11 .41 , ~' 4 h , ! - !~ . . SUMATRA. PROTEaT OF SIR THOMAS RAFFLES, LIEUTENANW ' GOVERNOR OF FORT MARLBOROUGH, AGAINST THR AGGREaSIONS OF TUE DUTCH IN THE INDIAN SEAS. (Concluded from our Paper of yesterday.) Captain SAlmond h tying ascertained that the Sul tan hai in. no. way c munitted himself ta.thn.Netber lanJs tiovernmeNt by any legal act, the following are the Articles of the Treaty entered into on the 4th • &Jul); - • • - TfIS is a solemn Treaty this day entered into between his Highness Itatoo Acbrned Najumudin, Sultan of Palembang, on the one side, and Captain Francis Salmond, as the represents• tin of the lion. Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, Lieutenant-60- ventor of Fort Marlborough, on the other : _ AIITiCLE Num.—His Highness being desirous of the pro tection of the British Government, and of excluding all other European Nation; from his dominions, the Lieutenant-Gover nor of Fort Marlborough hereby agrees to furnish such military establishment as shall be adequate. " AITTCLI Swaim—Theltan, on his part, agrees to re ecive the Mid military establishment, and to provide for the ex penses thereof. " Signed, sealed, and delivered is duplicate, at Palembang, this 4tk day of July, ME." It may not be unnecessary to remark, that the first application of the Sultan for the advice and assist ance of the Lieutenant-Governor of Bencoolen was received on the.l7th of June e that on the 21st June his Highness was informed that the British Govern ment would reader,him the protection required; that in the interim, and while informed of the prelimi, naries between Palembang and Bencoolen, the Dutch Commissioner commenced his measures of coercion; apti that on'tl;6 4th of July the engagemebts between the Court of Palembang •auck the Lieutenant-Gover not Of Benciiolen were confirmed and proclaimed by -.the hoisting of the British flagon the walls of the Fort, In explanation 'it 'would appear; that on the. 24th of dune, only ten days previous to the arrival of Captain Salmond, and while it was publicly known tha a ttitish Agent was on his way to. P alembang, rafts and provisions having been provided by the Sultan. for the convenience of the party on their way duwn the river, the unfortunate Sultan was corn.lelled to resign his authority, and to deliver over his Palace. On that day the Dutch Commissioner states that he obtained seals and signatures to a Tetetty, which nominally transferred all authority to the Dutch ; but it is not proved in what manner the same was obtained. That they were obtained in an unlawful manner—that is to say, ei et menu, and by intimidation, cannot be denied; and, indeed, the let ter from the Sultan above quoted, and the act of his immediately hoisting the British Rag. would be sttffi cient evidence, were not the details which could be produced conclusive on this head. The Sultan is un derstood to be at this moment a close prisoner ; and roi to intreduceinto . this paper any particulars which might be construed into a desire to lower the cha racter of these proceedings below a fair standard, it may be sufficient to insert the folloWing extracts from the Commissioner - 1 statement, in order that it! may be .contrasted With the evidence abOve adduced: " I,have thO honour to acknowledge the receipt of your official lettet - , dated Fort Marlborough, the 24th of June .1a; t. ff the inforination which has:reached you With regard to the measures I was pursuing at Palerni. bang, under the authority ol :the Cortimissioners- General, has been' ablh-tertailteloue surprise and as tonishment, it was on the other hind with no less degree of regret atut.consternation th'et twas affected on the perusal of your letter, and. on.heing apprised of the flirther measures_. yen had detitmined neon, if vent will allow me to say, on such ilight foimdation. " The natives, Ott - whose reports.enly every infor mation . &pended that could have reached Fost Marlborough at the date of your di-loatchcs, left Pa lerebang at a period when I myself had not yet ar rived at that place; when na overture.; of any nature find as yet ht-en made to the Court of Palembang ; when the military force stationed at Palembang was still far below tire usual rate of that garrison ; and When, of cOnlequeece, every intelligence sent off with revard to the demands I had to make, and to the mi litary force I should station there, could only be con jecteral and premature, and naturally would be ex aggerated and erroneous. ". So they have in fact proved to be. The mili tary force even now collected at Palembang, falls short of trhat a usual garrison ought to be, and does certainly not exceed the limits of a mere protection to a Settlement where not a single entrenchment, nor place of safety is to be found. " If, therefore, the usual means of self-preserva tion have been able to raise the apprehensions and anxiety of a pusillanimous Court, it is a mere acci dent, not to be imputed either to me or to the higher Powers under whose authority I was acting. " Nut did any instructions say to use threats or military force against any of the Sultans. " it was not these warlike means that were de pended upon for the success of my mission. A hope for this success was raised on a better foundation—. on the nateral force of truth in convincing the Sultan 'ap Mcedin of his wrongs, and of the acts of hos tility which he had committed, or allowed to be com nikted, by his subjects, as well on our own territories, ae on those of our Allies, and on the irresistible in fluence which the