POLITICAL OCCURRENCES, &c. 



Lettebs from Java of the 10th of Sep- 

 tember bring intelligence of an action hav- 

 ing been fought on the 2d bet\veen the 

 Dutch and the native forces, near Sama- 

 rang, in which the latter were successful ; 

 they had an immense superiority of num- 

 bers, the accounts estimating the native 

 army at 10,000 men, and the Dutch force 

 at not more than 300. As all residents 

 were compelled by the Dutch authorities 

 to bear arms, there were among the force 

 opposed to the insurgents a considerable 

 number of English merchants, several of 

 whom, we regret to state, have been killed. 

 The unpopularity of the Dutch Govern- 

 ment in Java is said to be so great, that 

 the native Princes are determined, if pos- 

 sible, to emancipate themselves from it- 



Later intelligence from Batavia, to the 

 27th September, describe the public mind 

 to have been much tranquillized on the sub- 

 ject of the fatal action near Samarang : a 



force which had been collected in the neigh- 

 bourhood had gone out to fight the na- 

 tives, who had fired without coming to an 

 engagement. Several of the native Piinces 

 are said to have offered their assistance to 

 the Dutch Government. 



Letters and papers from Rio de Janeiro 

 to the 14th November, brought by the 

 Hero, contain two documents of great in- 

 terest and importance, viz. a treaty for 

 regulating the commerce between Great 

 Britain and Brazil, combined with a full 

 recognition of the independence of Brazil ; 

 and a treaty for the abolition of the traffic 

 in slaves, wliich is to take place within 

 four years, or sooner, if possible. 



It appears by a declaration addressed by 

 the new Emperor of Russia, Nicholas, 

 that he attributes the opposition to him- 

 self, evinced by the refusal of one of the 

 regiments to take the oath of allegiance to 

 him, to revolutionary principles, rather
