They contain the following important intelligence, from the Dutch Settlements in India : HAGUE, HOVEMBER S. Lieutenant-Colonel Taels Van Amerongen, Aid de-camp to the Governor-Geaeral of the East India possessions, and Lieutenant Koopman, of the Navy, arrived here yesterday, with the happy intelligence of the successful issue of the second expedition against the rebellious Sultan of Palembang, which was of so much importance to the maintenance of the Dutch authority in India. On the 24th of June, General De Kock, to whom the chief command of the expedition was confided, made himself master, after an obstinate resistance, of the works in the River, which impeded the approach to the town. The General states, in his dispatches of the 28th of June, that on the 26th he cast anchor, before the town, and that the Sultan, Badaroedin, seeing no means of resistance, declared himself ready to give up the government to his brother, who was en board the Dutch fleet, and to surrender himself, on the assurance that his life should be spared. The General, therefore, hoped that he should soon be able to sad the Sultan and his family to Batavia, on board the Dageraad frigate.—The General bestows the highest encomiums on the bravery and pene verance of the soldiers and seamen. The enemy had hi chief force in the river ► near the Island of Gombora► at the mouth of the river Pladjoe, on a low and marshy spot of ground. A large battery was erected on the island. Between that and the right bank were two floating batteries, and on the bank four batteries, one behind the other, the largest of which was at the mouth of the Pladjoe. These works were defended by 126 pieces of artil lery, which, as the event :hewed, the enemy knew very well how to manage. The two banks were also defended by a double palisade, under the com mand of the guns, and behind the palisade well armed boats. It appeared. therefore, not advisable to attack the enemy's works by land. The first attack was on the 20th of June. At day break the ships of war took the stations assigned them. The cannonade was extremely violent on both sides. In the forenoon, the fire from Gombora began to abate, one of the gun-boats had already penetrated through the palisade into the great river, and the General had already given orders to Lieutenant-Colo nel Kier to make an attack with 300 men, in boats, on the List-mentioned battery, when, unfortunately, the cables of some of the ships of war were shot away so that they drifted with the stream. This accident ex posed the Vanderwerf alone to the enemy's fire, and as this vessel had already 60 men killed and wounded, and several of her guns were dismounted, the Gene ral thought it advisable to suspend the attack. The second attack was made on the 24th of June. Before day-break the ships of war took their positions under a heavy fire from the enemy. At five o'clock the ships returned the enemy's fire, and at a quarter past -six the fire from the Island began to abate. Colonel Bischoff made a successful attempt to pe netrate with his troops, in boats, through the palisade along the left bank towards the island; the battery was taken, and the flag of the Netherlands hoisted on, the enemy's works. An attempt to attack the great battery in front was judged not to be advisable, and the troops were therefore collected on the side of the island, in order to cross the river behind k and turn the batteries on the right bank. Meantime the Ajax sad Venus had overpowered the floating batteries, which were taken possession of by Lieutenant Van den Ende, and afterwards burnt. At nine o'clock, the troops under Colonel Bischoff began to cross the river. At half-past eleven, Lieutenant Lange, of the Navy, planted our colours on the hindmost battery.' The second and third were quickly abandoned by the enemy, who endeavoured to maintain himself in the first and largest, but the troops under Lieutenants Wegener and Van Styrum carried} it by assault, and made themselves masters of this last and important position. Here follow the names of the officers who distin guished themselves, and the statement of the killed and wounded. The loss in the first action was— killed, 46 ; wounded, 97. In the second action—. killed, 29; wounded, 140. In all, 75 killed, an d 237 wounded. Among them the Vanderwerf alone had 17 killed, and 66 wounded. Tyr the guns hays been fired on account of this joyful victory. BATAVIA, JULY 21. The conquest of Palembang has been announced by a salute of 101 guns. The cholera morbas still rages dreadfully at Bantam, and the out-districts of Sonrabaya and Passarouang At Bantam 100 persons die daily—in the two other places, above 170, The number of deaths at Batavia, in consequence of alb disorder, does not exceed five daily. MAOUR, NOVEMBER A private letter from Batavia, of the 26th July, states that the cholera mortals was abating, and that it was hoped that its ravages would soon cease. We have received since our last the Paris of Thursday and Friday last. The Chamber of Deputies met again on Wednes• day, but