principles of a liberal and humane AdmisSiration would have on the hearts of all the , people of. Palembang. as soon as they Were tendered to them;';in lieu of that state of bondage and oppres sion to which they had been degraded by the unwar rantable conduct.of their Sultan, Neya Moedin, and his adherente.. . __ • And, instead of threats and warlike force, I have, the greatest satisfaction to acquaint you, that it was' by mere peaceful• and persuasive means, not only Without drawing a sworci,Qr. firing a shot, but with out a single • atfi ay, without any individual being hurt, or °Vett restrained or curtailedip his personal tights or liberty, that I was fortunate enough to esta blish a new state of affairs in this country, and to obtain 'the free assent of both the reigning and tie Ex-Sultan to arrangemeuts which, according to.my Own view of the subject, aud.under the orders from w: 4 ieia I acted, most certainly I had a right to make; and from the operation of which, it ;nay be expected, that, the whole population of. Palembang, from the very low .state of want and oppression to which.they have reduced, will make a rapid stretch towards enjeinwnt of ,ave and plenty, and of • all those rights and comforts. %slick dependant on a state e personal security and. civilization. 44 It was by the warlike tatmours•of your military dgtachn t ients deacending from the mountains that my messengers were stopped on their way, going up to the . poor inhabitants of the country, to announce to them the abolition of their'Tslcur and Tookon, of every kind of forced labour and delivery of produce, and, above all, of the abominable cuitom of enslav ing not only individuals, but whole families and ge nerations of them, fox the trifling amount of a civil debt. But how could it be the fate of these humane principles to be stopped in their course by a friend to humanity, by excellence ? How could the patron of these principles rise up in opposition to the ase• complishment of his own system, and the Lieutenant Governor of Fort Marlborough oppose, what it was, and ever will be, the glory of the late Lieutenant- Governor of Java to have first proclaimed ? " I am sensible, Honourable Sir; you would want here to put a stop to my argument; you would remind me that it is on a right by contract that you found your claims, aryl *pointing to the final clause of the Treaty you allude to, propose your system, that the . Sultan of Palembang was an indepeadent Prince, under the protection of the British Government, whose former rights were to be left untouched, even should humanity suffer by it. 44 As it seems that on these points a difference of opinion has existed between the Commissioners-Ge neral and the late British Authorities on the Island of Java, it perhaps might be my duty to withhold from entering on the subject, ant confining myself 'to the orders under which I am bound to act,' refer your for explanation to the higher Authorities at Java ; but considering the decisive measures you already have entered upon, and the'circuitous way by which auy explanation could reach you from' Java, I will take it upon myself to enter into some explanation, though always with due deference. and, save the different 'view my superiors might take of the subject, • • IP' • C." • Of the tone in which the Netherlands Government are determined to maintain their system, some idea ' may be formed by the following additional extract' from the letter of the Commissioner at Palembang : " Of the facts constituting Such a breach of faith . (on the part of the Sultan), they, the Netherlands Government, are naturally as an independent Power, the sole judge in these quarters of the earth, and it would be highly improper to enter into any justifi cation of them but before their higher Authorities at home, who have a right to call for it, and to whom a reference lays open on the subject." Of the act of publicly arresting the person of the British Representative, after that Officer was publicly accredited and recognised in that capacity, by the Dutch Commissioner, and while he was sleeping un der the protection of the British flag, hoisted by an Independent Prince in alliance with Great Britain, there can be but one opinion ; but so little is an act of the kind now thought of by the Dutch Authorities,; that the Commissioner, though voluminous in his correspondence on other points, does not even coade-, scend to offer an explanation, much less an apology, on this. Whatever measures might have been found necessary for the support of the authority that thus had so unjustifiably been wrested from the hands of an unfortunate Prince under the immediate protec tion of the British Government, it is to be regretted that nothing less than open insult and the degrada tion of the British character in the eyes of the natives, and this on a spot where British valour had so re. ' cently been so conspicuous, and where Dutch grati tude was so imperiously called for, would have been resorted to. . Justly indignant at conduct so unjustifiable on the part of the Representative of a nation at peace and friendship with Great Britain, and desirous to check the progress of a system r" which it is to be feared this will not br found a solitary instance, I do hereby , most solemnly and publicly pi otest,, rust—Against the whole of the proceedings of the Nether lands Government at Palembang, as unjustifiable, and in direct violation of the rights and treaties which It is incumbent on them to respect : by which proceedings, not only the character of