An arrival from India liar furnished ns with the following secnunt of the energy end activity of Sir THOMAS STAMFORD RAFFIA., in maintaining the interests of his country ageing the encroachments of the Dutch in the Indian Seas :- ICIITRACT FROM • LFTTCR DATID MRCS OF MALES.. 1.1.41 0 4 D, MARCH 1, 1119. " Yon are probably aware of the proceedings of the Dutch, and of their plans to exclude •s not only from the commerce of the 111.ilayan Archipelago, but to obstruct our China trade. They hail already made the most rapid strides, and not satisfied with declaring themselves sovereigns of all Borneo and the whole of the Islands, were about to become anvereigns of the Emden. Seas, when it fell to be the duty of Sir Thomas Stamford Rallies, the Liegtesant•Goverear, of Bellewlris, to check their (nether progress by the esta blishment of a British port to the eastward of Malacca, at Singapore, the ancient maritime capital of the •Matitys. About three weeks ago that valuable Officer hail the satis faction to make engagements with the Native Anthoritier, and to establish a British factory at Singapore, situate in the Straits of Sinespore, and in a position combining every ad vantage. It is only to choice at the map to be convinced of its importance for the protection of our China trade, sod for insuring to us a fair participation in the trade of the Eastern Islamic It possesses one of the finest harbours is those me; the Dutch never had a factory the►e,attd it promises to become at an early dale use of our most valuable positioos i■ India.—Tbe Dutch are terribly annoyed, as this step completely destroys all their pleas for our exclusion. They will exert every nerve to injure the success of the establishment; but If it be only supported from home, its eventual 'access, cud the advantages that must accrue, are in no way doubtful. The station is entirely commercial, and fur the protection of oar commercial intereMs, and if England eau negotiate for Banes, her interests to the eastward may be considered as adequately provided for. Sir T. S. Raffles, to whom kis country is indebted for these important services, has bees absent from his Goversorseut for the la►t six months, in their execution. He hes just taken his leave of us oa his departure for Ache's, on the northern side of Sumatra, to which he is pee as agent of the Go .General, to settle oar political alTairs and interests in that quarter, after whirls he returns to the mat of his Government, at Fort Marlborough." We feel the sincerest satisfaction at being this day enabled to present to our readers official accounts of an important victory obtained by ■ division of the Venezuelan army, under General SANTANDER. over a body of Royalist troops. con sisting of 3,500 men, who were marching from Santa Fe to Achaguas, for the purpose of joining the forces under General MORILLO. The action was fought on the 15th of April last, at Santiago de Pure. and the victory, if the report made by SAN. TANDItit to BOLIVAII. President of the Republic of Venezuela, be correct. appears to have been most complete. The Royalist corps is said to have been 'hilated. The most important results are confi dently anticipated from this triumph by the con quering General. The capital of New Grenada seemed already to open its gates to receive him, and the liberation of New Grenada, the object for which SANTANDUR was dispatched by the Republic of Venezuela, was to be immediately effected. But besides this immediate consequence of SAIITAti. DER'S victory. the destruction of so large a body of Royalist troops. on whom MOIRILLo had principally depended to liberate him front the island of Ai:lin guini, where he is watched by PAEZ with a consider able army. must exercise a very important influence upon the safety of this Commander. hi the memo time, Bottvaa is advancing upon him from Venues; sad UODANETA. with • large body of British volunteers, from ()mime : so that while SANTANDEIt proceeds with little opposition to restore New Grenada to independence, the other three Chiefs will have combiued- to ef fect the destruction of MoatLLo's army, and the capture of Caracole. Such at least are the hopes which, according to the latest intelligence from South America, animated the boioms and•di reeted the energies oT the Independent Chieftains ; and really when we consider the relative situations se tbecoatendiog patties, with tefereoce to their pre. sent strength sod hopes' of future succour ► we caws not believe that to any reasoning or dispassionate mind their expectations would appear toe pressitlip tools.. By the destruction of this force of 3.500 men, Santa Fe must have been left comparatively weak, and could not be expected tooffer sit effectual resistance to an army flushed with victory, - and cheer ed 'by the promise of speedy independeuce. if Monsl.l.o were