The immense importation of gold and silver
within two years is proved by the quantity that has
been coined at the • t. In 1817 it amounted to
Iti millions of silver roubles, and op to Ist De-
cember this year, to 2'2 nil:bons of silver roubles
in gold and silver. The quantity sails uncoined
amounts to i 6 millions of silver ides. Though
70,000 roubles ore coined daily, the mint cannot
work fast enough to coin immediately the metal
delitered in. It therefore issues silver bonds, on
which are fixed certain periods fur the receipt of the
silver coin, and these period. already go as tar as
Oct. 1819. These bonds circulate as ready money,
but at a tit:count of coarse.
The mint regularly gives, on the receipt of piastres
in bars, one-fifth of the value in coin and 11w rest
in the shove bonds. These large quainities of the
precious metals are mostly private property. Not-
withstanding the large quantity of silver and gold
winch has thus come into circulation within these
two year., no proportionate decline is observed in
the l rare: of the precious metals, compared with
Rank assignuts. This is certainly caused by the
immense importation of foreign goods, as well
openly as by smuggling, which makes the balance
of our trade unfavourable—not the ostensible ha.
lance, which is always favourable, hut the real.

THE BRUT 111III PRESS.

LONDON,

SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1819.

An Evening Paper has published what we be-
lieve must be considered an *dal reply to the
Protest made by Sir Tuostss St ANFORD RAFFLES
against the proceedings of the Dutch Commis-
lioness at Palembang. The writer, who, we pre-
sume, is some person connected with the Nether-
lands legation in this conntry, commences with a
brief historical review of the political condition of
Palembang, for the purpose of 'hewing that in for-
►ner times its Sultan, " like all the other native
Princes in those quarters, was subject and tribu-
tary to the Dutch Government"—that " the Dutch
had a fort and garrison, with a civil jurisdiction, at
Palembang"--and triat 't in lsl2 the local British

authorities m Jave.had dethroned the then reigning
Sultan, and put his brother in his place, with wltou►
they made a Treaty, by which the island of Bauca
was ceded."
To this historical notice we shall add, that by
this Treaty concluded between Great Britain and
the Sultan Nahimuritts, the island of Boma was
ceded on the express condition that the Sultan
should be maintained and supported in his dignity
by the British Government.
The writer of the reply proceeds to %tate, that by
the Treaty of 1814, between the British and Nether-
lands Governments. " nll the factories and este-
blislunents which had been possessed by lloHand
on the Ist of January, 1803, should be restored to
the King of the NVTIIERLANDS," and that Palent-
. bang was one of those establishments. fay the se-
cond article of the same Treaty, the island of Basics
was ceded to the. King of the NETHERLANDS in
full sovereignty, in exchange for the settlement of
Cochin, on the roast of Malabar. The writer thence
-concludes, that Palembang was comprised in the
Dutch factories and establishments thus restored,
while Baoc,► was ceded for another consideration,
and consequently that whatever power the Dutch
formerly pos•essrJ at Pslemhn►g, was restored by
o the Treaty of 1814 altli CileAt Britain.
Now, as the matter appears to us, the sole ques-
tion for conaideration is this, whether the British
Government had a right, during its sovereignty in
Sumatra, to make a Treaty with ally of the Native
Princes! If the answer should be in the affirma-
tive, the consequence is obvious with respect to the

