„. English pOssession of Jan, to Banyettnosslng, As it was generally affirnied, but confine myself to what I witnessed. " To your question, tespecting whit passed edit , dramayo, during my stay there in December, 1816, I answer: that I arrived there on the 13th of that month, and rowed with my boat to the foil, which lies at t great distance from the river. The resident there told me on my arrival, that a band of robbers or mutineers; of about 700 men, vas encamped near the fott, and that the garrison of Indramayo consisted of only one European serjeant and eleven Amboy- nese or Bokanese soldiers, and but a few pounds of powder: that besides himself only two Europeans were there: that by way of precaution, they had put in requisition all the boats of the islanders living there, and had put on board the public money and effects as well as their own, in order to fly in case of need. I offered the President some ammunitionfrom on board my ship, which he declined, as he had been for some days in expectation of assistance, and thought it must come in a day's time ; but he begged me with my passengers and boatmen to remain with him, which we did. Having taken some refreshments at this Gentle. man's house, we went together to look at the fort, and it was not without the greatest indignation that we left it." The narrator here says that the fort - was entirely di lapidated and ruined, out of mere wantonness. " Those who are acquainted with the character of the islanders, know that the worst race is in the neighbourhood of Cheribou, and that they have be come much worse since-the conquest of Java. " After I had staid some days at Indramayo, there arrived, on the 18th of the month, Lieutenant Hof- man, with a detachment of 30 soldiers, having order, to attack the insurgents the next morning early, which was to be done at the same time on three points. Meantime arrived• Mr. Manning, who wan ted to persuade Lieutenant Hofman not to attack the insurgents, pretending that he should pacify them, for which he had made many fruitless attempts. " The latter saw that he, as a soldier, could not take or follow any orders, much less counsels, frOm a civil officer, whoever he might be, contrary to his instructions. On which Lieutenant Hofrnan, accord ing to his instructions, marched at day-break on Thursday the 19th of December, from the fort, with his detachment and the garrison. Soon after they were attacked by at least 600 insurgents, whom they boldly resisted. Meantime Capt. Driel came with detachment, but being on the other side of the river, and having no boats, he could afford Lieut. Hofman but small assistance ; however, he kept up a constant fire with two field-pieces on the robbers, which, how ever, did them but little harm, on account of the distance. Some men being wounded and two taken prisoners by the robbers, who cruelly murdered theni, Lieut. Hofman retired over the river, where he made a stand btlikrning the bridge, till the Resident of Preanger, who had come some hours too late, ap peared in the rear. The insurgents being surroun ded, a corps of Ignsikkas (native troops) were too cowardly to defend themselves, add surrendered:' The narration states the prisoners were conveyed bound, to Indramayo, and shut up in Coffee Maga zine with a guard of 60 men. At nine in the even ing the prisoners begun to run amok and break out, and some escaped. The officers fearing the conse-• quences, were obliged to use their endeavours to pre vent the designs of the prisoners. They placed some men with fixed bayonets at the doors ; so that many of the robbers rushing out, ran upon the bayonets. The door was then shut again as well as was practi cable, and they then began to break out some by the roof and some through the floor, which was raised three feet from the ground, so that it was necessary to fire from time to time to hinder their breaking out ; by this wise measure these men were kept in awe, and as it appears that they fell more through fear than by the balls. " The next morning they began, according to the custom of the country, to extend the arms of the prisoners, and bind them to bamboos, in &der to re move them with safety ; and the same day I went on board to continue my voyage. " This is a true account of the affair at Indrarnayo: and whatever the French and English, out of hatred, ' envy, and jealousy, put in their papers, it happened thus, and not otherwise. I was present, and none of them, and thus what they say and write rests upon ' hearsay, and therefore they write falsehoods.

The new Concordat between Bavaria and the Pope excites much attention in Germany, because people think they see in it the usual and favourite tendency, of the Roman Court to old nreanires ; because prin ciples and views appear in it which may be unwel come, not in Bavaria (for this we may trust the wis dom of the Bavarian Government), but in many other German States, particularly those where the subjects are of different religions. People compare this Con: cordat with that before granted to Austria, and fear ing they see in this new one concessions of Papal pretensions which were formerly considered as in fringing the liberties of the German Churches, and the rights of the Sovereigns. Divide and Co;trter, the motto of ancient Roman policy, seems to be now practised by modern Rome towards Germany, fof it avoids negotiating with the German Nation—will have no Concordats, as formerly, in the 15th century, but only separate agreements, and the unhappy fate which splits Germany into German countries, and will not suffer it to become great, favours every it tempt of Roman policy.

The number 'of these free scholars is limited to 500; but authority is given for the admission of 200 others at the expense of their parents and families, who may wish them to partici. pate in the benefits of the Institution. In electing to the free scholarships, a preference is to'be given to orphans whose fathers have been killed, or who have died of wounds which they received in the service of their country, . ti The next public meeting - of the Chamber of De puties is expected to take place on Monday, when the Report of the Recruitment of the Army will come under discussion.

