Last Thursday evening a brig, mounting I 4 car-
riage wins. and six swivels, under white colours,
entered the harbour from the sonttr.vard. The
NI Aster Atteadant's boat, as usual, proceeded on
board, and returned with three Javan..se, who re-
ported, that the vessel was named the and for-
mat ly commanded by Captain blunkenberg, be-
longed to the Dutch East India Company at
marang ; had sailed from thence ahrmt 8 months
since for Termite, to cruise off the Islands, touching
at Nlacass-r in thtlr way. It was .bunt two months
ere they leached blacasser, where they remained
flae month ; that the Captain, thricers, ar.d Euro-
p?an part of the crew, twelve in number, had treated
them very lil, with constant abis.:e, punishment, and
almost starvation; that linable to bear this treat-
men:, they unanimously resolved to des:rny them,
and carry the vessel to a Biitish port ; accordingly,
four days after leaving Maeasser, when at anchor
no a bank, about mid,uight, the Dutchmen all asleep,
they raurezred every one, and threw them over-
boat d; they then searched the vessel for all the
papers, which were thrown orea-boud and sunk,
apprehmsive of their leading t a discover y, should
they fall in with any Dutch vessel ; that they then
made s til for this island, with intent to deliver
up the vessel to Gov. rnment ; :shout six weeks after
they reached what they supposed Litwin, when the
boat with four men went ashore for provisions, but
dad not return; that they sailed thence «hoot six
weeks since

Shortly after anchoring, the Honourable tptain
Cochrane proceeded on board, and took posseun.
