PROCLAMATION PUBLISHED 'BY THE LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF THE ISLAND o \ l+ JAVA, DATED DJOCJOCARTA, JUNE 18, 1812. The Sultan Hamangkubuana the Second, has, by his crimes and violation of treaty, shewn himself un worthy of the confidence of the British Government, and unfit to be farther entrusted with the administra tion delegated to him. But a few months have elapsed since the Sultan experienced the utmost measure of forbearance, cle mency, and generosity of the British Government. He had violently seized upon the Government from which his want of faith towards his late Sovereign had removed him, and in the execution of his pur pose, put to (lead' the First Minister of his Govern ment, an officer, whose office and person were so lemnly protected in all the existing engagements, and, until his time, had been held inviolate. The British Government, with a tender respect for lis - udvanced age, his high rank and supposed mis ,foi tunes, were willing to make a new trial of his con . duct, and on his expressing a contrition for his past :offences, even confirmed him in the throne he had presumed to usurp. Scarcely, however, was he restored to power, when Ile caused to be assassinated the father of that Mini ster with whose blood he had recently stained his hands, a blameless and inoffensive old man. He shortly thereafter ordered to be strangled, seven of the highest and most respectable chiefs of the country, without even an alleged offence ; men, whose p isons were by the existing engagements, under the immediate protection of the British Gov vernmen t. He degraded and affronted the Hereditary Prince, lost to all sense of the dutiful respect with which he 4iiinself, during his prior degradation, had been treated by him ; nay, he even publicly threatened ' the life of the Prince, and was hir‘cered from putting his threats into execution, only by the direct inter- ference of the British Government. He has refused to deliver over the lands and dis tricts ceded to the late Government, and confirmed to the British by the last treaty. He has entirely neglected and overlooked every minor stipulation of that treaty. And, lastly, he has been detected in intriguing with the Court of the Soosoonan, in violation of the most solemn and most important engagement of all the treaties, with the avowed object of undermining and subverting the British supremacy in Java. By such conduct, inimical to the peace, good go vernment, and general tranquillity of the country at large, the Sultan has displayed• to the world, how unworthy lie is of the high and important trust which the British Government reposed in him. He has for feited all claim to the future confidence of that Go vernment, and entirely lust the love and affection of his people, reducing the country to a state bordering upon anarchy. The Princes, the Chiefs, and the people Of Djoc jocarta at large, are therefore hereby into:tired, that the Honourable the Lieutenant Governor of the • whole island of Java and its dependencies, is hereby pleased, in the n...me and on behalf of the British Go- Nerornent, to depose the present Sultan, and in re. ass.imiog the administration of the one half of the of Java, known by the name of the king dom ot Matarani, ag ain to delegate die same to the present Pa nget ang dipati, who is hereby proclain:ed :Sultan Ma:aram, under the this; of Hamangku huana the Third. . . . till persons are therefore requited to obey him as thi r lawful Sovereign ; and it is hereby declared, that all th ho prcitime to abet the dethroned Prince iin hisi:retensions to the Government, will be con . Aidc-ca as traitors to their country, and dealt with accordingly. That no rcrson may plead ignorance of this Pro clamation, the same is directed to be translated into .'the Javanese language, and affixt.d at the gates of. the Craton, at the British Fort and Residentiary 41othe, and in such other Public places as Proclama tions and Publications are usually affixed. .Patel at iJjocjocarta this 18th day of June, 1812, by me.