The Diplomatic Note of the Ministers of Prance and Austria, which has been transmitted by the Privy Council of Berne to all the Cantonal Governments, with the accompanying observations of the Council on the Journils and Pamphlets, has been a subject of deliberation in the Councils of most of the Cantons. The desire strongly expressed by all the Swiss Go vennents is, that nothing should be published in these countries which can give the least umbrage, or be disagreeable to the Great Powers. The answer of the Government of the Canton of Tessin to the Directorial Canton, on this subject, his been published—its sentiments are of particular ire- portance, inasmuch as it is chiefly of the seditious pamphlets, published in the Canton of Tessin, that complaint has been made. "As soon," it states, "as we perceived the liberty of the pri•ss had degenerates into licentiousness, which was particidarlythe case with respect to the writings issued from, the press of the printer Laudi, at Mendrisio, we hastened to take severe measures of police in regard to the press, and gave orders to our executive agents to superintend the execution of them with the utmost rigour. No bookselling speCulation which could give cause of offence, has been tolerated., We have caused the printing-house of the said, Laudi to be shut np, and expelled the man himself from the Ca stun. —The Government of Ladthe r iy has expressed, - in the most flattering terhis, its entire satisfaction wisit i our conduct. We do not believe that tlae only Jour sal which now exists amongst us, The aszetee de , can be regarded as revolutionary. We shall always make it our duty to'repress, with the greatest rigour, all literary productions which can furnish cause of complaint. VIENNI4 DECEMBER 22. It is said that our Court and that of Prussia are deliberating in concert upon the means of arresting the abuse of the press which threatens Germany with incalculable evils, if wise and efficacious measures are not immediately taken to check'it.

A Letter from an Officer on board his MAJArris snip AttesLont, at St. Kites, November 12 : "Since my last teeter to you, we have wadergoese glint Tanis* of weather, and pert out in the hurricane which took Sane (is the 21st of October; and as many report's haie gone abroad frens some of the West India Islands that we were lost, I embrace the' first opportunity, by the sailing of isnerchant brig, the aseerly, to tell you of our being safe and sound, as are all the ship; it our squadron; but the Antelope has escaped in the most mica, culnus manner. We were lying at St. Lucie quietly at anchor only the day before the hurricane came on, and got und e r sail for Barbadoes (as was our Intention) about seven in the morn ing of the 20th, it being fine weather. At twelve o'clock the eight following, the oilicer of the watch bailed the master, and said, the wind hail come r...und to • the north-west, which was ' very unusual in this entustry, S. here easterly winds prevail all the' year through, and that the weather appeared to be coming oe bad; the Admiral and Captain were immediately upon deck; we took in all our sails except the fore-sail, which Was reefed; got the top-gallant-masts upon deck, and prepared for the worst. At three in the rtsbming of the 21st, it hie* very hard at west, with tremendous heavy rein—at four still harder; took in our fore call, and brought her to under a trysail double reefed: al, seven yet battier, when a Wacame end washed away one of our boats from the stern. When ten o'clock came it blew a parect hurricane beyond what any of us had ever witnessed; however, the ship 'lay very quiet, and behaved very well, but from the ,Ileavinew and quantity of rain, with the immenseforce of wind, all our cabins were full- of wave. At noon the weather abated, and at three in the afternoon it became quite moderate, wive we set ma sails again. I call the escape of the Antelope mita cutout, ly..tise, if we had remained at tit. Lucie one night more, not an atom of the Alp would . ever have been seen, nothini; could have saved us from shipwreck. Every ship we left these was lost. The town, barracks, and buildings of every kind were blown down, At the village of Cross-islet only three houses are left standing cart of about one hundred and fifty: the Governor (Valor-General Scrums) was killed; also Marie Ilusorte, his wife, and children, were killed, by being buried in the rui ns of their house blown its upon them. We visited Sc. Lucie again sixteen days afterwards, and the scene was such as my pen can not describe: many of the inhabitants het their clothes, and those who are sick are lying on the ground, with no other coo.. ing th a n the sky, gapped to sun andisaie. An officer in noe ef the regiments, seeing the approacji of the hurricane, put a ftw clothes into a small trunk, and hid it, as he thought, In a place 01 safety ; when the weather was over, be found his trot* had been blown away, and the lid of it was fused More them Muff a mile' off. The soldiers and others were obliged so Ile down on the ground and bold themselves fast by the grass, or any thing they could get to save themselves. This may appear strange, but so it was; the power of the wind was excessive, The !sifted of Bt. Luck has suffered the mast. The vessels were *Woo en &ere at Barbartnes and Martinique, but no damage of say consequimm to the houses or other buildiugs. Very fortunately an our bole squadron; viz.
