Antilles, on the SE CAPESTERRE (LA), or LE MARIGOT, a town CAPESTRANA, a town of Naples, cap. of a cir- CAPE TOWN, the capital of the colony of the CAPENDU, a canton and commune of France, in the dep. of Aude, arrond. of Carcassonne.