To-day, Monday, the 14th of February, his Ma jesty the Emperor and King departed at one o'clock from the Palace of the Thuilleries, in w and state, to proceed to the Palace of the Legislative Body. Sal voes of artillery announced the departure of his Ma jesty from the Thuilleries, and his arrival at the Le ' gislative Body. • [Here follows the route the procession took.] The President of the Legislative Body and t 5 de puties received his Majesty at the bottom of the stair case, and conducted him to the apartment prepared to receive him. The Deputation from the Senate and Council of State having taken their places, and her Majesty the Empress being seated on the throne, in front of the Emperor's throne, accompanied by her Majesty the Queen Hortense, and surrounded by the Officers of her Household, the Diplomatic Corps occupied a Tribune to the right. The Emperor, after having rested himself in his apartment, went to the hall of the Legislative Corps, preceded by his suite. On the entry of his Majesty all the Deputies arose. His Majesty seated himself upon his throne, the Princes, Grand Dignitaries, 8:c. having taken their places according to their rank. The Emperor being seated, the Grand Master of the Ceremonies took his Majesty's orders for opening :the Sitting. The Prince Vice-Grand Elector demanded his Ma rjesty's per mission to present to him the Members of :the Legislative Corps lately elected, and allow them to take the Oath. One of the Officers called over the names, and the oath wali taken. This being finished, the Emperor delivered the fol lowing Speech : 66 Gentlemen, Deputies front the Department: to the Le gislative Body, 66 The war again lighted in the North of Europe offered a favourable opportunity to the projects of the English upon the Peninsula. They have made great efforts. All their hopes have been deceived.— Their army was wrecked before the citadel of Bur gos, and obliged, after having suffered great losses, to evacuate the Spanish territory. 6 6 I myself entered Russia. The French arms were constantly victorious, in the fields of Ostrowno, Polotsk, Mobilow, Smolensk, Moscow, Molairadsla vitz. The Russian armies could not stand before our armies. Moscow fell into our power ! 66 Whilst the barriers of Russia were forced, and the impotency of her arms acknowledged, a swarm of Tar:ars alined their parracidal hands against the finest provinces of that vast empire, which they had been called to defend. 44 They in a few weeks, notwithstanding the tears and despair of the unfortunate Muscovites, burned more than four thousand of their finest villages— more than fifty of their finest towns ; thus gratitying their ancient hatred, under the pretext of retalding our march, by surrounding us with a desert. We triumphed over all these obstacles ! Even the fire of Moscow, by which in four days they annihilated the fruits of the labours and cares of four generations, changed in no respect the prosperous state of my affairs. " But the excessive and premature rigour of the winter brought down a heavy calamity ou my army; in a few nights I saw every thing change! I expe. rienced great losses! They would have broken my heart, if, under such circumstances, I could have been accessible to any other sentiments than those of the interest, the glory, and the future prosperity of my people. _ _ On seeing the evils which pressed upon us, the joy of England was great—her hopes had no bounds; she offered our finest provinces as the reward of made as the conditions of peace the dis memberment of this vast empire : it was, under other terms, to proclaim perpetual war. 44 The energy of my people under these great cir cumstances ; their attachment to the integrity of the empire ; the love which they have shewn me, have dissipated all these chimeras, and brought back our enemies to a more just consideration ofthings. " The misfortunes produced by the rigour of hoar frosts have been made apparent in all their extent. The grandeur and the solidity of this empire, found. ed upon o.e efforts and the love of fifty millions of citizens, and upon the territorial resources of one of the fines: countries in the world. 66 It is with lively satisfaction that we have seen our people of the kingdom of Italy, those of ancient Holland, and of the United Departments, rival with Old Fiance, and feel that there is for them no future hope but in the consolidation and the triumph of the Graf,d Empire. ‘f The agents of England propagate among all ppr neighbours the sritit of Wok against 6oire ieigni, ; ZnglAnd wishes to see the *hole Continent to become aprey to civil war, and all the furies of anarchy ; buf PROVIDIINCI has designed her herself to be the first victim of anarchy and civil war. I have signed with the Pope a Concordat which terminates all the differences that unfortunately had arisen in the Church. g , The French dynasty reigns, and will reign in Spain. I am satisfied with all my allies : 1 will aban don none of them. I will maintain the integrity of their States. The Russians shall return into their frightful climate. 44 I desire peace ; it is necessary to the world.