JAMES CO3E, Secreting.. Camp Kukrs, Sit Milt* N.W. of Curacii i May 15. _ . This morning the ht Battalion 16(h Regiment Native Infantry, the detachment of the Governor- General'► Body Guard, and a brigade of guns, crossed the Maliantidda river, on its march to Koor d.th. The General crosses in the evening, and will proceed with us. Maj r Carter, with five companies of the 300 t, and a company of the 11th, InArther with a brigade of guns, crotsed the Kiiigoora on the evening of the 13th, in progress to Koordah by another route. We understand also, that Major Hamilton's detachment from Puree, or Capt. Arm. strong's from Peeplay, will proceed by a third route to the above destination ; so that we may now ex . pest that the insurrection will be very soon crushed, as the insurgents, thus finding themselves pressed on all sides by these combined and well-directed move ments. will most likely disperse, and will be in the end obliged to solicit forkivenen on our own terms. General Martindeil has caused proclamations to be issued in all directions, offering a general amnesty, provided the rebels will return peaceably to their homes, and desert their leaders, to whom only no pardon fur their crimes will be granted. Jughundoo is stated to be at Koordan, all the panes to which have been strongly block sled. • Captain Armstrong's affair at Peeplay must hate had a most happy effect on the insurgents. It is sup posed that their intention was to have attacked Capt. Lelevri in his march from Porte to Cuttack, and to have endeavoured to rescue the Rajah under his charge. They were, however, too late, Capt. Lefevre having left ?replay the day before they arrived. In the action, Dburnoo Hurrichunder, their Sirdar, is reported to have been wounded, and another prin cipal ringleader killed. Twenty bodies were found dead on the plain. Colonel Greene, with the other wing of the 2d bait. Stith N. I. arrived at Cuttack this morning. He is to be left in command of the station, having under him the above companies, and tour companies of the I lth Native Tallowy ; the latter from the Rajah's guard, who has not yet set off fur Calcutta, whither we understand he is ultimately going. He is rather a 4 00d-lookieg man, of abort SO years of age ; his pride and salt-importance are truly ridicu lous; he never condescends to return the salote of any one, whatever may be his rank. Next to Jug. pernaut, he conceives himself to be the greatest being .to nustence. The Mint°, which we understand is conveying a detachment of artillery by sea to Cuttack, has not yet arrived. MAI)RAS. JULY U. We bear from public report that his Excellency the M6st Noble the Governor-General will, early in 'July, leave the Presidency for the Upper Provinces; and that Sir Jahn Malcolm is to embark, in a few •days, in a pilot 'schooner, and to proceed on a mis sion to the southward. =TRACT Or /CUTTER PllOll AMSOYNAp JUNG 17. On the 17th of . May the Commissioners of his Netherland Majesty at Amboyna received a letter from the writer at Saparona, dated the 13th of that mouth ; it was signed by Mrs. Vandenberg, the wife of the Resident. This communication, written in great haat% merely stated that her husband, Mr. V. had been seised at the Negreeof Haria, or Porto, by the natives, and that she had in consequence taken refuge in the fort;. the letter finished by requesting that assistance might be sent from Amboyna without delay. Accordingly, on the morning of the 18th, a party of European soldiers from the garrison, and of European sadors from the line-of-battle ships Nassau and Admiral Even, in all about 150 men, to which Were added 50 Javanese troops or upwards, making together a total of 200 or 210 men, including Offi• eves, left Fort Victoria, under the command of Ma jor Satjes, for Saparona. a' The small party went in boats furriished by the Airannkya of Batoomira, who, with the Rajah Sing Sooty, accompanied the expedition. In the passage, when off Havroko, they fell in with two or three beram prows, and taking the people composing the crew forienemles, they forthwith shot five or sir with. out the semblance of a trial ; subsequent informa gioo has proved that these men were not foes to the Dont government. ea The party arrived at Saparona on the 20th of May, and Major Basics tame to the determination of knifing at that part of Saparona called the Ne gree.Tewauer. The-beach at Teeauw is rotten ground covered with safer° trees, and amongst them the waives skulked with their muskets ready loaded. On 'approaching the shore, they were fired at by the people of Saparona, who 'hewed themselves to be good marksmen, by killing a-:Lieutenant blunter, aind wounding a Lieutenant Schram., both of the royal airy, to the boats. The whole party appear to have been in great confrision ; the natives permitted them -to edvarice without =rich reSilitallCe to a place called the Kay. • lido; they these made a stand, and firing from be hind the trees, killed a number of sailors; and Major **Os finding that nothing was to be done against a bidden enemy, who desk destruction cat'svery side, retreated precipitately to the beach. No peopl e h av - Obeen left to look after the beats, they had drifted to a lode distance into deep water, and Majo r Daps was shot in endeavouring to get to one of them. A party of European . sailors, amounting to between 40 and 50, got iUto one of the orangkays, which - swamped in consequence of its being . Oyer. laden, and they were all drowned. Of the whole party sent to quell the insurrection, only two officers, a anctor, two midshipmen, and 10 or 12 Europeans, reached the Residency of arrookay, in safety. One of the officers, 'Lieutenant Schudrus, is since dead; Invirigloeo . wounded in the boat, he did not land. r• It appe • ars that the Rjjah of Sing Soory landed with a white lag upon his stick, with the hope that the rebels would listen to him; as be advanced, how ever, be was shot through the heart from behind a salaro tree. His slave boy took up lb* body, and drought it, unmolested, to the beach, where a boat belonging to his master war in waiting ; the crew ei pressed the most savage satisfaction when they saw the dead body of the Rajah of Sing Soory, and re. fused to lake it i•Ito the boat, although pressed by the slave h.y to do so; they seized their paddles, and vociferating execrations to the Dutch, made the best of their way to their own Negree. " The causes assigned for this unhappy insurrec tion are—The paper money ; requisitions of men for Java; the President ordering a woman to be flogged naked in the bazaar; his flogging the Lieutenant Burgher without just cause; his making the people furnish fish and sago gratis to the troops. and his trusting too much to Mr. Urneck, his writer. " Tue 11.131af or lea °mesas MUM—Major Balks, of the Engineers; Captain Stalwan, of the infantry ; Lieutenant Munter, of the R. N ; Lieutenant De Young, R. N.; Midship. men Anenial., R. N. and Lid de feud, R. N.; Lieutenant Seim erus, wounded, since dead. " The heads'of the European officers and men have been stuck upon the end of poles. It has been since ascertained that the natives killed the Resident, his wile and children, together with his writer, Mr. Or• neck, and that they were determined neither to give nor receive quarter ; they hoist the English flag l I and have already made two attempts against Har woks, where there . aii . iz:oo troops. With the excep tion of the Megree - Harooka proper, the . whole of the natives of Haronka have joined The people at Sipa. fOn4 j the whole of the inhabitants at Hilt 4re like wise understood to be ready for revolt. The soldiers discharged from the English service are reported to be ringleaders; the Burghers of Saparona likewise take an active part in the insurrection ; the rebels are said to be greatly in want of ammunition, and have sent for supplies from Ceram, but it does not appear that the people el Ceram have joined the rebellion."