unable to relieve himself from t he (lir agreeable saretilloace of the brave and skilful PASZ, without tile assistance of so large a body of troops as that which in its march to succour him became the victim of its own temerity, his chance of success must be desperate indeed, when to the army or PAEZ are united the troops of BOLIVAR, and the British auxiliaries under UtDANETA• But it is ! front Europe that the darkest presages arise to mark the downfall of the Swinish empire in South America. From Great Britain and Ireland thou sands of gallant soldiers forocred to the scene of ac tion, to rouge themselves beneath the standard of independence; cud if the ►kill of their C mender" were worthy of their valour. the cause for ' which they fight could 11/11 f oil of peening soccer,- ful. On the other side. nothing can be imagined more contemptible sod forlorn than the condition of the Spanish Government, with which eve,. the means of strength become the harbinger of destruction. The army has refused to emhnrk, and the Govern ment possesses no power to compel the obedience of its military servants. So far from being enabled to punish, it cannot even dielmod the troops, for they are conscious of their strength, and have pros ed their willingness to exert it. The Spanish troops in South America have hitherto maintained their power with a kind of desperate valour, hut their spirit must be at length broken when they find themselves deserted by their brethren in arm., *lto, by their disobedience, pronounced the cause of the mother country to be utterly hopeless. Their slum bers must of necessity wear awry in the present wasting war, for they can have iso means of re cruiting their exhausted racks front a people whom they have exasperated, and na succour of soy COtistqUeliCe can now be sent to them from Europe. The Paris Pipers of Saturday lost, which have arrived it onr Office, are occupied in a conside►able degree with accounts of the proceedisigs it the seer rol public Meetings in England, mid with trio scripts from the German Papers respecting the con spirecier of the Illumines throughout ill Germany. Vulgar minds are delighted with a phew of mystery, and with the discovery of whit they ere pleased to consider coincidences; it is spot, therefore, surpri.- hog to find some persons attempting to establi.li mysterious sympathetic • between the Re /corners of Englantl,the Illnnantiti of Germany, rod the Carlsonasi of Indy. The German Reformers, however, appear to be the most formidable combi nation, and we find them, perhaps from a conscious ness of their strength, carrying their isitetitions to a more dangerous height than either the English or Italians. The professed, and, we believe, the real object of those who in this country call them selves Reformers, is the estabhi►hmeot of annual Parliament', and the election of Representatives by universal suffrage, by which the prerogatives of the Crown and the pnvileges of the House of Lords would remain untouched ; the object of the Cur bonari in holy is the erection of their native country into one Monarchy, whereby she would become elevated in the scale of notions, be rescued from the imbecility and misery consetpient on her present divisions, while Europe would derive front this union the iulviutage of an additional power of the first class, which, from its situation, would contri bute essentially to preserve the equilibrium of the Continent; but the German Illuminati, as we are told, contemplate the destruction of all the institu tions and governments now existing in Germany, and the erecticn of ill the States into one mighty Republic, which, if established, must in time be come the mistress of Europe. This project is said to be embraced by all the learned youth of Ger many, embracing persons of every sect and caste in society, and who, in the contemplation of this fdvon site scheme, sacrifice every feeling of local interests to *lila they consider the genetsl interests of Ger many. The Universities Wife long been suspected as having given birth to this wild speculation, and the several Governments, particularly that of PrUt4. sill, have in consequence endeavoured to make them the objects of distrust and terror. The truth of suds allegations seems very doubtful. A spirit of liberty, however, pervades ull Germany, which, without sanctioning the Republican scheme, will. we doubt not, succeed io cump•ellinq the revers! Governsneuts which yet louse the public voice to establish Cou•tltutloos founded on the most 111wrid principles. We are not surprised that the Court of Berlin should strive to create alarm. as by such meows only can it hope to port, the fulfilment of the KING'S promwe. Such an expedient Is un worthy of • great KING. and lw who would stoup to practise it, doer not merit the fidelity or attach ment of his people.
