" If Ilse informations which hag rt./4(1144 yon wills rel to 111.• 1111P1' , 11r, .1 I 1 , ,11 , et l'3lanisaise, under authority of the Couirsii-sioness•Genes al, has been able to raise your soirproie and astonishment, it was on the other hand with nu less decire in repel and cousternat' that I WAS affiTird oil the pesiu.al of plot- letter, and un being apprised of the further measures you had determined upon, if you, use to say, on such a slight foundation. " Tile utilises, on whose reports only every informat' &pendia that could hare reached Fort Marlborough al the slate of your dispatches, left Palemban; at a ;solos' when I myself had nut yet arrived at that place, when no overtures of soy nature had as yet been mask to the Court of Palem bang, whs•n the military force stationed at Palembang was still far 'whin' the usual rate of that garrison, and when of crow/invitee every iutelligenee sent off with regent to the drinamls I had to make, and to the military force I should %Intim, Iheue, could only be conjectural Rod premiere, and naturally would he exaggerated and erroneous. '• S.. tiny have in fact proved to be. The military force even now collected at Palembang, falls ►hort of what a nr0.,1 garrison ought to be, and dors certainly not exceed the limits iir a mere protectiou to a Settlement where oat a single entrenchment, our place of safety is In be found. e• If, therefore, the usual means of seltpreservation have been able to raise the apprehensions and anxiety of a pu sillanimous Court, it is a mere accident, not to be imputed eitlwr to tne or to the higher Powers louder whose authority I was active. " Nor did nay inalnictions say to use threats or military &ire against any of the Sultans. " It was not these warlike means that were depended upon for the seeress of my mission. A hope fur this success was raised un • better foundation—on the natural force of truth in convincing the Sultan Naya Moedin of his wrongs, sod of the acts of hostility which he bad committed, or allowed to ise committed, by his subjects, as well on our own territo. ries, as on those of our Allies, and on the irresistible, in. Burner which the principles of a liberal and humane Admi nistration wool,: bare on the hearts of all the people of Palembang, as !Willi as they were tendered to them, in lieu of that state of bondage and oppression to which they had been degiadril by the unwarrantable conduct of their Sultan, Nay' Murillo, and his adhereuts. " And, instead of threats nod warlike force, I have the grt alert batisfaetiurt to ariluaint you, that it was by mere peaceful and persuasive means, not only without drawing a sword, or Aring a shot, but without a single affray, with out any individual being hurt, or even restrained or cur tailed in his per.unal rights or liberty, that I was fortunate eition.eh to establish a new stale of affairs in this country, and In obtain the tree ;mortal of both the reizning and the lix.Saltnu to arrangements which, according to my own view of the subject, sod under the orders under which I acted, must certainly I had a right to make; Bud from the operation of whorls, it may be expected, that the whole popillation of Palembang, from the very low slate of want and oppression to uleCil they have horn reduced, will make a ritpul stretch towards Hot enjoyment of ease and plenty, and of till those rights bud comforts which are dependant en a state of personal security and civilization. "It MRS I.y the warlike run of your military detach.. memo devreuthog Men the mountaius that my mesvencers were btupprd on their way, guiug up to the pour inhabitaniv of iLe cuutifty, to autwouce them the abohilun of their Tana and Toukor, of every kith' of forced labour ■nd de. liver y of produce, and, abuse all,el the abominable custom of euvlosiug nut wily iudivitlaals, but wbole families and getterations of them, fur the treeing stwoont of a civil debt. " But bow could it be the fate of these humane prinei ples to be stopped in 'brie comae by a friend to humanity, by excellence Now could the patron of these principles rise up in opposition to the accomplishment of his own system, mid the Lieutenant Governor of Foit Marlborough oppose, chat it loss, and ever will be, the glory of the late Liesterant.Goverma ~ f Java to have first proclaimed ?

Whatever measures might have been found necessary for the support of the anthority that tints had so unjustifiably been wrested from the bands of an unfortnitate Prince under the immediate protection of the British Government, it in to be regret, that nothing less than open insult and the degrade lion u(flie British character in the of the natives, and this oh' a spot where British valour had so recently been conspicuous, and where Dutch gratitude was ao imperiously call Id for, would have been resorted to. astly indignant at conduit ao uojncli6ahle on the part oft he Representative of a nation at peace situ finnilship wit Great Britain, and desirous to check the progress of a w • arrow of w hich it is to bc feared this will not lie foonil ' aqii•ry iiistance, I do hereby most solemnly and publicly yrrntrat— 'First—Against the whole of the proceedings of the Ne erlauds at Palembang. as 11111ill'ilifiable, and direct violation of the ri,hts and ticaiies which it is in. curnhent on them to respect; by which proceedings, not only the character of the C ilia!, Government is seriously in volved, but its proceedings with regard 141 Ballejl rendered questionable.

Lastly—And in the strongest manner I protest and ap peal against the insult offered to the Representative of the British Government, in the arrest of th e person of Captain Salmon'', the British Agent at Palembang, holding the Re presentatives of the Netherlands Government in these seas responsible fur all the acts of aggression and insult connect. eil therewith, and which will hereafter be made known in an other place, sinless prompt and adequate satisfaction is given. conclusion I deem it necessary to state, that the ob ject of this Protest is not directed against the minor mea sures of their Excellenciew the CommisaionerwGencral, nor of the Commissioner al Palembang, nor is it intended to affect the personal good understanding and harmony which happily prevails. I have reason to respect and esteem them. It is against the political system which, as Representatives of the Netherlands Government, they have felt it their duty to adopt, that I protest; a system by which the interests of the Netherlands Govepiment appear to be exclusively onsidered, without the least reference being had in how far the honour and interests of the British nation may be involv ed thereby. To such • system it is incumbent on use to oppose the rights and duties of the British Government ; and it is to lie hoped that when the character and interests of both nations are duly considered and deliberated upon by higher authorities, such a liberal policy will be resolved opium as will at once put an end to the confusion a n d irregu larities which must cwitinue, and even increase to an alarm ing extent, while the present system is allowed to be per severed in.
