" IN COUNCIL •' To all 111034: who Mull see or hear this read, greeting. Be it 4iu .W- nereas, we have taken into nur serious considera tion, and exps ience has shewn, that the laws and regu latithis which have hitherto existed in Netherlands India, with regard to entiepot and entrepot duties; also the trans-,hipping in the roads of goods subject to impost and export duties, have not had that salutary effect which was intended; also that the laws and ri gu lations successively framed are not sufficiently known, in order to give to the Public, by their distinctness and comprehensiveness, that entire confidence and security which we required to extend and establish a permit wnt general trade, on liberal principles, and p.irsicu- I fly to encourae the native and inter . colcnial trade —so IL is that we have thought fit to decree, and do decree as toliows: " Regulations for the entrepot and entrepot duties, as likewise for the trans-shipment of goods in theyurts of Netherlands India. " Article 1. From the date of the promulgation of the publicaton, all existing laws, regulations, orderseand li mita:ions, relating to the entrepot and entrepot duties, as also the trans-shipment of goods in the ports of Nether 14r.ds India are repealed, and of non•effect, and espe cially thi.se appearing by the regulation of the 28th August, 1818, for levying the impot t and export duties; by the instructions of the 30th October following, tc Watei Fiscals and Collectors of the same ; by the publi cation t I the 13th Oct. 1821, Bth Feb. and 9th Juiy, 1822, and by the dec ee of the 7th Oct. 1823, No. 11. and 2d Nov. 1821, No. 16, with the tariff appertaining thereto, and all other succeeding cudoettances, and mo difications, of whatever denoinination, till now in force in Netherlands India. *. 2. At all ports in Netherlands India, where the in teicsts of commerce will thereby be promoted, and wlicie 110 weighty reason to the contrary exists, entrepots shail be e)tablislied. All goods and merchandize whatwever, and from uheresoever brought, will be admitted into these entre pots, subject to the following regulations, saving and excepting gunpowder, muskets, and other ire-arms, in so far as the importati.n thereof is prohibited by the Proiamition of the 28th May, 1822. " 4. An entrepot ditty of one per cent. shall bel,!vied on the original invoice price of goods, or in the absence of such invoices, agreeably to the value at which similar goods were last received into entrepot, or where the c. , st cannot be so ascertained, on the declaration of the owner, or consignee, of the said goods, on oath, it re quited.

The proprietor shall be subject to no farther demand to: talc;ng charge of the said goods. " 6. The Govetnntent Officers in charge arc in no case answerable for good; lodged in entrepot, unless it c,r, be proved that the JefirAiicy, damage, or deter io su,taitted, is owing to embezzlement, negligence, or carelessness, on their paris. 7. No goods shall be received into, or withdrawn frr•nt entrepot, but on application in the usual form, established by the Custurn-house Regulations. "8. No goods shall be received into, or withdrawn from entrepot, but by whole packages; and further, no in from entrepot will be permitted under the vioue of one thousand rupees. " 9. Goods in entrepot can at all times be transferred f'om one name to another, while in the same entrepot: tl•ey can also, be at all times transported from one en trepot to anotl er, under bond, whether in the name of tl.e original impor er, or a new proprietor. In neither case shall any new entrepot duty be levied, it being only required to be once paid, to long as goods remain in entrepot without being imported or exported. " 10 On the importation of goods from entrepot, tl7ey shall be considered in the same light as goods iin• in ~diately entered from sea, and as such, subject to the toll import duties. No importation shall take place from entrepots in the ports or places where the ships or ve:sels, by which such goods at e brought, at e :recur ding to the established law, oily eetith:ti to enter the sans in entrepot, and not to imp(); t them. 11.

In all places where an euucpe.t t £11,1!., or may hereafter be established, it shall be permitte,l, to all ships, of whatever people and *who's, whei,ce curbing. or wheresoever bound, to emu . , and clear in, lor the purpose of landing goods in entrepot. " So shall it also be pet mined, to all ships and ves , el , without exception, to ship cargo either from eutte•pnt or otherwise, and from thence to clear out with the same, it being provided hereby, that the regulation of the 28th August, 1818, for levying the import and ti. post duties, likewise all others contrary to the above established tegulations i especially those apFealtng in tl.e publication of the l lth February, 1823, are in so far re pealed, and of no effect. " 13. Besides the entrepots already existing. at Batavia and lUlio , an 'entrepot shall immediately be established at Allier, in the residency of Bantam. . _ • 14. On goods already entered in enti elm, and still remaining there, the difference between the forms en trepnt duty levied thereon, and the duty of 1 per cent. as established by this publicAtion,shall.be refunded to those concerned. " 15. The Laws and Ordonnances now in force re• garding the trans-shipment of goods in the Roads, and particularly the regulation thereon appearing in the Ordonnanc of the 23th August. 1818, for levying the Import and Export Duties, likewibe in the publication of the 13th of October, 1821, are hereby repealed, re scinded, and of non-effect.

