The ease is much sttrlasikAty the tlienns-
stances of the neighbo= The Dutch, whom
character as colonists and lords of inferior races
needs no description here, have taken pos-
session of all Borneo except the northern
' portion ; and there is no doubt whatever
that they contemplate the absorption of the whole
whenever Sir Linn Baoola's experiment of go-
vernment is determined by his death. To say
nothing of the quality and stems of that experi-
ment, which km never bean called in question since
it wee tested by the Chinese insurrection, it is a
consideration of very serious importance that oar
command of a central territory, rich in commodities
and advantageous for shelter, for settlement, and for
influence, depends on a clear and open national
acknowledgment of that settlement during the life
of Sir JAMES Dawes No one seems now to deny
this: the Government certainly does not: yet
nothing is done. Our Sag off that coast, any move
towards obtaining the coal !hr our stations at
Singapore and Hong Kong,—any overt sign
whatever that Sarawak is adopted and protected by
England, is all that is necessary. The alternatives
ought to be oxisidered before it is too late. That
those settlements, with their rising intelligence,
their expanding commerce, and their commanding
position, will be lost to the country at the death of a
man no longer young, is the one certainty of the
are, if moms are not speedily taken to say
" Hands of!" in a civil way to the Dutch.
But, besides the Dutch, there are the Ame-
ricans and the French, either of whom would
be delighted to promise good things to the in-
habitants any day, in consideration of so desirable
a station. We have lost the Soo-100 group already,by
the apathy or timidity of a Minister who seems wil-
ling to throw away kingdom and their commerce
to avoid trouble, as loos as the territories lie bayona
the people's ken. The treaty about 800-100 is thrown
over, and the Spaniards have ousted us there. These
Borneo settlements are oar last chance in that
Archipelago; and that Minister will have a miserable
reputation with posterity who hums and haws over
such an opportunity, and quibbles about the terms
of treaty with a settlement ruled by a British sub-
ject, till, some direful day, the news comes that the
time for securing Sarawak has gone by. No
British subject worthy of the name will interpose
any difficulty on the ground of his personal claims ;
and it is well known that Sir Jere® BROOKE does
not. Whatever is judged best for British interests
will be law to him, as far as his individual title is
concerned. His local interest is on behalf of the
people of Sarawak ; and there can be no question of
their ruler's duty to protect them from the tender
mercies of the Dutch, their nearest neighbours, and
the watchful spider in the centre of that web of ooin-
neseeial end territorial interests. It is not, in prin-
ciple, good economy for Governments to undertake
industrial objects—nor need it be done here; but
there would be political advantage in Government
showing that we intend to avail ourselves of the coal
in Borneo, both at Sarawak and Labuan. The
Sarawak Company are individually wealthy, and
might surely be stimulated to further achievement,
if well guided. Let a thoror;,-hly good practical
memo, be sent oat, with a commission, to ascertain
the quality and supposed quantity of the coal, and
with means to render available the preparations
already existing. When we have shown that we
value and use the British settlements in Borneo both
for our own sake and that of the hopeful and rising
tribes of natives, and when, on the other hand, we
stock our Eastern stations with coal from their very
midst we shall have done a very obvious duty, and
may still be at a loss for an answer to the simple
question—why we have been so long about it. It is
for Lord CL ARENDON to give such an answer as he
may hare ready.

THE CALCUTTA MAIL.