— Four times since the rupture which followed the trea ty of Amiens, I proposed it in a solemn manner. I will never make but an honourable peace, and one conformable to the interests and grandeur of my em pire. My policy is not mysterious ; I have stated all the sacrifices I could make. 66 So long as this maritime war shall last, my peo ple must hold themselves ready to make all kind of sactifices ; because a bad peace would make us lose every thing—even hope and all would be comprized, even the prosperity of our descendants. 66 America has had recourse to arms, to make the sovereignty ,of her flag respected—the wishes of the world accompany her in this glorious contest. If she terminates it by obliging the enemies of the Conti nent to acknowledge the principle that the flag covers the merchandize and crew, and that neutrals ought not to be subject to blockades upon paper, the whole conformable to the stipulations of the* Treaty of Utrecht, America will have credit from all nations ; posterity will say, that the old world had lost its rights, and that the new one reconquered them. 66 My Minister of the Interior will explain to you in the Expose of the situation of the empire, the pro sperous state of agriculture, manufactures, and of 1 1 our interior commerce, as well as the still constant increase of our population. In no age has agricul ture and manufactories been carried to a higher de gree of prosperity in France. " I want great resources to meet the expenses which circumstances demand ; but by means of the different measures which my Minister of Finances - will propose to you, I shall not impose any new bur dens on my people." Alter the Speech, the Sitting terminated, and his Majesty retired amidst acclamations.--(Moniteur, February 15). PARIS, FEBRUARY 13. His Serene Highness the Prince Arch-Chancellor of the Empire appeared on this day, Saturday, the 13th of February, in the Senate, by order of his Ma jesty the Emperor and King, tor the purpose of pre siding at the Sitting. His Serene Highness having been received with the usual ceremonies, caused the Concordat, signed at Fontainbleau, the 25th of Ja nuary, 1813, between his Majesty the Emperor and King, and his Holiness Pius VII. to be read by one of his Secretaries. CONCORDAT. His Majesty the Emperor and King, and his Holi ness, being inclined to put a termination to the dif ferences which have arisen between them, and to pro vide against the difficulties that have taken place in several affairs concerning the Church, have agreed upon the following articles, which are to serve as the basis for a definitive arrangement : Art. 1. His Holiness shall exercise the Pontiacate in France, and in the Kingdom of Italy, in the same manner and same forme as his predecessors. 2. The Ambassadors, Ministers, Charge d'Affairtr, of Foreign Powers, to the Holy Father, aid the Ambassadors; %holsters, or Charge d'Affaires, whom the Pope may have with Foreign Powers, shall enjoy such immunities and privilegea as are evjoyed by the Diplomatic Body. 3. The domains which were possessed by the Holy Father, and that have not been alienated, shall be exemp , ed from all kinds of imposts, and shall be administered by his .4. tits or Charge d'Affaires. Those which were alit owed shall be replaced, to the amount of two millions of francs in rev.•nue 4. Within thespace of six mot.ths following the notification of the usage of nomination by the Emperor to the Arch!:ishopricks and Bishopricks of the Empire and King&r: of Italy, the Pope shall give the canonical institutions in conformity t‘itli diet Con cordat, and by virtue of this present ittdultu. I4e preluding information shall be given by the Metropolitan. Ihe six months being expired without the Pope having accorded to the institution, the Metropolitan, or in default of him, where a Metropolitan is in question, the oldest bishop of the province, shall proceed to the institution of the new Bishop, so that a seat shall never be vacant longer than oue year. 5. The Pope shall nominate to the ten Bishopricks either in France or in Italy, which shall finally be designated by mutual consent. 6. The six suburb bishopricks shall be re-established ;—they shall be at the nominatizin of the Pope. The property actually existing shall be restored, and measures shall be taken for reco vering what has been sold. At the death of the Bishop of Anagni and Rieti, their dioceses drill be re-united to the six hisbopricks before mentioned, conformably with agreement which shall take place between his Majesty and the Fr.sly Father. 7. With regard to the bishops of the Roman states, who are through circumstances absent from their diocests, the H dy Father may exercise his right of givirg bishopricks, iu parttbus, in their favour. A pension shall be given to them equal to the revenue before enjoyed by them, and they may be replaced in the vacant suits, either in the empire, er it: Italy. 8. His Majesty and his Holiness will at a proper time concert with each other on the reduction to he made, if it shou'd take place, in the bishoprick of U'uscanv, and the country of Genoa, as likevese he . the hishopricks to be established in Ilulland, and hi the .1 fanseatic departments. 9. The Prorganda, the Penitentiary, and the Archives shall be established in the place of the Holy Father's abode. 