Dutch Government ; but if in the negative, it will
follow that the British Government had deceived
3.-.41 cheated the Sultan of PALEMBANG, and had
only mocked him with a skew if protection it was
unable to fulfil.
In his Protest, Governer Itecwtts remarks, that
at the period of making this Treaty with the Sultan
of PA I.F:MBA NG, Holland did tint exist as a nation,
nor was its iestoration contemplated as a probable
result of the political cominution which at that time
agitated the world. But lent an argument drawn
from this source might be charged with a want of
generosity, the political degradation of the United
Provinces being the result of foreign aggression,
we shall not pursue it, but cotisider the subject
tipoit a broad, antl, Mr think, a fair principle. By
the act of color-test which gave the suprentecy in the
Eastern Seas to the British Hai, all the power and
rights formerly puseessed by the Dutch Giivernment
were transferred to the Govertitnent of Great Bri-
loin. It is a principle of national law, that a con-
queior, on taking possession of a foreign colony,
has the right of enacting. altering, and repealing
laws, and of performing every other act of sove-
reignty in as foil and ample a manner sa was en-
joyed by fernier rulers. If this he true of a colony,
it must be a Athol.: true of a minor estaidish-
tnent, or of a property which consisted rather in
personal influence than in Retrial occupancy. Pa-
lembang was not a Dutch colony, but it was re.
garde(' as a dependency on the great power formed
tit the Eastern Seas by Holland—a kind of fief, if
we may so express ourselves, held fa capite of the
Dutch Government established at Java. The tri-
bute derived fruit] Paletshs►rg was part of the re-
venues of that Government ; and as the Dutch
might at any time have destroyed this source of re-
venue. or bartered it for a compensation, so might
their sucreseors, who stood exactly its their place.
The British Government acted in this manner,
and pledged its faith for the maiiitenatice cf the
Treaty it concluded. Can it he pretended for an
instant that the disseverance of the provinces of
the Netherlands from the Imperial Crown of
Fran-cr, revived every right once enjoyed by Hol-
land, and abrogated every act perfumed by the
British Government in what were once Dutch co-
lonies and factories ? This pretension, however, if
it could have existed, is repelled, not only by the
circumstance of the present kingdom of the Ne-
therlands being altogether a new Power, totally
distinct from the former Republic of the Seven
United Provinces. but, iudeperolent of this, by
the implied acknowledgment on the part of the
Goven.u►eut of the Netherlands, of the necessity
of a complete Treaty, by which Great Britain
should surrender certain possestions therein spe-
cified. The very existence of Ill's Treaty proves
that, in the nion of the Dutch Government, the
possession end cousegeent sovereignty of this
country was absolute over those places. It is from
this Treaty that the Dutch derive their sole right ;
but in the fair construction of the Treaty, the
Dutch cannot possibly derive under it a greater
authority in the places ceded, than was possessed
by those who make the surrender. The power of the
Dutch in 1818, mast be measured, not by the ex-
tea of Dutch influence in 1803, but by the ex.
tent of British authority in 1914. This country
could give no more than it possessed, and conse-
quently all that we ceded to the Netherland" must
be accompanied by those restrictions, conditions,
and limitations, which it had been our will or policy
to impose. Palembaug, or rather the tribute de-
rived front the Sultan of it, had been given up
to that Sovereign. The British Government had
an undoubted right to surrender it by Treaty, and
as the faith of this couutry is pledged to maintain
the provisions of that Treaty, it could UMW have
beets imagined by any reasonable man, either in
Great Britain or the Netherlands, that the violation
of that Treaty and of the public faith that guarded

x'"

it, could hive been coutemplated by the British
Government in signing the subsequent Treaty with
the Netherlands.
If we had not already extended these ?meth so
Tar, we should now ask why the Dutch Authorities,
who certainly are not disposed to suffer their rights
to remain dormant, did not take an mullet oppor-
tunity of inverting their claim to Palembang ? This
alone affords a presumption of their own conscious.
ness that they did not possess the right now contest-
ed. We shall not observe upon the very unfair im-
putations that are thrown by the writer of the reply
upon those who in this country CewUre the conduct
of the Dutch in the Eastern Seas, and endeavour to
awaken Englishmen to a sense of the dangers that
beset their E Ist Indian commerce. The trade
• with the Archipelago is the must valuable branch
of Oriental commerce ; hot should the Dutch
Authorities in that quarter of the world be pet.
witted, unrestrained, to pursue their system of un-
grateful and ungenerous aggressions, we may ex.
pect soon to hear of British vessels being wholly
excluded from any participation in that lucrative
branch of commerce. What course our Govern-
ment may think proper to pursue we cannot pretend
to say, lint it undoubtedly is due to our national
character, on which much of our power in the
East depends, not to falsify the hopes which our
solemn promises may at any time have excited in
the breast of the native Princes. It was a strong
sense of this honourable and advantageous poncy
that dictated the Protest made by Sir THOMAS S.
RAFFLES, and by this our Government must
eventually be influesiced.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday remain doe. Th►
following is an extract from r private letter of Mon-
day :

