Sift—Volt Ire herrhy mmuintea to proceed on a special miNnon to Palembang, the object of which is to afford to the Sitllan the protection of the British Government. " 2 lam unacquainted with the wrisures which may have been pursued by the Dutch Government with curet to Pa• lembang; but whatever they may have been, they can in no way interfere with the ditty of the British Government, to support the present Sultan, Raton Achmed Najnmudin, on the Throne, to which he was raised by their authority. This, indeed, was the express condition on which be ceded the island of Banca. " 3. The Dutch Government have no claim whatever to a footing at Palembang„ by virtue or the recent Convention, and therefore it depends upon the Sultan, as au independent Prince, whether he chooses to admit them or not. In his recent communications to me, he expresses himself to be in the utmost distress and anxiety, in COIMMUCOCC of the dia lorder and confusian into which the country has been thrown by the expected arrival of a Dutch Commissioner, and in the full hope that I will give him proofs of my nssi , tance and friendship, calls upon me to know what I tan do fur him, nit his sole reliance it upon the British Covet iiinent, oho raised lain to the Throne. ° 4. From thin it would appear, that the Sultan has not let mitered into any formal arrangement with the Dwelt Go vernment ; but as they may have taken measures for form. ing an establishment in defiance of the Protest of the Bri tigla Government, and of the rights of the Sultan, no time liould be lost in calling upon the Sultan to make his alec timi ; and if be is desirous of excluding the Doti), and of rtmaining under the British Nutt ction, nit explanatory Treaty should be m i gne i n i e d, " 5. At all events, it will be venue duty to convince the Stil ton that he is not absndoned by the British Government ; and aboold he place himself unequivocally tinder its proteb Lion, to afford him that protection to the extent of your and to require that the Dutch withdraw all piettia sinus, and in no way further interfere with time atl'•ors of I Palembang.

" 1 ""g and i'antigh oit the Archipelago, that ill tenet ut the Ntilit Floods Government in the plates ut SUMATRA. The Gil:owing is the PrtoTEAT of Sir Tliosuct STANIFORD RAFFIS.9, Lirutenaist-Govenior of Fort Nlarlhorough, aKaisi.t the aggressions of the Dutch in the Indian Seas : PROTEST. The honour and interests of the British Government ren dering it indispensable that a public and formal Pretest thunild he made against lie proceedings of the Dutch Aistko titiee in the hlalayan Archipelago, I do hereby, as the nearest British Authority, ...hmily and publicly protest against the following proceedings of the Idepresentatives of the Netherlands Government. When the Agents of the British Government transferred the government of Java to their Excellencies the Corneille* itiuners of Ins Netherlands Majesty, they called upon the Commissioners-General to NMI the engagements which the British Government had contracted with the Native Prillet during its admiiiistration of Java. The British Authorities considered themselves bound and entitled to insist ein their doing so, that haviug areepted the benefit of those Arts which were favourable to them, they comb, not reject the burden of those which they deemed otherwise. 11,10,11. Dion was made in the tat agement. with the Native Princes, for the contingency cf the Colony returning to Holland. Holland, indeed, did not then exlet as a narmn, iod the Aullito dies who administered Jars Nelda have been fully warranted in resigning the whole enentry to the Native Princes. The language which was in consiquence held out to the Natives, was that of a Government competent to make agreementS in pepetutty. Without sorb a hinging', the British could never have done what erne dune fur the Eastern Islands. Those leading mea..eie.., of which the Nellie-Wide Government are now ileiiving all the benefit, could never have been effected had nut the Natives retied on the British Government being able to secure them in a per petuity of those rights ,hick they heel recognised. The Commiasioners-Geueral of his Netherlands Majesty, however, refusal to guarantee those Treaties, and the con sequence was a formal Protest on the part of the British Authorities, who, on account of this and other measures of the Nelberlande Government, were compelled to leave Bl• tavin, under a declaration, that there was an evident distil. clination to eiinci. - de any thing to the name and character of the British Nation in the Eastern Seas; and that, jodginz by the general policy crowed, there seemed rel. , in to be lieve it to be tare nom of the Netherlands Government to erase the recollection of the British Administr etion, and studiously to prevent the Native Princes and Chiefs perceiv ing any influence of the British Government in the arratiget mauls of that transfer. Such were the early impression.' of the British Authori ties, and the subserment proceedings of the Netherlands Government will show how far they are correct. The British Government considered the Native Princes as independent Sovereign., and treated with diem accord- The Dutch refused to guainutee or respect our Trea ties, and would appear to have considered those faithful Aldus' of the Hiiti>b uatime as unconditionally subjected to their disorient. If this he urijost with, regard to the settlements actually iniciected to European control, what must be thought of it with regard to those States which have risen into impoi [- mice, and maiutained their connexion with Britain in oppo sition to the testiictive policy of the Dutch ? The Repre sentatives of his Netherlands Majesty would seem to aim at an absolute despotism over the whole Archipelago, with a view of excluding other European nations. The British had encoeraged sentiments of freedom as far as was compa tible with trauquinity, and had led the seethes to rely upuu them fur the continued enjoyment of them. But whatever may be the areaugements or argntnents of the Netherlands Government with regard to the Archi pelago generally, it is not necesemy to go beyond the con fines of Sumatra fur evidence of the system which they seem determined to mimic, and alaitist which it is the main object of this Paper to protest. The circumstances are as follow : Hi the 2d Article of the Convention of 1311, August,lSl4, the British Government ceded the island of Banes to the King of the Netherlands. Th.s island, valuable on account of its tin mines, had, in the year 1812, been previously ceded to Great Britain by his Highness Sultan Najnimidin, of Palembang, on the ex press condition that all former contracts and agreements should be annulled, site that the Saltan should be main. rained allit supported in his dignity by the British Govern ment, without the further interference of the European Government in the affairs of Palembang. So important was this stipulation considered by the Sultan, that WI the Ist August, 1813, it was an express Article of au explana tory Treaty, that the former clause which stipulated that his Highness 'hernia do homage, or consider himself always (ICpelliialli OD the Goverimient of) ava, was " 111311 and void," astetag unnecessary under existing circumstances. When the British weie about to withdraw from Java, and arrangements were made fur the transfer of Bailee, it was necessary to withdraw the email British force which had pro. visiuually remained at Palembang for the protection of the Sultan. On that °rennin the Sultan appealed to the British Government io the strongest ieflll4. The following extract from one of his Highness's letters to the Hon. Mr. Findall, may be suflicient for the present purpose " 1 hasten to send back my Ambassadors to Batavia to wait upon my friend the Lieutenaist.Guvernor, of whom I earnestly entreat that lie will confirm and settle all the Sr. tangements regarding me and she country of Palembang, as heretofore existiog—and that those relations may minor uointerrapted, notwithstanding the caiiiiihrolienent of the Dutch Government on the island of Java. I cannot oat any consideration separate myself bum the friendship existing between she and the Butish Goverioneirt, sod I place my eellanCe On the Braid) Government, that their protection inuy nut he withdrawn, kc. kc.