10. His Majesty restores his good favour to those cardinals, bishops, priests, and lay brethren, who have incurred his dis pleasure in consequence of attual events. 11. The Holy Father agrees-to the above dispositions, in con sideration of the actual state of the Church, and in Use confi dence with which his Majesty has inspired him, that he will grant his powerful pietectiun to the numerous wain* which Religion suffers in the times we live in. (Signed) Fontain bleau, Jan. 25, Ibl3. NAPOLEON. Pius, P. P. 7. On leaving his palace yesterday, his Majesty pro. ceeded to visit the Prince of Neufchatel, lately arrived at Paris. His Majesty the King of Naples arrived at his chateau at Santo Lucio on the Stith January. FEBRUARY 14.—The inhabitants of this capital as sembled in crowds in all the streets through which the Emperor was to pass, in proceeding from the Thuilleries to the palace of the Legislative Body, and accompanied the suite with shouts, a thousand times repeated, of , g Long live the Emperor !" Upon his entry into the Hall where the Sittings are held, he was received with similar enthusiasm by the Legislative Body and a numerous and brilliant assembly. Aker the oath, taken individually by every mem ber of the Legislative Body, his Majesty, seated upon his throne, delivered a speech, upon the conclusion of which, the shouts of 14 Long live the Emperor !" were repeated. These acclamations did not cease from his departure from the Hall of the Legislative lody till his arrival at the palace of the Thuilleries. Her Majesty the Empress assisted at this criesaof " Long live the Empress 1" issued from a hearts, and constantly followed the august conipa. nion of the Monarch, the mother o! . the Imperial Prince. FEB. 16.—Yesterday his Majesty reviewed nume rous corps of cavalry and infantry. MINISTRY AT WAX The following is a copy of a letter from Vallad o . lid, of the 17th January, to the Minister at War, from General Count Reille, Commandant of the Army of Pintugal : Monseigneur—General Merlet, commanding the cavalry of the army, has sent me A Repon. from Ge. neral Boyer, with which I hasten to make your Ex. cellency .acquainted. _ _ _ " On the 15th, 200 horses of the 25th dragoons, which had been to Caynos for the correspondence, ie. turned at six o'clock in the evening at Mayorga. The Chief of a squadron, Mathias, who commanded them, learning that 400 hor.es of Marcpi:nez's band had arrived at five o'clock in the evening at Valderas, immediately refre(hed c:!vAlry, and, conjcintly with the Chief of Battalion, Dekaii, of the 4'.h, and 300 men belonging to that regiment, he immediately marched upon that village, v:here he arrived at five o'clock in the morning. The band wac shut up in it ; all who attempted to escape v. ere drowned in the Cea, and all who endeavoured to otter resistance were killed. " The prisoners shall be conducted to head-quay. ters, and the 150 horses, which have been judgcd pro per for service, will serve to remount the drapons or light cavalry.

PREFECTURE OF POLICE.

We continue to enlist young men who are fit to serve as sub-officers of artillery. Fresh troops coml. nually arrive at this place. VIENNA, FEBRUARY 2. The intelligence received from the interior of Rus. sia confirms the preceding accounts of the penury suf fered in that unfortunate country. The army is torn to pieces—it has lost a prodigious number of men by cold ; it arrived in countries in which the French, itt retiring, left nothing. C'••it tgeous disorders have made great ravages in it. 'The Government is very much embarrassed to recruit it. The Russian Generals have, in truth, established hospitals in several towns, particularly in Lithuania : but these hospitals are badly organized, the sick want a number of things, and many of them perish. We know, that in these sort of things the Kinsians are ill•informed. The Russians have very few men in Podolia, Vol. Ilyni3, and the Buckowine. The last letters received from 1 urkey, announce that the affairs of Servia are at last upon the point of being settled. A ccurier was every instant expec. ted at Belgrade from Constantinople, for they write from that capital, that all the difficulties had been settled, and that the definitive arrangement was quite ready for being signed. We know nothing decisive respecting Widclin, place is still very closely observed by the °unhurt troops, without, however, its being ei , her besieged or blockaded. There have been several affairs in neighbourhood of that town ; the troops of Mallith Pemba have experienced considerable lea s. The news which we have rec.:ived mr.kes no men tion of the plague, from wf..enze it may be presumed that that scourge has diminished or ceased. FEB. 3.—Private letters frcni Hungary mention the arrival of a State prisoner at Grass Waradin.— He is treated with great respect, and has a grim number of domestics. Many persons think 13 , t is foreign Prince, and Chief of the Secret S..cietY ei Free Masons, designated by the title The Unto:'• of the Virtues." It is added, that he has been ar rested in consequence of tile reqtiesc of .t foreign So vereign. He wishes to be incognii , ;, and affects to speak only French and Latin. LEMBERG, SANLTARY c 7.
