" To CAPTAIN SALMOND.

Sift—Volt Ire herrhy mmuintea to proceed on a special
miNnon to Palembang, the object of which is to afford to
the Sitllan the protection of the British Government.

" 2 lam unacquainted with the wrisures which may have
been pursued by the Dutch Government with curet to Pa•
lembang; but whatever they may have been, they can in no
way interfere with the ditty of the British Government, to
support the present Sultan, Raton Achmed Najnmudin, on
the Throne, to which he was raised by their authority. This,
indeed, was the express condition on which be ceded the
island of Banca.
" 3. The Dutch Government have no claim whatever to a
footing at Palembang„ by virtue or the recent Convention,
and therefore it depends upon the Sultan, as au independent
Prince, whether he chooses to admit them or not. In his
recent communications to me, he expresses himself to be in
the utmost distress and anxiety, in COIMMUCOCC of the dia-
lorder and confusian into which the country has been thrown
by the expected arrival of a Dutch Commissioner, and in
the full hope that I will give him proofs of my nssi,tance and
friendship, calls upon me to know what I tan do fur him, nit
his sole reliance it upon the British Covet iiinent, oho raised
lain to the Throne.
° 4. From thin it would appear, that the Sultan has not let
mitered into any formal arrangement with the Dwelt Go-
vernment ; but as they may have taken measures for form.
ing an establishment in defiance of the Protest of the Bri-
tigla Government, and of the rights of the Sultan, no time
liould be lost in calling upon the Sultan to make his alec-
timi ; and if be is desirous of excluding the Doti), and of
rtmaining under the British Nutt ction, nit explanatory
Treaty should be migneinied,
" 5. At all events, it will be venue duty to convince the Stil-
ton that he is not absndoned by the British Government ;
and aboold he place himself unequivocally tinder its proteb
Lion, to afford him that protection to the extent of your
and to require that the Dutch withdraw all piettia
sinus, and in no way further interfere with time atl'•ors of
I Palembang.

that I have just ter-Tired information of the me:lfmk,, pia.
sited by you at Palembang, as sepresentatise of the Com mis-
&ion. ra-Getternl.
" it is stated that you have taken np a wai!ike position
off the Sultan's Palace, mot demanded of him to surrender
°tie-half of his country to his bother. the il-posi it Sultan
ktahomed Budrui!an, and in the event of not doing so,
threatened him with dethronement.
" It is impossible, Sir, for you to he ignorant of the cir-
cumstances under which the Sivlb•it Najiimutlin was raised
to the throne; and that his Britannic Majesty having by
an express article of the Convention rc,led Rance to the
King cf the Netlvelands, is !milli] to protect the Sultan in
his rights and dignity.
" The King of the Netherlamla having further acrspteti
sad taken possession of that island midst. the Treaty, ho-,
by that act, fully acithowleilgeill the Independents of the
Sultan ; whatever, therefore, shakes the authority of that
Prince, shakes also the only title by which h' Rrilaimie
Majesty could cede Bence to the NetbetlandsGnvertimtat.
" I can hardly bring m.. elf to believe that this net. on
your part, if authorised by the Commissioners-General ;
much less that you, Sit, ahtive all men, should have
taken upon yourself to art iii the manner shove stated
towards a Prince under the immediate protection of the Bri-

the lb lush Government on leaving Java, and in defiance of