Files of papers have been received, via Trieste,
from Calcutta to the 24th of December, Bombay to
the 29th of December, and Hong Kong to the 18th
of December. The Bombay papers do not contain
any additional news.
We take the following from the Calcutta English-
Man of the 24th of lember :
" The last for .thW has not been fruitful in im-
portant news, bat we send home official reports
from various parts of the country, which show that
our forces are taking the ascendant, and that the
I only formidable resistance now to be expected is in
Dude. For the present the subjugation of that
little kingdom is postponed; the Commander-in-
Chief, it is understood, proceeds to Futtyghur to
put down the revolted Nawab and his adherents,
open the communication with the upper provinces,
and trample out the smouldering fires of insurrec-
tion in Rohilcund. The country will then be clear
for operations against Lnoknow, in which he will
be aided by Jung Bahadoor, at the head of 10,000
Nepaulese soldiers. The mutineers and rebels have
concentrated at Lucknow ; they are preparing for a
resolute defence, and,! having no favour to expect
from their enemy, will probably hold out u long
as possible. It is not anticipated by those who
know the country that any serious resistance will
be made in any other part of Oude, but the forts
in which the chiefs and chuckleders have been
accustomed to ensconce themselves to resist their
own King must be destroyed, and the possession
of cannon or any arms, except for sporting, must
be strictly prohibited. Whether this can be ac-
oomplished during the present cold weather is very
doubtful, and it will not be safe or prudent to keep
the British soldier& in the field during another
hot and rainy season, and it is therefore by no means
improbable that another year will elapse before the
British flag flies triumphant over every town and
city in our Indian territories."
The following is the nominal Roll of officers
Killed and Wounded and Missing, in actions
with the enemy near Cawipore, from the 26th
November to the 2nd December, 1867, inclusive :

ships of which entered the river on the Bth, will take
the Whampoa branch of the river. Captain A. C.
Key, of the Sane.Pareil, is to command the Naval
Brigade, and will be supported by Captains Cochrane
and Osborne, and Commanders Hamilton and Hood;
while the field piece parties are to be under the im-
mediate direction of Admiral Seymour and Captain

vessel; and the crews of the ganboats have been
increased from five to ten men each. General
Straubenzee will of course command the land forces.

A notification in the name of the two Plenipoten-

inhabitants of the impending oontingency, and urging
them to look to themselves.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS. TIILIDAT EVINING.

The uniformity of the military addresses to the
Emperor now in course of publication by the Hui-
tar is broken by General Eusine, of the 19th mili-
tary division, who thus improves upon M. de
Moray's insolent menace to England :—" This odious
and cowardly attempt has filled our hearts with in.
dignation and rage against those who, by
giving an asylum to these sanguinary anar-
chists, have made themselves their accomplices."
The Zonaves of the Guard who were on duty
at the Tuileries on the evening of the event are
made to say that they were the first to fly to their
arms, and that they " almost regret" that they did
not have occasion to use them, in order to prove their
devotion to his Majesty. The appearance of these
addressee is a very remarkable sign of the times.
People sigh when they remember that the throat.
cutting of Dec. 4,1861, was preluded by similar voices
from the Paris barracks. Of course the addressee
in themselves signify nothing whatever but the obe-
dience of the army to the commander-in-chief, who hu
ordered the colonels of regiments to send them up.
The men sign them as they would vote for a govern-
ment candidate, or perform any other military duty
at the. ord of command. Nobody will attempt to
insult common sense by questioning this obvious
fact. The only serious subject for reflection is what can
be the motive of the government—which is aware
that the public knows that these addressee are dic-
tated from the 'Tuileries—in ordering the army
to sesame such a menacing attitude. It is contrary
to all received principles in France that armed
bodies should deliberate ; and any colonel who
should presume to forward a political address front
his regiment spontaneously would assuredly be
cashiered.

The political prisoners who yet remained at Belle-
isle were removed to Mont St. Michel on the 13th
instant.

Three or four English journals (the Daily Newt
included), and several German newspapers, have
been seized to-day.
The Bourse wu good to-day. The Rents rose
15c. for cash and 20c. for account, closing at 69*.
20c. in etch case. Mobilier rose 23fr. 76c. The
Lyons railway rose 16fr. and the other lines from
2fr. 60c. to dfr.

The Petrie states that the resignation of the
Portuguese ministry, which has been announced by
telegraph, has not yet been accepted.
A despatch from Mounter (Roumelia) of lan. 4,
states that two couriers had been sent by the Packs
of Sarajevo announcing that troubles had broken
out in Bosnia. 3,000 Bashi-Bazonks had been im.