It is now correctly ascertained that the arrange ments for the retirement of his Royal Highness the Duke of You from the office of Commander-in. Chief, are nearly completed. His Royal Highness will carry With him into retirement, the soldier's ' prayer and the good wishes of all classes; distin guished as his conduct has been by Impartiality, justice, and actitrity, we really think some national testimony of his merits should be offered by a MP., fill country. Sir H. Tonazus is provided for by the retirement of the Adjutant-General, Sir H. Cm.vairr ; and the duties of Commander-in-Chief will be performed, without any expense to the country, by the SWAB TARY AT WAR, (to whom the office has always de volved in time of peace), with the advice and assist ance of his Majestes Ministers. Much credit is due to them in this matter, not only for their constitu tional jealousy of the situation of presumptive heir to the throne being combined with that of head of the army, but also for the readiness with which they seized the first opp ortunity o of easing the country of the heavy expense of the office and establishment of the Commander in Chief. On du Itlth ultimo,- the Court of Stattgard west into mourning toe a month, on account of the death of her Royal Highness t►e Princess CaAat.orro of England. East India Papers to the end of July have arrived, at which time not the slightest apprehension of war with the blabrattas was entertained. We have ex tracted some interesting particulars relative to the in sarrections in the Cuttack district and at Saparona, one of the priacipal residences attached to Amboyna. A Dutch Mad arrived this forenoon, but it brings hitch news of striking natant. The Duke of Wmumwrost still continues as. his] Head Quarters, where there is no talk at present of his proceeding to Paris. Neenerons fetes are given at Mont St. Marie. of which the Duchess does the honours, and to which many considerable personages from the neighbourhood are invited. Several detachmans of troops have lately arrived from. England, to supply the place of Bose Men wbo have obtained furloughs. The Dutch and Flemish Journals present some ecclesiastical paragraphs, of little interest to an Eng lish Reader.—The Archbishop of MALINES has gone to Antwerp—to consecrate the colours ut a 6wiu Regiment in garrison there. A new Bishop is soon expected to be nominated by the POPS, on the recant. mandato° of the Kum, to the Bishop of Ghent. The nomination of one for Lip is also soon expected.

Arm; of Occupation, though such unwelcome straw gees, acquire more and more the esteem of the inha bitanns as well by the exeniplary discipline of the se veral corps, and by-the .strict justice of the Officers, as by the readiness with which the sold ers, in any public mislortune, as for example a file, venture their lives to save their fellow•creatures. This year also, as during the last, the Commanders and other Offi cers have made subscriptions for tile relief cf the poor, the amount of which has been given to the Magistrates. Two of the first houses at Copenhagen have stopped payment. One has been established ever since the year 1646: the fall of one of these houses is caused by the unfortunate results of the West India trade, and the second by occurrences in Norway. AMERICA. This day we received Charleston Papers to the 29th October, from which we select some intelligence respecting affairs in East Florida, being all that our time and limits permit : CHARLESTON, OCTOBER ci. gl A Gentleman who left Fernandina on the 16th instant, informs us, that the Florida Patriots had been in a state of great confusion for some days be fore he left the Island, and it was not expected that; matters would be settled immediately. The French party, under Commodore Aury, with his **s•s troops, cm one side ; and Governor Sheriff Hubbard, with all the Americans, and the greatest part of the seamen, on the other, are at open war ; and it'sva; the general expectation that blood would be shed be tore the commotion ended. Such was the inctability of the Govetonteat, that new Councils were formed every two or three days. •4 On the 15;h, an arrangement was entered into o frith excluded the Military entirely from power; and there was no doubt that this Council would be over turned soon by the Military, who, in their turn, would exclude the civilians of this rising empire from all participation in the administration. For the list three days the patties were actually in arm's against each ther ; and it is next to impossible, even on the spot, to conjecture what a %seek or a day may bring forth. strong reinforcements were hourly expected by both sides; and should Commodore Champlin go in, who was off St. Mary's Bar. with three or four sail cf ves sels, the American party expected to cart y the day; if not, Commodore Aury, with his veterans, will pro bably keep the upper band."
