Accounts from Batavia, dated December 11, mention a
recent earthquake in the island of Lacon, near the city of
Manilla, which had done great mischief, and, ns it was
believed, occasioned the loss of many lives. Some dif.
ferenees had occurred between the Dutch on the west coast
of Borneo, and the Chinese of Montrado. The parties bad
-proceeded to hostilities, and the Dutch, overpowered by
numbers, had thought it adviashie to retreat from Sink°.
wang. They accordingly spiked and abandoned their
cannon, and threw the ammunition into the river, the
roads being too bad to bring them away. Saved by the
darkness of the night, they reached the boats, when they
found that ten Europeans, and some natives, were missing.
Besides these, they had lost in one of the preceding skir-
mishes, nine Europeans, and fourteen natives.
We have received Singapore Chronicles to the 9th De•
cember inclusive, which give some important intelligence
from that settlement and the Eastern Archipelago, mid
especially with respect to the state of the Dutch colonies
in the Eastern Islands. In Celebes, the Dutch settle-
ment of Nlaeasiar was closely hemmed in by the savages,
and was anxiously expecting the arrival of reinforcements
from Java. In the interior of Sumatra an insurrection
had broken out, which cannon and ammunition have been
sent from Banca to suppress. But the most formidable
attack which the Dutch have suffered has been in a quar-
ter where it was little apprehended. The Chinese gold
miners, on the west coast of Borneo, are in insurrection
against the Dutch authorities, and have displayed a degree
of courage and skill for which that people have never bad
credit. A force of 300 regular, and 4or 300 irregular,
Dutch troops has been completely worsted, with the loss
of all its cannon and other arms, ammunition, and baggage.
Seventeen ships have been taken up by the East India
