The Voltaire, from Batavia, has a►rived in the Texel, after a passage of one hundred days. It arrives very seasonably to contradict the news of its insurrection at SMIUIIIBIII6 which has been circulated on the rrutlionty of the English Papers. All the letters from Java, up to the Ist of Octo ber, 1818, agree in statiug that the colony en joyed the moot perfect tranquillity. Produce was at a very high price, and there were more than seventy vessels in the rondo of Batavia, a number which proves the increasing activity of commerce. The news received from the Ntoluyeas was so favour able, and good order mid tranquillity to well esta blished tit those islands, that the Commissaries.

Boeckholt, Cominiosioner of the Netherlands, with the Sultan of ( ) maim's, on the aot coast of Borneo, who has long desired it. This alliance seems to have been promoted by the assist.

He set se extravagant 'sheens the intnidnetion of a new and imprnved administration in the • country confided to his care sod conquered by his n■iinu; but &Wends and want of knowledge of gover 1111 l rot con stantly overthrew the good which national pride or personal vanity night have effected. It deserves to be remarked, that the gardens of the man who io his cabinet developed the moat benevolent ideas of the •Irolitiou of vassalage, were kept in order by tine hundred Javanese, whose abodes were at a distance of thirty leagues, and who were compelled to this work without remuneration—a proof how great edifier ence there is between theory and practice. He pretended to have freed the inhabitants from oppression, and by an entire want of contiol and superintendence, left them a prey to the rapacity of their Chiefs, and the faithlessneas of the officers. He uniform influence. Unity could not exist in a Government which consisted of heterogeneous parts. Nothing was more general under his Government than disorder and blunders. No great degree of penetration is required to convince our selves that under such • Government the abolition of abuse*, and the introduction of freedom, existed only upon purer; on our taking possession of three Colonies, ex perience confirmed this in its whole extent, and we soon found nothitig but old and new absurdities cowered with fine mid liberal names. The protection of the laws was promised to all, and yet many latiguished in chains with out a judicial sentence. Freedom of commerce and cultism tints shone in • I the ordinances, but underhand orders re voked them, mad prescribed constraint sad monopoly. It is difficult to imagine why, under 'web circumstances, theJa renew should have feared the return of the Government of the Netherlands. But should some have looked forward with uneasiness to the restoration of the Dutch Government, yet all apprehension has certainly been removed by the pro mise of • mild government, most solemnly giveu by the Commissioned General, in assuming the administra tion, and by the liberal principle' which have distin guished the acts of this Government from the beginning. By wholesome regulations, the Javanese is protected as far as possible from extortion; his productions (which hitherto, by the illegal influence of his protectors, fell at a low price into the hands of speculators) are sow paid for at the market price, and are therefore, in comparison with what lately took place, of fonr-fold value to him. Feudal services are hindered as much as possible, and where local circum stances render them necessary, they have been very much alleviated by increasing the rates of payment, which, in moat case', are now more than doable what they were under the British Government. The unfortunate events in the Moluccas, have perhaps lent to the English accounts an appearance of truth; but it will not be difficult to clear up this matter. It must be confessed that the system of Government originally intro duced into the Moluccas, was not built upon liberal prin ciples. Its object was to bring all the valuable productions of the Archipelago, at very low prices, into the heads of the Government. Now, the English having given more freedom in their trade and agriculture to the inhabitants, they were sorry to be left by • Government which was more favourable to them than the preceding. But the Moluccas have been twice under the British Goveromeat,willsout the smallest 111111 e• linratiou of the lot of the inhabitants, and when the Nether lands Government lately resumed possession of these Colo nies, all the ordinances and regulations formerly introduced by the Dutch Government still twinkled in full vigour. It is not out of attachment to the English that the Amboynese took up arms. The inhabitants of these islands have always been adverse to the Government of the Europeans. This dislike was a smouldering fire, which gave rise to insur rections u iider both the Netherlands and English Governments. It is very natural that this hardly suppressed fire burst out with double violence through the rash conduct of one man, when but • small force could be sent at the begin ning to these islands. It may therefore be justly con cluded, that the odorous given by the English are in all re. speck extravagant and exaggerated, and with reaped to the Island of Java, Mir and all false. On the contrary, we may justly flatter enameled with favourable prospects, sod firmly ' believe that the wise measures of the present Government will give more and more grounds fur the attachment of the Javanese to the Government, who miss no opportunity to secure them the full value of their labour, and to protect them in the enjoyment of their acknowledged rights."