" PARIN, JANUARY 11.

" This mornings Royal Message was communi-
cated to the Lower Chamber, wherein his MAJESTY
declares his intention of providing fifty thousand
livres a-year out of the Civil List for the Duke de
RICHELIEU, a flattering testimony of national satis-
faction and royal munificence.—Another commu-
nication was made, that the financial year was to
coininence fro:n the Ist of July, which, for the
ilium, will prevent the expenditure of the public
money previously to its being granted.
" The live per Cent. Consols this day are
(17 1. 10 r."

We have received Hasnhorgh Papers to the 9th
instant. The Emperor or Russt♦ will expected at
St. Petersburgh oil the 9.3 d of last mouth.

We have 'received Dwelt Papers to the 13th in-
stant. Their contents are not important.

We have received New York Papers to the 15!11
last. There was some discussion in the !louse or
R►presentatives on the Bth, respecting the mode
of inquiry into the case Or ARBUTHNOT and
Asl—
ORIITER. It is interesting, as throwing some
_ _

light upon the temper and feeling of the House
on that impudent subject. One Member ob-
served, that the fittest maces opinion in the case
was pretty manifest, as had he disapproved or
the conduct of Grovel JAciLsoN he had it in his
power to strike him off the Military List, which
he bad not done. The subject was resumed on
the 9th, when the Resolution of the preceding day,
for discharging the Military Committee from the
further consideration of so much of the President's
Message as relates to the trial of A anUTHNoT and
Amaassma, and referring same to the Committee
of Foreign Relations, with instructions to in.
qiiire how far it affected the law of nations, we
take.' into consideretion. A debate of some length
ensued, iti which ►Messrs. Poindexter, Floyd, Simp.
kin', Deash, Walker, Baldwin, and Taylor, ad-
vocated an indefinite postponement of the Reso.
lotion—and Messrs. Cobb, Johnson (of Kentucky),
and Edwards, spoke against postponement. In the
course of the debate the Speaker intimated his

impression that the whole discussion had been
premature. He thought Gentlemen on all hands
appeared disposed to anticipate the debate, which
would more properly take place after the Com.
mittee had made their report. After a debate of
considerable length, the question was taken on the
indefinite postponement of the Resolution, and de-
cided iu the affirmative by a large majority.
The occupation of Florida was brought before
the Senate on Monday the 7th, when Mr. JOllll.
SON laid upon the table the following Resolution :
" Resniveb—That the Committee on Military Affairs be
in.tructed to inquire into the expediency of passiug a Law,
authorising the President of the United States to take pro-
visional pusayasina of East Florida, or of such parts of it as
be say deem essential, now or hereafter, to COlillei the In-
dians, mad to remit them from committing hostilities
against tbeCitileas of the United States."

Yesterday. at three o'clock, another Cabinet
Conned was held at the house of Lord CASTLE..
REACH, in St. Jamey's-square, which was attended
by the some Members as on Thuniciy, being the
whole of the Cabinet except the LORD CRAIICIL
LOR. They continued in deliberation until half-
past five o'clock. when they broke up.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when the following Captains
were swarm into the command of their respective
ships, viz. Captain G. WRLITIAD, to the General
Harris, for Priam of Wale* Island and China ;
and Captain T. MsTAGORILT, to the Rose, for