in consequence of there not being a suffi cient number of Members present, no business was done. The Chamber consists of 426 Members, and to enable it to transact business, more than a half, that is, 214 must be present. On Wednesday only 102 attended. The verification of the powers of the new Deputies, which was the business of the day, could not therefore be proceeded on, and after a long conversation the House adjourned sine die, with an understanding that on the arrival of a sufficient num• ber of Deputies in Paris, notice would be given at their respective places of residence of the day of the next meetings The accounts from Barcelona, in these Papers, are rather more favourable than those which we have given in our preceding page from the Madrid jour nals. The Moniteur contains what seems to be the substance of an official report from the French phy sicians, in which the fact of the cetsation of the malady at Barcelonetta is fully confirmed. "On the 26th," it is said, " there were neither deaths nor new patients at Barcelonetta; salutes of artil lery announced this exceedingly happy change.— The number of deaths continued nearly the same at Barcelona. It is computed that this city has lost 15,000 of its population."—Of the spread of the fever we have also the following particulars : " Shortly after the yellow fever broke out at Barcelona, it ap peared at Tortosa, and next at Mequinenza, in both of which places it has committed great ravages. It has also had many victims at Palma, in the isle of Majorca. At length it manifested itself successively, first on the roads of Malaga, and afterwards in the town ; at Murcia, at Port St. Maurice, at Xeres de la Frontera, at Cadiz, and in a faulbourg of Seville. At the date of the last accounts, it had not, in any of these latter places, displayed much violence." At Malaga, if we may credit the following letter in the Constitutionnei, there has been more alarm than teal cause for it. It is dated the 25th October : " The alarm has, without doubt, spread to Paris and France about the epidemy of Malaga. To tell you the truth, there may exist here some germ of the miady now become endemic, but for myself, I think that malevolence has done and occasioned more evil than there has been any good cause for. What is certain is, that the half of the population has emigrated, and that business is paralysed, while nobody has died of the malady." The accounts with which we are favoured of the state of matters between Russia and Turkey, conti nue, as usual, to be wavering and contradictory. We subjoin the statements as they are presented to us; not certain but that next post may bring us a contradiction to everything they contain : ODESSA, OCTOBER 13. (raoM THE ALLORMENE ZEKTENO or NOT. 2.) A Courier has arrived to-day in five days from St. Petersburgh, with dispatches for Count Langeron, who being at Cherson, the Courier immediately pro ceeded thither. A report is spread that the troops in the Ukraine have orders to march to the Pruth, but this news a ants confirmation. HERMANSTADT, OCTOBER is. News is just received that the Turks have advanced close to the Pruth. The Russians, toe, have within this fortnight again taken their station close to the opposite bank. The increase of the Turkish troops in Moldavia having excited some apprehensions fa; the inhabitants of Bessarabia, the advanced posts of the Russians and Turks are in sight of each other. Withiwthese few days great numbers of Christians arrive on our frontiers, who try to fly fivm the cruel ties of the Asiatic troops. At Cronstadt no more lodgings are to be had ; all who can by any means get away from Bucharest, take flight from that city. It is calculated that 30,000 Turks have entered the Principalities within these three weeks ; they commit all manner of cruelties and excesses. On the 15th of October, there arrived at Belgrade, Tartars who had come in nine days from Constanti nople. They brought a Erman from the Sultan for the arming of all Musseimans from the age of 15 years to that of 60. This Erman was sent at the same time to all the Asiatic and European Provinces of the Em pire, with the HAW Scheriff before issued to arm all the followers of Islamism; so that, accordingly, the whole Turkish nation must take up arms. By the regulations annexed to this Finnan, the rendezvous of the Asiatics is Constantinople; of the troops of Macedonia, at Trawnick ; of Bulgaria, at Adrian°. ple ; of the Danube, at Silistria; sad of Sarnia, at Belgride. the pb7 of Nay root soldier h 40pba• ass per =mil, and every hansom 40 piastres. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPTEMBER 15. The Liintenant of the Captain Pacha sailed last week for the Archipelago, accompanied by a Greek Bishop, who is to endeavour to induce the Greeks in the revoked islands to return to their obedience. No action has taken place between the fleets. It is af firmed, that verbal communications have taken place, and that these negociations now promise an amicable anangement. French Five per Cents.