— (Moar(em Courant, January 14.) GERMAN PAPERS. TRH NIPPER RUM), UNUARY 5. The most important sews we have received is, that the Court of Bavaria has resolved to accede formally and wit►- out reserve to the Convention respecting the affairs of Baden, agreed upon at Aix-la-Ckapelle. According to ac counts which have been received, it was the Emperor Alex ander, the defender of the integrity of the state of Baden, who resolved to crown his work by removing every opposi tion to the points ■greed upon in this affair by the High Allied Powers, and indneing Bavaria formally to approve what had been arranged without its concurrence. This was the more necessary, as by the Treaties concluded with the Court of Austria, and partly with other Powers (in which it is true Baden bail no part), Bavaria had indisputable claims to the Palatinate of the !thine, and to the Circle of the Marne and Tauber, which . claims might have been brought upon any favourable opportupity that might in future occur. In order, therefore, to wane Baden for the future also, Alex ander sent his Minister of State, Count Capo d'lstriajo Mu nich to obtain the accession of Maximilian Joseph to this Con vention. This accession met with the less difficulty on the part of Bavaria, as the King had always declared that be had no demands to make immediately upon Baden, but that he was entitled to claim for the four great Powers a supplementary indemnification, as was promised him by Treaty, for the ces sions which he was obliged to coat to Austria,and that it was for the great Powers to determine in what this indemnity should conrisa. Now as these Powers, upon the application of Baden, and the earnest intervention of Alexander, bad derided at Aix-la.Cliapelle that Baden had not to furnish this indegnity to Bavaria, the latter Court acted quite con .sistently in declaring that it would make no difficulty in adhering to this agreement, and in conipl)ing with t►e de sire of Count Capo .distria. This affair is therefore settled. Baden has henceforth nothing to apprehend Irani Bavaria. The latter has, by its accession to the arrange ment of Aix-la-Chapelle, recognised the rights of the Counts of Hochberg to the accessaion, and has for ever renounced its claim. to the Palatinate; the arrangements to be made in the detached districts (Melons), w hich concern only the Circle of the Marne and Tauber, wilt easily be made 7rw..•+r by the Committee at Franhfurt. It is hoped, therefore, that the direct diplomatic relatioa% hetsteen the 'two SIAM, which were so WOE interrupted, will be greedily renewed.— Bot while Bavaria Ins so readily seceded to the wishes of the great Powers, and particularly of the Emperor Alexan der, it has nit in the least needed from its just claims to a sripplementary indemnity. (to the contrary, it has just now began in pro... Tole this affair at Vienna, and it is generally affirmed that the mission of M. VIM ffel to the Austrian capital has nu other object. But bow in the present state of things this supplt mentary indemnity is tube filed, seeing these 14 no ierflipry disposable for sin , a purrr , e, appears to many persons an enigma. —(Arno Gazelle, Jel•Awsril ITUTOARD, JANUARY IJ.

LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 25, Igl9, Since our last publication we have received a variety of Foreign Papers—French, Belgian, and German. The death of the exiled Queen of SPAIN, consort of CHARLES IV. is announced in the Paris Papers. She died at Rome on Ott 9th of last month. after an illness of only a few days. This is the fourth Queen whose death we have had to announce within • short space of time, but we believe it is that which will be the least regretted. Iler power in the Cabinet during the reign of CHARLES IV. was considerable, but wifortinistely for her fame she exercised it neither to her own credit, to the honour of her husband, nor the se curity of the country. The French Funds seem at length to have acquired some stability. Their prices were on Monday, Five per Ceuta. 68 f. IS c.—Bank Stuck, 1,5(10 f. Tuesday, Five per Cents. 67 f. 96 c.—Hank Stuck, 1,500 f. Weduesday,Five per Cents. 