Accounts from Batavia to the 17th of June inform that the
engagements with the rebels still continued. In the Jotirnal of the
7,h June it is said that the rebels, having manifested an intention
of attaeking the position of our troops at Megiri. a atmog column,
can?er Colonel Cnchius, was sent thither, on the 29th of May, front
Djocjocarta, to oppose them, in conjunction with a column under
the Pangerang Mangtm Negorn. Roth arrived in due time, and
put the enemy to flight, who then took a strong position in Mere,
where it was not thought advisable to attack them that day, be-
cause the Pangerang had expended his ammunition, and the en.
lumn from Djocjocarta had made a long march. About the same
time, another column, under Lieutenant-Colonel Gey, in conjunc-
tion with the Pangerang, attacked and dispersed the rebels, who
had assembled in great numbers in the Kassa of liambang.Arong.
The enemy had several killed, tome of whom appear by their dress
to have been Chiefs. The next day. Lieutenant-Colonel (icy occu-
pied the Desna of Jarinnes, where lie was attacked by a hand of
4 or 500 rebels, who advanced regularly to the combat, in the (Images
of priests, but were di.per•ed by the cavalry, leaving behind several
killed, and the remainder flying in disorder. This column returned
on the :10th of May to Djocjocarta, by way of Tempel. The greater
part of the Residency of socracsrta was tranquil, and the sultan
had sent another colts tnn of his troops to Kadin". which marched on

Magellan, with 2,00 armed men and Coolies. These auxiliaries
were expected to he very useful.
We Learn from Groningen that the number of deaths, from the
21st to the 213th, was only 162, being thirteen fewer than in the
week preceding. The number of sick, however, had not decreased,
because the convalescent recover slowly, and easily experience re.
lapses, even :hone who want lor n•tthing. It seems that medical
assistance is now to be hail when required.
GHENT, OCT. 1.

The Mercury, a Journal published here, gives a particular ac-
count of the disasters at Ostend. The manner in which the Editor
co eludes the article is remarkable. We copy it literally.
" There are still three powder magazines at Ostend, and it is
reported that people are at work every night in carrying this powder
to Port Wellington, situated out of the town. In the infirmary
thcrc are seven soldiers, whose lives are nearly despaired of. The
last Journal of Ostend says, that one of these is dead. There are
also fifteen others dreadfully burnt, whose lives will be saved, but
who will probably reonein cripples. Shall we now sneak of the
reports circulating in I /stead, of the little care taken in the powder
magazines there, and the supposed causes of the explosion ? No.
iVhat people any is incredible; yet—but let us rather wait for the
result of the investigation trade on the spot. the King's attar.