the British Government is seriously involved, but its proceedings wish regard to Banca rendered questionable. Secondly—l protest against the general proceedings df the Netheriards C;overnment in disregarding the solemn Protest s made by the British Authorities before they quitted Java, and do dechr‘ null and void all arrangernenti not provisional in their nature, which may have been made in defiance of those Protests. - - - - Thirdly—l further protest against any Military force being eat by the Netherlands Government to any place within the Archipelago, with which the English are in alliance, and carry on trade, in which the Dutch Bag did not actually B y on the Ist of January, 1803, with the exception of such as ;flay have beets in the charge of the British Government at that date, and which may be regularly transferred. Lastly—And in the strocgest manner I protest and appeal against the insult offered to the Representative of the British Government, in the arrest of the person of Captain Salmond, the British Agent at Palembang, holding the Representatives of the Netherlands Government in these seat responsible for all the acts of aggression and insult connected therewith, and which will hereafter be made known in another place, unless prompt and adequate satisfaction is given. In conclusion, I deem it necessary to state, that the object of this Protest is not directed against the minor measures of their Excellencies the Commis sioners-General, nor of the Commissioner at Palem bang, nor is it intended to affect the personal good understagding and harmony which happily prevails.' I have reason to respect and esteem them. It is against the political system which', as Representatives of the Netherlands Government, they have felt it' their duty to adopt, that I protest; a system by , which the interests of the Netherlands Government appear to be exclusively considered, without the least reference being had in how far the hono ur and interests of the British Nation may be involved thereby. TO such a system it is incumbent on me to oppose the rights and duties of the British Go vernment ; and it is to be hoped that when the cha racter and interests of both Nations are duly con sidered and deliberated upon by higher Authorities,' such a liberal policy will be resolved upon as will at: once put an end to the confusion and irreguhrhies which must continue, and even increase to anerarm-, ing extent , while the present system is alloWed to be. persevered in.

"'nom SULTAN ACMMED. , NAJUMUDIN, OF PALEMBANG, TO TILE LIEUTENANT., • e. GOVEBSOR OF BENCOOLEN. " Captain Salmond" on his arrival at Palembang, had imnie diatelran interview with the Sultan, when he presented tn him a letter, sad a Sag that accompanied it, (rain the llonouraide the Lientenanf-Governor of Fort Marlborough, which were re ceived with the greatest jay, and with every mark of respect. " The flag was then ordered to be hoisted, and a letter sect by Captain Salmond to Mr. Muntingbe. It is not known vrhat may have been the nature of the eontmunication thus made, but Mr. Muntingbe sent to call Captain &Wend, and to coder him to pull dawn the British Sag, which had been hoisted by the Sultan. Captain'Salmobd replied, that be dared not pull it down; and after this, not to cuter into details, then cline a party of Detail soldiers, together with a party of Palembang people, favourable to the interest of the Ex-Sultan, and also of Slaks, to thy number of at least 700 in all, by the two latter of whym the residence of the young Sultan was surrounded by order - of the Dutch, so as to present . all communication with him.t " At sunset the flag, according to custom, was ordered by the Sultan to be lowered and taken in. He himself was theft confined by the •Ilutch, and no egress or ingress an any account :permitte, and early the following morning the Bag-staff was cut down by the Dutch. 1 . - " The Sultan's place olcoofinement was a small apartment ' on the eastern side of the new fort, which did not admit of mote persons being accommodated there than ten petty °lacers, who were ill that were with him, the rest of his people being obliged to remain outside. Captain Salmond and those with Min were taken by Mt. Huntingho, at four o'clock in the ,morning, and have now been sent off direct to llatavia in a small vesseL " The persoes who were deputed by the Sultan to meet and receive Captain Salmond on his arrival at Pa'cmbaug, viz. three Pangcrangs, a Tummungung, a Range, and a Demang, were ail wired and placed under arrest within the Dutch entrenchment. " The Sultan still continues a close prisoner, and no commia.' nication is permitted between hint and any one outside. The only persons allowed to pass in or out of the piece wlire It • is confined, are some women, who are employed to fetch water and buy provisions for him, and it is only at stated times that this indulgence is granted, and fur a very limited period that they are allowed t o be absent. 1 1 Such is the inconceivable state of misery and distress to which the Sultan has been reduced. " Trusting, however, to the benevolence and compassion of the British Authority at Bencoolen. and Ermly relying on as sissance from thence, he has peaceably borne with and sub mitted to all that has befallen him. " Night and day he anxiously. hopes that the Honourable the Lieutenant-Governor will afford bins speedy relief; for so great is the misery and shame he now feels. that he cannot keep kis eyes dry." . *. =POEMS, OF a WA IMCGELV3 AND PALL/DMA, WAXEN AT roat• WARLIIIO .