67 f. 90 c —Bank Stuck , 1,495 r On Thursday was performed at all the churches of Paris the anniversary funeral service to the me mory of the unfortunate Louis XVI. Deputations from both the Legislative Chambers were appointed to appear on that occasiou at the church of St. Denis. The Journals AIMOUUCE their intention of not appearing on Friday, in consequence of the rer ligious solemnity of the day preceding. The Dutch Papers contain some intelligence from Java, accompanied by a long and stupid at tack upon Sir Ttiosiss S. ILAFFhes, the late Go vernor of that interesting colony, and now Governor of Bencoolen. From the tone that pervades this miserable ebullition of wounded pride and disap pointed ambitiou or avarice, it can easily be dis cerned that THOMAS STAMFORD RAFFLES is re. girded by the Dutch as a very formidable and active rival to their schemes of ambition end violence in the Oriental Seas, and that the con ' Oast exhibited by their rapacity to the parental administrutiou of that di.tiiignished man in Java, is a source of bitter anxiety. It will be reinenibeied that Sir Taustas S. RAFFLI:s, iti his Flawed and able Protest, U 4 originally published in this Pap, r, against the conduct of the Netherlends Commis ' gloom et Palemheng, intimated his intention of retaining the former Dutch Settlement of Pahang in his hand., until reparation were made for the out rage offered to the English insole by the proceed. *togs of the Dutch. It now appears, that he had carried this threat into execution, and that the troops who hard been sent to take pos session of Padang, have been compelled to re turn to Java. An attempt is made to shew that while the Uritish Governor of Java hail affected to promote the roltardagraof the people. the J.IVISUeSe wire in reality oppressed in every instance, and that they rejoice in their rdurti to the Dutch G,avern- orient, under whose prott'ction they enjoy Fret! siiile advantage. The best proof of a goad go. vertituent is to be found in the condition of the lienple, and if by this rule we are to estimate the character of tie British 4dinini•traUuu w Le a , we moat value it highly, for then the Javanese were contented mid tranquil, and educed the utmost confidence and love towards the Governor. Nottni q . could exceed the grief expressed by the Javanese at his departure, except their consternation and horn ) . at being restored to the hutch; and that country, which, mode: the 1 . ...m:115t) Goveritinent, wags de lightful picture of peace and happiness', was, ua the first appearance of the Dutch authorities, a scene of confusion a..d bloodshed. Three facts speak v‘liitnes with regard to the relative cps. ratters of the two Ailinintatratione. The Co . vernor is accused of levity and inconsistency, hut let the result of his messitres speak for the I.lf. dour that conceived }lllll the vigour that enliotA them. It is said that while he smoke in public VT the abolition of slavery, his own gardens were kept in order by 100 Javanese, who were compelled 1.1 travel a distance of 30 leagues to perform that ta•k, The absurdity of this charge refutes tirrlf ; for even supposing the Governor ever so well iltipowd to up. hold slavery, he might assuredly have procured 100 slaves nearer the place of his residence 6311 30 leagues, to dress his garden, who would also lie wore nodes the immediate control of their task-master. But we are not to suppose that because slavery i s abolished in a country, that bodily labour is thereby prohibited. la every country hundreds of p•opl♦. in ay be procured to dress gardens mud till the ground, and no person of ordinary understa. rtiog will consider such aq occupation as a proof of the existence of slavery. A Flanders Mail arrived last night, with Papers to the '22d inotant. They feel very sore oil the I ,te exposure of the Dutch eticrowehroeots in the In dont Archipelago. A Brussels Paper of the 20th says : " Accounts from Batavia, from respectable authority, and dated the Ist October, far from mentioning the pretended insurrection at Semarang, in Jars, say, that the most com plete tranquillity reigned in the colony, end that the rchch Bagoen Serret, the instigator of the troubles at Cheribon, had been taken, with a great number of his partisans." Some paragraphs have lately appeared its one or the London daily Morning Prints, calculated to aggravate the pain and regret which his MAJI.SIY . , affil cted state has excited in every class of his loyal and affectionate subjects. It was with peculiar satisfaction we found ourselves enabled to glee a direct and positive contradiction to these it joirorus aii.l offensive statements, upon the authority of The It Express, a highly respectable Paper, the Editor of which resides on the spot, and had every possible means that his local a:tuation could afford to acquire accurate information upon the subject,. - It might have been expected that the Paper in which these misrepzeseutations originated would have benefited by this correction, and seized an early opportunity to acknowledge its errors ; but, instead of recantation, advice has produced reassertion— and instead of regret, anger and disappointinent.—. The Editor of The Windsor Express has, therefore, found it necessary to recur to the subject. His reply is given in our sobsequent columns, and will, we trust, put an end to this di:stressing ContruVersy.—. Feeling alike on the subject with the writer in The Windsor Express, " we are not aware that ally honest purpose can be served in attempting to per suade the nation, contrary to the truth, that their afflicted SOVEREIGN is shut up In ruinous rooms. We hold it a libel upon the affection of his family. IRA the duty of the honourable charactris silo Mc charged to watch over his comforts."