Com. 100 5 1: 576 86 al 36 Oar Readers will see with pleasure, in our columns of this day, the official reports of further successes in the Bnrmvse country, all tending to advance the great object of our endeavours—the final pacificati nof that important frontier, by a peace seemed on the best 'miscible basic, the inability of the enemy to disturb it. The intelligence from Calcutta, however, being down to the 12 h of June, sufficiently negatives the reports from that city of the 7th June, (im which out coe.tem • p-taties last week placed so much reliance) announcing the receipt 41 Trea;y of Braze, subject to the confir mation ol the General Goveinment. Our R•aders will remember, that we then demonstrated, ficom internal evidence, that however desirable, the conclusion of the war was not so sll n to be exrectvd. We have inserted in another column, the orders of the Batavian Govern I•Genetal fn throwing open the ports of the Dumb East India Nandi, to the adn.ission of golds in enttepot. This instance of a liberal' an.l wise policy is perhaps without p recedent in the colonial archives of the Netherlandets. Neither is It likely that it would 'have been now adopted if there had been any . alternative. Our R .aders are aware that the commerce of all the vast population of the E 'stern ArChipelago, including the Philippines, is chiefly carried on in junks and other native craft, by the wandering aquatic pedlars of China, who trade, as they alone are capable of doing, with the aborigines in detiil, an.l repair to Batavia and other ports for a mar kec. But such has been the blind fold system of the aitch Colonial policy, that every possible obstacle has been thrown in the way of this beneficial traffic. Th.: British East India Company therefore established the settleMent of Singapore, at the extremity of the peninsula of Malacca, as a free mart to the blipping of all nations, and its rapid course of prosperity, in con sequence, has in a tew years been most wonderful Sin gapre is now the emporium of the insular traffic, and we know that even in na:ive prod,:ctions it is likely to rival the most highly prized branch of Dutch mono poly, namely, the products of the Sirce Islands, the exclusive trade to which was still secured to them by 'Treaty. 'fiat Ilatavian Government has now, therefore, rather tardily, thrown open their ports, in order to share in the eutrepot trade (.1 . Singapore, from the benefits o: which they have so long wilfully excluded themselves. Brussels Papers to the 6th inst. reached us this fore noon, but they contain no news of importance. The institution of die Philosophical College at Louvain, has given great satisfaction to the Roman Catholic Clergy of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, who have pi esented the King of the NETHERLANDS an address of thanks. The Courier of the Meuse announces the suppression of the establishment kept at Liege by the Brethren of the Christian Schools ; they will be immediately re. placed, as they have been at Namur, by other teachers, appointed by the Government. 1 German Papers to the Ch ins , . reached us this fore noon. They contain some news from Greece which we subjoin ; it is at varia..:ce with the accounts from the Morea in the French Journals ; and indeed all the intel ligence from Greece is so vague and contradictory, that little reliance can be placed on it; two facts, however, are evident—namely, that though REDSCHID PACHA Las sustained many defeats, he still besieges Missolonghi, and that IBRAHIM PACHA is still,with considerable force, in the Morea. The Austrian Observer gives us the continuation of the journal of the siege of Missolonghi, from the Sth to 17th September. Nothing important had taken place. From the accounts of prisoners, it appeared that the Turks were in distress for provisions, that great despondency prevailed, and that many Albanians had deserted. The latest accounts state, that they were preparing to spring a mine under Bastion Bozzari, and intended at the same time to make another general attack, in which 2000 Turks, specially paid for the purpose, were to take the lead. Such was the informa tion given by a prisoner. The following are extracts from the 411semcine Zeitung, of the 2d instant: TRIESTE, OCTOZIR 24. We have news from Corfu to 7th October, and from Napoli di Rornaqia to 24th Sept. It appears from them, that notwithstanding the events at Missolonghi and in Acainania, which are so glorious for tl)e Greeks, Ibrahim P..cha, with his numerous troops, commanded by Frenchmen, continues to lay waste the interior of the Morea, to burn the villages which have scarcely arisen a4aln from the;r ashes, and especially t 9 destroy the Churches. The Greeks, who would willingly re present his marches arid countermarches as the effects of desperation, combat him only with guerillas of 100 to 150 men, because they ate unable to cope with French discipline and experience. They cannot, therefore, gain any decisive advantage over him, so long as he acts with large bodies of troops. But as they carry all provisions and necessaries into the mountains at his ap poach, he is said to suffer much from want, and his troops to be very sickly. A great impression has been made on the Moreotes by the ri , builJing of a Mosque in Tripolizza, immedi ately after his first entrance, which, according to the plan of a Fiend) architect in Ibrahim Paella's service, was hiilt provisionally of wcod. All Europeans serving with the Turks are cruely maltreated and murdered bpthem. The arrival of the American squadron at Napoli, and its friendly behaviour to the Greeks, of however li'tle advantage it m iy be at present, has made a very favourable impression on the people. OCTOBER 25.—8 y a vessel which has arrived in 16 days from Marathonisi (which was in the }rands of the Greeks), the news given in our Journal of the arrival of Ibrahim Paella at that place, is suffi ciently contradicted. It is said he has lately sust&neel some loss At Mistra, and that Tripolizza, with a garri son of 600 men, was on the point of surrendering to the Greeks. The dismissal of M. LEA from the Spanish Ministry is, as might be expecteJ, hailed with triumph by the fa. trade.' party in Sdaiii. Some excesses had been co n• mitted in the carital, as will be seen by the following extract from a private letter : MADRE D, Ocrost‘ 29. The moment that the di,g , ace of 'Lea was known at MAdrid, the Royalist Volunteers fl eked in crowds to the coffee-house of B 'trio Nerevo, and demanded that Royal songs should be sung is honour of his dismissal. The Commissary of the t:ict tieing informed of %ghat was going fur ward, imme 'lel y proceeded to the spot, 4nd'aideavuured to pt crtcat th.ir .iinsing, but his au ho- rity was disregardei, arld il.e ji.tiabance r.erious.