Similar precau tion was necessary to enable the Deponents and their follows?. to get safely out of Palembang; guards and spies being stationed above the town to stop and eaamine all pertains passing up and down; and for this purpose they-withdrew one by one, to au appointed placeof rendezvous In the w o ods, and thence depart lug together, travelled by stealth across the country, and by k difficult and circuitous - rout, reached Fort Marlborough in. ' days:—The letter, which, from the hand-writing, appears to thorns to have been written either by the Sultan himself, or his brother, the Pangeran Depati, who was in confinement with blell,wat delivered to them by the female already mentioned, With htjunedons from the Sultan to convey it 'without delay to the Llenttnant•Glovensor of Fort Marlborough, and on no ac- Mtn to let it fall Into the bands of the Dutch or any of the ' Ex-Sultan's People. It was web understood that Mr. Muntinghe first of all en deaSoutel to obtain the cosgut of *Mg Sultan to arrapgentents that were favourable to the Interests 'of the Ex-Sultan, and pre judicial to his own, but of which they do not know more of the particulars than that the Sultan was to have a monthly allow ance of one thousand dollars, five coyangs of rice, and ore bun deed gantangs of salt, and be paid the gross sum of 25,000 dol lars, to repair and improve the old palace for his accommodation. That the Sultan positively refused to enter into any such agteentent, on which Mr. Muntinghe acted as he has done, in opposition to the wishes, and notwithstanding the remonsuan. ces of the Sultan; that they are perfectly sure the Sultan **weer put his hand or seal to any Treaty or written Document what ever, connected with the measure lately adopted at Palembang : on the contrary, be invariably told Mr. Muntinghe that he could not,. and would not accede to any arrangements proposed by him; that he had nut the power to resist his acts, and could not pre.: vent him front doing whatever he pleased with himself and the country, but that he would not voluntarily resign any of his rights or authority. He refused to move out of the Palace, although pressed in the mast urgent manner to.do so, and it was not till after the I)utch frigate and other vessels were placed opposite to it, and he was told that it would positively be battered down about his ears, and preparations were apparently making to carry the threat into effect, that he agreed to move into that part of it where he is now a prisoner, still refusing to quit it altogether. The Regalia were not got from hint till -after the departure of Captain Salmond for Batavia, and many threats had been used on the past of Mr. Muntinghe, to take them by force, and semi him to Batavia. The Ex-Sultan, in consideration of being again placed upon the 'Throne by Mr. Muntinghe, agreed to make over to the Dutch the whole of the interior of the country, ar t d to pay down the sum of five lace of dollars in cash anti valuables ; the sum of four lace was received by Mr. Muntinghe, and shipped by hint ; :he payment of the remaining lac was Is be made after Mt. Muntinghe's return from the interior, and his effecting the ex pulsion of all the British troops front the territory of ralentharg. The warlike equipment which Mr. Muntinghe fitted for this purpose, consisted of about 100 troops , E uropeans and Natives, 100 Slais,,and 1,800 Palembang people, arnied in various ways. and who were conveyed in 1,8114 boats, in which were mounted tfight large guns, and about one hundred small ones. When they left- Pakmbang, the Dutch had a slap of war of s guns, and a large military knee there. (Signed) T. S. R.rrtes. ' Deposed before C. Mernvrx, Magistrate and Malay Translator.