Early on Saturday morning the Duke and Duchess of CLAReNce, ac companied by the Duchess of GLoccesTitaleft Bushy Park, in a carriage and four, and proceeded to the King's Palace, at Kensington, on avibit to the Duchess of KENT and the Princess Somas. The Duke of CLARENCE and the Duchess of GLOUCESTER pro ceeded from Kensington to London, where they ar rived a little before twelve o'clock. Their Royal Highnesses waited upon the KING to pay their affec tionate respect's to his MAJESTY upon his safe arrival in England. The Royal Duke and Duchess re mained a considerable time with the Kwa, and after wards returned, soon after four o'clock, to the King's Palace at Kensington, where they were joined by the Duchess of CLARENCE. The Royal Party then pro ceeded on their return to Bushy Park. The Marquis and Marchioness of CtioLmotommirr, the Earl of ROCKSAVAGE, and Col. and Lady CHAR- Lorre SEYMOUR, are arrived from Cholmondeley Castle, Cheshire. The Marquis and Marchioness of LANSDOWW, who arrived in town on Thursday evening, from Paris, left town yesterday morning fos their seat, Bowood Park, Wilts. Thursday last, Sir ROBERT WILSON and Mr. LAMB.. TON passed through Newcastle, on their road to Ho wick, the seat of the Right Hon. Earl Garr. The unfinished new room adjoining the Drawing room at St. James's Palace, is 74 feet square. The exterior is nearly completed, and is exactly uniform with the old building; it is designed for the accom modation of the Ladies at the Drawing-room. The new grand staircase is likewise nearly completed. Fair Game l—Last week an interesting match at billiards was played at the Spa table, Gloucester, when five female performers handled the ores and knocked the Galls about with great dexterity. Lord and Lady CLIFFORD returned their tenants in the parish of Irnham, Scc. twenty per cent. on their rents due at Lady-day last, at their rent-day on Wednesday. Miss KELLY has been performing some of her fa vourite characters at Bury Theatre; Miss DANCR is engaged to succeed her. A new Comedy is expected atDrury-Lane Theatre, under the title of Lost Life, of which reports speaks very favourably. Danwr-LANE.—Saturday night, Mr. FITZWIL• LIAK, whose name is well known to the Public as a fa vourite performer at the Surrey Theatre, made his first appearance on the boards of Drury-Lane, in the Farce of Hit or Miss. The character assigned to him was that of O'Rourke O'Daisy, with which our ' Readers are already so familiar, as a whimsical por traiture of Irish peculiarities. His reception was highly enthusiastic, and such as expressed the great interest that was felt on the announcement of his new engagement. He did not disappoint the favour able expectation created by his known abilities. He certainly possesses many of the requisites to give ef fect to the representation of such a character, his ac cent being richly furnished with the distinguishing traits of Irish expression, and his manner with that union of ease and boldness without which such a line of acting cannot be sustained. He sung the songs with considerable sweetness ; but they were perhaps somewhat deficient in archness and humour. Upon the whole, the effort, though inferior to some that we have witnessed in the same part, was sufficient to prove that his popularity is likely to follow him into the scene to which his exertions are now transferred. COVENT-GARDEN.—A new Afterpiece, entitled The Venison Pasty, was produced at this Theatre on Saturday night, but as it was a complete failure, we feel it unnecessary to enter into any details. It is sufficient to observe, that the plot turned upon the perplexities of a married man, who was fond of in triguing, and that the coarseness of the dialogue ap pearsto have been the chief obstacle to its success. J•ONRS, Mr. LISTON, Mrs. GIRDS, and Mrs. CHAT. TIRLEY, exerted their talents in vain ; for the Piece, after struggling through an interrupted and con tested progress, was finally withdrawn by the Mana ' ger, who came forweid, at the call of the audience, Lto assure them that it should Rot be repeated. ..,,. _ NATAL INTELLIGENCt Th e giatpay, from the 1 bt of July to the 50th of Stre et gb. hat, will be issued on the 12th, 13th , and 14th 414. to.Ad rals and Captains' on the 15th, 17th, t2th, 20th, a n d 211 , m u. • Lieutenants and Cltaßialns ; and on the 22d And 24th, to . i at : tees, Surgeons, and raisers.
